Description
Hey friend!
Have you been “celebrating” a lot this summer? (And by “celebrating” I mean drinking.)
“Celebrating” is synonymous with summer. From commemorating summer holidays like Memorial Day, the Fourth of July, Father’s Day, and Labor Day weekend–to celebrating kids graduating from high school and college–to weddings, vacations and so much more.
…Many of us have been in “party” mode for the last 3 months!
And there’s nothing wrong with that…UNLESS all that celebrating has taken a toll on your hormones.
Today, I’m continuing my “Hot Flash Summer” podcast series on how to beat the heat and keep your hormones in check so you can live your best “Hot Girl Summer.”
In the Hot Seat today: Summer drinking, and how alcohol can affect and even exacerbate a hormonal imbalance
Alcohol can affect our hormones any time of year, but when we combine the heat and humidity of the summer along with the frequency in which we drink, it can really kick our perimenopausal and menopausal symptoms into overdrive.
In today’s episode, we will unpack:
How alcohol causes vasomotor symptoms like hot flashes and headaches
The dehydrating affects of alcohol on your skin, sleep, and energy
The connection between alcohol, uterine fibroids, and Estrogen Dominance
How alcohol causes your libido and serotonin to plummet!
Plus, three reasons why alcohol may be contributing to your summer weight gain
If you’re feeling more hot, tired, or hormotional lately or you’re perpetually living in PMS hell, this episode is for you!
