Have you ever wondered if your relationship with alcohol might be affecting you on a deeper level? While we talk about food and the way it impacts us as a whole, we don’t often examine what alcohol does to our overall health.

Dr. Brooke Scheller, founder of Functional Sobriety and author of the new book, How to Eat to Change How You Drink, explains how systems like the gut and brain, as well as nutrient deficiencies and hormonal imbalances, play a role in our desires and habits around drinking. 

As a doctor of Clinical Nutrition, she believes in the power of food and nutrition to help people reduce or eliminate alcohol consumption. With her extensive research on how alcohol impacts our physiology, she shares exactly which foods and nutrients can support us as we reduce or eliminate alcohol.

So whether you’re an everyday drinker or someone who only partakes on occasion, this conversation will help you approach your journey with science-backed strategies along with a dose of self-compassion!   

In this episode, you’ll learn:  

• About the three drinking archetypes (and how to identify yours) 
• The impact alcohol can have on your body, even if you aren’t a regular drinker 
• Why balancing your blood sugar plays a pivotal role in your alcohol cravings 
• A helpful mindset for Dry January or when you “slip up” 
• The relationship between nutrition and your mood and overall mental health
• Recipes and foods to support you as you reduce or eliminate alcohol  

  Dr. Brooke’s research-based approach and compassionate insights will inspire you to explore your relationship with alcohol and gain a newfound understanding of how to eat to change how you drink!
