In this thought-provoking episode of Driven: Unscripted Success, hosts Mike Mannino Sr. and Nareman Hamdan welcome Lyle Fried, a trauma survivor, researcher, and the Director of Strategic Partnerships at Beach House Center for Recovery. Lyle opens up about his personal journey through recovery and how it inspired a new professional path—helping others heal from trauma and addiction.

Listeners will gain a deeper understanding of the science behind addiction, especially the role of dopamine and brain chemistry. Lyle breaks down complex neuroscience in a relatable way, explaining why some people are more prone to addiction due to genetic predispositions like hypodopaminergia. He also dives into alternative treatments, such as amino acids and microdosing psychedelics, and shares insight into how trauma, mental health, and recovery are intricately connected.

This episode tackles major misconceptions about addiction and mental health, explores how society’s view on these topics is shifting, and highlights how personalized care and scientific insight can lead to real healing.
