👉 Today on the Gut Health Reset Podcast, we are discussing how alcohol affects your gut health in unexpected ways with Dr. Brooke Scheller! Most people are aware that drinking alcohol can have negative consequences for their health, but many are unaware of the specific ways in which it can damage their bodies. Drinking alcohol can hurt your body's microbiome, the collection of beneficial bacteria that live in your gut. This can lead to gut permeability, or "leaky gut," which allows undigested food particles and toxins to enter the bloodstream, leading to inflammation and other issues. Finally, alcohol consumption can trigger an immune response in the gut, which can worsen autoimmune symptoms. For all these reasons, it is important to be mindful of how much alcohol you consume, and why abstaining from alcohol or limiting intake to moderate levels is essential for maintaining a healthy gut microbiome.

💡 In today’s episode, we will answer these questions: why should you cut alcohol out of your diet, how can wine trigger acid reflux, what happens to the microbiome when you’re consuming a lot of alcohol, how can alcohol affect autoimmune diseases, what steps can you take to change your relationship with alcohol, where can you find useful, non-alcoholic drink recipes, and more!

💡 In today’s episode, you will learn why eating a diverse range of plants is important for gut health, the practical ways you can increase the amount of plants in your diet, the benefits you will see by diversifying your diet with veggies, Dr. Rossi’s “plant point” system, and more!
