Today I’m going to cover the best remedy to help get rid of sugar cravings and cravings for alcohol: L-glutamine. Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the body. Glutamine turns into glutamate, which is the most abundant neurotransmitter in the brain. L-glutamine increases gluconeogenesis, which is the production of new sugar. This means that this amino acid can quickly turn to sugar and feed your brain cells, but it won’t spike your insulin. Both sugar and alcohol can provide a sense of relief to some people. L-glutamine may help provide fuel to the brain and reduce stress, anxiety, and pressure—this may help reduce the need for alcohol and sugar. L-glutamine has many other potential health benefits, as well. Alcohol consumption can block glutamine and all of the beneficial effects that come with it. Other things can also create a glutamine deficiency, such as: • Chronic stress • Overtraining  • Trauma • Chronic infection  • A lack of glutamine in the diet Foods rich in glutamine:  • Beef  • Chicken  • Fish  • Eggs  • Dairy  • Cabbage  • Dark leafy green vegetables You can also take L-glutamine as a supplement. Other things that may help get rid of cravings for alcohol and sugar:  • Regular exercise without overtraining  • Getting enough sleep  • Reducing stress • Consuming less alcohol  • Get on the keto diet and do intermittent fasting Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio: Dr. Berg, age 58, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

NEWMORROW SESSIONS - A PodCast Series on the Future of Hospitality Mario C. Bauer, Florian Schneider, Axel Weber & Dr. Tillman Bardt The Newmorrow PodCast is more than a podcast — it's a platform for open dialog on the future of our business, a platform for those building what doesn’t exist yet. Here, we share and embrace our passion for the hospitality industry, but we won’t romanticize the journey. We ask the tough questions, confront uncomfortable truths, and prepare for a future that resists easy answers. We believe that the tougher and wilder times become, the more openly, honestly and humanely people need to talk to each other and act together. We believe, openness, togetherness, and truthfulness should also be cornerstones of a professional community to develop our utopian idea of „open source“. This is a space where visionaries don’t just imagine the future — they wrestle with the paradoxes that shape it: success vs. happiness, data vs. instinct, stability vs. reinvention. Join leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers as they share not what made them — but what’s actively shaping them, now and next. So tune in
