Ep #363 How NAD+ Supports The Brain During Addiction Recovery w/Dr. Darin Stettler & Joey Perea

This Episode was sponsored By EMERGO ACADEMY / emergoacademy.com

Dr. Darin Stettler, D.O., founder of Stettler Medical Monitoring, a University of Utah alum and osteopathic physician who’s helping patients heal through regenerative and functional medicine — from cellular repair and stem cell therapy to NAD+ and peptides. Dr. Stettler combines science and compassion to restore biological balance and long-term health.

And Joey Perea, owner of Hydrate IV Bar South Jordan and partner at Stettler Medical, whose personal story hits home for anyone touched by addiction. Joey grew up in a family shaped by both recovery and relapse. After watching his father lose 25 years of sobriety following a painful cancer battle and opioid treatment, Joey has turned his own platform into a voice for awareness — showing how therapies like NAD+, IV nutrients, and peptides can support both the body and brain during healing.

This episode dives deep into how cellular repair fuels emotional repair — how restoring your body’s chemistry can help restore your mind’s clarity, energy, and resilience.

💡 Key Talking Points

How Joey’s childhood shaped his understanding of addiction, relapse, and recovery.

What Dr. Stettler has learned about the brain’s cellular needs during recovery.

The role NAD+ plays in energy metabolism, neurotransmitter balance, and reducing cravings.

Why modern recovery should look beyond “willpower” and into cellular renewal.

How science and story come together — with Joey’s advocacy and Dr. Stettler’s medical insight — to show that healing happens from the inside out.

“Recovery isn’t just mental or spiritual — it’s biological. When we repair the cells, we give the mind a fighting chance to heal.”

Ep #362 Addiction & Amputation, Is It The Same?

In this raw and powerful episode, Al Richards and Heather Van Boerum open up in a deep and thought-provoking conversation about the unexpected parallels between addiction and amputation — two life-altering battles that demand resilience, faith, and the will to rise again.

Whether you’ve battled substance use or faced the loss of a limb, the journey toward healing is often the same. It’s about learning to say:
👉 “I am not my addiction.”
👉 “I am not my amputation.”

Both experiences strip us down to our core, forcing us to redefine who we are beyond our pain, our losses, and our scars. Al and his guest dive into how these struggles test the human spirit, and how, through faith, perseverance, and the right support, we can rebuild our lives — stronger, wiser, and more compassionate than before.

Key Takeaways:

How addiction and amputation both challenge identity — and how reclaiming your “why” can change everything.

The importance of mindset: the stories you tell yourself shape your recovery and your reality.

The power of a Higher Power — why spiritual grounding matters when life tests your limits.

The role of community and connection: no one can do this alone.

Turning pain into purpose: using adversity as fuel for transformation.

“The proofing God puts us through isn’t punishment — it’s preparation. It’s how we become enriched, refined, and ready to rise.”

Listen in if:
You’re seeking strength after loss, hope after struggle, or faith in the face of the impossible. This episode is a reminder that no matter what’s been taken from you, you still have the power to rebuild — one day, one step at a time.

EP #361 The Magic Is In The Consistency With Chris Avery

This Episode is Sponsored By EMERGO ACADEMY / emergoacademy.com

The Magic Is in the Consistency

Guest: Chris Avery — “Chris Runs America”
What if transformation wasn’t about massive leaps… but about one faithful step, repeated over time?

Chris Avery knows a thing or two about that. After five runs over twenty years, he made a decision on January 8, 2022 — just one mile a day for a week. That week became ninety days… then years of daily runs averaging sixteen miles a day. Now, he’s preparing for Chris Runs America, a 2027 journey where he’ll run 32 miles a day for 365 straight, circling the entire United States with his family by his side.

But this conversation goes way deeper than running. It’s about calling. It’s about the courage to move from hesitation to holy action — to trust God’s forge where character, clarity, and confidence are refined.

We talk about the truth behind hustle and grind — how it wears you down and pulls you from purpose. Chris shares how real growth isn’t found in the sprint, but in the “slow drip” of consistency. He drops a line that’ll stick with you:

“People prefer known hells over unknown heavens.”

Let that sink in.

This episode is about breaking that cycle — choosing formation over performance, obedience over overwhelm, and trusting that every small, consistent step leads to something sacred.

Because the magic? It’s not in the speed.
It’s in the consistency.

Three powers we each have.

Your focus - you can choose what to focus on

The meaning you assign - you can shift perspectives by assigning a different meaning to situations and experiences

Attempts to act - we can choose our actions in any given situation

When we exercise these three powers, we are exercising our agency as human beings.

Our attention is the most powerful thing we have. Learning how to direct it is the single most important skill for training our neurology and mastering our agency. Today’s technological world is assaulting our ability to focus. If we can’t control our focus, we will be reactive, stuck, and give up our agency.

How would your life change if you could become mindful and present in every moment instead of reacting and repeating the same cycles?

What if you could stay focused on your goals and in a free state every day?

What if a distraction came along and you could choose to focus on your goal instead of the distraction?

Ep #357 You Are What You Say You Are

In this episode, we explore the power of the choices we make today and how they shape who we become tomorrow. We dive into the idea that small changes—sometimes almost invisible at first—can create monumental shifts in our lives.

We also discuss how our mistakes aren’t failures—they’re stepping stones that make us wiser, stronger, and more valuable. When we focus on growth, we don’t just see who we are today; we begin to see who we can become.

Ep #356 Embracing Unconditional Love

Today on The Other Side of Addiction, we dive into the transformative power of unconditional love—starting with yourself. In this episode, we explore how loving over judgment, embodying peace, and breaking free from old patterns can help us rediscover our own power to live a more joyful, fulfilling life. Life isn’t happening to us—it’s happening for us. And when we learn to understand ourselves deeply, we realize that we are limitless.

My guest, Kerri Lewis, has walked a path through deep suffering, navigating trauma and addiction. Her journey of healing and transformation has shown her—and now us—that embracing unconditional love is not only possible but life-changing. Drawing from psychology, neuroscience, and spiritual wisdom, Kerri has created a life of true liberation. After 24 years leading in corporate America, she now dedicates herself to creating safe, welcoming spaces where people can explore who they really are, away from the pressures of what they “should” be. As a passionate speaker and coach, she helps individuals and organizations break free from old patterns, rediscover their power, and live fully.

Tune in to hear Kerri’s insights on self-love, transformation, and the freedom that comes from embracing life with an open heart.

"TRUTH" The Unshakable Mascot Miracles Foundation

I sat down with Adam Nugent from Burn Up Podcast to discuss, "TRUTH"

Truth isn’t just about telling the truth to others — it’s about living it within ourselves. It’s waking up every day and asking: Am I living in alignment with who I really am?

To be true to yourself requires courage.
Courage to face your habits, your patterns, your distractions.
Courage to look at the ways you avoid, deflect, or self-abandon.
And above all, courage to own your desires — the body you want, the relationship you crave, the money you know you're capable of making, the strength of mind and spirit you deserve to embody.

Truth and accountability are siblings.
You can't have one without the other.
Being accountable means no longer blaming the world, your past, or your pain.
It means taking radical ownership of your life — with honesty, not shame.

Truth also demands integrity —
Doing what you said you’d do
Long after the feeling you said it in has passed.

When you're living in truth:

You stop settling for halfway.

You stop dimming your light to make others comfortable.

You stop chasing things that don’t match your values — because what’s out of alignment won’t last.

And here's the deeper layer:
You can’t fully tap into your spiritual connection — your higher self, God, Source, whatever you call it — unless you’re honest about who you are and what you carry.
