Think Thursday
Molly discusses the iterative mindset as a more effective approach to behavior change, particularly in reducing alcohol consumption. She explains that traditional goal-setting can lead to demotivation when failures occur, activating the brain's "habenula." Instead, the iterative mindset views change as a series of ongoing experiments and adjustments, focusing on progress over perfection. Research by Jason Moser shows that brain activity is higher during mistakes, leading to stronger neural connections and growth. Molly encourages embracing struggle as part of the process and fostering a compassionate environment for learning and growth. She invites listeners to join her Facebook group for support.
Molly Watts welcomes listeners to Think Thursday, focusing on neuroscience, brain health, and mindset.She builds on last week's topic about neuroplasticity and the brain's ability to change through belief and mindset.Molly introduces the concept of the iterative mindset, emphasizing small steps lead to big changes.The episode aims to help listeners who struggle with changing habits, particularly in the context of reducing alcohol consumption.Challenges of Traditional Goal-Setting
Molly discusses the limitations of traditional goal-setting, where perceived failures can lead to demotivation.She explains how some recovery programs require starting over after a slip-up, which can be demoralizing.The activation of the habenula, a brain region responsible for processing failure, is highlighted as a reason for motivation loss.Molly introduces the iterative mindset as an alternative approach, focusing on ongoing experiments and adjustments.Iterative Mindset and Progress Over Perfection
The iterative mindset shifts focus from perfection to progress, encouraging small, iterative changes.Molly encourages listeners to experiment with their goals, such as limiting drinks to two when going out, and then assessing and adjusting based on their experience.Each attempt is seen as an opportunity for growth rather than a failure, leading to lasting change.Research by Jason Moser and his team shows that brain activity is higher during mistakes, leading to stronger neural connections and brain growth.Neuroscience and Brain Growth
Molly explains that brain activity is more robust during mistakes, which can lead to stronger neural pathways and brain growth.The iterative mindset views mistakes as valuable feedback, leading to continuous improvement and effort.This approach aligns with the idea that struggle is essential for brain growth and learning.Embracing struggle as part of the process is crucial for long-term change and growth.Applying the Iterative Mindset to Alcohol Minimalism
Molly suggests applying the iterative mindset to the alcohol minimalist framework, focusing on experiments and adjustments.She provides a step-by-step process: experiment, assess, reflect, and iterate based on the results.The goal is to gather data and inform the next move, keeping the focus on the process rather than perfection.This approach keeps listeners engaged and motivated, avoiding the crushing feeling of failure.The Role of Environment and Self-Compassion
Molly emphasizes the importance of creating a supportive environment for self-compassion and curiosity.Mistakes are seen as learning opportunities rather than failures, fostering a safe space for growth.She invites listeners to join the Alcohol Minimalists Facebook group for community support and shared learning.Believing in the brain's ability to adapt and grow can lead to significant improvements in achievement and well-being.Challenge and Conclusion
Molly challenges listeners to pick a small area for change, such as drinking, exercise, or stress management, and apply the iterative mindset.She encourages focusing on the process, assessing progress, and making small adjustments based on what is learned.The key is to stay in effort and view each struggle as a sign of brain growth and progress.Molly concludes by reminding listeners that struggle is a path towards sustainable change and invites them to subscribe, share, and leave reviews for more resources. ★ Support this podcast ★ -

Think Thursday How Mindset Changes the Physical Brain
Understanding the Purpose of Think Thursday 0:00Molly Watts introduces Think Thursday, a new series from the Alcohol Minimalist Podcast, focused on neuroscience, behavior change, and mindset.The episodes will be short (10-12 minutes) and aim to deepen understanding of brain science.The goal is to help listeners build a peaceful relationship with alcohol by understanding brain function.Molly emphasizes the importance of understanding brain function to take positive actions and achieve behavior change.Introduction to Neuroplasticity 2:37Molly explains neuroplasticity, the brain's ability to reorganize itself and form new connections in response to experiences and thoughts.For years, it was believed that the brain stopped changing after adulthood, but recent research shows otherwise.The mindset plays a crucial role in how the brain rewires itself, influencing behavior change.Molly uses the example of a habit like drinking a glass of wine to illustrate how thoughts and beliefs shape brain structure.Impact of Mindset on Brain Structure 4:55Molly discusses how a growth mindset (believing in change) can create new neural pathways, while a fixed mindset (believing in unchangeability) can limit adaptability.The process of forming new neural connections is described as "neurons that fire together wire together."Consistently thinking and behaving in new ways can lead to physical changes in the brain, weakening old pathways and strengthening new ones.This process is called synaptic pruning, which optimizes the brain for reinforced behaviors.Practical Application of Neuroplasticity 7:43Molly emphasizes that changing one's mindset can change the brain, making it adaptable and dynamic.She advises shifting internal dialog to a growth mindset, replacing fixed mindset beliefs with positive, learning-focused thoughts.Small, consistent actions reinforce new thought patterns and build new neural pathways.Self-compassion is crucial, recognizing that setbacks are part of the learning process and using them as opportunities for growth.Challenge for Listeners 10:41Molly presents a practical challenge for listeners: to practice shifting one thought pattern and replace a fixed mindset belief with a growth mindset belief.She encourages listeners to identify a specific area where they feel stuck and work on reinforcing new beliefs with small actions.The goal is to start laying the foundation for new neural pathways and support sustainable change.Molly concludes by encouraging listeners to subscribe, share the episode, and explore more resources on the Alcohol Minimalist website. ★ Support this podcast ★ -
Welcome to the first Monday edition of the Alcohol Minimalist podcast!
This week I'm joined by Katie Garry from www.seekhealthtest.comSeek measures how alcohol impacts our health the same way we use fitness trackers to monitor things like our heart rate, glucose levels and menstrual cycle. Katie founded Seek with the belief that it should be easy and affordable for every woman to get information about how alcohol impacts her health and track how it changes over time. No surprise medical bills, no confusing lab reports, no struggling to fit in a doctor's appointment, and definitely no gaslighting. Just actionable insights, unique to our own bodies, on our own timelines.
Seek is the first at-home lab test that measures how alcohol impacts women's health. Backed by clinicians from Penn, Rutgers, Mount Sinai and UCLA Health, Seek's mission is to help women identify early indicators of alcohol-related disease before a diagnosis (and feel better along the way).

This week on the podcast I'm kicking off the summer content series with Monica Reinagel from the Change Academy Podcast.
Stop waiting for the “perfect time” to start working towards your goals – resolve to begin today.Remember that obstacles and challenges are part of life’s fabric, not temporary disruptions. Learn to progress despite them.Be aware of how often you prioritize others’ needs over your own goals and the impact this may have on your life’s trajectory.Commit to taking action, even if you’re unsure of the perfect first step. Action often leads to clarity.Be willing to tolerate the discomfort of developing new skills or habits, rather than avoiding it and deferring your progress.It’s important not to just visualize your end goal, but also the daily effort required to achieve it
This episode focuses on how we cheat ourselves out of the future we dream of because we don't understand how our actions today create that future. Listen in to these key points:To learn more about Change Academy Podcast, visit https://changeacademypodcast.com/

This week on the show I'm talking with Chris Whelan all about cannabis and his company, NamaCBD. Here all about how he's helping people understand the difference between CBD and the pyschoactive part of the plant, THC, and how to explore small doses to achieve different therapeutic effects. In his own words, this is how he describes his journey: "I spent my free time learning about the hemp (and cannabis) industry, speaking with experts, taking courses, reading everything I could get my hands on, and seeking out a product that would work for me. I sought something natural, clean, and effective. I began implementing hemp into my routine as I took on each new challenge life brought. Whether during the rollercoaster of my college career, the extreme soreness during my long hours of training, or late nights and high stress from my law school and legal career. Although the hemp products I incorporated into my daily routine assisted me in many ways, I was never fully satisfied. Whether it was a certain product's ingredients, the company's mission, or product offering, there was always something that wasn't right. So I created my own." Check out Nama CBD.

This week on the podcast I'm talking about mindset specifically as it applies to changing your drinking habits. I'm giving specific tips on how to uncover your thoughts and to determine if those thoughts are useful/helpful/true/necessary or kind in terms of helping you take the actions that you need to take to get the results that you want in your life. If the thoughts create negative feelings that have you wanting to avoid taking action, then those thoughts are not useful to us and we want to start recognizing that and actively choose to redirect our thinking. This is a practice. It's a buildable skillset...AND it's necessary to create sustainable change.

Low risk drinking guidelines from the NIAAA:
Healthy men under 65:
No more than 4 drinks in one day and no more than 14 drinks per week.
Healthy women (all ages) and healthy men 65 and older:
No more than 3 drinks in one day and no more than 7 drinks per week.One drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor. So remember that a mixed drink or full glass of wine are probably more than one drink.
