If you have always been sensitive to alcohol, your body may be trying to tell you something deeper.

If you've always been told you're just "sensitive to alcohol" you need to read this.

Because there's a reason some women feel absolutely terrible after even one drink. And it has nothing to do with tolerance or willpower.

It does has everything to do with your liver, your genes and your oestrogen.


Your body clears alcohol and oestrogen through the same liver detoxification pathway. Specifically, a process called methylation. When methylation doesn’t have what it needs to do its thing- (genetic variants like MTHFR, B vitamin deficiency, chronic stress, gut issues), your liver simply cannot keep up with both.

So they compete, and end up at the same bottleneck.


Oestrogen builds up, recirculating, accumulating in tissue and driving the symptoms so many women are told are just "part of being a woman": Endometriosis. Fibroids. Hormonal migraines. Rage before your period. Agonising periods.

Acetaldehyde builds up → one drink and you're flushing, anxious and headachy for 24 hours.


Your symptoms are not random, this is one problem coming out in different ways. Entirely addressable through targeted nutritional support.

You are not too sensitive. You are not imagining it. Your body has been asking for support, in the only language it has.
