Mood Swings, Hot Flashes & Sleepless Nights? Sip Through the Shift with Jeng

There’s a chapter of life that doesn’t get nearly enough airtime.

It slips in quietly—one day you feel like yourself, and the next… everything’s different.

Welcome to the shift: the powerful, natural evolution that is perimenopause and menopause.
It’s a transition marked by strength, but often accompanied by symptoms that feel anything but smooth: mood swings, night sweats, anxiety, and those 3 a.m. stare-at-the-ceiling sessions.

For years, your wind-down ritual might’ve been automatic: a glass of wine after work, a cocktail at dinner. Comfort in a glass.
But now? Your tolerance for alcohol has shifted and that same drink might be stirring up more than it’s soothing.

Your body’s shifting. Your rituals should too.

Today’s wellness-forward non-alcoholic drinks are redefining how we care for ourselves, offering sophisticated, satisfying alternatives that actually support your changing needs. It’s time to drink smart, not hard.

What’s Actually Happening: Hormones, Alcohol & Disruption

During perimenopause and menopause, estrogen and progesterone levels take a natural dip, disrupting the hormones that regulate your sleep, mood, and even body temperature. Add alcohol to the mix, and things can get even more chaotic.

Alcohol messes with your REM cycles, intensifies hot flashes, destabilizes your mood, and sends cortisol, the stress hormone already elevated during menopause, skyrocketing.
That’s what some experts call “menopause alcohol intolerance.” And no, it’s not just in your head.

Even a small drink can now lead to big, unpleasant consequences. The nightcap that used to feel like self-care? It might now be a recipe for restless sleep and regret.

But this isn’t about fear—it’s about power. It’s about recognizing that a few intentional tweaks—like swapping booze for buzz-worthy zero-proof sips—can dramatically upgrade how you feel, sleep, and move through your day.

Rethinking the Ritual: From Booze to Buzz-Worthy Alternatives

Let’s be clear: this isn’t about deprivation. It’s about reinvention—reclaiming your energy, your evenings, and your sense of self.

Zero-proof living isn’t a compromise. It’s a conscious, feel-good movement. A shift toward drinks that elevate your mood, not your blood pressure. Toward beverages that bring the buzz, minus the booze.

Women going through menopause aren’t becoming sober-curious out of necessity—they’re making empowered, intentional choices. And lucky for us, today’s options are a far cry from sugary mocktails or basic sparkling water.

The new wave of alcohol-free drinks—crafted with adaptogens, botanicals, and functional ingredients—is chic, craveable, and genuinely effective. THC-infused cocktails like Jeng offer a mellow, microdosed mood boost that doesn’t mess with your hormones or your sleep.

This isn’t a restriction. It's a relief. And it tastes really, really good.

Why Jeng Works: Calm, Cool, and Alcohol-Free

The habits that once felt comforting might not serve you the same way today, and that’s okay. This chapter is about evolving your rituals to reflect who you are now. With Jeng, you don’t have to give up the ritual. You just elevate it.

Here’s how to make the most of your mellow:

• Evening journaling. Reflect with a chilled Jeng in hand and let the day melt away.
• Pre-bed reading. Swap the nightcap for a hemp-infused spritz and dive into a good book.
• Aromatherapy baths. Lavender, eucalyptus, and a crisp Jeng? Yes, please.
  

Reimagine your wind-down: light a candle, slip into something cozy, queue up your favorite playlist, and sip slowly. Let every part of the ritual remind you: this is not a sacrifice. This is self-care, upgraded.

Celebrations? Bring Jeng. Whether it’s a girls’ night, a birthday toast, or a solo Friday unwind, Jeng turns any moment into a mood-boosting experience—hangover not included.

Build a ritual that fits your rhythm today, not what worked ten years ago. With Jeng, you’re not just sipping, you’re honoring every version of yourself with style, ease, and intention.
