Holiday Hormones How to Enjoy the Festive Season Without the Crash | #0094 | The Menopause Unscripted Podcast
Episode 94
Sunday, 16 November, 2025

Check the link at the bottom of the description to join our FREE Group.Here’s the episode at a glance—so you can hit play with zero hesitation.I’m talking straight about “holiday hormones”: how to enjoy the festive season without the crash, the guilt, or the month-long spiral. The big truth I want you to hear? One or two days of celebration will not undo your hard work. What derails progress is letting one big meal turn into three weeks (or three months!) of “festival mode”.In this episode I share:Why midlife bodies are more sensitive to alcohol, sugar, stress and poor sleep—and how that shows up in your mood, bloat, cravings and motivation (yes, even with HRT and a great routine).The simple rule that protects your hormones and headspace: enjoy the day fully, then return to normal nourishing foods the very next day—protein, veg, hydration, repeat.Party-proof tactics that actually work: eat a protein-rich meal before you go out, alternate alcohol with water (or make it a spritzer), choose low-sugar mixers, and prioritise sleep and a walk over “punishment workouts”.How to set boundaries that keep cortisol in check—share the hosting, ask others to bring a dish, stop stockpiling sweets “for later”, and get leftovers out of the house.What to do if you overdo it (no name-calling, no crash diets, no compulsive weigh-ins). Regulate, walk, and slip straight back into your habits.Why consistency on the other 363 days is what shapes your results—and how to protect new habits so they hold up anywhere, from office parties to family feasts.If you’re ready to celebrate without self-sabotage—and start January feeling steady instead of “restarting” again—press play. I’ll walk you through the mindset, the science, and the exact moves to enjoy the season guilt-free while keeping your energy, mood and confidence intact.Facebook Group: Perimenopause & Weight Loss Revolution: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/groups/perimenopauseandweightlosscommunity
