In this episode of The Beyond Bloated Podcast, we dive into a rarely discussed topic: how alcohol can disrupt gut health and throw hormone balance into disarray. Host Karlee Close sits down with Alcohol-Free Life Coach and Hormone Balancing Expert Elly Young to explore the surprising ways alcohol affects women’s bodies—from increasing gut permeability (leaky gut) to disrupting estrogen levels, spiking cortisol, lowering progesterone, and even triggering insulin resistance.

Elly shares eye-opening insights on how alcohol impacts the balance of good bacteria in the gut, disrupts sleep for days, and fuels inflammation—all factors that can lead to long-term health issues. Together, they discuss practical steps for reclaiming gut and hormonal health, even if reducing or quitting alcohol feels daunting.

Tune in to uncover the hidden impact of alcohol on your gut and hormones, and learn empowering tips to support your body’s natural balance.
