Could a Daily Pill Help You Drink Less? Let's Chat About Naltrexone
Manage episode 515897527 series 3553778
Today I’m sharing something that more people should know about… but most still don’t. It’s called naltrexone — a prescription medication that can actually help reduce how rewarding alcohol feels. That “buzz” or dopamine spike? This blunts it, making it easier to drink less without relying on willpower alone.
In this episode, I’ll walk you through:
- What naltrexone does in your brain
- Why it’s not about quitting, but changing your relationship with alcohol
- And how it fits into our newest offering at Sunnyside — Sunnyside Med
This is the first time we’re offering medical support alongside behavior change. And while naltrexone isn’t a magic pill, when combined with planning, tracking, and coaching, it can be a powerful tool for making moderation easier and more sustainable.
If you’ve ever thought, “I don’t want to drink tonight”… and then poured one anyway, this might be worth exploring.
You can learn more at https://www.joinsunnysidemed.com. Sunnyside Med provides access to naltrexone via a compounded medication (Naltrexone 50mg + B6 5mg). As always, none of this is medical advice — just information to help you stay curious on your path.
