***TOP 2% GLOBAL PODCAST*** The Go-to Podcast for Midlife Women Who Want To Balance Hormones Naturally Ugh. I feel so bloated. Iâm retaining more water than the Hoover Dam. What? Not another pimple? Itâs like puberty all over again! Sleep? Whatâs that like? (I forget.:ďź) Umm, I just turned 40âŚ.. Arenât I too young for this?!? â Hello Friend. (Can I call you âfriendâ? âCuz weâre already friends in my head:) Welcome to Are You There, Midlife? Itâs Me, Monica. Iâm Monica Lane Topete, Certified Nutrition Coach Coach, Peri+ Menopause Educator, Personal Trainer, NASM Behavior Change Specialist, and Hormone Imbalance Survivor. And Iâm on a mission to help women in mid life balance their hormones naturally without drugs, doctors (or divorce!) It wasnât too long ago when perimenopause came crashing through my door with a ton of luggage (âcuz 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 bodyâŚand 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 âwithin normal range,â 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 weightâand keep it offâfor 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 âteaâ on what to expect when youâre expecting perimenopauseâŚand beyond. From anxiety to insomnia, body fat to funky body odor (yeah, thatâs a thing!), Iâll unpack all the âweird stuffâ 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 thatâŚ.(What was I saying again?).... ...Are you beyond frustrated doing âall the thingsâ to lose weightâbut are still packing on the pounds faster than a sumo wrestler in training Then, girl, youâre in the right place.:) There IS a way you can balance your hormones naturally that doesnât 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, youâll 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 anxietyâWITHOUT 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 youâre totally insane!) Itâs TIME to take back control of your hormones and show âem whoâs boss...so you can feel confident and love yourself again! ...Without ever stepping foot inside a doctorâs office or resorting to crazy hormone pellets. No need to make an appointment or even change outta your PJs. Just come as you areâwherever you areâas I discuss ALL things hormones in midlifeâwith a bit of saucy humor.

Hey friend,
đľâđŤ Are you waking up exhausted, no matter how much you sleep? Clothes suddenly feeling tighter, âŚeven though youâre eating the same and working out? Snapping at your partner lately for breathing too loud? đ If perimenopause or menopause has you feeling like a moody, tired, sleep-deprived âblobâ youâre not alone.
Nearly 85% of women in midlife experience hormone-related symptoms, but the majority of us report feeling unsupported and unsure of where to turn for real solutions.Â
The problem isnât your willpower, your workouts, or even your age. The problem is that most of us are searching for hormone balance âsolutionsâ when what we actually need is a SYSTEM.
đ¨ In this episode, Iâm breaking down my EXACT 3-step method to balance hormones naturallyâso you can stop chasing symptoms and finally start feeling like yourself again.
In this episode, you will learn:
âď¸ Why most diets, supplements, and hormone âhacksâ failâand what your body actually needs to get real results
âď¸ The truth about detoxingâand why your liver, gut, and lymphatic system hold the key to hormone health
âď¸ Why eating âhealthyâ isnât enoughâand how your diet could be blocking hormone productionÂ
âď¸ The missing nutrients that are essential for hormone production, but most women donât get enough of
âď¸ Why your hormones keep yo-yoingâand the one thing thatâs keeping you stuck in the same cycle.
âď¸ The daily habit that matters just as much as your diet when it comes to hormone balance
If you feel like your body is working against you, no matter how hard you try, this episode is for you.
