103. The Endocrine Web: How Everything Connects in Midlife with Dr. Deanna Minich
About this episode
Mona Sharma discusses the interconnectedness of women's hormones during midlife with Dr. Deanna Minich, emphasizing a systems-based understanding and the importance of various health factors.
Perimenopause can feel like your body is speaking a new language. Sleep shifts. Energy fluctuates. Mood feels unfamiliar. And when you are told everything looks “normal,” it can leave you feeling disconnected from your own experience. In today’s episode, I sit down with Dr. Deanna Minich to explore a more rooted, systems-based understanding of women’s hormones. We talk about the HPTAO axis and why stress, gut health, detox pathways, circadian rhythm, and nutrient diversity all influence how hormones move, signal, and clear. This conversation gently reframes midlife as a recalibration rather than a breakdown. We also explore estrogen metabolism, and the power of plant color and rhythm in supporting resilience. Dr. Deanna Minich, PhD is the Chief Science Officer at Symphony Natural Health, an international educator and speaker, and the author of The Rainbow Diet.
