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.

This one is special. Not just because it's on the ever-popular topic of nutrition, but it's with my niece Brooke Scheller. And little did I know that when I brought Brooke out to San Diego for a “21-Day Transformation Program” (when she was just 18-years old) to help her “find her way,” that it would eventually lead her to get a doctorate in nutrition. And now, she just launched her first book, HOW TO EAT TO CHANGE HOW YOU DRINK. Yes, as a recovering alcoholic, Brooke has turned her “Demons into Dreams” and she's now positively IMPACTING thousands of people on both social media, her new book, and now the TD IMPACT SHOW. You gotta listen to this one… On today's IMPACT SHOW, we discuss: Brooke's back story and growing-up in Brick, NJ. The IMPACT of the “21-Day Transformation Program” after Brooke graduated high-school and how that program eventually led her to FAX in her college application. ☺ Brooke shares her career as a nutritionist and how she balanced a career and life of someone in wellness, while still battling with alcohol. Why has she felt inspired to speak openly about sobriety (rather than remaining “anonymous”)? Why did she write this book? In the book, one of her dedications in the book was to her younger self. Why? Brooke's 2-3 of her favorite parts of the book and Todd shares his favorite parts. Brooke shares and explains her “archetypes” of drinking. Brooke shares what she hopes this book will bring to the world? What's next for Brooke Scheller? I am so proud of Brooke and loved recording this episode literally from Times Square NYC.

Did you know some of the most common questions googled in early sobriety are related to how to improve your energy and mood and manage fatigue and irritability? It's true. Here's a sample of what people are asking as they stop drinking… How do you get energy in recovery? How can I be happy in sobriety? Why am I so tired now that I'm sober? Is it normal to feel depressed in early sobriety? How do you deal with anxiety in early sobriety? What are the hardest weeks of sobriety? Does giving up alcohol make you tired? What happens in the first few weeks of sobriety? Early sobriety fatigue and irritability are real. But there are ways to help your body heal through nutrition for recovery. Changing what you eat can improve your mood, give you more energy and help you feel better, more quickly when you stop drinking. I asked Dr. Brooke Scheller, a nationally recognized health expert and founder of Functional Sobriety, to share the principles of nutrition for recovery and how simple changes in what you eat can improve your mood, give you more energy and help your body heal more quickly when you stop drinking.
