Dr. Nicole Labor talks the Neurobiology of Addiction 101

The Unhooked Podcast

This Unhooked conversation is with Dr. Nicole Labor, who is board certified in both family medicine and addiction medicine.

She is currently the medical director at OneEighty, a treatment center that offers inpatient and outpatient chemical dependency and behavioral health services in Wooster, OH. She is also the director of the addiction medicine Fellowship for Summa. Dr. Labor is also medical director for Interval Brotherhood home as well as the EsperTreatment Center in Erie, PA.

In recovery herself since 2005, Her Addiction Assassin Facebook page says she is the; Addiction Medicine Physician, spiritual gangster, Superhero ninja warrior pirate, ringmaster of the shit show.

First created to educate other physicians and medical professionals, Dr. Labor's lectures are something I post regularly (Here's a great one! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ras8yOq30WY&t=48s),

Dr. Labor has also written a fantastic book that I would say, is the best I have read when it comes to understanding chemicals and addiction behavior. "The Addictoholic Deconstructed" is a book I personally recommend that EVERYONE read, whether you've been addicted, loved someone who has struggled with addiction, or just need to know more (we ALL need to know more, check it out!).

Listen in as Dr. Labor explains some profound points and reveals information in such a simple way that we all can come to a new understanding.

Addiction is described as "a hole in the soul through which the cold wind blows." Understanding opens the way for solutions.
