EP 50: Understanding the Neuroscience of Addiction with Dr. Marc Lewis

Put simply, addiction is extremely complicated. It's not genetics, it's not choice, it's not neurochemical imbalances. Instead, it's a complex interaction of all of these. On this episode, I have one of the world's leading neuroscientists on addiction, Dr. Marc Lewis, walk us through the neurobiology of addiction in laymen's terms. My hope is that we're able to bridge some of the gap between the neuroscience and clinical practice, something notoriously difficult to do, but I believe we provide some strong insights on ways to do so.
