Dr. Brooke SchellerEvery podcast appearance, updated as new ones drop

In this insightful episode, Molly sits down once again with Dr. Brooke Scheller, clinical nutritionist and founder of Functional Sobriety, to discuss one of the most buzzed-about topics in the health and wellness space: GLP-1 medications (like Ozempic and Wegovy). Originally developed for treating Type 2 diabetes and now widely prescribed for weight loss, these drugs are increasingly being talked about for their potential to reduce alcohol cravings. Together, Molly and Dr. Scheller unpack the growing curiosity (and concern) surrounding the off-label use of GLP-1s by those trying to moderate or change their drinking habits. They dive deep into both the science and the speculation—discussing small but intriguing studies, anecdotal feedback from clients and community members, and what it really means to find a “magic pill” for reducing desire. But this episode doesn’t stop at surface-level discussion. They explore the bigger picture: sustainable behavior change, the role of nutrition in alcohol use, and whether it's possible to replicate the effects of GLP-1s with food, lifestyle, and mindset shifts alone. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: What GLP-1 medications are and how they work Why they might reduce alcohol cravings—and what the science says so far Who might benefit most from GLP-1s—and who should be cautious Common side effects and risks associated with these drugs Natural strategies to support craving reduction and metabolic health Why addressing core beliefs about alcohol is critical to long-term change Links & Resources Mentioned: Dr. Brooke Scheller’s program : Functional Sobriety Dr. Scheller’s book: How to Eat to Change How You Drink Connect with Molly: Website: www.mollywatts.com Instagram: @alcoholminimalist Join the Private Facebook Community: “Alcohol Minimalists: Change Your Drinking Habits” Want to Change Your Drinking?

Today my guest is Dr Brooke Scheller, author of "How to Eat to Change How You Drink: Heal your gut, mend your mind and improve Nutrition to Change Your Relationship with Alcohol". On this podcast we talk a lot about psychology, family history, trauma, and all of the well known modalities for healing. Today we're going to look at another approach that you can layer into your recovery practice - nutrition. We first discuss Brooke's own journey, how her relationship with alcohol changed over the years to the point where she knew she had to stop and how she went on a quest to heal her body through nutrition. We discuss the quiz she has on her website to help Sober Curious people determine what kind of drinker they are and the specific healing modalities that work best for each type. We talk about the connection between protein and willpower and how to have proper nutrition to reduce cravings. She also talked about how alcohol affects women in menopause and the link to breast cancer. I learned a lot from Brooke in this conversation.
