Silvia Subirana

Silvia Subirana joined Dr. John M. Torrens on The Total Entrepreneur for one episode on mind.

What Silvia talked about

Silvia Subirana discussed changing one's relationship with alcohol, arguing that moderation is a valid goal alongside abstinence and doesn't require an all-or-nothing approach. She addressed the idea that tolerance changes how alcohol's effects are felt but not the underlying physiological harm, arguing no amount of alcohol is truly safe while stressing she does not judge people's personal choices around drinking.

She talked about alcohol's impact on sleep, describing how it acts as a depressant that the body compensates for overnight, producing anxiety and poor rest even when someone feels like they slept heavily. She also spoke about practical tactics for cutting back socially, including using mocktails and keeping explanations for not drinking brief to avoid inviting questions or pushback.
