How do people find strength in their journey to sobriety? This episode of 'Recovery Recharged' with Ellen Stewart, the Pushy Broad from the Bronx, offers a fascinating look at recovery through the lens of neuroscience. Susan and Dave Kenney, founders of Emergo Academy, join Ellen to discuss their pioneering approach called Actualized Recovery. This method uniquely combines neuroscience, psychology, and lifestyle medicine to help individuals overcome addiction.
Susan and Dave share their journey from observing struggling youth in 2008 to creating a supportive community that has helped over 2,000 people. Their insights into how brain function drives behaviour are both enlightening and practical. The episode explores how understanding and optimising brain health can lead to transformative changes in recovery. The Kennys highlight the importance of hydration, nutrition, and routine in supporting brain function.
They also delve into the concept of neuroplasticity and how changing patterns can rewire the brain for better choices. With a focus on holistic health, they argue against the traditional notion of powerlessness in recovery, instead advocating for empowerment through choice and brain health. Listeners are invited to consider how their own brain health affects their daily lives and choices. The episode is not just about overcoming addiction but also about enhancing overall well-being through a brain-first approach.
By the end, you'll be inspired to think about your own habits and how small changes can lead to significant improvements in life quality. Are you ready to take a brain-first approach to your recovery journey?
