Even ‘Moderate’ Drinking Can Be Damaging — The Incredible Benefits of Going Alcohol-Free with Andy Ramage

from The Health Review

Did you know it can take your body several days to fully recover from just one or two drinks?In this episode of The Health Review, host Emily Rose Adams sits down with Andy Ramage, co-founder of OneYearNoBeer, creator of the Dryy app, and one of the world’s leading alcohol-free performance coaches.Andy — often called the Godfather of the alcohol-free movement — stopped drinking 12 years ago and has helped hundreds of thousands of people transform their relationship with drinking. He says most of us fall into what he calls the “middle lane” — we don’t see ourselves as having a problem, but we drink just enough for it to quietly hold us back. They might only have a glass of wine a few nights a week or a couple of drinks at the weekend. But what many don’t realise is how even that small, regular intake can subtly affect everyday life — from mental clarity and work performance to motivation, mood, and confidence. It can dull your energy to try new things, meet new people, or set meaningful goals for the future. Over time, those small habits can quietly chip away at your potential without you even noticing.Emily and Andy unpack the science and psychology of alcohol-free living, and how taking a 30-day break can transform your energy, focus, sleep, and purpose. This is a conversation about mindset, performance, and the courage to redefine what “normal” looks like — and it just might change the way you think about alcohol forever.Andy's website: https://andyramage.com/Watch Andy's alcohol-free documentary trailer here: https://andyramage.com/documentary/Follow The Health Review: https://www.instagram.com/the.health.review/ Hosted on Acast.
