Pre & Post Party Tips for a Happy Microbiome
In case you were not aware, consuming alcohol can effect things like your HCL (Hydrochloric Acid), enzyme, and probiotic levels. Your stomach already makes HCL on it’s own but it gets depleted when imbibing, stress, and aging just to name a few. Probiotics (good bacteria) needs to be fed Prebiotics in order to keep levels high enough to ward off the bad bacteria that can come into your system in a lot of different ways. Enzymes cannot exist without proper levels of pre/probiotics and HCL. So to make it easy for you, I have put together a little PRE & POST GAME Protocol for you, so that you may plan out what you will eat and drink before you take off for Festival season or before whatever else you might be celebrating like….GAME OF THRONES that starts back today! Bend The Knee and get to list making cuz here we go!
PREGAMING YOUR GUT FOR OPTIMAL DIGESTION WHEN PARTYING:
Take your HCL, Probiotics, & Enzymes with a Ferm Fatale Smoothie with a well rounded meal beforehand
POST PARTY PROTOCOL FOR DETOXING YOUR RETOX:
For 3-7 days after imbibing, Take 4 oz water kefir, 4 oz Aloe Vera juice, HCL, Enzymes, Probiotic, & Milk Thistle , 12 oz raw coconut water, and well rounded meals with a cup or two of Bone Broth DAILY to bring your gut back into balance.
I was always said that it’s a lot more fun putting on weight or taking in too many calories than it is in trying to take it off, so if you learn to practice Moderation and pay attention to your inner dialogue when you want something that isn’t the best for you like too much of anything…you can start to deconstruct those negative core beliefs that you have about yourself and what it means to party so you are making good decisions that don’t sabotage your long term health success.
