For years, women have been told that declining desire in midlife is simply a hormone problem—or worse, just an inevitable part of aging. But what if that's only part of the story?In this episode of The Balanced Body Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Julie Merriman—counselor, professor, researcher, author, podcaster, and speaker—to explore why so many women feel disconnected from intimacy, pleasure, and themselves during midlife, and how healing the nervous system can help reignite desire, confidence, and connection from the inside out.If you've ever thought:• "I just don't feel like myself anymore."• "I love my partner, but I have no interest in intimacy."• "Maybe this is just what happens as I get older."• "My hormones must be the problem."Then this conversation is for you.We discuss why low desire isn't always a hormone issue, the hidden impact chronic stress has on libido and intimacy, the biggest myths women believe about desire after 50, and how years of caregiving, people-pleasing, high achievement, and emotional exhaustion can disconnect women from their bodies and their capacity for pleasure.You'll also learn practical ways to reconnect with yourself, understand the role your nervous system plays in intimacy, and hear about Dr. Julie's Desire Reboot Framework™, which has helped hundreds of women move from feeling emotionally shut down and exhausted to feeling alive, present, and connected again.In This Episode:✔ Why hormones aren't the whole story when it comes to low libido✔ The connection between nervous system health, stress, and desire✔ Common myths about sex and intimacy after 50✔ How chronic stress can leave women feeling emotionally numb and disconnected✔ Why so many high-achieving women struggle with pleasure and connection✔ Practical ways to begin rebuilding intimacy with yourself and your partner✔ The Desire Reboot Framework™ and what it looks like in real lifeConnect with Dr. Julie MerrimanWebsite: Julie Merriman PhDInstagram: @dr.juliemerrimanFree Resource – Reignite Your Fire & DesireConnect with MonikaIf you're struggling with stubborn weight, low energy, mood changes, or symptoms that you've been told are "normal," DM SYMPTOMS on Instagram @monikaeeva to learn how functional testing can uncover the hidden hormone, gut, inflammation, and mineral imbalances keeping you stuck.Thanks for listening.

PCOS may officially be getting a new name — PMOS (Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome) — and honestly? It's about time.In this episode of The Balanced Body Podcast, Hormone Nutritionist Monika Eva breaks down what this major shift means for women struggling with stubborn weight gain, fatigue, insulin resistance, irregular cycles, fertility challenges, inflammation, cravings, burnout, and hormone imbalance.For years, women have been told PCOS was “just an ovarian issue.” Meanwhile, functional practitioners have long understood that this goes far deeper than the ovaries alone.This episode dives into:Why the PMOS name change mattersThe emotional reality of being dismissed or gaslit by “normal labs”Why weight loss resistance is often a metabolic and inflammatory issueThe connection between cortisol, insulin resistance, gut health, inflammation, detoxification, and hormone balanceWhy so many women feel exhausted, swollen, puffy, anxious, and stuck despite doing “everything right”Why symptoms matter — even if you don't officially meet PCOS criteriaThe truth about GLP-1 medications and why weight loss alone does not equal healingFunctional testing options like the DUTCH Test, GI-MAP, HTMA, fasting insulin, HbA1c, CRP, and moreIf you've ever felt frustrated by your body, dismissed by doctors, or confused about why your metabolism, hormones, energy, and weight feel so hard to manage… this episode is for you.Because this was never just about ovaries.It's about your whole body.If this episode resonated with you, send Monika a DM on Instagram with the word “PMOS” and let her know your biggest takeaway. If you're ready to investigate the root causes behind your symptoms and finally understand what your body has been trying to tell you, Monika would be honoured to support you inside The Balanced Body Method.

If you've ever felt like you're doing everything right—eating clean, working out, taking supplements—but still feel exhausted, inflamed, or just off… this episode is going to hit.In today's conversation, I'm joined by Michele Scarlet, a Board-Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner and founder of COREFIT, who shares her personal story of hitting a wall at the height of her career—and how it led her to uncover the deeper issue so many women are missing: cumulative toxic load.While her journey included breast implant illness, this episode goes far beyond that. We dive into how everyday exposures, chronic stress, and a lack of foundational health habits can quietly build up in the body—leaving women feeling burnt out, disconnected, and stuck in symptoms they can't explain.We also unpack why so many women are told their labs are “normal” while they continue to feel anything but—and why getting back to the basics is often the missing piece in healing.Inside this episode, we cover: What it really looks like when your body starts breaking down (even if your life looks “successful” on paper)  The concept of cumulative toxic load and how it impacts energy, inflammation, and overall health  Why breast implant illness is just one example of a much bigger issue  The biggest mistakes women make when trying to “fix” their health  Why foundations like digestion, nervous system regulation, and daily habits matter more than most women realize  How to start reconnecting with your body and actually feel like yourself again If you've been feeling exhausted, puffy, reactive, or like your body just isn't responding the way it used to—this episode will give you a completely different lens on what might really be going on.Connect with Michele:Instagram: @michelescarlet_Website: Learn more about Michele Podcast: Michele Scarlet's True Health PodcastThanks for listening.

Perimenopause and menopause can bring a wave of unexpected symptoms—poor sleep, anxiety, irritability, hot flashes, stubborn weight gain, and feeling like your body suddenly isn't working the way it used to.But what if this transition wasn't something to “fight” against… and instead something your body could be supported through?In this episode of The Balanced Body Podcast, I'm joined by Anika Mendell, a Licensed Acupuncturist and Certified Health Coach who specializes in helping women navigate the hormonal shifts of perimenopause and menopause through the lens of Chinese Medicine.We dive into how Traditional Chinese Medicine views menopause differently than Western medicine, why symptoms like hot flashes, insomnia, anxiety, and fatigue occur during this stage of life, and how acupuncture can help restore balance to the body.You'll also learn the lifestyle shifts Chinese Medicine encourages for women during midlife—from managing stress and supporting energy to working with your body instead of against it.If you're entering your late 30s, 40s, or 50s and wondering why your body suddenly feels different, this episode will give you a completely new perspective on what's happening—and how to support yourself through it.In this episode, we cover:• How Chinese Medicine views perimenopause and menopause• The most common symptoms women experience during this transition• How acupuncture can help with hot flashes, anxiety, sleep, and hormonal balance• Lifestyle habits that support women in midlife• Why menopause can be a powerful transition rather than a declineConnect with Anika Mendellwww.meridianhealthcoaching.com www.anikamendell.comInstagram: @anikamendell.acupunctureThanks for listening.

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.

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.

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.

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.

What if the way you're living is what's keeping your body stuck?In this episode, I'm joined by Akary Busto, Emotional Biohacker and Trauma-Informed Human Design Specialist, for a powerful conversation on nervous system regulation, emotional patterns, and healing from the inside out.We explore how chronic stress and nervous system dysregulation show up in the body as fatigue, irritability, weight that won't budge, and feeling disconnected from yourself even when labs look “normal” and you're doing all the right things.Akary breaks down Human Design life cycles and how different seasons of life can impact emotional resilience, energy, and how the body responds to stress. She also shares a simple, heart-centered nervous system regulation technique you can use in real time to calm your body and create safety from within.If you've been pushing, powering through, and wondering why your body isn't responding the way it used to, this episode offers a compassionate reframe and practical tools to help you reconnect and regulate.

The noise around weight loss in January can be deafening. But what if you're asking “can I lose weight without going on a diet?” Because the truth is that you're done. You've realised that on the surface, quick weight loss looks and feels like the ultimate life upgrade…but your body is screaming “I CANNOT do another diet”.So in this episode I'm talking directly to that crossroads - the space where you're done with the restriction and misery, you're ready to find food freedom, AND you also want to feel good in your own skin. I'll walk you through why diets may have “worked” on paper but have cost you your peace and self trust - and what to do instead.We'll look at how to create diet free weight loss, how to build healthy eating habits more effortlessly and how to stop the binge restrict cycle that you've been trapped in. So you can feel more confident in your body AND have the food freedom that you desire.Key Takeaways:Why you can be “good at dieting” and still feel trapped, unhappy, and obsessed with food.The real cost of chronic dieting on your body image, self-esteem and nervous system.Three core foundations for wanting weight loss without going back to restrictive diets.How to start rebuilding trust with your body and relating to it as a teammate, not an enemy.The connection between nervous system and weight loss - and how to use that to create sustainable habit change.

 If food and your body image take up way more mental space than you want to admit — the rules, the guilt, the constant second-guessing — this episode is for you. In this episode of The Balanced Body Podcast, I'm joined by Registered Holistic Nutritionist Cindy Spratt, who helps women heal their relationship with food so they can let go of disordered eating patterns, food guilt, and body shame — and finally reclaim their health, confidence, and freedom.We unpack the blurry line between “healthy habits” and disordered eating, why high-achieving women are especially vulnerable to food obsession, and how body dysmorphia quietly shows up in everyday thoughts and behaviors. Cindy also shares what real healing actually looks like, how to start loosening the grip of food rules, and how to pursue health without hating your body in the process.If you've ever felt trapped by food rules, guilty for eating “off plan,” or frustrated by your reflection despite doing all the right things — this conversation will feel deeply validating and incredibly freeing.Connect with Cindy:

If you've ever felt puffy, swollen, inflamed, heavy, or like your body is holding on no matter what you do, this episode will connect some very important dots.In today's conversation, Monika sits down with Marisa Mohammed, Registered Massage Therapist and founder of La Mar Wellness, to explore the powerful — and often overlooked — role of the lymphatic system in women's health.We break down the difference between traditional manual lymphatic drainage and Brazilian-inspired lymphatic drainage, why Brazilian techniques often create visible results faster, and how lymph flow is deeply connected to energy, digestion, detoxification, nervous system regulation, and emotional release.Marisa also shares her Body–Lymph–Soul philosophy — explaining why true healing doesn't happen by forcing the body harder, but by restoring flow, safety, and regulation.In this episode, we cover:• What the lymphatic system actually does (and why it matters) • Brazilian vs traditional lymphatic drainage — what's the difference? • Why women feel puffy, swollen, or “stuck” • How stress and burnout slow lymph flow • The connection between lymph and the nervous system • Tools and habits to support lymph at home • Who benefits most from lymphatic drainage — and who should proceed with caution✨ If you're local to Burlington, Ontario, I highly recommend booking a session with Marisa and experiencing the sanctuary she's building at La Mar Wellness — it truly is one of a kind.

In this deeply personal solo episode, I'm sharing exactly what I did to prepare my body for pregnancy as a woman 35+ navigating hormonal shifts, subtle cycle changes, and labs that were technically “normal” but not optimal.After announcing my pregnancy on Instagram, I wanted to pull back the curtain on the work that led me here because it's the same work I help women with every single day.In this episode, we talk about:Why fertility prep at 35+ looks different than it does in your 20sThe difference between “normal” hormone labs and optimal hormone functionHow estradiol, ovulation, progesterone, and metabolism are deeply connectedWhy supporting metabolism isn't just about weight loss; it's about energy, hormone production, and reproductive healthThe role of anti-inflammatory nutrition, healthy fats, digestion, gut health, and mineral balance in fertilityWhy I ran functional testing like the GI-MAP, DUTCH, and HTMA and what I learned from themHow low potassium and mineral depletion commonly show up in women 35+Why nervous system regulation may be the most overlooked (and most important) piece of fertility supportThis episode is for you if:You're 35+ and thinking about pregnancy now or in the futureYour hormones don't feel the same, even though your labs look “fine”You want to understand fertility through the lens of metabolism and whole-body healthYou're tired of being told to “just relax” or “wait and see”✨ Free Resource: Download my Ovulation Tracking Guide to better understand your cycle, identify fertile windows, and spot hormonal red flags early:

Healing trauma and childhood wounds doesn't have to be a complicated process filled with pain and negativity. There are ways you can heal your wounds while also feeling strong, empowered, and filled with love and connection. In this episode of The Wellness Revolution, you'll learn these methods from Stefanos Sifandos, a trained educator and relationship expert with an extensive background in behavioral science. Stefanos helps men and women heal unresolved trauma and childhood wounds, escape negative patterns, and cultivate a positive sense of self. He helps people restructure and re-frame their relationships with themselves and their loved ones, leading them closer to each other and to their highest potential. Today, Stefanos and I are talking about how to use breathwork to heal your trauma and connect with your sense of self. We touch on concepts like self-worth, love and trust, parent/child relationships, self-acceptance, the science behind breathwork, connecting to your inner child, and more. This is an incredibly moving discussion that highlights the immense value of doing the inner work, no matter how difficult and daunting it seems. Let this be your reminder that you can do (and heal) anything you put your mind to, mama. ❤ “Do not compare your trauma because trauma is less about the experience itself (of course that matters) and it's more about the way our constitution, our nervous system, our psychology, our predisposition, our personality, everything that is us interprets that experience and the intensity of that experience.” – Stefanos Sifandos Key Highlights: Stefanos' childhood wounds & How they impacted his adulthood Why women struggle to say no How to start recognizing and healing patterns of behavior related to trauma Common signs of childhood trauma and unhealed wounds The do's and don'ts of healing trauma (based on behavioral science) What is “breathwork for the feminine”?

Do you want to know the secret to staying young and pain-free into your 40s, 50s, 60s, and beyond? The secret is in how you activate and engage your muscles. Intrigued yet? Join me in this episode of The Wellness Revolution as I welcome Yogi Aaron, a Master Yoga Teacher and Muscle Specialist who's sharing a revolutionary approach to eliminating pain in the body and reducing your risk of injury. This unique approach ditches prescribed stretches while igniting alignment, stability, power, and purpose through muscle activation. This conversation is absolutely fascinating, eye-opening, and might upset a few yogis out there, but it's essential knowledge you need. Aaron reveals the harmful effects of stretching and why you need to focus on activating and engaging your muscles rather than stretching them. My biggest takeaway from this episode: Stretching is not getting to the root cause of my pain and it won't help reduce it either! Pain reduction requires a totally different approach. “What we need to be doing is addressing the muscle tightness and that muscle tightness is a protective mechanism. If you've got tightness in your lower back, then that is a signal to you that something is not working properly in your body.” – Yogi Aaron Aaron's online platform, The Yogi Club, is making living a pain-free life accessible to all with a vast on-demand library of classes and courses. So, join us to learn something new and let your journey to a pain-free life start NOW. Key Highlights: From Evangelical to Spiritual: How Yogi Aaron tapped into his purpose through yoga. Aaron's experience healing his chronic pain. How do muscles work? How is stretching harmful to the body? The major benefits of yoga (when done correctly). The #1 yoga pose you should AVOID. The BEST yoga pose you can do to strengthen your back and reduce pain. Why you should stop stretching and start Applied Yoga Anatomy + Muscle ActivationTM (AYAMA). Tips for adapting your yoga practice to optimize muscle function and reduce pain. How does Muscle Activation differ from modern and traditional yoga?
