Episode 10 - Understanding Addiction with Ann Marie Powell - Part 1

When you hear the word “addict” what comes to mind?

A horrible person who should be ostracized from society…

…or a person with a disease that needs to be treated?

Someone we should scorn… or someone we should love?

On this episode, we sit down with Addiction expert Ann Marie Powell of Bradford Health Services to discuss all things addiction.  

The misconceptions and the truths.

It is truly an amazing interview packed with useful information.  So much so, that we decided to break it up into three separate episodes:

Part 1 - What is addiction?

Part 2 - What factors contribute to the development of addictive behavior?

Part 3 - What can be done to treat and prevent addictive behavior?

In this first episode, “What is addiction?” Ann Marie shares with us what the latest research teaches us about addiction:

- How it is a brain disease… and should be treated as such

- Why it is NOT a moral failing

- Warning signs of potential addictive behavior

- The impact of the “feel good” chemical Dopamine on addiction

- Addictive behaviors that are celebrated… yet may be dangerous

- Why judgment is often motivated by fear

- The similarity between Type II diabetes and addiction

- How addictive behavior is the sign of something deeper

This episode is powerful and Ann Marie does a wonderful job at explaining things.

Ask someone what you could do to boost your Immune System and they will probably suggest some supplements.

In fact, it’s such a great answer that we devoted our last episode to it (see Episode 8 - Your Body Does NOT Have An Immune System).

However, what about other ways?

On this episode we - nutritionist BetyLou Pierce and chiropractor Dr. George Burroughs - take a look at what we believe are the 3 causes of all diseases.

We begin by tackling the current medical (allopathic) philosophy of “treating” sickness and disease with drugs and/or surgery and why it is limiting your body’s ability to truly heal.

We then discuss a broader perspective… a “holistic” approach that seeks to identify and correct the CAUSE of whatever is ailing you.

This holistic approach helps us transition smoothly into discussing what we believe are the 3 causes of all diseases.

Ultimately, we hope you learn two things from this episode:

1) When facing a health challenge, don’t just ask “What should I take?” Also ask “What is causing this?”

2) The cause of all health problems usually can be traced to a breakdown or weakness in the Physical, Nutritional, and/or Emotional factors of health.

On this initial episode, hosts Dr. George Burroughs and nutritionist BetyLou Pierce answer WHO this podcast is for, WHAT this podcast is about, and WHY you should listen!

How can such a beautiful state, filled with such beautiful people, consistently rank near the bottom when it comes to nearly every category related to health and wellness?

That’s the question your hosts, nutritionist BetyLou Pierce and chiropractor Dr. George Burroughs try to answer - and more importantly, correct - in the Get Healthy Alabama podcast!

Our game plan is simple: use each episode to share one or more of the natural “tools of health” we have implemented in our combined 70 years of working with people. 

In this initial episode we start by answering three fundamental questions:

 1) Who is the Get Healthy Alabama podcast for?

2) What is the Get Healthy Alabama podcast about?

3) Why should you listen to us? 🙂

If you like what you hear, we’d appreciate it if you would subscribe to the podcast and share it with a friend.
