In recognition of Alcohol Awareness Month, we are joined by George Koob, PhD, director of the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA). Dr. Koob talks about his background and career journey, along with major insights made through his research, including regarding alcohol withdrawal. He addresses stigma related to alcohol use (or abstinence from) and offers advice for the next generation of researchers and clinicians in this exciting and dynamic space, with so much potential for expanding knowledge. Dr. Koob shares resources for individuals, family members, physicians, or anyone looking for information related to alcohol use and alcohol use disorder, including Rethinking Drinking and the NIAAA Treatment Navigator. He emphasizes the importance of motivation (e.g., motivational interviewing) rather than confrontation and seeing your doctor, or encouraging your loved one to see their doctor, for a physical as a good first step in addressing any issues related to alcohol use. Dr. Koob finally explains his motivation for continuing his work in this field. In addition to serving as director of NIAAA, Dr. Koob is also a senior investigator at the Intramural Research Program of the National Institute on Drug Abuse where he directs the Neurobiology of Addiction Laboratory in the Integrative Neurosciences Research Branch. As an authority on alcohol use disorder, drug addiction, and stress, he has contributed to our understanding of the neurocircuitry associated with the acute reinforcing effects of alcohol and drugs and the neuroadaptations of the reward and stress circuits associated with the transition to dependence. He has published over 800 peer reviewed papers; mentored 13 PhD students, 85 post-doctoral fellows, and 11 K99's (Pathway to Independence Award postdoctoral researchers); and authored several books including the Neurobiology of Addiction. He received his PhD in behavioral physiology from Johns Hopkins University in 1972. He did post-doctoral studies at Walter Reed Army Institute of Research and the University of Cambridge (England). He subsequently held positions at The Salk Institute and the Scripps Research Institute. Dr. Koob is the recipient of many honors, including membership in the National Academy of Medicine (USA) and award of the Legion of Honor (France).

Pero nada podría estar más lejos de la verdad”, dice el Dr. George Koob, director del Instituto Nacional sobre el Abuso del Alcohol y el Alcoholismo de los NIH. “El cerebro en realidad cambia con la adicción, y se necesita mucho trabajo para que vuelva a su estado normal. Cuantas más drogas o alcohol hayas tomado, más perjudicial es para el cerebro”.Los investigadores han descubierto que gran parte del poder de la adicción radica en su capacidad para secuestrar e incluso destruir regiones cerebrales clave que están destinadas a ayudarnos a sobrevivir.

This week on the podcast, I'm talking to Dr. George Koob, PhD, the Director of the NIAAA.  The NIAAA, National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, is the nation's leading agency for research and education on alcohol and health. For more than 50 years, the NIAAA has conducted and supported research that has improved our understanding of the effects of alcohol on health and well-being, as well as influenced legislation and attitudes toward alcohol in our society.  Dr. Koob has been leading the NIAAA since 2014 and his expertise is recognized world-wide.  In this episode we talk about the mission of the NIAAA, how people can use it's resources and how our ongoing education about alcohol, including research on alcohol and it's interactions with COVID-19. The NIAAA offers several resources to help educate drinkers from an evidence-based approach.  Learn more about "Rethinking Drinking" here.  Find resources on the "Treatment Navigator" here.

Have you grabbed your free e-book, "Alcohol Truths: How Much is Safe?" Get it here.  Low 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 alcohol Abstinence 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” drinking Following 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.

Alcohol Use Disorder remains the largest cause of substance use disorder in our country. Sadly, the COVID pandemic has exacerbated the problem. There are science based dietary guidelines for alcohol consumption with definitions on how much is one drink. Test yourself to find out if you are a High Risk drinker by using the ReThinking Drinking calculators. Listen to Dr. George Koob, the leading scientist in the world on alcohol as he explains the pandemic effects on alcoholism as well as innovative solutions. George F. Koob, Ph.D., is an internationally-recognized expert on alcohol and stress, and the neurobiology of alcohol and drug addiction. He is the Director of the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), where he provides leadership in the national effort to reduce the public health burden associated with alcohol misuse. As NIAAA Director, Dr. Koob oversees a broad portfolio of alcohol research ranging from basic science to epidemiology, diagnostics, prevention, and treatment. Dr. Koob earned his doctorate in Behavioral Physiology from Johns Hopkins University in 1972. Prior to taking the helm at NIAAA, he served as Professor and Chair of the Scripps' Committee on the Neurobiology of Addictive Disorders and Director of the Alcohol Research Center at the Scripps Research Institute. Early in his career, Dr. Koob conducted research in the Department of Neurophysiology at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research and in the Arthur Vining Davis Center for Behavioral Neurobiology at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies. He was a post-doctoral fellow in the Department of Experimental Psychology and the MRC Neuropharmacology Unit at the University of Cambridge. Dr. Koob began his career investigating the neurobiology of emotion, particularly how the brain processes reward and stress. He subsequently applied basic research on emotions, including on the anatomical and neurochemical underpinnings of emotional function, to alcohol and drug addiction, significantly broadening knowledge of the adaptations within reward and stress neurocircuits that lead to addiction. This work has advanced our understanding of the physiological effects of alcohol and other substance use and why some people transition from use to misuse to addiction, while others do not. Dr. Koob has authored more than 650 peer-reviewed scientific papers and is a co-author of The Neurobiology of Addiction, a comprehensive textbook reviewing the most critical neurobiology of addiction research conducted over the past 50 years. Dr. Koob is the recipient of many prestigious honors and awards for his research, mentorship, and international scientific collaboration. In 2018 Dr. Koob received the E.M. Jellinek Memorial Award for his outstanding contributions to understanding the behavioral course of addiction. In 2017 Dr. Koob was elected to the National Academy of Medicine(

The International Conference of Secular AA celebrates the science of addiction/recovery and folk-wisdom of AA with a 1/2 day virtual free mini-conference December 5, 2020. We kick off with Dr. George Koob, director of the National Institute for Alcohol Abuse & Alcoholism (NIAAA) talking to a packed house and an engaged audience. For slides of Dr. Koob's presentation, email us at secularaa@gmail.com In the second 1/2 hour we talk with our audience about diversity and AA and how zoom helps remove barriers of language, age, creed, gender, sexual orientation as well as the other barriers that are mitigated by virtual AA. How many people are finding recovery and how many stay clean and sober during COVID-19 For more recording from this and past ICSAA conferences, visit us @ https://aasecular.org To view Dr. Koob's slides, visit Rebellion Dogs Publishing HERE

Adjusting to Becoming a Step-Parent (0:00:00)Getting married is inherently challenging, because you have to merge your lifestyle with another person. But if your union means that you're also going to become a new step-parent... that's a whole other ballgame. It's very intimidating to take over as the new father or mother figure to your spouse's children. Especially considering the fact that pop culture tends to villainize step parents regularly. We wanted to find out more about how to make the transition to step-parenthood easier, so we invited Brenda Ockun, owner and founder of Step Mom Magazine, to join us on the show to discuss her tips on making the adjustment of becoming a step-parent.  When to Stay or Go (0:15:17)In the movie When Harry Met Sally, Harry says “When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.” That's the exciting kind of love that everyone talks about, but what about the other parts? The tough rocky spots that make you wonder why on earth people say this is so great in the first place? We all need to learn to work through challenging times with our partners, but how can we tell when it'll strengthen the two of us, or when we truly need to realize it's time to leave? We invited Dr. Holly Parker, clinical psychologist and teacher of Psychology of Close Relationships at Harvard University, back on the show to teach us the difference between these situations.  Coronavirus (0:35:38)Lisa and Richie discuss what they are planning to do about coronavirus and how it affects their families.  Dangers of Alcohol (0:50:35)You've probably been asked the question “Would you like to grab a drink?” at least once in your life. Alcoholic beverages are at the center of many social events and gatherings. But just like anything else, they can be highly addictive and affect our health. Because alcohol plays such a huge role in our society, it's important that we're aware of its risks and know how to set boundaries for ourselves. Here to tell us more about the dangers of alcohol and its cultural importance is the director of the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism , Dr. George Koob.  Tax Prep (1:05:36)April 15th, the day that taxes are due, is a month away. You may have been thinking about getting started on your tax prep. So today we wanted to start from the basics and find out what we need to do to be prepared for tax day. Here to answer our questions about what we need to get ready for Tax Day is Shanyn Stewart. Shanyn is a federally licensed tax practitioner and Financial Educator and Tax Master.  Weekend Review (1:22:55)Lisa and Richie share the best ways to stay entertained this weekend even if you have to stay inside.
