Alcohol...and Anxiety with Maya Acosta

My guest today is Tribe Member and Health & Wellness Educator Maya Acosta who shares her own story as well as some inspiration and great advice!

In this episode:-

• • Maya grew up in a family which normalized alcohol consumption and this of course influenced her own drinking patterns.
    
    
  • She got married to a vascular surgeon which has given her a unique insight into the damage that can be done if we don’t look after ourselves – this was key to her changing her eating patterns
    
    
  • Maya invited me as a guest on her Healthy Lifestyle podcast to talk about the risks of drinking alcohol – this conversation caused her to question her own drinking patterns
    
    
  • She joined Tribe Sober in July 2022 and found the community support helpful in maintaining sobriety.
    
    
  • Although she’d had periods of sobriety she would eventually relapse but this time she it felt different and more sustainable
    
    
  • Maya is now heading for her second Soberversary and experiencing many benefits including better sleep, more energy, less anxiety and clarity of thought
    
    
  • Eliminating alcohol has reduced her stress levels and also minimized the hot flashes she was experiencing during menopause.
    
    
  • As a Health and Wellness Advocator Maya advocates lifestyle medicine, focusing on plant based diets and physical activity as well as avoiding risky substances such as alcohol
