Jolene Park: Transforming Gray Area Drinking with Science and Compassion

Gray area drinking is that small, silent voice inside that when you wake up at three in the morning after drinking more than you wanted to, yet again feeling the heart palpitations, you know the sweating nausea and then silently saying to yourself: I'm not going to do this again, and the next night they do it again, or so it's that it's that cycle.
Imagine being stuck in a cycle of drinking that never quite hits rock bottom but still feels impossible to break. In this episode of 'The Now What Society', hosts Tamar Medford and Lane Kennedy sit down with Jolene Park, a leading expert on Gray Area Drinking. Jolene’s TED talk has resonated with over 300,000 viewers, and her unique approach combines nutrition, somatic experiencing techniques, and the latest neuroscience to help people quit drinking and stay sober.
She brings a wealth of knowledge from her 25 years of studying addiction science and her extensive work in corporate wellness and private coaching. Jolene talks about her own journey through Gray Area Drinking, highlighting how it differs from more severe forms of addiction. She shares signs to watch for and offers practical advice on breaking free from this middle ground of drinking.
The discussion also touches on the critical connection between brain and gut health, the grounding benefits of nature, and the importance of taking small, manageable steps towards sobriety. This episode is a treasure trove of insights for anyone looking to understand their drinking habits better and find sustainable ways to live alcohol-free. Whether you're personally struggling or supporting someone who is, Jolene’s compassionate and science-backed methods offer a refreshing perspective on recovery.
