April 30, 2025 – “You’re not broken—you’re just wired in a way that no longer serves you. And the incredible thing is, your brain can be rewired. Change is possible, and it starts with one small step.”
Addiction is not just a behavioral issue—it’s a neurological one. Understanding how the brain becomes hijacked by substances and behaviors is key to lasting recovery, and few people explain it as powerfully as George Haymaker. A former entrepreneur who once battled a severe addiction to pain pills and alcohol, George has since rebuilt his life and now helps others do the same using neuroscience-based recovery coaching. His journey from despair to transformation gives him a unique perspective, one grounded in both personal experience and cutting-edge brain science.
In this in-depth and inspiring interview, George breaks down the role of dopamine in addiction, why it’s so difficult to break free from destructive patterns, and how the brain can rewire itself with the right tools and guidance. He offers a hopeful and practical roadmap for anyone struggling—whether with substance use, compulsive behaviors, or just feeling stuck in life.
