Short spoken excerpt from a YouTube video by Dr. Tabatha Barber explaining that alcohol affects multiple body systems immediately upon ingestion. The speaker states alcohol damages the gastric mucosa, causes leaky gut, disrupts the gut microbiome (promoting bacterial and yeast overgrowth), is metabolized into sugars that feed yeast and bad bacteria, and impacts blood sugar and the liver.
It's not just affecting your brain, it's affecting multiple systems. As soon as alcohol enters your body, so as soon as you drink it, your stomach and your intestines are affected. It destroys your gastric mucosa and causes leaky gut. It also kills off your good microbiome, so you are prone to gut dysbiosis, meaning bad bacterial overgrowth, yeast overgrowth. Problems like that. Yeast Love alcohol. Alcohol gets broken down into sugars that feed yeast and bad bacteria. So it affects your blood sugar, it affects your liver.
