From Heroin to Healing: Jam Alker’s Journey from Rock Bottom to Wellness Leader
Before he was a health entrepreneur, Jam Alker was a rising star in Chicago’s rock scene—until a decade-long heroin addiction nearly cost him everything. On this episode of The Men of the House Podcast, Jam shares his powerful story of redemption, fatherhood, and finding purpose through service to others.
When the birth of his daughter in 2012 became a turning point, Jam committed to recovery—and to helping others do the same. But his battle didn’t end there. The COVID shutdown brought chronic health struggles that forced him to confront a broken medical system. That journey led him to functional medicine and holistic healing, sparking a new mission: to give others the second chance he got.
Now opening a wellness center in his community, Jam is turning pain into purpose. This conversation dives deep into addiction, fatherhood, healing, and how music, mindset, and meaning can transform a life.
