Dr. Maureen's Take: Alcohol's Hidden Impact on Health

It's dangerous and it has a really deleterious effect on multiple systems. You can also have hallucinations and psychosis and other things related to how it affects the brain if we include mental health in there, which we should.
Ever wondered how alcohol really affects your body? In this episode of 'The Bubble Hour', host Jean McCarthy chats with Dr. Maureen, a diagnostic radiologist who sees the devastating effects of alcohol up close. Dr. Maureen, who is also in recovery, offers a unique blend of professional insight and personal compassion. She breaks down the harsh realities of alcohol-related liver disease and cancer, making it clear why we need to rethink our casual attitudes toward drinking.
But it's not all medical jargon and scary stats. Dr. Maureen also opens up about the emotional and psychological hurdles people face when dealing with addiction. She emphasizes the need for healthcare professionals to approach these conversations with empathy and understanding, reducing the stigma that often surrounds alcohol use disorder. If you're curious about the real impact of alcohol on health or looking for a compassionate perspective on addiction, this episode is a must-listen.
