Opiates are physically additive. Alcohol is physically addictive. SSRIs, antipsychotics benzodiazepines, barbiturates, and hypnotics/z-drugs are also physically addictive. You can die from acute withdrawal if you've physically dependent on alcohol, barbs, benzos … Amphetamines aren't addictive physically. You don't get dope sick from missing a dose of amphetamines. The same for methamphetamine. In fact, they are the same drug. They both break down to the same metabolites, and the physiological effects are nearly the same.

averat84 they are taking the drugs and addicted to them to escape reality. The above comment is accurate, your comment is only a detail or fact that supports the above comment. People don’t take drugs because they are happy and content with their life, they take them because they want to feel better and they keep taking them because it’s the only thing that makes them feel better and they keep taking them when it doesn’t make them feel better anymore because they are biologically addicted and detoxing from the drug would cause great distress in the persons reality so of course they don’t give up the drug because the discomfort of the reality of living without it becomes too painful to face so they die with the addiction. It is all escaping reality. The reality is overcoming addiction is uncomfortable and most people can’t face that discomfort

I have been following Dr. Peeke since about 2006. I love her because she actually cares about women's health and she lives the lifestyle she advocates. I have seen her live and have met her in person (autographing my book). She's a caring person and she resonates with me. This Tedx Talk doesn't cover her research on menopause, but I have followed her advice since I was 35 or 36 and I'm all the more healthy for it. Her big a-ha for us in this talk is that we can change our genetics. I've changed mine.

Having a soda and chips while watching this made it hit home that much harder,,, and the hit went to the gut. The lovely thing is knowing I can change it. Best part of this tedtalk is that I can change anything that makes me feel helpless into something that makes me feel empowered. Thanks.

+Nikki Caswell What-is has no bearing on what is coming unless you are continually regurgitating the story of what is. By thinking and speaking more of how you really want your life to be, you allow what you are currently living to be the jumping-off place for so much more. But if you speak predominantly of what-is, then you still jump off -but you jump off into more of the same. When you reach for the thought that feels better, the Universe is now responding differently to you because of that effort. And so, the things that follow you get better and better, too. So it gets easier to reach for the thought that feels better, because you are on ever-increasing, improving platforms that feel better.

I’m an alcohol/food addict. It’s hard enough to make 2-3 healthy consumption choices in a day but it’s wise to remember every healthy choice counts. It all adds up over the years.

Very informative TED talk. Never realized that addiction to sugary substances can be just as severe as drug addiction. On the other hand, drug addiction comes with more acute and severe consequences, plus drugs don't really function as nourishment, so that's probably why the urgency to wean people off drugs makes more sense.

Healthy fixes fills those voids. I agree with that quote. But to make sure someone like myself wants to continue feeling good when my mind gets agitated and the feeling of cold sludge next to my brain. I'm fully aware that nutrition and exercise play a huge role in maintaining a positive mental attitude and staying fit. But even when I'm staying healthy mentally and physically there's this chemical imbalance that railroads me into oblivion, literally knocks me off track again. I've researched what i can do to overcome this helpless feeling to overcome adversity but in order for me to absolutely stay on track I need that ineffective, paralytic feeling or genetic imbalance to be subtracted from within me and replaced with pure unadulterated willpower. I really try and psychologically pretend I'm 100% solid, but all of sudden I'm interrupted by a cacophony of intense pressure pulling me down when I'm full aware of knowing I need to keep moving and wanting to feel good with my day.
