Not Drinking (Alcohol) Today Podcast

What if you could navigate the complexities of menopause with a little help from nutrition and lifestyle changes? Join us for a meaningful conversation with registered nutritionist and author Emma Bardwell, as we delve into the lesser-known facets of menopause and its impacts. Emma provides startling insights into Peri-Menopause, a phase that can span up to 12 years. We uncover how many women, unsure of what to expect during this period, use alcohol as a coping mechanism, leading to further health complications. Emma stresses the importance of vitamins and minerals, emphasizing the need for increased awareness during this transformative time.
Have you ever thought about the interplay between alcohol and estrogen during menopause? Our discussion further explores how alcohol consumption during menopause can mess with estrogen levels, potentially affecting mental and physical health. We critique how society often downplays menopause compared to puberty, and call for more attention and support for women in this phase of life. Emma provides her expert take on hormone replacement therapy, its potential risks, and how it can be a game-changer for some women.
Emma underscores the importance of nutrition, lifestyle adjustments, exercise, sleep, and stress reduction in managing menopause. She sheds light on the role of a nutritionist in providing advice on intermittent fasting and nutrition for weight management. She also highlights the power of community, both online and offline, and the support that can be found within these spaces. We also delve back into the risks surrounding alcohol consumption during menopause. Tune in to gain insights into the foundations of navigating menopause and the impact of hormone therapy on menopausal women.
