If anyone wants help with quitting the sauce, get to know the monkey on your back. It wears a watch, see how long your craving lasts. Mine was (only) twenty minutes every time I wanted to get drunk. Riding out my twenty minutes greatly helped me, it (only) took me 4 months to get back to shore. Good luck, peace
Great advice 👍 The monkey does indeed wear a watch. Thanks for the reminder.
Kill that clock!
Brilliant suggestion. Thank you! This would also work for sugar and any and everything else we are cutting ties with.
Sugar is a hard one, I’ve been a sugar eater since early childhood. When you get a sugar craving, try putting some on your tongue (sea salt or pink salt). If that tasted good have some more. Repeat until you think it tastes too salty, at this point your body received enough salt. This is, salt to taste, it’s a good bio clue or a way to “un-hijack” your tongue from the market. Try it when your staying away from sugar or if you just worked out etc….
(try putting some salt on your tongue, I meant)
I have enjoyed moderate alcohol consumption for most of the last 45 years. I love my wine with dinner 2 to 4 glasses. I often enjoyed a small glass of scotch now and then. A beer or two on a hot day or after working in the garden went down well too. I dont think I ever got drunk.
Two years ago I took a number of measures to get healthy and gave up drinking. Or at least I limited my drinking to having a couple of glasses of wine with an old friend every two or three weeks.
Then I listened to the Huberman podcast on alcohol and its effects on the brain (the long one) a few months ago. I was so shocked that I gave up alcohol altogether.
Like a lot of people, I found myself drinking more during the pandemic and started to experience near-constant intestinal inflammation and bloating that flared up each time I drank. I had to accept that self-medicating with a glass (or three) of wine at the end of a stressful day was no longer a viable option if I wanted to enjoy a long healthy life. After only 3 weeks without drinking, taking probiotics and daily hour-long walks, my gut is already 75-80% better and I'm falling in love with feeling good every day, waking up alert and up for anything. Dry January might become permanent....
That's awesome to hear. I had similar problems and decided to finally quit on December 30th. I'm 14 days into 2023 completely sober!
Same the burning sensation the bloating the nerves gut is consuming my life so stop drinking for a week I’m doing 40 days without it and feel great like you said I’m falling in love with the good feeling
Smoke some weed instead lmao
I drink every night and have zero probs. Byeeeeeeeeeeee
Same here. I wonder what real percentage of people are experiencing this. I’m also concerned about the other toxins we are not able to avoid. Hope you continue to be well.
Great man! I confirm - I'm a former alcoholic. It took me so much effort to stop drinking...I still feel addicted though and often fight with a wish to have a drink ....but it's worth it. Every effort. My life changed from wretched, in all aspects, to full of joy and energy. Main thing - my family relations restored , regained success at work (although it took me almost a year to put my brain back in order after drinking), now spend time that I gave to alcohol, on my children, wife, friends and good people. Spend it on sports and electronics, learning chinese, things i like to do. Just don't give up. fight with alcohol with all your might for your dear ones, and you will win.
This is inspiring to hear. I had my last drink on December 30th, and started 2023 sober. 14 days on the wagon now, and I'm seeing some early benefits. Your post gave me hope, and I'm happy you're having success!
@@Dusty338 Easy way to control achohol by Allan Carr really worked for my wife and I. We tried dry Jan last year and both of us liked it so much we barely drink now. Once you quit for a couple of weeks you find out you ARE NOT OLD you were just poisoning your body:) Good Health to you and yours!
You’ll never be a former alcoholic (once an alcoholic you’re always be an alcoholic) what you have is a daily reprieve from alcohol, I wish you every success a day at a time.
Appreciate your efforts
I drank a 12 pack (on average) for 33 years every day...finally quit on November 5, 2022 after over 120,000 drinks...I have lost 25 pounds and feel like a new man~ If you can't stop, just Stop anyway, it's worth it...
24 drinks a week. I was downing 24 beers a day. Havent drank for 25 days and my gut is barely starting to feel normal again. These videos are def beneficial in understanding how damaging alcohol can be to your brain and body. Gonna see how long i can keep this run up. God bless
Yea 1 to 4 drinks a week.... wtf how about trying my best to kill a bottle a whisky most nights. Good luck on sobriety man. Meditating, working out, and eating healthy and hardy help me alot.
Right!
I developed a “ habit “ that turned into an addiction… minimum of 24 beers a day to 36 sometimes more. I wouldn’t eat until I was about to pass out.
I put on over 200lbs
Over 3 months I haven’t touched the crap. I feel SO good & think clearly. I’ve dropped close to 40lbs not drinking & save a ton of money. Quitting was the best choice EVER!
Keep going my friend!! And maybe try to approach and understand some of the pain that is behind it more often then one might assume. Everyone has things they don't talk about or try their best not even to think about. Wishing you the best 🙏🏼💌
Sending you kindness and blessings Dr. Huberman
I drank almost daily for the last several years, quitting here and there but always going back to it. I started having gut issues and diarrhea in the mornings. My doctor diagnosed me with alcoholic gastritis, which is an inflammation of the stomach lining. Thankfully its curable, and now that I'm 14 days on the wagon, my gut related problems are virtually gone. Feeling better every day.
What are the way to cure it? I have it too but can’t seem to get it under control
Did you change your diet as well?
Consuming alcohol daily is very beneficial for health. Like anything you eat or drink, it is quantity that counts. So drinking regular vast volumes can be detrimental in the long run, but drinking a few pints or large bottles of strong beer daily can help maintain a very positive gut biosphere and overall health, combined with a fairly active outdoor lifestyle.
@@Globetrotter-1 not when your body is suffering from overuse of alcohol. You must lay off it for a while to give your gut a rest from the constant trauma
@@TrizzleTV Drinking 500ml to 1litre of 7% to 9% proof 🍺 beer daily for an average man is definitely not overuse, and is very beneficial to maintain the kidneys in perfect health. A normal working liver copes with those amounts very easily.
Thank you for your clear description of how our alcohol impacts our brain liver, and gut I’ve been alcohol free for almost 3 years now, and you describe the behavior that I was experiencing. I always assumed it was just a genetic predisposition, but based on what you’ve described, I was clearly in that cycle. Thank you I feel so much better about myself today.
The way AH puts this complex info into a form that is understandable to the layperson (if they're open to hearing it) is a great resource to give people who want/need to stop drinking. Once one understands and can accept the way that molecule indiscrimately effects any/all cells in the body, it is a powerful/empowering mindset to not injest that substance.
That cycle is so very real. I didn't know that it's a self reinforcing system at the biochemical level in that way.
I drank a bottle of wine a night for many many years. I love the taste of alcohol and it helped relax me. I think I got off lightly and managed this for a long time. When this was coupled with severe and chronic stress due to family violence, things change. It was the strw that broke the camels back and I ended up with two severe diverticular haemmorhages which nearly killed me. I no longer drink and have spent 2 years focussing on healing my gut. High probiotic intake for three months, NAG, L glutamine and other things and I feel great.
As someone with chronic depression and generalized anxiety, cutting down on booze was a necessity. It's so worth it to wake up with a clear head and conscience. No amount of alcohol can replace that feeling that life is fine and can get better with age
This comment is the best I have anxiety almost every time after a night of drinking I’m jittery thinking to much and always feeling fear I NEED TO STOP DRINKING BUT ITS HARD BUT DEFINITELY NOT WORTH THE FEELINGS AFTER ITS SCARY
I have recently found out that after years of leg cramps and trying electrolytes, hydration,topicals and ibuprofen it all came down to the alcohol usage. After I eliminated all alcohol my leg cramps and pain was reduced by 75-80%. I walk better and stairs are no longer a problem. Recently came back from a trip to Germany and Austria . The tour was centered around breweries. One day I did 19,000 steps and it was killing my legs. I couldn’t keep up with the tour group which was embarrassing. Now I know and just passing this along as my experience.
Same here, frequent heavy drinker.
Always leg cramps, stopped drinking and ate 3 bananas a day and now i have no more cramps.
Why bananas? Because they contain magnesium, cramps are most often because a lack of magnesium.
I wasn't for pills.
You shouldn't take ibruprofen for cramps, only if you are in incredible pain and cant sleep or something
Ibuprofen? Wouldn't touch it with a bargepole.
@@vandemon9643 Despair is a dangerous emotion that very few can deal with.
Beer is painful for my feet, gin is better but everything in moderation.
You are actually being very conservative and kind when it comes to alcohol intake. I have been guilty of a heck of a lot more than the amount of drinks you stated. This has been informative, so I wanted to thank you!
I’m there with you. I can feel everything in my body slowly dying, we need to stop doing this. I still wanna get really drunk, but maybe just once a month.
Same with 3+ beers on the low end and 10+ on the higher end in a single day - drinking daily. I can certainly feel a burnout with having 30+ in a week
Always great stuff. I appreciate your work!!
great information only recently stopped alcohol noticed a difference in my gut in a positive way hoping it will improve more ,great video!
Hats off to you . Thank You for your research.
Dr. Andrew Huberman, Please make a video about near-death experiences. What is happening in the body. What we know about it, what is mystical about them, how they change the perception and personalities.
Also, children telling past-life stories seems highly interesting subject.
I am currently in the process of reducing my alcohol consumption that has been a major problem since having 2work related neck surgeries. I stopped training, and started drinking, for 4 years i smashed my body with pain killers and alcohol, and my body, brain and gut have never been the same. It all changes this year, I have broken my dependency on alcohol and now its time to rebuild from the ground up. A little daunting at 44, but videos like this give me confidence that i can fix it. So glad I found Dr Huberman's CZcams and podcast.
I resonate with Everything u said. 5 days sober. Feel so unhealthy and sad i did this to myself. I CANT GO BACK
Same here. Had some pretty bad stomach issues back in September. Had blood tests, stool tests, Endoscope, abdominal ultrasound etc. Found some sludge in my Gallbladder which is more from eating fatty foods and whatnot. I did get sober and eat very clean for 3 months, kind of fell off the wagon a bit and have paid for it. Cutting back alcohol was huge. I drink still now, but i need to cut back even further and I am eating much healthier.
100% agree. Been thru basically the same myself. AH puts out such great material on so many topics. All the best to you.
Key understanding for us folks who are working on recovering from Colitis! Thanks again
Thanks for the knowledge
I started seeing a GI doctor about six months ago, because I was having horrible nausea, but only at night when I was laying down. As soon as I was prone, the nausea would start in. This was causing me to miss many, many hours of sleep. I was trying to sleep sitting up, but that ended up causing pilonidal disease; a sore near your tailbone. I had an Endoscopy, Fibroscan and stomach emptying study. All of these came back relatively normal. I didn't realize that it was actually alcohol that was causing my stomach lining to be irritated. It only took a few days after I stopped drinking for my nighttime nausea to go away.
Thank you for this video
This is very interesting, from someone who could be on either side of the fence. Good convincer to stay on the healthy side! Thank you.
Alcohol had worse effects on me than any other drug I’ve ever tried. Thanks for helping me understand more about it.
Yep the dumbest suff ever done is on alcohol
Thank you for this explanation 👍👍
Thanks for another great video.
Please may you do a video about probiotics, gut health and the brain?
12-24 drinks a week?!?! I was up to 44/week… lightweights😂
I’m so thankful for sobriety😁
A friend had 2 bottles of Jim beam in 1 day... crazy how much people can tolerate...
Ya I was on 1/4 fifth a night for a while
I hear ya, 12-24 a night is more like it. But I too quit and gut problem gone.
@@Dan-qt7kq it’s not a competition, but you would’ve won if it was. Congratulations on getting on the straight and narrow.
me too
I’m 74 and drank steadily for years, seldom to the point of intoxication but 1-2 each day for years. Have had my sigmoid colon removed because it was dead tissue due to diverticulum with abscess’s. Also diagnosed with fatty liver which is a precursor to cirrhosis. Stopped drinking; no more issues. Booze is such a destructive drug!
thank u for ur honesty
74 is a long time without having major issues
@@davidr6865 i agreee.....Id say he dodged alot of bullets. Im 54 and have drank for decades. Ive cut back a bit....just starting to cut back as ive devaloped some gut issues out of no where.
40 years of heavy abuse, as much as a liter or hard liquor a day. Having a lot of GI bleeds, chronic nausea, no appetite most of the time, but determined to get sober. Scared as hell to undergo a colonoscopy in a couple of weeks at 57, prompted when I shat blood and could not get it to stop for 40 minutes. 🤞
@@nathanielovaughn2145 good luck man, god bless. You’re going to be okay. Stress makes everything worse
Before I quit drinking my gut and digestive system was so out of balance. I feel so much better.
Awesome info, thanks
Helpful. I used to have 1-2 drinks almost every night, but stopped when my energy went down after an extended respiratory disease. It's hard to find information on the impact of chronic alcohol use in moderate amounts; what I've seen is studies indicating it reduces the risk of heart attack, but I had long suspected it has deleterious effects on the liver and gut, and this gives a lot of insight.
Just so you know: there is no research that proves that alcohol causes a reduction in cardiac events. Any study which suggests this was showing a correlation with some moderate alcohol intake and cardiac events. The problem with correlation is that there are other explanations for why the reduction might occur and there are, indeed, other explanations for the data that is produced.
@@HughCorbyCruick For the same reason, there are no studies that show alcohol causes an increase in cardiac events...
@@HughCorbyCruick Well I don't know if you are right but I can just feel how alcohol could be good for the heart.
1-2 glasses of wine after a stressful day, and you feel all that pressure melt away so there's probably something to it. However alcohol is problematic also
@@DanielAnderssson Oh, I agree about that wonderful effect, which is why so many of us love it. Of course, now working in the addiction field for 40+ years, I’ve had heroin users get that same effect from their drug of choice.
@@HughCorbyCruick Well then I get how you formed your opinion. But in reality the world of drugs is complex and not that black & white.
I started drinking at 15 im 38 now and decided to walk away from alcohol, i drank every weekend why younger and then turned into everyday as i got into my 20s up till now!! I started feeling dreadful the last few months and ended up in hospital Christmas day, i kept feeling like i was going to pass out, i had a severally dehydrated kidney! It was my wake up call, ain't touched a sip since that day! I am still having bad side effects from quitting, been having fast heart rhythms, head ake's, i feel tired more, i won't ever return to alcohol now my mind feels so much better and its only early days!
I’m 63, all I know is work and sleep. No money for exotic vacations, etc…just the way things worked out, working class start to life. Having a few beers and watching a game at a local tavern is one of the few glimpses of happiness I get. Probably twice a month. Feel good so far. No plans to quit that. No one has good health forever. This is good enough for me. That’s my take.
Do you have a vid on how to restore good gut bacteria? Perhaps top 10 foods in order and top 10 to avoid?
Good evening. I began drinking alcohol at age 38 for approximately seven years every night. I would then immediately go to bed. Fast forwarding I was clinical diagnosed with early stage Parkinson. this took place four years ago. I now have seen extreme improvements while taking a probiotic, turmeric six times a day, artemisinin, lemon balm, pinella antioxidant. I believe my gut microbiome was damaged thus creating toxic proteins, inflammation, leaky gut and so on. I also recently learned (as you stated) the gut is responsible for producing nearly fifty percent of dopamine. I'm currently seeking and working on improving my gut microbiome and hoping this continues to restore the levels of producing dopamine. I'm hopeful being that I'm only 49 it has not reached the pathway of the neurologic part of the brain as well. I off course stopped drinking over four years ago. Knowledge is power when utilized in the right manner! So, thank you for your dedication to sharing your knowledge. Please feel free to reach out if you have any insight to offer or require more information/data concerning my progress etc..
Brett, thank you very much for this..I was diagnosed with Parkinson's late in 2021 and haven't used any "drug therapy."
I'm a "moderate" drinker, but have been wondering if there was any connection.
My mother suffered (greatly, in the end) from Parkinson's was a very regular drinker.
I used to make my own yoghurt, for years, "cooking" it for 12 hours, rather than the recommended 6 and am planning to restart that tomorrow and will endeavour to make it my resolution for '23 to knock alcohol into touch.
Thanks, once again, for the info!
Thanks for sharing this. I appreciate you
Learned this lesson late in life... If I drink now I develop "RA" like symptoms 😞. Would greatly appreciate your take on kratom, kava kava, and hemp for those of us looking for an alternative to Ibuprofen.
I started having sleep problems.. falling asleep, then waking up after one hour and being awake for 3-4 hours, because my stomach felt so full and not moving.. also combined with a heavy heart beat.. now i try not eating after 8 pm and also limiting alcohol to 1-2 times a week (been drinking beer or wine every day just to fall asleep for around 3-4 years)
Some other foods to help promote a healthy gut microbiome from personal experience. All of which have been helping me the last year or so. Fermented foods and cutting out sugar and alcohol like mentioned. Increasing your fibre and water intake is also very important. But for me, oats, bananas, avocado, cabbage, other dark leafy greens like spinach and kale, legumes and blueberries. Blueberries, bananas, cabbages and oats have especially helped me as well as increasing my soluble fibre and water intake. I've also started eating less red meat and more chicken and fish and reducing dairy due to developing a lactose sensitivity. Took some time but I'm sleeping better. Feeling better in general, both physically and mentally, and now I have a bad week each month or so instead of a good day or two each month, usually the bad week is after a night of drinking so that should also tell you something...
Take good care of yourselves, you only get one body. Wish I'd valued mine more well before I turned 40, simple things like eating wouldn't be such a struggle.
Edit: A night of drinking OR binging on cheese or ice cream 🤣
I think the most interesting science is how alcohol affects the heart and vascular system , which has the most devastating effects of all foreign systems in my opinion. 40% of all heart failure and arrhythmias is due to alcohol starving, heart cells of oxygen and causing chronic hypertension, exacerbating, acceleration of heart failure, and kidney damage
I was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease in my mid twenties and I’m fifty now…. And FINALLY have under control. Grateful for your wisdom Dr. Huberman! You have a real gift to break these things down for us so that we can understand it. Good thing i don’t like booze! I wonder if college binge drinking didn’t get this whole cycle spinning off into the crazies…. One plus one = exponential chaos.
Great information. I usually have a pour of bourbon each evening, and my doctor always told me that one drink a night is actually good for me. I never thought about this gut-liver-brain relationship. I did start taking probiotics recently, and I can tell they have been very beneficial.
This is good thank you
I weaned myself off Prilosec (Omeprazole) and am stopping drinking now. Also trying to cut down / eliminate coffee. My gut feels better than ever!
LOVE THIS VIDEO❤❤
Great video!
Thank you Dr.Andrew hudleman.
Thank God I dont 🍸 it put me to sleep as well. But I like cooking with Saviour or Sauvignon blanc & Chardonnay white wine with Poultry cornish hens, chicken, turkey, quail, partridges & liqueur like Chambord, Grand Marnier in my French toast cheesecake, Desserts Rum in Eggnog pie
And I simply love bitters over very good vanilla Ice cream.
I’ll go sober for a few weeks it’s amazing how much better I look. I don’t eat junk food and I drink water. However I can get a routine of having a few drinks of club soda, lemon and Tito’s. When I stop and re-start back up the difference in the way I look and feel are unbelievable to me every time.
Gin and tonic drinker myself.
Yup, it’s very dehydrating.
Same for me. But it's also the same for simple sugars, and wild how similarly sugar affects all aspects of your body (including collagen)
Yeah see i never noticed this cuz ive always been so healthy
I love a good old fashioned with a prime sirloin steak with blue cheese and balsamic reduction. Crème brûlée or cheesecake for dessert. Have it every Saturday and look forward to it all week. I’ve dieted my way too much in the past, at almost 50 I’m going to enjoy good food in moderation and I don’t give a fluff anymore!
Thanks for sharing this, have wondered what the scientific impact is on the gut. Be good to understand what causes the ‘hangover’ feeling in the head and impact on brain…👍
Great gut health info 👍
i wish 16 years old me could watch this and actually take it seriously. im 37 now and completely stopped alcohol like 2 years ago. funny alright, but a proctologist recommended it to me, while we were discussing my weight issue, that im mega underweight and always have been. always meaning that for like 20 years i have been trying to gain weight but never stopped getting drunk 2-3 times a week. in my countries culture drinking alcohol every day is perfectly fine. but i moved to the west and now this random proctologist tells me im kind of an alcoholic and im killing my gut, intestines, etc? now im like 2kg-s away of having normal weight - according to BMI..
Thank you
What do you recommend for blastocystis? I've had 4 rounds of antibiotics (metronidazole, 2 rounds of nitazoxanide, and paramomycin), plus several natural treatments with black walnut, wormwood, etc. Nothing is helping. What else can I do?
Can you make a video on diet and lifestyle for people who are planning to stop alcohol consumption and who has already stopped talking.
When he says "alcohol kills bacteria" which everyone already knows, it makes me think of how doing so resets what was there.
Inflammatory like to Inflame as in on fire makes me think that the alcohol burns away what was there.
Pretty interesting stuff.
Really great info. I stopped drinking 3+ years ago and feel 1,000 healthier.
Have you thought about going vegan?
I had to quit drinking because I have realised that I was drinkig way to much, low energy, panick attacks like hell, hole in the budget, almost ended my relantionship!
Life is way more beautiful without alcohol!
Would you please consider discussing the effects of THC on the gut, brain and liver micro biome? Is it less destructive for the gut and is it a “healthier” alternative to alcohol? I have Hashimotos autoimmune and would like to know if it’s less inflammatory than alcohol on the immune system. Thank you for your topic consideration and help!
Yes it has no inflammatory effects
@@Hehawtyragu Not in all cases, some people are very allergic to THC and it couldn't be any more inflammatory.
@@stizz19 okay I obviously meant with people who arnt allergic lol
Here is an alternative for you Jennifer. Stay 100% sober!
@@PeterBornAgainlol
I think people way underestimate what they drink and how it affects them. Working in GI you see the effects of mild-moderate use over time and it is not without consequence on the end organs and co-morbid conditions. One of the saddest things to have to tell someone that is my age is that they now have cirrhosis because they had NAFLD and drank 2-3 glasses of wine nightly. It is being seen in more women and in all people at younger ages.
Thanks for this clips 🙏; please think in a Spanish chanel, will be great for all us 🙏
I dj for a living. I only drink on the weekends. But starting to have nerves in my feet feel weird and what I think is leaky gut 😭
Thanks for this information Dr Andrew Huberman
I wish this had also included the fact that alcohol based gut biome disruption can be result in IBS and other digestive issues. Its alluded to, but not explicit.
so interesting i don't love alcohol and i am getting sleepy when i drink it too, i don't get drunk, i've never had hangover...
i am a cyclist, just for fitness, less than 100 miles a week. every summer when the heat rises, eventually i experienced loose movements. a few years back covid hits, all the bars closed. summer of 2020 no alcohhol, no loose movements. did not ever think to blame alcohol. now i drink 3-4 drinks a month november to march
I have a question about alcohol, percentages and effects of killing bacteria. I know that alcohol of 70% or more can kill bacteria. However, I would never think to pour a beer or wine over an open wound as the alcohol percentage is so low. I also read That alcohol of 10% or less had no effect on bacteria in the mouth. Would the same be true for bacteria in the gut? Would drinking a beer of 6% have the same affect on the gut as drinking a whiskey of 60%?
Thanks
It would be interesting to see if and how fetynal and tch affects, proinflame and disrupt the brains ability to stop using them.
Thanks I found this channel, I have been suffering from arthritis after I got a leaky gut due to the alcohol drinking and GERD I already stopped drinking now I have to find the solution or the right treatment for it no even sure what doctor I have to go yet (any help would be very much appreciated) . My fingers but mostly all my hands tendons hurts like crazy at night time very frustrating. Thanks again for the video.
You may want to watch videos by Anthony William alias Medical Medium.
Stay away from gluten, sugar and vegetable oils.
Just about ready to watch this video but reading some of the comments and it really shows how bad a toxin alcohol really is for the body.i ocassionally have a drink 1 or 2 of a sat nite thinkn it was nice to relax with but an odd mad session every now and then but since turning 40 at December ive just lost all intrest in it i know how my body feels so great after 6 to 8 weeks not drinkn.i know my story isnt bad compared to some here but every bodys body is diff and 6 to 8 weeks i feel some diff.keep going strong and think of your future self and what you want to achieve by quitting
I drove past the liquor store today.... I would have turned in but it seemed like my fussy digestive tract would not stand for it. Then along comes this video!
Not drinking push you off various social situations. And that's good so you can check what life can really offer
I drink a few red wines when out for dinner at a restaurant, maybe once a month. Used to have a couple pints 2-3 times a week and a heavy session every Saturday. I feel so much better now and don’t miss booze at all
I'm in the process if losing my brother to 40 plus years of smoking and alcohol. His liver is damaged causing him liver cancer. He suffered from pancreatitus and had a heart defibrillator something like that implanted on his heart. Now he's only weeks if not days to live. I've a personal vendetta against alcohol abuse and smoking. Plus he had a Terrible diet and used drug's like cocaine meth and heroine. His life was a life gone wrong due to these unhealthy behaviors. I myself am currently going through rectal cancer. However I've never used drug's alcohol and gave at least tried to eat well especially now.🙏
What about the blue zones where they drink alcohol moderately and regularly, e.g sardina etc
Provide me pdf if possible. Thanks and Regards
Yup we’re slowly dying out here trying to do everything on our own. Good luck to everyone who is realizing the vicious cycle and can’t afford help or time off work.
Yep, I don’t like it but so true, I quite drinking and my problems in my gut disappeared. Plain and simple, booze wrecks the gut. Fortunate enough to not care if I drink or not. I drink water at parties ect, no big deal.
Your lucky to have common sense. I know 70 year olds who guzzle antacids by the bottle, pop Omeprazole & buscopan anti gut spasm med daily and yet still can't bring themselves to admit it's the booze.
I somehow feel that as you cut down or as you slow down alcohol, it’s more damaging to you and your health when you suddenly starts consuming them again.
My hangovers are usually only for half a day and I’d be able to function normally after.
Nowadays, even during drinking and halfway drinking, I can feel my gut growling and filled with gasses.
It’s like I’ve suddenly grew out of familiarity with it after cutting or slowing down. Now, everytime I consume alcohol, even at a fraction of what I used to be able to take, I’ll have bad reaction towards it.
I'm regularly at the toilet !ive been over drinking lately just had cancer screening poo on stick came back OK. But I'm loose stools lacking fibre been drinking kefir live culture's to add to gut .Glad came across this information and comments. Trying intermittent fasting and cut out 4 tins a day down to once/ twice week ..when I go out ..
since i have quite large tolerance to alcohol i never drink too much or often since it was quite expensive to get drunk. Have go from hard liquor to red wine and from bottle every 2-3 weeks to every 2-3 months as a health thing. I am only past 30 but older i get less taste for alcohol i have. Always listen to my body and rarely i ended up vomiting (sure not more then 5 times). After drinking always feel the effects for almost 3 days after. The more i negate unhealthy things like oil, bread and processed foods more clearly i feel the lasting negative effects of drinking.
I drink alcohol, at most once a week. I may have a few beers watching a game on the weekend. I usually fast most, if not the whole day after. I do eat fermented foods on a regular basis. Like most things moderation is the key.
Another fermented food low in sugar... Green olives! And they go very well with sauerkraut.
I am a regular at the gym and often paid for my sins at the bar with exercise. I suffered a widow maker heart attack at 49 in otherwise great health. Everyone that knew me was shocked that I would have a heart attack. Alcohol and sugar darn near killed me.
Yep. The two killer toxins. Hope you're doing well now.
Did your father or grandfather have heart problems
@@Dan_Yerlll Great question that everyone should ask about themselves (if possible) from an early age. My father died at age 40 from 'heart attack' in 68. Had type2 diabetes and like everyone then was a smoker. Still, 40?!? Being 100% scandanvian, there are certain things (OA, diabetes, alc., etc.) to which I'm at risk.
I have been off alcohol for about a year, but I am thinking of starting again to kill the bad bacteria in my gut. Maybe I will eat probiotic yogurt to bolster the good ones
what about probiotic alcoholic drinks like unpasteurized makgoeli and sake?
Have you addressed the effect of alcohol use by the elderly?
I haven't had a single drop of any kind of alcoholic beverage in over 14 years. I only liked wine 🍷
Well aren't you special

Thoughts on R1 3 Butanediol AKA "Ketohol"?
You need more drinks to acquire the taste
It took me 1-2 years of drinking everyday. Now I love the taste 🤤
After better sleep. My digestion was the first thing I noticed . Replacing booze with proper gut health has made a big difference .
Drank about a bottle of wine a day for about 30 years. Had two severe diverticular haemmorhages and now stopped drinking and gut so much better
I like drinking 1 mild Gin &Tonic when I get home from work. It makes me feel good. I like feeling good.
The only small red flag I picked up was the statement that alcohol can destroy bacteria in the gut.
I was under the impression that by the time it would take for alcohol or any of its by products to reach
that part of the body the alcohol would have been changed to any of those by products such as acetate.
plus the concentration in the blood isn't high enough to kill bacteria, that's why anti-bacteria wipes are 90%+ solution.
Can you go into more detail like 1oz 2oz of whiskey, vodka, wine, tequila, and a couple of beers. This is supper interesting and I think your into something here.
Same true for polyols?
People should be PROUD to supress the desire to drink and it should be celebrated in song.
how long does it take to repair gut biome upon cessation of drinking?
Generally in agreement with your views on alcohol but I find your analogy lacking. Alcohol use as a disinfectant to really work against microbes, etc generally has to be 70% or higher (if not 90%) from my understanding (COVID brought that into focus). No one except some dudes in the mountains are drinking that percentage (most spirits are capped at 40%). And lemon juice and vinegar have also been used for eons for the same purposes you mention but those are established as very beneficial to the body (but like with almost everything - not in excess). Same goes for alcohol in my view. The human body is robust. If it weren't, humans wouldn't have made the cut.
ok the this has me reconsidering a drink with each sip. but it got me wondering if there's an ABV threshold that wouldnt hurt the gut and b) how about warm foods.. or hot(temp) foods? how harmful is that for your gut microbiome? ... I know these sound like "did he really just ask that?" questions...
