Beth Feraco on Sobriety, Menopause & Fat Loss After 40

What happens when you completely reinvent your life at 42? In this episode of Boss Bitch Radio, I sit down with Beth Feraco to talk about the life-changing decision that set everything else in motion. After quitting alcohol at 42, Beth rebuilt her life from the ground up - finding sobriety, discovering fitness, growing a successful coaching business, and helping thousands of women over 40 take control of their health. This conversation goes far beyond fitness. We get honest about alcohol, menopause, hormones, fat loss, strength training, GLP-1 medications, social media, and what it really takes to create lasting change. Beth shares the lessons she's learned over the past 11 years and why the simplest habits are often the ones that make the biggest difference! If you're navigating midlife, struggling to lose weight, feeling overwhelmed by menopause, or wondering where to start, this episode is packed with practical advice and real-life experience. #WomenOver40 #Menopause #FitnessOver40   Key Takeaways: 00:14 Meet Beth Feraco 02:27 The Moment Everything Changed 04:33 How Fitness Saved Her Life 06:58 Starting a Fitness Journey at 42 08:30 Do You Really Need to Quit Drinking? 11:17 The Truth About Menopause 13:32 Finding the Right HRT Doctor 16:56 The Habits That Actually Work 18:10 Supplements vs. Real Results 18:40 The Truth About GLP-1s 20:43 Portion Sizes Changed Everything 23:39 Why Beth Still Tracks Macros 24:26 How She Grew on Social Media 26:23 Being Yourself Online 28:19 Why She Doesn't Plan Content 30:51 Turning Down Brand Deals 32:59 The Reality of Work-Life Balance 34:30 A Day in Beth's Life 36:35 Growing Beyond 1-on-1 Coaching 39:22 What's Next for Beth 41:18 Get Out of Your Own Way Links mentioned: Connect with Beth Feraco: Instagram: @bethferacofitness TikTok: @bethferacofitness Podcast: Cut the Crap with Beth & Matt Check her out on her website: https://bethferacofitness.com/ Need support?
