Dr. Brooke Scheller, Sober Nutrition & Functional Sobriety Expert, Talks Sobriety, The “Gray Area” of Drinking, and Sober Nutrition

Today we sit down with Dr. Brooke Scheller a Sober Nutrition & Functional Sobriety Expert. Dr. Brooke  is a Doctor of Clinical Nutrition, Certified Nutrition Specialist (CNS) and the creator of the Functional Sobriety method. As a leader in the space, she is pioneering the understanding of how alcohol impacts the gut, our nutritional pathways, and the brain. Dr. Brooke uses nutrition, food, supplements and other health practices to support mood and mental health, digestion, energy, and so much more in her practice. In this conversation, we discuss Dr. Brooke’s own journey in wellness and her decision to stop drinking, talk about sugar cravings when giving up alcohol, sober nutrition, and the way alcohol impacts our hormones and body’s systems. We do want to mention this is a  “Sober Curious”  conversation, so if you are in recovery and will not find that supportive of your journey then tune back next week.  This is a great conversation for anyone who wants to change their relationship with alcohol, drink less, or stop drinking all together! 

In the intro, Erica also gives an update on her relationship with alcohol after taking 12-months off drinking. Spoiler: She's decided to stop drinking all together. Listen to Erica's episode about her year off alcohol here!
