60 seconds in menopause video transcript:
Does coffee make perimenopause worse? Well, coffee can have a beneficial effect on energy and concentration and that can sound really tempting, but its metabolism can be influenced by factors like smoking and medications, even things like HRT and the pill.
Changing hormones can increase coffee sensitivity and its potential for side effects. So, coffee can ramp up existing rattled perimenopausal symptoms like nervousness, agitation, and irritability.
The sensible thing to do is just to listen to what your body's telling you. If coffee is your pick-me-up, great. But if it's your wind me up and you're left shaking and rattled, then it's time to cut back.
Always have your caffeine on a full stomach after food because that can slow down its absorption. Try a caffeine-free substitute like Bambu, you may like it. And keep yourself cool by targeting symptoms like hot flushes and night sweats. Our Menopause Sage tablets might be useful (these can be used to relieve menopausal hot flushes and sweats).
