Mindsip insights from this episode:
Limit alcohol consumption to one drink daily for lower mortality risk
Consumption of up to one drink per day is associated with a 24% lower risk of all-cause mortality.
Recognize acetaldehyde levels in vegetables as potential toxins
Many vegetables and ciders naturally contain more of the toxin acetaldehyde than wine or vodka, highlighting that the dose, not the substance, is the poison.
Avoid pre-drinking DHM to enhance alcohol's relaxing effects
Taking the supplement DHM before drinking blocks alcohol's effect on GABA receptors, preventing you from feeling the relaxing effects and potentially causing you to drink more.
Time detox binder correctly to maximize supplement effectiveness
If you take a binder like charcoal, wait at least 30-60 minutes after other supplements like DHM, as the binder will absorb them and make them ineffective.
Utilize Zbiotics to combat hangovers effectively
Zbiotics is a genetically engineered probiotic that produces an enzyme in your gut to break down acetaldehyde, a toxic byproduct of alcohol.
Create healthy cocktails with vinegar shrubs
You can create a healthy cocktail base called a vinegar shrub by fermenting a one-to-one ratio of fruit, sugar, and vinegar.
Experience social relaxation with alcohol-free ketone drinks
Ketone drinks containing 1,3-Butanediol, such as those from Ketone Aid, can offer similar socially lubricating and relaxing effects as alcohol without the toxicity.
Choose French, New Zealand, and Italian wines for safer dining
When dining out, wines from France, New Zealand, and Italy are generally safer choices as they often follow old-world organic and biodynamic methods.
