    Episode 96: Why Women 40+ Gain Weight, Lose Energy & Are Told Their Labs Are “Fine” with Dr. Jennifer Haessler

    If you’re a woman over 40 who feels like your body suddenly stopped responding to the things that used to work, you’re not imagining it. Many women in perimenopause and menopause are eating clean, exercising consistently, and doing “all the right things”… yet they still feel exhausted, inflamed, and stuck with stubborn weight gain. Even more frustrating? Being told by their doctor that their labs are “normal” when they clearly don’t feel fine. In this episode of The Balanced Body Podcast, I’m joined by Dr. Jennifer Haessler, Naturopathic Doctor, fitness coach, and nutrition expert who helps women feel strong, energized, and supported as they move through perimenopause, menopause, and beyond. Together we dive into what actually works for women in midlife when it comes to nutrition, metabolism, hormones, and lab testing. Inside this conversation we discuss: • The nutrition strategies that actually support women 40+ (and what often backfires) • Why so many women are told their labs are “normal” while they still feel terrible • The foundational lab work every midlife woman deserves • How hormones, chronic stress, sleep, and muscle mass shift metabolism after 40 • Why strength training becomes essential for metabolic health and hormone balance • Practical steps women can take to start feeling better today If you’ve ever felt dismissed, confused about your symptoms, or like your body has suddenly changed the rules on you, this episode will help you better understand what’s happening and what actually supports women in this stage of life.

    Episode 95: The Grief of Chronic Health Issues, Mold Toxicity & Why “Mediocre Health” Isn’t Normal with Breanna Grace

    Are you tired, bloated, foggy, or constantly running on empty — but your labs keep coming back “normal”? In this episode of The Balanced Body Podcast, I sit down with Breanna Grace, Holistic Health Practitioner specializing in gut health, chronic fatigue, mold toxicity, and histamine intolerance. We dive into the emotional side of long-term health struggles — including the grief no one talks about when your body doesn’t feel like your own. Breanna shares her personal journey navigating mold toxicity and histamine intolerance, the frustrations of the conventional medical system, and how so many women settle for “mediocre health” because they’ve been told their symptoms are normal. We also explore a powerful truth: the body is incredibly capable of healing when properly supported at the root. If you’ve ever felt dismissed, discouraged, or afraid that your fatigue, bloating, brain fog, or hormone symptoms are “just part of getting older,” this conversation will feel deeply validating — and hopeful.

    Episode 94: Deprescribing 101 — How to Safely Taper Antidepressants, Birth Control & PPIs + The Power of Pharmacogenetics (PGx) with Stacey D'Angelo

    Are you on medications you’re not sure you still need, but too afraid to stop? In this episode of The Balanced Body Podcast, I’m joined by Stacey D’Angelo, pharmacist specializing in deprescribing and pharmacogenetics. We’re diving into what it really means to safely reduce medications like antidepressants, anti-anxiety drugs, PPIs (acid reflux medications), and hormonal birth control — and why tapering properly matters more than most people realize. We also unpack pharmacogenetics (PGx) — a DNA-based test that predicts how your body responds to medications. This personalized approach can reduce the frustrating trial-and-error many women experience, especially with mental health prescriptions. If you’ve ever wondered: “Do I still need this medication?”“Why do I feel worse when I try to come off?”“Is there a safer, more personalized way to approach my health?”This conversation will open your eyes.

    Episode 93: HRT Myths Busted — Black Box Warning Removed, Perimenopause & Hormone Therapy for Disease Prevention

    For years, hormone replacement therapy has been clouded by fear, outdated research, and confusing messaging. But the landscape has shifted. In this episode of The Balanced Body Podcast, I’m joined by Elise Schroeder, a naturopathic doctor with over 20 years of experience helping women balance their hormones and feel vital at every stage of life. We’re breaking down: • What the Black Box warning on HRT actually meant — and why its removal matters  • The biggest myths still circulating about hormone therapy  • Why HRT shouldn’t be viewed as a “last resort”  • How hormone therapy may play a role in preventing osteoporosis, cognitive decline, and cardiovascular disease  • Why perimenopause may be the most important window for intervention If you’re in your late 30s or 40s and noticing changes in your energy, mood, sleep, metabolism, or cycle, this episode will help you understand what’s happening and what your options truly are. Hormones influence far more than hot flashes. They impact your brain, bones, heart, metabolism, and long-term vitality. The right information changes everything.  👉 Watch my masterclass:  Everything You Need to Know About Testing Your Hormones https://www.monikaeva.com/masterclass-hormonetesting Learn more from Dr. Elise here:  Dreliseschroeder.com Access her video on Should I Be Talking To My Doctor About HRT?

    Episode 92: Low Libido Explained — Why Your Sex Drive Is Gone and What Actually Brings It Back (Solo Episode)

    Low libido is one of the most common — and least talked about — symptoms women experience, especially in their 30s and 40s. And despite what we’re often told, it’s not random, it’s not a personal failure, it's not a "natural part of aging" and it’s definitely not something you just have to accept. In this episode, we’re diving into why libido drops in the first place and what’s actually happening underneath. We’ll unpack the role of dysregulated cortisol, suppressed sex hormones, mineral depletion, and hidden stressors in the body and why libido is one of the first things to shut down when the body doesn’t feel safe. This episode will help you understand why guessing doesn’t work, why testing changes everything, and what foundational steps you can start taking now to support your hormones, nervous system, and overall vitality. If you’ve been wondering whether that spark is gone for good, this conversation will show you why it’s likely just been blocked, and how to get it back. Thanks for listening.

    Episode 91: Anxiety Isn’t in Your Head: The Mineral & Root-Cause Fix Most Women Are Missing with Mandy Robertson

    Anxiety doesn’t always start in your mind. It often starts in your body. In this episode, I’m joined by Mandy Robertson, a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner and Board Certified Holistic Health Practitioner who helps busy women heal anxiety, burnout, and exhaustion by uncovering the root causes so they can get their life back. We begin with Mandy’s personal health journey, including how mold illness completely reshaped her understanding of anxiety and nervous system health. From there, we unpack the hidden physiological drivers of anxiety, why proper mineral balance is one of the most overlooked foundations for mental health, and why functional lab testing is often the missing piece for women who’ve done “all the right things” and still feel awful. If you’ve been told your labs are normal, your anxiety is just stress, or you simply need to manage it better, this conversation may change how you understand your symptoms entirely. 🔗 Connect with Mandy Instagram: www.instagram.com/mandyrobertsonhealthThanks for listening.

    Episode 90: Gut Health Symptoms Explained: Why Bloating, Eczema & Skin Flare-Ups Always Start in the Gut with Alissabeth Taylor

    If you think your skin flare-ups are a skin problem… you’re going to want to listen to this episode. Because issues like eczema, rashes, and chronic irritation almost always start in the gut, not your skincare routine. In Episode 90 of The Balanced Body Podcast, I’m joined by Alissabeth Taylor, Registered Nurse and Functional Health Coach who helps women 30+ banish bloat and support healthy skin naturally. In this conversation, we dive straight into the gut–skin connection and unpack why skin flare-ups are often one of the body’s earliest warning signs of gut dysfunction. We also explore the overlooked role mineral imbalances play in digestion, motility, and skin health and why treating symptoms from the outside rarely leads to lasting relief. You’ll learn: Why skin flare-ups like eczema are rarely a surface-level issueHow gut dysfunction shows up through the skin long before it feels “digestive”The gut–skin loop and why creams and prescriptions often miss the root causeHow mineral depletion quietly disrupts digestion, bowel movements, and skin integrityEveryday habits that contribute to bloating, irritation, and chronic flare-upsPractical ways to start supporting your gut and skin from the inside outIf you’ve been cycling through skincare products, elimination diets, or protocols without real change, this episode will help you understand what your body is actually asking for. 🔗 Connect with Alissabeth Website: www.alissabethtaylorwellness.com Instagram: @alissabethtaylorwellness Thanks for listening.
