how to twenty-something

In the podcast episode "YOU vs Alcohol," I dive deep into the intricate relationship between young adults and alcohol consumption. Throughout the discussion, I aim to challenge your perspective on alcohol, urging you to reassess its role in your life and make choices that align with your personal values and aspirations rather than societal norms or peer pressure. I acknowledge the positives and negatives around drinking alcohol and how it affects all of your healths from social, to financial, mental, physical, and nutritional. By making conscious choices and prioritizing personal health and happiness, you can lead a more fulfilling life beyond the influence of alcohol.

Key Takeaways:

• The social benefit of alcohol helps with bonding and a sense of belonging
• Everything in moderation - shift your relationship with alcohol to include it in a healthy way
• All processes in your body freezes when you ingest alcohol
• Your alcohol consumption is preventing you from living a full and successful life
• Your sober self deals with the consequences of your drunk self, only increasing your anxiety

The truth behind training with your menstrual cycle really means learning how to train intuitively by listening to your body. While social media often promotes cycle syncing workouts, I stress the need for individualized approaches, considering factors like genetics and lifestyle. By tuning into our bodies' cues and adjusting our workouts accordingly, we can achieve long-term sustainability and well-being in our fitness routines. Ultimately, it's about cultivating a healthy relationship with our bodies and prioritizing self-care throughout our menstrual cycles.

Key Takeaways:

• How eating for your body relates to training with your body
• Your body is going to change based on the phase of your cycle you are in
• Using your workouts as a form of self care and knowing when to give yourself a little grace
• All things being perfect - there is a way to workout based on your cycle
