Today’s episode is the second in our new sober curious series. This week we brought on Yale-trained, board-certified family physician Dr. Aviva Romm to talk about the impact of alcohol on our hormones and neurophysiology researcher and director of Neuro Athletics, Louisa Nicola to speak to the impact on the brain.
On this episode, we talk about:
- how alcohol impacts your hormones, including irregular periods & fertility
- the shocking link between alcohol and breast cancer in women
- what people with PCOS & endometriosis need to know about drinking alcohol
- alcohol’s effect on your circadian rhythm & cortisol levels
- exactly why and how alcohol impacts mental health, including dopamine, serotonin, and more
- why alcohol feels energizing even though it’s a sedative (plus, how to get that effect without drinking)
- a lifestyle habit that can literally reverse negative impacts of alcohol
- the best type of workout for repairing brain health
- what you can do to support your brain before or after a night out
- a neuroscience-backed way to feel calm without reaching for a drink
- and so much more!
