In this episode, I tackle the effects of alcohol consumption on your body and discover strategies to drink wisely while minimizing the downsides. I am joined by the insightful Sara Banta, owner of Accelerated Health Products and host of Accelerated Health Radio and TV. Sara's personal journey started when she hit rock bottom, facing Crohn's disease, hormonal issues, PCOS, and heavy-metal toxicity. Determined to find answers and solutions outside of Western medicine, she uncovered traditional remedies that truly worked for her. Along the way, she received a life-altering wake-up call when her 9-year-old son was diagnosed with leukemia. This pivotal moment ignited Sara's calling to shed light on the world of natural health. In this episode, Sara and I dive deep into the effects of alcohol on the body, including its impact on the liver, digestion, hormonal health, and other vital functions. Together, we provide actionable strategies to help you drink with wisdom, such as reducing intake, tracking consumption, and resetting habits. Sara emphasizes the crucial role of a healthy liver in overall health and weight management, sharing insights into how you can support the liver with specific supplements and foods. Whether you regularly consume alcohol or simply want to make informed decisions about drinking, this episode is a must-listen. Join me as we explore the significance of mindful food choices, the power of regular exercise, and the transformative impact of a positive mindset. Plus, be sure to take advantage of the special offer for a free group coaching session with Sara. Let’s dive in.
