    Do you feel like you can’t stop noticing your body? Like you’re constantly checking how you feel…Scanning for symptoms…Overanalyzing every sensation…And no matter what you do, your attention just keeps going back to your body? This episode is about that. The version of anxiety that isn’t always loud or obvious, but feels like you’re stuck inside yourself, constantly aware, constantly monitoring, and unable to fully relax. In this episode, we talk about: • What somatic hyperawareness actually is and why it happens• Why your brain gets stuck scanning your body• How normal sensations start to feel intense or “off”• The subtle ways checking keeps this cycle going• Why relaxing can actually make it feel worse• What it means when your body feels loud all the time• How to start breaking the pattern without forcing yourself to feel different If you’ve ever thought:“Why can’t I stop focusing on how I feel?”“Why does my body feel off even when nothing is wrong?”“Why can’t I just relax like I used to?” This episode will help you understand what’s happening and why you’re not crazy. This isn’t about ignoring your body.It’s about learning how to stop treating every sensation like a problem. Because your body isn’t broken.Your attention just got stuck.

  • 280. Hormones, Anxiety, and Perimenopause: What Every Woman Needs to Know with Dr. Greg Mongeon

    280. Hormones, Anxiety, and Perimenopause: What Every Woman Needs to Know with Dr. Greg Mongeon
    Mar 12 2026
    Why do some women suddenly feel more anxious, more emotional, more exhausted, or just not like themselves during certain seasons of life? In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Greg Mongeon to talk about the very real connection between hormones, anxiety, stress, and perimenopause. This conversation is packed with insight for women who have been told their labs are “normal” while still feeling anything but normal. Dr. Greg shares his personal story, what led him into functional medicine, and why so many women are struggling with symptoms that are often overlooked, dismissed, or mislabeled. We talk about the role of the nervous system, the gut-brain connection, stress, liver health, hormone shifts, and why symptoms should never be ignored just because a lab value falls in the “normal” range. In this episode, we discuss: Why anxiety can intensify during perimenopause The difference between “normal” and optimal lab work How stress and nervous system dysregulation can affect hormones Why the gut, liver, and thyroid matter so much in hormone health The problem with one-size-fits-all wellness advice online Why so many women feel dismissed in traditional healthcare settings The truth about bioidentical hormones vs synthetic hormone therapy How to advocate for yourself when you know something feels off This episode is for the woman who feels like her body has changed, her mind feels more reactive, her cycle feels different, and she’s tired of being told everything is fine when it clearly doesn’t feel fine. More than anything, this conversation is about hope.Hope that your symptoms are not “all in your head.”Hope that there may be deeper answers.And hope that you are not broken. Dr. Greg’s goal is simple: to help people feel seen, understood, and supported while getting to the root of what’s really going on.
