My latest newsletter issue is out! 🗞️⁠ If you aren’t signed up, join us in this weekly dive into my perspective on living out healthiest and empowered lives.⁠ ⁠ In this week’s newsletter, I’m sharing a Good Swap: alcohol for non-alcoholic beverages!⁠ 🍹⁠ ⁠ Back in January, after a phenomenal (albeit somewhat indulgent 🍷🍷 ) trip through the South African wine country, my partner and I decided to do “Dry January,” where we would stop all alcoholic beverages for the month. Inspired by powerful podcasts about the perils of alcohol by Rich Roll, Andrew Huberman, and Liz Moody, I embarked on Dry January with curiosity and enthusiasm.⁠ ⁠ “Dry January” ended up turning into “Dry January through May 14th,” because after I learned that Taylor Swift stopped drinking for her Eras Tour, I decided I did not want to drink during my Good Energy book tour launch (which was my version of Eras Tour, after all! 😆). My partner was incredibly kind and willing to join me on this journey, which made it a LOT more fun. Then, once May 14th hit, we both had no strong interest in drinking, so we didn’t. Now, it’s August, and in many ways alcohol is just no longer an interest. I’ve sort of… forgotten about it 🤯 . Everyone’s relationship with alcohol is very personal, but if you’re thinking about a shift in your alcohol journey, this week’s newsletter describes how my life has changed since I stopped alcohol (and how it hasn’t!).⁠ ⁠ In this newsletter, I’m sharing:⁠ ⁠ 🙅♀️🍸 8 ways not drinking alcohol has transformed my life in 2024⁠ ⁠ 🤔 5 ways it HASN’T⁠ ⁠ 🍹 My five-part formula for the perfect homemade mocktail - which includes a list of some of my favorite brands that I like to add in my mocktails! 👇⁠ ⁠ Gruppo Sanpellegrino Mountain Valley Spring Water Rishi Tea & Botanicals Lion Heart Kombucha Biotic Ferments Santa Cruz Organic Lakewood Organic Juices Farmers Juice Apothékary™ OPTIMIST Drinks | B corp™ Figure Ate ⁠ Sign up to the newsletter and get this issue in your inbox: https://lnkd.in/e5E_e5pz

I quit alcohol 3 year ago this month (tomorrow is 3 years exactly, as a matter of fact 🤔). I enjoy Athletic non-alcoholic beer because I still like the taste of beer. I stop at 1, rather than drinking multiple regular beers like I used to do. 🍺

Thank you for sharing! 👏

I’ve had a similar experience and now just don’t see the need for it anymore.

Mocktails can absolutely be a good swap, and quite enjoyable. I always use caution when selecting bitters or herbal tinctures etc; there are conditions and medicines which do not interact well with some of them (ie ginger with warfarin, hibiscus with pregnancy, etc)

TY for sharing. I agree; decided to refrain from alcohol a few months due to chronic lyme. With the positive response(s) from my “temple”, it makes me question the “need”.

I love mocktails... and to have homemade icetea (with any herbal teas and lots of crushed ice). My favourite is Yogi Tea Classic. Thanks for the inspiration to see how I can create mocktails from that. 🍹

Same. I'm not sure I could return to drinking as it disrupts my sleep so detoxing all night. Also, your book just arrived!
