Is our biology predisposing us to addictive tendencies? Addiction isn't just about willpower—it's deeply rooted in biology. Today, we dive into how our own biology can make it easier to fall into an addiction and make it harder to break free. Why is that though? Because it gives us leverage points to both prevent or treat addictions. Similar to trying to treat trauma just with therapy and not including the biology, addictions is a mind-body and biology condition and will require such an approach for the best outcomes. The late Dr. Charles Gant, who was our guest for this episode, achieved an 83% success rate in addiction recovery—far surpassing conventional methods that have less than a 50% success rate. By targeting neurotransmitter imbalances, detoxifying the body, and optimizing nutrition, his method offers a revolutionary path to true healing beyond traditional treatment. To honor him, this conversation highlights his outstanding efforts in understanding and overcoming addiction. You'll learn more about: Why relapse is more often a result of unaddressed biological imbalances How genetic vulnerabilities and neurotransmitter deficiencies contribute to addiction and coping patterns What you can do to naturally to improve mood and focus How detoxification can accelerate recovery and create long-term healing For more information and show notes, please visit our website: https://biologyoftrauma.com/biology-of-trauma-podcast/

Dr. Josh Friedman is a Psychologist by trade who brings multiple decades of experience to our show today. He recognized that many patient's needs were not being properly met early on into his career. Instead of just accepting things as they were, he dedicated himself to studying more and more in order to figure out how he could best serve the people he worked with. Because of his dedication, he has a very unique set perspectives when it comes to dealing with mental health naturally (he even went through FDN)! Our main focus for this podcast, though, will be Dr. Friedman's favorite method for supporting individual's mental health: amino acid therapy.

WORK with Dr. Friedman: https://moodhealing.com/ About Dr. Friedman: Dr. Josh Friedman earned his doctorate in Psychology from New York University and did post-doctoral training in Psychoanalysis from the Training and Research Institute for Self Psychology (TRISP) in New York City. After working in the field for a few years, he realized that something was missing from traditional mental health treatment. Curiosity and a chance meeting led him to discover the world of Nutritional Psychology, which teaches that many psychological issues are caused or made worse by underlying biochemical/nutritional deficiencies. Along the way he became certified as a yoga teacher, incorporating the emphasis on breathing techniques, meditation and movement into his work, as essential tools for working with mental health at the deepest levels. To enhance his effectiveness in helping people heal and grow, he became certified as a Holistic Health Counselor at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in New York and went on to earn a Diploma of Comprehensive Nutrition (Dip.CN) from Huntington College of Health Sciences. He has been lead to go deeper into the biochemistry of mental health by becoming a Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner, a Functional Diagnostic Practitioner and studying with mental health nutrition greats such as Julia Ross, MA, Dr. Charles Gant, MD, and Dr. William Walsh, Ph.D. Dr. Josh started Alternative Mental Health Solution to help people find and fix the ROOT causes of their mental health struggles.
Dr Zieve continues his conversation with Dr Charles Gant, an MD, naturopath and integrative physician, about the four-part-brain, letting go of pain and how mindfulness practices can reduce stress and provide benefits for all sorts of health challenges, from cancer to addiction. Dr. Charles Gant has practiced Integrative, Bomplementary/Alternative and Functional Medicine for over three decades, and teaches mindfulness-based meditation, incorporating Gestalt, Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy, Transpersonal and other mindfulness-based psychotherapies into his medical practice. His doctoral research in the 1980s predicted that mindfulness-based therapies should evoke consistent neurophysiological changes in brain function (especially frontal lobes), which should be measurable with brain neuroimagery, and this has essentially been proven in the last decade in functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Positron Emission Tomography research. Dr. Gant is the Director of Integrative Medicine of the neuroimagery group, Brain Enhancement Solutions and Technologies Inc. (brainenhancement.net ), which applies quantum EEG neuroimagery to diagnose and treat brain disorders and clarify the effects of brain nutritional restoration, detoxification and neurotransmitter restoration. He is also medical director and CMO of Synaptic Connections (synapticconnections.org ), a research-focused, nonprofit neuroimagery group studying the effects of neurofeedback on brain disorders and how nutrition, detoxification and neurotransmitter balancing enhance brain function and improve outcomes for various neuropsychiatric disorders. He has written several books for general readers, including "End Your Addiction Now". Read more at charlesgantmd.com.

With Antonia Quirke Antonia raids the store-room of foley artist Sue Harding at Twickenham film studios, and tries to make sense of the assorted snow shoes, filing cabinets and car parts that make the squeaks, creaks and bangs on screen. Box office takings fell by 10% this summer in a bonfire of the vanities as many star vehicles failed to launch. So, is this the end of the star system as we know it ? With all the answers is casting director Des Hamilton and box-office analyst Charles Gant. Vivien Leigh's iconic wig from A Streetcar Named Desire is up for auction this month, but how did the wig survive after six decades and who will buy it and what would they do with it ? All of these questions (and more) will be answered by Frances Christie from Sothebys and Keith Lodwick from the V and A.
With John Wilson. Larushka Ivan-Zadeh reviews the film adaptation of the bestseller Salmon Fishing In The Yemen, about an unlikely scheme to introduce fly-fishing to the desert, which results in an equally unlikely love triangle. Salmon Fishing is one of 17 films scheduled to be released in cinemas this week, an all-time high for an already overcrowded market. Box office analyst Charles Gant explains why the numbers are so great and if anybody is actually watching many of them. Writer Stanley Booth travelled with The Rolling Stones as they toured the US in 1969, gaining unique access to the band. His account of what he saw has just been re-published, and he recalls the sometimes shocking events he witnessed, and also remembers the moment when he heard Otis Redding record (Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay. The Fontana Modern Masters series were as known for their covers as their content - colourful, geometric patterns that have acquired the status of art, with several being sold as prints in their own right. Now artist Jamie Shovlin has added his own contribution, by painting covers for books that were commissioned but, for some reason, never published. And 100 days before the start of the Olympics, John talks to Damon Albarn ahead of a Front Row special with the musician, about his three separate contributions to the Cultural Olympiad. Producer Ellie Bury.
