The Natural Healing Show, hosted by Catherine Carrigan, dives into the complex world of benzodiazepines and their impact on health. This episode features Nicole Lamberson, the medical director of the Benzodiazepine Information Coalition, who shares her personal journey and professional insights on the dangers of these commonly prescribed medications. Benzodiazepines, often used for anxiety, insomnia, and alcohol withdrawal, can lead to physical dependence and severe withdrawal symptoms if taken long-term.
Nicole discusses the importance of understanding the risks associated with these drugs and offers guidance on how to safely taper off them. She emphasises that many people unknowingly become dependent on benzodiazepines due to a lack of information provided by healthcare professionals. Nicole's story is both harrowing and hopeful, as she recounts her own struggles with withdrawal and the natural methods she used to heal, such as diet changes, yoga, and walking.

If you're looking for practical advice on managing medication safely or seeking inspiration from someone who has overcome significant health challenges, this episode is a must-listen. It's a reminder that natural healing methods can be powerful allies in achieving wellness.
