Episode 311: What Actually Happens to Your Body in 31 Days Without Alcohol
What happens to your gut when you stop drinking alcohol? What happens to your skin? Your liver, your heart, your blood pressure, your brain’s gray matter?
If the effects of taking a break from alcohol were bottled in a pill, pharmaceutical companies would make BILLIONS.
In this episode, I go deep on what happens to your body on a physiological level when you don’t drink for a month. The perks go on and on: think less bloating, inflammation, better digestion, AND nutrient absorption.
IN THIS EPISODE:
The shocking science behind what happens in just 31 days without alcohol, from your gut microbiome transforming in days, to your skin visibly glowing within weeks
My own personal journey in lowering my blood pressure and cholesterol by eliminating alcohol, which was far more effective than my “miracle” tea and wellness hacks
How you can start regenerating brain cells, boost your focus, memory, and mental clarity, and unlock your creativity
Proof that your body is a healing machine and that you can lower your C-reactive protein, repair your liver, and see your cancer markers plummet
REFLECTION QUESTION
Do you track any of your biometrics? What are some aspects of your health you’d like to improve that going alcohol-free could help with?
“How cool that within just a few days without alcohol – and then definitely by four weeks – you're already changing your microbiome and already promoting that healthier flora, the healthier bacteria. Why is this important? For those of us who are not on the trend bus, it's like 70% of our immune response is in our gut, right? That's where our immune response lives.” - Karolina
“Alcohol blocks our nutrients, it stimulates our appetite, it is calories, obviously. And the body has to detox alcohol first. It can't detox the protein and the fat you ate in the meal. If there's alcohol in the system, the body has to prioritize getting rid of the alcohol because it's a literal poison to the body.” - Karolina
