Dr. Alicia Newsome: – Midlife Rebalanced: How to Restore Your Hormones and Energy
Episode 332
Monday, 13 April, 2026
If you've been feeling unlike yourself lately — exhausted, wired, moody, foggy, or like your body is suddenly playing by a whole new set of rules — this episode is for you. In this conversation, I'm joined by Dr. Alicia Newsome, functional medicine practitioner, bestselling author, and founder of the Powerful & Healthy Academy, to talk about natural ways to support hormone balance in midlife. We dig into how stress affects hormones, why testing matters, and simple lifestyle shifts that can support more steady energy, better sleep, and fewer frustrating symptoms. Hormonal changes in midlife can leave many women feeling confused, dismissed, and frustrated. From low energy and sleep struggles to weight changes, mood swings, and hot flashes, it can feel like your body has suddenly become unfamiliar. In this episode of Living Life Naturally, I'm joined by Dr. Alicia Newsome — an international speaker, bestselling author, functional medicine practitioner, and founder of the Powerful & Healthy Academy. Dr. Alicia is passionate about helping women understand what's going on inside their bodies so they can move forward feeling more informed, supported, and confident. Together, we talk about natural approaches to hormone balance during perimenopause and menopause, with a strong focus on looking at the whole picture rather than simply masking symptoms. In this episode, we discuss: · why hormone changes in midlife can affect energy, sleep, weight, and mood · how chronic stress can disrupt hormone balance · why the body often prioritizes cortisol over sex hormones during times of stress · natural ways to support the body, including reducing toxic burden and addressing deficiencies · the importance of testing rather than guessing · how personalized support may include adaptogens and targeted supplementation · hormone-friendly daily routines that support steadier energy and better resilience · the benefits of a savory, protein-rich breakfast · how evening brain-dumping and transition routines can support a calmer nervous system · the role of functional testing, including Dutch testing, 24-hour urine testing, and blood work · how Dr. Alicia works with women virtually and the free resources she offers through her website One of the things I especially appreciated in this conversation is Dr. Alicia's reminder that there is no one-size-fits-all solution. What works for one woman may not be what another woman needs, which is why getting clearer information about your body can be so important. This episode is packed with practical insight for women who are tired of guessing and are ready to better understand their symptoms and next steps.
