Ep. 271: How Alcohol Affects Your Brain, Body + Mood (And What Happens When You Stop Drinking)

If you’ve ever found yourself googling “why can’t I sleep after drinking?” or “is alcohol making my anxiety worse?”—you are not alone. So many of us are walking around exhausted, stressed, wired but tired, and wondering what the hell is wrong with us… without realizing that alcohol might be the culprit.

In this episode, I’m talking with Gill Tietz—biochemist, sobriety educator, and host of the Sober Powered Podcast—about how alcohol actually affects your body and brain, why it’s so hard to stop drinking even when you want to, and what changes when you finally do.

I asked Gill to break down the science behind alcohol and addiction in a way that’s clear, empowering, and full of “ohhh… that makes so much sense” moments. She shares how drinking impacts your anxiety, weight, mood, sleep, motivation, and energy—and what your body goes through in early sobriety as it tries to recover and rebalance.
