Dr Brooke Scheller: GLP-1s & Sobriety: Can These Medications Curb Alcohol Cravings?

In this episode, we dive into the buzzy world of GLP-1 medications (like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro) and how they might do more than just curb appetite, they might help you lose the desire to drink altogether. Dr. Brooke breaks down the science behind how these medications impact your brain’s reward system and why they might be a game-changer for the sober-curious.

✨ HIGHLIGHTS: – What exactly are GLP-1s, and how do they work in the body – How these meds may reduce alcohol cravings and “cut the loop” of reward-seeking – Why people on GLP-1s often feel like their drinking habits shift naturally – The double-edged sword: why it’s not a magic bullet and how deeper healing still matters – The future of biohacking sobriety with food, supplements, and yes—medications

🔥 FAVORITE QUOTE: “GLP-1s don’t just turn off hunger—they can quiet the part of the brain that seeks relief and reward through alcohol.” — Dr. Brooke Scheller

📓 JOURNAL PROMPT: If your desire to drink suddenly vanished, what would that version of you do with all the extra energy, time, and clarity?
