Alcohol is often seen as “normal” or harmless — especially during the holiday season — but many women don’t realize how deeply it can impact hormones, menstrual cycles, PMS, sleep, stress, and fertility.
In this episode of the The Feminine Health Podcast, holistic hormone nutritionist Eliana Petralito, RHNP, breaks down how alcohol interacts with the female body in a simple, non-judgmental, and empowering way.
This conversation is not about restriction or guilt. It’s about understanding your body so you can make informed choices that truly support your hormonal health.
You’ll learn how alcohol affects:
Estrogen and progesterone balance
PMS symptoms and cycle irregularities
Blood sugar and insulin sensitivity
Stress hormones and the nervous system
Sleep quality and circadian rhythm
Liver function and hormone detoxification
PCOS symptoms and fertility support
Eliana also shares why alcohol can feel more disruptive during certain phases of your menstrual cycle, how drinking habits often become automatic rather than intentional, and what to be mindful of during the holiday season when alcohol intake naturally increases.
This episode includes practical, hormone-supportive guidance such as:
When alcohol may be most disruptive in your cycle
How alcohol can worsen PMS, anxiety, acne, and fatigue for some women
Gentle ways to support your body if you choose to drink
How to approach alcohol with awareness rather than extremes
Why taking short breaks from alcohol can be powerful for hormone healing
Whether you’re navigating PMS, irregular cycles, PCOS, fertility concerns, or simply want to feel more balanced and connected to your body, this episode will help you understand how alcohol fits into the bigger picture of women’s hormonal health.
✨ This is an honest, compassionate conversation meant to help you feel informed — not restricted.
