This week's episode of our podcast is a deeply insightful conversation with George Joseph, the founder and CEO of Positive Recovery Centers based in Houston, Texas. With over 30 years of experience, George has established himself as a leading authority in the addiction field, making significant contributions to the understanding of substance use disorders and recovery.
As part of a special #SiriusXM feature airing on December 17 at 1 PM EST on channel 129, George and I explore critical topics that are increasingly relevant in today’s society. Our discussion delves into the nuances of #marijuana use and its effects on the developing brain, shedding light on how early exposure can shape neurological pathways and influence behaviors in adolescents and young adults.
We also tackle the harrowing #fentanyl crisis, examining its unprecedented impact on communities and discussing the broader implications for public health. George shares valuable insights into the challenges posed by this potent opioid, including its role in the current landscape of addiction and recovery.
Additionally, we touch upon the effects of #alcohol as a centerpiece in the addiction narrative, highlighting its widespread consequences and the stigma often associated with alcohol use disorders. Listeners can expect a thoughtful and engaging dialogue filled with expert analysis and practical advice for those seeking to navigate the complexities of addiction recovery.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
