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.

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.
