In this episode of *Exert*, we dive into the topic of alcohol consumption and its impact on longevity, all through the lens of Generation X. With *Dry January* in full swing, we explore the benefits of cutting back or quitting alcohol altogether. Dellanney plays the Devil’s advocate, choosing to take on *Damp January*—moderating intake—while Martha has fully committed to a no-alcohol stance as part of not just Dry January but also the *75 Hard Challenge*, which she's tackling for 75 days.

Join us as we discuss how each of us feels throughout this journey, and delve into the generational differences in how we drink (or choose not to). From the rising popularity of non-alcoholic alternatives to the mental and physical shifts that come with stepping away from booze, we examine how to find peace with where you are in your relationship with alcohol. Whether you’re going dry, damp, or just considering a change, this episode is a thought-provoking look at balancing health, habits, and happiness.

Tune in for a candid conversation on sobriety, moderation, and the real impact of alcohol on our lives!

New Year, New Challenges: Surviving the Holidays, Embracing Longevity and Pondering Living Forever.

In this episode of Exert Podcast, we reflect on the challenges of the new year and how we managed to survive the holiday season. We discuss the Netflix documentary *"Don’t Die: The Man Who Wants to Live Forever,"* featuring Bryan Johnson, diving into the bold ideas around extreme longevity and what it means for the future of health and wellness. Raising the question: would you do it if you could?

We discuss resolutions - or lack thereof. We also share our experiences with a new fitness program we're trying through Mind Pump Media, offering our initial thoughts on the program.

As always, we talk longevity, aging like fine wine (or at least like a decent bottle of boxed wine), and how focusing on the now can help make tomorrow’s version of you stronger, better, and maybe just a little less creaky.

Mentioned in this episode:
Bryan Johnson - Netflix Documentary. "Don't Die, the Man Who Wants to Live Forever".
Mind Pump Media
Gabby Bernstein - Self Help
Peter Attia, MD - Outlive. The Science & Art of Longevity
