Whether you’re sober curious, want to cut back, or just want to get some more information on the impacts of alcohol, you’ve come to the right place. This is our first time on the podcast taking a closer look at the health implications of alcohol to determine if it is something that can be used in ‘moderation’ or could be scaled down completely. This week, we are joined with This Naked Mind senior coach and functional nutritionist Teri Patterson to help us spill the tea.

We answer these burning questions:

• Where is the best place to start if you are thinking about quitting or reducing alcohol?
• How do you set meaningful intentions related to alcohol?
• How do you dictate the role that alcohol has in our lives?
• Alcohol’s affect in our dopamine and pleasure receptors—how does this impact our other pleasures in life?
• Does alcohol impact blood sugar, cortisol, and other hormones?
• Are there safe levels of alcohol consumption?
• Are there healthier types of alcohol?
• What are some other tools that we can use when we are uncomfortable without libations?
• Let’s help reframe the thoughts: what can be gained by reducing alcohol?

Take a listen, you won’t regret it!
