Angela is joined by Sarah Rusbatch, to discuss the hidden health risks of alcohol, particularly for women in midlife. Sarah reveals the physiological reasons why women metabolise alcohol differently than men, leading to increased health risks, and shares the alarming statistic that four out of five women are unaware of the link between alcohol and breast cancer. 
Together they focus on the three core pillars for successful behaviour change: focusing on what you gain, replacing the habit with a positive alternative, and embracing the power of small experiments

Key Takeaways

The Hidden Risks for Women: Women metabolise alcohol less efficiently than men due to lower levels of the alcohol dehydrogenase enzyme, making them more susceptible to alcohol's negative effects
Alcohol's Link to Cancer: One in five breast cancer deaths are linked to alcohol, and the risk increases dose-dependently. Four out of five women are unaware of this direct connection.
The Power of Positive Substitution: Successful behaviour change requires moving the focus from the deprivation (loss aversion) to the gains (e.g., better sleep, more energy, better skin) and replacing the drinking habit with an effective, positive alternative.
Addressing the Root Cause: For many, alcohol is a "solution to the problem" of boredom, stress, or escape. Lasting change requires looking at what alcohol is masking and making fundamental changes to your life
