Expert Nutritionist Believes the Key to Sobriety Is What You Eat | Dr. Brooke Scheller

What if your diet could transform the way you drink—or even help you quit altogether? This idea lies at the heart of Dr. Brooke Scheller’s innovative work. As a Doctor of Clinical Nutrition and founder of Functional Sobriety, she is redefining the recovery conversation through the power of nutrition. Dr. Scheller, author of How to Eat to Change How You Drink, isn’t just offering nutrition tips—she’s revolutionizing what recovery can look like. By shining a spotlight on the alarming links between alcohol and cancer and explaining how cravings often stem from blood sugar, not just willpower, she delivers a bold, science-backed approach. Her work dives deep into the physiological impact of alcohol on the body, showing why nutrition is a game-changer in understanding not only why someone drinks but why they keep drinking. Can recovery be more than abstinence? How does her work align—or clash—with the foundations of 12-step programs? And what does the rise of “sober curiosity” and Dry January say about where our culture is headed? Whether you’re sober, sober-curious, or just looking to feel better, Dr. Scheller’s insights will leave you questioning how you live, what you drink—and why nutrition is the key to building healthy life habits on a physical, mental and spiritual level.  For more information about Functional Sobriety, Dr. Scheller’s nutrition-based program for alcohol reduction: https://www.functionalsobriety.com/ For more information about Dr. Scheller’s book: How to Eat to Change How You Drink: https://www.functionalsobriety.com/book Connect with Zac https://www.instagram.com/zwclark/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/zac-c-746b96254/ https://www.tiktok.com/@zacwclark https://www.strava.com/athletes/55697553 https://twitter.com/zacwclark If you or anyone you know is struggling, please do not hesitate to contact Release: (914) 588-6564 releaserecovery.com @releaserecovery Learn more about your ad choices.
