Good afternoon, everyone. It's Dr. Niagara again, our next episode of Psychology Unplugged. Thank you for all of your comments, feedback, suggestions. It's been really fun connecting with people across the globe. And a lot of you guys are coming in from different parts of the country this week for Neurosicicubels. I will give you my contact information, as always, at the end of this episode.

But Julie and I are truly appreciative and never believe the podcast would reach as many people as it has.

Today, we're able to connect with a guest speaker on with a very relevant topic regarding alcohol and developing a healthier

relationship with alcohol. You could trace alcohol back into the Bible. Noah was a drunk

after got off the ark. Jesus may turn water into wine, so alcohol has its roots throughout history.

But Nick Allen has developed this incredible program for, I think, developing a healthier

relationship with alcohol.

So Nick, want you to introduce yourself and tell us about your program.

Yeah, absolutely.

I'm excited to be here, and thank you so much for having me.

So yes, I'm the founder and CEO of a company called Sunnyside, and our mission is to help

anyone who regularly drinks alcohol to just be more mindful and intentional about the role

that alcohol plays in their overall health and wellness.

And unlike a lot of the other kind of services out there in the market,

when you kind of look at the space for alcohol health, we're really focused on helping folks kind of achieve goals around moderation and mindfulness without the pressure to quit entirely.

Our philosophy is that, you know, much like we've learned to manage many other areas of our health

and wellness, like diet and

exercise and mindfulness, small changes that kind of stack up feel like a more effective

strategy for many who are seeking to make a change, but who aren't necessarily interested in

the sober lifestyle or in that huge leap of going from, you know, a kind of baseline towards absolute zero.

And so instead we really help folks.

We meet them where they are.
