Gwyneth Paltrow links worsened menopause symptoms to increased drinking during L.A. wildfires, Goop pledges $2M aid.

Gwyneth Paltrow discussed her menopause symptoms on her Goop podcast, attributing their worsening to her increased alcohol consumption during the Los Angeles wildfires. She normally limits herself to one drink per week but admitted to drinking nightly during the fires, which exacerbated her insomnia and anxiety. Paltrow also announced that Goop will donate $2 million worth of products to assist wildfire victims. Dr. Mary Clare Haver, a guest on the podcast, explained that perimenopause can be a chaotic period due to hormonal shifts.
