Episode 119. How Alcohol Affects Your Health

In this episode, I briefly outline the potential pros of drinking alcohol. You should know there are not many. I then break down the process of alcohol metabolism, what is happening in your body when you drink alcohol. In addition, I explain how it affects your brain and gut over the long term and in the short term. I discuss the impacts it has on your mood and feelings of well-being. Lastly, I discuss the foods you can eat to slow the absorption of alcohol and help support your gut and ultimately your brain after having ingested alcohol. And of course, I briefly touch on possible ways to reduce hangovers.I just want to state that I am not a medical professional. And you should take anything I say with a grain of salt, like anything you hear on the internet really.I am just here to share my personal experience with alcohol and the things I wish I had learned about alcohol much, much sooner.Papers referenced:Anthocyanins and cognitionCreatine and brain healthCheck out our brand new SHOP:https://www.in-situcollective.com/collection Join us on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9IpBODN7OHMp_P0mBXij_Q Find us on Instagram @[email protected] Your LMNT Herehttp://elementallabs.refr.cc/jackgrahamOur ProgramsMove Well, Look Good, 12-WEEK WORKOUT PROGRAM.A full-body weightlifting and muscle-building program that requires three gym sessions per week with off-day mobility sessions and "focus sessions".
