What is the “healthiest” alcohol choice? Minimize your sugar intake with *This* Doctor Approved Spirit 🥂🌿
If you’re looking for the cleanest, healthiest alcohol to enjoy *without* derailing your health, mezcal might just be the answer.
According to Dr. Taryn Forrellinatural healer, mezcal stands out as the purest spirit because it is made from 100% agave with no added sugars or artificial ingredients.
Unlike tequila, which may contain additives, mezcal uses the entire heart of the agave in the fermentation process, including the prebiotic fibers known as agavins, which can help regulate blood sugar and support gut health.
In addition to its purity, mezcal has the lowest sugar and calorie count when consumed straight, making it a great choice to minimize your sugar intake while enjoying a drink. Its potential health benefits over other beverages, combined with its smoky flavor and craftsmanship, have made mezcal the drink of choice for wellness enthusiasts.
So, if you’re going to indulge, choosing a high-quality, small-batch mezcal is your best bet for a cleaner, more thoughtful choice. For more healthy, delicious cocktail recipes, I also recommend checking out my cookbooks Kitchen without limits and Unlimited Cookbook!

The future of phototherapy is here: Say goodbye to sleep struggles with Retimer 3 🌙✨
Air travel, jet lag, modern lighting, electronic screens, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth signaling, and other cues that fly in the face of natural daily sunlight and natural evening darkness can completely throw off your body clock. .
Instead of solving the problem, most people will just start making excuses about being a “night owl” or an “early bird” while at the same time hitting their biology with an unnatural circadian rhythm alignment.
One of my favorite solutions for resetting your circadian rhythm is the cool, futuristic blue-green light emitting glasses “retimer” that help reset your body clock to its natural rhythm and back to its ideal time .
Basically, you can think of retimer glasses as the complete polar opposite of blue light blocking glasses. Blue light blocking glasses prevent blue light from entering your eyes, while the stopwatch shines a green-blue light into your eyes much stronger than what you would get from a phone, TV, computer, etc. When you use them strategically throughout the day, you can adjust your circadian rhythm forward or backward, whichever you choose.
You simply wear them while you’re awake either in the morning or at night, depending on how you want to change your sleep. For example, a recommended schedule to change your sleep is usually seven days for 30 minutes each day. To cure the Winter Blues, retimer can be worn daily during the winter or simply used on darker colder days when you want to boost your energy and mood.
To find out more about how your circadian rhythm works (and how timing glasses can help restore it), check out this article.
I’ve been using retimer glasses for almost a decade, and here’s the exciting part: this company is constantly pushing the envelope with the latest biohacking technology. The result?
Retimer 3—a state-of-the-art wearable product backed by over 25 years of research, designed with advanced light technology to realign the sleep-wake cycle and correct circadian rhythm imbalances.
Whether you’re struggling with insomnia, adjusting to new time zones or dealing with the demands of irregular working hours, retimer 3 offers a practical, science-backed solution to correcting poor sleep.
The retimer 3 is paired with its own mobile app, giving you a simple method to create, manage and track your sleep schedule to effectively tackle problems that hinder your night’s sleep.
After being recognized at global events such as the World Sleep Congress and Arab Health, the retimer 3 is now available for pre-order on Kickstarter. Early backers can secure this innovative device at special price of $109—Up to 45% off retail value.
