Dr. Nzinga Harrison is Chief Medical Officer and Co-Founder of <a href='https://www.eleanorhealth.com/'>Eleanor Health</a>, a value-based provider of comprehensive, outpatient addiction treatment. She approaches addiction with an innovative, long-term, whole-person philosophy that challenges the traditional 30 day model at its very core. She is also just fabulous. She was prominently featured on<a href='https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/last-day/id1468896686'> Last Day</a>, a podcast exploring the opioid crisis in more depth than anything I have ever encountered, and her new podcast,<a href='https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/in-recovery/id1496791220?mt=2&amp;ign-itsct=pod_lemonada_inrecovery&amp;ign-itscg=80085'> In Recovery</a>, debuted on 5/18. So go listen to it! After you listen to this!  We talked about addiction as it relates to EVERYTHING (drugs, food, etc), how she outed her son&apos;s ADHD (to him) on a radio show, the surprisingly magical powers of LinkedIn, and, of course, TV.   <a rel="payment" href="http://patreon.com/lightersidepodcast">Support the show</a> (http://patreon.com/lightersidepodcast)

The Essential Lighter Side: Dr. Lowell Korman

It started as a weight loss podcast, which quickly became a mental health podcast, which somehow became a pandemic podcast.  Jay, your host  (anxiety/depression/OCD/childhood trauma/family addiction)  lost 185 lbs after having bariatric surgery.  Guests have ranged from actor Ken Marino to a woman you have never heard of who lost 250 lbs, to a recovering addict, to essential workers during COVID-19. In 2020, the show became daily and ran for 100 episodes in 100 days. The culmination of everything The Lighter Side strove to be, Jay created an oral history of the pandemic, as told through the voices of the people who lived through it. There's something for everyone on the Lighter Side.
