Sunday Sessions Vol. 2 | Hormonal Chaos at 35: Finding the Root Cause with Functional Testing
Sun Dec 07 2025
In this episode of Sunday Sessions with Moni, I’m walking you through what my functional lab tests revealed—from blood work to GI-MAP stool testing—and how I’m rebuilding my energy, mood, and hormone health after a season of overtraining and burnout.
I’ll share:
My annual lab work habits (and how I use functional ranges, not just "normal" ones)What my GI-MAP test showed (parasites, immune dysfunction, digestion issues)My real-life protocol: nutrition, supplements, lifestyle & mindset shiftsHow I'm tracking my cycle, energy, and recovery progressThis isn't a tutorial—I'm just bringing you along for the ride as I figure it out myself. Whether you’re dealing with unexplained fatigue, short cycles, or gut symptoms, I hope this helps you feel less alone—and gives you a few questions to bring to your own care team.
