“This is your Brain. And This is Your Brain on Booze"  

Seth sits down with Dr. Koupal, a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner who’s treated many who suffer with mental illness and addiction, including Seth himself during his darkest days. This no-holds-barred conversation reveals: 

🔹 Why alcoholics lie to their therapists and how Dr. Koupal secretly redirected Seth’s addiction-fueled political rants to rebuild his brain  

🔹 The 3-phase addiction cycle every alcoholic follows (binge → withdrawal → obsession) and why willpower fails  

🔹 Naltrexone’s "drawbridge effect" and how this miracle drug blocks 50% of alcohol cravings, and why the other 50% is where recovery happens 

🔹 Genetics, addiction, disease, and choice. What is involved when it comes to addicts and alcoholics
