Nutrition for Mamas

105. Dry January Turned Into More… My realizations around alcohol


Listen Later

Have you ever wondered what would happen if you stopped drinking, even just for a month?

In this episode, I’m sharing my honest experience with Dry January for moms, how it unexpectedly turned into 60+ days alcohol-free, and what I learned about sleep, weight loss, hormones, ADHD, and motherhood along the way.

If you’ve ever used wine to unwind… struggled to lose weight… or questioned your relationship with alcohol, this conversation is for you.

What to Listen For:

  • Why alcohol was disrupting my sleep (and how better sleep boosted my energy almost instantly)
  • The surprising connection between ADHD and alcohol consumption
  • Why one night of drinking can impact your hormones and cravings the next day
  • How alcohol affects leptin and ghrelin (your hunger and fullness hormones)
  • The real impact of alcohol on weight loss and metabolism
  • How alcohol can stall postpartum fitness and health goals
  • What moms need to know about alcohol and breastfeeding
  • How to approach Dry January for moms without extreme or all-or-nothing rules
  • Dry January and taking a break from alcohol  for moms isn’t about restriction. It’s about awareness with your relationship with alcohol and when you use it. 

    If you’re feeling exhausted, stuck in your weight loss journey, struggling with cravings, or just not feeling like yourself… this episode will help you reflect on whether alcohol is helping or hurting your goals.

    If this resonated with you, share it with another mama. And if you’re ready to feel energized, balanced, and confident again after having kids, join my free workshop linked below. I’m cheering for you!
