In this episode, Maureen and Jolene Park dive into the concept of Gray Area Drinking, a spectrum of alcohol use that doesn’t fit neatly into traditional categories.

It’s not rock-bottom drinking, but it’s also not the occasional social drink—it’s the space in between where many high-functioning, health-conscious individuals find themselves questioning their habits.

Jolene, a pioneer in the Gray Area Drinking movement, explains how alcohol impacts neurotransmitters and the nervous system, making it harder to change drinking patterns with willpower alone. She introduces her NOURISH Method, a science-based approach that focuses on physiology before psychology to help break free from alcohol reliance in a sustainable way.

We also explore:
✅ The science behind alcohol’s effect on neurotransmitters and stress response
✅ Why traditional approaches to quitting often miss the mark
✅ The role of intentional activities in supporting emotional resilience
✅ How coaches can better support clients using a functional nutrition approach

Jolene’s insights have deeply influenced my own coaching, and I’m excited to share her wisdom with you.
