71 - Why Addiction is Not a Character Flaw with Bitten Jonsson.

Hello Humans! Welcome to the 71st Show housed in “The Human Theatre”.

Addiction is an exceptional example of a word that comes with a whole lot of stigma. And today’s guest breaks down Addiction in a way that has completely revolutionised the understanding of Addiction as we have come to believe it, validating the experience of addiction and challenging the stigmas associated with it.

Today’s episode covers: Bitten’s own addiction story, the bio-chemistry and patho-physiology of Addiction, the disease concept of Addiction, the different types of addiction (you are going to be surprised at how many known addictions there are!), process versus substance addiction, protocols to treat addiction, the difference between harmful use and addiction, addiction as a multi-dimensional brain illness, why practicing physicians need to address the possibility of underlying addictions within their patients (especially those with Type 2 Diabetes, Insulin Resistance or any metabolic dysfunction), differentiating between addiction and eating disorders, why bio-chemistry overrules psychology, why addiction is more about the brain’s RESPONSE to the drug (substance or process) than about the drug itself, Bitten’s non-negotiables in her daily life and why she has been able to remain abstinent for so many years, why recovery is an athleticism, and so much more!
This episode is a MUST for anyone who knows someone or anyone who has or is battling with addiction. Bitten is a leading force in the addiction medicine space, and her work is exceptionally important and applicable. So please, share, share, share this episode! It could make a serious impact on someone!
