Ep 294 Transcending the Power of Alcohol ft. Chris Scott

Send us Fan MailWhen drinking alcohol goes from occasional happy hours with friends and co-workers to necessary regimented daily practice.  If you require booze to function with the pressures and anxieties of life (or know someone who does) then this episode is a MUST listen. This is a sobering discussion about the darkness of alcoholism. Our guest on Strong By Design, Chris Scott, founded Fit Recovery to help people from around the world transcend alcohol and optimize their health. Chris has been addiction-free since 2014 and is on a mission to help others break free as well. He is the author of Drinking Sucks!, creator of online course & support community Total Alcohol Recovery 2.0, and cohost of the Elevation Recovery Podcast with Matt Finch. Chris has dedicated nearly a decade to studying alcohol recovery, natural supplementation, and fitness.  “My brain was deteriorating, my liver was deteriorating, my gut was deteriorating and my sanity was deteriorating. I would wake up every night at 3 in the morning feeling like all was about to break loose. The same feeling of anxiety that you would have, situationally, if a nuclear bomb had just got off or was about to, and only you knew it.” - Chris Scott   Time Stamps   0:54 – Welcome to the ‘Strong by Design’ podcast 4:12 - Get to know today's special guest, Chris Scott, the founder of 'Fit Recovery' 6:55 - How Chris' social drinking turned into alcohol abuse 12:45 - What are the impacts of alcohol on his health? 14:55 - The ups and downs of alcohol recovery 18:58 - Chris recalls his time at the Detox Center 23:45 - GABA and Alcohol: Understanding the effects of insufficient GABA levels in the body 29:12 - Did his ANXIETY lead him to develop an alcohol syndrome? 38:50 - Chris openly talks about the ups and downs of alcohol recovery 46:38 - The importance of supplements and nutrition in alcohol detox and withdrawal 52:41 - What diseases are associated with alcohol addiction? 55:07 - What supplements are best to help with alcohol withdrawals? 1:02:50 - Discover Chris' impressive transformation as he transcends alcohol 1:05:44 - Are you an ALCOHOLIC? 1:18:33 - Where you can go to connect with Chris Scott   Resources: Fit Recovery Connect w/ Chris: Instagram YouTube Connect w/ CriticalBench:  Youtube Facebook Instagram CriticalBench.com StrongByDesignPodcast.com Support the showConnect w/ Critical Bench: YoutubeFacebookInstagramCriticalBench.comCriticalNutritionLabs.comStrongByDesignPodcast.com
