LIFE WITH MARIANNA - One Year without Alcohol

One Year without Alcohol: Understanding How Alcohol Affects Your Body and Well-Being with Dr. Will Cole Part 1

Marianna discusses her experience after omitting alcohol from her life for a year. From physical somatic changes to observations from social outings Marianna breaks down the surprising changes that have come from this choice.

Dr. Will Cole supplements the notes Marianna has from going alcohol free by breaking down the gut-brain connection.
