Thyroid · Hashimoto’s · Perimenopause
Your blood results are normal. And still you feel unwell? I know that feeling.
Exhausted. Overwhelmed. Tried everything. I don’t know this from books, I have lived it. As a nutritional scientist, I know where to start.

What you feel
Tired every morning, however long you slept.
The scales won’t move, whatever you do.
Brain fog. The thought is gone before you finish it.
Your mood tips, and you can’t say why.
And you know: something isn’t right.
Your doctor says: everything is normal. I look behind the numbers.
Normal on a lab report means you are not acutely ill. It does not tell you whether your system is working well. My thyroid calculator shows you where your results really sit within the range.

What women ask me
When your report says “unremarkable” and your body says otherwise
These are the questions women type into a search bar at night. They are not imagined, and they deserve a better answer than a forum.
01
My thyroid results are normal. Why am I still so exhausted?
A TSH within the reference range means that this one value fits. In a Mayo Clinic study, around one in four people with treated hypothyroidism had ongoing or new symptoms despite a normal TSH, most often fatigue.1
02
My Hashimoto’s is well controlled. Why don’t I feel better?
The tablet replaces the hormone. It does not look at your immune system, your gut or your nutrient status. That is where I come in, alongside your medical treatment; decisions about medication stay with your doctor.
03
My hormone tests are normal. Could it still be perimenopause?
Yes, it could. For women over 45, the UK’s NICE guideline recommends recognising perimenopause from symptoms rather than from a blood test.2
04
Why do I keep waking up at night?
Waking at night rarely has a single cause. Hormones, the stress axis and blood sugar can feed into each other. Look at one value on its own and you miss the pattern.

How strongly do you feel this right now?
Move each slider to where you are today. 0 means you don’t notice it at all. 10 means it is with you every day. I will then show you whether your thyroid, your hormones or your stress axis is in the foreground, and send you the matching starter guide.

About Mona
“I don’t know this from books. I have lived it.”
I’m Mona Poulev, nutritional scientist (MSc) and women’s health expert. I know Hashimoto’s and perimenopause from my own life. I have supported women for more than 15 years and coached over 1,000 of them. I bring science and real life together: what actually works day to day, with a job, children and stress.
The book
I wrote a whole book about this.
“The Invisible Decade” explains what really happens in perimenopause. It helps you, and it helps you in conversations with your doctor.
Not ready for a call yet?
Then get some clarity for yourself first: the free self-check has 16 questions and takes about 3 minutes. You will see whether your thyroid, perimenopause or your stress axis is in the foreground, and receive the matching starter guide.
Frequently asked questions
What happens in the free clarity call?
You tell me how you are and what you have already tried. I look at where your system is stuck: thyroid, hormones, nutrients, stress. You leave with a first concrete step, not a generic “sleep more, stress less”, and with my honest view on whether we should work together.
Does working with you replace my doctor?
No. Diagnoses and medication stay in medical hands. I put your results and symptoms into context and give you reasons you can take into your next appointment.
My blood tests are normal. Can you still help me?
Yes. Normal on a lab report means you are not acutely ill. It does not tell you whether your system is working well. Many of my clients had normal results for years and still did not feel well. We look behind the numbers.
Can I work with you wherever I live?
Yes. The call and the support take place live on Zoom, in English or German, wherever you are in the world.
You don’t have to work through this on your own.
In the free clarity call, we look together at where your system is stuck right now. I tell you honestly what I see and whether we should work together.
