Ep. 20-From Gut to Hormones: Metabolic Root-Cause Healing for Midlife Women

Описание: In this episode of The Hippie Martha Hormone Hour, Ashley sits down with integrative Physician Assistant and health coach Danielle Kepics, PA, who helps high-functioning, Type A women move beyond band-aid solutions and build lasting, root-cause health.


With over a decade of clinical experience and advanced training in counseling psychology, fertility awareness, nutrition, and fitness, Danielle blends physiology, psychology, and lifestyle medicine in a way that actually works—plus a little added spiciness this show hasn’t seen before 🌶️.


Ashley and Danielle dive into the powerful connection between gut health and hormones, why perfectionism often shows up as physical symptoms, and how supporting the body metabolically first can transform cycle health. They also talk about using menstrual charting as a clinical tool, honest thoughts on BHRT, egg quality, and what real self-advocacy looks like for women in midlife.


If you’ve ever been told “everything looks normal” while your body is clearly saying otherwise—this conversation is for you.
