Leyla Weighs In: Navigating Alcohol Consumption During the Holidays

Nutritionist Leyla Muedin delves into the reconsideration of alcohol consumption during the holiday season. With increasing awareness of the effects of alcohol on sleep and overall health, Leyla discusses a study from the European Heart Journal that links excessive alcohol intake to heart arrhythmias, using data from the Munich Beer Related Electrocardiogram Workup Study (MunichBREW). The episode explores the broader cardiovascular impacts of alcohol, such as elevated heart rate, atrial fibrillation, and high blood pressure. By highlighting that alcohol is a mitochondrial poison and neurotoxin, the discussion extends to its role in causing weight gain, liver disease, certain cancers, and mood disorders. Leyla encourages listeners to reevaluate their drinking habits and consider alternatives like alcohol-free beverages to achieve better health outcomes during a season known for indulgence.

The science of you, working better.

There’s a crucial molecule in your body that helps control your circulation, your energy, your stamina, your heart—even your sharpness of mind. It’s called nitric oxide.

After age 40, your body makes less and less of it. That means less blood flow. Less stamina. Less of you. But now there’s N1O1 nitric oxide lozenges, developed by Dr. Nathan Bryan — the world’s leading nitric oxide researcher.

I take them twice a day, especially before my workouts, to support healthy circulation and boost oxygen delivery to my muscles and brain. 

N1O1 is designed to naturally restore your body’s nitric oxide levels, and goes to work in minutes, releasing nitric oxide directly into your bloodstream, and helping you feel the way you’re supposed to feel.

More energy. Better blood flow. Sharper focus. Day after day.
