Publisher's summary

Let nutrition guide you to sobriety (or to just drinking a little less) with this guide and meal plan to reduce alcohol cravings and repair your health through food.

Trapped in alcohol's addictive grip, Dr. Brooke Scheller wanted a way out. For her, total sobriety was the answer to her problem, which she achieved by applying her skills as a doctor of nutrition, pairing her knowledge of nutrition with other integrative therapies to eliminate alcohol for good. Seeing the success in herself, she shifted her practice to help inspire others to explore a lifestyle with little to no alcohol.

How to Eat to Change How You Drink is a revolutionary guide to leverage food and nutrition to reduce or eliminate alcohol consumption, develop mindfulness, and promote a healthier relationship with alcohol. Working through the book, readers will identify their drinking archetype and then learn the types of nutritional changes they can make to reduce alcohol cravings alongside behavior modification; they'll learn how alcohol affects their nutritional status and can contribute to health symptoms ranging from fatigue, to hormonal imbalances, digestive irregularities, weight gain, thyroid disorders, autoimmune diseases and more; and they'll restore their nutritional status and repair key body systems after moderate to heavy alcohol consumption.

This book will change the way we think about and address alcohol intake in our society-- through the lens of nutrition.

Critic reviews

"A helpful addition for anybody taking a holistic approach to changing their relationship to alcohol."—Ruby Warrington, author of Sober Curious

"As a functional medicine expert, I have seen firsthand the powerful grip alcohol can have on a person's wellbeing. In Scheller's groundbreaking new book, her easy-to-follow 4-week plan shows us how we can use food to reset our health and our relationship with alcohol. Drinking doesn't have to be all or nothing, but by understanding the impact alcohol has on our overall health, we can learn better ways to support our needs—physically and emotionally—so that we can walk away with a better sense of what truly fuels us.”—Dr. Will Cole, IFMCP, DNM, DC, author of Ketotarian, The Inflammation Spectrum, NYT-bestseller, Intuitive Fasting, and Gut Feelings

"This compelling book takes us through how our body changes ‘on alcohol’. Alcohol replaces nutrient dense foods in our diet, causing nutritional deficiencies that cause us to crave more alcohol. This affects our brain, gut, ability to regulate glucose and insulin, and sense of self. Dr. Scheller asks you to explore your own relationship with alcohol and your drinking triggers. She provides a 30-day plan of food, supplements and herbs, and lifestyle modifications which build your awareness and cut your desire to drink. Join Dr. Scheller in this journey of self-discovery to live an alcohol-free life. When one door closes, another opens.”—Liz Lipski, PhD, CNS, BCHN, IFMCP, Professor and Director of Academic Development for the Nutrition programs at Maryland University of Integrative Health, Author of Digestive Wellness and Digestive Wellness for Children

My need to navigate my drinking through diet is intriguing

Brooke is an outstanding writer and narrator who shows her own path as proof that her advice works. She is more than just an advice giver, she is a professional who has also walked through the fire herself, making her advice that much easier to digest and recieve!

Inspiring and accessible guide to better nutrition

I feel more empowered to take care of my health after reading this! I first discovered Dr. Scheller through a podcast where she spoke about the link between nutrition and alcohol use patterns. I appreciate how Dr. Scheller can speak about complex concepts in a way that's accessible to people who don't have a background in science and medicine. In addition to that piece, this book offers recipes and tips for supplements, herbs, and other lifestyle modifications!

Outstanding

Highly educational and inspiring, with content that is easy to comprehend and engage with. It delves into the impacts of drinking on your health and offers guidance on achieving and sustaining personal goals, accompanied by appealing recipes as a bonus.
