Natural Health Meets Sobriety: Janey Lee Grace and Clive de Carle on Feeling Better for Real
Episode Overview
- Short alcohol-free challenges are a start, but longer periods bring clearer mood, energy and lifestyle benefits.
- Magnesium deficiency is common and may contribute to cramps, anxiety, constipation and heart problems, making good-quality magnesium crucial.
- Early sobriety calls for nutrient-dense food, adequate protein and fats, and avoiding fasting or relying on junk snacks.
- B vitamins, especially niacin (B3), along with vitamin D and vitamin C, can strongly support mood, immunity and long-term brain health.
- Amino acids, selenium and liver-supportive nutrients may ease withdrawal and help the body repair after years of drinking.
“My only regret is not doing it sooner, not quitting alcohol sooner.”
How do people find strength in their journey to sobriety? This episode of the UK Health Radio Podcast brings together natural health pioneer Clive de Carle and sobriety advocate Janey Lee Grace for a chat that pairs alcohol-free living with smart, science-backed self-care.
Janey speaks openly about her own shift from seeing alcohol as essential to realising, "My only regret is not doing it sooner, not quitting alcohol sooner." She talks about Sober October, Dry January and why one month off booze is rarely enough to reset both body and mind. For anyone questioning their drinking, you’ll hear how focusing on well-being turns sobriety from deprivation into an upgrade. The conversation then heads firmly into natural health.
Clive explains why magnesium is "the mineral of relaxation" and runs through issues linked to deficiency, from muscle cramps and constipation to anxiety and heart problems. He stresses that quitting alcohol without proper nutrition is a mistake, highlighting the need for nutrient-dense food, quality protein, good fats, and targeted supplements rather than cheap tablets packed with fillers and artificial sweeteners.
You’ll also hear about the role of B vitamins, particularly niacin (B3) in mood, depression and even addiction, along with vitamin D, vitamin C, selenium, amino acids and liver-supportive nutrients. Clive shares his own story of reversing severe arthritis through nutritional changes, underscoring how the body can respond when given what it needs.
Throughout, the tone stays relaxed and conversational, mixing riverbank chat, light humour and practical tips that make sobriety feel less like a punishment and more like a genuine path to feeling better. If you’re alcohol-free, sober curious or simply fed up with feeling run down, this episode might get you asking: what would happen if you treated your recovery like a medicinal makeover for your whole life?
