Dr Chalmers Path to Pro - Alcohol Interviews

There's a lot of mixed messaging about alcohol some say a little is good for you, while others warn it's always harmful. The reality is that small amounts can help some people unwind, shifting the body from stress mode to relaxation. But beyond that first drink, alcohol takes priority in the body, slowing down detox, depleting important nutrients, and making it harder to fight off disease. Over time, this can contribute to health issues like inflammation, poor metabolism, and even an increased risk of serious conditions.

That said, alcohol is also a big part of social life and personal enjoyment for many people. While drinking in moderation might not be a huge issue, it’s worth considering how it affects energy levels, sleep, and overall well-being. Making small adjustments like staying hydrated, eating well, and supplementing key nutrients can help offset some of the downsides. In the end, it's all about balance and deciding what works best for your body and lifestyle.
