I don’t drink to connect—I connect, then I drink. As a neuroscientist and physiologist, I’m fully aware of the risks of alcohol. But here’s my simple rule: I never use it to build trust, only to celebrate it. A glass of good red wine, in the right company, can be a moment of deep presence and shared joy. If you’re navigating the balance between health and social connection, maybe this mindset can serve you too. “Everything in moderation” isn’t always the sexiest advice, but it’s more often than not the best advice I can give. Do you still drink alcohol? 🤔 #KnowYourPhysio #MindfulLiving #HealthOptimization #AppliedPhysiology #EverythingInModeration #RedWine
