Description
In today's episode addiction I am honored to welcome addiction specialist Dr. Robb Kelly (www.robbkelly.com) on the show. Dr. Robb and I explore the challenges associated with addiction and the ADHD mind.
Dr. Robb Kelly is a renowned Addiction Expert. Born and raised in Manchester, UK, who is eccentric, no holds bar, successful, and places his patients first kind of man. Robb is Meadows Trained in Trauma and holds a double Ph.D. It is necessary for the family to work along with the patient- we uncover the family chaos and dynamics to better resolve addiction.
Robb has overcome homelessness, alcohol dependency, trauma, PTSD and a whirlwind of events to be the "Gordon Ramsay" of the addiction treatment world. Before Robb succumbed to addiction and mental health issues, he played bass guitar at Abbey Studio with Queen, David Bowie, and Elton John. He is an accomplished musician, and the money he made helped him attend Oxford University to pursue a Ph.D. in Psychology. Robb experienced a spiritual awakening on the cold streets of Manchester while homeless and in dire straits.

Robb appeared on The Doctors CBS show, The Funky Brain podcast, and a San Antonio, Texas news segment about opioids and Purdue Pharma. Recently Robb appeared on the addiction celebrity podcast, Knockin Doorz Down. Robb is a beast in the addiction treatment world. Also, Robb is lecturing at the University of Texas at San Antonio about Addiction and recovery.
In Channel

























This is a common problem with Podcasts, when the host doesn't push back on any claims and just gets steamrolled into being a overly accomodating platform. "99% of Adderall use in the US is abuse" Where did that stat come from? "Run the most successful clinic, be on TV, make a million dollars." Not only are these goals that are not synonymous with being a good clinician, but what is even the metric for "most successful "? This is cowboy psychology and you should do better.
that Schwarzenegger bit lost me. This guy is a nut.
