Have you noticed that alcohol just doesn’t hit the same way it used to? Maybe a couple of glasses of wine now leave you wide awake at 2 a.m., sweating, exhausted, anxious, or wondering why you feel so…
If you're a woman over 40 and feeling more anxious, not sleeping well, or disconnected from your body, this podcast is for you.
I'm your host, Jenny Smith, functional medicine health coach, here to help you understand what the heck is happening in perimenopause.
Each week, we're diving into real-life conversations about how our changing hormones impact anxiety, sleep, and stress, and I'll share simple strategies to help you feel normal again.

And I'm going to talk to you today about alcohol, basically what it does in our bodies in perimenopause, how it can contribute to anxiety, mood swings, poor sleep, and just explain to you a little bit more about how our relationship with alcohol can be impacting these areas of our life as we are navigating perimenopause.
