30 | Blood Sugar & Alcohol: How To Reduce The Effects of Alcohol On Perimenopause (Pt. 2) [SUMMER SERIES]
06 Aug 2024
Hey friend! Did you know today is officially the halfway point of summer? Yep! 47 days down and 47 days to go of sun, fun, and celebrating. (And by “celebrating,” I mean drinking.) If you’re a woman in perimenopause or menopause and you feel like drinking this summer is hitting you a little differently, you may be right. Research shows that hormonal shifts in mid life can affect the way our body metabolizes alcohol which can decrease our alcohol tolerance, increase our hangover severity, and exacerbate our perimenopausal and menopausal symptoms. And if we’re not careful, all of that summer “celebrating” can push us right into a hormonal apocalypse come this Fall! Today, I’m continuing my “Hot Flash Summer” podcast series and sharing 8 ways to reduce the effects of alcohol and keep your hormones in check so you can live your best Hot Girl Summer. In today’s episode, you will learn: Mocktails and the sober curious movement–Is it an option for you? The best low-sugar wine for your hormones How to time your drinking to prevent problems sleeping The 3 best supplements to prevent dehydration symptoms and detoxify the liver Which exercise helps balance blood sugar levels If you’re someone who enjoys her summer cocktails…but not the weight gain, insomnia, or hot flashes it can trigger, this episode is for you. — Next Steps: EP 29 | Is Summer Drinking Sabotaging Your Hormones? 8 Signs Alcohol Is Impacting Your Perimenopause or Menopause Symptoms [SUMMER SERIES]: https://pod.fo/e/25891c EP 26 | Sleepless in Summer: Why You Can't Sleep & 4 Natural Sleep Aids for Better ZZZ’s in Menopause [SUMMER SERIES]: https://pod.fo/e/2530cf Take my FREE Hormone Quiz: https://bit.ly/HormoneSelfAssessment Book a FREE Hormone Clarity Call: https://bit.ly/HCprecall Shop my Favorite Hormone Balancing Supplements And Save 5% or More on Every Order (Enter promo code EUQ1741): https://www.iherb.com/me/HormoneBalance Become A Podcast Insider: https://areyoutheremidlife.com/ Email Me: [email protected] *Disclaimer: Information provided in this podcast is for educational and entertainment purposes only.
