Ugh. I feel so bloated. I’m retaining more water than the Hoover Dam.
What? Not another pimple? It’s like puberty all over again!
Sleep? What’s that like? (I forget.:＜)
Umm, I just turned 40….. Aren’t I too young for this?!?

Hello Friend.
(Can I call you “friend”? ‘Cuz we’re already friends in my head:)
Welcome to Are You There, Midlife? It’s Me, Monica.
I’m Monica Lane Topete, Certified Holistic Health Coach and Hormone Imbalance Survivor. And I’m on a mission to help women in midlife balance their hormones naturally without drugs, doctors (or divorce!)
It wasn’t too long ago when perimenopause came crashing through my door with a ton of luggage (‘cuz she was prepared to stay for A WHILE!)
I remember how overwhelmed, anxious, and pretty much clueless I was about what was happening to my body…and how desperate I was for a diagnosis!
But, after SEVERAL visits to my doctor who gave me a clean bill of health and lab results that came back “within normal range,” I finally decided to take my health into my own hands.
I spent OVER A YEAR combing through PubMed research studies, taking online courses in naturopathy and functional medicine, and becoming my own human guinea pig to crack the hormone code and create a research-based program that really worked to balance my hormones, put the kibosh on perimenopause symptoms, and lose stubborn weight–and keep it off–for more than 10 years!
And now, I want to share it with you....
Join me each week as I demystify the hormonal transition in midlife and spill the ”tea” on what to expect when you’re expecting perimenopause…and beyond.
From anxiety to insomnia, body fat to funky body odor (yeah, that’s a thing!), I’ll unpack all the ”weird stuff” going on inside our midlife bodies, plus give you the latest science and holistic solutions to balance it all.
Girl, it’s TIME to take back control of your hormones and show ‘em who’s boss...so you can feel confident and love yourself again!
...And all without ever stepping foot inside a doctor’s office or resorting to crazy hormone pellets.
No need to make an appointment or even change outta your PJs.
Just come as you are–wherever you are–as I discuss ALL things hormones in midlife–with a bit of saucy humor.
(‘Cuz laughing is better than crying, unless it makes you pee.:)

Hey friend,
Pop quiz: What comes first: hormonal imbalance or weight gain?
According to the latest research, 99% of all weight loss resistance in women can be traced to a hormonal cause.
Today, I’m kicking off my “6 Weeks To Summer” podcast series and unpacking the connection between hormones and weight gain in perimenopause.
In today’s episode, you’ll learn:
- How do hormones cause weight gain?
- What is the primary purpose of hormones?
- What hormones cause weight gain or weight loss resistance
Plus, we’ll discuss 7 of the most common hormonal imbalances among midlife women including:
- Thyroid issues
- Adrenal fatigue
- High cortisol levels
- Estrogen Dominance
- Low Progesterone
- High Estrogen
- Low Estrogen
- Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)
If you’re a woman in your late 30s or older who has been struggling with rapid weight gain or weight that just won’t budge no matter what you do, this episode is for you.
