As the new year approaches, a lot of us naturally start thinking about our health. And while weight loss tends to dominate that conversation, my work—and this podcast—has always been about gaining health, not shrinking bodies.
In that spirit, today’s episode is about alcohol, sober curiosity, and Dry January, and why taking a break from drinking, even temporarily, can be one of the most impactful things you can do for your overall health and wellbeing.
I’m currently about 15 months sober, but that didn’t happen overnight. In this episode, I share my sober-curious journey from a “failed” Dry January a couple of years ago to where I am now (and why that first attempt mattered more than I realized at the time!)
This conversation is not about perfection, detoxing, or deciding on anything forever. It’s about curiosity, data, and self-trust. If you ever find yourself curious about what life (and your health!) could look and feel like with a little less alcohol, tune in to hear my story and journey to sobriety via curiosity, ensure you know what the science says and research on alcohol consumption and its link to cancer / disease risk, and consider whether you too might want to try out drinking less (temporarily or permanently) when January comes!
