Episode 22 Wine O’Clock Isn’t the Answer—Here’s Why

In this episode of The Anchored to Wellness Show, we’re getting honest about the end-of-day ritual—wine, sugar, Netflix, scrolling—and what it’s really telling you. This isn’t about blame. It’s about signals. If your nightly wind-down is the only way to “turn off,” your body isn’t weak—your resiliency tank is low and your nervous system is asking for help.

We’ll unpack:
– Why we reach for it: the ritual that marks “I made it” (and why culture normalizes it)
– What’s happening under the hood: cortisol rhythm, blood sugar swings, sleep architecture, HRV
– The dependency loop: why short-term relief drains tomorrow’s capacity
– Resiliency > willpower: how Reset → Repair → Rebuild restores calm, focus, and steady energy

No shame, no scare tactics—just physiology you can work with and small shifts that rebuild capacity.

✨ Stop managing symptoms. Mend the mess. Rebuild your resiliency. Reclaim the Real You.
