What Alcohol Really Does To Your Body: Dr. Brooke Scheller

Dr. Brooke Scheller spent years collecting nutrition degrees, a bachelor's, a master's, and a doctorate, while privately drinking herself into anxiety, depression, and the kind of double life only a high-functioning health expert can pull off. The wellness conferences ended in bars. The shame ran underneath everything.Then in June 2021, she stopped. She's now coming up on 1,000 days sober.Brooke is the author of How To Eat To Change How You Drink and the founder of Functional Sobriety, a nutrition and root-cause approach to supporting an alcohol-free life. She and Dave dig into the science most doctors never mention: how alcohol depletes B vitamins, magnesium, and zinc; why blood sugar crashes drive afternoon cravings; how alcohol wrecks the gut microbiome that produces your serotonin and dopamine; and why some drinkers literally can't moderate.You'll hear about: the protein and snack strategy that kills the 5pm urge; the supplements that support early sobriety; why sleep regulates within weeks; and the genetics question every drinker asks.If you want the science behind why your body feels the way it does, this one's for you. For further insights and guidance on your journey to wellness, connect with Dr. Brooke Scheller on Instagram (@drbrookescheller) or visit her websites at brookescheller.com and functionalsobriety.com.Website: www.functionalsobriety.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/drbrookescheller/?hl=enBook Website: www.functionalsobriety.com/bookAmazon: How to Eat to Change How You Drink – https://a.co/d/6hjCXTEIf you want to connect with me via Instagram, you can find me on the instahandle @Soberdave https://www.instagram.com/soberdave/or via my website https://davidwilsoncoaching.com/Provided below are links for services offering additional help and advice.www.drinkaware.co.uk/advice/alcohol-support-serviceshttps://nacoa.org.uk/Show producer- Daniella Attanasio-MartinezInstagram - @TheDaniellaMartinezhttps://www.instagram.com/thedaniellamartinez/www.instagram.com/grownuphustle Hosted on Acast.
