Episode description

You wake up feeling foggy, your heart’s racing, and there’s a low-key sense of dread… even though you didn’t do anything wrong. That’s not just a hangover — that’s hangxiety.

In this episode, Mike Hardenbrook breaks down the science behind why alcohol can make you feel emotionally off the next day, even after just a few drinks:

  • How alcohol messes with brain chemistry, sleep, and blood sugar
  • What the “rebound effect” means for your nervous system
  • The role of hydration, nutrients, and neurotransmitters in mood recovery
  • Why even moderate drinking can trigger anxiety — and what to do about it
  • Simple steps to bounce back faster (without beating yourself up)

🎧 Tune in now to learn how to manage hangxiety with science-backed strategies — and feel more like yourself the next morning.
