Pam Feinberg-Rivkin sits down with Dr. Barbara Krantz, a family medicine and addiction medicine physician, to share a powerful story of resilience that began with migraine treatment in the 1980s and led to iatrogenic opioid dependence, detox, and a life of service in addiction medicine. Dr Krantz opens up about the stigma she faced as a young physician and mother, the turning points that moved her into recovery, and why compassion and love are essential for lasting change.

We explore how she now treats the brain as the organ of this disease, using neurocognitive assessment that blends medical history, advanced lab work, genetic insights, perfusion imaging, QEEG, and neuromodulation tools like transcranial magnetic stimulation. Dr. Krantz shares a remarkable case illustrating how restoring brain perfusion can restore lives, and reminds us that addiction is not a moral failing but a treatable brain disease.
