Are you drinking too much alcohol in midlife? - with Dr Nzinga Harrison

  • Summary

  • With one in three women saying they drink more alcohol since becoming peri or menopausal, Dr Nzinga Harrison joins Liz on this podcast to share why she wants us to rethink what we know about drug and alcohol addiction.


    In this episode, Nzinga, who is board-certified in psychiatry and addiction medicine, talks Liz through why the menopause may alter our relationship with alcohol, and emphasises that addiction is treatable and chronic, rather than being a choice or a moral failure.


    Nzinga shares a four-question screener known as CAGE, which you can do yourself to identify whether you may be struggling with addiction.


    They also cover how we can best support our loved ones through addiction and why language matters here.
