Summary

What do you know about the effects of red wine on health? Have you ever wondered how much of that is true and how much is just what people say? Our guest today, Maryanne, was a yoga-loving, lavender-scented health enthusiast. Yet, every day, she felt conflicted. On one hand, she embraced healthy habits, on the other, she enjoyed a glass (or two, or three) of red wine. Can you relate? Does the supposed health benefits of red wine clash with your desire to feel your best? In this episode, Maryanne shares how her upbringing, parenting, marriage, and even her job all influenced her relationship with alcohol. We'll explore how fears over her health led Maryanne down a path to alcohol freedom.

0:32.0	Okay. Where did it all start for you? Okay, so I would say growing up, there wasn't much alcohol use in my family. My dad's side was Slovak, but my mom's was Irish. So we got to witness a lot of the fun at our birthday parties by the Irish side.
