    Episode 119: Is Coffee Keeping You Tired? The Crutches Keeping You Stuck with Monirah Bacnik

    Could the thing you rely on for energy actually be keeping you exhausted? In this episode of The Balanced Body Podcast, Monika sits down with Monirah Bacnik, Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, entrepreneur, and founder of MŪN WELL, to talk about the one thing Monirah was terrified to give up — coffee — and why letting it go ultimately gave her her life back. They unpack the difference between enjoying coffee and needing coffee just to function, why so many women have normalized feeling exhausted, and how some of the habits we use to push through the day can become crutches that keep us stuck. Monirah also shares her perspective on food sensitivity testing and metabolic typing, why following the latest diet trend isn't necessarily going to give your body what it needs, and how to move toward a more individualized approach to nutrition. In this episode, you'll hear about: When your morning coffee becomes a crutch rather than something you simply enjoyWhy constantly pushing through fatigue doesn't address what's causing itOther common "crutches" that may be keeping you stuckHow to start rebuilding your energy instead of constantly borrowing itFood sensitivities and the symptoms they can contribute toWhat metabolic typing is and how it can help personalize nutritionWhy the diet that works incredibly well for someone else may not work for youHow to stop chasing wellness trends and start paying attention to what your body needsReady to figure out what's keeping YOU stuck?

    Ep 118: Could Parasites Be Behind Your Weight Loss Resistance? with Jessica Rauscher

    Could parasites be one of the hidden factors making it harder for your body to lose weight? In Episode 118 of The Balanced Body Podcast, Monika Eva sits down with functional health practitioner, serial entrepreneur, and parasite guru Jessica Rauscher to unpack the often-overlooked connection between parasites, gut health, inflammation, cellular health, and weight loss resistance. Rather than focusing on parasite cleansing protocols, this conversation explores how parasites may affect the body, the symptoms that could warrant a closer look, and why stubborn weight may sometimes be about much more than calories, macros, or exercise. In this episode, we discuss: • What parasites are and how we can be exposed to them • Common signs and symptoms associated with parasitic infections • The potential connection between parasites and weight loss resistance • How parasites can affect digestion and nutrient absorption • The relationship between parasites, inflammation, and overall health • Whether everyone really has parasites—or if social media has taken things too far • How to differentiate possible parasite-related symptoms from other underlying imbalances • Why looking at the whole body matters when you're struggling with unexplained symptoms or stubborn weight If you feel like you're doing all the “right” things but your body still isn't responding, this episode will give you another perspective on what may be worth investigating.

    Think your hormones are the reason you feel exhausted, anxious, can't sleep, and can't lose weight? Not so fast. While hormonal changes during perimenopause absolutely play a role, many women are unknowingly overlooking the very foundations their bodies need to thrive.

Together, we discuss: Why so many women blame hormones when the real problem starts elsewhereThe foundational habits that have the biggest impact on how you feelHow blood sugar affects energy, mood, cravings, and weightWhy digestion plays a much bigger role in hormone health than most people realizeThe importance of minerals during perimenopauseWhat Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) can reveal about your healthCommon mineral imbalances Molly sees in women navigating perimenopauseSimple, practical steps you can start implementing todayIf you've been doing "all the right things" but still feel tired, overwhelmed, or stuck with stubborn weight, this conversation will remind you that sometimes the biggest breakthroughs come from strengthening the basics—not chasing the next trendy supplement or protocol. 👇 Start Here Weight Loss & Energy Blocker Assessment Not sure what's actually preventing your body from releasing weight and restoring your energy?

    Episode 113: Stop Chasing Symptoms: Why Your Hormones Might Not Be the Real Problem with Patricia Elliott

    You've been told it's your hormones. Maybe it's your thyroid. Maybe it's stress. Maybe it's just getting older. But what if your symptoms are pointing to something else entirely? In this episode of The Balanced Body Podcast, Monika Eva is joined by Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner and National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach Patricia Elliott to explore why so many women stay stuck treating symptoms instead of uncovering what's actually driving them. Fatigue, stubborn weight, brain fog, digestive issues, hormone imbalances, and thyroid concerns often look incredibly similar on the surface. The challenge? The root cause isn't always what you think. Together, Monika and Patricia discuss why conditions like Hashimoto's, mold exposure, chronic stress, grief, gut dysfunction, and hormone imbalances can all present with overlapping symptoms—and why chasing one diagnosis or one supplement rarely leads to lasting results. If you've ever felt like you're doing everything "right" but still don't feel like yourself, this episode will help you understand why connecting the dots is one of the most powerful things you can do for your health. In this episode, you'll learn: • Why it's not always "just hormones" • How different root causes can produce nearly identical symptoms • Why Hashimoto's, mold exposure, and hormone imbalances are often confused • The impact chronic stress and grief can have on your physical health • Why women often have more than one root cause contributing to their symptoms • How functional practitioners identify patterns instead of simply treating symptoms • Why personalized testing and a thorough health history matter • How shifting your focus from symptom management to root-cause healing can change everything Whether you're navigating stubborn weight, low energy, digestive issues, thyroid concerns, hormone imbalances, or simply know something feels "off," this conversation will give you a new perspective on what your body may actually be trying to tell you.

    Summer doesn't have to mean starting over in September. In this episode of The Balanced Body Podcast, I'm sharing how to enjoy BBQs, vacations, patio dinners, weddings, and summer treats without falling into the all-or-nothing mindset that leaves so many women feeling bloated, exhausted, and frustrated by the end of the season. We'll talk about why one indulgent meal isn't what derails your progress, how to make empowered food choices without feeling deprived, and why supporting your hormones, gut health, and energy doesn't mean missing out on the memories that make summer so special. You'll also learn why asking "How do I want to feel tomorrow?" is far more powerful than asking "Can I eat this?" and how small, intentional choices throughout the summer can help you head into the fall feeling energized instead of feeling like you need another reset. If you've ever found yourself saying, "I'll get back on track after summer," this episode is for you. In this episode, you'll learn: Why women tend to abandon healthy habits during the summer.How to overcome the all-or-nothing mindset.The difference between restriction and empowerment.How to enjoy vacations, patios, BBQs, and celebrations while still supporting your health.Why choosing foods that help you feel your best isn't deprivation—it's self-respect.Simple ways to make healthier swaps without sacrificing the summer experience.How to stop starting over every September.And if you're ready to finally release the stubborn weight, feel light, energized and incredible inside out, send me a DM with the word "SUMMER" and I'll help you figure out your next best step.
