Click here to go to episode #34
Dr. Andrei Dokukin knows how to treat addicts because he was one. He was also a trained Juilliard dancer who healed his broken back without surgery. After a troublesome start as an MD prescribing opioids to chronic pain patients, he was burnt out and realized he was contributing to the demise of patient's health rather than improving it. Tune in to hear his personal story of addiction, recovery, and how he found the strength to turn his career around.
You'll also learn about leech therapy and how it contains 60 medicinal properties!
