Battle Ready

In this episode of Battle Ready, I’m diving into a deeply personal topic: my journey of quitting alcohol almost seven years ago. Growing up in a family where drinking was common, I became the life of the party—but it eventually spiraled into something much more serious. I found myself drinking alone, trying to escape through training for triathlons, but still feeling stuck in an unhealthy cycle.Join me as I open up about my decision to quit, the moment that changed everything, and the powerful conviction that led me to a sober life. We’ll also explore the science behind alcohol’s impact on your body, brain, and performance. From liver health and cognitive function to poor eating habits and risky behaviors like smoking, I break down the real effects of alcohol and why it’s more than just harmless fun.

Plus, if you’re someone who loves the taste of beer but wants to avoid the negative effects of alcohol, I’ll share some amazing non-alcoholic options like Athletic Brewing and Go Brewing—perfect for athletes and health-conscious individuals.

Whether you’re considering cutting back, quitting altogether, or just curious about the effects of alcohol on your health, this episode is for you. Remember, you have the power to renew your mind, refine your body, and refresh your spirit. Tune in and get ready to become Battle Ready!
