About this Event

Join popular local medical professional Dr. Makoi at Books Inc. Opera Plaza for a reading and signing of his refreshingly grounded, body-centered guide to improving your health: Booze to Balance: A Chill 30-Day Liver-Healing Program!


About the book: Feel Better, Think Better, and Look Better in 30 Days!

We celebrate special occasions with a bottle of bubbly, take mom to brunch with specially crafted libations, meet our best friends with weekend cocktails, pour wine with dinner, and even watch our favorite football teams with a cooler full of icy beer. Alcohol is a big part of our culture and widely regarded as a major part of the good life. And it is! But how does all this good living impact our health? Specifically, the liver? Dr. Kim has the solution! Learn how you can transform your relationship with alcohol and reclaim your health and happiness beyond Dry January.

In this comprehensive step-by-step guide, Dr. Kim provides simple practices and a 30-day program that combines exercises, mindset shifts, and holistic strategies to alleviate stress on your liver and optimize your overall health.

Discover the benefits of Booze to Balance.

  • Develop a balanced, mindful relationship with alcohol
  • Break free from unhealthy cravings at their source
  • Improve your ability to handle life's ups and downs with ease
  • Lose weight and boost your energy levels
  • De-stress your way to feeling younger and healthier

Dr. Kim takes the guilt and fear away and makes balance easy and approachable. Whether you’re participating in Dry January, in recovery, or simply looking to cut down on your alcohol intake, Dr. Kim's safe and easy-to-implement lessons and activities empower you to take back control of your health.

In addition to improving overall health, you'll find practical tools to address liver-specific conditions such as non-alcoholic fatty liver, hepatitis, or cirrhosis, as well as common symptoms like brain fog, digestive upset, insomnia, mysterious skin rashes or itching, joint pain, jaw clenching, tooth grinding, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. Take the first step toward better health today and discover the power of a liver-centered mindful approach to a balanced, healthier, and happier life.

“Dr. Kim brings sharp wit, grounded wisdom, and heartfelt guidance to the complex journey of rebalancing your relationship with alcohol.” - Ralph Remington, author and artist


Praise for Booze to Balance: A Chill 30-Day Liver-Healing Program:

"Dr. Makoi’s Booze to Balance is a refreshingly grounded, body-centered guide that compassionately empowers individuals to improve their health without judgment or dogma. As someone who values integrative and practical approaches to wellness, I highly recommend this book for anyone seeking sustainable change beyond the usual sober slogans."

Zander Keig, MSW, LCSW, author of The Third Space - A Nonconformist's Guide to the Universe

"Booze to Balance is witty, realistic, engaging and beyond the formalities — that too often get in the way of patients being able to hold honest conversations with their Docs. This book provides valuable nutritional information, is easily digestible with self-improvement tips and designed for us to read a chapter each day for 30 days. It's not only doable, it’s enjoyable."

Dr. An Goldbauer, Clinical Sexologist

"I have always admired Dr. Makoi's refreshing approach to elucidating often knotty concepts within healthcare. May Dr. Makoi's engaging approach continue and even grow for the benefit of all."

Dr. Scott Walker, Founder/Developer of NET (Neuro Emotional Technique)

"Booze to Balance offers a refreshingly simple 30-day path to loving your liver and reclaiming vitality. Dr. Kim delivers clear, doable practices that support holistic wellness without shame or extremes. Instead of prescribing abstinence, he champions balance. He is guiding readers toward a joyful, embodied relationship with their health, their habits, and themselves."
