Brooke Scheller, DCN, CNS, is a Doctor of Clinical Nutrition, author, and the founder of Functional Sobriety, a nutrition-based program for alcohol reduction. After finding freedom from alcohol in 2021, Dr. Brooke took her experience in sobriety and applied her expertise in nutrition and functional medicine to help others change their relationship with alcohol. Her approach improves brain health, mood, energy, focus, gut health, and hormone balance. Dr. Brooke’s expertise extends beyond theory, rooted in her personal transformation, resulting in improved brain health, mood, energy, focus, gut health, and hormone balance.

In this episode, Dr. Brooke and I talk about her book “How to Eat to Change How You Drink,” misconceptions around moderate drinking, the four drinking archetypes, her journey to stopping drinking, the need for individualized support, the impact of alcohol on gut health and neurotransmitters, nutritional strategies when cutting back on alcohol, and more.
