Hello, my name is Teri Patterson

On October 18, 2015 I woke up, slightly hungover and filled with an unknown anxiety, and I told my husband that I was going to stop drinking. I remember my voice trembling; I was scared. I had no idea what a life without alcohol would look like. I just knew that the voice in my head thinking about drinking, thinking about not drinking was exhausting. And I did it - for me, when I let go of the idea of moderation, I created the mental space for change. And, the unknown fear was quickly replaced by the realization of how much alcohol had been holding me back. I was sleeping better, my gut health improved, my memory improved, I had stamina. All of the healthy changes I had been trying to bring into my life were suddenly possible! I had so much time and energy that I enrolled in nutrition school and became a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner! Since 2016, I have been helping clients take a closer look at the connection between nutrition and alcohol and achieve the same transformation that I have experienced. In 2019 I became a This Naked Mind Certified Coach which has allowed me to help thousands of individuals explore how to make alcohol small and irrelevant and discover the meaning of 'true health'!
