Welcome to "Ditch the Lab Coat," the podcast where we break down complex medical topics with leading experts shaping the future of healthcare. In today's episode, we're diving into the nuanced and critical conversation surrounding Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) with our distinguished guest, Dr. Susan Rich. With a career spanning decades, Dr. Rich is a trailblazer in child and adolescent psychiatry and an ardent advocate for public health. She's here to shine a light on prenatal alcohol exposure's often overlooked impacts on brain development. Did you know that not only alcohol consumed during pregnancy but even prior to conception can lead to multigenerational health issues? Dr. Rich unpacks how prevalent this is, affecting 1 in 20 children, yet remains largely unrecognized. Throughout our discussion, we'll explore systemic challenges, the myths perpetuated by the alcoholic beverage industry, and most importantly, the critical steps we need to take for prevention and support. Whether you're a healthcare professional, a parent, or just intrigued by one of public health's hidden crises, this episode promises to be both enlightening and empowering. Get ready for a thought-provoking journey as we seek a healthier future for the generations to come.Key Takeaways :The Hidden Impact of Alcohol on Fetal Development Dr. Susan Rich explains that fetal alcohol spectrum disorder affects approximately 1 in 20 children (5% of the population), with far-reaching consequences beyond the commonly known physical characteristics.Early Pregnancy Vulnerability Critical developmental impacts occur as early as the third to fourth week post-conception, often before women know they're pregnant. About 13.5% of childbearing age women in America binge drink, and approximately 50% of pregnancies are unplanned.Beyond Traditional Understanding While medical education traditionally focused on severe cases with facial deformities and intellectual disabilities, Dr. Rich reveals that only 10-15% of affected children show these classic features. The majority have neurodevelopmental issues without obvious physical signs.Male Factor Contribution Alcohol consumption by men up to three months before conception can affect sperm quality through epigenetic modifications, potentially making the embryo more susceptible to alcohol exposure during pregnancy.Economic and Social Impact The alcohol industry generates approximately $220 billion annually, while the cost of caring for just those with full fetal alcohol syndrome (not including the entire spectrum) was estimated at $5.4 billion as of 2003 data.Prevention and Treatment Approaches Dr. Rich advocates for better public health messaging, comprehensive support systems for affected children, and the need for healthcare providers to better understand and recognize the full spectrum of alcohol-related developmental disorders.03:14 - Alcohol's multigenerational impact explained.08:27 - Alcohol's epigenetic effects on offspring.13:17 - Unplanned pregnancies and fetal alcohol syndrome.15:33 - Neural crest and facial development.19:18 - Fetal alcohol, nutrition, and growth.23:04 - Dr. Kathleen Sulick's contributions.25:26 - Alcohol's impact on family events.28:38 - Alcohol's cultural role and societal effects.30:57 - Alcohol's toxicity and informed consent.34:05 - Liquor profits and education funding.37:35 - Rethinking alcohol's role in society.42:56 - Global epidemic: Fetal alcohol impact.45:05 - Supporting neurodivergent youth transitions.47:50 - Taxing alcohol to aid impoverished children.51:01 - Alcohol's Hidden Health Impacts.54:12 - Rethinking alcohol's impact on children.DISCLAMER >>>>>>    The Ditch Lab Coat podcast serves solely for general informational purposes and does not serve as a substitute for professional medical services such as medicine or nursing.

In today's podcast, I will be revealing the dark truth about the alcohol industry... We'll be breaking down how they weaponize language to make you drink more, how they cover up cancer statistics, how they target our kids to start drinking early, and how they legally hide ingredients lists.

We have long heard the claims that a glass of red wine is good for your heart, but it turns out that the research that fueled this wisdom was actually skewed. Some studies made it appear like moderate drinkers were healthier than people who didn't drink at all, leading the public to believe that alcohol was healthier than it is. While drinking alcohol occasionally might not have catastrophic effects on your health, the data shows that even moderate drinking will reduce your life expectancy.In this episode, we speak with Tim Stockwell, a scientist at the Canadian Institute for Substance Use Research and a professor of psychology at the University of Victoria. Stockwell has reviewed hundreds of studies that he claims embellished alcohol's effects, and he explains how the new science of drinking is changing the public perception of alcohol. Today, trends like sober-curiosity and “Dry January” are on the rise, and some countries around the world are even implementing new policies around alcohol regulation.

In this episode, the hosts discuss the Texas Sharpshooter Fallacy, which is when outcomes are analyzed out of context, giving the illusion of causation rather than attributing the outcome to chance. They provide examples of this fallacy, such as the alcohol industry pushing back on labels that state alcohol causes cancer. They also touch on the narcissist's prayer, which is a chain of denial used to avoid responsibility. The hosts mention the connection between this fallacy and confirmation bias, as people tend to seek out information that supports their existing narrative. They also hint at the role of conspiracy-minded thinking in this fallacy. The conversation explores the concept of the Texas Sharpshooter Fallacy and its application in various contexts. It begins with a discussion on Venn diagrams and the history of their invention by John Venn. The hosts then delve into the Texas Sharpshooter Fallacy, which involves drawing conclusions based on selective data. They provide examples of how this fallacy is used in various fields, including stock market analysis and conspiracy theories. The conversation concludes with a tribute to Charles Mattson Love, an expert on Easter Island, who appeared on the show Ancient Aliens.

For the first time in history, women are binge drinking more than men. To find out why, Liz speaks with Annie Grace, author of The Alcohol Experiment and This Naked Mind, two bestselling books that provide tools to help people take an unbiased look at their relationship with alcohol and addiction. Annie explains how the alcohol industry has pivoted from targeting men to women, pitching alcohol as “mommy's little helper” to escape from the stress of motherhood. Annie and Liz also discuss their own personal relationships to alcohol and talk about how our society could better support moms when it comes to their relationship to drinking and their wellbeing.

Constellation Brands, which owns several spirit companies including Robert Mondavi here in the Bay Area, is trying to turn things around.For more on this, KCBS Radio news anchor Holly Quan spoke to Bloomberg's Tiffany Kary in today's Tech and Business Report.

“When we think about our community, we don't feel alone at all. We look at all of our farmers, all of these amazing other CPG brands, we are becoming a loud minority that is shaking and moving the system.” —Maddy Rotman   “Be a little bit more curious when you're out there shopping for alcoholic products. Gravitate towards the brands that fully disclose everything.” —Taylor Lanzet   As the world of spirits embraces regenerative organic farming, a new era of eco-conscious consumption is taking root. By adopting practices that mimic nature's restorative cycles, distillers are not only crafting exceptional spirits but also nurturing a more sustainable and equitable future for the industry.

Calling all thinkers and social drinkers!  Prepare to reassess your beliefs, confront societal norms, and redefine your relationship with alcohol. My guest, Molly Watts, and I take the lid off the alcohol industry, revealing the disturbing lack of health benefits associated with any level of drinking. Be prepared for a deep dive into the psychological aspects of alcohol consumption and the myths surrounding it that often go unchallenged. In this episode, we dissect the complex relationship between alcohol and anxiety. We shed light on how alcohol disrupts our brain's homeostasis and potentially induces anxiety in the middle of the night.  Through our conversation, we aim to equip you with crucial insights about habitual drinking, the importance of good sleep hygiene, and the implications of heavy drinking. Here's where you'll learn how to address the anxiety that comes with tackling your drinking habits, and why it's essential to confront it head-on. Finally, we emphasize the importance of a conscious plan for alcohol consumption. Together, Molly and I dive into strategies to manage your alcohol intake, addressing fears of missing out and emphasizing the role of self-care.  We also explore into Molly's program, ‘Making Peace with Alcohol,' which provides group coaching, coursework, and a supportive community. So, join us as we unravel the complexities of alcohol consumption and offer tangible strategies for healthier habits.  Trust me, you won't want to miss this enlightening exchange. Chapter Summaries: Challenging Beliefs and Habits (0:00:17)  Molly and I discuss questioning beliefs, normalizing alcohol use, and language's influence on thoughts and opinions. Exploring Alcohol Consumption and Its Impact (0:17:03)  We examine the prevalence of misinformation, low-risk limits, and the need for alcohol-free days to form a healthy relationship with alcohol. Anxiety and Alcohol (0:32:38)  Molly and I discuss alcohol's neurochemistry, its relationship to anxiety, its effects on homeostasis, and the anxiety of addressing drinking habits. Managing Alcohol Consumption (0:40:39)  Molly and I discussed alcohol consumption, self-care, neurochemistry, and FOMO. Alcohol Intake Control and Support (0:48:34)  Molly Watts and I discuss creating a conscious plan for alcohol consumption, her program Making Peace with Alcohol, and its group coaching, coursework, and community. About Molly Watts: Molly Watts is an author, podcaster, and life coach who helps daily habit drinkers change their drinking to create a peaceful relationship with alcohol.   As an adult child of an alcoholic, Molly developed a decades-long daily drinking habit that defied logic and caused endless anxiety. Worrying about alcohol, first with her mother and then as her own drinking habit seemed "unbreakable",  was exhausting.   Using science as her guide, Molly transformed her drinking and became what she now calls an alcohol minimalist. Most importantly, she is completely at peace with alcohol and helps other people do the same.  "Alcohol disrupts sleep patterns, compounding insomnia and disrupting sleep cycles, especially for women in menopause." - Elizabeth Sherman  Get full show notes and more information here: https://elizabethsherman.com/podcast/148

The alcohol industry currently makes 1.8 trillion dollars annually and is projected to hit around 2.3 trillion by 2025. What most people think is that much of this alcohol is purchased by individuals who would be labeled as an alcoholic or someone with a problem.  What most don't realize, however, is that this group is only a very small percentage (less than 2%) of the world population. Also, it's this very thinking that protects the alcohol industry's profit and prevents people from looking at the one thing that could put it at risk - their casual “normal” drinking. Ken Makimsy Middleton is the founder of AINYF (Alcohol is NOT Your Friend), a Medium publication, dedicated to sharing science-based information to help individuals quit alcohol and begin building the very best version of themselves. He is also the author of the upcoming book, Bamboozled - How Alcohol Makes Fool of Us All: The Guide to Getting EVERYTHING You Want in Life By Giving Up Alcohol, which exposes the ways alcohol holds us back from achieving our goals and gives a playbook on how to not only give it up, but also how to create a thriving life of holistic wellness.        3 top tips for my audience: 1. Educate yourself on what alcohol does to you physiologically and mentally. 2. Create a goal for your future self to accomplish that is SO BIG, you couldn't allow alcohol to be in your life to achieve it.  3. Never…ever…give up - every mistake is a lesson that will get you closer to the correct formula for you and ultimate success.  Social media and contact info.
