Here's what alcohol abuse can do to your gut and liver health, and these are problems that I'm seeing all the time. Here's what a normal liver should look like, and years of alcohol abuse makes it look like this. It's shrunken. It has a lot of fat deposition. It's scarred. Eventually, it stops working, and that can be irreversible. Alcohol can cause pancreatitis, which is inflammation of the pancreas and hospitalizes people every year. Alcohol can cause gas ritis and ulcers that can cause life threatening bleeding. Alcohol use puts you at risk for the development of cancers in the colon, stomach and esophagus. It's on the rise here in America so always be cognizant about how much alcohol you're intaking. As we go into 2025 make taking care of your gut and liver health one of your resolutions.

One of the main health harms from alcohol, especially heavy alcohol use, is liver damage. The first thing that happens is inflammation of the liver. And when your liver gets inflamed, you start getting fat deposit in the liver. That actually can totally reverse if you stop drinking or you make changes. The amazing thing with the liver. It's a really regenerative organ. But there is a point where you cross the threshold where you can no longer repair the damage, and that's when you get to a stage called cirrhosis. From fat deposition, then you start getting scarring. Your body lays down all the scar tissue because of the chronic inflammation in your liver and when your liver becomes so scarred that it's really stiff and and starts not functioning well that's cirrhosis. I'm seeing people in their early 30s with cirrhosis in the hospital. What? Yes.

Alcohol stops fat loss for twenty four to thirty six hours because it's a toxin. When you ingest it, your liver has to process it right away. Therefore, it does not have time for any of the food you ate before, nor does it have time for the food you eat after. So guess what happens? It pretty much gets stored to fat. the protein you're trying to eat, the protein synthesis goes down, oh, like 60% or something. I only drink three times a year now. Number one, I was drinking two to three times per week. I was under eating during the week and overeating on the weekend and that ended up very fluffy for me. the third thing that was going wrong with me was my thyroid. My thyroid was jacked up and I didn't know. three mistakes that I was making.

Main offender is alcohol. I know that's not the offender in you. But the main offender for liver inflammation is alcohol because it's not the alcohol itself. It's what the alcohol becomes. Alcohol is converted into something called acetaldehyde, which makes your blood pH very low, very acidic, and this irritates the the liver. But don't forget the liver's filtering out everything. The liver is like if you want any organ on team Ryan, you want the liver. Right? It can take over the function of other organs. Main offender is alcohol. I know that's not the offender in you.

Alcohol will make you feel like you are tired and wanna go to sleep, but it doesn't really give you the quality of sleep. It actually prevents the deep sleep. And then we have caffeine. Caffeine, coffee, tea, chocolate can also act as a stimulant. That can prevent sleeping because your liver doesn't have a chance to really detoxify those stimulants. Also, the more exercise you do, the better you're gonna sleep as well.

People drink too much water, disrupting hormonal balance and kidney function. Over the past fifteen years, society has been brainwashed into believing we need eight glasses of water a day, leading to electrolyte dilution and adrenal damage. This creates a stress cycle, forcing the kidneys to hormonally adapt, thus perpetuating the need to drink more water. To break this addiction, one must gradually reduce water intake, listening to the body's thirst cues, and avoid drinking while eating. Cells obtain water from metabolism, not from excessive drinking.

Alcohol has got to be the most common endocrine disruptor in the world. We don't think of it as like a toxin like that because it's not in rocket fuel or firefighting equipment or any of these other toxins. It disrupts pretty much every hormone in our body. Every kind of alcohol? Any kind of alcohol. Most of the studies are done in people who chronically consume alcohol, but it can be small amounts on a chronic basis. It can lower thyroid growth hormone. It raises estrogen, which is okay sometimes, but not if you're a man. It lowers testosterone. It raises cortisol. It damages the pancreas and insulin. Can your body recover from things like that? One thing about our body, it has an incredible regenerative capacity.

Healthy brain tissue is the gray and white matter, you want it to be as plump and like taking up as much space as possible because that's where all of your brain activity is. When people get really old or have dementia, one thing we see is more and more the black space is essentially water. So we see the brain start shrinking and shrinking and there's more water and less active healthy brain tissue. That process is accelerated with heavy alcohol use. And so you can see here, is a 43 year old person with severe alcohol use disorder where their brain looks the way, you know, a nine year old with dementia would look because of that, brain damage over time from alcohol use. Since we can actually, a form of dementia is related to alcohol use, so your brain can be hugely impacted with alcohol.

People drink too much because it's great, but there are reasons to stop. When drunk, people do stupid things, hurt themselves, compromise their health, and negatively affect those around them. They may become liars, and it can ruin their lives. While drinking can be fun, people need something better, like adventure. A substitute for addiction is having something to do and something worth waking up for.

Tylenol, or acetaminophen, can severely damage the liver, leading to nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. It dissolves liver tissue, impairing liver function and increasing fat accumulation. In the UK and the US, many liver transplants result from Tylenol overdoses, especially around the holidays when teenagers often misuse it. One Tylenol can cause as much liver damage as six pints of beer. Combining Tylenol with alcohol significantly multiplies the damage. It's crucial to avoid taking Tylenol if consuming alcohol, even for headaches. Additionally, high-sugar products, particularly those with high fructose corn syrup, can worsen fatty liver, with Diet Coke being more harmful than regular Coke due to its chemicals.

When you ingest alcohol, you are, yes, ingesting a poison. There are three main types of alcohol. There's isopropyl, methyl, and ethyl alcohol, and only ethyl alcohol or ethanol is fit for human consumption. However, it is still toxic. It produces substantial stress and damage to cells. When you ingest ethanol, it has to be converted into something else because it is toxic to the body. And there's a molecule inside of all of us called NAD. NAD are involved in converting that ethanol into something called acetaldehyde. And if you thought ethanol was bad, acetaldehyde is particularly bad. Acetaldehyde is poison. It will kill cells. It damages and kills cells and is indiscriminate as to which cells it damages and kills. Now that's a problem.

Regular alcohol consumption significantly impacts individuals, often without their awareness. Many people are conditioned to associate alcohol with social interactions due to cultural norms, leading to ingrained neural pathways that connect drinking with identity. Alcohol is a neurotoxin that damages the brain, disrupts sleep, and contributes to mental health issues like anxiety and depression. It is linked to numerous physical ailments, including cancer, and can hinder personal productivity and relationships. Research, such as a study by Professor Kevin Moore, shows that taking a break from alcohol can lead to substantial health improvements, including weight loss and increased happiness. Many individuals use alcohol to numb emotional pain or dissatisfaction in their lives, which can mask underlying issues that need addressing. Sobriety can catalyze significant life changes, revealing the true reasons behind drinking habits. The societal expectation to drink creates peer pressure, making it challenging for individuals to change their relationship with alcohol. However, sobriety movements and alcohol-free alternatives are becoming more accessible, allowing people to feel included without drinking. The conversation around alcohol needs to shift, recognizing its harmful effects and promoting healthier lifestyles. Community support is crucial for those seeking to change their drinking habits. Engaging with like-minded individuals can provide encouragement and reduce feelings of isolation. Programs like One Year No Beer offer structured challenges to help individuals reassess their relationship with alcohol, emphasizing that change is possible without hitting rock bottom. Awareness is key to behavior change. Tools like journaling and wearables can help individuals track their alcohol consumption and its effects on their health. Ultimately, the goal is to cultivate a healthier lifestyle, where individuals can enjoy life without relying on alcohol.

They Lied About Alcohol’s Effect On Your Brain! Here’s The Proof | Dr. Sarah Wakeman

Guests: Dr. Sarah Wakeman

reSee.it Podcast Summary

Dr. Sarah Wakeman, a Harvard professor and addiction expert, discusses the significant health risks associated with alcohol consumption, emphasizing that even moderate drinking can lead to increased cancer risks. She highlights that one in three people may face alcohol-related issues in their lifetime, with 2.6 million annual deaths globally attributed to alcohol. The conversation delves into the genetic and trauma-related factors driving substance use, noting that 40-60% of addiction risk is genetic, while trauma plays a crucial role. Wakeman critiques current addiction treatment approaches, arguing that many rehabs lack effective evidence-based methods. She aims to change public perception of addiction, advocating for a compassionate understanding of the issue rather than viewing it as a moral failing. The definition of addiction includes loss of control, compulsive use, negative consequences, and cravings, with various substances, including alcohol and drugs, capable of causing addiction. The pandemic exacerbated addiction rates, with a notable increase in substance use and related deaths. Wakeman stresses that trauma is a primary driver of addiction, often leading individuals to seek relief through substances. She emphasizes the importance of connection and community in recovery, suggesting that the opposite of addiction is not sobriety but connection. Wakeman shares her personal connection to addiction, having lost a family member to it, and discusses the emotional toll on families dealing with addiction. She advocates for a shift in language surrounding addiction, promoting person-first terminology to reduce stigma. The conversation also touches on the need for effective treatment options, including medications and therapy, and the potential of psychedelics in treating addiction. Wakeman highlights the importance of addressing early childhood trauma and building resilience to prevent addiction. She discusses the societal changes needed to support individuals struggling with addiction, such as improving access to treatment and reframing addiction as a health issue rather than a criminal one. The discussion concludes with a focus on the significance of empathy and understanding in supporting those affected by addiction, both personally and professionally.

What Alcohol Does to Your Body, Brain & Health

reSee.it Podcast Summary

In this episode of the Huberman Lab Podcast, Andrew Huberman discusses the effects of alcohol on biology, behavior, and health. He highlights that both humans and animals consume alcohol for various reasons, including recreation and medicinal purposes. The episode covers the biological impact of alcohol, including its effects on brain function, behavior, and the potential health implications of low to moderate drinking versus abstaining entirely. Huberman emphasizes that high alcohol consumption (12-24 drinks per week) is linked to neurodegeneration, particularly in the neocortex, which is crucial for memory and planning. A recent study involving over 35,000 adults found that even low to moderate drinking (1-2 drinks per day) may lead to thinning of the neocortex, indicating that chronic low-level alcohol intake can still disrupt brain health. The podcast also addresses the genetic factors influencing alcohol consumption and the risks associated with drinking at a young age, which can lead to long-term dependence. Huberman aims to provide listeners with the knowledge to make informed decisions about alcohol consumption, whether to abstain or drink in moderation. Huberman explains the chemistry of alcohol, noting that ethanol is toxic and must be metabolized into acetaldehyde, which is even more harmful. This process can lead to cellular damage and is linked to various health issues, including cancer risk. Alcohol disrupts the gut microbiome, leading to inflammation and potentially increasing cravings for more alcohol. The episode discusses the physiological effects of alcohol, including its impact on the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, which regulates stress hormones. Regular drinkers may experience increased baseline cortisol levels, leading to heightened stress and anxiety when not drinking. Huberman stresses that while alcohol may provide temporary relief from stress, it ultimately exacerbates stress levels over time. Huberman also covers the phenomenon of hangovers, which result from disrupted sleep, dehydration, and gut microbiome imbalance. He suggests that consuming electrolytes, fermented foods, and engaging in deliberate cold exposure may help alleviate hangover symptoms. Tolerance to alcohol is explained as a process where repeated exposure diminishes the positive effects of alcohol while increasing negative feelings, leading to a cycle of increased consumption. Huberman warns that even moderate drinking can have detrimental effects on health, including increased cancer risk, particularly breast cancer, due to alcohol's impact on DNA methylation and hormonal balance. The episode concludes with a discussion on the importance of understanding the risks associated with alcohol consumption, particularly for those with a family history of alcoholism or those who start drinking at a young age. Huberman encourages listeners to consider the long-term effects of alcohol on their health and to explore healthier coping mechanisms for stress and social situations.
