A short YouTube conversation (uploaded by Dr. Tabatha Barber on Dec 22, 2023) discussing how alcohol can worsen menopause-related symptoms. Speaker A raises that evening alcohol use (common since COVID) may slow the liver, raise 'bad' estrogen, and increase breast and uterine cancer risk. Speaker B confirms alcohol can trigger systemic effects that provoke hot flashes, anxiety, and mood swings.
Think it's so common for women to use alcohol as a de stressor in the evening, especially since COVID Right. Once your liver starts getting backed up and sluggish from trying to manage all that alcohol, I see bad estrogen just increase and risk of breast cancer and uterine cancer. And so I would love for you to talk about what you guys are seeing in that area.
Yeah, absolutely. So it turns out that, yes, alcohol is absolutely a trigger for a lot of different symptoms because it messes with your entire system. Right. So it can trigger hot flashes, it can trigger anxiety, it can trigger mood swings.
