Listen "Rethinking the Pour: Jessa Frances & Philip Gladman on Alcohol, Identity & the Rise of Alcohol-Free Living"
Episode Synopsis
In this eye-opening episode of Optimize W(e), host Lindsay O’Neill welcomes two thought-provoking guests—Jessa Frances, a trauma-informed yoga teacher and alcohol-free advocate, and Philip Gladman, fellow biohacker and wellness explorer. What starts as a conversation about personal choice quickly becomes a deep dive into the evolving relationship we have with alcohol, and how it intersects with wellness, identity, and human connection. Meanwhile, Philip brings insight from the biohacking world, where alcohol remains a controversial topic: a social lubricant for some, a health liability for others. From navigating trauma to building a more conscious relationship with what’s in our glass, this conversation is honest, nuanced, and refreshingly human.
