I know first-hand the effects of how drinking and not drinking can do to your body. In fact, I used to be a big partier in my early 40s. But I have not had a drop of alcohol in over 8 years. And that is not because of an addiction. It is because I saw what it was doing to my body, health, and testosterone levels.

NOW I know first-hand how incredible it is NOT to have alcohol in my system and its effects on my health. For me, it actually started with a DRY January challenge. You may be asking: “Dry January? What the hell is that?.” Dry January started in 2013, and more than 4,300 people pledged not to drink alcohol for the month. And yes, “dry” means abstaining from alcohol for a month—no cheat days. In 2017, that number spiked to more than 5 million worldwide, and today it’s grown exponentially. 

Dry January participants claim that giving up drinking for one month can reverse the negative health impacts of regular drinking, like fatty liver disease and elevated blood sugar. They also champion that not drinking can improve sleep and enhance energy.In this episode, we will talk about how alcohol affects your testosterone levels and your weight loss journey. Hopefully you’ll learn a lot here.  

“If you drink a lot of beer, and you stop drinking that beer, I’m telling you –  In 60 days, not only you are gonna feel better, but you are gonna look better and you are just gonna feel like a man.” —Funk Roberts
