Jeff Herten, M.D.
Dr. Jeff Herten, a native Californian, resides in rural San Luis Obispo with his wife, Debby. His past as a high-functioning alcoholic, his medical expertise, and his life experiences have uniquely equipped him to expose the shocking physical, psychological, and social effects of alcohol.
For over thirty years, author Dr. Jeff Herten was a high-functioning alcoholic—one who drinks every day, yet continues to lead a productive, successful life. Now he shares how alcohol can destroy lives—as it nearly destroyed his.
Alcohol is the single greatest social ill in the US. Alcohol may lead to deadly cancers of the breast, colon, esophagus, and liver. It rots our bones, corrodes our stomach lining, erodes our memories, and suppresses our immune systems. The Sobering Truth explores the associated risks, behaviors and innocent victims of alcohol abuse and recommends resources to help turn their lives around.
