"I've cleaned up everything else, it's just one glass of wine" is one of the most common things Jason Cook hears from women over 40 who feel stuck. In this episode, he breaks down what alcohol is actually doing beyond the calories in the glass, why it hits differently after 40, and how to make an honest, informed decision about it instead of either ignoring it completely or drowning in guilt over it.
