OM DENNE EPISODE
Matt Willis sits down with Professor David Nutt, one of the world's leading experts on drugs and the brain, to answer a question so many people carry in silence: why can't I just stop?
David explains how addiction changes the brain, why willpower isn't always enough, and why understanding the biology can help replace shame with compassion.
He also explores the emerging science of psychedelics and their potential to help people break free from deeply rooted patterns. Your brain has been changed. That's why this is hard. But it can recover, and the science is beginning to show us how.
This episode explores Addiction, The Brain & Recovery, Shame & Stigma, and Psychedelics.
