21: Why Treatment Doesn't Work So Well

This episode is an incredible conversation between my guest, John Giordano, and I on the topic of treatment for addiction. Mr. Giordano is an author, certified hypnotherapist, entrepreneur and an expert in the treatment of addiction and the founder of The National Institute For Holistic Addiction Studies. In addition to this, John has provided counseling and trauma recovery services to law enforcement officers and Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans. He is a state and federal expert witness and also the Chaplain of the North Miami Police Department. As a 10th-degree black belt and National Karate Champion, he also trains law enforcement officers and Green Berets in self-defense and negotiation techniques. Mr. Giordano has also contributed to over sixty-five research papers with his close friend and colleague Dr. Kenneth Blum, discoverer of the addiction gene. Their papers have been published in peer-reviewed medical and scientific journals such as: Neuropharmacology, The American Journal of Psychiatry and The Journal of Psychiatry and Neuroscience. John virtually sits down with me to share his story with addiction and how it has effected and transformed his life for the better. John describes current treatments for addiction and why they are ineffective along with the lifestyle choices people make that contribute to the problem. In addition to this, John shares valuable advice on how he dealt with his own addiction and how he was able to overcome it to help empower others.
