About Michael
Growing up in New York, I learned early that life has a way of catching up with you. My path to sobriety wasn't linear — it was built through hard work, honest support, and eventually understanding what recovery actually demands from the body as much as the mind. Most programs treat recovery as purely psychological. Physical repair is the piece they miss.
I moved to Los Angeles and built a life here, sober. I know what it means to navigate this city — the entertainment world, the social pressure, the culture around drinking — without alcohol. That lived experience is the foundation of how I work with clients.
When your body is healing — when cravings ease because your blood sugar is stable, when anxiety lifts because you're moving again — everything else gets easier. I work one-on-one with a small number of clients. This is not a clinic. It's a partnership.
"Recovery isn't a mental battle you win with enough willpower. It's a biological process — and when you give the body what it actually needs, everything changes."
— Michael MottolaAlcohol harms the mind, the body, and daily behavior. The program addresses all three simultaneously — because that's how real healing works.
01 — Strategy
A structured, realistic cessation plan built around your actual life. No generic advice — specific milestones, clear next steps, someone to hold you to them.
02 — Movement
Exercise is the fastest way to rebuild your dopamine system without alcohol. Phase-matched training reduces withdrawal anxiety, restores sleep, and gives the body biological momentum.
03 — Nutrition
Alcohol destroys B vitamins, gut bacteria, blood sugar regulation, and liver function. Targeted nutrition repairs this damage — cutting cravings biologically and accelerating how quickly you feel like yourself.
What to expect
Recovery isn't a straight line — but your plan always is. Here's exactly what working with Michael looks like over 12 weeks.
Weeks 1–4 · Foundation
We start by understanding your full picture — drinking history, health, lifestyle, nutrition, and what you've already tried. From this, a custom plan is built. Early movement is gentle and intentional: walks, breathwork, light training.
Weeks 5–8 · Build
Progressive training replaces the empty hours alcohol once filled. Nutrition shifts into deeper repair — liver protocols, gut microbiome rebuilding, targeted supplementation. Sobriety habit-stacking locks in behavioral patterns that crowd out cravings.
Weeks 9–12 · Thrive
High-function training you actually enjoy. A sustainable long-term nutrition plan. A relapse-proof identity — not just the absence of drinking, but a life you don't want to escape from.
