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 parts.    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 part, “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 packed with powerful information and Ann Marie does a wonderful job at explaining things.     Be sure to listen… and share, as everyone, in some way, is affected by addiction.   Enjoy!    P.S. - If you haven’t already, subscribe and leave a rating, along with a review.   Thanks!!!   *** To learn more about the Physical, Nutritional, and Emotional factors of health, download a free copy of our ebook: 3 Causes Of All Disease at http://www.GetHealthyAlabama.com
