Summary

Is alcohol actually anti-inflammatory, or is that just misleading science?
 
 
On today's show, we dive into one of the most confusing and controversial topics in the health world: alcohol.
 
 
You may have heard that certain types of alcohol can lower inflammation markers in the body, but the real story is far more nuanced.
 
 
In this episode, we explore what the research truly shows, who may benefit from small amounts of alcohol, and who is more likely to experience increased inflammation, poor detoxification, or negative long-term health effects.
 
 
So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3590 to learn how to evaluate your own bio-individual response and make the best decision for your long-term health and wellness.
 
 
Enjoy the show!
