Episode Description

🎙️ EPISODE DESCRIPTION:

In this episode, I’m speaking with Sonia Savage, Functional Nutritionist and owner of Balanced Life Nutrition, about why perimenopause symptoms may not always be purely hormonal.

Sonia shares how root cause healing looks at the bigger picture, including gut health, nutrient status, methylation, genetics, stress, environmental factors and a woman’s full health timeline.

We also discuss why many women are told their blood tests are “normal” despite still feeling exhausted, foggy, inflamed, anxious, or unlike themselves.

IN THIS EPISODE, YOU’LL LEARN:

Why symptoms may not be “just hormones”

What root cause healing means

Why “normal” blood tests may not be optimal

How methylation, gut health and nutrients impact wellbeing

What functional testing may reveal

Why fasting and keto may not suit every woman

How whole foods support long-term health

How to advocate for yourself and trust your instincts
