Rewiring the Brain for Addiction Recovery & Long-Term Sobriety with MJ Gottlieb
20 Aug 2025
This episode means a lot to me personally. Growing up with a father struggling with chronic alcoholism shaped my life: countless meetings, searching for answers. Thankfully, he found help, and today, none of his nine children battle addiction. That’s why my conversation with MJ Gottlieb, founder of Loosid, really resonated. MJ is a serial entrepreneur with 29 years of experience running multiple brands, agencies, and consulting firms. His work has been featured in top outlets including Forbes, Fortune, NY Times, Wall Street Journal, and more. He authored How To Ruin A Business Without Really Trying, with a foreword by Shark Tank’s Daymond John. Sober since March 21, 2012, MJ is a leading recovery advocate and host of Loosid’s popular Recovery Voices series. Featured in over 100 publications, he is dedicated to breaking the stigma of addiction and helping people access the support they need. MJ has created an incredible community centered on sobriety and healing. Together, we explored how strengthening brain health plays a vital role in sustaining recovery. Key takeaways: True recovery thrives on connection. Building authentic relationships can make all the difference. The brain’s ability to change and adapt, or neuroplasticity, is key to rewiring for lasting sobriety and emotional strength. Progress happens “one day at a time,” focusing on small, consistent habits that build over time. Tools like BrainTap offer powerful support for mental wellness, helping enhance brain function and support recovery. If you’re seeking support on your own path, I invite you to try the BrainTap app. MJ and I developed a series of 11 sessions designed to help manage stress, improve sleep, and nurture lasting change: https://braintap.com/loosid/Learn more about the Loosid app, here: https://loosidapp.com/Connect with MJ Gottlieb:https://www.instagram.com/mjgottlieb/Connect with Dr. Patrick Porter:https://drpatrickporter.com/https://www.instagram.com/drpatrickporter/https://www.facebook.com/DrPatrickPorter/https://www.youtube.com/c/drpatrickporterOther helpful links & information:http://www.braintap.pro/*Our content is for informational purposes only and should not be treated as medical or health advice.
