About Your Hosts
Meet Annie and Charles Knowles - a husband and wife team who’ve walked their own very different paths to the same powerful truth- when it comes to alcohol, the story we’ve been sold isn’t the full picture.
Charles is a Professor of Surgery and Clinical Director of Research at Cleveland Clinic London. After decades of working in high-pressure environments and quietly struggling with his own relationship with alcohol, he decided to explore the science behind drinking - and what really drives it. That journey became personal and professional, ultimately leading him to write Why We Drink Too Much, a book that combines the latest research with real-life insight.
Annie is an accredited sobriety and life coach, with a background in NHS health education and wellbeing. After going alcohol-free in 2021, she’s helped many women - across sobriety communities and especially those in healthcare and emergency services - take a break from drinking, rediscover balance, and reclaim their confidence. Her coaching blends lived experience, trauma-informed tools, and gentle accountability.
Together, they’re passionate about helping people feel more empowered, informed, and less alone.
This masterclass is a chance to press pause, get curious, and hear what the science (and real life) has to say — without pressure, shame, or labels.
We Look Forward To Meeting You!
