As a Franco-American woman there aren’t many things in this world that I love more than a glass of dark dry oaky red wine. I’ve been drinking wine since I was about 4 years old actually. My French grandfather, my Bon Papa, used to fill up my little glass at the lunch table with a mix of water and wine. And I remember feeling so grown up that he would include me in this ritual, because that’s what wine was, and still is, in my family today. Wine is part of our dining ritual. We spend hours at the dinner table eating cheese, drinking wine, talking, laughing...and these are some of my absolute favorite moments.
But, throughout my hormone
healing and health journey, one of the things I couldn’t help but
be curious about was the impact alcohol may be having on my
hormones, and overall health. So, I did a bit of digging and came
up with some pretty interesting findings all of which we’ll be
talking about today. In this episode we’ll be exploring how alcohol
impacts your hormones, why you should eat before you drink, whether
or not red wine is actually healthy, the connection between alcohol
and weight gain, and more!
