Ever feel like you “deserve” that glass of wine after a long day? You’re not alone — but what if that after-work ritual is doing more harm than good?
In this episode, Mike Hardenbrook dives into the psychological and biological trap of using alcohol as a reward, including:
- How alcohol hijacks your brain’s dopamine and cortisol systems
- Why drinking to “relax” actually disrupts sleep, spikes stress, and drains energy
- The hidden health costs of the “I earned this” mindset
- How ingredients like Vitamin B6 and Magnesium (found in Rise & Unwind PM) can help support calm, sleep, and emotional reset — without needing a buzz to feel better
🎧 Tap play to learn how to break the alcohol-reward cycle — and build a recovery routine that actually restores you.
