Raising Healthy Kids in a Culture of Addiction with Author Jessica Lahey

On this episode, I welcome New York Times Bestselling Author, Dr. Jessica Lahey to talk about her new book--The Addiction Inoculation: Raising Healthy Kids in a Culture of Dependance. We discuss the following (and so much more): What a "culture of dependance means." When we should start speaking to children about substance use (Hint: It's a lot earlier than you may think). What role do genetics and environment play in addiction? Do school-based prevention programs work? What are some protective factors for substance use in children?
