Episode 109 - Letting Go of Alcohol and Improving Sleep With James Swanwick


Listen Later

If you want to naturally increase your testosterone levels, alcohol is one of the first things you need to cut off. Alcohol increases estrogen, the female hormone.
We need to have a little bit of estrogen in our blood, but too much of it causes belly fat storage and man boobs and keeps us counterbalanced.


Sleep is essential, too, for the production of testosterone. This hormone is produced in the morning, but deep sleep is crucial. Since alcohol compromises the quality of your sleep, its consumption compromises your testosterone levels.


Today’s guest, James Swanwick, is an expert in both alcohol and sleep.
James Swanwick is a former SportsCenter anchor on ESPN, CEO and founder of Swanwick Sleep and Alcohol-Free Lifestyle, and host of the podcast Alcohol-Free Lifestyle.
His teachings on sleep and alcohol have been featured in Forbes, Entrepreneur magazine, and Psychology Today.


Swanwick Sleep makes stylish blue light-blocking glasses known as Swannies. These products help people avoid the harmful effects of exposure to blue light and improve their sleep quality.
Besides, he’s the author of “The 30 Day No Alcohol Challenge”, a book that helps people let go of alcohol, even if they are only social drinkers, to take their performance from average to the highest level!


As you can tell, I had enough reasons to bring James to the show. Tune in to discover amazing hacks you can utilize to quit alcohol for good, improve your sleep and feel even more SuperHuman.


“If you’ve got those five pillars (fun, community, accountability, coaching, and skin in the game), you’ll stop drinking. But most people are just tryna use willpower and motivation, and they are stuck in the hamster wheel.”


—James Swanwick
