Heal your second brain!

Your gut is known as your second brain and it's been damaged if you have had any long-term relationship with alcohol. The microbial communities in your microbiome have been compromised.

Your gut is connected to your brain by the Vagus nerve and is a critical conduit for neurotransmitter precursors and some neurotransmitters are delivered to your brain via this nerve.

Why do we relapse? I am not talking about relapsing back to drinking, although I believe this subject can certainly help with that. I am speaking today about nutritional relapse. We have all done this, including me.

Nutritional relapse is where we throw caution to the wind and kinda go for it. That is... knowingly eating the wrong food at exactly the wrong time with the understanding as we are shoveling it in the end consequences.

Why should you listen?

So over the years, I have gone back and forth on the cases for AUD or the misuse of ethanol and drinking. There are so many roads people go down because of the various information received in the last 100 or so years and the various ways mankind has tried to impede or even eradicate Alcohol Use from Temperance to Disease.

Nutritional Yeast in Recovery. Yeast. All types of things come to mind. Some are not so pleasant. I want to introduce you or perhaps re-introduce you to one of the greatest friends of folks who want to boost their nutrition and, greater still, to those of your who are in recovery.

Have you ever been in mixed recovery company and mentioned the group and support affiliation you belong to? As soon as you said something, you said to yourself, " uh oh, Momma said never....?" Why is it so difficult to talk about our road to recovery and accept the other roads people are on ?

You won't have motivation before action. Action determines the level of motivation. you do something because you have to. All plans for Nutritional Recovery contain one single element that is the key to real change. It is not what you might expect either. We all have the base knowledge that we should not eat eight slices of pizza with a 32oz. cola and chase that with a bowl of ice cream just to eat an hour later on some chicken wings and a drink at the bar.....Or that we really should not hit the buffet line 3 times in a sitting because we want to get our money's worth. We all know these truths to be self-evident. That all foods ARE NOT created equal. What is the WHY for you ?
