In this episode of The Alcohol Minimalist Podcast, host Molly Watts chats with Katie Garry, the founder of Seek. Katie introduces Seek, an innovative at-home lab test designed to help women understand how alcohol affects their health.

Backed by top clinicians from Penn University, Rutgers, Mount Sinai, and UCLA Health, Seek aims to identify early indicators of alcohol-related diseases and improve overall well-being. Katie shares her journey of realising the gaps in understanding alcohol's impact on her health and deciding to fill those gaps herself.

Katie emphasises the importance of early intervention and preventive health measures.
The conversation is filled with relatable anecdotes and practical advice, making it clear that changing your relationship with alcohol is not only possible but also empowering. If you're curious about how alcohol might be affecting your health or looking for a way to gain more control over your drinking habits, this episode offers valuable insights and actionable steps.
