Harder Than Life

110: From Partying to Peak Performance w/ Clifford Stephan


Listen Later

In this episode of Harder Than Life, host Kelly Siegel sits down with Clifford Stephan, founder of Booze Vacation, a wellness company that helps high-performing individuals take a break from alcohol to unlock their true potential. Clifford shares his personal journey of going alcohol-free, how it transformed his life, and why he’s passionate about helping others take "booze vacations" to improve their health and overall well-being.


Key Takeaways:

  • Alcohol’s Impact on Health: Clifford explains how alcohol erodes critical systems like sleep, diet, and fitness, and even small amounts can shrink the prefrontal cortex, increase stress, and damage impulse control.
  • Benefits of a Booze Vacation: Taking an extended break from alcohol can lead to clearer skin, better sleep, improved relationships, and higher performance at work and in life.
  • Customized Wellness Programs: Clifford offers free resources, including a playbook and weekly check-ins, to help guide individuals through their booze vacation. He also provides one-on-one coaching for those looking for more personalized support.
  • It’s Not About Sobriety: Clifford emphasizes that the goal isn’t necessarily long-term sobriety but rather giving people the tools to make conscious decisions about their health and lifestyle.
     
  • "Even small amounts of alcohol can shrink your prefrontal cortex, increase stress, and damage impulse control."
