14 - The Gut, Hormone & Fertility Conversation We All Need | with Monika Anna

Monika Anna is a clinical nutritionist specialising in gut health, hormones, fertility, and preconception to postpartum nutrition and this conversation is one I have been wanting to have on the podcast for a long time. We get into the connection between gut health and hormonal health, what a truly healthy cycle actually looks like from a practitioner's perspective, and what Monika looks for in her clients that most people (including GPs) tend to miss. Whether you're thinking about fertility now or just want to understand your cycle and hormones better, this one is for you. We cover: * The connection between gut health and hormonal health that most women don't know about * What a healthy cycle actually looks like and the signs something might be off * Nutrition and lifestyle foundations for hormonal and cycle health * Fertility and preconception - what to address before you even start trying * What the wellness industry gets most wrong about hormonal health Find more of Monika: @monika_anna_nutritionist [https://www.instagram.com/monika_anna_nutritionist] Find more of me: @wellwithportia [http://instagram.com/wellwithportia] Work with Me [https://sikx4huyd81.typeform.com/to/lWmeHQ97] momentum-studios.com.au [momentum-studios.com.au]

12 - The Workout Habit That Might Be Holding You Back

This episode is not anti-exercise. Not even close. But it is an honest conversation about the relationship so many of us have built with movement and whether it's actually serving us. This week I'm breaking down why exercise is a stressor, what it means when it becomes your primary coping mechanism, and how to start moving with genuine intention rather than obligation, guilt, or anxiety. We cover: * Why exercise is a stressor and why that actually matters * The difference between movement that supports you and movement that's just a distraction * How to understand the intention behind your training * Signs you might be overtraining * How to set yourself up for success - fuelling, rest, recovery and training smarter * Why strength training is the greatest thing you can do for your body long term Find more of me: instagram.com/wellwithportia momentum-studios.com.au

10 - The HA Series Pt. 2: How I Got My Period Back After 8 Years

I lost my period at the end of 2017. I got it back in October 2025. This episode is the full story of everything in between - the doctors who told me to go on the pill, the years of half-committing to recovery, the moment I decided to say a quiet but firm no to the medical system and back myself completely. I'm covering exactly what my recovery looked like. The nutrition, the training, the lifestyle changes, and honestly the hardest part of all of it, the mental load. Because nobody talks about that part enough. This one is long, it's personal, and it's everything I wish someone had told me when I was in the thick of it. We cover: * How and why I lost my period in the first place * Years of mismanagement, misdiagnosis and being told to just go on the pill * The moment I decided to fully commit to natural recovery * What I actually changed (food, movement, sleep, lifestyle and mindset) * The mental and emotional reality of recovery that nobody warns you about * The night I got my period back and what it meant Find more of me: instagram.com/wellwithportia
