    The Hidden Impact of Swimming, Antibiotics, and Accutane: Addiction, Anxiety, and Gut Health - My Husband's Healing Story

    I've shared so much over the years about my boys' healing journeys. About the years of struggle, battling every symptom that made us feel like something was wrong but no one could give us answers. The unhealthy poops, the rashes, the constant restless sleep, the allergies, the speech delays, the meltdowns and behavioral struggles that left us questioning everything. And how, through it all, rebalancing their guts didn't just completely heal their bodies... It changed our entire lives. It changed me as a mother, and as a woman.But one part of the story I haven't told enough… is my husband Ty's.When we first started rebalancing our family, it wasn't just about the kids. Ty was quietly carrying decades of symptoms that, at the time, felt totally normal.He grew up as a competitive swimmer which meant constant chlorine exposure, chronic ear infections and round after round of antibiotics, year after year. Then came the teenage acne, the Accutane, the antidepressants, and the sleeping medications. The list just kept growing.It wasn't until we adopted a microbiome lifestyle (the one that healed out boys)  that everything finally started to make sense for Ty. The decade of addiction, anxiety, depression, the constant food cravings, and the feeling that he was never fully present in his own body… it all traced back to the same root. Gut health touches every single part of who we are.This week, Ty is joining me on the podcast for a raw, vulnerable conversation about his journey. We're diving deep into his past, and how for the first time in his life, he's living medication-free and thriving.If you've ever wondered how your childhood exposures, gut health, or even your own microbiome might be influencing your mental health, your cravings, your hormones, or your child's health… this episode is for you.Coming from a man who was very skeptical in the beginning, someone who questioned whether any of this could really heal our boys, let alone change his own life, his story is living proof that it absolutely can. P.S. This might be THE episode to sit down and listen to with your partner, especially if they are on the fence about all of this microbiome talk.

    Brandon Stickney remembers booze being everywhere growing up in Lockport, New York and he definitely remembers getting a taste for it growing up. Over time, he developed bipolar disorder and his substance use disorder added cocaine and opioids as favorite drugs. Brandon's love of getting high would cost him his marriage, his successful career as a journalist and author, and his freedom, after getting busted selling drugs and being sentenced to two years in prison. He tells us about what it's like to live with mental health issues behind bars, how both prescription drugs and illicit narcotics work there, and he tells the stories of people who helped him get through. Brandon's memoir of the experience is The Five People You Meet In Prison.

    Addiction doesn't look the same for everyone — and for women, it often comes with an extra helping of shame, silence, and stigma. In this episode of This Is Woman's Work, we're unpacking how addiction and recovery show up differently for women, why the traditional recovery narrative often falls short, and what it actually takes to reclaim your life in a way that feels true, honest, and yours. I'm joined by Patti Clark—award-winning author, speaker, and middle-aged woman in long-term recovery—who knows this road from both the inside and out. In her newest book, Recovery Road Trip: Finding Purpose and Connection on the Journey Home, Patti shares stories and tools that help women not just survive addiction, but heal, grow, and reconnect with themselves. We talk about purpose, connection, creative healing, and why recovery is about so much more than sobriety—it's about coming home to yourself. Whether you're on this road or know someone who is, this episode is packed with truth, tenderness, and the reminder that there's always hope.

    In this special episode of the Alcohol Minimalist podcast, Molly Watts revisits the very first episode of the show—originally aired in January 2021 under the name Breaking the Bottle Legacy. While the podcast's sound quality and delivery may have evolved since then, the heart and mission behind Molly's message remain just as powerful and relevant.Molly shares her story as an adult child of an alcoholic and someone who lived with a 30+ year daily drinking habit. She reflects on what inspired her to begin this journey, the beliefs that shaped her transformation, and the science and mindset tools that helped her change. Whether you're new to the show or have been listening since the early days, this episode is an honest look at the beginning and a testament to how far both Molly and her community have come.Key Takeaways:The Alcohol Minimalist mission remains the same: to help you create a peaceful relationship with alcohol through science, mindset, and emotional intelligence.Molly's personal journey began as someone who didn't believe change was possible. Now, she's proof that it is.You don't need to be “perfect” to begin—change starts with action, not perfection.The episode outlines Molly's foundational beliefs:You are not powerless over alcohol.Sobriety is not the only path to peace with alcohol.Science, wellness, and emotional intelligence empower choice.Understanding emotional numbing is essential for daily habit drinkers.Molly emphasizes the importance of owning your journey and questioning long-held stories and beliefs about alcohol, especially for adult children of alcoholics.If you're struggling with a daily drinking habit or feel stuck because of your past with alcohol, this episode is a chance to hear how change is truly possible. Listen with fresh ears and see how far you've come—or how far you could go.Resources Mentioned:Molly's book: Breaking the Bottle LegacyLearn more and get support at mollywatts.comLow risk drinking guidelines from the NIAAA:Healthy men under 65:No more than 4 drinks in one day and no more than 14 drinks per week.Healthy women (all ages) and healthy men 65 and older:No more than 3 drinks in one day and no more than 7 drinks per week.One drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor. So remember that a mixed drink or full glass of wine are probably more than one drink.Abstinence from alcoholAbstinence from alcohol is the best choice for people who take medication(s) that interact with alcohol, have health conditions that could be exacerbated by alcohol (e.g. liver disease), are pregnant or may become pregnant or have had a problem with alcohol or another substance in the past.Benefits of “low-risk” drinkingFollowing these guidelines reduces the risk of health problems such as cancer, liver disease, reduced immunity, ulcers, sleep problems, complications of existing conditions, and more. It also reduces the risk of depression, social problems, and difficulties at school or work. ★ Support this podcast ★

    Amy's story is a raw look at the double-edged sword of early success and the realities behind the spotlight. From a childhood spent performing on national stages to becoming an XFL cheerleader at 20, Amy chased fame and found herself on top of the world—until it all came crashing down. When the applause faded, addiction took hold, forcing Amy to rebuild her life from the ground up.In this episode, Amy opens up about the intoxicating power of attention, the ego's rise and fall, and the life-saving journey to sobriety. She shares what it's really like to start over in an industry that never guarantees a second act, and how true fulfillment comes not from fame, but from doing the work and finding peace in the moment.If you've ever struggled with self-worth, battled addiction, or wondered what happens after the curtain falls, Amy's journey will inspire you to redefine success on your own terms.Earth Monster is the storytelling podcast that uncovers the real stories and biggest ideas that shape our lives.

    In this powerful episode of People, Alpha Warrior sits down with Ellie “Belly” Dempster to uncover her extraordinary story of grit, transformation, and redemption. Ellie opens up about her sheltered upbringing in Canada, where traditional expectations clashed with her restless spirit. She recounts how a leap to Australia at 18 led to years of addiction, living on the edge, and a moment of reckoning that propelled her to Thailand to teach and train in Muay Thai. From her first fight in a Bangkok ring to stepping onto the Power Slap stage with just weeks to prepare, Ellie shares the mindset that has carried her through injuries, self-doubt, and the weight of proving herself in male-dominated arenas. The conversation covers her work supporting orphanages, her viral ACL tear in competition, and the deep belief that no failure is final if you learn from it. With raw honesty and infectious determination, Ellie shows how every setback can become fuel for growth, and why she'll never stop stepping into the unknown.

    In this episode, Dan and Kyle explore the complex themes of self-worth, validation, and communication in relationships. They share personal anecdotes and insights on how to build and maintain self-worth without relying on external validation. The conversation delves into the impact of addiction on self-worth, the importance of effective communication in relationships, and strategies for personal growth. The hosts emphasize the need for self-reflection, understanding one's values, and the significance of surrounding oneself with supportive individuals. Takeaways: Self-worth should not depend on external validation. Building self-worth involves understanding personal values. Communication is key in maintaining healthy relationships. It's important to recognize unhealthy relationship patterns. Addiction can significantly impact self-worth. Self-reflection helps in identifying personal strengths. Maintaining self-worth requires consistent effort and self-care. Positive reinforcement should focus on the process, not just outcomes. Seeking help is different from seeking validation. Personal growth often comes from overcoming challenges. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
