A short conversational episode featuring Dr. Tabatha Barber discussing New Year’s resolutions focused on breaking addictions to sugar and alcohol. The speakers characterize sugar and alcohol as socially acceptable addictions that affect neurochemistry and hormones, and promise discussion of why people become addicted and practical steps to 'break free.'
You are listening after the New Year. So I have no doubt you made some kind of New Year's resolution. Hopefully you listened to our episode last week about New Year's resolutions. Because the truth is, a lot of us need to break up with some strongholds. Can we just be honest today?
Yeah.
Two main.
Two main things, I think.
What are they?
Sugar and alcohol.
Ooh, Okay. I might get a lot of hate mail for this.
That's all right.
Maybe not the sugar, but definitely the alcohol. But if you partied hard and enjoyed the New Year, then you're. You may be ready to hear this. But maybe you went to bed at 9 o' clock because you can't even tolerate alcohol anymore. So I think everybody needs to listen to this episode, right?
Yeah, that's true. Because you know what? This is coming out that Monday after the everyone goes back to work. This is the after work episode. Like, everyone's back, back to reality today.
Yes, we're back to reality. And let's just talk about the truth about alcohol and sugar is they are a socially acceptable addiction. I know that some, you know, drug addicts, other addicts, they sometimes don't want us to put sugar and alcohol on the same level, but it hits the same chemistry. So we're going to talk about that. We're going to talk about why you are addicted to sugar and alcohol and what it does to your neurochemistry, to your hormones, and more importantly, how to break free from it. Because I think the new year is the perfect time to just give it one last chance. And I say last because I want this to be done and finished. Right?
Yes, exactly.
