  • Résumé

  • ***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.

    Up to 80% of midlife women experience symptoms like fatigue, hot flashes, and weight gain, yet only 25% are ever diagnosed with a hormonal imbalance.

    In this episode, you will learn:

    • Why excess or deficient hormone levels may not be the cause of symptoms like hot flashes, brain fog, and mood swings

    • The role of hormone receptors in regulating hormones during menopause

    • The five biggest drivers of hormone receptor dysfunction and how they contribute to hormonal imbalances

    • The biggest contributing factor to weight gain in post-menopausal women

    If you’re tired of being dismissed by doctors or struggling with unexplained symptoms, this episode is for you.

    Think You Might Have A Hormone Imbalance? Take My FREE Hormone Quiz: https://bit.ly/takemyhormonequiz

    Hey friend,

    Have you ever felt like you’re invisible when it comes to your health?..

    According to a 2020 survey by AARP, 45% of women aged 45 to 60 reported not being taken seriously by their primary care doctor when discussing their perimenopausal or menopausal symptoms. That’s almost half of us!

    In today’s episode, I’m going to break down the three biggest lies about hormone imbalance during perimenopause and menopause.

    In this episode you will learn:

    • Why symptoms like hot flashes and mood swings don't just “go away” on their own.

    • The go-to birth control method that can mask symptoms without fixing the root cause of hormonal imbalance.

    • Why HRT may not be the magic bullet it’s often made out to be, and what alternatives can be just as effective?

    If you're tired of being blown off by doctors or fed one-size-fits-all medical solutions, this episode is for you.

    It’s time to get out of the hormonal waiting room and uncover the truth about what’s really going on with your hormones and how you can begin to feel better in 2025—starting today.

    Jan 7 2025

    Think You Might Have A Hormone Imbalance? Take My FREE Hormone Quiz: https://bit.ly/takemyhormonequiz

    Hey friend,

    Have you ever wished you could peek into a crystal ball and predict your future?

    While the rest of the world is Googling “What will 2025 bring?” (a query with over 1 million searches!!!!), the real predictor of your future health isn’t online or in the stars—it’s in the habits you’re living right now.

    In this episode, we’re connecting your perimenopause and menopause symptoms with the habits, behaviors, and lifestyle choices that are proven to shape your year ahead.

    In this episode, we’ll discuss:

    • Why ordering Soy Lattes from Starbucks might be contributing to estrogen overload

    • How a low-calorie or restricted diet can lead to a lack of essential nutrients that are crucial for balancing cortisol

    • The one exercise you may be avoiding that actually helps maintain healthy estrogen levels.

    • Which macronutrient can trigger the overproduction of androgens that cause PCOS

    • The amount of sleep you really need to optimize thyroid function

    • And much, much more!

    If you've been struggling with your mood, energy, or mindset, you don’t have to be at the mercy of your hormones!!! Because when you understand how your habits affect your hormones, you can change your health and how you show up in 2025.
