The brain and the alcohol detox process

In these uncertain times, it's essential to have enough GABA (neurotransmitter). Alcohol disrupts your brain’s ability to produce enough GABA which is needed to help you sleep, as well as reduce stress and anxiety. This is why it's important to increase your GABA intake when you are on the DMD detox. The brain of a person who drinks regularly has a more difficult time managing their stress, anxiety, and weight. The detox process helps the brain re-learn the function to produce GABA without the presence of alcohol.

If you’re worried that someone you know has an alcohol addiction, it’s best to approach them in a supportive way. Avoid shaming them or making them feel guilty. This could push them away and make them more resistant to receiving help. Invite them to join you in a DMD customized Detox to improve overall health and reduce unwanted body fat.

An important part of the DMD Detox will require casual alcohol users, wanting to get rid of excess belly fat and feel better, to stop drinking for 21 days. Cravings will be reduced by adding GABA as well as our proprietary blend of other natural supplements that are known to affect GABA activity such as L-arginine, kava, passionflower, and American ginseng.

GABA is Found Naturally in Certain Healthy Foods.

GABA can be found in green, black, and oolong tea, as well as in fermented foods including kefir, yogurt, and tempeh. Other foods that contain GABA or may boost its production in the body include:

whole grains, fava beans, soy, lentils, and other beans
nuts including walnuts, almonds, and sunflower seeds
fish including shrimp and halibut
citrus, tomatoes, berries, spinach, broccoli, potatoes, and cocoa

If you enjoy wine and cocktails, but are wanting to reduce unwanted belly fat, it would be my honor to point you in the right direction.

What if Abstinence From Alcohol becomes too unbearable?

Be aware of these symptoms of withdrawal from alcohol:

Physically shaking
Anxiety
Jumpiness
Insomnia
headaches
Irritable
Rapid heartbeat
Breathing rate
Confusion

If abstaining from alcohol for 21 days creates withdrawal symptoms, a person may feel that they must drink alcohol to feel normal, not overly anxious, calm in social settings, or to get to sleep.

In some cases, I would suggest seeking inpatient detox options. Eliminating withdrawal symptoms by drinking more and more alcohol is very dangerous.

You don't have to struggle alone. For more information on the DMD (DETOX) text your name and questions anytime 904.236.5858.
