Perimenopause, Menopause, and Root Cause Medicine | Hormone Health, Weight Wellness, and Longevity with Dr. Hart and Dr. Fashho of Eviva

Hormones, Weight, and Longevity | Root Cause Medicine for Women in Perimenopause and Menopause with Dr. Hart and Dr. Fashho of Eviva

You have a good doctor.

She runs your labs. She listens. She cares.

And you still leave every appointment feeling like something is being missed.

You are not wrong. And this episode is going to tell you why.

In this episode of the Cortisol Coach Podcast, Christine Marie sits down with Dr. Abigail Hart and Dr. Charise Fashho — the co-founders of Eviva Total Wellness, both double board certified OB/GYNs and Obesity Medicine physicians, and Dr. Fashho holds additional certification as a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner — for a conversation about what happens when two highly trained physicians decide that good is not good enough for the women they serve.

Together they co-founded Eviva Total Wellness — a practice dedicated to hormone health, weight wellness, and longevity medicine — built for the woman who always knew there had to be more.

Dr. Hart had every credential. A chief residency. A career in gynecologic oncology. A lifelong commitment to fitness and health. And then came her breast cancer diagnosis in 2023. She was fit. She was active. She did everything right. And she still got sick. That experience sent her down a path of root cause research and cellular medicine that transformed her understanding of what women actually need.

Dr. Fashho met Dr. Hart on the labor wards — two OB/GYNs navigating one of the most demanding jobs in medicine while simultaneously trying to figure out their own health. Motherhood shifted her perspective completely. She started asking the question that medical training had never taught her to ask.

Why.

Christine also shares her own powerful moment — discovering that her social anxiety diagnosis was actually a serotonin deficiency revealed through genetic testing. And the reminder that lands throughout this entire conversation:

If you strip everything away, all you have is your health.

In this episode you will hear:

What led two board certified OB/GYNs to go beyond their training and build something new

What root cause and cellular medicine reveals that standard lab work misses

The truth about estrogen dominance and why so many women have it without knowing

What the MTHFR mutation is and why it matters for your hormones, mood, and metabolism

Why Christine's social anxiety diagnosis was actually a serotonin deficiency and how genetic testing revealed it

The functional testing Dr. Hart and Dr. Fashho run that most physicians never order

Why metabolic and cellular medicine is the missing piece for women who do everything right and still feel terrible

What Eviva Total Wellness is building and why it exists for women like you
