Welcome to The Truth About Alcohol. I’m Lee Davy.
This podcast is for people who know something about their drinking doesn’t quite add up — and want to understand why stopping can feel so much harder than it should.
No labels. No judgement. No “rock bottom” stories required.
We talk about what alcohol really does to the body, brain, and nervous system, why cravings and rituals are so persistent, and why willpower isn’t the issue most people think it is. You’ll hear calm, honest conversations that reduce shame, make the confusion make sense, and help you see your next step more clearly — whether you’re still drinking, trying to stop, or have stopped but don’t feel settled.
If you’ve ever thought, “I’m intelligent, capable, and functional… so why can’t I just stop?” you’re in the right place.

Oli Hollis is an HPD-accredited Clinical Hypnotist and a registered Physiotherapist with the HCPC. His speciality is managing pain, particularly in conditions like fibromyalgia, employing years of expertise. Oli also uses hypnosis as a remarkable tool to aid in managing diabetes through dietary changes, promote weight loss for those facing orthopaedic surgeries, and encourage healthier lifestyle choices.
Beyond physical health, Oli assists individuals in overcoming addictions, such as smoking and excessive drinking. His work doesn't stop there. He addresses various anxiety-related issues, helping people conquer everything from stage fright to specific phobias. For general anxiety cases, Oli uniquely combines the principles of psychology and hypnotherapy; if the situation calls for it, he collaborates with doctors and clinical psychologists.
Oli is also a STRIVER who recently celebrated 1000 days AFAF, so I asked him to come onto the show.
