Menopause and Alcohol: Kate Beavis' Eye-Opening Insights

Not only can alcohol mask the symptoms of menopause or perimenopause, it can also hugely exaggerate them.
What happens when you mix menopause with alcohol? Kate Beavis, a passionate menopause awareness advocate, joins Sharon Hartley and Ben Anderson on 'Sobriety Unplugged' to shed light on this often overlooked topic. Kate, who proudly describes herself as someone 'refusing to age appropriately', dives into her personal journey of going alcohol-free and how it has positively impacted her experience with menopause.
But it’s not just her story that’s compelling; it’s the science and observations she shares about how alcohol can exacerbate menopause symptoms like hot flushes, night sweats, and mood swings. Imagine trying to navigate the already challenging waters of menopause, only to find that your evening glass of wine is making things worse. That’s exactly what Kate discovered, and she’s here to share her findings.
This episode isn’t just for women; men will also find value in understanding how alcohol can affect the women in their lives. Beyond the menopause discussion, Kate offers tips on hosting alcohol-free weddings that are inclusive and enjoyable for all guests. And if you’re curious about alternative ways to boost your well-being, Sharon and Ben wrap up the episode with their experiences of forest bathing—a practice that connects you with nature and brings clarity to your life.
Whether you’re dealing with menopause yourself, supporting someone who is, or simply interested in leading a healthier lifestyle, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice. Tune in for a conversation that’s both informative and inspiring.
