EFR 795: The Health Benefits of Alcohol, How Fermentation Enhances Bioavailability and How to Drink Better with Mark McTavish

Ever Forward Radio with Chase Chewning

This episode is brought to you by WHOOP and Caldera Lab.

Have you ever paused to consider your relationship with alcohol? Mark McTavish, co-founder of Pulp Culture and 101 Cider, joins us to turn the convention on its head by introducing the practice of mindful drinking. Mark shares his philosophy of "drink better," which invites us to approach alcohol with the same care as our diet—focusing on quality and appreciation over mindless consumption. As we navigate the often misunderstood world of alcoholic beverages, we're encouraged to cultivate a deeper understanding of fermentation, its natural role in developing rich flavors, and how it can positively shift our drinking habits.
