Description
Are you struggling with the pressure to drink during the holiday season? In this episode, multi-award winning health coach Sarah Rusbatch shares how alcohol affects women differently than men, particularly during midlife and perimenopause. She shares powerful insights about gray area drinking, the concerning rise of liver disease in younger women, and how the alcohol industry specifically targets female consumers.
Key Highlights:
- The surprising definition of binge drinking - just two large glasses of wine can classify as a binge drinking session
- Sarah explains how having "just one drink" often leads to negotiating with yourself and losing control
- Females produce less alcohol-metabolizing enzymes than men, making them more susceptible to liver disease
- The rise of liver disease in younger women - now among top three causes of death in women aged 39-45
- How alcohol companies specifically target women
- Sarah discusses how to navigate social situations and set boundaries during the festive season
- Breaking free from the "party girl" identity
- Boredom, stress, and loneliness - addressing these root causes
