Going no alcohol is a cheat code brehs.

[ViShawn]

I'm in my 40s now but not but I will say that as you get older things change with your body.

I've been generally healthy, high testosterone, athletic, eat mostly vegetables and lean meats, minimally processed foods, but I have trouble with my sleep and stress levels.

I'm a night owl and it's nothing to me to go to sleep at 1 - 2 AM. If I have a drink on the weekend this could mean me going to sleep at 3 - 4 AM. I've noticed that since alcohol affects my sleep it also affects my ability to focus on tasks and think deep. I need my brain to do complex tasks and solve stuff so I realize I need to focus on my brain health. I rarely got hangovers when I drank but I would just feel dehydrated and unproductive the next day.

I went down the Huberman rabbit hole and discovered how much of a TOXIN alcohol is and it scared me straight.





I did a brief stint of not drinking for 6 weeks last year and I felt clear minded, less anxious, and focused. So far this year I haven't drinking for 5 weeks and I'll say the pros outweigh the cons. I never regularly drank but I love making a nice well made old fashioned or trying out different mezcals.
Some people will lose a lot of weight when they stop drinking. For me I look a bit leaner and lately I've been noticing my skins been glowing more

Alcohol= one of Lucifer's favorite weapons of mass destruction on the masses.

Never drank in my life.

Started cutting alcohol out my life once I turned 30. This year I'm going the entire year without it....the first time since 17.

I'm also cutting out caffeine. The cons are outweighing the pros now, I'm 3 days in and getting much better sleep already but I'm sluggish as hell.

So what's the story about this Huberman dude?

Because I saw a video from someone recently (can't remember who because I was just scrolling through Reels on Instagram) but they said Huberman started off doing good content but he's kinda gotten off the rails and started saying some BS or half-truths.

Damn how much you nikkaa drink that it is actually impacting your life.

It's going to take time to acclimate your body to this, but once you do you'll be thankful.

Keep going.

Apparently some of his later content is getting off the rocker and venturing into things he doesn't really know much about.

But general health/fitness stuff he's been solid.

I don't really drink that much honestly. Maybe 2 - 3 times a month but as I've gotten older it's just best to not drink at all.

Last month I had a beer flight with a former colleague (maybe the equivalent of 2 - 3 beers over a few hours) and it made me stay up until 4 AM.

I slipped up after two weeks and am going back to not drinking once again

OP is on point with this. I have maybe 1 drink a month for the past several years. Keeps weight off, look healthier, feel awake and energetic more. This is especially important to make the change when you hit your late 30s.

@Remote Huberman talks about supplements for general health and he talked about magnesium and that has also been a game changer for me in terms of my mood and sleep.

You see such a difference when you stop. Your face gets thinner, sleep is better, moods are better. You feel so much better.

But I’m so bored sober

I'll bookmark to watch later. Some guys have questionable opinions on certain things so I just wanted clarification. I don't think someone has to agree with everything a person says. But good information is good information so I'll take a look.

Thanks
