THH083—Duncan Bhaskaran Brown: Real Men Quit!
In this podcast episode, Dr. Fred Moss interviews Duncan Bhaskaran Brown, a motivational speaker, author, and dancer who transformed his life after two decades of overindulgence. From sharing the stage with S-Club to being the Mayor of his hometown, Duncan shares his unique journey and how he kicked unhealthy habits through training with the Easyway clinic. The episode promises humor, personal anecdotes, and insights into overcoming excess. Along with Duncan's entertaining jokes (despite potential kebab stains on his favorite t-shirt), listeners can expect a blend of wisdom and laughter in this engaging conversation about pushing overindulgence out of life.
Key takeaways from this podcast interview:
After 20+ years of heavy drinking sparked by social anxiety, Duncan achieved sobriety in his late thirties through self-reflection.
Realizing helping others quit drinking aligned perfectly with his skills, he felt compelled to share his greatest personal success.
Duncan takes a holistic view beyond just alcohol cessation to build coping methods for stress and emotions formerly managed through drinking.
With binge drinking so common yet poorly addressed, he collaborates with coaches and companies to incorporate alcohol’s performance impact into training.
Childhood or adult trauma strongly correlate to problematic drinking, but social reasons like fitting in also drive overindulging.
He strives to meet clients where they are to map a personalized path, feeling no single system universally works. Integration of approaches is key.
While some need medical help stopping, most people Duncan aids still function though alcohol causes problems. His support reduces withdrawal risks.
