Have you ever asked yourself why it is that you need or want that glass of wine or beer? Stress, boredom, the social aspect of drinking or something else entirely?

What about the effects that alcohol is having on your health, especially if you are already consuming other things like medications?

In this episode of Menopause Conversations we are joined by special guest, Sarah Rusbatch.

Sarah is a multi award winning Grey Area Drinking Coach, Menopause Coach, Author of the best-selling book 'Beyond Booze', Motivational Speaker and founder of a community of over 20,000 women. She has been featured on ABC News, Mamania, Body & Soul, Women's Health & The Sunday Times and is also a regular contributor on Channel 9.

Sarah has supported thousands of individuals to change their relationship with alcohol with a goal to 'love yourself', and live your best life so we encourage you to take a listen to this fascinating and thought provoking discussion as we talk about:

• The alarming statistics of alcohol consumption in women over 45 & it being on the rise.
• The difference between how women's bodies metabolise alcohol vs men and the increased health risks in older women.
• What you gain when you remove alcohol.
• Why you think you can't do without it and changing your thinking about what that means.
• Grey Area Drinking

• The messaging in both society & marketing around social use, using it to unwind or deal with stress, 'you deserve it', and 'how do I have fun without it?'
• What does an unhealthy relationship with alcohol look like?
• Non-alcoholic wines and other drink replacements.
