He shared his personal journey away from alcohol and how it inspired him to enter the growing market of functional beverages. New Brew specializes in offering an alternative to traditional alcoholic drinks, catering to individuals seeking healthier choices or those who want to explore different experiences. We explored the diverse landscape of functional beverages and discussed the unique properties of ingredients like kratom and kava, which are gaining popularity. Justin highlighted the benefits of choosing alcohol alternatives, including improved mental clarity and enhanced relaxation. He also addressed misconceptions surrounding kratom and kava, shedding light on their cultural significant and potential health benefits when consumed responsibly. Justin Wolf started New Brew after being frustrated by all the non-alc and "functional beverage" options that didn't live up to their claims. While traveling in Mexico, he experienced the transformative benefits of Kava Root and Kratom Leaf, and set out with his two brothers to create a ready to drink beverage for California Sober and health conscious individuals like him. Before starting New Brew, Justin spent five years leading Global Partnerships at Google and launched Drip Drop, an electrolyte powder hydration supplement that is now sold at pharmacies across the US.

Defeat Your Cravings & Heal Your Food Addictions with Dr. Glenn Livingston

1/2/2024
We had the privilege of sitting down with Dr. Glenn Livingston, a veteran psychologist with decades of research dedicated to understanding the complexities of binging and overeating. He brings a unique perspective to the table, drawing from his personal journey of breaking free from obesity and developing a healthy, lighthearted relationship with food. We get into the prevalent issue of stress eating and why it has become a common coping mechanism in our society. He also shares insights on how to identify if you have a problem with overeating and offers practical advice on navigating the challenges of curbing unhealthy eating habits. Dr. Glenn Livingston is a veteran psychologist and longtime CEO of a multi-million dollar consulting firm that has serviced several Fortune 500 clients in the food industry. His work, theories, and research have been published in major publications including The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times and The Chicago Sun Times. Disillusioned by what traditional psychology had to offer overweight and/or food-obsessed individuals, Dr. Livingston spent several decades researching the nature of binging and overeating via work with his own patients AND a self-funded research program with more than 40,000 participants. Most importantly, however, was his own personal journey out of obesity and food prison to a normal, healthy weight and a much more lighthearted relationship with food.
