9 months ago I quit all drinking, and I feel MUCH BETTER
Same here brother ❤
Intriguing conversation. I am an Italian-American, full Italian, grandparents are Straight From Italy on both sides. I still have family that lives in Italy as well. My grandparents lived well into their nineties. In fact, my grandmother was 99, and my godparents lived to be 101 and 104 respectively. Both of them are Italian. And all of them drink wine often. I still have relatives that are in their late 80s that drink wine with every meal. My wife's family is straight from Dublin Ireland she has 11 aunts and uncles they go to the pub regularly in their middle and late 80s. I'm just wondering how all of that lineage and all of those people in Europe that drink regularly have such fantastic longevity and health. Things that make you go, hmmmmm. Lol
I think that's a bit of a logical fallacy to assume that long life was caused 'by' alcohol consumption (or anything else that is technically a stress on the body etc). On my dad's side, both grandparents lived to nearly 100, grandpa had been an alcoholic and smoker for decades through most of his life. Neither he nor grandma ever regularly exercised or purposely ate diets trying to be healthy. But, I am quite certain that alcohol consumption (and more obviously smoking in the case of that grandpa) did not contribute to their long lifespan - rather would assume that if anything... had they both not drank, grandpa never smoked, both regularly exercised for health, and both ate diets purposely geared towards optimal health they would have both made it past 100.
@@kalmtraveler But that is also your assumption. Point is, his relatives lived long lives even with drinking, so if it's that damaging how they made it that far?
@@kreculjkreculjcorrect - what I'm saying is there is no data to suggest that putting toxins in the body prolongs life. We do know fairly surely that toxins can reduce lfiespan, however. If I had to make a semi-educated guess on why some of our ancestors were able to live quite long despite unhealthy habits, I would have to guess that perhaps they simply had very robust bodies which were capable of dealing with that extra stress and still live long. Part of my concern with data collection here is that there aren't many people who care about their health enough to live their entire lives doing more or less everything they can for optimal health so the only large groups we can gather data from are everyone else. There does seem to be plenty of data suggesting that smoking and drinking are not long-term beneficial to the body, however, which is why it seems likely to me that avoiding toxins as much as possible may result in longer life than actively shoveling them into the body long term.
Glyphosate is what changed
@@kreculjkreculj humans are living longer than ever. Figuring out what behaviors optimize longevity is necessary if we are to maximize the average human's lifespan. Those centenarians may have lived even longer and/or been more productive for longer had they not consumed wine.
Having a drink everyday after work bc of stress. In only 4 months, I was in a Major Depressive Episode that lasted until I quit drinking. Awful period in my life.
Gave it up a few months back. Best decision I ever made. At least for my personal health. Everything has improved across the board. Should have done it sooner.
Teenagers need to hear this in High School!!!
They wouldn’t listen anyway 😂
I used Allen Carr's "easy way to control alcohol" audiobook to quit and turn my life around and so have many celebrities. It works instantly. Blame the poison substance, not yourself. Good luck, everyone.😊❤
Kids these days pop pills
Alcohol raised my lactate levels and put me above zone 2 at rest… so I wasn’t making any progress with endurance training because I had dysfunctional mitochondria
Interesting. I have fibromyalgia and have been working on decreasing inflammation. I quit drinking as part of that elimination plan.
I’m not really a drinker. But I like a drink now and again, maybe I drink 3 or 4 times a year if that. Even for me This is painful to hear.
Don't allow this guy to affect you like that - it's your life and you're self-aware enough to do what the hell you like with it. He's an intelligent person, no question, but, for me, he's attitude is patronizing, and for a psychiatrist displays a distinct lack of a wider perspective of human life. I've been on the wagon for just under a year, so I have some empathy for what he's saying. I may go back to drinking when the year is up.....or I may not - I'll cross that bridge when I get there. But.....there is more to life than analysing everything through the lens of how every substance affects the human body on a biological level. He even mentions magic mushrooms - is he utterly dismissing the increasing research that is going on with the treatment of PTSD with controlled medically-supervised psilocybin intake? Goodness sake, he calls himself a psychiatrist - that is some serious stuff going on with those trials [I don't or never have done MR btw]. Don't get me wrong - I'm very firmly in the camp of looking at the detrimental affects of alcohol, I'm in the thick of it right now, and I am serious about it - but I have little time for his preachy, patronizing manner. Just my 2cents.
@@gazthefez8677 yeah, it may not be literally healthy but it lubricates life. If small amounts turn into energy it wont kill mitochondria obviously. Of course they pick it up - it's their job tu burn it. Heavy drinking is another issue. I'm having a cigarette even tho I know the trick it does to nicotinic receptors. As long as I have tobacco I dont wanna destroy the universe - so it's a good thing. I'll deal with the vascular issues later with other herbs. BTW we will eventually all die so the fitness stuff has only limited significance
He talks so slow I need a drink now
you know youtube can play at 200% speed, right?
😂😂
He probably used to drink alot😂
Dr. Amen obviously walks his talk ~ Thank you, TdL!
Thank you for talking about this, my brother died from alcoholism at 37 yrs old
You don’t die from alcoholism. That’s not a cause of death.
@@joshuasalazar4316 I don’t even know how to respond to that. Being an alcoholic can definitely kill you, just like this video said, it’s poison.
@@nataliea5496 alcoholism isn’t a DIRECT cause of death. Alcoholism can lead to other issues that cause death but it is not a direct cause.
@@joshuasalazar4316 yes alcoholism may not be a DIRECT cause of death but can cause damage to your body that can kill you such as cirrhosis of the liver, liver disease, alcohol poisoning, cancer, etc..
@@nataliea5496 exactly so your original comment of my brother died from alcoholism isn’t factual.
I've already cut down on my alcohol consumption. I think I'm just done with it after watching this. Thanks, guys! Really interesting stuff!
Nothing good comes from drinking alcohol.
Thank you for putting it all so clearly.
What I found most interesting is when he explains how alcohol kills off the good bacteria in our guts. It makes sense though. That can cause mood swings, and disruption to our immune system.
except that it's BS. It never makes it that far
I am hearing this on September 22nd which happens to be the 37th anniversary of my mother's death. She had a stroke in the beginning of April I forced her to quit smoking but on the 4th of July we went to my aunts house for a party and she was drinking alcohol after that day I saw that she was getting worse. I have not had any alcohol for about 5 years. If I can't get it past my nose it is not going in my mouth. After hearing this it will NEVER go in my mouth again
Listen to Allen Carr's "easy way to control alcohol" audiobook. It works instantly.
Blame the poison substance, not yourself.
Once again feeling grateful I'm half Asian and inherited the aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 deficiency (Asian flush) that makes even half of a drink decidedly unpleasant.
How what a awesome interview we gave up beer and Vodka 2 years ago and now month with no wine thanks Thomas for this eye opener
Thank you for the salient info. What are your thoughts on using Kava Kava for a limited time, when cutting ETOH?
Wow, very interesting!
I love this guy
This is all well and good, but what is the actual practical impact?
Assuming one has, like maybe one to three beers, once a week, and nothing more.
There's a significant difference between being a habitual, everyday drinker and one who drinks only occasionally.
Obviously, everyday alcohol consumption is not good, but does that mean one should never, EVER have even a little bit, maybe paired with food at a nice restaurant or something?
Let's not blow things out of proportions if not necessary.
We are adapted to eat ripe fruit fermented by yeast every day since the ancient times. Body can deal with a beer or two like it's hard water. You'll pee it out, burn it as callories. The liver can deal with much more for decades as long as you dont lack some B vitamins and other stuff it needs to be happy.
BTW, cant you get resveratol from non-fermented juice?
Stop defending an epidemic of drinking. Alcohol is toxic. It significantly affects brain function and development in anyone under 20. It has chronic and longlasting effects. It kills millions every year through disease, violence and accidents.
Used to drink 1 or 2 cans a week with an occasional binge in months. I could feel a substantial reduction of recovery after gym, reduced hydration and constant cramps.
Since 1.6 years of staying Alcohol free, fitness has improved on a whole, digestion has improved, 7 hours of sleep feels more fulfilling. A big difference came for losing the fat and building muscles when I went alcohol free. Even a can of harmless beer is doing more harm than you can perceive
Indeed bruh. Gave up on alcohol for 8 mos now and for me its one of th best decisions ive ever made. Been hitting my PR without probs now. I notice good results with the supps I'm taking in the gym. For weigh loss i just back up my diet with tesofensine which i got from Nextchems, it suppressed my hunger.
God, life is hard enough as it is. Everything will kill you if you have too much of it. I love to be fit and healthy but I'm not going to deny life's pleasures. I DEFINITELY don't want to live to 100 😂
@@missioncodez Alcohol is pleasurable from the standpoint of being able to deal with a$$holes like YOU! And by the way...I AM funnier on alcohol!
What a great chat here with Marshall Applewhite.
Not sure I agree with him. My wife’s grandparents both lived to 95 and 96 and drank a bottle of wine between them almost every day.
Exceptions don’t make the rule
It destroys families over years. I for one have been done for a while. I am sharing this very important message with people. It is a very hard sell because of the world wide social acceptance of even a little drinking. But needs to change.
Good show 🎉 I don't drink alcohol.
Cannabis at 50 years old is an amazing love life boost.
It’s not bad at 39 either 🙂
8:00 alternatives Thanks TD & DrA
Man it's weekend and iam getting this knowledge about the harmfullness of Alcohol,weed and what not.
Thanks:-)
I bet this guy wont be the life of the party! LOL
Love ur content TDL btw….Sorry but there plenty of communities around the world where occasional alcohol or that consumed in moderation has not affected them in the slightest. Maybe it’s genetics, maybe a certain diet ( Mediterranean springs to mind ), lower stress levels or a combination of these and / or other factors I’ve not mentioned. I’m not advocating widespread alcohol usage but I’m just saying there’s more to this
What are good brain healthy exercises?
There are plenty of people that are regular drinkers like myself and are still in good shape, have a good job, raising children, zero major health issues.
Not saying it’s good for you, but it’s not the devilish stuff that some people make it out to be.
Just like anything else, don’t abuse it
For now.
Right! Just because it's not obvious now doesn't mean you aren't in the development stages of major health issues due to bad lifestyle choices. I have a friend who started eating healthier three or four years before being diagnosed with Stage 4 Colon Cancer, something that takes almost 10 years to develop before being a death sentence. She hadn't had a colonoscopy, so she didn't know there was a problem and it was something a better diet couldn't overcome. She was gone six months after her diagnosis.
Hey I'm no saint--I still have several beers/week but also exercise daily, haven't had fast food in over a year, cut way back on carbs (esp sugar) and bad seed oils and eat lots of healthy fats (nuts, seeds, olive oil, etc). I opt for grass-fed beef, pastured eggs and some organic foods when possible/affordable. Intermittent fasting (typically two daily meals/no snacks) has helped me be able to afford these healthier food options. Btw, I'm 63-1/2, take no prescriptions and am at my ideal weight...
I thought so too..then i quit for 110 days (as an experiment to see how i felt. Was originally doing it for 30 days, then went 60..then decided to try 100 days..landed up being 110)…and was surprised how much clearer my focus was and less prone to being impatient….i dare you to try it. I couldn’t even finish the first drink i had after that. I rarely drink now…just feel better without it and dont crave it at all. Now with the extra money i save not buying booze, i buy really good quality coffee and splurge on that. Also the money i save (now that everything has skyrocketed…it supports feeding my beautiful cat)
Why/how would mushrooms decrease brain activity if it makes neuron and spine neuron connections stronger?
I've been calling alcohol and refined sugar poison for quite some time now. I guess I was not joking after all.
I wonder if they considered the effects of this for different countries/demographics. Korea and Japan have very strong drinking cultures but their population's IQs are among the highest in the world. Either they're doing something to counteract it, their alcohol is different or there is an incomplete view on this. I don't really drink, and i just regret my college days and some stretches during my professional career, but i feel like there's more to it.
I don't know why people persist in the fallacy that alcohol is somehow "good" for you. It's not. It's a toxic depressant. People traditionally used it to release inhibitions, but now Western societies don't have the same proscriptions around social behaviour - alcohol is not needed.
IQ is largely genetic, and East Asians have high IQ’s. Has nothing to do with drinking
@@jesseshaver2262don't let the woke cult hear that😂
High Suicide Rates in Japan too though... you can find links and causation everywhere.
Yeah alcohol is bad. Sure your grandparents lived longer. Europeans should always take american videos with a grain of salt, since our food/culture/lifestyles aren't like theirs(as nicely said as could be).
Amen
I use ACV, is this detrimental as alcohol?
Any RCTs?
Glad to be 21 years sober
Well, I live in a country of wine and generation after generation we have not been known for having a shorter life expectancy nor having old people with bad health. My own grandfather lived to his 98, on his own, with no health/ brain issue. He ate healthy food, had a glass of wine several times a week, actually loved to bake for the family and walked alot.
I’m happy your grandfather had a long and happy life. Self-reports aside, it is just a fact that his white matter in his brain was damaged and thus had less connectivity in his Central Nervous System overall than if he did not drink. And maybe he was okay with that, and that’s fine. But it is. Just. A fact.
@@HeyThatsInteresting97 Well sorry but his brain was not damaged at all. I see people 30 years younger who have memory problems, loss of cognitive functions, etc.
@@maggy3713 the damage done by the wine may not have been noticeable, but unless you looked at it via a scan yourself you simply cannot say it wasn’t damaged. It’s very simple that alcohol causes changes in the brain, whether you notice it or it affects your life or not.
@@missioncodez Because I was living in the same town and in the same house and I saw him everyday...It's not hard to tell when someone has any kind of problem...
@@maggy3713 do you realize how there might be damage done that you might not be able to see? Or that might not cause significant negative effects?
I HATE alcohol. I live with a husband who has been drinking his whole life and stopped too late. Now I live with his dementia, hell all over again😢
Now that I’m preaching this to family and friends since sobriety August 21, 2022. It’s like I’m kicking a hornets nest down the road…..
Hahaha first minute in and he must have drank loads of the goods! 🤣 aaaaaandd uuhhmmmmm.....
I would love to figure out how to get Andrew Lessman, founder of Pro Caps Labs, who is so knowledgeable about the delivery of the supplements that can aide us in our longevity journey, into this media platform.
Love his supplements ❤
💚
Great video. People get so defensive about this, just look at some of the comments here.
People love to believe that multinational billion dollar corporations that are printing money from addiction and suffering would never hurt them.
Nice to hear he is married to a nurse! 🙏🏽
Did he say she handed out the shots? 😮
My boyfriend died from over consumption of alcohol. He drank so much his intestines began to bleed and he lost too much blood. Just stay away from it.
Anyone else thinking Heaven's Gate?
Just fair warning, great information but his speech pattern isn’t really meant for a video of this length for your own sake I suggest you put the speed on 1.25X.
I'm allergic to alcohol. During the covid, my hands would get rashes because of sanitizer.
you had a reaction to the chemicals in it. It happened to many of us. Some hand sanitizers are not even ethanol-based. It can be iso-alcohol, denatured, even with methanol... It was a wild west and we were the guinea pigs to test stuff on
most people just enjoy a buzz more than better health.
Having an oz or 2 of schnapps after dinner helps me lower my blood sugar, blood pressure, inflammation, and greatly improves my stomach issues and digestion. This is me. My mother was German and this was the way I was raised.
Interesting.
I take a table spoon after dinner. It killed my insomnia, helps against sweating and prevents my wallet from getting to full
U r using alcohol for compensating other problems. Find out what your body not stand and eliminate it instead. It may be gluten, stress, inactivity, toxins from air or water etc.
Most likely, a better diet would solve the problems where u rely on alcohol.
👍
I'm not a drinker, BUT, I don't hear any reference to Jesus turning water into wine!😇
He also said wine is meant for our pleasure but drunkenness is a sin
@@catherinepicicci5859 right, but the guest seems to think it's a sin no matter how much the amount.
15:00
Actually, I never realized how bad drinking is because I rarely drink (maybe a cup or two of champagne few year ago)
I can’t tell you how grateful I am for my religion that teaches abstinence from alcohol nicotine drugs
I added a comment and it didn't render. So I have been a functioning alcoholic for 40 years. My daily consumption would make your guest melt down. At 59, I still hold down a job that requires a really clear and cognitive brain function, I go to the gym and I increase my strength. I have a beer belly and am not claiming to be the best 59 year old on the planet, but I have outlived many of my peers. There cannot be any RCTs on alcohol use, or probably any kind of trial, because it would not get ethical approval. What is reported is retrospective observational studies, which really are meaningless. They will show what you want them to show. There are so many variables and confounders in any kind of studies like thesethat they cannot be even considered as almost correct. The liver breaks down 1 unit of alcohol per hour, or therabout, in races with 2 copies of ADH. I have never seen any biochemical pathway that leads ethanol to become glucose, so call it out, show how acetylaldehyde becomes glucose and I will reassess my answer. Your guest is a scare monger with an agenda.
Ever wondered why Blackberries are surrounded by Stining Nettle and Brambles...
Yes why
It's almost like we aren't allowed to pick and eat them..
Hmm, maybe it's a defense for local wildlife, but humans have very dexterous fingers that can pick the fruit while avoiding a plant's defenses. Also, there are varieties that don't have those defenses. Either way, I'm not sure how this comment relates to alcohol other than it maybe being turned into wine, to which there are many other fruits out there that will ferment just as well.
Pull up a chair.
Things that taste awful are bad for you? There are so many "healthy foods" that taste awful. Are they all bad for me? Sugar tastes good. So with his logic, more sugar is good for me. Get out of here
Exact quote "Why do things taste terrible? Because they're poisonous for you". That's pretty oversimplified don't you think? His words, not mine. Lap that up dur dur. @@missioncodez
Give a child a sip of grapefruit juice and watch their reaction. What's your point with that? Just relax and have a beer. Cheers @@missioncodez
I know exactly what thi$ legal drug does, (which by the way, kills more than all of the other drugs combined, directly and indirectly), I have a loved one addicted to this, and his life is completely ruined, now sadly in JAIL, his mind and neurons are destroyed, and even in jail he continues, so yes, if it were for me, this drug should be banned, but we all know why is not, MONEY.
So your telling me you dont have coffee or a glass of wine bull
That part about alcohol causing accidents and deaths is so true👍 Know a guy who says he doesnt know how he dislocated his knee because he blacked out from drinking😩👎
Alcohol is the gateway drug not Marijuana like we were told growing up!!
Listen to Allen Carr's "easy way to control alcohol" audiobook. It works instantly.

They drink quite a lot of alcohol per capita in Russia and it does wonders for their health and life expectancy!
Does wonders for their disease, accident and murder rates, too!
Lol :) the males live barely to 60 and all Russians look twenty plus years older than their age
If I were a Russian, I’d probably drink loads of vodka too to try and forget the fact that I was Russian!
@@Hampshirehalfwit Yes you got it!
He was talking slow as far as I'm concerned. Also, he made word mistakes.. Is he a tee-totaller? 🤣🤣🤣
Sorry but one glass of red wine maybe 2-3 times a week will not harm me in any way whatsoever. Be careful everyone, we're in times where WE must listen to our own intuition for the truth for OURSELVES.. 🥰
Unfortunately evidence suggesting now ANY alcohol is detrimental. Kinda crazy

Very interesting, but I think his Evangelical faith may add an element of bias into his research.
If he's going to drop in the Bible references, he missed out ones such as:
"Stop drinking only water, and use a little wine because of your stomach and your frequent illnesses"
"Go, eat your food with gladness, and drink your wine with a joyful heart, for God has already approved what you do."
"Wine gladdens human hearts".
Sorry, had to had those to bring some balance!
Well Jesus turned water into wine, so….
😂 indeed!
all booze these days has. glyphosphate in it... so there's that😂
Meh
Aight there's no way magic mushrooms lower brain activity. . .
Brings a fake book on a character named Jesus into the talk all credibility gone just like that
That’s funny it boosted his credibility with me
10:35 I disagree with Dr. Amen's simplistic model about mitochondrial functions when it comes to various substances use. Yes for alcohol it is undoubtably the case and I don't think anyone should really drink because there is simply no proven health benefits to that substance, but cannabis and especially psilocybin/ psychedelics have such a wide range of therapeutic benefits that we have to be able to balance things out in the equation and realize that a minor altercation in mitochondrial function can be a perfectly good tradeoff for some people in specific contexts. Preaching total abstinence of powerful natural drugs is not only anti-science, it's unethical.
Saying "magic mushrooms suppress brain functions" is completely misleading and as stupid as saying sleep reduces brain functions. It temporarily CHANGES brain functions and brings you into altered states of consciousness that would otherwise be accessible via very deep meditation, neural beats, or dreaming. Psilocybin is renowned for promoting neurogenesis, the contrary of what he implies with "suppressing brain functions". Just because the brain starts working differently doesn't mean it's impaired, sometimes that's exactly what someone needs.
And lets not even discuss how the substance is non-addictive and has no lethal dosage. Lumping alcohol with such drugs is pure disinformation.
I'm a psychiatrist and I agree with you. Well said.
He had me until the mushrooms comment. He really needs to dig more into the science of what's happening there.
Yes, microdoses of magic mushrooms can help with things like PTSD and the like. However, people who use that stuff aren't taking microdoses 🙂 This is the type of usage he's probably arguing against.
even comparing alcohol to cannabis is downright moronic.
