Your Health Is Your Greatest Wealth: Breaking Free from Hormonal Struggles with Monika Eva
Manage episode 474819313 series 3539680
When Monika Eva found herself gaining weight and battling fatigue in her twenties despite eating clean and exercising regularly, her doctor dismissed her concerns and offered only birth control or antidepressants as solutions. That pivotal moment launched her into discovering the complex world of hormone health—and eventually becoming a hormone nutritionist who's helped thousands of women reclaim their vitality.
On this eye-opening episode, Monika reveals why so many women struggle with hormone-related symptoms that conventional medicine often misses. She explains how the current buzz around perimenopause has created both awareness and confusion, with many receiving inadequate or generic advice that fails to address their unique biochemistry.
The conversation dives deep into the transformative power of functional testing beyond standard bloodwork. Monika walks us through how she evaluates the complete hormone picture through dried urine testing, gut health analysis, and mineral status assessment—revealing why two women with identical symptoms often need completely different protocols. You'll discover why minerals are truly the "spark plugs" for your hormones and how chronic stress rapidly depletes these essential nutrients, creating a cascade of hormone dysfunction.
Most importantly, this episode challenges the notion that symptoms like unexplained weight gain, energy crashes, brain fog, and mood swings are inevitable parts of aging or womanhood. Trust your intuition when something feels off in your body. Whether you're in your twenties or navigating perimenopause, Monika offers hope and practical wisdom for reclaiming your health when traditional approaches have failed.
