Alcohol's Impact on Brain Health with Expert Dr. Lisa Parsons (Part 1)

EP 41 - This week's guest is Dr. Lisa Parsons, a psychiatrist from Amen Clinics. We discuss the effects of alcohol and sometimes other substances on the brain and how neurological pathways get changed around, and what we can do about those things to see peak brain health. I was stunned at the amount of things that substances to to our brain and our body.

And remember, the brain is the entire operating system for everything that functions in our life. We definitely want to know how what we put into our body is affecting this operating system. In this episode we talk about what the chemical impact is on this organ of ours and the effect on neurotransmitters. This is part one of two - part two is where we go over to the results of my own brain scan!
