How Alcohol Impacts Your Mood, Mental Health and Weight Loss Goals

In this solo episode of Let’s Talk About It with Lori Streator, I broke down the truth about alcohol and mental health. We're discussing how it affects your mental health, mood, energy and even your ability to lose weight and take care of your physical health.  

If you’ve ever said “I just need a drink to relax,” this episode will help you understand what’s actually happening in your body when you sit down on your couch with that glass of wine. 

In this episode, I address:

• How alcohol impacts the your mood and mental health

• Why alcohol might temporarily calm you, but increase anxiety and depression later

• The connection between alcohol, sleep, and recovery

• How drinking can quietly affect your metabolism and weight loss goals

This isn’t about shame or demonizing alcohol, it’s about awareness and empowering you to make decisions that support your goals. Whether you’re sober-curious or simply want to feel more in control of your mental health, this conversation will help you rethink your relationship with alcohol and your wellness.
