92% of the 28M people struggling with alcohol overuse don’t get any form of help. Millions are being left behind by a system that’s reactive, rigid and one size fits all. We’re fixing this. Today I’m excited to introduce you to Sunnyside Med by @joinsunnyside, a new program that pairs our proven behavior change system with compounded naltrexone, a medication for reducing alcohol use. With Sunnyside Med we’ll do to alcohol what GLP1s have done for weight loss - dramatically open access to medication that takes willpower out of the equation. Like in weight, the winner here will be the one who delivers the best end to end experience. That’s us. After 5 years building Sunnyside, and more than half a million engaged members, we know what works when it comes to alcohol habit change. We’ve built an incredible companion experience where medication is just one part of a comprehensive whole. It’s an entirely new path that’s been long overdue. I wrote a (much longer) version of the strategy behind the launch on the Sunnyside blog. Check the replies to read on.

Great analysis. Important not to forget the behavioral side of addiction treatment. Like in weight loss, the best results will come from the pairing of medication with structured habit change interventions. We’ve built this at @joinsunnyside!

"I just lied to my doctor.. again." I love this post from @DabTheInk - it's too real! 😆 In your last annual checkup, did your doctor ask you about your drinking? How did you respond? When we aren't feeling great about how much we're drinking, it's easy to deflect the question or underreport. But if we can't talk to our doctors about drinking, how do we get help when we need it? If the annual checkup is the only path to access clinical support for changing drinking habits, each time we shrug the question we close the window of access to care for another year. We can do better than this! Sunnyside Med by @joinsunnyside makes access to alcohol habit change, including medication for drinking less (when appropriate), available 100% online. No more awkward doctor conversations as a gatekeeper to getting started. No longer limited to one opportunity each year. And with an approach that's flexible based on individual goals vs. shoving sobriety down your throat. So if this sounds familiar, and you're feeling the inkling to make a change, our front door is always open.

It’s clearer than ever that cutting back on drinking is one of the highest leverage health investments we can make. More amazing insight from @WHOOP. We @joinsunnyside make improving drinking habits a lot easier!

Clinical validation of Sunnyside’s approach to healthier drinking habits!

Alcohol use falls on a spectrum, not a binary scale. Important to understand, so we can better match treatment options to this reality!

Today we’re celebrating a big year of improvements here at @joinsunnyside with a launch on Product Hunt. Check out the listing to see what’s new!

Interesting take, but I’m not convinced alcohol will take on the same stigma that cigarettes have. Instead, I think we’re ushering in a wave of more conscious consumption. Our key insight @joinsunnyside is it doesn’t need to be all or nothing!

Awesome findings from @whoop. Why the work we’re doing at @joinsunnyside really matters for anyone interested in optimizing health and performance.

Excited to be a part of it!
