Well, it turns out that more and more women in midlife are answering \u201cyes\u201d to that question. In fact, binge-drinking \u2013 a drinking behavior we have long associated with young frat boys \u2013 is on the rise among women in midlife.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">As a health and fitness coach who works with many women in midlife, I see firsthand how many in this population are busting their middle-aged asses to do all the things to stay healthy \u2013 lifting heavy weights, cranking out intervals, studying food labels, buying organic, booking spa treatments, paying a small fortune on anti-aging supplements and procedures, and actively pursuing personal development.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">And yet \u2026 their relationship to their nightly glasses of wine and its impact on their physical and mental health remains unexplored.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fitbottomedgirls.libsyn.com\/ep-146-the-impact-of-alcohol-on-women-in-midlife-with-krysty-krywko\">In the week\u2019s podcast episode<\/a>, I chat with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/purpledogsober\/\" class=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow\">Krysty Krywko<\/a>, a sobriety coach, educator, writer, mixed media creator, and the founder of <a href=\"https:\/\/purpledogsober.com\" class=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow\">Purple Dog Sober<\/a>, and we dive into a critical topic that resonates with many midlife women\u2014the impact of alcohol on their health and well-being.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">In our conversation, we explore the alarming rise in binge drinking among midlife women, the societal pressures that contribute to these behaviors, the profound detrimental effects of alcohol on mental and physical health, and the unfortunate cultural normalization of daily or near-daily drinking.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">We both share our own deeply personal stories of sobriety, how we learned to choose healthier coping strategies, the importance of informed choices regarding alcohol consumption, and how to recognize when alcohol is no longer serving a positive role in one\u2019s life.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-body font-regular leading-[24px] pt-[9px] pb-[2px]\" dir=\"ltr\">This conversation is essential listening for anyone reassessing their relationship with alcohol, looking for support on their sobriety journey, or interested in understanding the societal pressures leading to these behaviors.
