Alright, we’re back with doctor Christine Boev—former ICU nurse and the founder of Master Menopause. If you haven’t heard Part One, we broke down what actually shifts after 35—hormones, workouts, body comp—and how to support yourself or your partner through it. In this second half, we start with Christine’s mic-drop moment: ‘alcohol is fertilizer for cortisol.’ We unpack what that means for stress, sleep, recovery, and why even one or two drinks hit harder as we age. You’ll get real tools if you’re not going fully alcohol-free—like what to choose, how to hydrate, how long it actually takes to bounce back, and what swaps are actually worth it. Let’s get into it.
