Alcohol in Perimenopause: The Tradeoffs Women Need to Understand

from The Revive Wellness Podcast · host Allison Fahrenbach

In this episode, we’re having the honest alcohol conversation women in perimenopause and menopause actually need. Not from a moralizing standpoint. Not from a fear-based standpoint. But from a physiological one. Because you can absolutely choose to keep alcohol in your life. The question is whether you are willing to accept the tradeoffs that come with that choice.We’re talking about how alcohol can amplify midlife symptoms like poor sleep, night waking, hot flashes, cravings, blood sugar swings, worse recovery, and a body that feels less forgiving than it used to. We also get into alcohol’s impact on fat loss, muscle growth, body composition, and why the issue is not alcohol itself...the issue is wanting the outcome while pretending the things working against that outcome do not count. If you care about feeling better, building muscle, improving body composition, and understanding the real cost of your current habits, this episode is for you.Ready to go deeper?If you’re a woman over 40 who feels like you’re doing everything right, but your body still isn’t responding the way it used to...this is exactly the work I do.My coaching is built around identifying what’s keeping your body stuck, rebuilding the environment your hormones need to function, and creating a strategy you can actually execute long enough for it to work.You don’t need more random inputs.You need a body that can respond to the right ones.CLICK HERE TO LEARN MORE!Join me on Instagram!
