Can drinking actually cause anxiety — not just help it? Turns out, the answer is way more complicated than we think.
In this episode, Mike Hardenbrook unpacks the tangled relationship between alcohol and anxiety — and why your evening glass of wine might be quietly messing with your mental health. Backed by new research and real-world insight, this episode dives into the science, symptoms, and support systems that matter.
You’ll learn:
- Why alcohol initially eases anxiety — but rebounds hard later
- The role of GABA, withdrawal, and the kindling effect
- How to spot the difference between social drinking and anxiety-driven patterns
- Effective tools to manage both: CBT, mindfulness, and recovery communities
- How ingredients like Ashwagandha (found in Daily Restore) may help support a calmer nervous system during the process
🎧 Tap play now to understand the deeper link between drinking and anxiety — and how to take back control one small step at a time.
