Are you skipping the wine tonight?  You start the morning off feeling foggy and run down so you pop a few painkillers and get on with your day.  Last night's empty wine bottle and the headache are behind you and you don’t give it another thought.  By the time your workday is done you’ve completely forgotten about how awful you felt earlier and the promise you made.  So you pour yourself a glass of wine to unwind...and before you know it the evening has slipped away and you’re right back where you were the next morning. Your brain isn’t ‘forgetting’ the promise you made...it simply can’t HEAR it.  Because it’s listening to a much LOUDER biochemical conversation going on.  A conversation between imbalanced neurons and neurochemicals that are telling the brain that it better act quickly to bring about a feeling of relaxation otherwise things are really going to get out of control fast (anxiety, frustration, irritability, argumentativeness...you know the feelings).   And because your primal brain likes routine and taking the path of least resistance you feel trapped in the nightly cycle. But it doesn’t have to stay that way…  In just a few weeks of eating right for her brain, 'Jane' went from watching the clock round to 4 o'clock and starting her wine ritual to: “I don’t have any cravings for alcohol. I’m feeling a million times better. It’s been a big shift”. ‘Jane’ D. That is why I put together this free training where I share with you how to quiet that ‘loudspeaker’ so you too can get out of the nightly wine routine. On the training you’re going to learn:  >> How the ‘pseudo’ foods you’re consuming have neurotoxic effects that work to trigger the imbalances and impulse messaging in the brain. >> What foods and chemicals you’ve been exposed to that mimic alcohol’s effects in the brain and work to keep you in the trap (even when you’ve taken a break) and how you can identify them. >> How a dysregulated gut microbiome and the enteric nervous system—your gut-brain is contributing to the messaging in your head-brain and working to keep you trapped. The training is Wednesday, September 30th @ 4:00  pm Mountain Time.  Link in Bio to register https://www.instagram.com/p/CFu2qZjD873/?igshid=cmedcfkl19f2

“The rate of alcohol use disorder in women increased 84% over the past decade in comparison with a 35% increase in men.” ⁣ ⁣ These statistics are SCARY, but very common.⁣ ⁣ “Compared with men, women generally have less body water and a higher proportion of fat, which does not absorb alcohol, resulting in higher blood alcohol concentration (BAC) levels, even when the amount of alcohol consumed is adjusted for body weight. In addition, women tend to have lower levels of gastric alcohol dehydrogenase, the enzyme that breaks down ethanol into its metabolites. Thus, BAC levels rise faster and stay elevated longer in women than men. It has been speculated that these sex-related differences underlie why women can develop health-related consequences, including cirrhosis of the liver, earlier in their disease and after lower total lifetime alcohol consumption than men.”⁣ ⁣ If you know that your evening wine is getting out of hand and you want to get it under control, join me and other motivated career women in the Anchored Abstinence for the Modern Career Woman facebook community.

Studies have shown that women with higher levels of estrogen which occurs during the follicular phase (the first 14 days following the start of their period) of their menstrual cycle become more sensitive to the addictive effects of alcohol due to its impact on the brain’s reward centre. Alcohol becomes MUCH more ‘rewarding’ (increase in the activity of dopamine and alcohol sensitive brain cells) when estrogen levels are high (2017). ⁣ ⁣ Lignans which are a type of phytoestrogen found in foods like cucumbers have been shown to exhibit anti-estrogenic activities. The phytoestrogens are estrogen-like compounds that work to bind to estrogen receptors and help regulate estrogen levels in the body. The lignans also act as antioxidants to lower inflammatory markers.⁣ ⁣ If you’re curious about the role of the right nutrition can play in improving your brain health in abstinencne then you won’t want to miss my upcoming free webclass.

Radishes are crisp and peppery tasting making them a great addition to a salad or as a snack on their own. They also contain a good source of #anthocyanins, a flavonoid antioxidant that provides plant pigment. ⁣ ⁣ But what is super cool about this root vegetable is that the anthocyanins can cross the blood-brain-barrier and distribute in the cerebellum, cortex, hippocampus and striatum - the areas of the brain that are susceptible #alcohol exposure, where they have neuroprotective effects (2009). ⁣ ⁣ The #radish anthocyanins and their metabolites area able to scavenge alcohol-induced reactive oxygen species (#free-radicals) and improve and relieve the #alcohol-induced damaged to the #brain and central nervous system including lipid peroxidation (oxidative stress), inhibition of neuronal differentiation (cell form and function) and spatial memory deficits. ⁣ ⁣ If you’re curious about the role the right nutrition can play in improving your brain health in recovery then you won’t want to miss my upcoming free webclass.

Another reason to get excited about spinach! It helps to maintain abstinence. ⁣ ⁣ Opioid receptors in the brain play a role in the development and maintenance of alcohol use disorder. ⁣ ⁣ Alcohol stimulates the release of opioid peptides in brain regions that are associated with reward and reinforcing effects of alcohol. ⁣ ⁣ The rubiscolin peptides found in spinach work in a similar way to cross the blood-brain barrier and activate the known beneficial pathways in the brain without activating the negative side-effect pathways (reinforcement) of the opioid receptors (2020). These peptides are so powerful that researchers are looking at them to form synthetic medicines to treat alcohol use disorder.⁣ ⁣ This is fresh spinach from our garden and we love it steamed and served with apple cider vinegar! But the next time you make a smoothie you may want to add some fresh spinach to the mix and get⁣ happy! https://www.instagram.com/p/CDe5SfiDJTi/?igshid=1kqj7tjk4bzfq

“The current review considered the contribution of the endocrine system to alcohol drinking and addiction-related behaviors in females, with a focus on the HPG and HPA axes and their reciprocal interactions. The majority of results from preclinical models indicate that females acquire self-administration of alcohol more rapidly and consume higher alcohol doses during maintenance phases than males (2020).”⁣ ⁣ If you are ready to break the habit and start living in a way that keeps you excited, happy, energized and focused without all of the negative effects of alcohol then you won’t want to miss tonight's free webclass.

Ready to change your relationship with wine? The regular consumption of wine or cocktails has wide spreading effects on the mind and body of women. These effects can include the sensation of tingling (pin and needles) or numbness in the hands, arms, legs or feet, dizziness, anemia (low-iron), fatigue, depression, mouth sores, mood changes or impaired cognition (acquiring knowledge) and memory. These symptoms can occur as a result of elevated levels of homocysteine (hyperhomocysteinemia) in the body and brain and the resulting cell damage. Vitamin B12 acts as a cofactor in transformation pathways for homocysteine metabolism working to maintain its balance. When B12 is deficient hyperhomocysteinemia can occur. Daily wine or cocktails reduces the absorption of Vitamin B12 through a decrease in intrinsic factor and stomach acid resulting in a deficiency of B12 (2016). ⁣ ⁣ Lamb is a wonderful source of Vitamin B12 containing as much as 105% of the daily recommended amount. It is also a good source of iron.⁣ ⁣ If you’re ready to dump the low moods and get back your energy while you become free of the cycle of wine and cocktails be sure to join me live on The Fail-Proof Method Smart Women Use To Change Their Relationship With Wine...from the privacy of their kitchen free webclass on Tuesday, July 28 @ 6:00 pm MDT. ⁣ ⁣ Register and save yourself a spot so you can get exclusive access to learning what 3 ‘Not-So-Secret’ Ingredients can change the game for you and get access to your personal quiz What’s Your Experience with Alcohol Really Telling You, that will reveal to you which metabolic imbalance is keeping you stuck in the habit and what you can do to change it. ⁣ ⁣ Link to register for this free training is in my bio. ⁣ https://www.instagram.com/p/CC88dKOj0iO/?igshid=8f4izvc3l8iv

If you have ever grown zucchini you know that it is easy to grow and can produce an abundance of beautiful summer squash. But did you also know that it can help improve your memory, especially in the case of alcohol-induced memory loss? ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Zucchini and particularly the green outer skin is loaded with the carotenoid lutein. Lutein is a powerful antioxidant that can prevent neurodegenerative diseases and cognitive deficits. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Regular alcohol intake creates a memory deficit and increases acetylcholinesterase activity. Acetylcholinesterase acts to terminate neurotransmissions (transmission of chemicals from one brain cell to another). One study has shown that lutein reduced the alcohol-induced memory deficit as well as acetylcholinesterase activity induced by alcohol (2019). ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ And as an added bonus this powerful antioxidant also protects against alcohol-induced liver injury (2012).⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ These zucchini fritters are super tasty and maybe just the thing to help you remember why you have taken the wine and cocktails out of your diet. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Want to get access to the zucchini fritter recipe and so many more free resources that are helping women to change their relationship with wine or cocktails?
