Listen Later

This episode is brought to you by BioPro+.

This is a comprehensive journey into the world of sobriety, sober-curious, and the multifaceted impact of alcohol on our bodies. From gut microbiome disruptions to hormone imbalances and nutrient depletion, Dr. Brooke Scheller, DCN, CNS peels back the layers of alcohol's influence on our health. With her personal sobriety story and background in functional medicine as well as clinical nutrition, she is sharing an insider's look into the complex relationship between our drinking habits and overall well-being, and why the social narrative around alcohol's health benefits needs a sober second thought.

Brooke shines a light on the lesser-discussed effects of alcohol on our hormones and stress levels, exploring how even moderate consumption can throw our delicate hormonal balance out of sync. As a society inundated with stress, understanding alcohol's interaction with cortisol is more important than ever. She also provide insights into how alcohol's presence in our lives might be hindering more than just our physical health, but our personal growth and ability to reach our full potential as well.

Dr. Scheller also addresses the nutritional strategies that can help manage the effects of alcohol and support those on the path to reduced consumption or sobriety. Whether you're curious about the science behind alcohol's impact on the body or seeking motivation for your own sober or sober-curious journey, this conversation will help you identify how alcohol may have affected your health and how to heal your body.
