When your hormones are dysregulated, drinking feels like the only relief. Which is why so many women get stuck in the loop. You drink because you feel anxious and off. You wake up feeling worse. Your hormones swing harder. You drink to level out. And the cycle keeps going.
Alcohol disrupts your hormones in three major ways:
- It spikes your cortisol- Your stress hormones stay elevated long after the drink is gone. That wired-but-tired feeling at night? The anxiety the next morning? The irritability? That’s cortisol stuck in overdrive.
- It messes with your melatonin- You may fall asleep fast, but your sleep isn’t restorative. Fragmented sleep throws your hunger, cravings, mood, and cycle completely out of sync.
- It destabilizes your sex hormones- Estrogen and progesterone take a hit. That can look like heavy periods, intense PMS, breakouts, bloating, irregular cycles, and mood swings out of nowhere.
The good news: hormones respond FAST when you remove the stressors and give your body what it needs.
