We often want to think of our bodies as a balance scale, calories in - calories out. But, in reality our bodies are much closer to a complex chemical lab where everything we do effects everything else. That means that we must learn to pay attention to food and nutrition in a whole new way. It also means that there is an intersection between the consumption of alcohol and how our bodies absorb and use nutrients. It might seem like a good idea to 'help' our bodies through alcohol detox by prioritizing nutrition and even taking a handle of supplements to help us through the early days. In fact, because of drinking alcohol,  our bodies will most likely need to detox naturally and come back into homeostasis ( a balanced state of health) before we start actively working on our nutrition. This looks like aiding our body in its natural processes in the beginning and saving the more intense protocols for further down the road.
