Was it a boozy start to the New Year? What if you could gain more clarity, energy, and better health by giving up drinking? Imagine a day when alcohol no longer dominates our thoughts—at holidays, celebrations, or even a quiet night in front of the TV. Alcohol-free expert James Swanwick says a cultural shift is underway, with alcohol slowly losing its grip on our social and professional lives. Even moderate drinking can quietly sap sleep, focus, and long-term wellbeing—especially for high achievers. In this conversation, Swanwick explains the neuroscience of addiction, why going alcohol-free is gaining momentum, and how the stigma around teetotalism is fading. He predicts that within decades, alcohol could be viewed with the same disdain as cigarettes. ----- This podcast is supported by affiliate arrangements with a select number of companies.
