The following is an Operation Podcast production.

We get really, really tied up in the kind of polar spectrums of alcohol, of like, well, if I'm not drinking every single day and I haven't lost anything and, you know, I'm not homeless and living on the streets, then I don't have a problem with alcohol.

What's really important and happening now a lot in the

sober curious space is people are tuning into how alcohol is affecting their mental health,

their physical health, their relationships, their career, their finances. You don't have to have

a quote unquote problem to stop drinking. You can stop drinking at any time. People are

taking breaks and they're realizing that, wow, but I am feeling more energy. I can go to a social

event without drinking and actually enjoy myself. I'm a doctor of nutrition. I have a bachelor's,

a master's, and a doctorate in nutrition. And it really wasn't until my own sobriety experience

where I started to

realize the true impacts that alcohol was having as a nutritionist who looks at not only what food

we're putting in our body, but anything that we're putting in our body that we metabolize.

And that includes alcohol. I'm Dr. Brooks Scheller, the author of How to Eat to Change How You Drink,

and I am back on Ever Forward Radio. All right, fam, listen up. Let's talk gut health, because if

you're like me, you've had those moments. You eat a big meal, you're feeling good, and then boom,

you're bloated, sluggish, and wondering why your pants suddenly hate you i've been there and i thought

okay maybe i need a detox maybe i need to cut out everything fun right but then i found something

that actually works peaks puir tea i'm not kidding when i say this stuff has really changed the game

i love starting my mornings with greenpool. And let me tell you,

it's like flipping a switch on that gut health game. I get this calm, focus energy that doesn't

come with the caffeine genders or that dreaded afternoon crash. And even after meals,

this is where I reach for Blackpool. It's my go-to. It's smooth, earthy. It leaves me feeling light and balance instead of like I just swallowed a brick. But here's the kicker. Poor tea isn't just tea. It's fermented, which means it's loaded with living probiotics and prebiotics that actually support my gut health. It's like a reset button for my microbiome.
