EP 41 – Brain Health and Alcohol: Understanding the Impact
This week’s guest is Dr. Lisa Parsons, a psychiatrist from Amen Clinics. We dive into Brain Health and Alcohol, exploring how alcohol and sometimes other substances affect the brain and change its neurological pathways. These changes can have long-term consequences, and understanding them is key to achieving peak brain health.
I was stunned by the extent to which substances impact our brain and body. Brain Health and Alcohol are deeply connected, and it’s important to recognize how what we put into our bodies can disrupt our brain’s delicate operating system. In this episode, we discuss the chemical impacts of alcohol on the brain and how it influences neurotransmitters.
This episode is part one of two—stay tuned for part two, where we reveal the results of my own brain scan! Understanding Brain Health and Alcohol from both a scientific and personal perspective will provide valuable insights for listeners seeking to protect their brain health.
