84: The Science Behind Porn Addiction—and How to Stop | The Truth About Addiction Genetics, and Why You’re Not “Doomed” to Be an Addict Forever | Dr. Evelyn Higgins

Do you believe that you are genetically prone to addiction? What
if you could alter these genetics? 


Today, I speak with Dr. Evelyn Higgins with Wired for Addiction
about the science behind porn addiction, specifically the impact
of epigenetics on addiction. 

According to Dr. Higgins, we can alter our genetic expression,
developing a completely different way of life, and rewiring our
brain to overcome porn addiction. 

Dr. Evelyn Higgins is an internationally recognized expert in
epidemiology of substance use disorders, mental health
conditions, and process addictions like social media, video game,
and porn addiction. 

Across Western culture, we have a pervasive belief that our
genetics play a condemning role in our lives, that they are
determined, we can't change them, and they lead to outcomes we
have little to no control over.

Once an addict, always an addict... 

Epigenetics flips this belief on its head.

It is not your destiny to deal with addiction cravings for life.
That is not my story. It doesn't have to be yours. 

Pornography addiction is a battle that many face, often in
silence. It’s not just about willpower—it’s about understanding
what’s happening in your brain and body.
