E71: 97% Addiction Recovery?! Rewire your brain for success | Dr. Robb Kelly: The Addiction Doctor
Description
What if the worst parts of your story could become your greatest assets? In this powerful conversation, Kristen talks with Dr. Robb Kelly, known as The Addiction Doctor, about his radical journey from homelessness and near-death to pioneering, faith-infused, neuroscience-based recovery work.
Dr. Kelly explains why alcoholism isn’t “selfishness” or weak will, how the hypothalamus and habit loops hijack choices, and why compassion plus boundaries changes everything. He also shares simple, science-backed daily practices (from oxygen-loading breaths to pattern-breaking routines) that can help anyone move toward healing.
You’ll hear:
The spiritual encounter that reoriented Dr. Kelly’s life and mission
Why he says alcoholics are born and most drug addicts are made—and what that means for families
A clear, hopeful reframe of “relapse,” identity, and self-sabotage
Practical neuroscience tools to reset your day and your brain
A call to see loved ones through the lens of truth and mercy
If you’ve ever loved someone battling addiction—or you’re rebuilding your own life—this episode will meet you with equal parts grit, grace, and actionable hope.
