Hey my beautiful friends,

In this episode, I'm diving deep into the sobering new advisory from the Surgeon General about the direct link between alcohol consumption and preventable cancer. The statistics are alarming - over 70,000 cancer cases worldwide were attributed to alcohol in 2020 alone. And it's not just heavy drinking that puts us at risk. Even moderate consumption of 2-4 drinks per day can lead to over 200,000 cancer cases annually.

I know this news may feel overwhelming, but awareness is the first step towards taking back control of our health. That's why in this episode, I'm sharing:

- The scientific evidence on how alcohol acts as a carcinogen, disrupting our hormones, DNA, and causing oxidative stress
- Practical steps you can take to learn more about the alcohol-cancer link and make informed decisions
- My personal journey of overcoming chronic drinking and the importance of gut health
- Why support and community are crucial when making changes to long-held habits
- Guidance for addressing common concerns and misconceptions about quitting alcohol

This is a wake-up call we can't ignore. But I also want you to know that you don't have to face this alone. I'm here to walk alongside you, my dear sisters, and support you every step of the way.

If you're ready to take action, please don't hesitate to reach out to me at [email protected]. I would be honored to connect with you and help you navigate this journey.

Your health and wellbeing are worth fighting for. Let's do this together.

With love and determination,
Michelle
