BITESIZE | The Surprising Truth About Alcohol | Andy Ramage #615

from Feel Better, Live More with Dr Rangan Chatterjee · host Dr Rangan Chatterjee: GP & Author

Over the past five years, it’s been incredible to see how the alcohol-free landscape has changed. Pubs, restaurants and supermarkets boast a range of appealing 0% options. We’re seeing a rise in alcohol-free communities, influencers, bars and events. There has been a marked cultural shift towards acceptance of not drinking – and that’s in no small part down to today’s guest. Today’s clip is from episode 438 of the podcast with performance coach and best-selling author, Andy Ramage.  Andy is the co-founder of the One Year No Beer movement, and since his first appearance on this podcast back in 2019, countless listeners have written in to share how they’ve transformed their lives by giving up, or changing their relationship with alcohol. In this clip, Andy shares why he believes that removing alcohol could help you become the most productive, present and healthiest version of yourself. He explains his ‘ambivalence seesaw’ – a framework you can use to work out your current relationship with alcohol and start to shift it. And he shares some valuable advice on coping with social pressure to drink. Andy is motivated, passionate and full of positivity, and someone who describes a life without alcohol as a gift to yourself. He’s not here to judge anyone else, simply to encourage you to try out the benefits - he has managed to transform his own health, happiness and relationships and wants to inspire you to do the same.
