Why Even Coffee Could Be an Addiction
from Faith Over Addiction | Biblical Idenity and Boundaries for Loving Someone with Addiction · host Tanya Gioia
In this eye-opening episode, host Tanya Gioia sits down with Norbert Heuser — a German-born inventor, entrepreneur, life and health coach, management consultant, and author — who has spent 45 years consulting people about addiction.Norbert brings a uniquely personal perspective: although he has never been addicted himself in this lifetime, he has been closely partnered with two women who struggled with alcoholism. He also experienced a near-fatal food addiction that ultimately set him on the path that shaped his life’s work.This conversation challenges everything you thought you knew about addiction — from how it begins, to what a “craving” really means, and why even your morning coffee or daily orange juice might become a gateway to deeper dependency.Norbert introduces his powerful Three P’s framework and explains why understanding addiction as a body–mind imbalance is key to true healing.Key TakeawaysHealth Is Body and Mind in HarmonyAddiction Simply Means You Cannot Say NoA Craving Is Always a Sign of (Potential) AddictionThe Three P’s FrameworkFood Addiction Is the Most Widespread Illness in the WorldFood Intolerance vs. Food AddictionAddiction Is a Gateway to More AddictionSelf-Esteem Is the Hidden BattleLove and Non-Judgment Are Foundational to RecoveryPractical Steps Norbert Uses with ClientsResources & LinksGuest — Norbert HeuserWebsite: https://improveyourlife.us/Book: Every Coffee Drinker Is an Addict — by Norbert Heuserhttps://a.co/d/0caU5h2VFree Gfit : Get this free list of Christian affirmations that spell out who you are in God – actual in God’s own words.
