You know how that one glass of wine that used to relax you now keeps you up at 2 a.m. wondering why your heart’s racing? Yeah, that’s not your imagination. In this episode, Kim gets real about why alcohol hits harder after 40, what the newest research actually says about “healthy drinking,” and how booze messes with your metabolism, hormones, and sleep. You’ll laugh, you’ll nod, and you’ll walk away with simple ways to drink less, feel better, and still enjoy your life—no guilt required.

💬 Let’s talk.
