In this episode of the Alcohol Minimalist Podcast, I'm joined by Mike Hardenbrook—author of No Willpower Required and host of the Journey to the Sunny Side podcast—for a conversation that's been a long time coming.Mike's story will resonate with anyone who's ever struggled with drinking more than they want to but never felt “out of control” enough to warrant a label. His approach to habit change is science-forward, rooted in neuroscience and behavioral psychology, and deeply aligned with our core belief at Alcohol Minimalist: you are not powerless.Together, we discuss:How Mike's drinking slowly crept into a habitual nightly loop—despite a successful life and healthy routines.Why the traditional “powerless” model of alcohol change never resonated with him—and why he decided to write a book for people like him.What it means to truly “rewire” your drinking habit and how Mike used curiosity, experimentation, and mindset shifts to get there.Our shared belief in empowering people through understanding their brains—and how that changes everything.The role of alcohol as a “light switch” for the brain, and why the reward loop gets so entrenched for daily drinkers.This is a real, down-to-earth conversation between two people who have both experienced the challenges of breaking a long-term drinking habit and emerged with a science-backed, compassionate way forward.If you've been trying to drink less but feel stuck, this episode is for you. And if the idea of change without willpower sounds too good to be true, give this a listen—you may find a new path forward.About Mike Hardenbrook: Mike is the author of No Willpower Required: A Neuroscience Approach to Change Your Habits with Alcohol and the host of the Journey to the Sunny Side podcast. He also works with the alcohol habit-change app Sunnyside, where he helps others build sustainable, science-based strategies to drink less.Resources & Links:Learn more about Mike and his book: www.hardenbrook.comCheck out the Sunnyside app: www.sunnyside.co/mollyGrab your copy of Breaking the Bottle Legacy: https://www.mollywatts.com/resourcesJoin the Alcohol Minimalist Facebook group!If you enjoyed this episode: Please take a moment to subscribe, rate, and review.

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 ★

On July 8th, in what can only be described as an act of reckless clarity, we published a white paper (grab it here—>) Unified Behavioral Model™ — Read more… listen now.Subscribe now“Science may be described as the art of systematic oversimplification.” ― Karl PopperWhat makes UBM so unique—so different from prevalent behavioral models?First, let's clear up a common misconception:UBM—specifically the Behavior Echo-System (BES)—is a model of behavior, not a model of a person.People often see the graphic and assume it represents themselves, or a diagram of the human body. It doesn't.As Dr. Popper's statement above suggests, UBM simply articulates how behavior is influenced in the moment and shaped over time—within the system.Now, here's the B.I.G. claim:UBM is falsifiable.In science, that's the gold standard.(Period.)If a theory can't be tested or broken, it's just storytelling. Worse yet, Karl Popper would say it's non-science.What's his core claim? Science and non-science are divided by a single demarcation: Falsifiability.UBM asks—check that, insists—“Go for it… Please try to break me.”Apparently, no other behavior model—certainly not a unified one—has ever done that.Kind of interesting? Maybe just a bit?Worth mentioning, at least?Or dedicating, I don't know… twenty-plus years to uncovering?UBM/BES Comparison Table & Major Prevalent Models as provided by DeepSeek.According to Dr. Karl Popper—and as noted in the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, “Karl Popper is generally regarded as one of the greatest philosophers of science of the twentieth century”—if a theory can't be tested (or broken), it's just storytelling. Worse, he'd call it “non-science.”Just to be clear: that's Dr. Popper, philosopher and trained psychologist, who introduced the idea of falsifiability (and gave us that delightful bit with the Black Swan).So yeah—if you can't at least attempt to break it, he says, it doesn't count.UBM is so confident in its falsifiability that it's offering a $1,000 reward to the first person to prove there's a missing fifth element—one that isn't reducible or emergent. (See below and bottom for official entry details.)So far: nearly 500 downloads and…Nada. Zip. Zilch. NOTHING.Even the world's top AIs—ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Grok, DeepSeek—took their shots.They've all struck out. Attempts include: Time (environmental), Consciousness (emergent from the system), Willpower (embodied environment), Self-Organization (embodied environment—note the “self” in self-organization).The list goes on, and it's kind of funny. Google's Gemini, for example, offered a “someday” quantum property we don't even know of yet.Seriously.Just to be clear: if we don't know of it yet, and we can't test it—it's not a valid fifth element.DeepSeek's parting words? Also comical...“UBM 1. DS 0... Game respects game.”And, here's Gemini's best response after half dozen attempts…Gemini tries desperately to break the Unified Behavior Model and fails.The difficulty in falsification, as intended by the model's design, is a powerful indicator of its conceptual strength and it's potential to serve as a TRULY UNIFYING FRAMEWORK FOR BEHAVIORAL SCIENCE. ~Gemini 8/4/2025Some have argued, “Well, UBM is overly simplified.”Really?Then why hasn't anyone discovered it before—or more accurately, uncovered it and brought it to light?Surely, by now—150 years in—some behavioral scientist, somewhere in the world, would've presented this kind of systematic “oversimplification,” right?Let's go over that one more time:“Science may be described as the art of systematic oversimplification.” ― Karl PopperThis is precisely Dr. Popper's point: science progresses by oversimplifying—systematically.Voila: UBM.

You have a thinking problem—and it's not your fault.   We'll show you: Why willpower works in short bursts but always fails long term How decision fatigue is silently sabotaging your food choices The surprising reason your most disciplined efforts are making you feel more out of control Why emotional needs—not food—are the real root of overeating And how changing your inner psychology creates lasting change without food rules or obsession   We're pulling back the curtain on the real drivers behind compulsive eating—like perfectionism, scarcity thinking, and deeply rooted beliefs around weight and worth—and showing you how to break the cycle for good.   If you're tired of being stuck in the binge-restrict loop, this episode will leave you feeling seen, validated, and most importantly—equipped with actionable insights you can use today.  

In this powerful episode of Love to Live Healthy, Josephine and Jake dive into the topic- WEIGHT LOSS ISN'T JUST ABOUT WILLPOWER! Learn how your environment can shape your habits more than you realize, letting go of what's comfortable, how things change as you age, etc. We explore the deep-rooted factors that affect your journey. Also, Jake shares the details of his brand-new meal plan that's changing his lifestyle for the best!  If you've ever felt stuck or frustrated, this episode will open your eyes and help you move forward with clarity and confidence.

More people than ever are turning to medicine for weight loss, but how do you know if it's right for you? In this episode, I dive into the hot topic of weight loss medications and tackle the myths, science, and facts behind them. As a board-certified obesity medicine specialist, I explain who qualifies for medications like Wegovy, Zepbound, and others, how they work, and why obesity is a chronic condition, not a personal failure. I will walk you through the medical, hormonal, and genetic factors that influence treatment, outline FDA guidelines, and share how I assess whether a patient is a good candidate. I also discuss common misconceptions, long-term use, and tips for having an informed conversation with your doctor. Because remember, It's not about shortcuts, it's about finding the right tools to improve your health and quality of life. Tune in to learn the truth about weight loss medications, debunk common myths, and find out if they're the right fit for your health journey.   Episode Highlights: Who qualifies for weight loss medications FDA-approved options Common myths debunked about weight loss drugs How GLP-1 medications work and their long-term role in obesity treatment Key factors doctors assess before prescribing Contraindications and who should not take these medications How to talk to your doctor about medical weight loss options Connect with Dr. Alicia Shelly: Website | drshellymd.com Facebook | www.facebook.com/drshellymd Instagram | @drshellymd Linked In | www.linkedin.com/in/drshellymd Twitter | @drshellymd About Dr. Alicia Shelly Dr. Alicia Shelly was raised in Atlanta, GA.

Text Our Show HostsTonight, we're talking about this Heat Wave that's got everyone overheated and sweating.But no worries, the power grid is running steading,… for now. But the Sun, doesn't give a damn about our thermostats, our comfort, or our fragile little climate-controlled lives.This is real. It's happening now, and it's hot as hell out there. We're talking about heat waves… nature's slow-burning death trap that creeps in quiet and before we know it… Heat Stroke.You think you're tough? I do… I'm tough, but Heat doesn't care. You think your preps are solid? Try three days of triple digits without power, no A/C, and a dwindling water supply. Your body starts shutting down. Your mind starts slipping. And if you're not hydrated, shaded, and ready to adapt, you're done.We need to be up to speed on Heat Waves, Heat Stroke, and proper Hydration.So, Let's get to it…My Prepper Brothers and Sisters…When the mercury rises to unbearably dangerous heights, it's easy to assume that the power will stay on, the water will keep flowing, and relief is just a thermostat away.As Preppers… We've made sure that we have what's needed to beat the heat. As Survivalists… We have the skills to think on our feet.Today's episode was nothing more than a reminder that even something as simple as heat can become a life-threatening force if we're not paying attention. We don't need high-tech gear or a bunker full of gadgets to beat the heat. What we do need is knowledge, discipline, and a little forward thinking… Ok… I'll admit, a backup generator and a few fans would be nice too.But… Hydration. Shade. Awareness. Forethought and Planning. Simple tools, but combined…? These are heavy hitters when you're in a Life or Death fight with the Sun.Support the show

Episode 329 Hey there!  One of the biggest things I share is what's helped me stay alcohol free—focusing on why I didn't want to drink more than why I did. That's not easy, but it's powerful.

You'll learn how tuning into your emotions, reconnecting with your sense of purpose, and embracing joy and human connection can unlock a path to lasting vitality. Expect practical tools, real talk, and a refreshing take on what it really means to heal — body and mind. Whether you're stuck in a cycle of stress or just feeling disconnected, this episode offers a roadmap back to yourself.

When we think about getting sober, most of the focus is on not drinking, but we don't think about what to start doing to actually rewire the brain and move forward. In this episode, I'll explain why white-knuckling doesn't work. You'll learn about why willpower is not the most important factor for staying sober, how being “strong” prevents us from getting support, and what you can do differently to make progress. It's not about convincing yourself of all the bad health effects of alcohol or powering through temptation, because if those things were effective long term strategies, then relapse rates wouldn't be so high. I will also discuss how taking on the label of an “alcoholic” is a barrier for many people that keeps us isolated and drinking.
