You know what dementia looks like up close and personal.
Maybe you’ve sat with a parent through the slow progression of neurodegenerative decline. Maybe you’re still sitting there.
Maybe you know your APOE 3/4 or APOE 4/4 genetic status and want to act on that information. Maybe all of the above.
Â
And somewhere in all of it, a fear took hold that you can’t shake:
“Is this going to be you?”
That fear makes sense. It's information to take notice of and motivate you forward,
because there's a lot more you can do than you've been told.
Â
Rewriting Your Story is where people who are walking this path find each other
and do something about it. Together.
Who this is for
- You've watched a parent move through Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Lewy body, or another form of neurodegenerative decline, and somewhere along the way, the fear of your own future took hold
- You're currently advocating for a parent and trying to protect your own brain health at the same time, both running in parallel, both exhausting
- Your parent has passed away and you finally have space to turn toward your own health
- You've seen what this disease does up close. Maybe you know you carry an APOE4 variant. Either way, you're not willing to leave your brain health to chance.
Many people in this community identify with more than one of these categories. What they share is what matters: the desire to write a different story for themselves.
The CommunityÂ
The meetings are the heart of it all, the foundation upon which everything is built.
Throughout the month, live Zoom gatherings make it easy to find a time that fits your schedule. These are spaces where people who truly understand come together to support one another, share encouragement, spark inspiration, and bring hope to a journey that can so often feel isolating.
Prevention is what unites us. People matter most.
Â
Â
What the meetings look like:
- Prevention-forward conversations rooted in real-life experience: what's actually working in metabolic health, exercise, sleep, nervous system regulation support, stress reduction, eliminating toxins and infections, and much more!
- Real talk about fear, genetics, grief, and what's genuinely possible, the conversations you can't have anywhere else
- A room where you are lifted up, inspired, and reminded that you are not alone in this
- Monthly live calls (that will be recorded in case you can't make it live) with guest experts, practitioners, researchers, and thought leaders working outside the conventional system who are actually moving the needle on brain health and cognitive decline

The Resource Library
25 years of wellness. Three years deep in dementia prevention. Everything learned and discovered along the way is yours from day one.
Protect Your Brain
Here's what's actually behind cognitive decline, and what you can do about it:
- Metabolic health, hormone health, gut health, sleep apnea, oral health, physical activity, chronic stress, toxin burdens, chronic infections, vascular health, hearing loss, generational trauma, loneliness, vision and eyesight, unresolved trauma, concussions, and so much more
- Introductions to the functional (preventive) neurologists and the practitioners who are actually reversing cognitive decline
- Techniques to build your nervous system capacity and measurably lower stress, the practical application that's critically important to neurological health and largely missing from most dementia prevention spaces.
- The Gray Area Drinking-Dementia Connection. Especially significant if you carry an APOE 4 variant
Â
Advocating for a Parent Shouldn't Come at the Cost of Your Health
If you’re currently advocating for a parent through their neurodegenerative decline, the system is a second assault on your own brain. The chronic stress of fighting the broken "sick-care" machine, forced to make impossible decisions, and absorbing the weight of it all, is itself a risk factor for cognitive decline.
- Insider knowledge on the best memory care environments, what to look for, what to avoid, and the support nobody gives you when exploring these options
- Where to report neglectful care and hold administrators, providers, and facilities accountable to the standard of care that everyone deserves
- How to navigate a system (and hospitals!) that was never designed for dementia patients and their familiesÂ
- Burnout protective factors, the specific practices that repair nervous system damage from long-term caregiving stress, and fighting the system on your own
Â
Holistic and Spiritual End-of-Life Planning For Yourself
We plan holistic births. It’s time we plan and make holistic deaths more commonplace as well.
The people taking the most intentional prevention steps are also the ones who want to die well if prevention isn’t enough. Having watched a parent move through a system that may not have honored who they are, you have a rare and powerful opportunity to plan differently. For yourself. Now, while you can.
- Creating your health proxy, and the full landscape of options explored with the same rigor you bring to prevention
- Options and information you wish someone had told you before the crisis hit
- What holistic and spiritual end-of-life planning actually looks like. Death doulas, pastoral theology, and dementia care (a great book from Jolene's program at Duke) on how a good death with dementia can be designed, not left to chance
- The conversations to have now, with your family, your doctors, and yourself, and how planning well for the end of life frees you to live more fully right now.
Meet Jolene Park
FUNCTIONAL NUTRITIONIST • SSP PROVIDER •  TED SPEAKER • THEOLOGY, MEDICINE & CULTURE DUKE DIVINITY SCHOOL • 25+ YEARS CLINICAL EXPERIENCE
Jolene Park has been an entrepreneur and functional nutritionist for 25 years. She's trained 400+ coaches in Gray Area Drinking across 12 countries, and her TED Talk on the topic has over 500,000 views. She is an SSP (Safe and Sound Protocol) provider, has completed advanced training in Dr. Cathleen King's Primal Trust practitioner program, and is a student at Duke Divinity School, pursuing a graduate certificate in Theology, Medicine, and Culture.
And then her father was diagnosed with dementia.
What followed was a crash course on a current system that fails dementia patients and their families. She stepped in to advocate for him when he could no longer do so, filed incident reports at the state and county levels, and refused to accept care that fell short of what he deserved. Then, through relentless searching, she found the private consultants most families never find, and eventually the best memory care facility in Colorado. However, all of this came at a cost. The stress of navigating that system temporarily showed up in her body. That's not a metaphor. That's what chronic sympathetic activation does.Â
This community and everything inside it is born from that experience and from the conviction that other people shouldn't have to figure this out alone, with exorbitant out-of-pocket costs, in the middle of their own family crisis.
Everything she has learned, clinically, personally, and spiritually, at the intersection of dementia care, neuroscience, nervous system research, functional nutrition, meaning-making, and the connection between alcohol and brain health, she is bringing here.
Because the people who need this information most are already carrying more than they can bear. The last thing they need is a scavenger hunt to find the highest-quality support, resources, and care they deserve.

Rewriting Your Story is an educational and peer support community. Jolene Park is a functional nutritionist, not a physician or therapist. Nothing shared here, in meetings, in resources, or in expert calls is intended as medical advice or treatment. If you or a loved one is experiencing cognitive symptoms, please work with a qualified healthcare provider. This community is designed to complement, not replace, medical treatment.
Not the right time for the community, but you believe in what's being built here?
If you've come to this page, connected with the mission, and want to contribute financially without joining right now, thank you. It matters more than you know. Building this has taken everything: time, money, energy, and a year of Jolene's life spent navigating her family crisis while investing heavily in her own health, discovering firsthand what actually works, even as she hasn't been receiving income for most of this past year.
A one-time contribution of any amount goes directly toward getting this community off the ground and keeping it running for the people who need it most. You're not just supporting a launch. You're investing in someone who has lived every dimension of this, as a clinician, as a daughter, as a person working to care for her own body and health in real time, and is determined that others won't have to piece together everything she has had to find the hard way.
