It’s very triggering if you’ve stopped drinking, but aren’t feeling better. You may observe others on their pink clouds and think you’re the only one feeling this way. It takes time for the body to heal and that’s why I invited on Dr. Brooke Scheller to talk to us about how our nutrition impacts our cravings for alcohol and the way we feel. In this episode you’ll learn what to do if you stopped drinking but don’t feel better, how to re-evaluate your nutrition, and a few simple steps you can take to improve your nutrition today.
In this episode you’ll learn:

How Brooke decided to focus her work in nutrition on alcohol use

How she felt about being public about her sobriety

The most impactful things Brooke has learned in her work

How blood sugar influences cravings for alcohol

How to re-evaluate your diet and what to do if you “already eat pretty healthy”

How to know when you need to adjust your diet

When to consider supplementation
