#137 - Can I drink alcohol and reach my body and health goals with Craig McDonald
In this podcast, we’re talking about booze! If you’ve followed me for a while, you’ll know I used to drink a lot, I was a loose cannon 🤣 For a long time I used it to have fun and as a coping mechanism.
I still love alcohol but I don't love how excessive drinking makes me feel.

In this episode, Craig and I discuss:
➡️The effects of alcohol on the body
➡️The link between alcohol and estrogen
➡️How alcohol interferes with sleep
➡️How to track alcohol along with tracking your food
➡️What’s in alcohol?
➡️How drinking impacts fat loss and training
