What really happens when your drinking habits shift — whether you’re cutting back, drinking more, or trying to find a middle ground?
In this episode, Mike Hardenbrook breaks down what actually changes inside your body and brain when your drinking pattern does. You’ll learn:
- Why your sleep, emotions, and focus feel different when you drink more or less
- How your brain chemistry and liver adjust during “recalibration mode”
- Why cutting back can feel worse before it feels better (and why that’s a good sign)
- The real science behind why your body reacts faster than your mind when habits shift
Plus, Mike shares how key nutrients like N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC) and Vitamin B1 (found in Cloud9’s Daily Restore) support your liver, energy, and brain clarity while you adapt — helping your system recover smarter, not harder.
🎧 Tap play to understand what your body’s been trying to tell you — and how to make every phase of change feel a little easier.
