The Balanced Body Podcast – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Are you navigating perimenopause or post-menopause and feeling overwhelmed by all the conflicting advice on HRT? You’re not alone.

In this episode, I sit down with Katie Redding, Certified Midlife Specialist, FDN-P, and founder of Hormone Health Boss, to break down everything you need to know about hormone replacement therapy (HRT) — from preparing your body and choosing the right treatment to monitoring results and advocating for yourself in the doctor’s office.

Katie shares her decade of experience helping women optimize their hormones, metabolism, and energy so they can feel their best and thrive in midlife and beyond.

We’ll cover:

• ✅ How to know if your doctor really understands HRT
• ✅ What to do before starting HRT to get the best results
• ✅ Signs your HRT is (or isn’t) working — and what to track
• ✅ How to advocate for yourself when doctors dismiss your concerns
• ✅ Why thriving in midlife is about so much more than just symptom management

Motherhood isn’t about “bouncing back” — it’s about leaping forward.

In this episode of The Balanced Body Podcast, I sit down with Marlene Andersson — women’s mindset coach, toddler mom, and former elite CrossFit athlete — to unpack the real challenges and mindset shifts of motherhood.

We dive into:
 ✅ Why “bouncing back” is a trap and how to create a new, empowered identity as a mom
 ✅ Lessons from elite-level competition that translate into thriving in motherhood
 ✅ The “forgotten steps” of goal setting that prevent self-sabotage and set moms up for success
 ✅ Simple, practical first steps moms can take today to put themselves back on their own priority list

Whether you’re a new mom navigating the identity shift or a seasoned mom wanting to reclaim your energy and routine, this conversation will leave you feeling seen, supported, and ready to thrive.

DM me “TBBM” on Instagram if you’re tired of guessing and want a personalized plan that actually works.

If you’re bloated by 2 p.m., constantly constipated, or reacting to “healthy” foods, this episode is your gut health wake-up call. I’m joined by Julie from Gut Talk—a Board-Certified Holistic Nutritionist who specializes in digestive issues—and we’re diving deep into SIBO, constipation, food sensitivities, and leaky gut.

• The connection between slow motility, bloating, and hormone imbalance
• How to properly test for SIBO (and why generic gut tests might miss it)
• Root causes of constipation (spoiler: it’s not just fiber)
• How food sensitivities really happen (hint: leaky gut + inflammation)
• The protocols that work—and what to avoid if you want real, lasting relief

If your digestion feels off, your hormones are a mess, and you’re tired of guessing what to eat—this episode gives you real answers.

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.

Have you been told to cut out egg yolks, shrimp, or red meat because your cholesterol is high? In this episode, I’m exposing The Cholesterol Lie—and explaining why elevated cholesterol in women over 35 often has nothing to do with dietary fat.

You’ll learn the real root causes of rising cholesterol after 35—like declining estrogen, sluggish thyroid, and poor liver detoxification. I’ll walk you through:

• What your doctor isn’t testing for
• How hormone shifts affect cholesterol
• Why supporting your liver and thyroid is crucial
• Which lab markers actually matter (including Lipoprotein A & B)
• And how to avoid unnecessary statins or restrictive diets

I’m also sharing one of my client’s transformation stories and my own personal experience navigating elevated cholesterol—plus how I brought my levels back to balance through hormone and liver support.

If you're in your late 30s, 40s, or 50s and your labs are suddenly raising red flags, this episode will help you see the full picture and finally understand what your body is trying to say.

Still gaining weight even though you’re eating clean and exercising more?
Here’s what most experts won’t tell you: your adrenal health could be the missing link.

In this episode, we’re unpacking the real reason the old-school “eat less, move more” advice stops working for women in their late 30s, 40s, and beyond. You’ll learn how your adrenal glands—after decades of stress, motherhood, business building, life—are directly impacting your metabolism, weight, energy, and ability to bounce back.

We’ll cover:

• What your adrenals actually do (hint: they’re not just about stress)
• Why decades of burnout, overtraining, and dieting have pushed your body into fat-storing mode
• How a calorie deficit can backfire when your body feels unsafe
• What functional testing reveals about your hormones and metabolism that bloodwork won’t
• Simple adrenal-supportive tools to help your body feel safe enough to finally release the weight

If you’ve been doing all the “right things” but still feel stuck, this episode will give you clarity—and a new path forward that actually works with your body.

• How mold impacts hormones, thyroid, and perimenopause symptoms
• What mold testing looks like—and if it’s always necessary

You want the change.
You know you’re capable.
And yet... you keep finding yourself saying "not now"—even when everything inside you is begging for a breakthrough.

In today’s solo episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the real reason you keep hesitating—and spoiler alert: it’s not about money, willpower, or time. It’s about fear, self-protection, and a nervous system that's just trying to keep you safe (even when it's keeping you stuck).

I’m sharing a personal story about how I almost sabotaged my own health journey by convincing myself "it was too expensive"—when the truth was, I was scared to change.

You'll hear exactly what was really happening beneath the surface—and how facing it changed everything.

Inside this episode:

• Why your brain chooses "comfort" over transformation (even when comfort sucks)
• How burnout and depletion trick you into staying stuck
• The sneaky ways doomscrolling and distractions are draining your potential
• What real momentum actually looks like—and how to start building it today, without overwhelm

This isn’t about grinding harder.
It’s about waking up to the ways you’ve been protecting yourself from the life you actually want—and learning how to move forward, safely, and sustainably.

✨ Tired of staying stuck?
The All Access Pass is your step-by-step system to rebuild your energy, metabolism, and momentum — without the burnout or overwhelm.
