Gwyneth Paltrow reveals how LA wildfires worsened menopause symptoms

Gwyneth Paltrow made a candid admission about how the recent Los Angeles wildfires made her menopause symptoms worse.

Speaking on Tuesday’s (4 March) episode of her Goop podcast, the actor, 52, explained: “I'm really in the thick of it right now, so I'm all over the place.”

Describing her symptoms, she added: “I noticed my symptoms are, like, pretty well under control unless, you know, in January when the fires were happening in L.A. I've, like, used alcohol for its purpose. I think I drank every night. I was medicating.”

When the fires were raging, Paltrow said she felt “deep grief” for close friends who “lost everything” in the blazes.

She said her company Goop would donate more than $2 million worth of products to charities assisting those afflicted by the fires.
