The Go-to Podcast for Midlife Women Who Want To Balance Hormones Naturally
Ugh. I feel so bloated. I’m retaining more water than the Hoover Dam.
What? Not another pimple? It’s like puberty all over again!
Sleep? What’s that like? (I forget.:＜)
Umm, I just turned 40….. Aren’t I too young for this?!?

Hello Friend.
(Can I call you “friend”? ‘Cuz we’re already friends in my head:) Welcome to Are You There, Midlife? It’s Me, Monica.
I’m Monica Lane Topete, Certified Nutrition & Health Life Coach, Peri+ Menopause Educator, and Natural Hormone Balance Expert. And I’m on a mission to help women in midlife balance their hormones naturally without drugs, doctors (or divorce!)
It wasn’t too long ago when perimenopause came crashing through my door with a ton of luggage (‘cuz she was prepared to stay for A WHILE!) I remember how overwhelmed, anxious, and pretty much clueless I was about what was happening to my body…and how desperate I was for a diagnosis! But, after SEVERAL visits to my doctor who gave me a clean bill of health and lab results that came back “within normal range,” I finally decided to take my health into my own hands.
I spent OVER A YEAR combing through PubMed research studies, taking online courses in naturopathy and functional and integrative medicine, and becoming my own human guinea pig to crack the hormone code and create a research-based program to balance my hormones naturally, put the kibosh on my most frustrating perimenopause symptoms, and lose stubborn weight–and keep it off–for more than 10 years!
And now, I want to share it with you.
Join me as I demystify the hormonal transition in midlife and spill the ”tea” on what to expect when you’re expecting perimenopause…and beyond. From anxiety to insomnia, body fat to funky body odor (yeah, that’s a thing!), I’ll unpack all the ”weird stuff” going on inside our midlife bodies, plus give you the latest science and holistic solutions to balance it all.
There IS a way you can balance your hormones that doesn’t involve band-aid solutions like antidepressants or birth control pills (which are a BIG mistake! HUGE!)...and that only provide temporary relief without fixing the root problem.
In this podcast, you’ll learn how to:
- End painful periods, menstrual headaches, and PMS
- Improve your sleep, reduce night sweats, and increase your overall energy
- Reduce hormonal depression and anxiety–WITHOUT meds!
- Alleviate symptoms of inflammation like joint pain, hair loss, gut issues, and allergies
- Move the scale on stubborn weight and belly fat (and never starve yourself again!)
- Talk to your partner about perimenopause (without sounding like you’re totally insane!)
It’s TIME to take back control of your hormones and show ‘em who’s boss...so you can reclaim your confidence and feel like 'you ' again.
...Without ever stepping foot inside a doctor’s office or resorting to crazy hormone pellets.
No need to make an appointment or even change outta your PJs. Just come as you are and join me every Tuesday as we discuss ALL things hormones in midlife–with a bit of saucy humor.
(‘Cuz laughing is better than crying, unless it makes you pee.:)

Hey friend,
Today, I’m continuing my “6 Weeks To Summer” podcast series where I unpack the 7 most common hormonal imbalances in perimenopause and how they contribute to weight loss resistance.
In today’s episode, I’m taking a deep dive into Estrogen Dominance. The most common hormone imbalance in women in perimenopause, Estrogen Dominance affects an estimated half of all women in the U.S. over age 35! (Including yours truly.:)
In today’s episode, you’ll learn:
-
What is your estrogen to progesterone ratio and why it is important
-
What causes high estrogen in women?
-
What causes low progesterone?
-
What are some Estrogen Dominance symptoms?
-
Can Estrogen Dominance cause weight gain?
-
And can high estrogen symptoms or low progesterone symptoms resolve on their own?
Plus, I’ll share 3 quick tips to help you reverse estrogen dominance and move the dial on stubborn weight gain just in time for summer!
If you’re dealing with hormonal symptoms that just won’t go away or lab test results that say your estrogen and progesterone levels are “within normal range” even though you know something’s just not right, this episode is for you.
