Australian drinking culture is loud, normalised - and expensive. In this straight-talking episode, men’s health coach Andre Obradovic breaks down why Aussie men drink (stress relief, identity, belonging, avoidance), how “I only drink socially” often becomes a pattern, and why alcohol quietly sabotages the results most men want: fat loss, recovery, sleep quality, and testosterone.

We unpack the hidden costs beyond “extra calories”: the sleep disruption that drives cravings and poor decisions, the hormone hit that slows progress, and the way weekend drinking can wipe out a week of training and nutrition. Andre also calls out the fitness industry’s “cheat day + cardio” trap, shares practical scripts for handling social pressure without being weird or preachy, and gives a simple, measurable 30-day minimum effective plan that actually moves the needle.

Andre is known for his no-nonsense approach to nutrition, mindset, and performance. Since 2016, he’s coached everyone from everyday men to executives and athletes - helping them reduce stress, improve sleep, and drop stubborn body fat with clear systems that remove decision fatigue.

What we cover

• The real reasons men drink: stress relief, identity, belonging, permission, avoidance
• When “social drinking” becomes a habit (and how to test it)
• Work functions, judgement, and behaviour: the executive drinking problem
• Alcohol’s big hits: testosterone, sleep, fat loss, and recovery
• Why cheat days keep people stuck (and why the industry loves them)
• “No thanks” scripts for mates and social pressure (truth + “white lie” options)
• Parenting + leadership: what you model at home matters
• The 30-day plan: alcohol rules, food rules, sleep rules, steps, and structure

Key takeaways

• Weekend drinking can stall fat loss and recovery for days.
• Alcohol isn’t just calories - it changes hormones, sleep quality, and decision-making.
• If your mates mock your health goals, they’re passengers, not partners.
• Most men don’t need more cardio - they need better food, better sleep, and daily walking.
• You don’t wing health: plan dinners, cook extra protein, portion leftovers.

Maurice shares how his path through Taoism, Buddhist psychology, CBT, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) & IFS has shaped how he understands the “poly-mind” (many parts), the nervous system & what people are calling a global awakening.

If you are trying to make sense of your own inner world, this conversation gives a grounded, practical way to relate to thoughts, emotions and triggers without shame.

• Maurice’s journey from Buddhist practice and CBT into ACT, polyvagal theory and Internal Family Systems—how East and West describe the same inner processes in different languages.
• The idea of the poly-mind: why we say “a part of me wants X, another part of me wants Y” and how IFS sees these as real, distinct inner parts with their own stories, beliefs & body sensations.
• No bad parts: how protective parts like anger, anxiety, perfectionism, people-pleasing, jealousy or overwhelm are safety mechanisms trying to keep us from emotional pain, not character defects.
• The difference between parts energy vs Self energy & the 8 C’s of Self (calm, curiosity, compassion, courage, clarity, confidence, creativity, connection) to notice when you’re regulated and present in practice.
• How polyvagal theory helps us track when we’re in fight, flight or dorsal shutdown & why “I’m overwhelmed” is often the nervous system going outside its window of tolerance, not a moral failing.
• A simple starting point if you’re in overwhelm: using what you don’t want (e.g. “I don’t want to feel this anxious/jealous/angry”) as a doorway to understand what that part is afraid of and trying to protect.
• The power of witnessing both in relationship and internally: “I see you, I hear you, and you matter” & how this alone can soften anxious, angry or avoidant parts.
• How our inner harmonising of parts and Self mirrors what’s happening on the collective level & why Maurice feels we are in a time of “remembering” who we really are as consciousness having a human experience.
• A reflection on manifestation, story & meaning-making: noticing how the mind creates a story about the past and future, and how freedom comes from seeing we are the ones giving events their meaning.

Key takeaways

• You don’t need to “kill your ego” — your parts formed when there wasn’t enough safety or Self energy available. They’re doing the best they can with the tools they had.
• The work is not to get rid of parts, but to befriend and lead them from Self, with curiosity & compassion.
• Tracking your body sensations (tight chest, solar plexus, lump in throat, shutdown, agitation) is one of the most direct ways to identify which part is up and what it’s trying to do for you.
• Every time you come back to the present moment & drop the judgment-laden story, you’re contributing not just to your own healing, but to the wider collective nervous system.

Identifying within yourself that you are a Gray Area Drinker is a powerful yet overwhelming realisation. Jolene Park has walked this path in 2014 when she recognised her unhealthy habits with alcohol and stopped drinking, forever.

Despite not being deemed to hit rock bottom, there was a truth within herself that she was drinking too much.

Jolene believes when it comes to alcoholism, physiology first, then psychology second, determining nutritional deficiencies and depletions of nutrients such as B6, magnesium, low neurotransmitters, microbiome dysregulation (as this is the home for neurotransmitters). We need to apply the neuroscience with the up-to-date physiology with the craving alcohol or sugar craving brain. The body is depleted.

Gain valuable insights into alcohol recovery. Jolene loves to train practitioners on how to not gloss over the alcohol consumption and where it may be heading into the “gray area’ and strategies to support this.

Jolenes Ted “Gray Area Drinking” has hit over 390,00 views since 2017

Highlights & Resources:

● What is a gray area drinker? They do not need medical intervention…yet
● Using neurotransmitters for alcohol sobriety
● Using nutritional therapy, including GABA for alcohol cravings and recovery
● What is your stress response, are you in a fight, flee or collapsed state
● How to support your body physically with nutrients particularly in the past 30 days
● Not everyone is at rock bottom drinking on a park bench out of a paper bag.
● Repair, replenish and rewiring of the blood sugar, neurotransmitters, and the emotional pieces for recovery;
● How much is too much when it comes to alcohol – government regulations parameters are changing, as at 2018 there were no ‘safe’, anything over 7 standard drinks for women per week is too much
● Mental health and alcohol addiction – anxiety being a big piece of this picture
