Dr. Hallerman is an attorney and member of the New York State Bar Association. She found success in the entertainment industry as partner and head of the talent department at United Talent Agency, later becoming the top talent agent and partner at William Morris Endeavor - representing the best of Hollywood's elite. Dr. Hallermen launched Recovery Management Agency (RMA) in 2011, and it is the first-ever recovery management program of its kind. RMA is a consulting company providing clients with a team of managers to help them navigate their journey toward healing and recovery.

Having been sober for years, Dr. Hallerman realized her lifestyle was making her sick - though she had freed her addiction to substances, she had not freed her soul. After years of trauma and substance abuse, she had only covered up the wounds, rather than truly healing them from within.

So, in her 40s, Elisa went back to school, taking classes in drug and alcohol counseling at the University of California, Los Angeles, in 2010. She now holds a master’s and doctorate from Pacifica Graduate Institute in Depth Psychology and Somatic Studies, focusing on neuroscience and trauma. Dr. Hallerman is also a drug and alcohol counselor, and certified in yogic science for addictive behavior. In addition, she is a member of the Institute for Functional Medicine.

Dr. Elisa Hallerman's first novel SOULBRIETY: Heal Your Trauma, Overcome Addiction, and Reconnect with Your Soul, is a prescriptive memoir on overcoming drug and alcohol addiction, PTSD and chronic trauma. SOULBRIETY explores how to recognize adverse childhood experiences and trauma, which if unhealed - are often at the core of most adult addiction and alcoholism - and touches on timely topics such as the traumatic events facing us every day: from a pandemic, mass shootings, political injustices, war, and terrorism.

As 2022 comes to a close, it appears a new breed of health-conscious sub-species has reared its head for all to see.

Egotism and vanity have been attributed to the practice of fitness and physical health, but it has been retorted as unnecessary bias from a crowd, who may not have all its ducks together in the first place.

And the Us vs. Them-thought process was any different maybe?

Here’s something to chew on why fitness is more advantageous than perilous unless you’re a completely reprehensible glutton:

Fitness saves lives

Fitness saves mental health 

Fitness renews marriages

The list could go on, however, to solidify these points and to provide more, we called in Kiola Raines to the show this week.

Kiola has an extensive portfolio from certified nutrition coach to being a Peer Support Specialist.

She has worked in many facets of the fitness industry and has used this knowledge to inject some positive physical education into the recovery community.

She joins us on DIS Live to tell her story and to shed some much-needed light and details on how physical activity above physicality is how the ‘twain is to be met.

Happy New Year 2023! We hope you enjoyed this episode full of great knowledge and we thank you for listening!
