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.
