Alcohol, Serotonin, and Your Gut

🧠 Neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine are vital for mood regulation… and our gastrointestinal tract plays a key role in the production of both.

THE BAD NEWS?
👎 Alcohol disrupts our gut. Big time.

Alcohol is a disinfectant.
We literally use it in cleaning products to kill germs. 🚫

…so, *of course* it is a major disruption for our gut microbiome.

Alcohol interrupts important gut functions like regulating our immune system and producing important neurotransmitters… not to mention digestion and nutrient absorption.

READY FOR THE GOOD NEWS?
👍 Taking a break from booze gives your system a chance to clear out and ::reset::

Your body will eventually rebalance—gut function will improve—and the pharmacy in your mind will start restocking the shelves with serotonin and other important chemicals. 📈

Your body and mind are incredibly resilient!
You just need to give ‘em a chance to heal.

Take a break…
Your body will thank you.
