Listen "The Terrain Toxin We Celebrate: Alcohol, Addiction, and the Path Beyond with David Nutt"
Episode Synopsis
Alcohol is the world’s most socially accepted toxin — a substance woven into our rituals, relationships, and celebrations, yet responsible for immeasurable physical, emotional, and societal harm. What happens when we finally confront that truth?In this episode, we sit down with Professor David Nutt, neuropsychopharmacologist, author, and founder of GABA Labs, to explore alcohol’s hidden toll on the human terrain — from cellular toxicity and neuroinflammation to cultural indoctrination and addiction.David explains how alcohol damages nearly every system in the body, why our governments and industries continue to protect it, and how his groundbreaking work is offering a path forward. Through Sentia, a functional, non-alcoholic alternative designed to replicate alcohol’s social and relaxing effects without the poison, David and his team are reimagining what it means to connect, unwind, and celebrate — consciously.We discuss:Why alcohol remains the most harmful drug in Western societyThe biological and social mechanisms behind addictionHow alcohol reshapes the terrain at every level — from the liver to the mindThe emerging movement toward functional, toxin-free social drinkingSentia, GABA Labs, and the future of conscious convivialityListen in as we uncover the paradox of the terrain toxin we celebrate — and the promise of a future beyond it.Learn more about Dave and his work at: https://gabalabs.com.Learn more about Sentia at http://www.sentiaspirits.com/ and follow them on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/sentiaspirits/.Support Terrain Theory on Patreon!
