After 365 days without alcohol, Chalene is opening up about the real reasons she took a break — and what totally surprised her along the way. This isn’t some dramatic sobriety story… it’s way more relatable than that. From unexpected health wins to awkward social moments, this episode dives into the good, the weird, and the “wait, no one told me that” parts of quitting drinking. Oh — and whether she’s popping champagne to celebrate? You’ll have to listen to find out.

0:00.0 | Hey, before we get too far, I know I've talked a lot about the supplements that I take in powder |
0:05.5 | form. There's a lot of them. And there's, of course, the things I take in capsule form. But I also |
0:11.4 | take a few things in gummy form. And one of the things that I started taking about a year ago, |
0:17.6 | actually when we were in Europe last year, is saffron. |
0:21.2 | And I started taking it because I heard about quite a few studies that demonstrated that |
0:27.7 | saffron made significant improvements in people's, their ability to reduce their anxiety, |
0:35.9 | to feel more relaxed, to have mental clarity. And of course, that's going to |
0:41.0 | improve your sleep, right? Because that's one of the main reasons why so many of us struggle |
0:46.2 | to sleep and now you lay down and your brain just doesn't stop spinning. So anyways, I looked into it. |
0:52.1 | You know me. I love to see a good study, and there's been a ton of them. |
0:55.9 | In fact, April through July 2025, this is brand new, a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study looking at the impact of taking saffron daily for just three months. And the results I can tell you |
1:14.0 | were pretty astonishing. A marked decrease in depression, anxiety, and stress. 72.3% of the |
1:22.7 | participants in the saffron group achieved significant improvements on their mental state. So talking about having |
1:30.6 | less anxiety. And of course, that I think is one of the reasons why it contributes to fewer |
1:35.7 | sleep disturbances for those especially who are taking the saffron. So listen, I'm definitely not |
1:41.4 | telling you to go off your SSRIs. And if you're on an antidepressant, that's awesome. |
1:45.8 | But if you're one of those people who you've been thinking like, I don't know, I don't what it is, I just, I don't feel as happy as I usually am, or I just feel kind of me. You know what I'm talking about. You can't put your finger on it, but you're like, I'm just not as happy. or maybe I'm dealing with more anxiety or things are bugging me more than they usually do. |
1:44.8 | You've heard me talk about Organify for years. And |
2:06.5 | Organify came out with a saffron gummy. It's actually very, very tasty. So I am going to encourage |
2:14.8 | you, if you're already a customer of Organify, next time you go to |
2:19.5 | place an order, go to Organify.com forward slash Shaline. Use Code Shaline. That always gets you |
2:25.4 | 20% off. I take their immunity daily. I take pure daily. I take their collagen daily. |
