Luscious Paleo

These are pictures of me taken at ages 34, 46 and 56 (These photos are out of order).

Want to guess my age in each picture?

Hint: One was when I was on the standard American diet, and had gut health, weight and skin issues.

The most recent podcast I did. Thanks

You brush your teeth two times a day, floss two times as well, then use mouthwash, for minty breath. All good, right?

All but the mouthwash, as it kills both good and bad bacteria in your mouth.

Some of these good bacteria help produce nitric oxide, which keep your blood vessel walls flexible and your blood pressure low.

(Note: for men, be particularly careful of mouthwash, since it kills the bacteria that produce nitric oxide. And nitric oxide is critical for achieving and maintaining erections.)

Have high blood pressure or don’t want to get it?

Don’t use mouthwash.

(Mouthwash has also been linked to higher rates of diabetes, sepsis and oral cancer risk as well.)

Instead, try sucking on whole cloves throughout the day, (which contains the essential oil eugenol).

This oil kills the bad bacteria that causes cavities and bad breath, without killing the good guys.

Congrats on your new sobriety! You did what many people struggle to do their whole lives.

Now what’s going on with your brain and the incessant cravings for sugar?

If you’d like to lessen this constant chatter and feel more in control, this short term program is great for you.

This program goes into:

*the science behind the hijacking of neurotransmitters and neural pathways during drinking,

*how the brain recalibrates after alcohol is no longer there,

*and what you can do to help reset the brain during this tough time.

You may know dopamine levels are disregulated during drinking and afterwards, but did you know that serotonin, GABA, endorphins, cortisol, glutamate and others are also completely wacky?

This program helps to reset these neurotransmitters, discusses anhedonia, and also how to manage 24/7 sugar cravings.

(PS There is one culprit that you aren’t going to believe may be responsible for your unrelenting urges).

Below in the comments is the replay from yesterday! I go into my diagnosis of RP (retinitis pigmentosa) in the first 15 minutes.
