Welcome to Office Hours. This is our dedicated one-on-one space to go deeper, get clearer, and explore what truly moves the needle for your health. I'm Dr. Mark Hyman and each week we're going to pull back the curtain and share the insights, the research, the lessons that don't always make it into our conversations with guests.

Because at the end of the day, you are the CEO of your own health. And for many of you, your family's health too. And you might not feel it all the time, but you have far more power and agency than you realize. I'm glad you're here. What if just 30 days could completely change how you feel?

Your sleep, your focus, your energy, even your skin. Well, that's what thousands of people discover during dry January. Now, today I'm breaking down exactly what happens in your body when you give up alcohol for a month and why the benefits go far beyond your liver. We're going to take you through the process week by week and equip you with tools to help you get through the month alcohol free. Yeah, it's not as hard as it sounds, don't worry.
