I love these two doctors! So smart, so scientifically presented. They read the studies and they have a practice. You can’t beat that.

Oh my god, Dr. Ayesha just dropped a gold nugget for me. I use to have acid reflux but continue to drink coffee. I cut the coffee out and now the symptom is way less. Nic.e

[@SuperFoodParents]

🗣Don't drink but if you do, here's what you should know. Kudos to both Dean and Ayesha Sherzai for taking the best approach to meet people where they are

[@TeeGar]

I experience shrinkage, but not from alcohol. Its usually after swimming in cold water.

[@deniseriner7165]

Great informative video! Thanks for keeping us informed and for all you do. 😊

[@wesleyp3024]

you can to reverse advanced altimeters. ive seen it done where someone switched to a all raw foods diet with no salt oil or sugar and no fake sugars. they also started fasting once a month for 7 days and after a few years they were as good as new. and guess what? it was all free!

[@RipNTara]

Can't decide if I'm glad or upset that you told me this two days before Saint Patrick's day.

[@LifeAgentScottNJ]

Be glad please

Love it!

[@paulamoors]

I love this family and your children are awesome.

[@terrileeg03]

All that ☝🏻and they answer your questions on social media ❤️

[@dic2504]

The response when they posted "no alcohol" on their social media sites was alarming! So many angry people!! Crazy! Please keep stating the facts.

[@carinaekstrom1]

But Dr. Cambell did not say all meat is equal overall, he was specifically speaking of animal proteins from different animals.

[@SagaciousSix]

Read the video title out loud, please, and then edit. 🙏

[@Wearephuct-O]

LOL, yes, coincidence/mistake or humor?

[@Hisloyalservantslistenlove613c]

1.Hot beverages can be damaging to the esophagus 2.caffeine is a drug 3.alcohol is a drug 4.alcohol is a processed product 5. B12 that’s already added to a food product is most likely safer than in a capsule or tablet 6. There is an ancient saying…”what can hurt you in large quantities can hurt you in small amounts.” 7.green tea contains caffeine

[@dovaillancourt]

We have to account microplastics in the fish also.

[@vthomas375]

In fruit and vegatables too, there's now no avoiding microplastics.

[@betzib8021]

So they are saying even one glass of wine a day hurts your brain?

[@annemccarron2281]

Yes!

[@paulamoors]

I’m also a struggling alcoholic

[@betzib8021]

Since I was a child I cannot sleep . I wake up 4 times and then sometimes 6. I have never slept through a night.

[@FiberFairy22]

It’s so crazy that Dr. Dale Bredesen is training docs right now by the hundreds to talk about KETO FOR BRAIN HEALTH!!! And he has major universities backing him with labs that carry his name - UCLA, UCSF etc!!! What the heck is even happening n our country!

[@jessicabender1301]

Ketosis doesn’t have to mean keto diet. Rather, it can be done with time restricted feeding or fasting. His book details that. His protocol discusses this. There is benefit of ketosis, but this can be added benefit with a whole food plant based diet by using fasting/time restricts feeding

[@FiberFairy22]

@@jessicabender1301 agreed! Unfortunately, the only memory care I’ve found that follows the Bredesen protocol is very animal meat and bacon-heavy which is sad to me. Perhaps improper interpretation!?! Thanks for your reply!

[@grandpa1011]

Did an alcoholic write this title?

[@Wearephuct-O]

Why wrong with what's it ?

[@richyakuoko2360]

@Wearephuct they wrote Does alcohol shrinks your brain. Instead of Does alcohol shrink your brain. They added an s. It's shrink not shrinks.

[@Wearephuct-O]

A sardinian drank red wine almost every day and he lived to 101.

[@Sabrina-qf5xf]

Definitely! The Sherzai team is familiar with the blue zones and Dan Buettner's work. The wine that that blue zone (Sardinia) drinks is cannonau wine, which is higher in flavonoid content (antioxidants) and is drunk surrounded by friends and in a low stress environement :) I think the overall advice of not starting drinking if you don't already and considering limiting your overall consumption is spot on with the way the blue zone folks live.

[@VRCM_Skywarn_XUSA]

What did he die of...90 years of intoxicated uselessness? Bet he was the backbone of the community. Never met or heard of a useful drunk.

[@ds654]

If they had never drank alcohol, they could have lived to 125. Just kidding.

[@Magnulus76]

@@Sabrina-qf5xf Yup, that's the general medical advice. Don't start drinking if you don't drink already. Alcohol is not a superfood.

[@carinaekstrom1]

Imagine how long he would have lived without that then.
