Alcohol
*Alcohol*
While most women know that alcohol is unhealthy for a growing fetus, many women might not know how deeply alcohol impacts our hormones, whether or not we’re pregnant!
Alcohol is a potent form of sugar, therefore drinking alcohol disrupts blood sugar balance just like eating sugar and refined carbs!
Alcohol also severely limits the action of the hypothalamus and pituitary gland, the two areas of your brain that control hormonal output for our entire endocrine system.
Regular alcohol intake also reduces testosterone production, increases cortisol levels, and wreaks havoc on our insulin levels.
If you absolutely must drink alcohol, stick to organic dry wines or high quality clear liquor mixed with club soda and fresh lemon.
