Living Your Big Bold Life

On today’s episode we are talking about alcohol with scientist Gillian Tietz, host of the Sober Powered Podcast. We discuss the benefits of taking breaks from alcohol and how drinking less can dramatically improve our health. Gillian dives into the science of why we think alcohol improves our anxiety and sleep—which is really not the case. In her own life, she realized she was unable to have a healthy relationship with alcohol and needed to give it up all together. Gillian knows this isn’t the required path for everyone, but that it works for her. After giving up alcohol, she lost 22 pounds and improved her sleep, skin and anxiety. But most important, Gillian discovered that an alcohol-free life helped her like herself again and also find a peace that had eluded her before. Her bold decision to stop drinking has truly changed her life for the better. No matter what your relationship is with alcohol, you will walk away from this discussion with some powerful science and tips applicable to your unique health journey. The point of this episode is not to tell everyone to stop drinking…Gillian shares some valuable insights on the benefits of simply taking breaks from or reducing alcohol. She also explains how she realized she had to completely stop drinking. I’m honored to welcome Gillian, who candidly and wisely takes us on her health journey. We will all be the better for it.
