24: Alcohol and The Brain

<div><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">In this episode, I'm sharing an interview I did discussing how alcohol impacts the brain. I discuss recent research that demonstrates how even "moderate" alcohol consumption changes neural circuits in a way that leads to more <span style="color: #000000;">impulsive and habitual behaviors even when not drinking. I discuss how alcohol disrupts the gut microbiome, negatively impacting s</span>erotonin and dopamine, which regulate your mood in positive ways. I also talk about the deeper subconscious beliefs and unresolved emotions/traumas that may be contributing to the desire/need for alcohol. Whether you drink or know someone who does, there's a lot of great information in this episode.</span></div> <div><span style= "font-family: arial, sans-serif;"> </span></div> <div><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">Special thanks to The Sober Summit and Maggie Klaassens for letting me share this interview. </span></div> <div><span style= "font-family: arial, sans-serif;">https://www.thesobersummit.com/</span></div>
