84: The Science Behind Porn Addiction—and How to Stop | The Truth About Addiction Genetics, and Why You’re Not “Doomed” to Be an Addict Forever | Dr. Evelyn Higgins

Do you believe that you are genetically prone to addiction? What if you could alter these genetics? Today, I speak with Dr. Evelyn Higgins with Wired for Addiction about the science behind porn addiction, specifically the impact of epigenetics on addiction. According to Dr. Higgins, we can alter our genetic expression, developing a completely different way of life, and rewiring our brain to overcome porn addiction. Dr. Evelyn Higgins is an internationally recognized expert in epidemiology of substance use disorders, mental health conditions, and process addictions like social media, video game, and porn addiction. Across Western culture, we have a pervasive belief that our genetics play a condemning role in our lives, that they are determined, we can't change them, and they lead to outcomes we have little to no control over.Once an addict, always an addict... Epigenetics flips this belief on its head.It is not your destiny to deal with addiction cravings for life. That is not my story. It doesn't have to be yours. Pornography addiction is a battle that many face, often in silence. It’s not just about willpower—it’s about understanding what’s happening in your brain and body. BUILD THE NO MORE PORN LIFESTYLEFREE WORKSHOP: The 8 Keys to Lose Your Desire for PornFREE EBOOK: The 10 Tools to Conquer Porn CravingsSchedule a Free ConsultationIntensive Porn Addiction Recovery ProgramJoin My Email NewsletterBuy Me a CoffeeMORE ARTICLESPrevent Porn Cravings & Relapse Through Emotional Awareness TechniquesChristianity and Porn Addiction | How to Overcome Sexual & Religious ShameHow to Tell Your Wife About Your Porn RelapseHow to Help Someone with a Porn Addiction in 3 StepsStop Porn Cravings | 7 Tools to Overcome Fantasizing & Lust HabitsMusic by: Aleksey Chistilin and Oleksandr Stepanov from PixabayMusic I use: Bensound.comLicense code: UMUZHOOL5LDYMMJLSupport the showNo More Desire
