Sober Powered: The Neuroscience of Being Sober Gillian Tietz, MS, CPRC Why do some people stay sober and others relapse back and forth? Getting sober isn’t about restriction, it’s about rewiring your brain to function without intensity, chaos, dopamine spikes, and avoidance.Hosted by Gill Tietz, a former biochemist turned sober coach, this show dives into the neuroscience of long-term sobriety — why some people relapse, why others stay free, and how to build the kind of brain that can handle life without alcohol.Each episode blends science, psychology, and real experience to help you strengthen the four pillars of neuro-resilience:1. Neural Recovery – healing your brain’s reward and stress systems after alcohol.2. Emotional Regulation – calming reactivity and learning to feel without escaping.3. Cognitive Rewiring – changing the thought patterns that pull you backward.4. Behavioral Integration – designing routine
