In this video, I break down the 4-4-4-4 box breathing method and share the incredible physical reactions—like twitching and flinching—that happen when your body finally releases trapped stress through the breath. I’ve tried so many different types of breathwork, but finding the one that resonates with you is the key to consistency.

   Can Understanding Your Genetics Help You Beat Addiction?

   What if understanding your genetics could change the way you understand addiction? In this episode of Decoding Addiction, Brian sits down with Len May, founder of EndoDNA and a specialist in genetics, personalized medicine, neurodiversity, and the endocannabinoid system. The conversation goes far beyond traditional ideas about addiction and sobriety. Len explains how genetic predispositions may influence alcohol dependence, stress reactivity, impulsivity, dopamine, ADHD, and the way different people respond to substances, medications, and even lifestyle choices. Brian and Len also explore the relationship between alcohol addiction and ADHD, why some people seem to be wired for novelty and stimulation, how neural pathways and habits can reinforce addiction, and why building the right systems may be more effective than simply trying to rely on willpower. They also get into genetic testing, pharmacogenomics, personalized medicine, the endocannabinoid system, cannabis and CBD, neurodivergence, synaptic pruning, dopamine, trauma, routines, flow states, and the importance of creating new neural pathways in recovery. Most importantly, this conversation challenges the idea that understanding addiction is simply about identifying a lack of willpower. What if knowing more about how your brain and body are wired could help you make better decisions about recovery? This conversation is for educational purposes and is not medical advice. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional before making decisions about medications, supplements, cannabis, or other treatments.
