We're swapping out our deodorant, filtering the shit out of our water, and scrutinizing ingredient labels with a magnifying glass. Yet, here we are, still regularly indulging in alcohol, a Class 1 carcinogen. Pretty ironic and kinda silly, isn't it? But hey, we're not here to judge, we're here to learn! In this episode, Yaz and Jamie have an awesome chat with Dr. Brooke Scheller, a doctor of nutrition and the author of "How to Eat to Change the Way You Drink.” And before you dismiss this episode, trust us, there's some seriously cool science to explore about alcohol and its impact on our bodies. Here's what we cover: Discovering your Drinker Archetype (Yes, we all have a type!) Why do our hangovers get worse with time Debunking the myth: Is that one glass of wine a day really good for you? How alcohol messes with your nutrient levels The connection between alcohol and your gut microbiome Alcohol’s impact on your brain  Exploring the cultural and family ties to our drinking habits Buy the book here: How to Eat to Change the Way You Drink Join Brooke’s Community here: Functional Sobriety   Dr. Brooke Scheller | Instagram & Website Yaz | Instagram & TikTok Jamie | Instagram HHH | Instagram & TikTok
