In Episode 41, Coaches Ruby and Susan tackle a common yet eye-opening misconception: Can exercising or eating healthy really offset the negative effects of alcohol?  They answer a listener's question: "I would regularly justify the amount I drank, by convincing myself it wasn’t that bad, because I’d be counteracting the alcohol by running/exercising and eating healthy."

Have you ever wondered if your morning workout can undo last night’s drinks? Or if a healthy diet can balance out your alcohol intake? This episode is packed with personal anecdotes, myth-busting insights, and practical tips that will make you rethink everything you thought you knew about alcohol and fitness.

Ruby and Susan dive deep into how alcohol impacts your body—from dehydration and liver damage to nutrient malabsorption and weight gain. But it’s not all doom and gloom!  There’s hope and a clear path to recovery.

What myths about alcohol and fitness have you believed? How can you start making changes today to improve your health and well-being? Tune in for inspiring stories and actionable advice that will empower you to rethink your relationship with alcohol and embrace a healthier lifestyle.
