Today my guest is Dr Brooke Scheller, author of "How to Eat to Change How You Drink: Heal your gut, mend your mind and improve Nutrition to Change Your Relationship with Alcohol".

On this podcast we talk a lot about psychology, family history, trauma, and all of the well known modalities for healing. Today we're going to look at another approach that you can layer into your recovery practice - nutrition.

We first discuss Brooke's own journey, how her relationship with alcohol changed over the years to the point where she knew she had to stop and how she went on a quest to heal her body through nutrition. We discuss the quiz she has on her website to help Sober Curious people determine what kind of drinker they are and the specific healing modalities that work best for each type.

We talk about the connection between protein and willpower and how to have proper nutrition to reduce cravings.

She also talked about how alcohol affects women in menopause and the link to breast cancer.

I learned a lot from Brooke in this conversation. I appreciate the scientific lens through which she sees alcohol use disorder and the tools she offers to help those struggling to find peace.

So without further delay, please enjoy this episode with Brooke, and let me know what you think!
