The Brain Chemicals That Fight Addiction

In this episode, we dive into the real science behind addiction recovery—and it’s all happening in your brain. What if the key to healing isn't just about willpower or detox, but about restoring serotonin and oxytocin, two essential "anti-addiction" chemicals?

We explore:

  • How addiction starves your brain of these feel-good chemicals

  • Why serotonin and oxytocin are crucial for connection, pride, and emotional balance

  • The surprising ways your brain is built to help you heal—if you give it the right tools

    Whether you’re on your own recovery journey or supporting someone else, this episode will open your eyes to the power of brain chemistry in the healing process.

    🧠✨ Your brain wants to recover. Let’s help it do what it was designed to do.
