Real Stories: The Benefits of Choosing Better Health Over Alcohol
At Elta Ego, we love hearing how our alcohol-free cocktails fit into your lives.
This week, we’re chatting with Nina, a creative soul from the Bay of Islands, about her journey toward better health, hormonal balance, and the perfect alcohol-free ritual.
When Nina started navigating the shifts of peri-menopause, she went on a mission to find natural relief.
"I embarked on a journey to educate myself on how to manage hormonal imbalances. What I hear most consistently, however, is the one thing that has provided the most relief to the women who have given it a go… is to leave out alcohol. So I did!"
The Benefits (Beyond the Mocktail)
For Nina, the change wasn't just about what she was giving up, it was about what she was gaining.
Physical Relief: Her perimenopausal UTI disappeared completely.
Mental Clarity: "The added adaptogens in Elta Ego helped reduce my brain fog and mental fatigue as well. I was so delighted as these three were my most persistent symptoms of hormonal imbalance."
Zero FOMO: Nina still spends her fortnights in Auckland exploring exciting new eateries with her teenagers, just with a clearer head.
Nina’s Advice for the "Sober Curious"
"Just give it a go! You’ll see some improvements in your wellbeing right away, while others take a little bit more time to come to light. You’re not missing out on anything and have so much vitality to gain. There are plenty of alcohol free alternatives these days that taste amazing and give you that good kind of buzz too."
