Episode Description

Big changes are brewing. U.S. health officials are expected to overhaul long-standing alcohol guidelines and the new science (and common sense person) says even one drink a day might be too much. In this episode, we unpack what these changes mean for you, the $250B alcohol industry, and why it’s time to ditch the “moderate drinking is healthy” myth once and for all.

We dig into the latest research, what’s really happening behind closed doors in Washington (and the boardrooms of Big Alcohol), and how this shift impacts men, fathers, leaders, and anyone trying to level up without the drag of booze.

You’ll also get a few solid takeaways to help you think clearly, lead better, and start showing up as your best self—without the crutch of “just one drink.”

🎯 Takeaways:

  • Why the new guidelines are such a big deal
  • What one drink really does to your brain and body
  • Why high performers are quietly ditching alcohol
  • How to start a no-BS reset that works
