Ever wondered if there's a different way to approach addiction recovery? Dr. Cali Estes and Master Coach Jenny Fontana sit down with Koorosh Rassekh, the founder of Evo Health and Wellness, to discuss just that.

This episode dives into how societal factors influence addiction and recovery, and why understanding each individual's unique needs can lead to better outcomes.
