In this episode of the Outlier Health Podcast, Matt Frazier and Matt Tullman dig into the controversial topic of alcohol. During the 1990's, red wine (consumed in moderate amounts) gained the reputation of being beneficial for heart health. But that research has largely been debunked, and in 2024, it's accepted by most people that alcohol of any kind isn't good for us. And yet when we look at the longest-lived, happiest cultures in the world (like the Blue Zones cultures), we see that moderate alcohol use is a part of many of their lives. So what's the deal? Is it just correlation? Or is responsible alcohol consumption actually beneficial — or at least, not harmful — in the quest for a long, happy life?

For the first time, in this episode all four of the Outlier Health Podcast team get together to discuss that most minutiae-laden of topics... the morning routine! We talk about what exactly each of us does every morning to best prepare for a productive, fulfilling day... and then discuss whether morning routines actually help at all. Are they truly the key to success influencers make them out to be? Or would we be better off just doing something that makes us happy in the mornings? 

Optimize your nutrition, optimize your fitness, optimize your sleep. Optimizing is the new hacking, but somehow more sophisticated. But lost in the world of high-tech solutions for squeezing the most out of your time and your life is the very human need to actually live. When you're busy counting macros, it's easy to forget that meals are meant to be enjoyed, and when you're hooked up to a heart monitor and a Strava account, you're definitely not doing the same kind of running our ancestors did.  In this episode of the Outlier Health Podcast, Matt and Matt explore optimization culture and ask the questions: Is all this optimization worth the enjoyment it costs us? And does it really help with health at all?
