Should I Quit Drinking? What Alcohol Does to Your Body, Brain, and Weight Loss | Ep. 46

from Better: Outside the Box Healthcare with Dr. Matt Kettman | Wellness, Longevity, Metabolism, Unconventional Family Doctor · host mketttman2

Dr. Matthew Kettman (Dr. Rock) breaks down the real medical impact of alcohol on your body—no judgment, just facts. Whether you're considering Dry January, or just want to understand why you feel terrible after weekend drinking, this episode covers everything from sleep quality and hormone disruption to weight loss sabotage and anxiety spikes. Learn why even moderate drinking tanks your testosterone, destroys REM sleep, raises cortisol, and keeps you from burning fat. Dr. Rock shares the hidden costs most people never connect to alcohol—like Monday morning anxiety, workout recovery issues, and why drinking hits so much harder after 40.  Whether you want to drink smarter with practical harm-reduction strategies or quit entirely, this episode gives you the medical knowledge to make informed decisions about your relationship with alcohol. Perfect timing for New Year's resolutions and post-holiday health resets.
