BEYOND THE REPS EP 8 Exercise, Addiction & Recovery in Barbados with Alison Gotip (Verdun House)

In this episode of Beyond The Reps, Clinical Director Alison Gotip breaks down the real link between physical activity and addiction recovery — and why movement can be one of the most effective tools for long-term sobriety.

We dig into:

  • How exercise supports the treatment of addiction

  • The clinical definition of addiction vs pop-culture “addicted” talk

  • Whether exercise itself can become addictive

  • What a real exercise prescription (Rx) looks like in recovery

  • Relapse (recidivism) rates in exercisers vs non-exercisers

  • Why some exercise protocols work better than others

This is an honest, evidence-based conversation about addiction, stigma, healing, and the role structured movement can play in rebuilding lives right here in Barbados.
