Unlocking Sobriety: Jolene Park on Biochemicals and Creativity

The initial effect, whatever it is, whatever people are using sugar or cigarettes or alcohol or excessive exercise, or you know, whatever the vice or the behavior, the initial effect is positive.
What if you could harness the power of your own body to aid in your recovery journey? In this episode of 'The Unruffled Podcast', hosts Sondra Primeaux and Tammi Salas sit down with functional nutritionist and health coach, Jolene Park. Jolene, who also co-hosts the podcast 'Editing Our Drinking & Our Lives', brings a wealth of knowledge about the physiological reasons behind our drinking habits and how we can create those same feel-good biochemicals without alcohol.
From dopamine to cortisol, and GABA to serotonin, Jolene breaks down the science in a way that's easy to understand and incredibly practical. But it’s not just about the science; creativity plays a massive role in recovery too. Jolene shares how engaging in creative activities can naturally boost those essential biochemicals, making sobriety not just manageable, but enjoyable. She even dives into women's health, the moon cycle, and how these factors intertwine with our well-being.
Plus, you'll get a sneak peek into Jolene's 'Unruffled Toolbox' with tips like the Five Senses Practice, knitting, and taking baths. Whether you're new to sobriety or a seasoned veteran, this episode is packed with actionable insights that could make all the difference in your recovery journey.
