In today’s episode, we’re diving into another Hormone Audit—and this time, we're unpacking the case of Erika, a 40-year-old mom navigating irregular cycles, stubborn weight gain, high stress, poor sleep, and symptoms tied to PCOS and perimenopause.

You’ll hear Vanda walk through Erika’s full hormone audit, including her top concerns, daily habits, sleep struggles, nutrition patterns, supplement list, and stress load. Then, Vanda breaks down what’s likely driving her symptoms and shares practical, personalized recommendations to help regulate cycles, improve sleep, reduce stress, and support hormone balance during this stage of life.

In this episode, we cover:

Why irregular cycles + midsection weight gain often point to deeper hormone shifts
The connection between nighttime waking, blood sugar, cortisol, and mineral balance
How caffeine habits may be worsening fatigue and cycle symptoms
What to look for in magnesium, calcium, and multivitamin supplements
How to simplify exercise when you're a busy mom with no free time
The early signs of perimenopause—at age 40 and beyond
When to consider functional testing like DUTCH or HTMA

Whether you’re in your late 30s, early 40s, or dealing with similar symptoms, you’ll walk away with tons of practical insights you can apply immediately.

As always, remember: supplements and recommendations should be reviewed with your own provider before making changes.

Tune in and take notes—this one is full of actionable takeaways!
