Alcohol and The Body

What if the biggest impact of alcohol isn’t the buzz—but what it blocks in your body?

In this episode, I break down exactly what happens inside your body when you consume alcohol—from the moment you take your first sip to how your liver prioritizes detox over every other metabolic process. You’ll learn how alcohol shuts down fat burning, impacts blood sugar regulation, and even lowers your energetic frequency. I also share my own personal experience with a full year of alcohol-free living, what changed for me, and why I rarely drink now.

Whether you're sober-curious or just want to understand the science behind alcohol and metabolism, this episode offers a practical, non-judgmental take so you can make empowered choices for your health and energy.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why your liver stops processing everything else once alcohol enters your system
• How alcohol blocks insulin and glucagon, halting fat-burning and blood sugar regulation
• The conversion process of alcohol into even more toxic byproducts—and how your body clears them
• Why alcohol impacts every cell in your body (including your brain)
• The truth about alcohol’s connection to cancer risk
• My favorite low-tox wine brands (Dry Farm Wines & Avaline)
• How alcohol affects your energy, frequency, and metabolic health
• Why movement, fasting, and muscle mass help offset alcohol’s effects
• The one test to see how your body responds to alcohol in real time
