Show Notes
In this eye-opening episode, host Tanya Gioia sits down with Norbert Heuser — a German-born inventor, entrepreneur, life and health coach, management consultant, and author — who has spent 45 years consulting people about addiction.
Norbert brings a uniquely personal perspective: although he has never been addicted himself in this lifetime, he has been closely partnered with two women who struggled with alcoholism. He also experienced a near-fatal food addiction that ultimately set him on the path that shaped his life’s work.
This conversation challenges everything you thought you knew about addiction — from how it begins, to what a “craving” really means, and why even your morning coffee or daily orange juice might become a gateway to deeper dependency.
Norbert introduces his powerful Three P’s framework and explains why understanding addiction as a body–mind imbalance is key to true healing.

Are you caught in the chaos of addiction, constantly cleaning up emotional, spiritual, and physical messes that aren't yours? Welcome to Faith Over Addiction, where faith meets real life. Hosted by Family Recovery Coach Tanya Gioia, this podcast is designed to offer Christian women hope, healing, and practical tools to navigate the challenges of loving someone with addiction.
Through biblical truths, heartfelt stories, and actionable guidance, you’ll learn how to set healthy boundaries, find peace in the mess, and reclaim your God-given identity. You don’t have to carry what was never meant to be yours. It’s time to shift from “this is happening to me” to “this is happening for me,” and let God transform the chaos into something that glorifies Him.
Every week, I’m here to encourage you, offer clarity, and remind you that as a daughter of the King, You Always Have Other Options (YAHOO). Together, we’ll embrace faith as the foundation, boundaries as the bridge to healing, and God’s truth as the ultimate guide to freedom, strength, and grace.
Blessings,
Tanya Gioia 🌸
