Real Cause of Excess Belly Fat
We’ve all heard red wine has some health benefits (hello, resveratrol!), but if you’re over 40 and trying to sleep better, build muscle, and support your metabolism, that evening glass might be doing more harm than good.

In this episode, I break down the surprising science behind alcohol, sleep disruption, and metabolic health—plus what I’ve learned from tracking my own recovery using the Oura Ring. You’ll learn:

✅ Why even one glass of wine before bed can wreck your deep sleep
✅ The link between alcohol and insulin resistance, weight gain, and muscle loss
✅ My personal wine rules (and why I’ve cut back to 1-2 glasses per month)
✅ How to test your own alcohol tolerance like a pro—no guilt, just data
✅ Cleaner alternatives like Dry Farm Wines and how to drink smarter

If you’re committed to aging powerfully, this is a must-watch.
