Let’s talk about wine 🍷 (and why it might be silently sabotaging your sleep and metabolism). Comment the word WINE for a great episode about this! Here’s the truth: I love wine. But I also love aging powerfully—and for me, that means being honest about what wine is doing to my sleep, recovery, and overall health. 👉 Alcohol—even just one glass at night—can crush your sleep quality 👉 Poor sleep = insulin resistance, more cravings, less energy, and harder muscle gains 👉 That “relaxing glass before bed”? It might be the reason you’re waking up groggy, inflamed, and hungrier Here’s my rule now: ✅ No wine before bed ✅ If I drink, it’s with lunch (shout out to the Europeans) ✅ I wear my Oura ring to track how even one glass changes my recovery and REM ✅ I keep it to a couple of glasses per month, not per day This isn’t about restriction—it’s about paying attention. You can still enjoy the occasional glass (I love Dry Farm Wines for a lower alcohol, cleaner option), but test it like you would an elimination diet. You might be surprised how much better you feel without it. Aging powerfully means getting honest with the habits that hold you back. This one’s worth examining.
