How to Change Your Drinking Habits by Rewiring Your Emotional Brain

from Cheat Code Nutrition · host Elly Young

In today’s episode, I get real about the science behind lasting behavior change — and why the way you feel about alcohol matters more than how long you’ve been abstaining. This isn’t about white-knuckling it. It’s about rewiring your brain from the inside out with a powerful approach called Affective Liminal Psychology (aka ALP) — a method rooted in neuroplasticity, emotional intelligence, and subconscious belief rewiring.This is the same methodology behind This Naked Mind, and it’s what helped me go from a daily gray area drinker to 4+ years alcohol-free — not just abstinent, but actually free.If you’ve ever asked:“Why can’t I stick with it?”“Why do I keep going back, even when I know I want to stop?”“Is something wrong with me?”This episode is for you.You’ll learn:✅ Why we feel our way into most behaviors — and how to use that to your advantage✅ The 4-step Liminal Path to transformation: Perspective → Awareness → Transformation → Healing✅ The neuroscience behind beliefs, cravings, and why alcohol can feel like the only “off” switch — until it doesn’t✅ How to use the AIRE Method to rewire beliefs driving your drinking (or other habits)✅ Why this work doesn’t just stop at alcohol — it changes how you think, feel, and show up in every area of your life💬 I also shares a raw and relatable behind-the-scenes story of coaching, motherhood, and the exact tools she uses to help her clients heal for good.🔗 Mentioned in this episode:🎧 This Naked Mind Coach Certification — the methodology behind Ellie’s training🌀 Stop Drinking with Cycle Syncing — Ellie’s signature course designed to help women quit alcohol in a way that works with your hormones, not against them💥 Cycle Syncing Starter Kit — your free guide to syncing food, exercise, and self-care to your unique cycle🧠 Want to work with Ellie 1:1? Book a free clarity call🎯 Ready to go deeper?Ready to take your break from booze?
