In this solo episode Sonja Hannus welcomes listeners to the Uplevel Podcast and uses the opportunity to share an in‑depth personal narrative that explains how she arrived at age 34 as a recognised expert on women’s hormonal health. She recounts her early experiences with hormonal contraception, the severe acne and irregular menstrual cycles that followed, and the subsequent BMS (premenstrual) symptoms that left her frustrated with conventional Western medicine. Turning to holistic and Eastern approaches, she studied nutrition, traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine, and learned to listen to her body’s signals. After years of trial and error—including hormone‑blocking treatments, restrictive diets, and body‑balance classes—she eventually restored a regular, symptom‑free 28‑day cycle, achieved fertility, and gave birth to two children. Sonja outlines her formal qualifications (MSc in Business from Aalto, Integrated Institution of Nutrition certification, yoga and pilates instructor credentials) and the mentors and books that shaped her methodology (Alisa Witti, Dr. Sarah Gottfried, Lily Nichols & Lisa Hendrickson). She describes the evolution of her entrepreneurial ventures: the 2017 launch of Virta Wellbeing with partner Hanna, its closure in 2024, the creation of Uplevel Oy, the development and soft‑launch of the “Heal Your Hormones” (HYH) coaching program, and the publication of two e‑books on hormonal health and natural acne treatment. Sonja also shares personal life details—her partnership with Anton, a software‑entrepreneur‑farmer, and their two young children—while emphasizing her holistic philosophy that integrates scientific research, gut health, stress management, and feminine‑masculine energy balance. The episode ends with calls to action: joining the HYH waiting list, downloading free resources, rating the podcast, and staying connected on social media.
