Drunk on a Lie: The Real Nature of Alcohol- William Porter

Saison 8 · Épisode 1

jeudi 22 janvier 2026 • Durée 01:07:12

This week we're joined by William Porter, author of Alcohol Explained, for a clear, no-nonsense look at why alcohol is so compelling, and why it can be so hard to moderate. We talk about alcohol's sedative effect, how the brain counteracts it (and why that can feel like anxiety later), why cravings aren't just "lack of willpower," and how alcohol disrupts sleep (including those familiar 3am wake-ups). We also unpack the myth of alcohol as a "truth drug," the link between drinking and low mood, and why many people find it easier to stop completely than to keep negotiating "rules" around drinking.

Episode highlights

Why alcohol is a sedative (and why it can still seem "stimulating")
The brain's rebound effect: relaxation → anxiety as alcohol wears off
How craving builds as a learned loop (not a moral failing)
Why some people don't drink in the morning—even though it would "work"
Alcohol and sleep disruption (REM, tiredness, 2–4am wake-ups)
The "truth drug" myth and emotional dysregulation
Drinking, depression & anxiety: why the relationship goes both ways
Why quitting can feel like freedom, not discipline
A practical tool: "play it forward" (what happens after the first drink)

The lifestyle tweaks that gave me a biological age of 20 - at 61!

Saison 7 · Épisode 8

mercredi 30 juillet 2025 • Durée 01:15:21

When Mail journalist Sandra Parsons suffered a serious back injury in her mid-40s, she knew something had to change. Years of smoking, drinking, and late-night takeaways at her desk had taken their toll—she was in constant pain and felt, quite simply, old.

Determined to heal her body, Sandra began exploring the science of ageing—and was amazed by what she discovered: that ageing is increasingly seen not as an inevitability, but as a treatable condition. By tackling its root causes, it's possible to turn back the biological clock and dramatically extend your health span.

Drawing on cutting-edge medical research and advice from the world's leading longevity experts, she developed a three-step plan focusing on how we eat, move, and rest. Designed to build sustainable long-term habits, the plan delivers noticeable results in just a few weeks. With health quizzes at each step, simple food swaps, and practical lifestyle tweaks, the book offers a realistic and empowering path to reversing years of damage—and feeling better than ever.

Now 61, Sandra recently took a biological age test—and it revealed she has the internal health markers of a 20-year-old. That's right: 61 on the outside, 20 on the inside. This book shares exactly how she achieved that transformation—and how you can too.

I keep quoting from her book because everything she uncovered aligns perfectly with what Sharon and I have learned. What I especially loved is her message that it's never too late, and that small, consistent changes can create massive results. We also really liked Sandra herself—kind, patient, and a true fountain of knowledge.

SandraParsons worked at The Times and edited T2 for 8 years, before becoming a columnist at the Daily Mail. She has now been the Daily Mail's Literary Editor for 15 years. She is also a qualified yoga instructor.

This is a must listen!!!
