Today we talk about different types of drinkers: Trying to find the right language to describe the timeline of a drinker. Did we all start out as Normies? What happens over time, how did we as drinkers change? Are some people in denial? Or is that a negative/unhelpful term? How best can we describe drinkers?

Wellness is not just about eating health food and exercising, Jolene Park tells the ABA Journal’s Stephanie Francis Ward in this episode of Asked Answered. It’s also getting enough time to relax, getting enough sleep and not being stressed out about your job or finances–and employers can play a big role in all of those things. Park is the founder of Healthy Discoveries, a corporate wellness company. She says that something to consider when creating employee wellness programs is that people respond more positively when their actions make them feel better, as opposed to when they’re scared into eating better or working out more. A big part of wellness is being kind to yourself, and managers can go a long way in helping the people they supervise recognize that people need to recharge; everything is not always going to be perfect; and making a mistake is not the end of the world.

On the heels of the She Recovers conference in NYC, where 500 women in recovery gathered to commune and listen to speakers Glennon Doyle Melton, Gabby Bernstein, Elizabeth Vargas, Marianne Williamson, Nikki Myers, Elena Brower, Ann Dowsett Johnston, and many bloggers, Tammi and Sondra recap the event (Tammi attended, Sondra watched via livestream). Details of the event become a perfect segue to talking about the significance of writing, journaling or blogging in recovery. The ladies mention several blogs that helped them in early recovery (Aidan Donnelly Rowley's, Laura McKowen's, Jean McCarthy's Unpickled and Ellie's One Crafty Mother) but emphasize using your writing as a way to process, make connections and experience the power of Me Too. The ladies share their top three tools in their recovery-slash-creativity toolboxes for the week: Sondra's 3 fave things: The Law of Divine Compensation: On Work, Money and Miracles by Marianne Williamson, added hula hooping to her movement toolbox and Jolene Park's Healthy Discoveries website. Tammi's 3 fave things: Bach's Rescue Remedy products, essential oils for anxiety relief and her Ray of Light Interview Series featuring women recovering out loud, as well as her 24-month long Sobriety Milestone Series - both of which can be found on her blog at www.tammisalas.com.

Happy Holidaze! Dazed indeed because the holiday season can be one of the toughest for those of us taking the One Year No Beer challenge. Especially if you have birthdays coming up around this time too. Ruari is celebrating his third alcohol-free birthday, and the podcast we have lined up for today is all about prepping yourself and your body for the upcoming holiday party lineup. Our guest is Jolene Park, a nutrition and health coach with Healthy Discoveries, who combines healthy living with nutritional science in order to help people recover from the hangover and replenish their bodies as they wean themselves off alcohol. “Why are we using sugar in alcohol in the first place?” As anyone who drinks knows, sugar and alcohol take a hell of a toll on your body. Hangovers are no fun, and that’s because both sugar and alcohol deplete your body of the nutrients it desperately needs to heal and function. Proteins, carbs, and fats are the three things your body needs to survive, and drinking will tear away these valuable nutrients in one night. Jolene shares how you can eat the right foodstuffs in order to help your body bounce back. “You want to eat within 30 to 60 minutes of waking up in the morning,” she says. And you want to eat good proteins, like eggs or tofu, combined with the healthy carbs found in fresh veggies and a little bit of the good fats you can get from avocados or coconut oil. All of the nutrients found in these good foods rebuild your brain and help calm your intestinal tract so you can speed up your recovery and reduce your cravings for sugar and/or alcohol later on in the day. Rebuilding your body after alcohol. If you’re on the road to quit drinking, Jolene recommends getting back on a whole food diet. Because the gut and the brain are super connected, your goal is to reduce the stress the booze has on your stomach and intestines in order to give your brain and chance to heal. You can’t skip meals, you can’t start your day off with coffee, tea, and sugar, and you want to find healthy supplements that can fill the gaps you might miss. Drinking can exacerbate pre-existing conditions, like lactose intolerance and IBS, and it will be up to you to make sure you are eating right and eating well in order to give you and your body the best chance at quitting drinking and rebuilding your body.   LINKS & RESOURCESOYNB Website: https://www.oneyearnobeer.com/ OYNB Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/Oneyearnobeer/ OYNB Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/199505820380513/ OYNB Twitter: https://twitter.com/oynbuk/OYNB Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/oneyearnobeer/ JOLENE’S RESOURCESGet coaching with Jolene!Jolene’s Website: Healthy DiscoveriesJolene’s Blog: http://www.healthydiscoveries.com/blog/Jolene’s Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HealthyDiscoveriesWithJolenePark/

In this episode, the girls talk to Jolene Park, a functional nutritionist, and an expert in the craving brain. They talk about the intricate connections between anxiety, depression, trauma, nutrition, addiction, relationships and more. Jolene is a goldmine of experience and resources, and she's got a compelling personal story to back it up. What's more, Jolene's personal story is common, but not often heard: successful woman approaching middle-age comes to terms with closing the window on her idealized image of a family and marriage, and, in the process, develops an unhealthy but 'high-bottom' relationship with alcohol. In the discussion, she bravely shares her story for the first time in a public way. Jolene is the Founder of Healthy Discoveries, where she coaches companies and individuals develop a more complete view of well-being.
