Confessions Of An Alcoholic - How To Get Sober w/ Matt Leonard, CPT

Today's episode of The Health Detective Podcast is a bit different, but still VERY much relevant to all of our listeners.   We have the pleasure of interviewing Matt Leonard, a former alcoholic and certified personal trainer. While we normally focus solely on how health issues were resolved using functional medicine/natural modalities, we believe it is essential to bring this topic to light, as addiction is one of the few things in life that doesn't discriminate.   Addiction doesn't care about your religion, your race, how much money you make, or what kind of family you came from. ANYONE can be subject to substance abuse or addiction, and because of that, we know that we'd be doing our audience a disservice to not share this.   We'd like to publicly thank Matt for his humility and bravery in sharing his story. It is raw, genuine, and shared with no other intention than to help others.
