We talk about how your muscle isn't just for looks; it's the organ of longevity and focus. You'll learn how strength training rewires your brain for better decisions, how to eat for sustained energy (not quick crashes), and how to build habits that actually stick even when you're slammed. We also tear down some of the worst health myths entrepreneurs still believe. If you've ever said “I'll focus on my health when I have more time,” this episode will change that. ___________ 00:00:00 Introduction 00:01:42 The Right Way to Train for Cognitive Benefits 00:02:56 Physical Activity Guidelines for Entrepreneurs 00:04:13 Integrating Workouts into Daily Life 00:06:44 Prioritizing Exercise Despite a Busy Schedule 00:09:22 High-Performance Daily Routines 00:17:29 Sleep and Its Impact on Health 00:20:14 Rapid Fire Questions: Health Hacks and Myths 00:25:49 The Importance of Continuous Learning for Physicians 00:26:36 Challenges in Nutrition Communication 00:27:24 The Controversy Around Seed Oils 00:28:23 The Role of Whole Foods in Nutrition 00:30:15 AI and Human Relationships 00:34:05 The Importance of Muscle Training 00:37:33 Diet Trends and Misconceptions 00:39:21 Practical Nutrition Advice for Busy Women 00:41:43 Entrepreneurs and Health Challenges 00:46:56 Cancer Risks and Prevention 00:48:44 The Impact of Alcohol on Health 00:50:21 Final Thoughts ___________ MORE FROM BIGDEAL

For most entrepreneurs, consuming alcohol is a normalized social ritual. From networking, entertaining clients, and celebrating successes to relaxing with our friends and family. But as you'll hear from today's guest, alcohol is really just “attractively packaged poison” for our bodies. Even one or two drinks a night can slowly erode productivity, focus, and decision-making, costing millions of dollars over an entrepreneur's lifetime.James Swanwick knows this firsthand. A former ESPN SportsCenter anchor, James walked away from alcohol in 2010 and saw instant improvements that transformed his life, health, and career trajectory.Today, he's the founder of Project 90, a neuroscience-based coaching program with a 98% success rate in helping executives, entrepreneurs, and investors reduce or eliminate drinking in just 90 days. He's also the author of Clear, a practical guide to quitting alcohol without AA, rehab, or willpower.In this episode, you'll hear the shocking financial and personal costs of drinking—even in moderation—and why going alcohol-free gives high performers and entrepreneurs an ‘unfair' competitive advantage. James also shares the science behind alcohol's impact on the brain and body, and how eliminating or significantly reducing alcohol from your life can multiply your clarity, relationships, and wealth.In this episode, you'll learn: 1.) Why having just one drink a day can quietly destroy your health, relationships, and wealth.2.) The neuroscience-backed framework with a staggering 98% success rate that James uses in Project 90 to help entrepreneurs and executives eliminate alcohol and unlock peak performance.3.) What James calls the “Lost Revenue Calculator” to demonstrate how much an entrepreneur who generates millions in revenue each year could benefit from an alcohol-free lifestyle.Show Notes: LifestyleInvestor.com/259Tax Strategy MasterclassIf you're interested in learning more about Tax Strategy and how YOU can apply 28 of the best, most effective strategies right away, check out our BRAND NEW Tax Strategy Masterclass: www.lifestyleinvestor.com/taxStrategy Session For a limited time, my team is hosting free, personalized consultation calls to learn more about your goals and determine which of our courses or masterminds will get you to the next level.

This week on Think Thursday, we're exploring an idea that turns conventional wisdom on its head: defensive pessimism. While it may sound like a negative mindset, it's actually a powerful, evidence-based cognitive strategy that helps anxious or overthinking brains perform better, reduce stress, and follow through on goals more effectively.Defensive pessimism isn't about catastrophizing or giving up. It's about anticipating obstacles and using those thoughts to prepare instead of panic. In this episode, you'll learn how this approach taps into the brain's natural tendency to predict outcomes, and how making one critical shift — understanding the difference between prediction and probability — can dramatically improve your results.We'll talk about:What defensive pessimism is and why it worksThe neuroscience of prediction and how it affects your behaviorWhy your brain's “what ifs” might be trying to help youA simple three-step process to start using this strategy todayWhether you're trying to build a new habit, overcome self-doubt, or just want to feel more in control of your daily life, this mindset can help you stop overthinking and start planning with confidence.Want more support?

In this episode, I connect with Sam, a listener of the podcast. Sam shares his story growing up in Northern Virginia, where sports and family played significant roles, transitioning to a college life filled with heavy drinking and partying. After moving to Florida, Sam realized that alcohol prevented him from pursuing his passions and living a fulfilling life. A significant wake-up call from his boss helped Sam make the critical decision to stop drinking. Sam discusses his journey through sobriety, the importance of support systems like AA and podcasts, and how focusing on his hobbies and improving his mental health has changed his life. Sam now channels his energy into helping others and setting personal goals, celebrating one year of sobriety with a renewed sense of purpose and clarity.   Sam on IG: https://www.instagram.com/sammysharks9/   00:00 Introduction and Guest Welcome 00:40 Sam's Childhood and Upbringing 02:21 Early Experiences with Alcohol 03:40 High School Drinking Culture 09:37 College Life and Escalation of Drinking 14:00 Consequences and Realizations 17:44 Post-College Reflections 24:35 Health Issues and Denial 27:20 Seeking Help and Self-Reflection 34:19 Breaking the Cycle and Growth 35:15 The Unexpected Journey to Sobriety 35:41 Life in Tampa: Bars, Beaches, and Martial Arts 38:18 The Turning Point: Realizing the Impact of Alcohol 40:09 The Decision to Quit: Work and Personal Life Collide 42:52 The First Steps: AA and Early Sobriety 46:28 Transformations: Physical and Mental Health Improvements 48:20 Finding New Passions: Fishing and Fitness 49:07 Supporting Others: The Power of Community 01:00:45 Reflecting on the Journey: Advice and Encouragement

From beer to gin, from caffeine to tobacco, from mushrooms to hallucinogenic snails, a culture's options for achieving altered states of consciousness through consumables are vast! So when the people in your culture want to get blitzed -- How do they achieve that? The choices can communicate a lot to your readers about your world's technology, climate, and topography, as well as their ideas about health. Alcohol and other intoxicants also tend to accumulate lots of social apparatus around them. Unspoken rules might dictate when it's okay to get intentionally impaired and when it's unacceptable, or what forms of booze are considered high-class or low-class; actual laws might regulate both creation and consumption. You can also explore why your people partake of such things: Just for fun? Are there religious associations, like offering libations to a god or putting a prophet into a trance state? Do they think that inhaling ash is good for them? As always, we advocate both doing the research and looking for creative choices! Can you give your culture a unique intoxicant of some kind? In this episode, we also take a moment to practice what we preach and discuss the inebriating habits of the cultures in our co-built world! [Transcript for Episode 165 TK]

I carved my name on a bullet......because a thousand paper cuts had me bleeding out: no sleep at a busy house, a crumbling relationship, financial troubles, a body and mind breaking down, and losing a brother. In this raw conversation with Sammy Freyta (LPC, ATR, First Responder Counselor & firefighter spouse), we break down how that slow grind happens and how to start climbing back... one honest step at a time.What You'll Learn:Why it's not “one bad call.” How years of small hits—sleep loss, a dying home life, finances, grief—pile up until you can't think straight.Moral injury in plain talk. Sammy's “torn bicep” analogy for your brain: ignore small strains and it tears.Self-care vs. soul care. Daily basics (sleep, food, movement, sunlight, connection) vs. deeper resets that actually refill you.Sleep that fights back. Blackout the room, keep it cold, phone off at night—why stimulation wrecks your recovery.Alcohol isn't a fix. It numbs now, wrecks sleep and anxiety later. Why it made things worse.Control vs. relief. The bullet as a symbol of control—and the truth that most of us want relief, not death. If you're a firefighter who feels eroded—tired, foggy, angry, and carrying more than you say—this one's for you.Support the show

What does the Bible say about alcohol? How about smoking? It can be easy for Christians to fall into one of two ditches: legalism or anti-nomianism. However, while fundamentalist Christians are worried about things like drinking, smoking, or dancing, they tend to ignore the problem of gluttony. On the other side, while wanting to enjoy alcohol, entertainment, etc, do these things start to take the place of true joy and fulfillment, which can only be obtained through God?

Episode Highlights With GeorgiaHow the inner critic turns off when we drinkWe think we have a drinking problem, yet it's often a thinking problem or a stress problemThere's always an emotional reason for regular over-drinkingWhy some people drink to “become a better version of ourselves” if we believe we are more fun, relaxed, etc., when we drinkHow this also relates to food and eatingTools to train the deeper parts of the mind that it's safe to be thin, attractive, etc.Addressing patterns like “I'll do ___ when I lose the weight” and flipping the scriptA self-hypnosis technique you can try and use today for free at home right awayHow to use affirmations in the most powerful way including “it's safe to be me”What the future technique is and how to use itResources MentionedGeorgia's website - use code Katie001 for 25% off all progams (limited time!)Follow Georgia on Facebook, Instagram, and X.

This listener Q&A episode tackles the most common fasting challenges with evidence-based solutions, addressing Monica's self-sabotage pattern after reaching new low weights by explaining the body's three-pronged defense system (defend phase preventing further loss, restore phase increasing regain rate, and prevent phase reducing future weight loss probability) that creates powerful physiological resistance requiring equally comprehensive counter-strategies. The hosts reveal how metabolic adaptation activates during weight loss like a toddler throwing a tantrum, making the body fight harder at new weight thresholds, while providing practical "when-then planning" to manage the slippery slope of increased hunger and reduced willpower that emerges from dopamine deficits caused by sleep disruption and stress. They address Emily's two-week plateau after losing seven pounds initially with 20:4 fasting, explaining the critical distinction between water weight loss from glycogen depletion versus true fat loss, recommending the Blueprint to Fasting for Fat Loss resource and strategic window timing adjustments to restart momentum. Patty's wine consumption question during OMAD receives honest analysis of alcohol's metabolic priority over fat burning, sleep disruption effects reducing next-day metabolic efficiency, and dose-dependent impact on hormones especially for postmenopausal women, with recommendations to shift from daily to occasional consumption strategically timed for better recovery. The episode covers supplement timing during fasting windows (berberine, creatine recommended daily for consistency despite potential stomach sensitivity), addresses sleep disturbances from excessive 48-hour fasting during maintenance (recommending 24-36 hour alternatives to protect sleep quality over marginal metabolic gains), and explains post-meal walking benefits for glucose management through skeletal muscle uptake and improved insulin sensitivity, even when continuous glucose monitors show delayed rather than reduced spikes. Throughout, Scott and Tommy emphasize viewing fat loss and maintenance as a continuum rather than separate phases, building sustainable habits during weight loss that seamlessly transition to lifelong maintenance, positioning their upcoming pre-Thanksgiving seven-day challenge as strategically timed to establish momentum before the holiday season while reinforcing that successful fasting integration requires addressing foundational lifestyle factors of stress, sleep, food relationships, and mindset alongside fasting schedules. ⁠⁠⁠⁠Take the NEW FASTING PERSONA QUIZ! - The Key to Unlocking Sustainable Weight Loss With Fasting!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Resources and Downloads: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SIGN UP FOR THE DROP OF THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO BLOOD SUGAR CONTROL⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠GRAB THE OPTIMAL RANGES FOR LAB WORK HERE! - NEW RESOURCE! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FREE RESOURCE - DOWNLOAD THE NEW BLUEPRINT TO FASTING FOR FAT LOSS!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SLEEP GUIDE DIRECT DOWNLOAD⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠DOWNLOAD THE FASTING TRANSFORMATION JOURNAL HERE!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Partner Links: Get your⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ FREE BOX OF LMNT⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ hydration support for the perfect electrolyte balance for your fasting lifestyle with your first purchase⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ here!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Get ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠25% off a Keto-Mojo⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ blood glucose and ketone monitor (discount shown at checkout)! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Click here!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Our Community: Let's continue the conversation.

The drinks have changed, yet the alcohol education of young people has remained relatively simplistic. This podcast offers listeners the class that we think should be taught in every high school—the information kids need in order to make informed choices. We start with the science of alcohol, and how it impacts bodies and brains differently. Then we get into consent, drink spiking, mixing alcohol and caffeine, blood alcohol concentration, blacking out, and more! And as always, we suggest different ways into the hundreds of conversations you'll want to have on the topic.

Addiction doesn't always look like rock bottom—and recovery doesn't have to mean all or nothing. In this episode, Lyndsay Soprano sits down with Katie Lain for a powerful conversation about alcohol, family patterns, and the complicated truth about what healing from addiction can actually look like.They dive into the neuroscience of alcohol use and the way it hijacks the brain's reward system, challenging the outdated narrative that addiction is simply a lack of willpower. Katie shares her personal experience and introduces the Sinclair Method, a treatment approach that uses naltrexone to gradually reduce alcohol cravings—without requiring total abstinence from day one.Lyndsay and Katie also talk about the emotional layers of drinking: early exposure, social pressure, generational trauma, and the quiet shame that keeps so many people stuck. This episode is about choice, compassion, and giving yourself permission to explore recovery in a way that feels honest and sustainable.Tune in if you've ever questioned your relationship with alcohol—or if you're ready to let go of the idea that healing only counts if it looks a certain way.Find Katie Lain Online Here:Website: thrivealcoholrecovery.comInstagram: @thrivealcoholrecoveryFacebook: Thrive Alcohol RecoveryLinkedIn: Katie LainYouTube: Thrive Alcohol RecoveryPodcast: Thrive Alcohol RecoveryFind The Pain Game Podcast Online Here:Website: thepaingamepodcast.comInstagram: @thepaingamepodcastFacebook: The Pain Game PodcastLinkedIn: Lyndsay SopranoYouTube: The Pain Game PodcastEpisode Highlights:(00:00) Introduction to Chronic Pain and Alcoholism(02:06) Personal Stories of Alcohol and Family Influence(06:12) Understanding Alcohol Addiction and the Brain(10:16) The Sinclair Method Explained(15:17) The Journey to Recovery and Finding Freedom(20:08) The Challenges of Alcohol Consumption and Social Norms(24:42) Advocacy and Awareness for the Sinclair Method(28:39) Low Dose Naltrexone and Pain Management

Today's Real Sober Mom, Jennifer, is celebrating one year of sobriety! To celebrate, she is coming full circle and telling her story here on the podcast after feeling so supported by other women who have shared their stories in the same space. Alcohol found its way into Jennifer's life through her older brother, and as they became adults a culture of partying became central to her family dynamic. This family dynamic weaved its way through her relationship with alcohol, even as she navigated liver issues in her twenties and cancer in her thirties. Jennifer began to question her relationship with alcohol after she completed treatment for colon cancer. Once she realized that she was a ‘gray area drinker' she began to explore quit lit and hired a sober coach, but it took some time for sobriety to fully ‘click' for her. The Sober Mom Life community served as a major turning point for Jennifer as she realized for the first time that she wasn't alone. With a year of sobriety under her belt, Jennifer shares about how sobriety has impacted her family dynamic, and how finding new ‘tools' to cope in place of alcohol has made all the difference in her life.

In this episode, I explore Norman Rush's Mating, focusing on the chapter “Guilty Repose” and the section “Weep for Me.” Through the narrator's encounter with the waterfall, I unpack themes of noise, solitude, mediocrity, and companionship — connecting her revelations to my own experiences with silence, striving, and the human need for connection.Discussion Highlights:How “the roar penetrates you” mirrors our craving for sensory overwhelm — music, crowds, even chaos — to quiet the mind's constant chatter.The painful beauty of solitude eroding, and what it means to reconnect with ourselves after long avoidance.The “Weep for Me” moment as an honest confrontation with buried sadness, surfacing only when the world finally goes quiet.The narrator's fear of mediocrity and how society equates “average” with “unacceptable,” fueling endless striving.The final revelation — “If you had a companion you would stay where you are” — as a call to seek steadiness, humility, and shared presence over transcendence.

In this week's episode, Molly dives deeper into the More Sober October theme: Who are you without the drink? If you've ever felt like you're at war with yourself when it comes to drinking decisions, you're not imagining it. Molly unpacks the neuroscience behind this inner conflict and introduces listeners to the concept of our two selves—the automatic self and the intentional self.Referencing Daniel Kahneman's book Thinking, Fast and Slow, Molly breaks down how System 1 (your fast, emotional, habitual brain) and System 2 (your slow, rational, goal-focused brain) influence your drinking choices. This science-backed framework explains why your default drinking habits feel so hard to break and why it's absolutely possible to rewire your brain to make intentional, value-aligned decisions.Whether you're navigating more alcohol-free days this October or simply trying to understand why it's so hard to say no sometimes, this episode offers practical insight and compassionate encouragement.Key Topics CoveredWhy identity and habit formation go hand-in-hand with your drinking storyThe difference between your default (automatic) self and your intentional selfHow Kahneman's System 1 and System 2 thinking applies to alcohol habitsWhy the brain resists effortful thinking and defaults to the familiarHow to start training your intentional self to become your new defaultResources MentionedBook: Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel KahnemanJoin More Sober October with Molly: More Sober October InfoLow risk drinking guidelines from the NIAAA:Healthy men under 65:No more than 4 drinks in one day and no more than 14 drinks per week.Healthy women (all ages) and healthy men 65 and older:No more than 3 drinks in one day and no more than 7 drinks per week.One drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor. So remember that a mixed drink or full glass of wine are probably more than one drink.Abstinence from alcoholAbstinence from alcohol is the best choice for people who take medication(s) that interact with alcohol, have health conditions that could be exacerbated by alcohol (e.g. liver disease), are pregnant or may become pregnant or have had a problem with alcohol or another substance in the past.Benefits of “low-risk” drinkingFollowing these guidelines reduces the risk of health problems such as cancer, liver disease, reduced immunity, ulcers, sleep problems, complications of existing conditions, and more. It also reduces the risk of depression, social problems, and difficulties at school or work. ★ Support this podcast ★

When public systems like health care, mental health services, and schools begin to disappear, people lose more than access—they can lose hope, and sometimes even their lives. Today, Camerino Salazar shares what he has learned from decades of research into why more Texans are dying from things like suicide, drug overdoses, and alcohol. What does it really mean when entire communities get left behind? Why are some policies leading to higher death rates in certain Texas populations? How does this affect people in rural areas, especially when hospitals close? Key Questions Answered What is killing Texans and what are the leading causes discussed? How do policy decisions affect health outcomes in Texas? What is the role of an evaluator in organizations like The Rose? Who are the populations most affected by rising deaths of despair in Texas? How does legislation regarding healthcare and hospitals impact rural communities? Why would certain communities support policies that might ultimately harm their own health interests? How is life expectancy in Texas trending compared to other states? What myths exist about Texas’ uninsured and Medicaid? How do the restrictions on preventive services and reproductive healthcare impact women’s health in Texas? What can regular people do to address these issues?

Alcohol is under pressure—from shifting consumption trends and rising health concerns to a loss of marketing relevance. In today's Episode, RBC Capital Markets analyst Nik Modi joins Duane Stanford (Beverage Digest Editor & Publisher) and John Sicher (Industry Expert, Consultant) to unpack the causes behind the persistent sales decline across beer, wine, and spirits. Are the problems cyclical (the economy) or structural (people are simply drinking less)? What lessons can alcohol brands learn from soda's decline and reckoning? What does this mean for companies like Coke and PepsiCo and their bottlers, which are looking for growth in the alcoholic beverage sector. And how will functional beverages, occasion-based marketing, and cross-category consolidation fit into the future? Modi makes a bold prediction on the latter.Text us thoughts, questions, or topic suggestions.

What if the very thing you swore you'd never do became your biggest crutch? Gavin spent his childhood hating alcohol, watching it tear his family apart and promising he'd never touch it. But by his teens, he was drinking until sunrise, following the exact patterns he'd despised. Years later, married and successful, Gavin realized his wife deserved better—not because she complained, but because he knew deep down he wasn't showing up as his best self. When he began questioning how quitting drinking can improve a relationship, everything shifted. Through This Naked Mind, Gavin discovered he'd built an entire personality around alcohol, hiding his true introverted nature behind the need to be the "life of the party." In this episode, Gavin joins Annie to share how breaking generational drinking patterns allowed him to become the husband he always wanted to be. In this episode, Coach Cole and Gavin discuss: Growing up in a family where generational drinking was normalized Hating alcohol as a child but following the same patterns as a teen Building a people-pleasing personality that only existed with alcohol Discovering he was actually an introvert hiding behind drinking The moment he asked himself if he was being the best husband he could be How quitting drinking can improve a relationship and marriage Using 75 Hard as motivation to try sobriety How This Naked Mind equipped him with knowledge, not just conviction Wrestling with the question "What place does alcohol have in my life?" Learning that alcohol was contributing nothing positive The difference between feeling convicted and feeling equipped to change How supportive spouses can help without criticism or nagging Breaking family patterns to show up authentically in marriage And other topics… Episode links:Related Episodes: Breaking Family Alcohol Patterns - Janine's Naked Life - E 701 - https://thisnakedmind.com/ep-701-naked-life-story-janine-m/ Quitting Alcohol with 75 Hard- Michelle's Naked Life - E 671 - https://thisnakedmind.com/ep-671-naked-life-story-michelle-s/ Alcohol's Impact on Relationships- Coaching Questions - E 775 - https://thisnakedmind.com/the-missing-piece-with-paul-stacey-martino-e775/ Ready to take the next step on your journey?  Visit https://learn.thisnakedmind.com/podcast-resources for free resources, programs, and more.

Since about 2022, the UK has seen a noticeable shift in how people drink: health, moderation, and mindful consumption have become central to social life and hospitality. Low‐ and no‐alcohol drinks are being embraced more than ever; many consumers are “zebra striping”—alternating alcoholic and alcohol‐free drinks—and some are cutting alcohol out entirely. In this episode, we explore one bold restaurant in England that is leaning into this change: instead of a wine list, they offer a curated water bar, complete with still and sparkling options, mineral waters from different regions, and pairings designed to accentuate the food, not overpower it.This Week's Featured Hashtag#SongsAndBandsForDogsOther Interesting ThingsLa Pepote RestaurantGallup Poll on the Decrease in Consumption of Alcohol in America Send a text to The Ebone Zone!

Today's guest is the wonderful Ann Dowsett Johnston who many of you will have heard of – she is a pioneer of the modern recovery movement and published her book "Drink" back in 2013 – which makes it one of the very first QuitLit books In this episode:- Ann's book Drink has been out for more than a decade and is still selling well – her TED talk has had 1.5m views  I did a previous interview with Ann a couple of years ago that you can listen to here.  The prologue to the book describes alcohol's seductive charm…and eventual harm I love this analogy and here at Tribe Sober we suggest that our members write a "Goodbye Letter" to alcohol as it evolves from a handsome stranger to an abusive lover Ann predicted the dramatic rise in risky drinking for women, which has sadly come true over the last decade There is an epidemic of female drinking, especially among younger women, with serious health consequences – we are even seeing young women presenting with liver disease The alcohol industry has been targeting women for the last couple of decades – using the tobacco marketing playbook  and they've been stunningly successful Many of us believed that we couldn't have fun or relax or cope with stress without alcohol – and it certainly takes a few months to deprogram our thinking, to overturn those limiting belief Ann is from Canada so had first hand experience of the public backlash that the low drinking guidelines (two drinks a week) caused! The reduction in drinking guidelines came as new research was published linking alcohol to cancer and many other health conditions Ann and I both love the modern recovery movement and the many different recovery pathways – I often say that if you want to give up drinking you need to find your people – if you think that Tribe Sober might be your community then click here Ann mentioned the three levers for change: price, marketing reduction, and availability, but government action is slow and Big Alcohol will continue to use its lobbying power So as individuals we must actively seek out the knowledge – we need to educate ourselves about the harm that alcohol can do to our brains and our bodies Knowledge is power and the more we understand about alcohol the less we'll feel like drinking it Even if we decide to drink it should be an informed decision, we need to understand the risks Ann talked about her "Writing Your Recovery" courses which offers support and tools for memoir writing. Its a powerful 8-week online memoir-writing course. Go to her website annsdowsettjohnston.com for more info  Ann will also be facilitating a South African writing retreat during week commencing 25th November – more info on that HERE Ann now has more than 15 years of sobriety and spoke of the many benefits she has experienced She returned to school at 64 to become a psychotherapist, specializing in women's substance issues and trauma She has a wonderful relationship with her grandchild Ann strongly believes that once we walk away from alcohol remarkable things will happen – the universe has a plan for us – she is awakened to wonder as she puts it She's built a rich and an alcohol free life that she loves, a life she definitely doesn't want to escape from!

Text and Be HeardChange starts the moment someone you trust looks you in the eye and says, you can't keep living this way—and we choose to listen. We take Step One out of the narrow box of “just stop” and turn it into a practical, courageous shift toward honesty, structure, and community. That means pausing the behavior long enough to think clearly, building simple routines that keep you safe, and choosing mentors who guide you past willpower into real momentum.We unpack, why a 72-hour detox window creates space for truth, how to use an emotional warm-up before deep work, and why a scorecard turns vague intentions into visible progress. We talk about the roots of the 12 steps, how psychology has evolved, and how modern recovery must address trauma, family patterns, and the everyday inputs that quietly drive relapse. Alcohol, gambling, and drugs are obvious hazards, but so are the “normal” poisons—fast food, phone scrolling, and the ads that celebrate escapism. Curating your attention, your circle, and your habits becomes a daily act of self-respect.You'll hear a simple blueprint: stop lying, ask for help, write down what you want, and set a schedule that protects your energy. Bring in a recovery coach, a career mentor, a financial guide, and a spiritual advisor to widen your capacity. Use small wins—movement, sleep, clean meals, outreach, uplifting content—to rebuild trust with yourself. If you've wasted years in addiction and more time trying to do it alone, this is your moment to rewrite the pattern with clarity and support.If this resonates, subscribe, share with someone who needs it, and leave a review so others can find the show.

Send us a textWhat if the most radical form of freedom is simply waking up clear—and staying that way? Corey opens up about life on both sides of the bottle and what changed when he traded chaos for consistency: mornings that don't start in shame, a mind that doesn't spin stories, and relationships built on truth instead of excuses. It's a candid walk through the quiet wins that stack into a different life: reliability, emotional balance, and the kind of peace you can feel in your chest.We dig into how trust is earned back one action at a time and why predictability—once dismissed as boring—turns out to be a gift. Corey breaks down the physical reset of sobriety, from real sleep to steady energy, and how that stability unlocks self-worth that isn't tied to performance. We talk amends as responsibility, not a shortcut to forgiveness, and how consistency rewires identity. There's purpose here too: service to newcomers, reaching back with a steady hand, and rediscovering creativity that addiction numbed. Financial stability shows up as part of the change—paying bills, saving a bit, planning ahead—because peace also lives in the practical.By the end, gratitude has a new shape: not denial of pain, but a clear-eyed reframing that turns survival into living. If you're curious about the real benefits of recovery—clarity, honesty, purpose, emotional regulation, financial stability, creativity, and peace of mind—this conversation offers a map grounded in experience, not clichés. Listen, reflect, and share it with someone who needs to hear that freedom doesn't have to be loud to last.

Is your smartwatch just a fun gadget, or a serious medical device?  In this episode, Jonathan Wolf is joined by Dr. Malcolm Findlay, a leading consultant cardiologist, to explore the powerful health data available on your wrist. They decode the most misunderstood metric, Heart Rate Variability (HRV), and reveal how your wearable can provide clinical-grade insights into your heart's health. Dr. Findlay explains the counter-intuitive science behind HRV — why more ‘wobble' in your heartbeat is a sign of good health — and breaks down the two opposing nervous systems that control it. He shares the latest on how these devices can accurately detect serious conditions like atrial fibrillation and why he, as a cardiologist, trusts the ECG function on a consumer smartwatch to make diagnoses. For listeners who track their own data, this episode is a practical guide to what your numbers actually mean. Dr. Findlay explains how to interpret your personal HRV trends, what constitutes a significant change, and when you should use the ECG feature. He also debunks common myths about heart rate zones, revealing the level of exercise intensity that truly benefits your long-term health. The episode concludes with an empowering look at how this technology is shifting control into our own hands. Can a simple alert from your watch really help prevent a catastrophic event like a stroke? Discover which metrics matter most and how to use them to guide your wellness journey.
