Menopause Coaching in Dorset & Hampshire
Why Does Alcohol Affect Menopause? Alcohol can temporarily make us feel relaxed, but it often increases many of the symptoms women are already struggling with during perimenopause and menopause. Changes in hormones, stress levels and sleep patterns can make the body more sensitive to alcohol than it was in earlier years. Typically occurring between the ages of 45 and 55. It is characterised by a decline in hormone production, particularly Oestrogen and Progesterone, leading to various physical and emotional changes.
