Stagione 2
New Year, New Liver!
Esplicito
This week Carrin and Kylei talk about the liver and what we can do to allow it to function at its best. Spoiler alert, it's stop drinking alcohol. Topics/rants include: What does sober community look like for men? They aren't going to coffee shops and yoga retreats to form a community or bond with each other, so what do they do? An orange shot of turmeric isn't going to cure your liver or repair any damage. It may help stop further damage from happening, but not if you're still drinking alcohol and eating fatty foods. A local rehab facility closed down and the hosts talk about the ripple effect of that on the emergency rooms in the area. NA Beverages sampled in today's episode: Curious Elixirs #2 on ice.
