Episode 56: Is It Perimenopause or Burnout? How to Tell the Difference and What to Do About It (Solo Episode)

The Balanced Body Podcast

Are you exhausted, irritable, gaining weight, and wondering if it’s perimenopause… or something else entirely?

In this episode of The Balanced Body Podcast, Monika Eva breaks down the crucial difference between true hormonal decline and full-body burnout. If you're a woman 35+ struggling with stubborn belly fat, poor sleep, zero libido, sugar cravings, or mood swings — this is your episode.

You’ll learn how symptoms of perimenopause often mimic burnout, mineral depletion, and nervous system dysregulation — and why most conventional doctors miss the real cause. Monika unpacks the limitations of bloodwork like FSH, LH, and estradiol, and explains why tests like HTMA and DUTCH Plus give you deeper insight into what your body actually needs.

If you’ve been told “everything is normal” but still feel off, this episode will help you understand why you feel so heavy, puffy, and wired-but-tired — and what you can do to feel like yourself again.
