***TOP 2% GLOBAL PODCAST*** 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 Coach Coach, Peri+ Menopause Educator, Personal Trainer, NASM Behavior Change Specialist, and Hormone Imbalance Survivor. And I’m on a mission to help women in mid life 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 medicine, and becoming my own human guinea pig to crack the hormone code and create a research-based program that really worked to balance my hormones, put the kibosh on 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. ...Are you tired of dealing with heavy, painful periods that look like a crime scene?… ...Or struggling with symptoms like chronic headaches, fatigue, or brain fog that….(What was I saying again?).... ...Are you beyond frustrated doing “all the things” to lose weight—but are still packing on the pounds faster than a sumo wrestler in training Then, girl, you’re in the right place.:) There IS a way you can balance your hormones naturally 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 feel confident and love yourself 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–wherever you are–as I discuss ALL things hormones in midlife–with a bit of saucy humor.

Hey friend,
So you’ve read all the books. Listened to all the podcasts. Cut out dairy, sugar, caffeine, gluten—basically all joy.
But here you are… still exhausted, still bloated, still waking up at 3 a.m. drenched in sweat, wondering why your hormones are glitching like a bad iOS update.
If you’re starting to think that balancing hormones naturally is a myth, you're not alone.
Because, according to a recent survey, 62% of all women in perimenopause admitted still feeling stuck with nagging symptoms despite having tried MULTIPLE treatments!!!
There’s a reason why so many of us hop from one hormone solution to the next, only to still feel like we’re trapped in a body that’s working against us.
And in today’s episode, I’m breaking down 4 reasons why what you’re doing isn’t working—and the one shift you need to make to balance your hormones and get your energy and body back.
In this episode, you will learn:
✔️ Why treating symptoms instead of root causes is keeping you stuck—and how to finally address what’s really driving your hormone imbalance.
✔️ The impact of our stress and gut health on balancing hormones—and why ignoring these two key hormone disruptors could be making your symptoms worse.
✔️ Why balancing hormones isn’t about “fixing” one thing—it’s about addressing the deeper chain reactions happening inside your body.
✔️ The #1 mistake women make when trying to balance their hormones naturally—and why it could be keeping you stuck in a cycle of symptoms.
✔️ Why hormone balance isn’t a “do everything at once” approach—and why focusing on the right thing first is the key to lasting relief.
If you’ve been doing everything “right” but still feel like nothing is changing, this episode is for you.
