What Alcohol Does to Your Body After 40 (My Honest Story) | Unf*ck Your Midlife Ep. 2

Does that nightly glass of wine affect your sleep, hormones, and fat loss more than you think?

In Episode 2 of Unf*ck Your Midlife: 12 Weeks to Hot AF, we're talking all about alcohol after 40, why hangovers hit harder in midlife, and how drinking can affect your health and fitness goals. I'm sharing my personal experience with alcohol, from relying on wine during stressful seasons of life to finding a healthier balance at 48. We're getting into how alcohol can affect sleep quality, fat burning, muscle recovery, hormones, cravings, and energy levels, plus why counting calories doesn't tell the whole story!

But this isn't about taking away your wine or telling you to stop having fun. It's about understanding what alcohol might be doing to your body and finding a balance that works for your lifestyle. I'm sharing four practical strategies to help you rethink your drinking habits, along with some of my favorite non-alcoholic drink swaps that still make happy hour feel special.
