In this episode, Dr. Rodney and Karen tackle a difficult topic about the impact of alcohol your body and particularly your brain.
New research shows that alcohol disrupts your gut health because it kills beneficial bacteria, potentially causing leaky gut syndrome and triggering inflammatory responses that affect your liver and brain
This is of particular concern to women because regular alcohol consumption can alter hormonal balance, increase estrogen levels and potentially raise cancer risk, especially for breast cancer
Unfortunately, even low levels of alcohol consumption can have a negative impact on brain structure by reducing overall brain volume and can affect the integrity of gray and white matter
You may be saying to yourself that people drink alcohol and seem to still live to a ripe old age. Keep in mind that in the Blue Zones those referenced grow their own grapes, make their own wine and make a small glass of wine part of their social tapestry. All of these are factors as you give yourself a gut check.
