That means your body’s messages get scrambled. Hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and thyroid can’t do their job properly, and you’re left with a backlog of “floating” hormones that can contribute to weight gain, PMS, fatigue, or even long-term hormonal disruption.

This is such a great explanation of how alcohol is metabolized in the body.

Alcohol metabolism and why a few drinks linger longer than you think...

Your body processes >90% of ethanol in the liver, but the path creates toxic byproducts and drains key cofactors.

1️⃣ Step 1: Ethanol → Acetaldehyde
Alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) converts ethanol to acetaldehyde, a far more toxic molecule.
💡 Example: Acetaldehyde is 10–30x more toxic than ethanol and drives hangovers.

2️⃣ Step 2: Acetaldehyde → Acetate
Aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH2) detoxifies acetaldehyde to acetate. Genetic variants slow this step, causing the flush response.
💡 Example: ~30–50% of East Asians have ALDH2 deficiency, leading to red flushing and higher cancer risk.

3️⃣ Step 3: Acetate → Acetyl-CoA
Acetate is converted into Acetyl-CoA for energy, but excess NADH shifts it into fat storage.
💡 Example: Chronic drinking promotes fatty liver because metabolism favors lipogenesis.

4️⃣ Cofactors Required
Both ADH and ALDH consume NAD⁺, creating a redox imbalance. Zinc is essential for ADH function, and glutathione helps mop up aldehyde damage.
💡 Example: Heavy drinking depletes NAD⁺ and glutathione, impairing energy metabolism and antioxidant defense.

5️⃣ Systemic Effects
Excess NADH raises lactic acid, blocks fat burning, and impairs gluconeogenesis. Acetaldehyde damages DNA and mitochondria.
💡 Example: This is why alcohol can cause both hypoglycemia and rapid fat gain.

6️⃣ What Can Help?
No hack accelerates clearance beyond ~1 drink/hour, but cofactors can reduce collateral damage:
Taurine supports acetaldehyde detox and membrane stability.
NAC restores glutathione.
B1, B3, B6 support alcohol dehydrogenase activity.
💡 Example: NAC + taurine supplementation has been shown to blunt acetaldehyde toxicity in experimental studies.

7️⃣ The Takeaway
Alcohol metabolism is an NAD⁺-draining, oxidative stress-driven process. You can’t outrun liver capacity, but you can support cofactors that protect cells.
💡 Example: Think of alcohol clearance like a one-lane road. You can’t make it faster, but you can repair the guardrails.
Your liver clears alcohol on its own schedule. Zinc, taurine, glutathione, and B-vitamins help reduce the metabolic fallout, but nothing cancels the 1-drink-per-hour rule.

Research shows glucose tolerance peaks in the morning, meaning your body handles carbs better at breakfast than it does at dinner.

𝙒𝙝𝙮? Because your insulin secretion, clearance, and cell sensitivity all follow your circadian rhythm (your internal clock).

Even the thermic effect of food (aka how much energy your body uses to digest and absorb it) is higher in the morning, so you’re burning more just by eating earlier.

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗸𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗿👇
When glucose control + insulin sensitivity are strong, your body stores less fat and uses more energy.
When they’re weak (hello, late-night snacks 🍫), your body leans toward fat storage instead.

Front-load your meals, eat more earlier in the day, and keep dinner light.

Every day, our bodies are exposed to a cocktail of chemicals, from household cleaners and skincare products to plastics, paint, and even furniture. Many of these contain endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) that interfere with your hormones, mimicking or blocking their natural signals.

When that happens, your body can’t perform its usual hormone-driven reactions, leading to fatigue, hormonal imbalances, sluggish thyroid function, weight changes, or even fertility issues.

The key? 𝐀𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬, 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐟𝐞𝐚𝐫. You don’t need to throw out your entire home, simply begin to replace things as they run out with low-tox, hormone-friendly alternatives. 𝙀𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙨𝙢𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙛𝙩 𝙡𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙨 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙗𝙤𝙙𝙮’𝙨 𝙩𝙤𝙭𝙞𝙘 𝙡𝙤𝙖𝙙.
