Is your motivation to change your drinking habits strongest  when you’re hungover…but less so when you’re actually drinking?
 
Most high performing perfectionists are capable of doing anything they set their mind to. Which is why the frustration that comes with feeling like you can’t control your drinking can quickly erode your self-confidence. 
 
Which causes you to beat yourself up even more…and get stuck in your head trying to figure out what the hell is wrong with you. Because how do you solve a problem if the problem is you?

This is the exact framework my high achieving professional clients follow to reduce their drinking by 80 percent so that alcohol can go back to being a pleasure instead of a problem.

Are you scared of waking up in ten years and finding  yourself in the exact same place…dealing with the exact same problems?
 
It’s so easy to get lost in the busy-ness of everyday life. Our routines are overwhelming and there’s no time to stop and consider if we even want whatever it is we think we’re working so hard to get.
 
And when your sole purpose is to just get through the day or week so you can land back on the couch with your favorite cocktail, life quickly loses its sense of meaning and purpose.

Are you finding it hard to move forward in life because of a significant loss or trauma you’ve experienced?
 
We can all agree there is no “right” way to recover from trauma, or an appropriate timeline for grief. But when you’re the one who’s suffering, it’s terrifying to feel frozen in time when life just keeps moving on for everyone else. 
 
But there’s no such thing as “stuck.” You are moving forward, even if it’s in the wrong direction. And your physical health can quickly deteriorate when you’re suffering from mental and emotional distress. Which can lead to a frustrating lack of support as most doctors don’t address the mind-body connection.

The impact that a single RRT session had on Kristin’s neurological symptoms
How rapid resolution therapy (RRT) works 
The science and efficacy of rapid resolution therapy (RRT)
 
Stay tuned until the end to hear Kristin do a mini RRT session where we uncover the REAL reason why I’m struggling to be consistent with my daily exercise routine. It’s an eye-opener!

Have you considered using naltrexone or other medications to curb your alcohol cravings?
 
As alcohol use disorder is technically a thinking problem, most of us are too afraid to discuss our symptoms with a doctor. We worry about being forced into a treatment program or denied medications due to our drinking.
 
And the more we try and fail to change on our own, the more shame and fear we feel…which increases your stress and perpetuates the cycle of overdrinking. 
 
It feels like there is a ticking time bomb threatening to ruin our health, marriage and family dynamics. The guilt is overwhelming. Yet we have no idea what to do.
 
You already know there is no magic pill. However, there are medications that can help. But how are you supposed to get it if you don’t have a doctor you can trust?
 
Dr. Joshua Lee, MD specializes in medication-assisted treatment of alcohol use disorder. He is passionate about making evidence-based treatments accessible to those seeking to drink less or achieve sobriety. He is the Chief Clinical Advisor at Oar Health, a telemedicine platform that provides convenient and private access to naltrexone for anyone suffering with alcohol use disorder. In this episode, you’ll learn:
How naltrexone effects the brain to reduce alcohol cravings
The difference between the Sinclair Method and other naltrexone therapies
Success rates for naltrexone…and what to expect if you decide to try it
How to access naltrexone without if you don’t want to see your family doctor or file for insurance

Are you worried about your ability to access high quality healthcare at a reasonable cost?
 
Most of us are distracted by the politics of healthcare. But while we’re arguing about the rising costs and who has access to what services, most of us have failed to notice that the healthcare system in which we grew up no longer exists. 
 
It’s almost impossible to be seen when we’re actually sick. Our doctors have no time to discuss complicated concerns. And then we’re blindsided by monthly premiums and out of pocket expenses. 
 
We know the system is broken. But what’s the alternative?
 
My guest today is Dr. Maryal Concepcion, a family medicine doctor who joined the mass exodus of burned out physicians refusing to provide substandard care in the insurance-based system. We’re doing a deep dive into the direct primary care (DPC) model that is revolutionizing the connection between doctors and their patients and providing high quality, comprehensive care at a fraction of the cost. In this episode, you’ll learn:
The difference between DPC and insurance-based business models
How the DPC model benefits families with small children and people   with severe chronic illnesses 
If you still need insurance when you have a DPC physician
How to find a DPC physician in your area

Do you worry about how much you drink? 
 
Health conscious, high achieving women who prioritize clean eating, exercise, anti-aging supplements and skin care routines tend to have a lot of anxiety when it comes to alcohol. 
 
You know drinking is a bad habit, yet giving up the reward at the end of a stressful day feels impossible. 
 
But instead of setting realistic goals to change, you beat yourself up for not being perfect…and secretly worry that you might have to quit drinking for good. Because you seem to lose control after one or two drinks.
 
When you compare yourself to your friends, you're less worried. But you don’t actually know how much they drink beyond social situations. And you’re afraid to ask. 
 
The criteria for alcohol use disorder has nothing to do with how much alcohol you drink. It’s a subjective assessment based on a single question: do you drink more than you think you should drink?
 
Which means you’re dealing with a thinking problem, not a drinking problem. 
 
In this episode you’ll learn:
The 5 mistakes that turn normal drinkers into overdrinkers
Why the solution to over-drinking is not abstinence
How to interrupt the thought patterns that make you crave alcohol
