If you’ve ever wondered whether quitting alcohol can actually reverse the damage, it can. According to Dr. Brooke Scheller on The Tamsen Show, the body is incredibly resilient, especially when supported with the right nutrition and lifestyle changes.
Dr. Scheller developed a concept called functional sobriety, a root-cause approach to alcohol recovery that goes beyond willpower. Instead of relying solely on abstinence or traditional methods, her protocol focuses on repairing the systems alcohol disrupts, like gut health, nutrient depletion, hormone imbalance, and adrenal dysfunction.
In fact, Dr. Scheller’s clients who’ve cut back or quit often see measurable improvements in blood pressure, energy, sleep, and mood. “The more you’ve drunk, the more support your system may need to repair,” she explained, “but healing is absolutely possible.”
The takeaway? You don’t need to identify as an alcoholic or hit rock bottom to make a change. You just need to ask: is alcohol helping or holding me back?
