How I Got My Brain Back… (What No One Tells You About Opioids After Surgery)

After my recent surgery, I found myself navigating a complex web of pain, painkillers, and post-op depression. This short but honest episode shares what no one really talks about — how opioids affect your brain, sleep, and mood… and the small, daily steps that helped me support my recovery.

We’re talking:

• Post-surgery sleep struggles & mental health
• The emotional darkness that can follow opioid use
• Biohacks that actually helped me feel like myself again
• What to do if you feel off, sad, or disconnected after surgery
• Natural supports for dopamine, serotonin, and nervous system repair

This one’s for anyone who’s healing — physically and mentally. Because your brain deserves recovery, too.

✨ Mentioned hacks:

Bright light therapy, omega-3s, magnesium, vitamin D, movement, tapering support, and nervous system regulation.
