75. Ditch Alcohol in Midlife: Reclaim Your Energy, Confidence & Clarity w/ Sarah Rusbatch

75. Ditch Alcohol in Midlife: Reclaim Your Energy, Confidence & Clarity w/ Sarah Rusbatch

In this powerful and eye-opening episode of Perimenopause Simplified, Claudia sits down with Grey Area Drinking Coach and bestselling author, Sarah Rusbatch, to unpack the hidden impact of alcohol on women's health, especially during perimenopause. From anxiety and sleep issues to weight gain and hormonal disruption, alcohol can quietly wreak havoc – yet it's often the last thing we question. Sarah shares her personal journey, the truth about Grey Area Drinking, and how thousands of women are rethinking their relationship with alcohol in midlife.

If you've ever found yourself relying on that glass of wine to unwind or wondering if it's doing more harm than good, this episode is for you.

What we cover:

  • What Grey Area Drinking really is (and how to know if you fall into it)
  • Why Alcohol Use Disorder has skyrocketed in women over the past 30 years
  • The connection between alcohol and perimenopause symptoms like anxiety, depression, and poor sleep
  • Why so many women shift their drinking habits in midlife and how to know when it's time
  • The biggest benefits women report after ditching alcohol
  • How to start drinking less (without shame, pressure, or perfection)
