Description

There’s not much Will McCormack hasn’t done in Hollywood, but behind the scenes of his successful career, Will was abusing alcohol and drugs to cope with the pressure of performance.  He’s acted, written screenplays, produced, directed, and won an Oscar for Best Animated Short Film. But Will is much more than a Hollywood star. In this episode of Beyond the Prescription, Will opens up to Dr. McBride about the struggles of addiction, the joys of fatherhood, and finding gratitude and self-awareness on the path to sobriety.  A new episode launches every Tuesday. Beyond the Prescription is hosted by Dr. Lucy McBride (https://lucymcbride.com/podcast) and produced by kglobal (https://kglobal.com/podcast-studio).   Get full access to Are You Okay? at lucymcbride.substack.com/subscribe

Each week, Dr. Lucy McBride talks with her guests like she does her patients — pulling the curtain back on what it means to be healthy, connecting the dots between mental and physical health. To Dr. McBride, health is about more than the absence of disease. Health is a process, not an outcome. It's about having awareness of our medical data, acceptance of the things we cannot control, and agency over the areas we can change. It starts with access to fact-based information to care for our body and mind.
