Struggling with both overeating and overdrinking and not sure where to start? This episode explains how alcohol rapidly enters the brain, lowers executive control, spikes dopamine, and disrupts sleep and blood sugar, which can make food choices harder.

You’ll learn why sweets often surge for a couple of weeks after removing alcohol (totally normal), how to run a simple 72-hour alcohol-free test, and a gentle 7-day plan to build momentum (protein + fiber early, a short-term after-dinner sweet swap, a quick “dopamine menu,” sleep guardrails, and Scripture + accountability).

We also point you to my conversation with Denise Jelinek on Weight Loss with the Holy Spirit for a faith-first, practical companion to this topic: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/alcohol/id1708433539?i=1000722465416

Note: if you may be physically dependent on alcohol, please consult a medical professional before changing your intake.
