In this week’s LIVE, we discussed how both Ayurveda and TCM (traditional Chinese Medicine) recognize the dual nature of beverages like alcohol and coffee. While they can be beneficial, they can also create imbalances in the mind, body, and spirit if over-consumed. The key is understanding your body's needs and the context in which you consume these beverages.
