Scheller’s practical guidance is elevated by her compassionate tone...The result is a solid guide to cutting back.”—Publisher's Weekly
Let nutrition lead 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.

      Nutritionist Scheller debuts with a studious program for curbing alcohol consumption through dietary decisions. Delving into the science behind gut health and alcohol, Scheller explains that drinking provides sustenance for “harmful microbes” in the intestines, causing them to proliferate and send chemical signals to the body that trigger cravings for more alcohol. To fight the urge to drink, she recommends eating every three to four hours, which makes less likely the drops in blood sugar that contribute to cravings, and eating at least 15 to 25 grams of protein per meal because high-protein foods are rich in amino acids that boost the production of the same neurotransmitters activated by alcohol consumption. Scheller also details beneficial supplements, herbs, and “lifestyle modifications,” providing such expected suggestions as meditation and getting enough sleep, as well as some readers might not be familiar with, including taking supplements of magnesium, which “chronic alcohol use depletes... in the bloodstream.” Scheller’s practical guidance is elevated by her compassionate tone: “I know that it may feel hard to see now, but trust that this process will show you a clearer view of what makes you happy and what truly does not.” The result is a solid guide to cutting back.
