There’s a lot of attention on what we eat during a weight loss journey, but less talked about is the role alcohol can play. In this week’s bonus short, Dr David Gwynne joins Helen once more to discuss the variety of ways drinking can impact our weight loss efforts. 

Dr David takes us through what alcohol is,  the way it works in the body, and the influence it can have on our decision-making and healthy lifestyle choices. Helen and David also discuss the joys of waking up without a hangover, and how socialising can still be fun without the booze. 

Dr David Gwynne is a GP and Deputy Chief Medical Officer at Boots Online Doctor.
