"Genius! Recovery Superstar is teaching powerful mind-body medicine in a clear and easy-to-learn way to people who really need it: folks recovering from addiction. The program is packed with excellent information and resources that are difficult for people in recovery who want optimal healing to find for themselves. Why hasn’t this been done before?"Â
- Dr. Juli Fraga, psychotherapist with a speciality in mindfulness
IS THIS YOU?
If you’re one of these three types of people this Recovery Superstar is for you
Ready To Taper?Â
- You are taking buprenorphine (Suboxone) and want to be able to taper off it eventually.
- “I want to be done with this — but I’m scared to let go of what’s helped me survive.”
- You still carry shame, guilt, and emotional pain — but rarely (if ever) say it out loud.
The Functional
"Silent Struggler"
- You use alcohol, opiates, cannabis, or other substances often to deal with stress, depression, anxiety or insomnia.
- You are functional but can’t stop using. What you’ve tried hasn’t worked. You’re looking for something to help you break the cycle.Â
- “I am sick of seeing my business, life and family suffer because of my addiction."
The Frustrated Family Member
- You or a family member is struggling with frequent use of substances and you want to get off the rollercoaster.
- Maybe you are a parent who is burned out and you want to learn tools to help the person struggling.
- You’ve tried or seen them go through detox, rehab and 12-step programs but the fear of relapse looms. You want to make the struggle easier for yourself and for them.
Being dependent on drugs or alcohol or on medication or an unhealthy coping method … Kinda Sucks. Especially if you don't know how to find a path to lasting freedom and stability…
And if you’re like most of the people I work with, you committed to recovery because you want to regain control of your life and feel like yourself again...
...not spend all day struggling through 12 step meetings, detox programs, or therapy only to relapse or feel incomplete!
...not spend all day worrying about your next dose or fearing withdrawal!
Well, the reality is this: Whether you currently feel stuck (or want to feel free!) in your recovery journey…
RECOVERY does not happen itself.
But this is all ok.
Because when you’re leaving hope on the table, sometimes it’s as simple as kneeling and picking it up.
And you will start picking up a renewed life when you see a week-by-week plan that you can customize for yourself …Â
The Recovery Superstar Blueprint
Doesn’t just give you your *personal roadmap*, it also:
✔️ Establishes unshakeable sobriety in your daily life.
✔️ Helps you ditch the endless, tiring cycle of addiction and relapse like constantly trying quick fixes without a clear path to lasting change.
✔️ Cultivates self-compassion which makes you bulletproof to relapse.Â
"Regardless of whether you are actively using substances or not, cultivating self compassion improves emotional regulation and reduces shame and self-blame. It will lead to less lying and less hiding and less reactivity. You will inevitably feel better and use less substances and become more resilient to relapse."
- Alex Zaphiris, MD, MS
Your Recovery Superstar Course is like a clear, compassionate roadmap out of the darkness of addiction.
And when you look around at all the successful, sober individuals you currently follow and look up to...
They all have a path or program to their success.
.... and you're about to have one too!
3 Myths About Addiction
Let’s start with the most common myths about substance use/abuse.
Myth #1:
“There’s nothing I can do to help my brain recover”
Why this isn't True
- Your brain doesn’t stop developing at a certain age.
- Your brain can make new brain cells and neural connections throughout your life.
- Your brain has the ability to change and adapt which is termed as neuroplasticity and is influenced by diet, exercise and mental stimulation
Myth #2:
“I’ll tell my family about my addiction once I am clean”
Why this isn't the right approach
- Your family finding out could be the best thing that happens for your recovery and your life.
- Most people find that their family already knows and they are accepting.
- Conflict within the social network, especially conflict in the family, increases the probability of relapse.
Myth #3:
“I have to hit rock bottom before I can recover”
Why this isn't True
- Waiting until things get worse increases the risks to your health, relationships, and future.
- Recovery is possible at any stage — you don’t need to wait for a crisis to take action.
- Research shows that early intervention leads to better long-term outcomes.
There’s now over 30 years of research on neuroplasticity - your brain’s ability to heal and recover. We know more now than ever before that it’s possible to heal your brain from brain injury, trauma and addiction.
Â
A comprehensive approach combining targeted supplements with science - based nutrition along with body-based practices is the best way to not only recover but also avoid relapse and have the life you deserve.
A science-based program that will give you the best chance of recovery
The other important element on this journey is community. Being with others who love and accept us is healing. It chips away at the protective wall around us and builds a little bit more kindness and compassion for ourselves.
"Facing down the addict within myself has been a losing battle thus far. Years of allowing an irrational, pleasure-driven beast to grow out of control has put me in a seemingly inescapable pit of despair. So, if I’m going to win the war within myself, it’s tools like this that will help."
- Rico, A Recovery Superstar Graduate

Hi, I’m Dr. Alex Zaphiris (Zuh-FEAR-is), MD MS. I help people struggling with addiction and complex chronic diseases — and their loved ones — who feel stuck and frustrated with their lack of progress in recovery.Â
From working with patients over the last 20 years I have seen what works and what doesn’t work. I bring together the missing pieces to offer an integrated, science-based whole-person approach that not only supports healing but helps prevent relapse, so individuals and families can finally experience true freedom from addiction and lasting transformation.
