Description
Where addiction ends, transformation begins. The Alchemist Recovery Podcast (formerly The Sober Shaman) explores recovery through the lens of Traditional Chinese Medicine and spiritual practice. It offers listeners a non-denominational, self-empowering path beyond the usual approaches. Hosted by Randal Lyons, a Doctor of Oriental Medicine and recovery specialist with over 30 years in the field, each episode blends practical tools for understanding the mechanisms of how the addiction cycle operates and perpetuates. This isn't just about breaking the cycle, it's about what comes after: ongoing growth, mastery, and a life re-membered. Expect solo reflections, guest conversations, and medicine for the journey ahead. With blessings, Randal
