It wasn't this big crash and burn thing of the bottom falling out for me, but I was using alcohol in a way that was becoming more and more ineffective for me.
Ever wondered how anxiety, depression, and trauma intertwine with addiction and nutrition? In this episode of the HOME Podcast, Laura McKowen and Holly Whitaker chat with Jolene Park, a functional nutritionist with a treasure trove of knowledge about the 'craving brain'. Jolene's story is both relatable and eye-opening. As a successful woman nearing middle age, she faced the challenge of letting go of her idealized family dreams, which led her to develop an unhealthy relationship with alcohol.
Her journey is not unique but is rarely discussed openly. Jolene bravely shares her experiences publicly for the first time, offering a candid look at her struggles and triumphs. The conversation dives deep into how childhood trauma can set the stage for addiction and how practices like yoga and breathwork can aid in recovery. Jolene also provides practical tools and resources for those on their own recovery journeys.
This episode is a goldmine of insights for anyone dealing with addiction or supporting someone who is. Tune in to hear Jolene's compelling story and gain valuable knowledge on navigating the complexities of addiction, trauma, and nutrition.
