This week on the podcast I'm diving into the health benefits of Dry January, by exploring some of the questions that you may not ask yourself regularly about alcohol. 1) Do you have any preexisting conditions that are exacerbated by drinking? This can include diabetes, liver disease, hypertension, epilepsy, and more.  2) Are you taking any medications that are less effective because of your alcohol consumption or that pose dangerous side effects when mixed with alcohol? This can include blood pressure medications, insulin, antibiotics, and various psychiatric medications.3) How does alcohol interfere with your ability to take care of your physical health? For example, is it affecting your skin, teeth, digestion, diet, or exercise habits?4) What is your cancer, Alzheimer's, and stroke risk? Have you or anyone else in your family been diagnosed with these types of conditions, which makes drinking more likely to negatively impact you?5) How is alcohol affecting your sleep? Do you find that you are waking frequently at night? Chronically tired in the morning? New to the podcast?

This week on the podcast I'm talking with Ken Middleton. Ken has coined the term "alcohol consciousness" and works to help people understand what alcohol is doing in their lives. Ken is the editor of a Medium Publication named AINYF, Alcohol is NOT Your Friend. It's a publication focused on science-based strategies to help individuals change their relationship with alcohol and create the best version of themselves.  Ken coined the term alcohol-consciousness to represent my belief that one should not have to hit rock bottom or have a "problem" with alcohol to quit drinking. Instead, it's something that people should consider to live a more holistic and healthy lifestyle. Ken is  finishing a book on the topic titled Bamboozled - How Alcohol Makes Fools of Us All. It's a book that is focused on individuals who wouldn't consider themselves alcoholics but could still live a much better life by giving it up.  We're talking all about mindful drinking and why it's possible to change your drinking habits even if you're not experiencing alcohol use disorder.  Buy Breaking the Bottle Legacy: How to Change Your Drinking Habits and Create A Peaceful Relationship with Alcohol on Amazon or most online retailers.  US Kindle US Paperback UK Kindle UK Paperback Apple Books Barnes & Noble Kobo Join my private FB group Alcohol Minimalists here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/changeyouralcoholhabit Has this podcast helped you?

January 16th-20th, 2023 Weight Loss Reboot Summit Why should you consider giving up alcohol? Dry January is a popular health trend. The idea is simple — give up alcohol for a month and reap the benefits. The goal of Dry January is to get people to see how much they drink and how it affects their lives. Many people find that by giving up alcohol for a month, they feel healthier, more energetic, and more productive at work. It's not just about giving up alcohol for a month — it's about making healthy lifestyle changes that will last long after January ends. Here are some of the health benefits you can expect from giving up alcohol: Better sleep: Alcohol disrupts sleep patterns because it stimulates the production of adrenaline and cortisol, two hormones that affect the brain chemical serotonin. Serotonin helps regulate sleep cycles, so when it's disrupted by drinking too much alcohol, it can make falling asleep more difficult. Less anxiety: Research shows that drinking too much alcohol can interfere with serotonin levels in your brain, which may be why people report feeling less anxious after giving up booze.

Dryuary (or Dry January) has become something of an annual tradition to many. I have nothing against abstaining for a month - in fact it can teach you a lot about your relationship with alcohol if you're open to the lessons - and if you just want to do the 31 days then carry on as before, that's totally your choice. But if you want more, if you want this to be a step on the ladder towards permanent change then I want to help you do that. In today's episode I offer why your thoughts about alcohol are going to make all the difference and offer three ways to ‘do' Dryuary in a way that will set you up for long-term success beyond the 31 days. I can help. Book a call with me here and change the way you drink for ever.

Dr. Jarid Pachter discusses whether quitting alcohol for just a single month (Dryuary) does anything beneficial for your health- and more importantly, are there bad side effects?! 

Today on the podcast I'm talking all about worry. I'm  talking about how it fits in the Results Cycle as an action and why our brains evolved to worry. I'll also show you why it's linked to your drinking habit and how we can work on changing our thoughts so that we reduce our worry and not turn to alcohol to feel less anxious.  I'm going to help you understand why worrying doesn't: Worry is defined as the act of thinking about problems or unpleasant things that might happen in a way that makes you feel unhappy and frightened. Most of us go along without ever learning to observe our thinking and we barely notice the thoughts we apply to circumstances in our lives. We just think, well, I worry a lot because I have a lot of worrisome things in my life. That's never the case. It's never the case to say, “Oh, well who wouldn't worry in this situation? It's the reasonable thing to do.” No. You have to understand that your mind is the creator of all of your worry.

Dispell myths and be clear about your own beliefs on alcohol. 3) Make sure children know that alcohol is especially dangerous for young people because their brains are not fully developed. 4) Be prepared to answer questions with facts and share your own experiences.  5) Use science and empower your kids to be curious. Let them know why the messages they hear about alcohol might be confusing and that you know they'll continue to educate themselves to make the best choices they can.  Join Proof Positive for January!

Happy New Year! As many people are partaking in Dryuary this month (not drinking in January), I am excited to share this episode of a first-person sobriety journey with Staci Pfeffer, a wife, mom of three and founder of Staci Pfeffer Interiors, warm, minimal design for the curated modern home. She is also my longtime bestie!Staci and I have known each other since the 6th grade and we have experienced many foundational aspects of life together, including our first sips of alcohol. In this episode she openly and bravely shares her story -- about why she started drinking, how she used wine to manage her anxiety, when she realized it had become unmanageable -- and then how she was able to quit. She's been sober for eight years.In the episode we have an honest chat about what disordered drinking can look like, and I promised to share some resources. Here and these are my fave books (and blog):Nothing Good Can Come From This Quit Like a WomanBlackoutThe Sober LushThe Sober Glow (Blog)Plus, Alcoholics Anonymous (AA)Here's to a most fabulous 2021!~MelanieMelanie Marconi is the founder & CEO of VIDA, which provides workspace, content and tailored services for entrepreneurs, families and organizations to help them create balance, find joy and excel in their personal and professional lives.

This week's featured artist is Sam Kelly. We came to learn of Sam and his design work through the labels he has down for CT's own Athletic Brewing Co. as well as being a member of the great team at Fair Folk. We caught up with Sam during Dryuary to talk about the success of the brand, how he created the logo and labels and his journey from ballplayer to designer and a few stops in between. A positive and student of the craft, Sam shares his adventures and experiences that helped him to land where he is today. He shares how his interview at Fairfolk ended up being a late night with a few pints in between, but we won't want to spoil the whole thing for you. A laid back and an introspective episode that perfectly ends Dryuary and gives great insight into his designs. Episode 144 goes live this Reggae Friday. Enjoy.

9-5 ers! We’re back, and honestly.. not better than ever- but our intentions for 2020 are HERE. We’re doing Dryuary, talk about our resolutions, and catch up because the holidays had us busy AF. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Nicci is a Charleston, SC yoga teacher. This month she is helping to teach a Dryuary yoga challenge, 28 to stay sober and to take 20 yoga classes at CPY in Charleston, SC in the month of February. We also discuss Nicci's recent accident and how her yoga practice has helped her in her physical recovery.  

It's 2019 and some listeners are opting to take a break from the booze for an annual Dry-uary. The Whiskey Women offer some delicious mocktail options for those who still want to sip something to bring in the new year.

So we took a bit of a break over the holidays and we have a lot to catch up on in this episode. We said goodbye to 2018 with the close of our 52 Weeks of BBQ series and a list of the top 10 barbecue joints in San Antonio. We also put together a list of the top 25 dishes of the year. And we are starting 2019 with the launch of 52 Weeks of Burgers. We’ll discuss all of this, plus why you should be cooking with liquid smoke instead of shunning it, our two-star review of Mrs. Kitchen, what to do with that air fryer you got for Christmas and why hate Dryuary and all food resolutions (well, most of them.)

In today's show; Justin, Lydia, and Maura discuss BBC Scotland reporting that more than a third of Scotch whiskies tested by a specialist are found to be fake, Buffalo Wild Wings getting a big makeover, and the oldest living World War II vet passing away at 112. He attributed his longevity to having a cigar everyday and an occasional whiskey. Then, we discuss "Dryuary" and the #sobernotboring movement. MacKenzie DeVito of No Bones Beach Club joins us to share how her vegan food truck has grown into restaurants in 3 major cities and tells us about their delicous mocktail options. Plus, Distiller Dain gives us his first Top 5 list of 2019!

I'm doing Dry January this year and dragging you all with me! For this week, at least! For this week’s episode (our last in the first season, btw!), I brought in seasoned spirits industry vet Selena Donovan, West Coast Grey Goose Brand Ambassador, who is also going dry this January. We spoke at the cozy cocktail den, Melrose Umbrella Co. in Hollywood about why we both decided to dry it out for this month...and we drank lots of delicious water!  The cocktail recipe this week is Selena's take on a lighter version of the Pornstar Martini with and without alcohol: Pornstar Martini Soda: 1.5oz Grey Goose La Vanille 1/2 can Passionfruit La Croix .5oz Lime   No ABV version: 1/2 can of Passionfruit La Croix .25oz Vanilla Simple Syrup .5oz Lime   In an ice-filled highball glass add all ingredients. Give it a good stir and enjoy!   Links: Selena Donovan's Instagram Grey Goose Vodka Dry January Melrose Umbrella Co.   Bit by a Fox Links: blog: http://bitbyafox.com instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bitbyafox/ facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BitByAFox/ twitter: https://twitter.com/bitbyafox   music: https://www.humanworldwide.com

Drying out for the month of January is a trend occurring in the United States. If you’re participating in Dryuary, then you’re probably feeling great. If you’re not, odds are you probably know someone that is, and are really irritated hearing them talk about it (We Understand). In this episode, Alana & Jack talk about where this trend came from, what the benefits are, and how to handle those that preach to you about why not drinking for a month is some kind of accomplishment.Find us on Instagram: @blackandyellowpodcastAlana J.
