We all know that alcohol is not good for us, so why is it so hard to quit or cut back?


In this episode of Midlife Rise + Thrive, we’re taking a deep dive into the science behind what alcohol does to your body and why it’s so difficult to change your drinking habits, even when you have the best intentions. Special guest Maureen Benkovich is here to share her approach to going alcohol-free without judgment or shame. 


When Maureen confronted her own challenges with alcohol, she uncovered the insidious cycle of detox and retox prevalent among health and fitness-minded women. As a certified life coach, she empowers others to break free from this cycle, fostering sustainable health and wellness. Her approach combines neuroscience and practical strategies to guide clients toward an alcohol-free, empowered lifestyle.


Topics covered in this episode include:

  • Why alcohol is not good for you 
  • Breaking the detox and retox cycle
  • Your body’s chemical reaction to alcohol 
  • How to shift your mindset around alcohol


Join us for a discussion about physical health, mental health, social relationships, stress, trauma, and so much more.
