Happy July 1st! If you're looking for a reset this month, this one’s for you. We sit down with Dr. Robb Kelly, an addiction expert who blends neuroscience, spirituality, and trauma recovery.

In this episode of Sober Banter, Colin and Rachel sit down with Dr. Robb Kelly - also known as the “Gordon Ramsay of Recovery”—to talk about his revolutionary approach to healing addiction. Drawing from neuroscience, trauma-informed therapy, and a spiritual mindset, Dr. Kelly breaks down why addiction is rarely just about alcohol.

With a 98% success rate, his 90-day recovery program goes far beyond talk therapy, using brainspotting, 9D breathwork, subliminal messaging, and more to rewire the brain for long-term sobriety.

Whether you're in recovery, sober curious, or supporting a loved one, this episode is packed with insight, humor, and powerful truths about trauma, identity, and the real science of recovery.
