30 | Blood Sugar & Alcohol: How To Reduce The Effects of Alcohol On Perimenopause (Pt. 2) [SUMMER SERIES]

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.
