A short conversational clip from a Lori Harder YouTube video discussing how to balance alcohol consumption with gut health. The speakers offer practical tips: prefer low-sugar and organic drink options, limit alcohol to about two to three drinks per week at most, concentrate drinking into one or two consecutive days (e.g., Friday and Saturday), and limit to one drink per occasion where possible.

The week and then the next day. Lots of water, lots of fiber. Just give your liver a little bit of a helping hand and then we. So we can include it in there. Don't drink on an empty stomach. Make sure you're having some protein, some fiber, some healthy fats so we don't get that crazy sugar craving. Try and drink a little bit earlier in the day so we have time to metabolize it so it's not affecting our sleep. So there are ways of making it healthier.
