Alcohol - The Stages of Withdrawal and Hierarchy of Recovery (Ep. 346)

SO MANY PEOPLE need to know about "The Relationship Between Low GABA and Alcohol Addiction." It’s a vicious relationship where each disorder can cause and affect the other.

After learning about this notorious accord between two devastating disorders and how to boost GABA naturally, you’ll be well on your way to restoring your mind/body health and elevating your GABA to optimal levels.
