Caffeine, Alcohol & Midlife Hormones — Finding Your Balance
Did you know that your favorite cup of coffee or evening glass of wine can affect your hormones in midlife? As your body changes, caffeine and alcohol can have a bigger impact on sleep, hot flashes, anxiety, and more. Let’s break down what’s happening and how to enjoy these in balance.
How Caffeine Affects Midlife Hormones
Caffeine can increase feelings of anxiety and worsen hot flashes in some women.
It may make falling asleep or staying asleep harder — especially if you drink it later in the day.
Everyone’s tolerance is different — notice how your body responds.
How Alcohol Impacts Midlife Symptoms
Alcohol can trigger or worsen hot flashes and night sweats.
It can disrupt deep sleep, leaving you feeling more tired.
Over time, it may affect hormone metabolism in the liver.
