While some individuals are able to drink in moderation, others use alcohol as a crutch, a support as a way to cope…including after a stressful day simply to “unwind”. What starts as harmless can turn into dependency. A few points to consider related to alcohol (EtOH, ethanol) intake. Alcohol…

👉 Alters brain functioning, control, and judgement and leads to cravings due to its interaction in the dopamine-reward-pathway
👉Impacts leading to malnutrition, malabsorption, and nutritional deficiencies often related to changes in eating patterns including eating less nutrient dense foods/preference for “sweet”
👉Changes the composition of the gut microbiome which plays a role in a production & signaling of key neurotransmitters and hormones (tryptophan, serotonin, GABA, tyrosine, dopamine, glucose, leptin, to name a few) responsible for sleep, calm, and our natural “get up and go” drive.
👉 Leads to craving, a vicious cycle.

How nutrition supports recovery ❤️‍🩹 🧠 is by…

1. Rebuilding and rebalancing the gut microbiome and gut-brain axis.
2. Resetting neurotransmitter, chemical messenger signaling so your brain functions at its optimal best
3. Improved body composition & weight management/control

Nutrition therapy supporting dependency, addiction , and recovery is best most effective when supported with social support (group) and medical/psychological models.

Don’t forget that even EZ rides, AKA zone 1-2, MFZ (max fat zone), or even if your swinging a short 75-90 min ride, your body is still burning 🔥 carbohydrates. And for those of you who prefer to train , here’s something to think about 🤔 - during sleep, the body burns the most amount of calories in a 24-hr period…and if you’re keto-adapted, the body still burns carbohydrates. So, offer your body some *energy*. Even for those 90-min EZ rides or if you're sprinkling some threshold intensity, feed it some carbohydrates - the muscles preferred fuel source (not to mention ATP). 30-60g carb/hr. Everybody’s energy needs are different. Curious to know how much energy (fats to carbs) your body burns and at what intensity (power or pace)? Contact my good friends over at .EPTC for testing and then I’ll pair your test up with the proper specific nutrition. Oh…and really watch out for those simple sugars during training (candy, pastry)…keep them modified with products like so we can keep your gut clean, balanced, healthy, and happy!

COVID-19 & Vitamin D: Some experts are recommending a very high intake of Vitamin D, up to 4,000 to 10,000 IU daily. Where are these recommendations coming from? Is this safe? And are these recommendations valid?

"...Without well-designed studies, we still cannot confirm a cause and effect relationship between vitamin D and COVID-19...400-1000 IU daily of a USP verified product is likely safe and should result in adequate vitamin D levels for most people"
