What if some of the health advice you’ve been following is actually making it harder for your body to thrive?
In this episode of It’s Hertime, Cody sits down with Dr. John Douillard—Ayurvedic expert, chiropractor, bestselling author, and founder of LifeSpa—to explore why the pursuit of “perfect health” may be leading many people in the wrong direction.
For years we’ve been told to eliminate more foods, track more metrics, optimize every habit, and follow increasingly complicated wellness protocols. But what if better health isn’t about doing more? What if it’s about reconnecting with the natural rhythms your body was designed to follow?
Dr. John shares how ancient Ayurvedic principles continue to be supported by modern science and explains why resilience—not restriction—is one of the greatest predictors of long-term health. Together, they explore digestion, circadian rhythms, seasonal eating, the microbiome, lymphatic health, breathing, and the simple daily habits that can help you feel more energized, resilient, and vibrant at every stage of life.
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by conflicting health advice, this episode is a refreshing reminder that sometimes the most powerful changes are also the simplest.
In This Episode
- Why modern health advice has become so complicated
- The hidden downside of restrictive diets and constant optimization
- How to build resilience instead of simply avoiding symptoms
- Why your body’s daily rhythms affect energy, hormones, metabolism, and sleep
- The connection between seasonal eating and a healthy microbiome
- Why digestion is the foundation of long-term wellness
- The overlooked role of the lymphatic system in inflammation and longevity
- How nose breathing supports your nervous system, energy, and overall health
- What Ayurveda teaches us about healthy aging—and how modern science is catching up
- Simple, practical habits you can start today to support lifelong vitality

For years, women have been told that weight gain, irregular cycles, insulin resistance, elevated cholesterol, fatigue, and hormone imbalances are separate problems requiring separate solutions.
But what if they're all connected?
In this episode, Cody sits down with Dr. Sirisha Vadali, board-certified cardiologist, advanced lipidologist, and Program Director of HonorHealth's Cardiometabolic Program, to explore the growing understanding of women's metabolic health and why experts are rethinking the way we approach conditions like PCOS.
Dr. Vadali explains why many experts now support the term PMOS (Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome), recognizing that this condition affects far more than the ovaries. Together, they discuss how hormones, insulin resistance, inflammation, metabolism, and cardiovascular health are deeply interconnected—and why understanding that bigger picture can completely change a woman's approach to her health.
Whether you've struggled with weight loss, elevated cholesterol, insulin resistance, irregular cycles, or simply feel like your symptoms haven't been taken seriously, this conversation offers both validation and practical hope.
In This Episode You'll Learn:
- Why many experts are advocating for the shift from PCOS to PMOS
- The surprising relationship between hormones, insulin resistance, and metabolism
- Why cardiovascular health should be part of every woman's hormone conversation
- Early signs of insulin resistance that often go unnoticed
- Why women are frequently dismissed or misdiagnosed
- How inflammation impacts hormones and long-term health
- What cholesterol really tells us about metabolic health
- Lifestyle habits that have the greatest impact on insulin sensitivity
- Why quick fixes rarely create lasting results
- Practical ways to reduce future cardiometabolic risk
Key Takeaway
Women's health isn't just about hormones.
It's about understanding how hormones, metabolism, inflammation, insulin, and cardiovascular health all work together.
When we stop treating symptoms in isolation and begin supporting the whole system, we create a much stronger foundation for long-term health.

What if feeling tired, gaining weight, losing muscle, and struggling with brain fog aren’t inevitable consequences of getting older?
For decades, we’ve been told that decline is simply part of aging. But today’s guest believes we’ve been asking the wrong question.
Dr. Jerry Mixon has practiced medicine for more than 50 years and has spent the last three decades focused on longevity medicine—helping people stay strong, healthy, and vibrant well into their later decades. At 78 years old, he still runs three miles a day and believes that many of the symptoms we blame on age are actually signs that the body is no longer getting what it needs to function optimally.
In this conversation, we explore what healthy aging really looks like, why menopause is one of the biggest turning points in a woman’s health journey, the critical role hormones and muscle play in longevity, and the exciting science behind senescent—or “zombie”—cells. We also discuss why purpose, movement, and community may be just as important as nutrition and exercise when it comes to extending both lifespan and healthspan.
If you’ve ever wondered whether your best years are truly behind you, this episode offers a hopeful—and science-backed—perspective that they don’t have to be.
In This Episode You’ll Learn:
- Why aging and health decline are not the same thing.
- The biggest myths we’ve been taught about growing older.
- Symptoms women should stop dismissing as “just aging.”
- Why menopause is a critical turning point for long-term health.
- The truth about estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone after 40.
- Why muscle is one of the strongest predictors of longevity.
- How strength training supports metabolism, independence, and healthy aging.
- What senescent (“zombie”) cells are and how they contribute to inflammation and disease.
- The daily habits that consistently show up in people who age well.
- Why purpose and staying engaged may be one of the most powerful longevity strategies of all.
Whether you’re in your 40s, navigating menopause, or simply want to feel your best for decades to come, this conversation will challenge what you’ve been taught about aging—and inspire you to take ownership of your future health.

Have you ever been told your lab work is “normal,” but you still feel exhausted, anxious, foggy, inflamed, or like something just isn’t right?
You’re not imagining it—and you’re not alone.
In this episode of It’s Hertime, Cody sits down with Dr. Jade Guerra, Nurse Practitioner, Doctor of Chiropractic, and Functional Medicine practitioner with nearly 35 years of clinical experience, to explore why so many women continue to struggle despite being told everything looks “fine.”
Together they unpack what traditional lab work can miss, why thyroid health is far more complex than a single TSH value, how blood sugar influences everything from hormones to mood, and why healing begins when we stop chasing symptoms and start asking better questions.
Whether you’re dealing with fatigue, stubborn weight gain, autoimmune disease, thyroid symptoms, brain fog, or simply know your body is trying to tell you something, this conversation will help you understand what’s happening beneath the surface.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why “normal” lab results don’t always mean optimal health
- Why so many women leave medical appointments feeling unheard
- What “root cause” medicine actually means
- How stress changes hormones, metabolism, and thyroid function
- Why TSH is only one piece of evaluating thyroid health
- The connection between thyroid health, gut health, inflammation, and the liver
- Early signs of blood sugar dysregulation that often go unnoticed
- Why muscle, protein, sleep, and stress all affect insulin sensitivity
- What contributes to autoimmune disease beyond genetics
- How nutrition, movement, nervous system regulation, and targeted supplementation work together to support healing
- The simple daily habits that have the biggest long-term impact on health
Dr. Guerra also shares her personal journey—from growing up as a first-generation American to building one of the country’s largest virtual functional medicine practices—and offers encouragement for women who know they don’t feel like themselves but aren’t sure where to turn next.
If you’ve ever felt dismissed, discouraged, or frustrated by your health journey, this episode is a reminder that your symptoms deserve curiosity—not dismissal.

What if your body isn’t working against you?
What if it’s making intelligent decisions based on the resources it has available?
In this episode of It’s Hertime, Cody sits down with biochemist and Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner Nick Dorsey for one of the most thought-provoking conversations we’ve had on the podcast.
Together, they explore a powerful idea: the body is constantly evaluating its environment—assessing energy, nutrients, stress, inflammation, toxicity, and biological safety—to determine where its resources should go.
When those resources are limited, the body may intentionally downregulate energy-intensive processes like fertility, hormone production, metabolism, immune regulation, and repair. Not because it’s failing—but because it’s adapting.
Nick explains why symptoms such as fatigue, hormone imbalances, gut dysfunction, anxiety, weight loss resistance, and even unexplained infertility may be intelligent protective responses rather than isolated problems to “fix.”
This conversation will challenge the way you think about health and introduce a systems-based framework that connects the microbiome, mitochondria, minerals, and nervous system into one beautifully integrated picture.
If you’ve ever been told your labs are “normal” but you still don’t feel like yourself, this episode offers a refreshing perspective on why that can happen—and what your body may actually be asking for.
In this episode, we discuss:
●Why the body is constantly making decisions behind the scenes
●How the body decides where to spend its energy and resources
●Why fertility is an energy and resource decision—not simply a hormone problem
●Why “unexplained infertility” often isn’t unexplained at all
●Why normal lab work doesn’t always mean the body has what it needs to heal or reproduce
●The hidden resource economy behind hormone imbalance, chronic fatigue, thyroid dysfunction, gut issues, anxiety, and inflammation
●The Four Pillars of Biological Readiness:
●The microbiome
●Mitochondrial health
●Mineral balance
●Nervous system regulation
●What “biological safety” really means
●How chronic stress, nutrient deficiencies, toxins, blood sugar instability, inflammation, and poor sleep influence every system in the body
●Why symptom-chasing often keeps people stuck
●What true resilience and healing actually look like

One of the themes that came up repeatedly in this conversation is the importance of mineral balance and understanding the body’s unique patterns of adaptation.
This is exactly why I use Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) in my practice.
HTMA is a functional assessment that measures mineral patterns in the tissues—not just what’s circulating in the blood—to help uncover stress patterns, metabolic tendencies, and mineral imbalances that may be influencing energy, hormones, thyroid function, nervous system regulation, and overall resilience.
If you’re tired of being told everything looks “normal” but you still don’t feel like yourself, HTMA can provide a different lens for understanding what your body has been communicating all along.
If you’d like to work with me or have an HTMA kit sent directly to your home, send me a DM on Instagram at @codyjeansanders with the word HTMA. I’d love to help you better understand your body’s unique story.

Because sometimes the most important step toward healing isn’t finding another protocol—it’s understanding how brilliantly your body has been working to protect you all along.

What if chronic disease isn’t just about hormones, blood sugar, inflammation, or aging, but about communication?
In this fascinating conversation, Cody sits down with peripheral nerve surgeon and regenerative medicine pioneer Dr. Richard Jacoby to explore a provocative perspective on health: that many chronic conditions may begin with disrupted communication throughout the nervous system.
Dr. Jacoby shares the principles behind his Global Compression Theory, explaining how nerve compression may interfere with blood flow, oxygen delivery, nutrient transport, and the body’s ability to repair itself. Together, they discuss why symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, chronic pain, hormone imbalances, neuropathy, and metabolic dysfunction may all be connected in ways conventional medicine often overlooks.
The conversation also dives into blood sugar, insulin resistance, regenerative medicine, stem cells, exosomes, and the future of healing, while thoughtfully exploring why innovative ideas often take decades to become mainstream.
Whether you’re navigating perimenopause, menopause, chronic inflammation, unexplained symptoms, or simply want a deeper understanding of how the body heals, this episode offers a fresh perspective on what it means to restore health from the inside out.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
• Why Dr. Jacoby believes the nervous system is the body’s communication network
• What the Global Compression Theory is—and how it may relate to chronic disease
• How nerve compression can affect circulation, cellular function, and healing
• The connection between metabolism, glucose, insulin, and nerve health
• Why neuropathy is about much more than numb feet
• Early warning signs that communication within the body may be breaking down
• How regenerative medicine, stem cells, and exosomes could transform healthcare
• Why medicine is often slow to embrace new ideas
• Practical ways to support your nervous system and overall health
If this conversation gave you a new perspective on healing, share it with a friend or family member who has been searching for answers.

What if your struggles with food have very little to do with food itself?
In this powerful conversation, Cody sits down with food relationship coach, chef, and author Amber Caudle to explore the deeper emotional, psychological, and nervous system factors that drive our relationship with food.
After decades of battling bingeing, restriction, food obsession, and body shame while building a successful career around food, Amber discovered that food was never the real problem. Instead, it was acting as a messenger—pointing toward unmet needs, chronic stress, emotional wounds, and a disconnection from self.
Together, Cody and Amber unpack why so many women feel trapped in cycles of emotional eating, perfectionism, and self-criticism, and how healing begins when we stop trying to control our bodies and start listening to them.
This episode is a compassionate invitation to move beyond food rules and willpower and toward self-trust, nervous system regulation, and true nourishment.
Whether you’ve struggled with dieting, emotional eating, body image, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself, this conversation offers hope, insight, and practical wisdom for finding peace with food—and with your body.
⸻
In This Episode, We Discuss:
- Why food is often the language of unmet needs
- The hidden emotional drivers behind overeating and food obsession
- How stress and nervous system dysregulation influence eating behaviors
- The difference between physical hunger and emotional hunger
- Why willpower is often not the problem
- The connection between trauma, food, and body trust
- How busyness and over-functioning impact our relationship with nourishment
- Why women often use food as a source of comfort, relief, and self-care
- The downside of health perfectionism and wellness overwhelm
- Aging, body image, and learning to trust your body in midlife
- What food freedom actually looks like
- How to begin making peace with your body
- What women are truly hungry for beyond food

Many women are doing everything "right."
They're eating healthy, taking supplements, exercising, seeing specialists, getting labs done… and yet they still feel exhausted, inflamed, anxious, hormonally imbalanced, unable to lose weight, struggling with sleep, gut issues, thyroid symptoms, autoimmune conditions, or fertility challenges.
So what if the problem isn't a lack of effort?
What if the real issue is happening further upstream?
In this fascinating episode of The It's Hertime Podcast, Cody sits down with Deborah Maragopoulos, FNP—better known as "The Hormone Queen"—to discuss the powerful role of the hypothalamus, a small but critical part of the brain that helps regulate hormones, metabolism, sleep, digestion, stress response, immunity, fertility, body temperature, and much more.
Drawing from more than 30 years of clinical experience working with complex chronic illness cases, Deborah explains why so many women feel dismissed, why normal labs don't always mean optimal health, and why addressing symptoms alone often fails to create lasting healing.
Together, Cody and Deborah explore the connection between stress, the nervous system, thyroid function, gut health, autoimmunity, metabolism, and hormone balance—and what women can do to support the body's communication systems naturally.
If you've ever felt like you've tried everything and still don't feel like yourself, this conversation may connect some important dots.
In this episode, we discuss:
• What the hypothalamus is and why it matters
• Why women can feel terrible despite "normal" lab results
• The connection between stress and hormone signaling
• How nervous system overload impacts metabolism and health
• Why thyroid symptoms persist for some women even on medication
• The relationship between gut health, inflammation, and hormones
• Hashimoto's, autoimmune disease, and chronic stress patterns
• Weight loss resistance, fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, and sleep disruption
• Why so many women feel stuck despite doing all the right things
• Practical ways to support the body's communication systems naturally

Most women have been taught to normalize bloating, constipation, fatigue, food sensitivities, brain fog, and hormone symptoms… but those symptoms are often the body trying to communicate something deeper.
In this gut health episode every woman needs to hear, Cody sits down with gut health educator and “Poop Fairy” Marina Ortega to talk about constipation, detoxification, parasites, colonics, drainage pathways, nervous system health, and why proper elimination matters more than most women realize.
Marina is the Founder of Scottsdale Hydrotherapy and Co-Founder of Trust Your Gut. After battling chronic constipation, parasites, mold toxicity, and debilitating fatigue herself, she became passionate about helping women understand digestion, drainage pathways, detox support, and the gut-brain connection in a realistic and approachable way.
Together, Cody and Marina unpack:
• Why constipation is so common in women
• Signs your drainage pathways may be sluggish
• The connection between gut health and hormones
• How stress impacts digestion and elimination
• Why detox can sometimes make people feel worse
• Parasites, cravings, anxiety, and inflammation
• Coffee enemas, castor oil packs, colonics, and affordable at-home tools
• The nervous system’s role in bloating and gut dysfunction
• Why healing doesn’t have to be extreme or expensive
This episode is funny, eye-opening, educational, and incredibly validating for women who feel bloated, inflamed, exhausted, hormonally off, or dismissed by conventional approaches.

What if the symptoms we experience are actually important clues about what the body is navigating beneath the surface?
In today’s episode, Cody sits down with naturopathic practitioner and certified homeopath Anne Dunev for a deep conversation about the powerful connection between stress, hormones, gut health, mindset, and chronic illness.
After her own battle with ulcerative colitis and being told she may never fully recover, Anne began asking deeper questions about what was happening physically, emotionally, and neurologically. That search led her into over 30 years of studying how the body responds to stress, unresolved emotional patterns, infections, inflammation, and hormonal imbalance.
Together, Cody and Anne explore:
- Why so many women feel dismissed when labs come back “normal”
- The connection between chronic stress and hormone dysfunction
- How gut symptoms are often tied to the nervous system
- Why unresolved emotional stress can affect physical healing
- The relationship between inflammation, cortisol, and digestive issues
- The importance of learning the language of symptoms instead of suppressing them
Anne also shares how her work has incorporated principles from Dianetics, a self-development philosophy created by L. Ron Hubbard that explores how past experiences, stress patterns, and subconscious reactions may influence emotional and physical well-being. Cody and Anne discuss the broader idea that the mind and body are deeply connected and that healing often requires addressing both physiology and perception.
This episode is thoughtful, layered, and eye-opening for anyone who has ever felt like they’ve been searching for deeper answers about their health.
Whether you’re struggling with hormone imbalance, digestive symptoms, chronic stress, burnout, or simply trying to understand yourself better, this conversation will leave you looking at healing through a completely different lens.

In this deep dive episode, Cody Sanders breaks down Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) and explains why it has become one of her favorite tools for understanding women’s health through an entirely different lens.
This conversation goes far beyond “just minerals.”
Cody explores how stress, burnout, nervous system dysregulation, blood sugar instability, trauma, hormone imbalance, thyroid dysfunction, PCOS, fertility struggles, and menopause all influence the body’s internal terrain — and why so many women feel exhausted, inflamed, anxious, and dismissed despite being told their labs look “normal.”
You’ll learn how the body adapts to chronic stress over time, why minerals are foundational for energy and hormone signaling, and how healing shifts when we stop fighting the body and start understanding what it’s been trying to communicate all along.
Throughout the episode, Cody shares powerful client stories that illustrate how rebuilding the body’s terrain through nourishment, mineral support, nervous system regulation, blood sugar stability, and recovery can completely change a woman’s healing journey.
In This Episode, We Cover:
- What HTMA (Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis) actually is
- Why minerals matter for hormones, metabolism, and nervous system regulation
- The connection between chronic stress and mineral depletion
- Why women can have “normal” thyroid labs but still feel hypothyroid
- Cellular energy, mineral balance, and hormone signaling
- Fast oxidizers vs. slow oxidizers explained simply
- How HTMA can reveal stress adaptation patterns
- PCOS through a terrain-based and nervous system lens
- Why restriction and overtraining can backfire
- The importance of mineral reserves before pregnancy
- How menopause can expose underlying depletion patterns
- Autoimmunity, burnout, and loss of resilience
- Why healing is about support, not punishment
- How nervous system regulation changes everything
Key Takeaways
- Symptoms are communication, not failure
- The body adapts to the environment it believes it’s living in
- Hormones cannot be separated from the terrain they operate within
- Mineral balance affects energy production, stress resilience, thyroid function, detoxification, blood sugar regulation, and nervous system health
- Many women are functioning in survival mode without realizing it
- Healing often begins when the body finally feels safe enough to stop compensating

If you’ve ever thought…
“I’m doing everything right… so why isn’t this working?”
This episode is going to connect some major dots.
Because what if it’s not that your body is broken…
…it’s that your body needs something different?
In today’s conversation, Cody sits down with Becca Roses, founder of Mind Body Genes, to break down epigenetics in a way that actually makes sense—and actually applies to your life.
You’ll learn how your genes act as a blueprint… but your lifestyle, stress, and environment determine how that blueprint is expressed.
And why two women can follow the exact same plan—and get completely different results.
In This Episode:
- What epigenetics actually means (in real life, not textbook language)
- Why “doing everything right” can still leave you feeling stuck
- How your genes influence your stress response and nervous system
- The connection between epigenetics and hormone balance
- Why some women struggle more with PMS, heavy periods, or perimenopause
- How to start supporting your body without overwhelm
Key Takeaways:
- Your body is not random—it’s responding
- Your genes are not your destiny, they’re your blueprint
- Stress sensitivity is not a weakness—it’s information
- Hormone symptoms often point to deeper patterns
- Personalization is the missing piece for so many women

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything “right”…
eating well, taking the supplements, showing up for your life…
…but you’re still exhausted, stuck, or not seeing the results you expected—
this episode is going to connect some major dots for you.
Because sometimes…
it’s not about doing more.
It’s about what’s happening underneath it all.
Your nervous system.
In this episode of It’s Hertime, Cody sits down with Annie Yatch, who brings a fascinating perspective from her background in counterterrorism—where she was trained to identify hidden threats before they became visible problems.
Now, she applies that same lens to high-performing women, helping them uncover the internal patterns, nervous system overload, and subconscious dynamics that quietly keep them stuck… even when everything on the outside looks like it should be working.
This conversation is powerful, eye-opening, and deeply validating for any woman who has ever asked:
“Why do I feel this way when I’m doing everything right?”
⸻
What You’ll Learn in This Episode
• Why doing “all the right things” still isn’t enough for many women
• How your nervous system quietly shapes your energy, hormones, and capacity
• The concept of internal vs external threats—and why internal ones matter more
• How being “the strong one” can actually keep you stuck
• The connection between your home life, stress patterns, and physical health
• Why your body won’t respond if it doesn’t feel safe
• Practical ways to begin regulating your nervous system today
• How to finally shift from pushing harder → to actually feeling better
⸻
Key Takeaway
You cannot out-diet, out-supplement, or out-strategize a body that doesn’t feel safe.
When you begin supporting both your nervous system and your physical body…
that’s when your energy shifts, your hormones respond, and things start to feel lighter.

If you feel like your body suddenly stopped responding in your 40s or 50s… you’re not imagining it.
You’re eating well. You’re trying to stay active. You’re doing what used to work.
And yet — you still feel exhausted, stuck, or disconnected from your body.
In this episode of It’s Hertime, Cody sits down with midlife fitness expert Heike Yates to unpack what’s really happening in your body during this phase of life—and why pushing harder is often the exact thing working against you.
With over 35 years in the health and fitness space, Heike brings a grounded, compassionate approach to helping women rebuild strength, confidence, and energy in midlife—without burnout, extremes, or unrealistic expectations.
Together, they explore the deeper layers of midlife health—where hormones, metabolism, stress, identity, and nervous system regulation all intersect.
This is the conversation that helps you finally understand why your body feels different—and what to do about it.
In This Episode, We Cover:
- Why “what used to work” stops working in your 40s and 50s
- The real reason your metabolism feels slower (and what’s actually happening)
- How stress, hormones, and the nervous system impact fat loss and energy
- The hidden layer of midlife burnout (it’s not just physical)
- How identity shifts affect your motivation, confidence, and consistency
- The biggest fitness mistakes women make in midlife (and how to fix them)
- How to approach strength training, cardio, and recovery in a hormone-supportive way
- SPARK Framework explained in a simple, practical way
- How to rebuild trust with your body when it feels like it’s “working against you”
- A simple, realistic reset if you’re feeling stuck, exhausted, or overwhelmed

- You’re navigating perimenopause or menopause

What if one of the most important factors in fertility… isn’t something you’re eating, supplementing, or tracking—but something you’re breathing?
In this episode of It’s Hertime, Cody sits down with Dr. Kathryn C. Worrilow, a globally recognized expert in reproductive science and environmental health, to uncover a hidden piece of the fertility conversation that most women—and even many clinics—aren’t talking about:
Air quality.
With over 20 years in reproductive medicine and more than 75 scientific publications, Dr. Worrilow shares how invisible airborne contaminants can directly impact reproductive health, embryo development, and pregnancy outcomes.
And here’s where it gets especially eye-opening—
this research began inside IVF labs.
Environments that are meant to be some of the most controlled and protective…
yet even there, air quality has been shown to significantly influence success rates.
Which raises a bigger question:
If it matters that much there… what about the air we’re exposed to every day?
In this conversation, we explore:
•The moment Dr. Worrilow realized air quality could be impacting fertility outcomes
•What’s actually in the air (and how it affects the body)
•Why this matters even if you’re trying to conceive naturally
•What most fertility clinics aren’t talking about
•The data behind improved IVF success rates with better air quality
•Simple, practical ways to improve the air quality in your home
This episode is a powerful reminder that your body is constantly responding to its environment—and sometimes, the most overlooked factors are the ones that matter most.
Whether you’re on a fertility journey, supporting someone who is, or simply want to create a healthier space for your body to thrive, this conversation will open your eyes in the best way.

What if the symptoms you’ve been trying to fix…
aren’t actually hormone problems?
In this episode of It’s Hertime, Cody sits down with Laura Federico and Morgan Miller, co-authors of The Cycle Book, to explore a perspective most women have never been taught:
That what we often label as “hormone imbalance”… may actually be a nervous system that doesn’t feel safe.
From PMDD and mood swings to libido and cycle-related anxiety, this conversation reframes what’s really happening in the body—and why so many women feel like a completely different person throughout the month.
If you’ve ever felt like:
•You’re doing everything “right” but still feel off
•Your mood shifts feel intense or unpredictable
•You dread certain phases of your cycle
•Your libido feels inconsistent or confusing
•You’ve been told it’s “just hormones”… but it doesn’t fully explain it
This episode will connect some powerful dots.
In this conversation, we talk about:
•What it actually means to live in a “bracing” state
•The connection between nervous system safety and hormone symptoms
•A deeper look at PMDD and mood shifts (beyond just hormones)
•Why cycle tracking apps can sometimes disconnect you from your body
•How to start tracking your cycle intuitively, without relying on an app
•The relationship between safety, stress, and libido
•Simple, realistic ways to begin building safety in your body
This episode is an invitation to stop asking,
“What’s wrong with me?”
…and start asking,
“What is my body trying to tell me?”
Because when your body feels safe,
everything—from your hormones to your energy to your mood—starts to shift.

Heavy periods. Constant fatigue. Brain fog. Hair loss.
And yet… your labs come back “normal.”
So you’re told everything looks fine—and maybe to take more iron.
But what if the issue isn’t that you don’t have enough iron…
what if your body just isn’t able to use it effectively?
In this episode of the It’s Hertime Podcast,Cody is joined by Samantha Chandler from Wellness & Womb to explore a perspective that’s often missing in women’s health conversations: iron regulation.
Together they talk about why so many women experience heavy periods and low energy—even when their iron levels appear normal—and how iron can become “stuck” in the body, meaning it’s not being properly transported to the tissues that need it most.
As a Functional Diagnostic Nutritionist, Cody also shares how she uses Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) to look at mineral patterns and better understand what’s happening beneath the surface—especially when symptoms don’t match standard lab results.
If you’ve ever felt dismissed by “normal” labs… or frustrated that what you’re doing isn’t working—this episode will help you start asking better questions.
⸻
What You’ll Learn
•Why heavy periods aren’t always caused by low iron
•The difference between iron levels vs. iron regulation
•What it means for iron to be “stuck” in the body
•Why you can feel exhausted even with “normal” labs
•How iron impacts menstrual health, hormones, and fertility
•The role of minerals like copper, zinc, and magnesium in iron metabolism
•Why iron supplements don’t always improve symptoms
•How inflammation and stress can block iron utilization (hello, hepcidin)
•A more holistic way to approach fatigue and hormone imbalance

Why do some diets work beautifully for one person… and completely backfire for another?
In this episode of It’s Hertime, Cody Sanders sits down with Neha Shah, founder of Diaspora Nutrition, to explore a more nuanced question:
Should we be eating based on our ancestry?
Together, they unpack the growing conversation around personalized nutrition — and whether our genetics, lineage, and cultural food patterns play a meaningful role in how our bodies respond to food.
This conversation moves beyond trendy diets and into something deeper:
understanding the context of your body.
They explore:
•Whether ancestry actually impacts metabolism, digestion, and food tolerance
•The science behind lactase persistence, amylase variation, and microbiome adaptation
•Why “eat for your ancestry” can be helpful… or overly simplified
•What to consider if you have mixed or unknown heritage
•Whether genetic and microbiome testing is worth it — or overhyped
•Why many women in midlife suddenly feel more sensitive to foods they used to tolerate
•How to approach nutrition with curiosity instead of control
This episode is especially powerful for women in their 40s and 50s who feel like their body is changing — and want a more personalized, intelligent way to support it.
Because maybe the better question isn’t:
“What diet works?”
It’s: “What does my body actually respond well to now?”

Hot flashes. Brain fog. Weight gain. Poor sleep. Anxiety. Low libido.
For many women over 40, these symptoms begin during perimenopause and menopause, yet they’re often dismissed as simply “normal aging.”
In this episode of It’s Hertime, Cody Sanders sits down with Dr. Melissa Miskell, a physician with more than 30 years of experience helping women navigate menopause, hormone imbalance, and hormone replacement therapy (HRT).
Together they break down what bioidentical hormone therapy actually is, how it differs from older synthetic hormone treatments, and why many women still struggle to receive proper hormone care.
After the 2002 Women’s Health Initiative study, the conversation around hormone therapy shifted dramatically. Many physicians stopped prescribing HRT, leaving countless women navigating perimenopause symptoms and menopause symptoms without clear guidance or support.
Dr. Miskell explains how individualized hormone therapy works, why hormone changes impact so many aspects of health, and how restoring hormonal balance may improve both quality of life and long-term health outcomes.
This conversation also explores the connection between hormones and heart health, brain health, bone density, and metabolic health—topics every woman should understand as she enters midlife.
If you’re a woman over 40 experiencing symptoms like hot flashes, fatigue, brain fog, or mood changes, this episode will help you better understand your options and advocate for your health.
In This Episode• What bioidentical hormone therapy (HRT) is and how it works
• The difference between synthetic hormones and bioidentical hormones
• Why many women are dismissed when seeking help for menopause symptoms
• What changed in hormone therapy after the Women’s Health Initiative study
• Why antidepressants are often prescribed instead of evaluating hormones
• How hormones influence heart health, brain health, and bone density
• Why individualized hormone therapy can improve quality of life in midlife
• The first steps women can take if they suspect hormone imbalance

Perimenopause and menopause are some of the most transformative—and misunderstood—seasons of a woman’s life. Yet many women seeking help for symptoms like brain fog, irritability, low libido, weight gain, and fatigue are told their labs are “normal” or that what they’re experiencing is simply part of aging.
In this episode of It’s Hertime, Cody Sanders sits down with Dana Culp, Doctor of Nursing Practice and Certified Menopause Expert, to talk about the growing menopause care gap—and why so many women feel dismissed by the medical system during midlife.
Dana works with women navigating perimenopause and menopause every day in her clinics. What makes her approach unique is her commitment to truly individualized care. Instead of relying only on lab numbers or rigid treatment guidelines, she looks at the full picture of a woman’s physiology, lifestyle, stress load, and hormonal transitions.
Together, Cody and Dana unpack why midlife symptoms are often misunderstood, how dismissal from healthcare providers impacts women emotionally, and what supportive care during this stage of life should actually look like.
If you’ve ever felt unseen, unheard, or told to “just wait it out,” this conversation will help you understand what’s really happening in your body—and why you deserve better support.
⸻
In This Episode, We Discuss
Why so many women feel dismissed by doctors during perimenopause and menopause
Common symptoms women experience in midlife, including brain fog, mood changes, fatigue, and weight gain
Why “normal labs” don’t always mean your hormones are balanced
How hormonal fluctuations affect stress tolerance, resilience, and identity in midlife
The emotional impact of being told your symptoms are “just aging”
What individualized menopause care actually looks like
When hormone therapy can help—and why hormones alone are not always the full solution
The real drivers of low libido in midlife, including hormones, nervous system safety, and blood flow
How women can rebuild trust with their bodies during the menopause transition
Why midlife can become one of the most powerful seasons of a woman’s life
Midlife is not the problem. The problem is a care model that often fails to see the whole woman.

In this meaningful episode of It’s Hertime, Cody Sanders sits down with Aubin Palmer—registered nurse turned author, mother of three daughters, and creator of the Power Women movement—for an honest conversation about what happens when strong, capable women start to feel quietly disconnected from themselves.
Aubin shares her journey from working as an RN caring for women in vulnerable seasons to feeling the persistent inner nudge that there was more she was meant to create. That calling ultimately led to the creation of Power Women, a collaborative book featuring the lived experiences of more than 50 women whose stories remind readers that power doesn’t always look loud, polished, or linear.
Together, Cody and Aubin explore the emotional and identity shifts many women face—especially during motherhood, burnout, hormonal transitions, and major life pivots—and why so many high-capacity women find themselves feeling stretched thin or disconnected despite doing everything “right.”
They also discuss the powerful themes that emerged from compiling women’s stories, why storytelling can be deeply healing for the nervous system, and how the Power Women movement is giving forward by placing books into the hands of women navigating particularly tender seasons, including postpartum mothers.
This episode is a supportive listen for any woman who has been the helper, the caretaker, or the one holding everything together—and is ready to come back home to herself.
In this episode, listeners will learn:
•Aubin Palmer’s transition from registered nurse to movement builder
•Why strong women often experience seasons of disconnection
•The most common themes that emerged from 50+ women’s stories
•What power really looks like in quiet or difficult seasons
•How storytelling supports emotional and nervous system healing
•Who the Power Women book is especially meant to support
•How the book is being donated to women in challenging circumstances
•One small step women can take this week to reconnect with themselves

Why are so many women still exhausted—even when they’re eating well, sleeping more, and being told their labs look “normal”?
In this episode of It’s Hertime, Cody Sanders sits down with Dr. Evan Hirsch, also known as the EnergyMD, to unpack the real root causes behind chronic fatigue, long COVID, and persistent low energy in women. Drawing from both his personal health journey and clinical work, Dr. Hirsch explains why fatigue is rarely just about sleep or stress—and what actually needs to happen for true energy recovery.
Together, Cody and Dr. Hirsch explore the systems-based drivers of fatigue, the role of nervous system dysregulation, and why many women feel worse when they try to “push through.” If you or someone you love feels tired all the time, wired but exhausted, or stuck in burnout despite doing all the right things, this conversation will bring clarity and hope.
⸻
In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
•The difference between being tired and having true chronic fatigue
•Why standard lab work often misses the root causes of low energy
•How long COVID and ME/CFS overlap with hormone and nervous system dysfunction
•The EnergyMD Method and the “Toxic Five” contributors to fatigue
•Why pushing harder with exercise can sometimes backfire
•How nervous system regulation impacts energy, recovery, and resilience
•The first steps women can take to start rebuilding real, sustainable energy
⸻

Dr. Evan Hirsch is a fatigue expert who specializes in helping people recover from chronic fatigue syndrome, long COVID, and complex energy issues using a root-cause, functional medicine approach.

What if the problem isn’t that your body is broken… but that it’s overloaded?
In this episode of It’s Hertime, women’s health practitioner and functional nutritionist Cody Sanders sits down with Miguel Bautista to explore a powerful reframe around chronic fatigue, burnout, Long COVID, and “mystery” symptoms.
Miguel shares how he went from thriving personal trainer to completely bedridden and hospitalized — only to be told his labs were “normal.” What ultimately shifted his recovery wasn’t another protocol or supplement. It was understanding how nervous system overload was driving his symptoms.
This conversation is especially relevant for high-functioning women who:
•Feel exhausted despite normal lab work
•Have been told “everything looks fine”
•Push harder when their bodies push back
•Feel like their system can’t handle stress the way it used to
In this episode, we discuss:
•What nervous system dysregulation actually means
•Why symptoms feel intensely physical
•Why over-efforting, biohacking, and pushing through often backfire
•The emotional side of recovery
•How to rebuild capacity safely and sustainably
For women navigating midlife, perimenopause, hormone shifts, and high responsibility loads, this conversation offers both validation and strategy. When the nervous system doesn’t feel safe, hormones, sleep, blood sugar, and energy regulation become significantly harder.
Healing isn’t about doing more. It’s about building capacity.

If you’ve ever thought, “I’m exhausted, overstimulated, and intimacy feels like one more thing on my to-do list,” this episode is for you.
In today’s conversation, we’re finally talking about libido — honestly, openly, and without shame. So many women quietly wonder why they don’t feel like themselves anymore, especially after babies, during perimenopause, or in menopause. This episode is here to remind you: you are not broken — your body is communicating.
Cody is joined by Dr. Diane Mueller, a board-certified sexologist, national speaker, best-selling author, and podcast host who has worked with over 33,000 couples. Dr. Diane brings both science and compassion to a topic that’s often ignored in women’s health conversations.
Together, they explore how hormones, chronic stress, nervous system overload, and life transitions impact desire — and why low libido is not a personal failure, but a biological response. This is a girlfriend-to-girlfriend conversation designed to bring clarity, validation, and hope.
In this episode, they discuss:
•Why libido is often left out of the hormone conversation
•What it really means to feel “touched-out”
•How stress and exhaustion biologically suppress desire
•Why low libido doesn’t mean you don’t love your partner
•How shame and guilt disconnect women from intimacy
•Practical first steps to begin reconnecting with your body and desire
If you’ve been wondering where you went, you’re not alone. With the right support, intimacy and connection can feel accessible again.

In today’s episode of It’s Hertime, host Cody Sanders sits down with Priya Malani, Founder & CEO of Stash Wealth, for the honest, reassuring money conversation so many women have been craving — without the stress, shame, or overwhelm.
Money affects our nervous systems, hormones, relationships, energy, and sense of safety more than we often realize. Yet so many smart, capable women still feel anxious, behind, or unsure when it comes to finances. This episode is about changing that — together.
After becoming one of the youngest Vice Presidents at Merrill Lynch, Priya left Wall Street to help women and high-achieving professionals build wealth in a way that feels aligned, calm, and sustainable. In this conversation, she and Cody break down how to create financial confidence without sacrificing joy, lifestyle, or peace of mind.
If you’ve ever felt stressed about money, avoided looking at your bank account, worried about the future, or wished someone would just explain finances in a normal, supportive way — this episode is for you.
In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
•Why money stress quietly impacts hormones, energy, and mental health
•How to stop living paycheck to paycheck without feeling deprived
•What “living a life you can afford” really looks like in real life
•Simple credit card and saving strategies that actually work
•When renting may be smarter than buying
•How couples can communicate better about money
•Common financial mistakes women make — and how to avoid them
•How to start investing with confidence (even if you feel behind)
•What goal-based investing means and why it matters
•When it’s time to work with a financial advisor
Priya also shares how women can shift from fear and comparison around money to clarity, confidence, and trust — creating long-term stability for themselves and their families.
This is a conversation about feeling safe in your body, calm in your mind, and confident in your financial future.

Have you ever found yourself thinking:
“I’m eating well. I’m exercising. I’m trying so hard… so why does my body feel stuck?”
If you’ve been doing all the “right” things but still feel tired, inflamed, frustrated, or disconnected from your body — this episode is for you.
In today’s conversation, I’m joined by Katie Hardie, board-certified holistic nutritionist, performance psychology expert, and founder of My PEAK. Katie works with highly motivated, high-performing individuals — especially women — who are disciplined, committed, and quietly burning out.
Instead of telling women to push harder or try another plan, Katie helps them understand what their symptoms are actually communicating. Together, we talk about how to shift from fighting your body to listening to it — and how to respond in ways that restore energy, resilience, and trust.
This episode isn’t about doing more.
It’s about doing different — with clarity instead of guilt.
⸻
In this episode, we discuss:
•Why your body isn’t “failing” — it’s giving feedback
•The most common signals women ignore or normalize (and why that matters)
•Why disciplined, high-achieving women often hit a wall first
•How to tell if your body needs fuel, recovery, or nervous system regulation — not more discipline
•The difference between discipline and data (and how women get stuck in that loop)
•How to use functional testing as a guide — without fear or obsession
•Why recovery is essential for performance, not the opposite of it
•Where to start when you feel seen… but also overwhelmed
⸻
A reminder from this episode:
Your body isn’t broken.
It isn’t working against you.
It’s communicating — and when you learn how to listen, everything changes.
If this conversation resonated with you, consider sharing it with a friend who’s been pushing a little too hard — or leave a review so more women can find these conversations.

Episode Supporter: Mixhers Metabolic Balance
If this episode resonated and you’re realizing your body may need support, not more discipline, one simple place to start is blood sugar balance. When blood sugar is unstable, women often experience fatigue, cravings, stubborn weight, disrupted sleep, and that feeling of “my body just isn’t responding anymore.”
Mixhers Metabolic Balance was formulated specifically for women to support healthy blood sugar regulation, appetite signals, and metabolic function — without stimulants or harsh ingredients. I’ve seen and experienced firsthand how powerful it can be when women support their metabolism gently instead of pushing harder. Using Metabolic Balance daily has helped me lose 35lbs this past year!

If you’ve ever been told “your labs look fine” while you’re sitting there exhausted, foggy, bloated, anxious, or feeling nothing like yourself — this episode is for you.
Today on It’s Hertime, I’m joined by Dyna Vink, a certified Integrative Health Practitioner and founder of Holistic Nutrition Lifestyle, for a candid, eye-opening conversation about why so many midlife women fall through the cracks of conventional medicine — and what actually helps.
Dyna shares her own perimenopause wake-up call: the symptoms that blindsided her, the frustration of being dismissed by doctors, and the moment she realized this couldn’t just be stress or aging. Through functional medicine testing, she uncovered hidden root causes that standard labs missed — and rebuilt her energy, confidence, and health from the ground up.
This episode is validating, empowering, and packed with practical insight for any woman navigating perimenopause, midlife symptoms, or that unsettling feeling of “something is off, but no one can tell me why.”
⸻
In This Episode, We Cover:
•Why perimenopause hits high-achieving women especially hard
•The emotional toll of being told “everything is normal” when it clearly isn’t
•How traditional medicine falls short for midlife women
•What functional medicine does differently (and why it changes everything)
•The surprising role parasites can play in fatigue, gut issues, and hormone chaos
•Detox myths vs. realistic detox foundations that actually support hormones
•The gut–hormone–brain connection and why gut health is non-negotiable
•Why optimizing your health is not selfish — it’s a professional investment
•The very first step to take if you’re overwhelmed and don’t know where to start

If your workouts are leaving you exhausted instead of energized, this episode is for you.
In today’s episode of It’s Hertime, Cody sits down with Lauren Kleban, celebrity trainer and founder of LEKFIT, to unpack why traditional fitness culture often works against women’s hormones — especially in perimenopause, menopause, and high-stress seasons of life.
Lauren shares how overtraining, excessive HIIT, and chronic cardio can elevate cortisol, suppress thyroid function, disrupt blood sugar, and stall results — even when women are “doing everything right.”
Together, Cody and Lauren explore:
•Why women’s bodies need rhythm, recovery, and variety
•How lymphatic flow is a missing piece in hormone balance
•Why joyful, music-driven movement is actually one of the most powerful healing tools for women
•How to build a hormone-friendly weekly workout routine without burnout
This conversation is a permission slip to stop punishing your body — and start partnering with it.
LEKFIT isn’t about shrinking — it’s about feeling strong, sexy, confident, and at home in your body.
Lauren shares what she hopes women take away from her classes beyond physical results: self-trust, embodiment, and joy.

As women, we’ve been told that feeling exhausted, bloated, anxious, inflamed, or disconnected from our bodies is just part of life — or worse, something we need to hustle harder to fix.
More workouts.
More food restriction.
More rules.
More willpower.
But what if being a woman wasn’t supposed to feel like a full-time job?
In today’s episode, I’m having a heart-to-heart conversation with you — the kind you’d have with a close friend — about why so many women feel overwhelmed by their health, and how we can step into the new year with clarity, confidence, and calm instead of pressure and perfection.
This episode is about simplifying hormonal health, reconnecting to your body, and choosing alignment over burnout.
In this episode, we talk about:
•Why women feel overloaded by health advice — and why it’s not your fault
•How symptoms are messages, not failures
•The biggest mistake women make when trying to “fix” their hormones
•Why doing less (but doing it intentionally) often leads to better results
•How stress, under-fueling, and over-training quietly sabotage hormone balance
•What hormone-aligned living actually looks like in real life
The 4 Best Gifts You Can Give Your Hormones This Year:
1.Consistency over perfection — why small daily habits matter more than extremes
2.Nourishment, not restriction — eating to support blood sugar, metabolism, and hormones
3.Movement that supports your cycle and life stage — not punishes your body
4.Planned rest, joy, and creativity — because your nervous system needs it to heal
I also share why I’m being incredibly intentional this year about scheduling rest, creativity, and connection first — before life fills the calendar for me — and how you can do the same without guilt.
A Special Invitation
If you’re craving space to slow down, learn how your hormones actually work, and reconnect with yourself in a supportive, beautiful environment, I’d love to personally invite you to the Mixhers Retreat.
This retreat is designed for women navigating perimenopause, menopause, or midlife hormone shifts — especially those who feel stuck, frustrated, or unseen. We’ll focus on education, nourishment, movement, rest, and community — not restriction or overwhelm.
You don’t need more rules.
You need understanding, support, and space to reset.

Most women think bone loss is something that happens later — after menopause, after aging, after symptoms appear.
The truth? Bone loss can begin quietly in our 30s, long before we feel anything is wrong.
In this episode of It’s Hertime, Cody Sanders sits down with Dr. Simmi Chopra, a molecular biologist turned Ayurvedic practitioner, to uncover what women are rarely told about bone health — and why protecting your bones is a lifelong, whole-body conversation, not just a calcium checklist.
Dr. Chopra explains how hormones, digestion, stress, inflammation, and lifestyle choices all influence bone density, and how a holistic approach can help women support — and even rebuild — bone strength naturally.
If you’re in your 30s, 40s, or 50s and want to stay strong, mobile, and resilient for decades to come, this episode is for you.
In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
•Why bone loss can start earlier than most women realize
•How estrogen, progesterone, and stress hormones affect bone density
•Early warning signs and risk factors many women overlook
•Why calcium alone isn’t enough — and what supports true absorption
•The Ayurvedic concept of Asthi Dhatu (bone tissue) and why it matters
•How gut health and digestion influence bone strength
•The role of stress, inflammation, and detox in bone loss
•How movement and weight-bearing exercise support healthy bones

What if midlife wasn’t a slow fade — but a full-body awakening? In today’s episode of It’s Hertime, Cody Sanders sits down with health and fitness expert Terry Tateossian, founder of THOR: The House of Rose Retreats and Coaching, to explore a refreshingly powerful new narrative for women in their 40s, 50s, and beyond.
Terry’s story is extraordinary: after years of CEO burnout, emotional exhaustion, and confusing symptoms that began in her 30s, she was diagnosed with early perimenopause at just 37. Instead of spiraling, she transformed. Terry rebuilt her health from the inside out — shedding 80 pounds, healing her hormones, building muscle, restoring self-trust, and emerging stronger than ever.
In this conversation, Cody and Terry walk you through:
What You’ll Learn
•How to spot perimenopause early — including the subtle signs most women miss
•Why so many women are dismissed with “You’re too young for menopause symptoms”
•The 3 things to pay attention to if you think perimenopause has started
•How to advocate for yourself with better testing, tracking, and conversations with providers
•Why strength training—not cardio—is a hormonal superpower for women over 40
•The nutrition shifts that fuel better metabolism, energy, and muscle tone
•The truth about stress, sleep, recovery, and the midlife cortisol curve
•The emotional side of healing: breaking patterns, rebuilding trust, and choosing compassion
•Why midlife is an invitation to rebuild—not retreat

Emotional energy might be the missing link in your hormone story—and today, we’re diving straight into it.
In this powerful episode of It’s Hertime, Cody Sanders sits down with Harry Massey, Founder & CEO of Energy4Life, inventor of the GEM Wearable™, and creator of the GIST™ framework—a simple but profound emotional-regulation method built on Gratitude, Intention, Surrender, and Trust.
Harry’s story is extraordinary: after spending nearly a decade bedridden from a traumatic accident with no answers from traditional medicine, he rebuilt his vitality through bioenergetics, the physics-based science of how energy flows in the body. Today, his work is helping women understand the emotional–energetic side of hormone balance—something most wellness conversations completely miss.
Together, Cody and Harry unpack:
•How emotional energy directly impacts estrogen, progesterone, cortisol, and cycle health
•What “emotional coherence” means—and why your hormone symptoms may be emotional signals
•How the GEM Wearable™ detects emotional spikes in real time and helps women stop stress before it spirals
•Why emotional patterns like irritability, overwhelm, anxiety, and mood swings often appear during PMS, PCOS, and perimenopause
•How the GIST™ framework restores emotional balance and energetic flow
•Simple daily practices to regulate emotions and support hormone health
Practical Takeaways You Can Use Today
•A 3-step method to catch emotional triggers before they disrupt your hormones
•How breathwork, intention setting, and emotional awareness shift your stress response
•A daily GIST practice you can start in 60 seconds
•Why your hormones “listen” to your emotions—and how to use this to your advantage
Episode Inspiration
Your emotional energy isn’t separate from your biology—it shapes it. When you learn to regulate emotional spikes, set clear intentions, and trust your inner wisdom, your hormones follow.

In this Thanksgiving special of It’s Hertime, Cody Sanders explores one of the most powerful — yet underestimated — tools for women’s health and emotional well-being: gratitude. Gratitude is more than a mindset shift; it’s a proven wellness practice that supports hormonal balance, reduces stress hormones, improves nervous system regulation, and helps women feel grounded during busy or overwhelming seasons of life.
Cody shares personal reflections from her own journey — from the hormonal struggles that inspired her to create Mixhers Hertime over a decade ago, to the six-year rollercoaster of building Mixhers into a women’s wellness brand with heart, purpose, and impact. Through every challenge, gratitude became the anchor that helped her navigate stress, entrepreneurship, perimenopause, healing, and big life transitions.
In this warm, reflective episode, you’ll learn:
•How gratitude directly influences hormone health, including cortisol, serotonin, and oxytocin
•Why gratitude acts like “medicine” for women experiencing burnout, stress, overwhelm, or midlife hormonal shifts
•Simple gratitude rituals that support emotional regulation and balanced hormones
•How gratitude strengthens resilience during life’s unpredictable seasons
•A powerful guided gratitude meditation to help you feel abundant, centered, and supported
•Why gratitude is one of the most accessible wellness tools for women in perimenopause, menopause, postpartum, and beyond
This episode is a soul-soothing blend of science, spirituality, and real-life wisdom — the perfect way to ground yourself during the holidays or anytime life feels heavy.

In this eye-opening episode of It’s Hertime, Cody sits down with Functional Hormone Practitioner Elizabeth Katzman to uncover a silent struggle many women face after stopping hormonal birth control — what Elizabeth calls “The Pill Hangover.”
If you’ve ever stopped the pill expecting your body to bounce right back, only to face anxiety, weight gain, cycle changes, gut issues, or just a sense that something’s off, this conversation will help you understand why — and how to heal.
Elizabeth shares how hormonal birth control affects your body’s natural rhythm, nutrient stores, gut health, and mood regulation. You’ll learn what’s really happening beneath the surface, why doctors often miss it, and how to gently restore hormonal balance through nourishment, not restriction.
Together, Cody and Elizabeth explore:
What “The Pill Hangover” really means — and why it’s so common
How birth control impacts your hormones, gut, mood, and metabolism
Which nutrients are most depleted and how to replenish them
Why post-pill anxiety and irregular cycles are biological, not imagined
Root-cause strategies to restore balance and feel like yourself again
This episode is validating, hopeful, and full of practical takeaways for every woman — whether you’re thinking of stopping birth control, already have, or are simply ready to understand your body better.

Key Topics Covered
•The science behind post-pill hormone suppression
•Nutrient deficiencies caused by birth control

In today’s episode, we’re exploring a sacred and often-overlooked chapter of womanhood—the Pre-Conception Era. Whether motherhood is part of your story or not, this phase represents the powerful years where your body, hormones, and energy are preparing for what’s next.
Cody sits down with Anna Finck, a Wellness Architect and Lifestyle Designer who blends science and spirituality through her Embodied Wellness philosophy. Together, they unpack what it means to become an embodied woman—one who listens to her body, honors her rhythms, and reconnects to her own inner wisdom.
They discuss how to support your hormones, digestion, and vitality during the years before conception (or major life transformation), and why symptoms like fatigue, irregular cycles, or mood changes are messages—not malfunctions.
This conversation feels like a warm hug mixed with a biology class and a soul session all in one.
⸻
In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
•What the Pre-Conception Era really is—and why it’s one of the most transformative times in a woman’s life
•How to become an Embodied Woman by reconnecting to your body’s intelligence
•Why modern wellness needs both science and spirituality
•Daily practices and rituals that support your hormones and energy naturally
•How to decode your body’s signals instead of silencing them
•The link between embodiment, fertility, and personal evolution
⸻
Favorite Moments
•“We’ve been taught to override our bodies, but embodiment invites us to listen instead.”
•“Symptoms aren’t random—they’re invitations to deeper awareness.”
•“Pre-conception isn’t just about preparing for motherhood—it’s about preparing for your next evolution as a woman.”

What if your “mystery symptoms” weren’t random — but actually connected?
In today’s episode, Cody sits down with Dr. Diana Driscoll, an optometrist, researcher, inventor, and patient advocate who turned her own medical mystery into groundbreaking discoveries that are changing lives.
After years of struggling with unexplained dizziness, gut issues, fatigue, and “just anxiety” diagnoses, Dr. Driscoll uncovered key links between the vagus nerve, neurotransmitters, and the body’s stress response — and how they drive conditions like POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) and other “invisible illnesses.”
Together, Cody and Dr. Driscoll unpack:
•What POTS actually is (in real-world language).
•Why so many women are misdiagnosed or dismissed.
•The misunderstood role of the vagus nerve—and why “stimulating it” might not be the fix you think it is.
•How gut health, neurotransmitters, and the autonomic nervous system all connect.
•Why SIBO treatment often fails — and what her research discovered about healing it naturally.
•The powerful comeback story of her son, who went from years out of school to living a full, healthy life again.
•Practical steps for self-advocacy, testing, and finding real answers.
If you’ve ever felt dismissed, dizzy, or defeated by your symptoms, this conversation will bring clarity and hope. You’ll walk away with a new understanding of your body—and a reminder that you’re not broken, you’re just waiting to be understood.

Ladies, let’s be real—we’ve all had those moments standing in front of the mirror thinking, “If I could just fix this one thing, then I’d feel beautiful.” But here’s the truth: no serum, facial, or filler will ever create a lasting glow if the voice in your head is full of self-criticism.
In today’s empowering conversation, I’m joined by Sandra Lena Silverman—author of From BS to Botox: A Rebel’s Guide to Self-Love and Eternal Youth and the unapologetic, bold voice behind an Instagram community of over 250k women. Sandra is a life coach, speaker, and truth-teller who’s flipping the beauty script—reminding us that self-love and mindset matter just as much (if not more) than skincare and beauty products.
Together, we’re exploring:
✨ Why so many women chase products but skip the mindset work
✨ How healing past trauma can transform how you see yourself in the mirror
✨ The difference between empowering beauty rituals vs. covering up pain
✨ Sandra’s own “rebel self-care routine” that blends Botox and self-love
✨ Practical mindset practices to stop self-criticism and start glowing from within
This episode will make you laugh, nod along, and maybe even rethink the way you look at your reflection. Sandra’s honesty is refreshing, and her message is clear: you don’t have to choose between outer beauty and inner healing—you deserve both.
📚 Grab Sandra’s book From BS to Botox and connect with her on Instagram @sandralenasilverman for daily doses of truth, humor, and empowerment.
💡 If you’ve ever wondered how to feel radiant without chasing perfection, this conversation is your reminder: true transformation starts with how you speak to yourself.

Motherhood is beautiful, but let’s be honest—it can also feel relentless. Between endless to-dos, stress, and hormonal shifts, it’s easy for moms to put themselves last. But what if the key to thriving in motherhood is learning to tend to yourself first?
In this inspiring conversation, Cody sits down with Holly Swenson—award-winning author, wellness blogger, and mom of four—to talk about why self-care is anything but selfish. Holly shares her story of raising her four “gurus,” practical tools for bringing gentility and balance into everyday parenting, and how caring for your own wellness impacts your hormones, relationships, and family life.
You’ll learn:
Why “tending to yourself” is the foundation for thriving, not just surviving
How stress disrupts hormones—and what you can do about it
Practical ways to balance parenting with grace and gentility
The power of modeling wellness for your kids (without aiming for perfection)
How small, consistent steps toward self-care ripple into every area of your life
This episode is a beautiful reminder that when moms care for themselves, everyone benefits.
⸻
Key Takeaways
•Your hormones respond directly to how you care for yourself.
•Stress management is not optional—it’s a root-cause solution for hormonal harmony.
•Thriving in motherhood means shifting from perfectionism to gentility.
•Modeling wellness is more powerful than preaching it.

What if healthcare wasn’t about managing symptoms—but about unlocking your body’s full potential?
In this powerful episode of It’s Hertime, Cody sits down with Dr. Aleksandra Gajer, a board-certified physician and expert in hormone balance, metabolic health, and performance medicine. Dr. Gajer is the founder of The Gajer Practice and a contributing author to Triumphs of Transformation. Her mission is clear: to give women the personalized, science-backed care they deserve.
Together, Cody and Dr. Gajer explore:
•Why so many women are dismissed or reduced to “normal” lab ranges—and how performance medicine flips that model.
•What personalized protocols actually look like in practice and why they’re more effective than one-size-fits-all solutions.
•How optimized health goes beyond symptom relief—restoring energy, sleep, cognition, and confidence.
•The blind spots high-achieving and midlife women often miss in their own health journeys.
•What the future of women’s healthcare looks like when personalization, partnership, and empowerment lead the way.
Whether you’re in midlife burnout, navigating hormonal shifts, or simply refusing to settle for feeling “just okay,” this episode will remind you: you are not broken, and you are not imagining your symptoms. There is another way forward—and it’s personalized.

In this episode of It’s Hertime, I’m joined by the amazing Jessica Frew—speaker, podcaster, and author of the upcoming book Shove Your Shoulds. Together, we dive into how hormonal changes across your cycle literally reshape your brain week by week, and how tuning into those shifts can help you trust yourself, silence the “shoulds,” and start making decisions that truly align with who you are.
We’ll walk through each phase of the cycle—menstrual, follicular, ovulatory, and luteal—unpacking the unique decision-making strengths of each one. Jessica shares her own stories of clarity, courage, and timing, and I’ll give you the science-backed roadmap for syncing your decisions with your body’s natural rhythm.
If you’ve ever felt stuck, second-guessed yourself, or pushed through choices at the wrong time, this episode will help you flip the script. Your cycle isn’t a burden—it’s a built-in decision-making superpower.
In This Episode You’ll Learn:
•Why your brain changes every week of your cycle
•How to use each phase of your cycle for specific decision-making strengths
•Real-life stories of syncing bold decisions with hormonal rhythms
•How to start tracking your own cycle for clarity and confidence
•Why letting go of “shoulds” creates space for authentic, empowered choices
Jessica’s message is powerful: you don’t need to wait to feel brave—you can start now by trusting your gut and working with your cycle.
✨ Jessica’s book, Shove Your Shoulds, is out this September—don’t miss the chance to preorder!

So many women struggle with thyroid issues—and yet these conditions are still misunderstood, underdiagnosed, and often mistreated. Fatigue, weight changes, anxiety, brain fog, heart palpitations—these symptoms are brushed off or medicated without ever asking the most important question: why is this happening?
In this empowering episode, I sit down with Dr. Eric Osansky, functional medicine practitioner, author, and host of the Save My Thyroid podcast. After achieving remission from Graves’ disease himself, Dr. Osansky has devoted his life to helping others heal thyroid and autoimmune conditions naturally—by addressing root causes, not just symptoms.
Together, we dive into:
•Why autoimmune thyroid dysfunction is so often missed or misunderstood
•The biggest root causes and triggers behind Graves’ and Hashimoto’s—and why that distinction matters
•Functional and natural approaches that support real thyroid healing
•The crucial roles of gut and liver health in reversing autoimmunity
•Myths, mistakes, and the most important labs to request if you suspect thyroid issues
•The message every woman with a thyroid condition needs to hear
This conversation is about reclaiming your power, your health, and your life. If you’ve ever been told your thyroid is “just fine” when you know something is off—or if you’ve been left feeling hopeless after a diagnosis—this episode will give you the clarity, tools, and hope you’ve been waiting for.

What if the fertility challenges you’ve faced weren’t a sign your body is broken—but instead, a brilliantly protective mechanism asking for deeper care?
If you or someone you love has experienced the emotional highs and lows of trying to conceive, you know it can feel overwhelming, clinical, and sometimes even hopeless. But when we shift the perspective from “fixing what’s wrong” to “supporting what’s wise,” everything changes.

•The limitations of conventional fertility approaches and why IVF isn’t the only path forward
•What holistic fertility support really looks like (and how it differs from what most of us are offered)
•Common myths about fertility that every woman needs to know
•How to improve egg and sperm health starting today
•The emotional and mindset shifts that help women reconnect to their body’s innate wisdom
•The role of technology in making fertility tracking more intuitive and empowering
•Why healthier pregnancies create ripple effects for families, communities, and the planet

In this powerful episode of It’s Hertime, Cody is joined by Dr. Lindsay Calcutt, a biomedical engineer who’s changing the future of health tech by designing it around the female experience. As the innovative mind behind Incora Health, Dr. Calcutt is breaking through the gender data gap and building the next generation of wearable technology—finally made for women’s real rhythms.

•The role of biofeedback in understanding hormones, stress, sleep, and perimenopause
•How personalized data empowers you to self-advocate, ask better questions, and feel more connected to your body

Are your hormones working against you—or are you just working with them in the wrong order?
In this powerful episode of the It's Hertime podcast, I am joined by Becca Chilczenkowski—a weight loss resistance expert and the founder of FitMom™, a top functional health practice helping women uncover the real root causes of their hormone struggles. Becca is also the co-host of The Health Revival Show, a Top 100 podcast in alternative health.

We cover:
•The biggest mistakes women make when trying to balance hormones
•Why thyroid labs often look “normal” but you still feel exhausted, puffy, and stuck
•The truth about adrenal fatigue—is it real or a myth?
•Why perimenopause feels like your body is betraying you—and what to do instead
•The hidden role of cortisol resistance in weight loss resistance
•How HRT and birth control can help or harm—depending on timing and strategy
•The GLP-1 drug debate: Are Ozempic & Wegovy miracle solutions or metabolic setbacks?
•Why more women are struggling with hormone imbalance, PCOS, low libido, and burnout than ever before
•The first step to take when you’re completely overwhelmed by symptoms
This is an essential listen for any woman navigating midlife, perimenopause, hormone imbalance, or weight loss resistance. Becca brings real talk, functional insights, and years of experience helping women get their bodies back on their side.

Do you feel constantly overwhelmed, anxious, or exhausted—no matter how healthy you try to be? Your nervous system could be the missing piece in your hormone and metabolism puzzle.
In this episode of It’s Hertime, I sit down with Leanna Hunt to uncover the hidden ways stress sabotages your hormones, metabolism, and overall well-being—and what you can do to restore balance.

How chronic stress leads to hormone imbalances, weight gain, and burnout

How to shift out of “fight-or-flight” mode and activate your body’s natural healing state
Practical nutrition, supplement, and lifestyle strategies to build stress resilience

She is also a certified performance coach and has worked with clients all over the US.

Did you know that having regular, natural menstrual cycles is one of the biggest predictors of a longer, healthier life? Research from the Nurses' Health Study shows that women with a longer reproductive lifespan—meaning more years spent ovulating naturally—have a significantly lower risk of heart disease, dementia, osteoporosis, and breast cancer.
And the secret behind it all? Progesterone. This essential hormone is only produced when you ovulate, and it plays a crucial role in protecting your brain, bones, and metabolism. But here’s the problem—millions of women struggle with irregular periods, anovulation, and hormonal imbalances, often without even realizing what’s at stake for their long-term health.
In this episode of It’s Hertime, we’re breaking down:
✨ Why each ovulatory cycle is like a "deposit" into your health savings account
✨ How birth control "fixes" irregular cycles—but at a major cost to your health
✨ Why insulin resistance is a hidden culprit behind ovulation problems (and what to do about it!)
✨ Natural ways to support regular ovulation, banish period problems, and balance hormones—without synthetic hormones or band-aid solutions
🎙 Plus, we’re diving into real-life stories of women who transformed their health by getting to the root cause of their irregular cycles.
💖 Want to work with your hormones instead of against them? Then don’t miss this conversation!

Insulin resistance is frequently a silent contributor to a number of widespread chronic health conditions, including Alzheimer’s, obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. In fact, a startling 88% of adults experience some degree of insulin resistance. The condition is both pervasive yet easy to miss, making it that much more critical a topic to address.
On today's episode, Cody has invited Dr. Morgan Nolte to discuss why changes to our diet, lifestyle, and mindset are key to reversing the condition, and why the end goal isn’t simply weight loss, but rather body recomposition and long-term behavior change.
DR. MORGAN NOLTE is a board-certified clinical specialist in geriatric physical therapy. Recognizing a lack of preventative education and care that focused on reversing risk factors instead of just treating symptoms, Dr. Nolte founded Zivli, an online course and coaching program that helps adults reverse insulin resistance for long-term weight loss and disease prevention.
Dr. Nolte’s content has reached millions of people through her podcast and YouTube channel, which now has over 100,000 subscribers. She’s been a guest lecturer for local physical therapy departments, State and National Physical Therapy Organizations, and has been a guest addressing insulin resistance on top-rated wellness podcasts including Everyday Wellness with Cynthia Thurlow, The Ultimate Health Podcast, and the Dhru Purohit Show.

If you had to name one of your biggest health fears, would breast cancer be top of your list? Public health campaigns have put this important health issue on our radar and obviously that’s a good thing. Because according to the American Cancer Society, breast cancer is diagnosed in 1 in 7 women. If you gather a small group of your girlfriends, someone is going to get it. It is real.
Yet, when we talk about this concerning disease, the focus is often on detection (think mammograms) and treatment (think mastectomies). And, in my opinion, far too little is said about prevention.
What about you? Are you in the know? How clued up are with knowing about the best lifestyle habits to reduce your breast cancer risk?
In this episode, Cody shares what science is saying, what she has experienced through working with dozens of women with breast cancer diagnosis, as well as from personal experience through breast cancer scares and from supporting her sister who has been living with a stage 4 breast cancer diagnosis for over 20 years.
To help prevent breast cancer, it’s important to recognize the links between elevated hormones and ill health. This is particularly true for estrogen.

On today's episode, Cody has invited guest Nicki Williams to the conversation about the importance of aging gracefully and how fitness and food intake play a crucial role in this process.
Amy, a qualified pharmacist and fitness expert, believes that about 90% of aging gracefully comes down to our choices regarding fitness and nutrition. While both fitness and nutrition are important, Amy suggests that nutrition holds a more significant impact, accounting for about 80% of the equation. Fitness, on the other hand, is like the cherry on top. As we age, preserving and building muscle becomes crucial for maintaining independence and avoiding the need for assisted living. Amy highlights the importance of incorporating regular exercise and focusing on muscle-building to age backward and lead healthier lives.

With the right advice for your body and the unique drivers of your PCOS, you can take back control of your hormonal health.
Having suffered from PCOS herself, Cody has worked with countless clients to dramatically improve their PCOS symptoms, she prepared this episode as kind of a PCOS Survival Guide for each of us to take the confusion and overwhelm out of navigating this complex condition.

Did you know that the birth rate is falling in many countries, and around a third of couples have some kind of trouble conceiving. So what’s causing this decline? Is it really down to rogue chemicals wreaking havoc with our hormones? And how worried should we be?
Endocrine disrupting chemicals can lead to many different reproductive health and fertility issues, as well as other forms of health issues. As is talked about in this episode, EDCs can contribute to endometriosis, they can worsen symptoms of PCOS, and they absolutely negatively impact male fertility as well.
Endocrine disruptors are found in what seems like everything — they are in the plastic bottles we drink from, in our favorite cosmetics, and in the cleaning products that promise a sparkling home. They're more common than we are aware of and what we'd like to believe.
In this episode, Cody talks about the top things we all should know about endocrine disruptors and fertility.

Immersing ourselves into very cold or nearly freezing water might be the absolute last thing any of us would ever choose to do, but it can be worth it — considering it's a habit that's linked to many health benefits, such as a boost in metabolism and circulation and it can significantly reduce pain and inflammation in the body.
Because of the benefits and after many years of implementing it into her own wellness routine, Cody encourages most everyone to take advantage of it. But, as she encourages us to try cold-plunging, she also shares how to make the most of the benefits and how to avoid the disadvantages that affect us as women. There are special considerations to keep in mind for us, because of our unique hormonal cycles and our reproductive health.
If we can understand how to integrate cold plunges into our monthly menstrual cycle we can maximize the benefits and avoid potential drawbacks, things like worsened cramps, for example.
In this episode, Cody helps us explore the science behind cold immersion for women, potential cold plunge benefits, and shares advice for all of the different stages of our menstrual cycle, as well as considerations for those who are pregnant, or trying to become pregnant, and even those of us who are using hormone replacement therapy.

Imagine if your brain changed every week. For women, this isn't science fiction - it's reality!
Did you know that estrogen and progesterone are powerful neurochemicals that significantly change female brain physiology, mood, and cognition as they ebb and flow throughout the month?
That's right...four different brains, four different realities, every singe month!
In this episode, Cody and her guest Ashleigh DiLello talk us through what is happening with the brain during each of the four phases of our monthly cycle.
We learn about how this monthly brain cycle affects every aspect of a woman's life, yet remains largely ignored by mainstream medicine. Ignoring this fact means misunderstanding half of humanity's mental health and cognitive potential.
Tune in to learn more about the female brain and all of it's amazing intricacies.

In this episode, Cody and her guest Jen St. Clair explore the root causes of low serotonin, and how how that is connected to mood disorders. They also talk about how important it is to take a deep look into your health history to see all that can be contributing.

Low estrogen levels can be the cause of hot flashes, missing periods, vaginal dryness, joint pain, and many other symptoms. In this episode, Cody talks about the cause of low estrogen, so that we can make sure we are getting the right treatment.
Low estrogen is most often associated with menopause, but it can happen throughout your lifetime due to lots of factors. Sometimes, the signs and symptoms of low estrogen are subtle and so they get passed off as other possible causes, so knowing what to look for can make it easier for each of us ladies to get the support we need to feel better.

We all have different sex drives, so what’s “normal” for you may not be for your best friend. Sexual desire can change daily, weekly, monthly, or even hourly.
Sexual desire is complex, and what turns you on is so individualized. Add stress, sleep disruption, and feeling connected to a partner in the mix, and there’s no single predictor of desire for anyone. But one thing is clear: your sex hormones play a huge role in helping—or keeping you from—getting in the mood.
Given that sex hormones shift throughout your cycle, it’s no wonder there are certain times of the month when you may feel more easily turned on and other times when your libido feels flatlined. On today’s episode, Cody shares with us, all we need to know about sexual desire, the menstrual cycle, and how our hormones influence both.

Insomnia and sleep problems are a major issue in our culture, but did you know that women are more likely to experience poor sleep than men? The changes in female hormones through the menstrual cycle influence sleep patterns and may explain why sleep becomes more challenging for many women before or during their period.
Moreover, those with premenstrual syndrome (PMS) or premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) may be even more likely to experience PMS insomnia, fragmented sleep, and reduced sleep quality due to changes in hormone levels.
On today’s episode, Cody will unpack the connections between the menstrual cycle, hormone health, and sleep. Plus, She’ll offer tips for improving sleep quality before and during your period.

There’s tons of research that shows that backs this up. A healthy breakfast sets the stage for hormone balance throughout the day, which is critical for women at all stages of life.
On today's episode, Cody goes into it all. She talks about how to choose a hormone-loving breakfast and how to avoid breakfasts that are not supportive of our hormonal health.
As is the case with most nutrition topics, we hear a lot of different opinions. Thoughts on breakfast, are no exception. Some say breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Others say to skip or delay breakfast for intermittent fasting benefits.
Food companies promote quick, easy breakfasts like premade shakes, bars, and cereals. But as we'll get into, eating these types of meals as part of your daily diet can do more harm than good to your hormones.
Let’s get to the bottom of the breakfast debate and learn why switching up your breakfast routine might be the best thing you can do for your hormones!

So, if you're asking yourself, “how much protein should I have a day”, you'll want to tune into Cody's deep dive on women and protein. This episode will guide you on the ideal daily protein intake for you to:
- Optimize your hormone levels
- Improve your muscle mass and support your ideal body composition

Toxic thoughts, depression, anxiety-our mental mess is frequently aggravated by a chaotic world and sustained by an inability to manage our runaway thoughts. But we shouldn't settle into this mental mess as if it's just our new normal. There's hope and help available to us, and the road to healthier thoughts and peak happiness may actually be shorter than you think.
On today's episode Cody has invited the amazing, Dr. Caroline Leaf to be her guest.
Today you will learn:
- 5 steps that can help reduce anxiety and depression by up to 81% according to clinical studies
- How science can help us transition from being aware of toxic thoughts to catching and managing them in their early stages
- How to capitalize on directed neuroplasticity using the Neurocycle
- To apply mind management to unwire toxic habits and trauma
- How to leverage the lessons in the book for their daily lifestyle, including connection, brain-building, sleep, diet, exercise, people-pleasing, toxic perfectionism, overthinking, toxic emails and texts
- Why mindfulness is not enough and how strategic mind management through the 5 steps can take a reader beyond mindfulness
Dr. Caroline Leaf is a communication pathologist, audiologist, clinical and research neuroscientist with a Masters and PhD in Communication Pathology and a BSc Logopaedics, specializing in psychoneurobiology and metacognitive neuropsychology. Since the early 1980s she has researched the mind-brain connection, the nature of mental health, and the formation of memory. She was one of the first in her field to study how the brain can change (neuroplasticity) with directed mind input.
During her years in clinical practice and her work with thousands of underprivileged teachers and students in her home country of South Africa and in the USA, she developed her theory (called the Geodesic Information Processing theory) of how we think, build memory, and learn, into tools and processes that have transformed the lives of hundreds of thousands of individuals with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE), learning disabilities (ADD, ADHD), autism, dementias and mental ill-health issues like anxiety and depression. She has helped hundreds of thousands of students and adults learn how to use their mind to detox and grow their brain to succeed in every area of their lives, including school, university, and the workplace.

What does it mean to "age gracefully"? We want a future in which our lifespan is balanced with an extended healthspan, reduced illness, and age-related ailments to spend time with loved ones and maintain our independence well into our golden years.
In this episode, Cody and Dr. Mani Kukreja talk about how people of the same age can be so vastly different from one another regarding outcomes like energy levels, immunity, memory, productivity, functionality, personality, and especially physical appearance.
It starts by understanding “Agers,” or factors that affect how and when your body ages.
With simple interventions combined with powerful tools like ozone therapy, personalized supplementation, photomodulation, stem cell therapy, laser therapies, plasma-rich protein, hormone, and peptide therapy, we can decelerate cellular aging and supercharge our body’s ability to heal and rejuvenate.
Longevity is great, but longevity without vitality, immunity, a healthy mindset - well, that’s not so great!
Ultimately, we are not immortal, and eventually, we will all die. However, if we make the right choices, we can get many more vigorous and youthful years out of our life.
Dr. Mani Kukreja, is an integrative health expert and founder of LivAgeWell who helps clients optimize gut health, immunity, and healthy aging.
A few highlights on Mani:
* MD and MPH focused on integrative wellness and lifestyle medicine
* Influencer, biohacker and health advocate dedicated to sustainable living
* Has published extensively on clinical health research
* Passionate about educating people on topics like anti-aging, skin health supplements, etc.
Mani provides science-based yet accessible perspectives on:
* General wellness, anti-aging, skin health, supplement use
* Causes of aging and chronic disease risk factors
* Lifestyle measures to extend healthspan and lifespan
* Her upcoming book "Live More, Age Less"

Are you living in a fog? Does your brain feel tired, and even everyday tasks are challenging because your brain isn’t cooperating with focus, thinking, and memory?
Brain fog is a common (but shouldn’t be considered a normal) symptom for women, especially during hormonal changes or with hormonal imbalances, as hormones play a vital role in brain health and function.
While a lot of the research on brain health has been done on men; it’s only recently that we are learning about the connection between female hormones and brain symptoms like brain fog.
In this episode, Cody covers the ins and outs of brain fog relating to the menstrual cycle and female hormones. She walks us through how to clear brain fog, naturally and effectively. Whether we are in menopause or if we are pregnant, or somewhere in between, she has got us covered.

It seems like the “easiest” ways to lose weight today involve the use of medications, which can come with a range of side effects as you lose weight. For women who want to take a more natural approach to weight loss, there are ways to improve insulin sensitivity, balance hormones, and regulate blood sugar levels without medication.
A Holistic Health approach takes into account the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—when addressing any type of health concern. For weight loss specifically, it focuses on improving overall health and balance rather than just targeting weight loss.
In this episode, Cody explores with us about how we can achieve the effects of popular weight loss drugs to help us lose weight, balance our hormones, and target the underlying factors contributing to weight gain using natural alternatives to these medications to help us achieve sustainable weight loss.
We know this is an episode many of you have said you have been waiting for. We can't wait to hear what you think!

When you hear the word ‘intimacy,’ it’s likely that something like sex pops into your head. While intimacy is commonly used in the context of making love, this only describes one aspect of it. Intimacy occurs not only between lovers, but also in friendships and in other platonic relationships. It can describe closeness on an emotional, physical, sexual, spiritual, or platonic level.
On today's episode, Cody has invited Monica Tanner to join her in a discussion exploring the different types of intimacy and discussing how you can improve in each area with your partner, friend, or someone else in your life.

So many women struggle feeling their best every day of the month, because they don't realize that symptoms that come along with hormone imbalance, like cramps, bloating, moodiness, pain, acne, etc. are negotiable. That's right, just because we women, doesn't mean we are meant to suffer when it's that time of the month or when it is a certain time of our life, like postpartum or perimenopause or menopause.
On today's episode, Cody recorded a live session with real life Hertime customers who shared their questions about Hertime. What is Hertime? Who should use Hertime? How do I use it to effectively say goodbye to hormonal havoc for good?
Hertime is a nutritional supplement that helps balance hormones as it is taken daily. For women searching for PMS relief, Hertime is the most enjoyable, effective, long-term solution among PMS solutions, because the ingredients nourish the root cause of hormonal imbalance through delicious and high-absorption delivery, and eliminate the need for additional PMS aids. No matter the phase of your cycle, Hertime supports your health by keeping your hormones in check.

Today, Cody takes us on a deep dive into collagen - the benefits of collagen, the best kind of collagen, and how it connects with our hormonal health.

We live in a “diet” culture. Quick quiz: how many diets can you name off the top of your head right now? The average answer from women is at least 5.
No matter what type of diet you are influenced to try, the fact is that how much and what you eat directly impact your hormones.
Today, Cody has invited Kaely McDevitt to join her for a discussion to break down which hormones are impacted when we cut calories and to provide a few strategies for keeping our hormones as happy and healthy as possible when we have a weight loss goal.

Endometriosis is a common health issue affecting women—one in ten women have it! And I would say that probably ten out of ten women have been dismissed by their doctor at some point in their journey. Because typically, you go to your doctor with signs and symptoms of endometriosis, and the first thing you're told is, “Oh, here, just take the pill. Here's a painkiller; periods are meant to be painful and that's just the way it is.” In this episode, we’re going to talk about the symptoms of endometriosis and some strategies to help you get the care you need.
Many women go for years struggling because doctors dismiss their symptoms and try to suppress them with medications—without getting to the root cause. Sometimes doctors have to use some form of hormonal contraceptive to treat a woman with symptoms of endometriosis, but that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t ask why she has these symptoms.
On today's episode, Cody goes into a deep dive about the what, why and how when it comes to understanding Endometriosis.

There are some crazy facts out there about women's health that you might be shocked about. For instance, did you know that it was only in 2015 when the NIH required medical investigators to consider sex as a biological variable?
In this episode, Cody invites Jess Toolson and Sine Bentley to join in on this conversation about current stats on women and their reproductive health, those that are experiencing Endometriosis, ovarian cancer, as well as how the medical world treats women's heart health and pain management.
We want to break down the barriers that women face in healthcare by giving you a greater understanding of your own health. We want to empower women, so they feel more in control over their own health and have the confidence to seek medical help if problems arise.
There needs to be more resources and guidance to improve diagnostic criteria and time, understanding of disease pathologies, and medical outcomes. We have to build awareness and trust, to empower women to talk to their doctor when they feel something isn’t quite right. GPs also need to receive greater training on female specific problems, so women are diagnosed earlier, and their health concerns are taken seriously and not dismissed or marginalized.

It is surprising that for as long as we've had birth control available to women there is still so much we don't know about how it impacts our body, our relationships, and our overall life.
You may be familiar with some of the side effects of hormonal birth control, like depression, blood clots, and weight gain. You might also know that birth control pills, which are often prescribed for things other than contraception—like irregular periods or acne—aren’t the best solution for managing symptoms. In fact, the pill ultimately makes symptoms like acne worse. But hormonal birth control has other, more far-reaching consequences…Specifically, taking the pill can wreak havoc on your love life. We know that probably sounds far out or completely made up, but the idea that hormonal birth control has real consequences for your love life comes directly from scientific research, that is what Cody is going to dive into with us today.

Did you know that the products you're using on your body can be wreaking havoc on your hormones? While it’s hard to believe that conventional beauty companies would ever include toxic ingredients in their products, the fact is that they do—it’s still common practice and perfectly legal. To give you an idea of where we are, consider that there are 11 cosmetic ingredients currently banned by the FDA, while in the EU, over 1,300 ingredients are banned. Companies operating in the US face much less stringent regulations than companies operating in the EU do, so US companies continue to pack the products that we use every day (mascara, face wash, conditioner, make up and more) with potentially harmful ingredients that can include known carcinogens, irritants, and endocrine disruptors.
On today's episode Cody has invited special guest and expert on clean beauty, Mindy Mackenzie. Mindy currently serves as CEO of Beautycounter, a mission-driven clean beauty company. Prior to Beautycounter, she was Partner & Chief Performance Officer for The Carlyle Group, a global investment firm with over $382 billion in assets. Prior to joining Carlyle in 2017, Ms. Mackenzie was founder and principal of her own firm focused on advising CEOs and thriving leaders on how to unlock and accelerate performance. In addition to serving as Senior Advisor at McKinsey & Company, she served as global head of strategy, M&A and human resources at liquor giant Jim Beam, and earlier in her career lived and worked internationally for Campbell Soup Company and Walmart Stores, Inc. in senior human capital leadership roles. Ms. Mackenzie is the author of the 2016 WSJ bestseller The Courage Solution: The Power of Truth Telling With Your Boss, Peers, and Team. Ms. Mackenzei currently serves as a director on the board of public telecommunications company CommScope (COMM) and privately held clean skincare and cosmetics brand Beautycounter.

Join Cody and Jess as they welcome guests Kass and Emily of "Little Bit's of Awesome" Podcast...and a LIVE studio audience! So fun!
Together, they take questions from you, and from the live audience members to discuss how to set ourselves up for success in reaching our most important goals this year by focusing on our routines rather than just resolutions. The questions were amazing and the answers were fun and inspiring. As you know, the biggest benefit of focusing on creating routines and healthy habits, instead of simply setting resolutions, is that habits become automatic once they're practiced enough. But, in this episode these ladies take us beyond the typical tips. They break it down for us on how to really determine what goals matter most to us, how to feel our why and they share what the true secret sauce is to staying motivated all the way to the end goal.
We love our guests!:
Kass Martin and Emily Engemann are sisters and best friends who have made a decision to live life to the fullest and they love helping others do the same! They are wives, moms, fitness instructors, entrepreneurs, podcasters, friends and professional deal finders. They love connecting with others. People are their passion! Their education is from the school of hard knocks, they have a colorful upbringing and they (just like you I’m sure) have been through the ringer of life but…they know that happiness is up to them. So they wake up each day choosing happiness. Doing their best and then choosing it again and again.

Breast implant illness is starting to gain attention in the medical community. Breast implant illness (BII) is the term used to describe symptoms associated with breast implants and can range from joint pain, skin rashes, hair loss, and headaches to chronic fatigue, anxiety, neurological issues, brain fog and hormone imbalance.
In this episode, Cody shares about her own personal story about Breast Implant Illness and her explant surgery a year ago. She has invited the surgeon that she leaned on to guide her on how to prepare to have her breast implants removed and how to set herself up for success after the surgery. His name is Dr. Rob.
Robert Whitfield "Dr. Rob" is known as the Breast Implant Expert". He has been a plastic surgeon for 26 years and board-certified for over 16 years. He specializes in Breast Implant Illness (BII), breast implant removal surgery and advanced cosmetic procedures.
In addition to his exceptional work as a surgeon, Dr. Rob is a sought-after provider for his Breast Implant Illness Program (HARP). The protocols of HARP help to reduce systemic inflammation and assist patients who are both preparing or recovering from surgery. Dr. Rob's skills dovetail into a perfect balance of art and science and provide hope to scores of women looking to restore their health after BII.
Throughout the episode, Cody and Dr. Whitfield dive into how Breast Implant Illness starts in the body, and how it is first detected. They highlight how important it is to take a look into one's own genetics first before making any decision of having implants, especially if the person's genes does not permit it to detoxify huge amounts of toxins, which was the case for Cody.
Some of the topics they discuss are:
- How foreign bodies (implants of any kind) trigger inflammation
- Things that Make the Body Capable of Handling Inflammation
- Hormonal metabolism and estrogen dominance
- Ways Implants Get Contaminated
- Explant Procedures, and why they are needed
- Minimizing the Inflammatory State during preparation and the explant operation proper

When it comes to creating a sustainable, healthy lifestyle consistency is key. It’s the actions you take MOST of the time that creates lasting results. But you probably know this, right?
We know eating well and moving our body is important but we’re struggling with how to make it last.
if you're feeling like this, don’t worry, you’re not alone. In fact, we would say that the biggest pain point we hear from women like you, is the lack of being able to stay consistent. We all have a desire to live a healthy lifestyle or may even set achievable goals for ourselves, but something is still missing. We can't still can’t seem to make our habits stick. We feel like we’re constantly falling off track, which leaves us feeling defeated, discouraged and then we lack the motivation to start living a healthy lifestyle again.
So what’s this missing piece? Well, despite what you may think, it’s not willpower or lack of discipline. Nope! Actually, the missing piece to staying consistent with your healthy lifestyle is on a much deeper level….It is your “WHY”.
Join Cody in this conversation and establish YOUR why and help you stay consistent with your health and wellness goals.

The gut, brain and skin may seem like three completely separate organs, but research shows they are intricately connected. In fact research on the gut-brain-skin connection has shown that poor gut health has been associated with a wide range of inflammatory skin conditions, including acne, rosacea, and psoriasis as well as mind and mood conditions, including anxiety and depression.
On today's episode, Cody has invited Maria Marlowe to help us take a closer look at the gut-brain-skin connection and ways to improve digestion for healthy, balanced moods and clear skin.
Maria Marlowe is a Certified Holistic Nutritionist specializing in acne and Founder of Kuma, a science-backed ingestible skincare company on a mission to revolutionize how people think about skincare: from outside-only to inside-out!

Nothing is more frustrating than making lifestyle changes to support your health and lose a little weight, only to find that nothing changes despite your efforts. Everywhere you look, new fad diets, shots or workout programs seem to bring about dramatic transformations. So why don't they work for you?
It may be related to a hormone imbalance.
On today's episode, Cody is going to talk about how to fix the hormones that control your weight. The dirty little secret of the billion-dollar weight loss industry is that despite what you've heard, eating less and moving more isn't always the key to weight loss success. And a lot of the time, the more you try to restrict or over-exercise, the worse things can get. While it’s true that some people’s weight loss does require a caloric deficit, achieving it is much easier said than done, especially when hormones are out of balance.
If this sounds familiar, it's time to look at the possibility that a hormonal imbalance is contributing to your weight loss resistance. And it is certainly time for the arm chair (or weight bench) medical experts to calm down with their shame and blame tactics because when it comes to women’s metabolic health and body composition—hormones are everything.

Our nervous systems have been through a lot, whether we realize it or not! Many have been perpetually operating with high-stress levels due to work stress, health problems, financial struggles, or other pandemic-induced challenges. This, as you can imagine, really takes a toll on your overall well-being and can result in a dysregulated nervous system.
On today's episode, Cody has invited guest Kymber Maulden to explain to all of us about how the nervous system becomes unbalanced, signs to look out for, and actionable tips to help reinstate a sense of peace and calm in the body.
Kymber Maulden is a nutrition consultant and somatic women's health coach who takes a trauma-informed approach to women's health. Alongside nutrition, she integrates somatic parts work, attachment coaching, NARM principles for addressing CPTSD, and applied neurology for nervous system regulation so as to offer women a well-rounded and deep set of tools for addressing their long-term self-healing and self-regulation needs.

When it comes to female reproductive health, many women know the basics – estrogen and progesterone somehow work together to create a 28 day menstrual cycle every month until menopause. In reality, these hormones are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to female hormonal health.
many people don’t realize the extent of the work that these mighty molecules do day in and day out. We tend to think they only are on duty during puberty or pregnancy. When in reality, they’re working around the clock.
So today, Cody takes us through a Hormones 101 episode, so that we can better understand what hormones are and what causes them to become imbalanced.

Antibiotics, stress, and a poor diet get a lot of attention when it comes to factors that can negatively impact the health of our gut. But did you know that using hormonal birth control can be equally as damaging to our gut health?
The connection between gut health and hormonal birth control isn’t widely known. Women are so often blindly prescribed The Pill, without ever knowing the potential side effects it can have on their health. Especially the health of their gut.
Which is why Cody is diving into this topic today, to talk about a few of the main ways that using hormonal birth control can impact the health of our gut.

Breast cancer awareness is important, but breast cancer awareness put into action is an even more powerful prevention and treatment tool. As women, we deserve to feel empowered through easily accessible education.
We know we are supposed to do monthly breast exams, but do we all feel confident about what that should actually look like? What are we looking and feeling for? What are the 12 signs and symptoms that we should all be aware of? What healthy nutrition and lifestyle strategies can we implement to help support prevention and get us through treatment if we are diagnosed with breast cancer? What effective tools are available for us? There's so much for us to learn, it can sometimes feel so overwhelming.
On today's episode, Cody has invited guest Corrine Ellsworth Beaumont, Co-Founder and CEO of Know Your Lemons, to help us feel less overwhelmed and to instead help us feel equipped to be our own best health advocates.
As the CEO of Know Your Lemons, a non-profit saving lives through creative breast health education for early detection, she's been busy inspiring people to take charge of their breast health in the hopes of increasing the odds of early breast cancer detection.
When discovered in its earliest stage, breast cancer survival rates are nearly 100%. When symptoms chronically go unnoticed, however, the odds of overcoming late stage breast cancer are nearly insurmountable. That’s the vital difference between early and late detection. And, most often, it’s a distinction that comes down to knowledge and education — which is where Corrine’s organization gets its hands dirty creating powerful designs that educate, empower, and transcend.
Mixhers and Know Your Lemons have joined forces for a second year. Together we have created a free ebook available to download and we are committed to raise money to support early detection for breast cancer. You can help! Mixhers will be donating 5% of all Mixhers sales from October 23 - October 29, 2023.

Some weeks you’re on - you’re crushing it at work, you’re killing it in the gym, and you have energy after work to meet up with friends or to engage in leisure activities you love. But other weeks? Not so much. You have to drag yourself out of bed, you feel like you’re phoning it in at work and during workouts, and after work, you crash on the sofa and stare at the ceiling.
If that describes you, you’re probably (and rightfully) frustrated by these swings in mood, productivity, and energy. And being the wickedly intelligent woman that you are, you’ve probably set out to try to fix them.
Maybe you’ve tried to journal or a to-do list app. Maybe you bought an inspiring day planner, hoping that the beautiful pages would zap you into action. Maybe you read one of the million books out there on time management or productivity secrets. . But none of those things have worked—or will work in the future.
Why?
Because traditional time management strategies don’t work for women. On today's episode, Cody talks about how these external “solutions” force us to follow the 24-hour circadian cycle and they ignore a woman’s natural, 28-day hormone clock. We’ve been taught to plan our lives on the 24-hour circadian schedule, which works well for men—but not for women.
With most time management systems, we’re expected to make to-do lists, check things off as the day goes by, and then wake up the next day and repeat. Every day, every 24 hours, the same thing. But when women are forced to function as if their natural 28-day hormone clock doesn’t exist, we miss out on the superpower granted to us by our hormones.

We all need to set them—on today's episode we talk about what that means to set healthy boundaries and how to do it right.
Join Cody and her invited guest Susie Pettit, to learn about how living and working with boundaries gives us the freedom to live life on our terms while boosting well-being, reducing stress levels, and increasing productivity at work and home.
About our guest:
Susie Pettit has been helping women live lives they love for over 20 years. She is the podcast host of the Love Your Life Show, offers the super successful Parenting Teens Survival Course and runs a monthly membership for Midlife Warriors. She is a certified Parent, Life + Wellness Coach and a mom of 5 sons ages 18-25.
Susie is passionate about helping women live lives that feel as good on the inside as they look on the outside. She spent more than half her life living a life she did not love; as a people pleaser and codependent perfectionist. She reflects that it’s as if she was trying to win an award for ‘Martyr of the Year’.
Luckily she hit rock bottom and now has the breadth of experience to teach first hand about setting healthy boundaries, beating your inner critic, conscious parenting, and how to use mindfulness-based tools to beat overwhelm and anxiety. She uses two foundational frameworks: Her 5 Pillars of Wellness and the Thought Model.

Do you ever feel like you've been filling your tank, but you're still running on empty? Do you wake up feeling groggy, like you have a hangover, but without the fun memories of the night before? You’re sure you just spent the work evening as usual, sat on the sofa binge watching every single episode of your new favorite show until late. There was popcorn involved, but no wine, this time, so why the fuzzy, heavy head and desperate desire for coffee? You could be suffering with Adrenal Fatigue. Some studies suggest up to 80% of people today have some form of this health problem.
On today's episode, Cody has invited special guest Allison Samon to talk all about what the root causes are of chronic fatigue and effective steps we can take to overcome it.
Allison Samon is a Functional Nutritionist and Certified Holistic Health Coach. She’s also a speaker, Founder of Allison Samon Lifestyle & Wellness and works virtually with people to get out of chronic illness, escape from mystery symptoms, and help re-design their lifestyles so they can be fit, energized, and pain free in ways that are easy, fun, and sustainable.
Allison had a personal 10+ year chronic/mystery illness battle that ultimately lead her to change careers and pursue formal education in functional nutrition. She then created popular programs for women and men who are also proactive and excited to take charge of their health like: Reboot from Chronic Illness Cleanse, Chronic Illness Recovery Blueprint and Recover Group Body and Life Transformation program and is a co-author in the Amazon International Best Selling Book: Teach Your Expertise.
Allison believes that once people learn to recognize the signs their bodies are sending, they can make adjustments, get to the root cause, avoid and even reverse disease so they can live the best lives for themselves and their families.
Allison’s clients go on to lose weight, chronic painful symptoms, avoid surgery, get off medications with painful side effects, feel invigorated, become more fulfilled and ready to take on adventures they thought had long since passed them by. She’s here today to shake up the way you think about dis-ease and nutrition and empower you to take control back over your health and your life.

ADHD in adult women has increased dramatically over the last couple of years. Sometimes the diagnosis is missed when a woman is young, and she’s diagnosed later in life. Other times ADHD is misdiagnosed as anxiety, depression, PMS. Or symptoms are simply overlooked because ADHD presents differently in women compared with men.
In addition, symptoms of ADHD in women might exacerbate during times of hormonal fluctuation, either throughout the monthly cycle or during a particular life phase such as puberty, pregnancy, or menopause.
If you have ADHD, or have a woman in your life who does, you may have asked these questions:
- Why is my ADHD worse on some days?
- Why is my ADHD worse on my period?
- Can ADHD medication affect your period?
- How does estrogen affect ADHD?
Cody answers these questions and so much more in today's episode. Once we understand our hormones, and the changes they undergo, we can begin to see the connection with our symptoms. This is an empowering place from which to make lifestyle change.

If you make an appointment to see your doctor about hormonal acne, chances are you'll leave with a prescription for birth control. Hormonal birth control is a go-to for hormonal acne, but the truth is that it comes with its own set of side effects and it doesn’t always work..
Cody often get requests from women asking how to treat hormonal acne naturally without birth control because so many people struggle with hormonal acne and they want to know their options. And others are aiming to try to become pregnant, making it so birth control for acne treatment is no longer an option. If you're looking for hormonal acne solutions without birth control, there are natural solutions that Cody will be sharing with us in this episode.
She will explain what we can do to address hormonal acne naturally, including simple diet changes, supplements, skincare, and more.

The postpartum time is a roller-coaster period for women’s hormones, to say the least. You just grew a tiny human, which consumed a lot of your body’s resources. As you heal from delivery and begin nursing, the demands are even higher. Mix in the stress of adjusting to a new routine, having little time for yourself, and sleep deprivation, and you have a recipe for a postpartum hormone roller coaster.
In this episode, Cody dives in with us into all the details we need to know to support hormonal health during this exciting yet challenging time.
She covers these most-asked questions:
- Does breastfeeding cause hormonal imbalance?
- How do hormones change postpartum?
- When do hormones return to normal?
- When do periods return postpartum?
- What are postpartum hormone imbalance symptoms?
- What nutrients do breastfeeding mothers need?
- How to balance hormones while breastfeeding

The unfortunate truth is that most weight-loss strategies don’t work long term, and some can even make matters worse when it comes to our health and hormones. Anyone who has ever dieted and has had those lost pounds return, knows the frustration that can bring. Most of us assume the reason is just a lack of discipline or a failure of willpower. We don't always realize that it could be linked to hormone imbalance.
In this episode, Cody speaks with Dr. Jessie Hehmeyer, the physician founder of Well Empowered where she practices data-driven, outcome-oriented Functional Medicine. In this episode, we discuss how you can improve your lifestyle and nutrition to positively benefit your health and/or weight loss goals with a root-cause, natural medicine approach.
Dr. H created Well Empowered with one commitment in mind: Guiding you to create the health and vitality that transforms your experience of life and alters what is possible for you. Through working one-on-one, with groups, or in delivering corporate webinars, Dr. H provides the information, inspiration and strategies needed to produce sustainable and transformative health outcomes.
Dr. H earned her Master of Science in Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine from the University of Western States, Doctorate in Chiropractic Medicine from National University of Health Sciences, and Bachelor of Arts from UCLA. She is an IFM Certified Practitioner, a Licensed Dietitian Nutritionist, and a Certified Nutrition Specialist. In her spare time, you will find Dr. H with her husband, Chris, doing yoga, hiking, strength training, traveling or preparing a beautiful, healthy meal for loved ones.
In this episode, you will learn:
- How to manage emotional or binge eating
- Mastering your middle-ground to ditch the broken “all or nothing” approach
- How to create the vision for your life to become more clear on your health and wellness goals
- Do fad diets actually work?
- Chasing progress over perfection with your habits and lifestyle
- A radical new approach to your health journey: being kind AND honest

Are you feeling the weight of your negative mindset keeping you from being intentional and present in your day-to-day life. Then you end up feeling ashamed that you are not being gentle and present like you want to be and the feeling of shame leads to more negative behaviors and actions of numbing like scrolling your phone, yelling or over-consuming.
You are at the point of needing to completely uproot the shaming talk you have believed for so long. You are searching for the right environment, road map and person with real life experience to coach and guide you through this entirely new journey and way of thinking.
You are doing the best you can and you are in search of a positive environment to put all of this heavy baggage down so you can take full ownership of yourself in your daily life and finally overcome the shame and negative mindset keeping you from your ordinary joy each day.
If this sounds like you, then you are in the right place. In this episode, Cody has invited guest expert, Tessa Romero to share her life-improving methods and help us all feel more confident in our decision to work on ourselves.

Are you a perfectionist? Do you often find yourself striving for excellence, but feel like you can never quite reach that perfect standard? While it’s admirable to have high expectations, perfectionism can actually be harmful to our mental health and well-being. It can cause us to feel stressed, anxious, and overly self-critical, and it can even prevent us from taking risks and pursuing our goals. It’s important to do what we can to ditch perfectionism and find balance.
The good news is that there are ways to overcome perfectionism and learn to embrace imperfection. In this episode, we’ll explore why perfectionism can be damaging and how to break free from its grip. Cody invited guest Emily Engemann, Co-Host of Little Bits of Awesome Podcast, Fitness Expert and co-creator of the Kass and Emily Fitness App. Emily and Cody share practical tips and strategies for setting realistic goals, shifting your mindset, and learning to accept mistakes and failures as opportunities for growth. These tips helped us all let go of perfectionism and start living a more fulfilling, balanced life!

What's the first thing that comes to mind when you think about hormones? If you're like most people, it's probably your period or reproduction. But did you know that hormones have a significant impact on your brain?
Sex hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone are involved with brain development even before birth and play a role in memory, mood, and overall cognitive function throughout your life.
In this episode, Cody does a deep dive, and we are going to explore what we know about hormones and the female brain, how they influence brain health, and what happens when these hormones fall out of balance.

In this episode, Cody walks us through exactly what a hysterectomy is, why you may need one, types of surgeries, possible complications, alternatives to surgery, and her best tips for recovering from a hysterectomy.

So many women look at personal growth & development as another thing to prove their worthiness. But real growth is about letting go of what no longer serves us. It is about removing burdens, obligations, and misperceptions of our worth.
When we remove what is no longer needed, we create space to manifest what we want, focus on the things that matter, and fully enjoy our life and work.
And there are a lot of things we carry around that we no longer need: beliefs, behaviors, unworthy thinking, relationships, unhelpful habits, burdens, and more. Personal growth & development for women is about “doing” and “being” less, not more.
When we are operating from worthy thinking, we can look at personal growth & development as an enrichment process. We aren’t inherently “not enough”, but instead we are just enriching the greatness already inside of us and aligning our life and work with this greatness.
On today's episode, Cody invites Personal Development expert, Gina Trimmer to share her thoughts and tips on personal growth.
Gina and her family went from living the "American Dream" life to losing it all in the recession. In what they thought was the darkest time, they made the decision to change all of those bad habits of overspending and consumerism into budgeting and saving every penny. This "new" lifestyle allowed them the opportunity to invest and create multiple businesses that made it possible {6 years later} for them to retire by the age of 34/36 and spend the next years traveling across the world, hitting over 40 countries and having endless adventures along the way.
They settled back down in Utah while Gina was pregnant with her youngest son, but they have plans to begin traveling long-term again in July 2023! Gina documented her travels on her wildly popular IG @pure.imperfection. She has recently transitioned to the Podcaster life and you can find her podcast IG at @revitalizedwomanhood.
Gina is passionate about personal development, creating community, and empowering women. She is the founder of Revitalized Womanhood, which aims to promote all three of these ideals and so much more. You can learn all about Revitalized Womanhood and the private community of the Revitalized Sisterhood at www.revitalizedwomanhood.com

Intermittent fasting (IF) for women is complicated. There is a lot of positive research behind intermittent fasting, so it's hard not to feel tempted to jump right in after hearing so many fasting success stories. But is it safe and effective for everyone?
On today's episode Cody presents the facts behind intermittent fasting— the good and the not-so-good— so we can make an educated decision about whether fasting is a good choice for us.
Together we explore all the ins and outs of fasting, from schedules to safety, how it impacts our hormones, period, libido, and more.
Most importantly, this episode will help us understand why intermittent fasting can affect women differently than men. Let's dive in!

Do your fluctuating hormones have you staring at your bedroom ceiling instead of getting a good night’s sleep? The National Sleep Foundation reports nearly half of women in midlife say they have trouble sleeping. Poor sleep quality affects many areas of your life—your daytime alertness, mental sharpness, irritability, mood swings, and interest in sex. And it makes you more susceptible to chronic diseases and weight gain.
On today's episode, Cody has invited Dr. Valerie Cacho to share her expertise with us. Her expertise includes: diagnosing and treating medical sleep disorders during perimenopause and menopause, women's sleep concerns, mind-body approaches to insomnia, self-compassion training, clinical hypnotherapy, and promoting sleep health and wellness. She is the president and founder of Sleep Life Med, a tele-sleep practice in Hawaii and California. Additionally, Dr. Cacho is the CEO of Sleephoria, an online educational and sleep wellness company for women.

Your sex hormones aren’t the only ones you may need to look at to understand the cause of your hormone symptoms. On today's episode Cody does a deep-dive into when to test your other hormone levels like insulin, cortisol, thyroid hormones, etc.
Many women experience resistance to their request to have comprehensive hormone testing. It’s an understatement to say that it can be so frustrating trying to get access to the appropriate doctors and to the appropriate tests. And, then it can be even more frustrating to get your bloodwork done and have it come back as “normal” when you know that your symptoms are anything but normal! The biggest problem to getting a correct diagnosis is that it’s not always understood when is the best time to test our hormone levels.
In last week’s episode, Cody covered all about how to know when to test your sex hormones as women. In this episode Cody will be going over our other hormone levels like insulin, cortisol, thyroid hormones, etc.
More than anything, Cody wants you ladies to feel empowered to know what tests are available, what you can be asking for and especially to know WHEN is the best time to test. You’ll want to take notes!

When you’re trying to figure out why you feel so crappy every month, it can be so frustrating trying to get access to the appropriate doctors and especially to the appropriate tests. It can be even more frustrating to suffer terrible symptoms and yet have no diagnosis because your bloodwork comes back “normal.” Part of the problem is that you simply don’t know when is the best time to test hormone levels. And, honestly some doctors don’t always know either.
Cody is doing a deep-dive for us, where she is outlining some of the more common testing recommendations for women. She wants all of us girls, to feel empowered in our hormonal health, to know what tests are right for you, what tests are available, and especially to know WHEN is the best time to test to truly understand the root causes of your hormone imbalance.
This episode is part one, in this episode we will learn how to understand how and when to test our sex hormones.

“The two most powerful words when we're in struggle: me too." –Brené Brown
Pregnancy and childbirth can be a vulnerable time in your life. You may experience depression and anxiety while you are pregnant or after you give birth. And you may not be sure how to get the help that you need to cope with these common challenges.
On today's episode Cody invites Megan Johnson, the Co-Founder of The Emily Effect Foundation and Licensed Therapist to share what she wishes everyone knew about depression and anxiety during and after pregnancy—including when, why, and how to find the help you need.
Did you know that 50% to 80% of all women who deliver a child experience the mood shifts known as "the baby blues?" And that 1 in 3 experience postpartum depression and 1 in 5 will develop a more serious case of postpartum mood disorder?
These facts can be scary and confusing, especially right after your baby arrives.
Megan shares her sister Emily Cook Dyches' story. Emily was diagnosed and treated for postpartum depression and anxiety. She was treated for the illness for several months. During the process she and her family found pockets of very good help, but as a whole the journey felt frustrating because the resources available seemed disjointed. In short, there were many times they felt like they had exhausted every one of their options and simply didn’t have anywhere else to turn. After Emily lost her life as a result of postpartum anxiety, the family created The Emily Effect Foundation and website to raise awareness and coordinate local resources for maternal mental health.

Even if we are not a mother, we can hone into the superpower of being able to instinctively feel things through a deep-rooted evolutionary perspective that we know as a “motherly instinct”. It's in all of us. There is so much we can do as women to use our voice and to be a force for positive change.
On today's episode, Cody interviews two remarkable women who have been protecting the vulnerable & empowering the marginalized for more than 30 years.
Kathy Headlee is a dynamic thought leader who brings together personal growth and community development in a synergistic manner that changes lives around the world. She founded Mothers Without Borders in 1989. Under her direction, Mothers Without Borders has organized and implemented community development projects and volunteer expeditions to Romania, Mexico, India, Indonesia, Bolivia, Taiwan, Haiti, Uganda, Ethiopia, Kenya, Zambia, Zimbabwe, and the United States. She spends several months each year living in Africa, overseeing a variety of projects from Mothers Without Borders Regional Headquarters in Lusaka, Zambia.
Josephine has a master’s degree in Social Work, a rarity in Zambia, especially for women. She also knows a dozen of Zambian dialects, making her work expansive. She has a talent for remembering everyone’s names, including the hundreds of volunteers that have come to Zambia over the years. These gifts bless the lives of all she serves. She directs all MWB programs in Zambia, ensuring that the children are protected, oppressed voices are heard, and urgent needs are being met first. She works tirelessly to serve others and bring hope to the hopeless.

Making a baby may seem straightforward, but if you’ve ever tried and struggled to conceive—or witnessed one of your girlfriends endure the experience—then you know getting pregnant isn’t always so simple.
In the United States, 12 percent of women between the ages of 15 and 44 have impaired fertility, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That’s over 7 million women who want to get pregnant and can’t.
A number of factors work against us in our journey to motherhood, including exposure to environmental chemicals, long-term exposure to hormonally-disruptive medications, micronutrient deficiencies, and chronic stress.
In this episode, Cody shares the hopeful news that women can work to optimize their fertility through food, movement, and lifestyle. Women who want to be mothers can take steps now to preserve and enhance their fertility.

Genes are the specific instructions that make you who you are. They are sections of DNA, your body’s master manual, and at the latest estimate, there are around 20,000 genes in the human genome. But genes, like humans, are imperfect, and often have mutations or variations that can cause everything from eye color to hair curl to whether you can curl your tongue.
These mutations can also predispose you to certain health conditions and diseases, cause you to metabolize medications too quickly or too slowly, and mess with the way your body manages complex biochemical processes, including enzyme production.
One of those genes, called the MTHFR gene, can have a mutation that can specifically interfere with your ability to absorb certain vitamins and detox the body efficiently. About 40% of us have this mutation, and it can predispose you to health issues.
In this episode Cody invites Phillip Cowley, aka Phil's My Pharmacist to chat on what it’s all about, and what we can do about it.
Phil Cowley, is a real life pharmacist, who is stepping out from behind the counter and is showing up all over Instagram and TikTok! He’s getting attention for his simple and straight-forward pharmaceutical hacks. He’s informational, he’s inspirational, he’s our friendly social media pharmacist! He knows a lot about many health issues, but personally knows the importance of understanding the MTHFR gene mutation, because it has had an impact on he and his wives ability to conceive. Tune into hear more.
This episode is fun and informative and is definitely an episode to share with the girls in your life!

Does this sounds familiar: You feel exhausted, but you can't sleep. Your weight is creeping up, but you don't have the energy to work out or cook. You're irritable and anxious, and you’re noticing more hair on the bathroom floor. It could be adrenal fatigue or low thyroid or… both. But how can you tell the difference?
Adrenal fatigue and low thyroid conditions can cause similar symptoms—but there are significant differences too. Both can be frustrating and seriously disrupt your quality of life. But there is hope, and you can feel better and enjoy your life again! The trick is getting the right support, and that starts by narrowing down exactly what's happening in your body.
In this episode, Cody teaches us how to spot the differences between adrenal fatigue (and why this isn't exactly the correct term) and hypothyroidism, the signs and symptoms of both, and how they are diagnosed, so we can get the help we need to feel like ourselves again.

It's hard for people who don't live with endometriosis to understand just how debilitating and even isolating the condition can be. Yes, some people have more mild cases and less pain, but for many women with endometriosis, life is impacted in a major way, including when they are ready to become pregnant.
In this episode, Cody dives into how and why endometriosis can impact fertility and pregnancy and what steps you can take to support conception.

Endometriosis, a condition where tissue that behaves like the lining of the womb is found outside the uterus, and causes severe and debilitating period pain. It affects more than 6.5 million women in the US, yet there is still so much confusion around its causes, symptoms and treatments.
On today's episode, Cody invites Ana Gonzalez Herrera, who is the founder of Hormone University. After 5 surgeries and endless tears of pain and boxes of Ibuprofen with stage IV endometriosis, Ana made it her mission to be her own best health advocate. She believes that the more you know, the more you can do to avoid medical (or other) interventions which might not be right for you, and the more you can take control of your health.
This is an important episode, because adding to the agony of endo, many women don’t end up getting diagnosed until later in life, if at all, because so many physicians simply pass off their symptoms as period pain. This lack of acknowledgement leaves the women living with chronic endo pain feeling helpless and unheard.
Share this episode with the girls in your life. Chances are you know a woman suffering with endometriosis, we are 1 in 10, so the chances are high.

You may have noticed there are times in your cycle where your motivation and physical stamina are lacking when it comes to your fitness routine. No matter how motivating your trainer is, while telling you to push through one more rep or the Peloton instructor is saying “push”… you may just find that there are times where you just aren’t feeling that motivation. This isn’t because you’re lazy. Instead, the secret lies in your unique female monthly cycle and what day of the month it is for you. On today’s episode, Cody discusses the science of how to exercise with your cycle, to achieve your fitness and wellness goals.
Cody explains how exercising with your cycle doesn’t have to be a complicated endeavor. We intuitively already have the cues from our body—it’s a matter of respecting it’s signals and not unfairly trying to hold yourself to the same standards as our male, non-cyclical counterparts. Implementing the strategies, shared in today's episode, we can support our hormones so that they work with us and not against us to take our fitness goals to the next level. It’s seriously a game-changer when we know how to tap into our female super-powers all month long!

Our immune system defends our body against illness and disease. It’s a complex system that includes the skin cells, blood, bone marrow, tissues, and organs that — when working the way they should — protect our body against potentially harmful pathogens (things like bacteria and viruses), and limit damage that happens from noninfectious agents (like sunburn or cancer).
To best protect our body from harm, every component of our immune system needs to perform exactly according to plan. The best way we can ensure this happens is to practice the "good-for-us' behaviors our immune system runs on every day.
In this episode Cody helps us understand out immune system better and share seven ways to keep our immune system healthy.

If you pay attention to the health headlines, you’ve probably heard about the gut microbiome, or the collection of good and bad bugs that live in the GI tract and that have an outsized influence on our health.
But here’s something you might not know: the gut microbiome has a direct and powerful effect on our hormones.
If you suffer from hormone-related health issues, like acne, bloating, PMS, heavy or irregular periods, PCOS, ovarian cysts, hair loss, mood swings, fatigue, or low libido, you’re suffering from an underlying hormone imbalance — and you can help heal your symptoms by addressing gut health. A healthy gut is directly linked to healthy hormones.
On today's episode Cody takes us on a deep dive all about how to optimize our hormones by addressing our gut health. She shares with us all about what causes poor gut health, what the signs and symptoms of an unhealthy gut are , and her 8 top strategies to heal our gut and solve our hormone problems.

Consistency is one of our most powerful tools. It helps power us through the day-to-day so we can reach our goals. It can also make tougher routines become more automatic, triggering action, which in turn boosts motivation. But, why do we all struggle to stay consistent?
On today's episode Cody introduces us to a new and exciting tool that will actually make being consistent much easier and enjoyable. Mixhers has a new app!
Cody invited Greta Ballif, Mixhers Brand Director, to tell us all about what makes the Mixhers app so special and how it can help support each of our lives, to help us improve our health and happiness, which is at the heart of why Mixhers created this app for you.
The Mixhers app will help us to track our health and cycle each day, and it will also help us be better able to understand what's really going on in real time with our moods, energy, sex-drive, sleep and more. The Mixhers app helps us to work with our hormones each day, (with nutrition, exercise, supplementation and lifestyle) rather than working against them, which often leads to frustration and keeps us from staying consistent. Now, we will know what nutrition and exercise strategies we can implement each day to support us best, depending on what phase of our monthly cycle we are in.
The more consistent we are with using the Mixhers app, the more customized our individual experience will be. Having the app is like having a Health Coach in our pocket. We'll not only be able to use the app to track our cycle, but we'll also have access to coaching and learn so much about our unique bodies and what best supports our health.
App will officially release on January 4, 2023. Download this free tool and benefit from all that it can offer! Go to your app store and search for the Mixhers app, you'll be guided through the entire set up.

Have you ever wondered why some people seem to get so much done and know how to develop good habits? When they say, ”I’m going to…” start exercising, eat healthily, get organized, read more, etc., they make it happen.
But when you try to go after similar goals, it’s a different story.
You might be able to stick to them for a while, but then, somewhere along the way, you always lose your motivation and quit.
When that happens enough times, it’s easy to get frustrated and discouraged.
But creating and sustaining good habits doesn’t have to be so difficult and painful.
In fact, it can be quite easy. And even a lot of fun.On today's episode, Cody shares how to go about setting the right goals to create healthy and happy habits so that they will stick. It's all about getting clear on what really matters to you and making sure these goals and habits align with your biggest priorities in your life.
During 2022, Mixhers has had a tag line "Happiness is Habitual", we have loved having this as our focus and we want to use the positive momentum created this year to propel us into the new year, 2023 being the year that we are the healthiest and happiest people we can be!

Did you know that women are more likely than men to report having a great deal of stress, and almost half of all women say their stress has increased over the past five years (compared to 39-percent of men).

Every woman deserves to have a health span that matches her lifespan. In midlife, we get a second chance to change course if we need to….and give our body what it needs to thrive. As we age, our hormone levels naturally shift. As this shift happens, some of us may experience fluctuations with our cycles…or we can experience those steep declines as we hit menopause. These hormonal changes can lead to more than uncomfortable and frustrating symptoms such as sleeplessness, mood swings, vaginal dryness and vaginal atrophy, hot flashes, and changes in the appearance of our skin.
On today's episode, Cody does a deep into how to thrive through menopause. She shares what she's learned about what we all can do to thrive during this stage of life. Instead of seeing the symptoms mentioned above as inevitable, we can see them for what they are. They’re simply our body’s way of saying, “I’m not getting what I need.”
One thing we do need is nutritional support by some very powerful ingredients called phytoestrogens. Mother nature seems to have created phytoestrogens just for us girls, because they help us stay healthy and feel amazing during every phase of our life.
Introducing Herthrive! The right nutrients can relieve your menopausal symptoms and help your body feel and act younger.
Herthrive was born from a crusade Cody has been on for the last 5 years to learn as much as she can about this transitional time in every woman’s life known as menopause. She wants to know and to show what’s truly possible as we grow older. As an almost 50 year old woman, Cody is knocking on menopause’s door. Her mission is to transform the popular perception of menopause from one of dread to what it truly can be: the most empowering and pleasurable phase of a woman’s life.
Herthrive available on December 5, 2022!!

If you have a uterus, you’ll eventually reach menopause. This reproductive milestone is officially reached when you stop ovulating and bleeding every month, and you can no longer conceive. Perimenopause is the journey leading to menopause — and it’s sometimes a long and bumpy one, but it doesn't have to be.
Understanding the menopause process can take the anxiety out of the experience and help you take charge of your body as you approach your reproductive system’s second act. Knowing what to focus on with nutrition, exercise and with lifestyle strategies can not only help you survive menopause, but actually thrive through menopause enjoying your very best half of life.
On todays episode, Cody visits with women's health expert, Dr. Karyn Eilber, a urologist in Beverly Hills, California, with subspecialty training in Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery and over 20 years of experience treating women’s most intimate issues.

The holidays are upon us and our daylight hours are slowly dwindling. For many of us, fall and winter are the hardest months to stick with our healthy lifestyle goals. This time of year, It's tempting to skip workouts, pop some avocado brownies in the oven, and binge watch our favorite TV series.
We tend to cut ourselves some slack during the holiday months because, after all, we still have months before we need to have our bodies beach-ready, right?
Haha! Wrong!
The problem with this mode of thinking is that when we slip back into old, unhealthy patterns of poor diet and minimal exercise, while adding in the stress of the approaching holiday season, it takes a huge toll on our immune systems and our hormonal health. That's why January is known as the worst month on our period. It often shows up with a vengeance.
Staying proactive in caring for ourselves should be top priority all year long, but especially during the holidays. So, on today’s episode Cody shares some of her best tips to keep us all feeling healthy all year long.

Foot Zoning is the science of balancing, rejuvenating and detoxifying the body through the signal system in the feet. Although it is a treatment on the physical body, Foot Zoning also balances the mental and emotional bodies to bring all systems into harmony. A foot zone uses a process of analyzing to determine what is felt through the signals in the feet. Areas in the body that contain imbalances can be discovered.
A Foot Zoning Practitioner can detect residues and disturbances from food, drink, eating habits, chemicals, heavy metals, food additives, and drugs; as well as the presence of foreign living organisms such as parasites, viruses, bacteria, and fungus. Emotional and mental disturbances can also be detected during Foot Zoning.
This all might sound a little crazy, but there is a lot of growing scientific evidence that shows that Foot Zoning is a very effective tool that can be used to assist our body with healing.
On today's episode, Cody has invited her own personal Foot Zone Practitioner, Shae Durbin, to share all about how using this effective healing tool can help us understand how each cell in our body has a signal on our feet, and by accessing the signal, the cells are prompted at a DNA level to repair and renew themselves. The process of Zone Zoning acts as a catalyst and a guide for the body to awaken its natural self-healing capabilities. Working with Shae, using Foot Zoning, has been a complete game-changer for Cody in her health journey. That's why she is so excited to share this information with all of you.
You can connect with Shae by email: shaesweatfield@gmail.com.

Unexplained infertility occurs in about 15-20% percent of couples who seek fertility treatment. It is a hard diagnosis for many patients to swallow. It can be so disheartening to feel like there is no answer for you.
On today's episode, Cody visits with Sara Jensen, CEO and co-founder of Hugh and Grace a hormone-safe self-care products company. Sara and her husband experienced a 14 year struggle with unexplained infertility. they share that they learned a shocking fact: Everyday, we are unknowingly exposed to harmful chemicals that are effecting our hormone health and therefore fertility. Frustrated by the lack of transparency and the amount of confusion there is around “clean” products, they went to work and created high-performing, simple solutions that people can trust.
Sara also shares her incredible story of hope. Two incredible family members volunteered to be surrogates for she and her husband. They now have their very own miracles: Hugh and Grace. Inspired by those who helped them, they set out to create a solution. Realizing that we all need more than just products to create a solution, we’re also need a community to help share knowledge so people everywhere can make healthier life choices.
You can connect with Sara more here and here.

Pregnancy is one of the most amazing things we can experience as women. To feel another human being developing inside you is unreal and awesome, and it creates a very special bond between Mama and Baby.
But even the most amazing things in life aren't perfect, and there are some things about pregnancy that are very unpleasant. Weird stuff can happen to you when you’re pregnant, right girls? Of course, the end result is so worth the crazy changes and discomfort, but it's still good to know what to expect.
Not saying this should be expected while you’re expecting, but morning sickness is a very common symptom of pregnancy. Morning sickness is one of the most not-so-pleasant aspects of pregnancy.
On today's episode Cody talks about what we should know about what causes morning sickness and what we can do to reduce your nausea and feel amazing during your pregnancy.

You probably know that breast cancer is a major killer of women worldwide. You may even know that, every year, more than 245,000 women are diagnosed with the disease in the United States alone. And one in every eight women will develop breast cancer at some point during their lives. As your doctor (hopefully) tells you at checkups, it's important to perform monthly self-checks to screen yourself for this potentially lethal disease—but, do you know what to look for? The fact is, many women don’t.
On today's episode Cody and Corrine Beaumont, CEO and founder of the organization "Know Your Lemons", help us learn about what breast cancer can look like (because lumps aren’t the only indicator that something’s wrong). Tune in to learn all about the 12 signs of breast cancer we need to be looking for. Also about how to perform self breast-exams and when to do our self-exams during our monthly cycle.
Early detection is the goal. According to the World Health Organization, a shocking one-third of deaths from breast cancer could be decreased if detected and treated early. This means nearly 400,000 lives could be saved every year. This is an episode you won't want to miss and you'll definitely want to share with all of the girls in your life.
About our guest:
When Corrine Beaumont lost her grandmothers to breast cancer, she wanted to know what she should be doing for her breast health, but wasn’t able to find information that simply answered the basic questions. As a designer, she decided to do something about the lack of engaging information available. So she moved to London, got a PhD in patient communication and tested and refined the best ways to educate breast health information for a diverse audience. Later on when her close friend died from the disease, she left her job as a business professor, and started the charity with her own savings. In 2017, Corinne founded the Know Your Lemons Foundation, a global charity with a groundbreaking campaign teaching women all over the world the signs and symptoms of breast cancer in a unique and visual way.

Everyone has bad days, maybe even a string of bad days. Major depression is different. It’s like all color goes out of the rainbow. All oxygen goes out of the air. Everything is just… harder.
Mental health disorders are complex. So is the brain. And so are the foods we eat, and the ways our bodies interact with those foods. We’re still new to this game of figuring out exactly how the brain works, and exactly how nutrients may improve brain health. But, there are some very promising possibilities.Our brain is greedy. It needs a lot of energy to work properly and to create neurotransmitters - chemicals that send signals through the nervous system. Without enough energy or the right nutrients, our brain won’t get what it needs. In fact, one study suggests that eating a lot of nutrient-sparse processed foods could up our chances of becoming depressed by as much as 60 percent.
On today's episode, Cody visits with Karalynne Call, of Just Ingredients. Karalynne shares how she was able to fight depression naturally with nutrition. She is a mom of six with a passion for better health and wellness within the home. She began her health journey nearly 15 years ago as she battled severe depression, and she has helped thousands of other people to begin their own health journey. She believes that nature provides the necessary nutrition in order for people to live healthy, happy lives full of energy. Her goal is to inspire others to make a change in their eating habits and daily product use, one ingredient at a time. Her personal story is inspiring and she's a wealth of knowledge.

Did you know that Americans are having less sex now than they did a decade ago? Did you also know that 60% of women are sexually unsatisfied? Also, studies show that fewer women are having orgasms than any other demographic. With these stats, is it any wonder that Herlove was Mixhers most requested product?
Having a satisfying sex life is a very important part of having a healthy and balanced life, but for too many women, it's an area of their life that they feel like they need extra support in. Talking about it helps! So let's talk!
On today's episode, Cody and Jess share all about how important it is as women to feel empowered when it comes to our sex life. They talk about how a missing sex drive can be a sign of hormonal imbalance and should be taken seriously. They also share what to do about it.

“What is the best diet for PCOS?” Is Paleo the best diet for PCOS? How about Low Carb? Keto? Vegan? Weight Watchers? Raw?”
PCOS is not an issue that can’t be solved by medication. Pharmaceuticals like metformin and the Pill can’t address root causes, but what you eat (and don’t eat) can. Eating the right types of food at the right times each month helps rebalance your reproductive hormones, stabilize insulin and blood sugar, and support your unique female biochemistry during each phase of your monthly menstrual cycle.
On today's episode, Cody shares everything we need to know about how we can use food to manage PCOS successfully. She answers the questions so many of us have about what foods we should avoid and which foods we should focus on getting plenty of. What is the perfect diet for PCOS? Tune in and find out!

We all know how annoying it can be when our friends or family members accuse us of being moody around our periods. But what if there's the teensiest bit of truth to their words? Or maybe even a ton of truth?
As much as we may not want to admit it, period mood swings are a real pms symptom. That's why when we're approaching "Red Tide Week," we tend to become a little more on-edge than usual. Things that wouldn't normally be a big deal might suddenly set us off (often to our own surprise as well as the surprise of every other person in the vicinity).
If you're tired of feeling like your premenstrual mood swings are completely out of your control, you'll be happy to know there may be some things you can do to minimize them. Cody will share with us in this episode things we need to understand about why they're happening in the first place. Contrary to what your brother used to tell you, your monthly mood swings are probably not an indication of severe mental disorders; more likely, they're just a premenstrual symptom. They can, however, impact your quality of life and your relationships.
Sotune in and take a deep dive into what's causing your Mr. Hyde episodes and how you can take better control of your emotional symptoms each month.

Have you ever gone to a self-defense class? Usually it's because we want to learn how to fight, in case we are ever in a situation where we are being attacked. We want to feel like we can take our attackers down and get away, if needed!
The options for fight training are plentiful: Thai boxing, Brazilian jiujitsu, and mixed martial arts, boxing, karate, and tae kwon do. These types of trainings are great, but it takes years to learn how to knock a gun from a mugger’s hand or fight off multiple assailants. Traditional self-defense tends to fall into one of two categories. The first is learning how to fight. The second is learning a list of rules that women are told to follow, most of which start with “never”: Never go out alone at night. Never drink at parties. Never wear revealing clothing. Never talk to strangers.
But what if the way we traditionally think of self-defense is wrong?
on todays episode, Cody visits with Robyn Warner. Robyn is known on her instagram as @aflyonmywall. She's fun, she's cute, and she's relatable with her down-to-earth friendly personality. But Robyn is also an expert on self defense and is passionate about helping women to be prepared, not scared.
Robyn is a survivor of a brutal sexual assault, she shares her story and the strategies that helped her to survive. This is an episode that needs to be listened to by all women. Share this episode with all the girls in your life, because this information can literally save lives.
Robyn offers a self-defense safety course called S.A.F.E. Its a course that can be taken online or in person. Robyn has offered you, our It's Hertime listeners, a 40% discount on her trainings. just use the code MIXHERS. Thanks Robyn!

Are you losing hair? Dealing with acne? Experiencing Anxiety? Gaining weight? Never in the mood for sex? There’s a good chance that the culprit behind these seemingly unrelated physical maladies is nothing more than good, old-fashioned stress. While stress is a normal part of everyday life, it can sometimes trigger a range of unpleasant symptoms that we’re quick to attribute to other ailments.
The brain-body relationship is complicated, and it can be a mystery why people manifest stress in different ways – headaches for you, but nausea for your neighbor. On today's episode Cody and guest Sarah Burden talk all about the sneaky ways stress shows up and what we can do about it.

Chronic fatigue can mess with your physical and mental health while making it harder to get things done. On today's episode we are going to talk today about few things you can do to fight it.
Are you the type of person who’s always up for a nap, no matter what time of day it is? Or do you struggle to muster up the energy to do simple things like clean the dishes, fold the laundry, or even brush your hair? If so, you may be dealing with chronic fatigue syndrome.
While it’s normal to feel tired at times (especially after a poor night’s sleep or a particularly stressful day), it’s not normal or healthy to feel fatigued all or most of the time. If it seems like you’ve lost yourself in a constant fog of sheer exhaustion, it’s time to find yourself again. From taking Herpower to getting regular exercise, Cody will share some things you can do to fight chronic fatigue syndrome and get your energy back.

If you suffer from adult acne, you might be willing to try anything to clear your skin. Both Jess and Cody relate. They both have suffered with cystic acne and they too were seeking solutions. They want to save you the time and money that they lost—and the frustration they experienced—pursuing acne cures that don’t work.
On today's episode Cody walks us through six “miracle” acne cures that don’t actually work (and that almost always make our overall health worse)—and she outlines what we can do instead to prevent and heal from acne.

So many women are grossed out by their bleed. We spend as much time as possible during our menstrual phase trying to disguise the fact that we are bleeding. We go to great lengths!
While you might be trying hard to hide your bleed from everyone else, on todays episode Cody talks to us about how important it is to not hide it from ourselves.
She teaches us that how paying attention to the color, flow and the consistency can give us some of the greatest insights into our overall health.
Tune into this episode to learn more about how to decode your period blood, and learn about the five period blood types. Knowing this information allows us to “course correct” every month to support optimal hormone balance and overall wellness.

Have you ever felt misunderstood or simply not heard at all by a doctor you pursued in an effort to feel better or find healing? Did you feel talked down to or less than, simply for raising concerns or asking questions? Have you ever been told that your Google search doesn’t trump their medical degree?
Trust-based patient-doctor relationships are the cornerstone of quality health care. Patients experience the best results when they are taken seriously and treated by a doctor they admire, respect, and who values them and their perspective. But as chronic illness has skyrocketed in recent years, the quality of care in the medical space has diminished greatly.
Still, this is no excuse for being bullied by someone in a white coat just because they have alphabet soup after their name. While this is not everyone’s experience, a growing number of people — women, especially — are experiencing medical gaslighting by their doctors, causing an overall and ominous distrust for the medical field.
On today's episode Cody shares her best tips to be your own best health advocate. She shares her own experiences as a patient and as a Health Practitioner, as well as some stories from YOU! If you’ve experienced being discounted, dismissed, or gaslit by your doctor, or if your concerns have been written off as “common,” “normal,” or “something everyone experiences,” you are not alone.

Okay ladies, this episode is a good one about all things youthful skin, and no, we aren't just talking about our faces. Our face isn't the only part of our body that could use a little extra rejuvenation. Yes, we all want to look and feel our best both in and out of the bedroom, but this episode isn't just about "looks", that's the least important part of this conversation. There are actually many common struggles women of all ages and stages deal with "down there", that we just don't really talk about, because perhaps it feels like another one of those "taboo topics".
No such thing as a "taboo topic" on the It's Hertime Podcast ,especially when it comes to our health and well-being.

No matter your age, menopause can be frustrating — with your hormones changing, it can cause your whole body to feel off. Hot flashes, mood changes, and trouble sleeping are just a few of the many symptoms of menopause.
Most women begin menopause around the age of 50. Sometimes, women undergo certain surgeries that jump-start this biological process years early — and have no perimenopause transition.
If you make the choice to have surgery that begins menopause suddenly, it can be easy to feel very much not like yourself. While it may seem overwhelming, you’re not alone if you’re suffering from surgery-induced menopause — and you don’t have to suffer in silence.
You deserve to feel your happiest, healthy, and most balanced self. I’m here to help you adjust to your new normal, learn what you need to know about menopause, and care for your body in the way it deserves!
Don’t let surgery-induced menopause take power over your life. While it may be stressful at first, in this episode Cody shares some natural adjustments, and nutritional support to your diet and daily habits, that can help you can be well on your way to restoring hormone balance and being the happiest version of yourself no matter what age or stage of life you’re in.

- Blunt a blood sugar response
- Reduce insulin resistance
- Improves our intestinal movement.
- Promote better sleep
- Boost our blood flow
- and more!
If your schedule allows you to schedule in this type of exercise after every meal — or even your morning and dinner meals — your body and your health will thank you!
Tune into to hear Cody's top five benefits that are so compelling, you'll be inspired to start implementing this strategy right away! Cody also shares easy ways to fit it into busy lives.

In case we needed one more example of how conventional medicine fails women in perimenopause, let’s take a moment to consider heavy bleeding…
Virtually every woman is going to experience at least occasional heavy bleeding during the perimenopause years; (and in this episode Cody discusses the real issues causing this problem and talk about the things we CAN do things to get relief and overcome this issue).
Things often heard from conventional doctors are something along the lines of:
“Just buy heavier pads/tampons.”
“It’s not hurting your body to bleed so much; it’s ‘normal’ after all. So you can keep living your life.”
“Well, you can look forward to menopause and you won’t have to deal with it anymore!”
Can you see the thread running through these suggestions?
Deal with it.
It’ll end, so why should we try to fix it?
You’re a woman so you’re used to bleeding… it’s not that bad, right?
In this episode Cody is here today to tell us all that we do NOT just have to suffer from heavy, painful periods in perimenopause. There’s a reason it’s happening, and there are natural, safe ways to get relief quickly!
If you have a broken arm, do you wait until it heals to do something to fix it?
Of course not.
You get an x-ray, find the root cause of your pain, and make adjustments immediately.
In the same way, you shouldn’t just think, “this will end in a few years when I’m in menopause; so I’ll just deal with the pain.”
This episode is going to be your heavy bleeding “x-ray”—let’s dive into what’s causing this painful; disruptive symptom and (most importantly) how you can get relief!

Your doctor, your favorite podcaster, and your best friend all tell you the same thing: You have got to stop stressing – it’s not good for you. And it’s sage advice since after all, stress kills. But it’s a lot easier said than done, right?
Stress is everywhere. Whether it’s the Sunday night sense of anxiety about your overwhelming, ever-growing to-do list for the upcoming week, or the Monday morning hustle to get the kids out the door and yourself to work on time, or a biological event like PMS or menopause wreaking havoc on your hormones and consequently your sleep and moods, the fact is, stress is simply a part of life that cannot be avoided.
On today's episode Cody share herTop Ten 5 minute stress-reducing tips! Building a stress-management arsenal with these stress-stopping hacks will position you as a force to be reckoned with. Our advice? Start practicing these tips today because you never know what tomorrow holds.
Bath Bomb Recipe:
Add 3 drops of Lavender and 2 drops of Frankincense to one cup of Epsom salt, pouring the mixture into a hot running bath. Soak for at least 15 minutes to absorb the oils on your skin.
Roller-ball Recipe:
For on-the-go stress relief, mix 10 drops of Lavender and 10 drops of Bergamot into a 10ml rollerball, filling the rest with a carrier oil like fractionated coconut oil. Shake well and apply.

When we travel, our sleep schedule tends to go sideways. Healthy eating can feel difficult, if not impossible, in airports and train stations. We might skip the key supplements we usually take and crossing time zones can mess up your internal clock. Exercise becomes an afterthought and hydration often goes out the window… at which point constipation can become the norm. And when your GI tract is backed up, excess estrogen gets stuck in our system and wreaks a bunch of havoc.
Needless to say, all these shifts are hard on hormones. Actually, that’s an understatement. Sleep, food, supplements, hydration, exercise… these are THE things that keep our hormones working for us and not against us. When you have these lifestyle strategies locked down, you put an end to period problems like acne, bloating, PMS, severe cramps, heavy or irregular periods, hormonal migraines, and irritability and moodiness.
But when you travel and your hormone-supportive strategies get thrown off track, you can feel rotten quickly…and who wants to be bloated, moody, and covered in zits on summer vacation?!
For this week’s episode,Cody has gathered her best strategies for for keeping your hormones healthy and happy when you’re traveling. A few small tweaks can keep you feeling great when you’re on the move. Tune in and follow the steps she shares and your hormone health won’t have to go out the window when you go on vacation.

Did you know that our thoughts and emotions can affect our health? Emotions that are freely experienced and expressed without judgment or attachment tend to flow fluidly without impacting our health. On the other hand, repressed emotions (especially fearful or negative ones) can zap mental energy, negatively affect the body, and lead to health problems, like hormonal imbalance, and actually keep us from truly healing.
Sometimes we can be doing "everything right" when it comes to healing, the main reason we do not heal is because we are motivated and driven by fear. Sadly, most people who eat healthy, move their bodies and make other positive lifestyle changes do it because they don't like themselves and/or their bodies (not because they do).
On today's episode, Cody invited Ashleigh DiLello to be her special guest. Together they dive into the power of our mindset and emotions and how we can put this power to good use. Ashleigh is a Mind Coach and creator of Bio Emotional Healing®, a process based in neuroscience that helps her clients rewire their subconscious mind. She teaches us how to disrupt our negative thought loop, calm our body and emotions , take control of your thoughts and get out of survival mode, so that we can heal and enjoy optimal health. Be ready to have your mind blown!

Because hormones have a hand in almost everything going on in our bodies, they also affect our brains and therefore, emotions. This is why hormones can directly influence our mental health, even if that change is just periodic and linked to our menstrual cycle.
Join Cody and Elizabeth as they talk about what hormones are up to during our cycle, so that we can better understand why we might be feeling a certain way. And while it won't give us the power to suddenly control how we're feeling all of the time, what they share today, can help us make sense of it.
Todays episode is a nice reminder to stop that inner critic giving us such a hard time, and to be kind to ourselves instead. With the right knowledge and self-care, we can turn meltdowns and angst into understanding and compassion.
Elizabeth and Cody discuss dealing with conditions like PMS, PMDD, ADHD, anxiety and depression and about how our hormones interplay with these existing conditions and how it all affects our mental health.
Also, they talk about how one of the best ways to make the most of our cycles and mood is to start tracking our cycle all month long. This tracking helps to uncover patterns and helps us to understand the language of our symptoms. This can help us to predict hormonal imbalance and emotional patterns throughout the month.
Check out Elizabeth's Period Tracker here.

Did you know that hormonal acne, aka "adult" acne affect adults between the ages of 20 and 50? Hormonal acne affects both men and women, but the majority of cases occur in women, pregnant women and women going through menopause.
Acne is the most common skin condition in the U.S. It affects nearly about 80% of the population during their lifetime. About 50% of women in their 20's and 25% of women in their 40's get hormonal acne.
Acne is caused by clogged pores. Hormonal acne develops when hormonal changes, like excess testosterone, increase the amount of oil your skin produces. This oil interacts with bacteria on the pores of your skin where hair grows (hair follicles) and results in acne.
On today's episode, Cody and Jess talk about Jess' personal hormonal acne story and how she learned how to heal hormonal acne by first taking steps to heal her hormonal system. She learned how to work with her body rather than fighting against it.
Listen in to learn what she did, how she did it and what a difference it has made in her overall health and life.

PCOS, or polycystic ovarian syndrome, affects between 5 to 10 percent of all women. PCOS symptoms include irregular or heavy periods, acne, facial hair, scalp hair loss, increased belly fat, and increased levels of testosterone. It is also strongly correlated with infertility. While conventional medicine typically views PCOS as a gynecological issue, it is actually commonly driven by things such as diet, environmental toxins, genetics, and more.
In this episode, Cody sits down with Jason Hone to discuss the Functional Medicine approach to treating patients with PCOS. They delve into topics including the relationship between PCOS and insulin resistance, gut health, what tests to request and much more.
Jason Hone, MSN, APRN, C-FNP, practices as a holistic provider for patients of all walks of life, including working with hundreds of women suffering with hormonal imbalance and specifically, PCOS. He has worked in various disciplines of healthcare since 1996. To connect with Jason, you can visit his website https://www.wholehealthteam.com/

On today's episode Cody welcomes guest Lindsay Eager, a real life Mixhers customer and lover of Hertime. For years of having doctors insist she just had “bad period cramps,” or implying that her pain was psychological. Shamed and stigmatized, Lindsay fought to figure out what was going on with her body and pushed against the ignorance of many doctors about women’s anatomy, because she learned that endometriosis was damaging more than just her own life.
Did you know that one in ten women have endometriosis and it takes an average of seven years before they receive an accurate diagnosis―or any relief from this incurable illness’ chronic pain?
You will love listening to Lindsay's candid revelations about her symptoms and how she was finally diagnosed. You will relate to her diet and wardrobe malfunctions, troubles with dating, marriage, sex, coping at work, struggling with infertility, going through the adoption process...all while her vagina just hurt all the time.
Luckily, Lindsay has found the light at the end of this very dark tunnel, you will be so happy to hear about where she is today and what has helped put her endometriosis into remission.

With 1 in 5 girls missing school due to lack of menstrual products1, period poverty is an important, yet often ignored, public health crisis. “Period poverty” refers to the problem many women are facing of being unable to afford products such as pads, tampons, or liners to manage menstrual bleeding. In place of sanitary products, many girls are forced to use items like rags, paper towels, toilet paper, or cardboard. Others ration sanitary products by using them for extended amounts of time. Period poverty encompasses not only this lack of access to products, but also inadequate access to toilets, hand washing receptacles, and hygienic waste management.
Don't think this is happening only in third world countries, this is happening in our own communities. Period Poverty is occurring all around us. There is a lack of awareness because it's a "taboo topic", it's uncomfortable to talk about.
As you know, Jess and Cody started the It's Hertime Podcast to help change the conversation about periods and women's health. On today's episode they are delighted to invite another crusader, Kristin Andrus, to help educate and share what we as a community can do to help to end period poverty in our local communities.
Meet Kristin:
Kristin Andrus is a community champion who advocates for women, children, and refugees within and beyond Utah. She is also Chief Culture Officer to her husband and six children.
Kristin serves as a board member for the Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Intermountain Area and for UnDEfeated, an organization serving underprivileged youth and single mothers in Uganda. Nonprofits count on Kristin for her social media and marketing savvy as well as her supernatural ability to get stuff done.
With over 100,000 combined followers on 91,000 Instagram andfollowers, 12,000 YouTube, subscribers, and live cooking segments on Utah’s Studio 5, Kristin has built a platform for awareness and impact.
In November 2020, Kristin launched #SisterGoods, an Instagram campaign that raised $30,000 in its first week to supply menstrual care products to schools, shelters, and foster care facilities throughout Utah. #SisterGoods has since spread to more than 60 communities across the U.S.
"Menstrual products are a necessity, not a luxury" - Kristin Andrus

There are certain ideas and ideals that are tied to what “healthy” actually means; we think that in order to be healthy, women need to be a certain weight, follow a certain diet, and hit certain fitness and wellness goals.
But those ideals can actually put unnecessary pressure on women. Thinking you need to live up to these strict, and often inaccurate, ideals in order to be “healthy” can take a toll, both mentally (in the form of anxiety or self-criticism) and physically (in the form of exhaustion or pushing things too hard).
The truth is, when it comes to women’s health, there’s no one-size-fits-all definition—and these persistent stereotypes of what “healthy” means might actually be preventing women from being their healthiest (and happiest!) selves.
On today's episode Cody, Jess and their amazing guest Amber Brueseke, a well-known Fitness Trainer and owner of the account @biceps.after.babies on IG, talk about some of the most common stereotypes about women’s health—and paint a more realistic, accurate picture of what a healthy woman looks like. This is an episode you'll want to share with all of the girls in your life!

Something that Jess loves to relate to other women about is the powerful intuition that women have. Jess feels that Mixhers has been built off of a lot of gut instinct decisions and willingness to do hard things when you know it’s the right thing. What Jess loved to talk to Corinne, of Mint Arrow, about is exactly that… how has she grown a business based off of her willingness to make career changes, change her message and stay aligned with her heart. How has she felt the response has been from her audience when she chooses to remain truly authentic and how can we all remain close to our natural instincts? Listen to hear how Corinne has created an incredibly powerful audience and important message by sticking true to who she is!

Most of us have been on hormonal birth control (aka the pill and hormonal IUD) at some point – in fact, there’s a statistic that 98% of women have taken it at least for a little while in their lifetime. Many of us take it for a long time – 5, 10, 15, and even 20+ years.
It is handed out as easily as candy at the doctor’s office and many women don’t really even think about it as a medication – it’s like it falls into its own bucket.
But it is for sure a medication – and it is designed to stop ovulation to prevent pregnancy. It’s also prescribed often as a “fix” for things like acne, PMS, heavy periods, and more. Which totally bugs us to no end!
Hopefully doctors prescribing it tell you the warnings – potential for blood clots and stroke – but too many times we’re told it’s those things are rare. So it almost feels like it’s this magic potion that can help solve so many problems women are faced with.
Really, though, is it?
Cody lays it all out for us in todays episode. She shares all about the untold secrets about hormonal birth control, about different forms of non-hormonal birth control and how to transition off of hormonal birth control in a healthy way.

Today we’re talking all about poop! Nothing is TMI around here – and while this is an uncomfortable topic to talk about, it’s super important when it comes to your health. Constipation is a pretty regular problem, it’s something that is very uncomfortable, sometimes even miserable, it also can be problematic.
So why do Cody and Jess want to talk about this? Our stool is where a lot of our toxins are released – in addition to hormones. If we are unable to have 1-3 bowel movements every day, then those toxins can actually get recycled back into the body. The more toxins we have in us, the more inflammation we can experience – which can lead to additional symptoms. These are wide-ranging from migraines to anxiety to brain fog to fatigue to hormonal imbalance (and PMS) and more.

Did you know that in 2020, more than 50 million women are going through menopause in the United States? And it’s estimated that one billion women around the world will be experiencing menopause globally by 2025. And while more than 75 percent of these women will experience symptoms for a decade or longer — issues like hot flashes, mood swings, difficulty concentrating, sleep problems, and loss of sex drive — 55 percent won’t do anything to try to alleviate them.
“My approach offers a simple, workable, and enjoyable way of alleviating symptoms during
perimenopause and beyond. It is based on sound, published scientific research. The
success rate astounds most clients.” Maryon Stewart BEM
In this episode:
• a deep dive into the role that diet plays on hormones and looks at how to detect and correct
nutritional deficiencies, which are the underlying cause of many menopausal symptoms.
• Learn about naturally occurring estrogen sources and well-researched supplements that
can help to turn off symptoms like hot flashes and night sweats.
• Tips on how to hone in on stress, sleep, putting sex back on the menu and future proofing health for the long term, lowering your risk for many life-disrupting (and often life-threatening) conditions, including heart disease, osteoporosis, estrogen-related cancers (such as breast cancer), memory loss, and dementia.

First things first. Mood changes, including feeling more anxious than normal, are super typical before your period. Basically, it all comes down to hormonal shifts that happen as part of our menstrual cycle.
Changes in hormones like estrogen and progesterone, which occur before our period, can have an effect on feel-good hormones like serotonin and dopamine. And that can trigger a flood of not-so-good feelings.
So why doesn’t everyone turn into a basket case before their period? First of all, pre-period mood changes can come in a bunch of different forms. Some women might be extra irritable while others feel inexplicably sad or angry. For others, the issue is anxiety.
Keep in mind, too, that some women are just less sensitive to hormone shifts than others. And the more sensitive you are, the more likely you might be to get hit with all the feels before your period.
Jess and Cody are diving into this topic on today's episode and sharing about the link between anxiety and periods, why anxiety might flare up before a period and how to manage period and pre-period anxiety.

Did you know that each week of our cycle, our hormones change and we need to approach our sex life accordingly? One week, we might just need a few minutes of quick stimulation, and other weeks, we might need more build up and more time. Our specific desire depends entirely on what’s happening with our hormones, and knowing that information will empower us to access the right tools in our arsenal at the right time.
Join Jess and Cody in this episode as they take us through how hormones affect our sex drive, and learn strategies for working with our hormones, not against them.

There’s nothing more frustrating than when weight shows up out of nowhere and won’t budge no matter what you try. But we've found that weight gain is ALWAYS a symptom of something else happening in your body, and today Cody and Jess share the most likely culprits!
You guessed it, it comes down to our hormones! I know many of us when we notice some weight creeping on and we set out to lose it…we do what? Count calories! But when it comes to being successful and losing fat and maintaining a healthy weight, we need to make sure our hormones are balanced and on our side.
Tune in today to hear:
- Why hormone balance matters so much, especially for women that are 35 years and older (in perimenopause and menopause)
- How insulin resistance and blood sugar instability majorly contributes to stubborn weight (especially around the belly)
- Simple, natural tools and switches to get your insulin sensitivity back on track and help you become more insulin sensitive and more metabolically healthy.
- How to balance the other major hormonal players as well, taking a whole approach to healthy and sustainable weight loss.

Does your appetite for pizza, pastries, chocolate, and anything with sugar in it skyrocket before or during your period? Some of us women have a unique ability to tell when our periods are about to start based on how intense our food cravings are. You can call it a sixth sense or a woman's intuition, but it's actually based on physiological changes happening in the body. It's also a common symptom of premenstrual syndrome (also known as PMS) that usually happens during the luteal phase of your period.
Good or bad, PMS cravings are surprisingly common. If you've ever wondered why you turn into the Cookie Monster at the same time every month, tune into today's episode about what you should know about why women get period cravings and how we can deal with them.

As you know, Cody always recommends that, when we can, we should take advantage of the many tests that are available that can give us an inside look into our current health status. It's a more efficient way to learn more about what's going on with our body, so that we can then have a clearer understanding, rather than a good guess, about how we need to adjust our lifestyle and nutrition strategies to achieve lifelong optimal health.
On today's episode, Cody visits with Kristen Fuller who is a Dietitian and certified Food Psychologist. She created an incredible test that takes your unique genetic makeup into account and provides you with diet and exercise strategies that are tailored to your genotype. So, it's not a guesswork, one-size-fits-all or a fad diet of any kind, because it's all based on your unique DNA.
Listen in today to learn more about why it's such an amazing tool to learn more about your predispositions, like; your metabolism, possible nutrient deficiencies, food sensitivities, and diseases. As well as what types of exercise and diets you respond to best. Kristen and Cody also dive into the role of epigenetics and how this is what influences our genetic potential to manifest positively or negatively. it's all fascinating and when we can obtain this type of understanding of our health, it puts a lot of power into our own hands.

On today’s episode we get an inside look into what it’s like to be in the “wellness world” as experts and entrepreneurs. Cody and Jess welcome fellow wellness podcasters and female nutrition business owners, Zoe Sakoutis and Erica Huss as their guests.
In 2007 Erica and Zoe founded BluePrintCleanse, cementing their legacy as pioneers in the now multi-billion dollar cold pressed juice industry. After five years of unprecedented growth they sold BluePrint in December of 2012, marking one of the few times they’ve left before the party was over. It wasn’t long before they joined the party again and started a new nutritional supplement company. They started the company Earth and Star which is introducing the world of functional mushrooms to the world in delicious and fun ways.
So whether you are interested in improving your health, building your own business, or are just wanting some motivational life lessons, you’ll love today’s episode. These four women relate so much to each other, and openly share their failures, successes and passion for why they are in the “business of wellness”.

Has vaginal discharge got you feeling down? Any unexpected secretion or cervical mucus from your lady parts can be worrying, annoying, and even embarrassing. Not to mention the discomfort that happens when your underwear are suddenly wet and soggy even when your period is still weeks away. We get it, and we can empathize with the unpleasant feeling of unwanted discharge before period. The good news is that in most cases, those secretions you’ve come to dread are completely normal and healthy vaginal discharge. It can also indicate that your body is working exactly as it should. Think of those wet-panty moments as a not-so-pleasant rite of passage into womanhood.
While it’s normal to produce just under a teaspoon of clear or white discharge every day, some types of secretions could indicate an infection or other health issue. To help differentiate between “healthy” and “questionable” causes of discharge.
On today's episode Jess and Cody talk about the purpose of discharge and each type in great detail. Tune in to learn more about what signs your body is giving you.

In this conversation Cody and Isabel talk about her newest product called LastPad, a toxin-free reusable menstrual pad. These two also talk about the importance of using environmentally friendly feminine hygiene products that are not only good for Mother Nature, but also good for us and our delicate internal female environment.

Anxiety and ADHD are very different, but sometimes the symptoms can look similar. The correct diagnosis is critical to guide treatment and to make sense of things. As much as the right diagnosis can heal, the wrong one can also harm. Understanding how anxiety might look like ADHD, and the telltale differences between the two, can make an important difference in avoiding a misdiagnosis, and helping you deal with the symptoms that might be getting in your way.
This episode could possibly change your life! That is if you are anything like today's guest Elizabeth Baker. She shares her personal story about living with a misdiagnosis of anxiety and depression, While trying to treat those conditions, she couldn't help but feel frustrated because nothing seemed to be working. Then one day she was tuning into a podcast and was listening to another's story about being diagnosed with ADHD and how that caused anxiety, and she immediately related to all that was being shared. Thanks to this podcast episode she listened to, she was able to seek out a correct diagnosis of ADHD Anxiety and treatment plan, and it's made all the difference.
So if symptoms of anxiety and ADHD can be the same, does it matter how it’s treated? Yes. Yes. Yes. It matters. Cody and Elizabeth talk about how the symptoms aren’t the problem. The condition driving the symptoms is the problem. Understanding whether it’s ADHD, anxiety, or both is the first and most important step in making sure you're getting what you need to move forward. Although both anxiety and ADHD are manageable, they just need different types of support to improve.

The teenage years can be a tricky time. Teens are now testing out new independence, more responsibility at school and at home, and, of course, surging hormones!
The hormonal piece of teenage life almost always comes with a few bumps. As hormones like estrogen rush through the body for the first time, a breakout here and a bout of big emotions there will be totally normal.
But the teenage years don’t have to be a crazy hormone roller coaster ride for young girls. Intense cramping, horrible PMS, severe breakouts, intense emotions, and heavy or irregular periods do not have to be part of your teenager’s life—now or in the future.
On today’s episode we want to talk about how you can help your daughter feel better now AND help set her up for a lifetime of symptom-free periods. It’s easy, and it is truly a gift that keeps on giving.

Did you know that getting enough high-quality sleep helps women balance their hormones, and it’s a huge part of erasing period problems? It's true! But so many women are not getting the sleep they need. Sleep deprivation is tragically common in the United States. One in three people in the United States do not get enough sleep on a regular basis, according to the CDC, and many women with hormone imbalances encounter extra obstacles when it comes to healthy sleep.
On todays episode Cody does a deep dive on the four hormone-related causes of insomnia, and how to put insomnia to bed for good and how to get more high-quality sleep.

If you’ve tried different fitness routines to help solve your period problems, you know on some level that they don’t work for women. Maybe you made progress for a while, but then it stalled. Maybe you never made progress or, worse, your symptoms got more severe when you started a new health and fitness routine. This is all too common for too many women. I’ve worked with so many women who started a new health protocol—like eating Paleo and doing short, intense workouts—and seen their symptoms get worse actually get worse.
Why do most fitness routines fail women? Why do many exercise protocols make a woman’s period symptoms worse? Tune into to today's episode and join Jess and Cody to learn about how to lose weight and gain muscle more easily and sustainably, as well as how to prevent injury by varying your movement consistently according to your monthly cycle. When you sync your exercise with your cycle, you can experience incredible and lasting results.

Instead of fixing your exhaustion with more coffee and the same crappy diet, let’s open our eyes to the different ways we can be affected by toxins and what we can do to reduce our toxic load and address the toxins already inside of our body.
As modern women, living in this modern world, it is incredibly important to understand the effects of the toxins that can be found in our personal care products, makeup, cleaning products and so much more so that we can protect our health, our family’s health and prevent future chronic health problems.

We truly believe that your morning routine sets the tone for the whole day. But did you know that your morning routine can also help you boost your metabolism and get rid of that stubborn weight just based on what you are putting in your body?
On today's episode, Jess and Cody share some of the own routines, and Cody shares how having a solid morning routine helps women focus on adding foods that make them feel better instead of playing into the diet culture mindset of restriction. When you have a metabolism-boosting morning routine, you will see slimming in your belly and the numbers on the scale dropping no matter if you are in perimenopause, menopause, or post-menopause.

We’re used to hearing about how too much of the sun’s warm rays can be harmful to our skin. But did you know the right balance can have lots of mood-lifting benefits as well as hormone health benefits?
Sunlight and darkness trigger the release of hormones in your brain. Exposure to sunlight is thought to increase the brain’s release of a hormone called serotonin. Serotonin is associated with boosting mood and helping a person feel calm and focused. At night, darker lighting triggers the brain to make another hormone called melatonin. This hormone is responsible for helping you sleep.
Without enough sun exposure, your serotonin levels can dip. Low levels of serotonin are associated with a higher risk of major depression with seasonal pattern (formerly known as seasonal affective disorder or SAD). This is a form of depression triggered by the changing seasons and lack of sun exposure.
A mood boost isn’t the only reason to get increased amounts of sunlight. There are several health benefits associated with catching moderate amounts of rays. Listen in to todays episode to learn more!

If you pay attention to the health headlines, you’ve probably heard about the gut microbiome, or the collection of good and bad bugs that live in the GI tract and have an outsized influence on health.
But here’s something you might not know: the gut microbiome has a direct and powerful effect on hormones. A group of bacteria in the gut known as the estrobolome metabolizes and eliminates estrogen from the body. But that’s not all. A healthy gut helps hormones in other ways, too: a balanced microbiome lowers inflammation, which promotes hormone balance (and may be especially helpful for hormonal acne), and supports balanced blood sugar, which is essential for healing hormones. A healthy gut also allows our bodies to extract the nutrients we need for hormone healing from our food and supplements.
If you suffer from hormone-related health issues, like acne, bloating, PMS, heavy or irregular periods, PCOS, ovarian cysts, hair loss, mood swings, fatigue, or low libido, you’re suffering from an underlying hormone imbalance — and you can help heal your symptoms by addressing gut health. A healthy gut is directly linked to healthy hormones.
Tune into todays episode to learn 9 simple ways you can help heal your gut and improve your hormonal health.

Did you know that Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, or PCOS, affects as many as five million women in the United States and it is one of the most common causes of infertility.
PCOS symptoms—including weight gain, weight loss resistance, acne, missing or irregular periods, thinning hair on the top of the head and excess hair on the face and chest—can be annoying at best and debilitating at worst.
Despite the name, polycystic ovarian syndrome has nothing to do with cysts on the ovaries. The things your doctor saw on ultrasound are follicles or eggs, which are normal for the ovary. You can have many eggs and still have normal hormones, and that’s why ultrasound cannot diagnose (or rule out) the hormonal condition PCOS.
PCOS is best defined as androgen excess (high male hormones). Don’t let the term “male hormones” mislead you, however. Androgens are produced in both women and men and play subtle but important roles in the female body. It’s only when they become out of balance that they can cause problems.What this imbalance does is interfere with our regular menstrual cycles. Women with PCOS experience:
- Missing or irregular periods (not ovulating regularly)
- Unwanted face and chest hair
- Loss of hair on the head
- Acne (specifically on the jawline, chest, and back)
- Carrying extra weight around the waistline
- Inability to lose weight
- Insulin resistance and dysregulated blood sugar (though not in every case. Most women with PCOS have dysregulated insulin, but not all)
To treat PCOS, you need to know what’s driving it. In other words, you need to know the different types of PCOS. And that’s what we dive into today in this episode.
The Four Types of PCOS
1.Insulin-resistant PCOS
-
Post-pill PCOS (which is temporary)
-
Inflammatory PCOS
-
Adrenal PCOS, which is far less common
Tune in to learn more!
Three articles mentioned in the episode:
- Maybe it’s not PCOS (and PCOS cannot be diagnosed by ultrasound)
- Pain is not a symptom of PCOS
- Is it PCOS or hypothalamic amenorrhea or both?

Swimsuit season is almost here! But if you are struggling with the symptoms of hormone imbalance, you might not be too excited about showing off your “beach bod.” So let’s get your hormones “Summer ready”! Women can have a harder time maintaining a healthy weight and keeping precious muscle when their hormones are “out of balance.” When your hormones are out of whack, what’s happening on our inside starts showing up on our outside.
On today's episode, Cody and Jess talk about how getting our hormones summer ready can help us in these ways:
Bloating: High estrogen and low progesterone levels can lead to water retention and bloating. Estrogen often acts as a fluid retaining hormone, while progesterone is a natural diuretic. When these hormones are thrown off balance, you may notice uncomfortable bloating. You can use nutritional therapy, like Hertime to help boost progesterone production naturally to help keep you feeling comfortable in your swimsuit.
Glowing skin: Changes in certain hormones, such as estrogen and progesterone, affect your skin as well. Your body works hard to keep your hormones balanced, but if even one hormone is off balance, you begin developing skin issues such as dryness, acne, fine lines, rosacea and wrinkles. Nourish your hormone system with Hertime for beautiful glowing skin, it’s an inside-out job.
Energy: Women in particular really feel the effects of fluctuating hormones. Every month, throughout the menstrual cycle, estrogen and progesterone levels start out low. Then, during ovulation, estrogen increases sharply, only to take a deep dive again at the end of the cycle. Is it any wonder that a woman feels like a different person depending upon what day of the month it is? These extreme hormonal fluctuations can really leave us feeling completely all over the place with our energy levels. Hertime helps to prevent these rapid dips of our sex hormones that lead to us feeling unmotivated to go out and have fun in the sun. For energy, Jess and Cody recommend using Herpower and Hertime.

Definition of wear many hats:to have many jobs or roles. Does that sound like you?

Let’s start off with a debate, shall we? Are motherly instincts real or fake?
On today's episode, Jess and Cody have fun discussing something that seems to come "naturally" that needs an explanation, but just doesn't have one, and that's why do mom's seem to know their child's cry in a room filled with babies? Why does nesting instinctually happen? Why do mom's instinctually know when their child isn't feeling well, or when they're lying? It's an interesting thing to wonder.
Cody and Jess have a fun discussion about the many ways that natural mothering instincts have shown up in many women lives, and also in theirs. They share their own personal stories, of times they have been able to rely on these instincts to save, protect, and to nurture their own children as well as the children around them.

Did you know that all humans have the same set of genes? In fact it’s estimated that the human body has somewhere between 20,000- 25,000 genes. Our differences come from the tiny variations in those genes. Those variations influence not only how we look or how we behave differently than others… but in how our body reacts differently to external factors. Especially how it reacts to the foods we eat and the lifestyle we live.
One of the more common and potentially problematic variations is known as an MTHFR mutation. On todays Friday Deep Dive, Cody and guest McCall talk about this common gene variation and how it can impact how well our body metabolizes folate, a form of vitamin B9, that's required for so many critical bodily functions. A fault in this metabolic cycle is linked to some serious health problems. Listen in as Cody and McCall talk about some of them today.
Listen in to learn about:
-
What is MTHFR and what does it mean to have this gene mutation?
-
What signs and symptoms you should be aware of that could be indicators that you have this gene mutation?
-
How to get tested to see if you have the MTHFR gene mutation?
-
What percentage of people have the MTHFR gene mutation?
-
What people should take or avoid taking if they have the MTHFR gene mutation?

Infertility can be a lonely road, but you don’t need to walk it alone.
There’s no denying the fact that infertility can take a major toll on your mental and physical health.
The hormones, the disappointment, the needles and tests all impact your well-being. There is no way to describe the overwhelming pain associated with trying — and failing — to build a new life and new family with your bundle of joy.
But what is less often talked about is the impact infertility can have on the current relationships in your life.
Infertility is often a very lonely experience, a fact that is only made worse by the drastic shifts it causes in existing relationships. Shame, embarrassment, and stigma all have effects. Financial strain, lack of communication, and contradictory coping strategies can all amount to major rifts between loved ones.
You may remember today’s guest Mandi Bishop from Hope For Fertility, an organization that offers grants to couples all across the United States who are struggling with infertility. They offer financial assistance towards infertility treatments, surrogacy or adoption. Mandi and her business partner McCall Weekes shared their own personal stories of infertility on episode 47.
On today’s episode Cody and Jess welcome Mandi back along with Mandi’s husband, Dave Bishop. Together they share what infertility was like for each of them, and how it impacted their relationship. We appreciate how open and honest they both are. Tune in, you’ll definitely be inspired by their story.
For more information about Hope For Fertility you can visit their website at www.hopeforfertility.org or follow them on Instagram @hopeforfertility.

- Painful bowel movements and/or constipation
- Pain during or after sex
- Pain during vaginal exams or when using a tampon
- Prolapse, i.e. the sensation that the pelvic organs are dropping
- Lower abdominal pain
- Chronic pain linked to endometriosis, irritable bowel syndrome or fibromyalgia
On today's episode, Jess and Cody visit with their guest Whitney Laycock.

Do you struggle to get through the day, but have a second wind at night? Do you rely on caffeine to get you going and to function during the day? Are you gaining weight around your midsection and can't seem to lose it? Are you irritable, anxious and workout leave you feeling wiped out instead of energized?
These could all be signs that your cortisol is out of balance.
Your cortisol should have a rhythm-rising in the morning upon waking and spike a few hours into your day. By night time it should be lower to get you relaxed and ready for sleep. As cortisol lowers, melatonin (our sleep hormone) starts to rise and sweet dreams await you.
Stress, work, kids, bills, and many other underlying causes can confuse your body into pushing out more cortisol at the wrong times. When this happens for a prolonged period, we eventually burn out from being in a constant, chronically stressed out state.
On today's episode, Cody wanted to do a deep dive into what is going on when our cortisol levels are consistently high, and how we can regulate cortisol to avoid eventual burn out. Cody often shares how important it is to reduce stress as much as possible in our lives and how giving our brain "safety signals" helps to reduce cortisol production.
Cody invites her guest, Elise Jones, a Yoga Therapist, who is trained to help people that have dealt with trauma, or have certain health conditions that have come on from excess stress to join her on todays episode. Elise and Cody share with us some of the most effective strategies we can start implementing to reverse and regulate cortisol dysregulation. It's a fun conversation, full of all kinds of TLC and cool tips on how to support your adrenals and healthy cortisol rhythms.
Want to connect more with Elise? You can find her on her social media accounts @utahyogaandwellness and @elisejonesyoga.

Are you struggling with infertility, PMS, mood swings, weight gain, or low libido? If so, you could be dealing with a hormone imbalance such as estrogen dominance. Having high estrogen levels — known as estrogen dominance — is not only linked to a set of frustrating and uncomfortable symptoms, it also puts you at risk for a whole host of chronic issues.
From fatigue and irritability to autoimmune conditions and cancer, estrogen can wreak havoc on your body if it’s not in proper balance with your other reproductive hormones, such as progesterone.
And here’s the hard truth: Estrogen dominance is at an all-time high. We’re seeing high estrogen rates increase dramatically across the board, in both women and men, across all age ranges. And the rates of cancers and chronic illnesses linked with estrogen dominance are on the rise right along with it.
Because of all this, Cody wanted to do another Deep Dive Friday episode, because there is so much to talk about on this subject! On today's episode Cody walks you through what estrogen dominance is and how you’re exposed to xenoestrogens. And she shares simple nutrition and lifestyle changes you can make to minimize your risk of estrogen dominance. She also covers how you can naturally clear estrogen from your system and maintain an optimal hormonal balance. We always love to getting effective action steps from Cody that we can start implementing right away.

Did you know that according to recent studies, one out of every ten women will develop endometriosis. It's so common, but its a very difficult condition to diagnose, for many reasons. In fact, it can take an average of seven years for a woman to to get that diagnosis!
On today's episode, Jess and Cody wanted to invite Jenn Close, a loved member of the Mixhers Community. Jess and Cody met Jenna when she reached out to them about their product Hertime to see if it could help her with the debilitating symptoms she was living with most days of every single month. Jenna now has been a long time user of Hertime, and says that she can honestly say that she now "lives with endometriosis, but doesn't suffer with it's symptoms anymore".
We are excited for you to learn a lot from Jenna's story! Endometriosis is a difficult and stubborn condition to live with, but it's helpful to know that now, more and more, there is wonderful support out there available to manage symptoms, optimize health and improve quality of life. Tune in to learn more.

Did you know that March is Endometriosis Awareness month? Endometriosis will affect one in ten women in her lifetime. This is a startling statistic that highlights how women’s healthcare has taken a backseat to other priorities in conventional health and medicine. It also highlights how the way we live now — with chronic stress, the easy availability of hormone-disruptive food, and misleading or just plain missing guidance on how to address the root causes of our pain — has taken a toll on our health.
Guess what? We can take steps to ease the symptoms of endometriosis. On today's episode Cody does a deep dive with us, specifically about endometriosis, and shares with us the important steps that need to be taken.
Endometriosis is a condition that involves immune system dysregulation, hormone imbalances, and inflammation.
Endometriosis responds to targeted lifestyle strategies. That is to say: our food, exercise, and lifestyle choices can make a BIG difference in our symptoms.
The choices we make every day, big and small, can help reduce our pain, protect our fertility, and improve our quality of life. This episode will be a big help in showing you how.
In this episode Cody covers:
Why conventional medicine has so little to offer women with endometriosis
What is endometriosis?
Why is it happening to you?
Food and supplements for endometriosis.
The emotional aspects of endometriosis that you may resonate with.

It's International Women's Day! We love to see women supporting other women! We also love the opportunity to celebrate each and everyone of you! We are proud to be a brand that has been created by women FOR women.
Women are more alike than different. We are each unique with individual talents or strengths but we have beautiful qualities intertwined in each of us. The world wants us to believe we don't have similarities because of cultural differences, religious beliefs or language barriers when in reality we have a connection and bond that is formed easily between everyone of us.

Digestion is the process that we get all the goodness out of our food. Digestion is intricate and complex, and it is intimately related to how we feel and function every single day. From the energy we feel, to the fat that we burn, from the texture and appearance of our skin to whether or not we have a bloated tummy or not, right down to affecting our mood. Digestion is responsible for so much that goes on inside us.
On today's episode, Cody does a deep dive on how to improve our digestion and gut health and how doing so is key to supporting healthy hormone balance

Have you had the "sex talk" you need to be having with your teenage daughters? Like, more than just about the mechanics? Theres so much we need to teach our daughters to keep them safe and confident.
Sex is a normal, wonderful part of life. If we can normalize it according to our beliefs and values, we can help our daughters be safer, more secure, and emotionally mature about it. This will not only prepare them for their first time, but give them confidence and security as they move forward in their lives and interactions. Let’s not only be open, but break down the barriers that we’ve built!
Today, Jess and Cody invited guest Jess Rogers, to share how she has been raising four teenage daughters to be sexually educated, empowered, and safe. You'll love hearing her point of view and helpful tips.
Join the conversation! To help you get the conversation going with your daughters, check out our FREE guide to "Let's Talk - an abbreviated guide to a "better sex talk" with our daughters".

Remember The Beginning Of Your Relationship When You Would Drop Everything For Time With Each Other?
You probably did drop everything for a while— friends may have called you out for ditching them as your dog rarely got walked and your houseplants died. Nothing beats the excitement of a new relationship. In a healthy, mature relationship, your partner is still your first priority, but other things compete more successfully for your time than they used to. This is especially true if “parenting” is on your list of responsibilities. Recent studies have shown you aren’t the only one having less sex than you used to. If you find the days clocking by with little time for canoodling it doesn’t mean the thrill is gone. It just means you have to approach your sex life like the other goals in your life: failing to plan is planning to fail. If your physical relationship is a priority—and it should be—then you need to treat it like one. Add it to your calendar!
Today's episode is another fun conversation with Coconu owner, Sarah Belzer. You'll love the tips she shares, they could be the tips your love life needs!
Coconu is focused on helping you find more opportunities to connect and be intimate with your partner. Their personal care products offer couples increased possibility for pleasure, both functional and fun. Coconut oil and water based personal lubricants ease physical limitations for a more rewarding experience.
Do you feel like you struggle with your desire for intimacy? Have a low libido? Frequently wonder why sex isn’t on your mind? Herlove is for you! We’ve carefully crafted this, all-natural supplement therapy that works to relieve stress, balance sex driven hormones and increase sensitivity. Herlove is your intimate nutrition.

On today's episode, Cody and Jess welcome back their guest, Kristin B. Hodson, a Licensed Sex Therapist. They continue the conversation about having better conversations about sex with our partners.
Now that we have invested in learning about ourselves, it is time to learn how to communicate what we have learned with our partner! For many of us, this is where we run into trouble. We feel unsure how to communicate what we want. How to express what we like. And how to start conversations about sex...the sex we are having and the sex we want to have.
We love this quote Kristin shares, "it is easier to learn to talk about sex than it is to learn to read minds".
If you have been trying to read someone's mind, or wish that your partner could read yours, TODAY IS FOR YOU!

Did you know that just like our restaurant preferences, our sexual preferences can change with the day or the season of life?
Sometimes you might be in the mood for fast food (quick and easy), a favorite reliable place (you know its always good), someplace new (maybe some spicy Thai), fancy sit-down (it takes awhile, but it's worth it) or your partner picks, (but maybe you'll try some fries).
On todays episode Jess and Cody visit with Sex Therapist, Kristin B. Hodson.
She shares amazing information and makes the conversation about sex do natural, relaxed and fun!
Today's episode covers how we can accept our partners preferences without judgement, and how to communicator needs as well.Kristin has shared with us her free Valentines Day download here.

Did you know that perimenopause can start as early as age 35 and last for up to 12-15 years? Perimenopause can be a rocky road, and is actually the stage of life that most of the infamous "menopausal symptoms" occur. It's a time of life when it's common to gain unexplained weight, especially around our mid-section. It's when we wake up in a sweat at night, and our periods are erratic and often accompanied by heavy bleeding. Many women experience an array of symptoms as their hormones shift during the months or years leading up to menopause. It can be horrible...but it doesn't have to be!
On today's episode Jess and Cody welcome special guest, Rachel Barker . We are breaking down what's happening to your body hormonally, what tests you should ask for and what are some of the steps you can take to rock perimenopause.
Rachel says she reached her best level of health and fitness in her 40's, during perimenopause, and you can too! Listen in girls, this is information you are going to want to be armed with.
On todays show Cody recommends these at home hormone tests:
Women Health Test

Thyroid Test

Did you know that the #1 resolution made at the new year has to do with getting healthier? Probably no surprise to anyone! We have all made these kind of resolutions. We start out with strong determination, but studies show that the average person that has set a new year health resolution gives up during the third week in January!! Why is that? Because most health approaches start out with a will-power approach that most likely is focused on deprivation and suffering. No wonder these approaches fail so easily! No one wants to be miserable. Is it possible to reach our health and fitness goals and still enjoy life? It is if you can learn to approach health and fitness with an empowered mindset rather than a will powered mindset.
Listen in to todays episode, Jess and Cody talk all about what this balanced approach looks like. Be sure to click the link to enjoy a free gift from Mixhers below:

Did you make a new year resolution this past week that has to do with your health and fitness? If so, you're not alone! This is the most common new year resolution for everyone every year. Chances are you set the same resolution last year too! The problem for many of us women, is that every year we start off with a "go big or go home" mentality, but that can only last for so long. Before not too long, our extreme effort burns us out and leaves us feeling tired, defeated and even heavier. That's because we were approaching 'getting in shape' like a man! Women have a much different physiology than men do, sour approach needs to be different. We will never look or feel our best until we learn how get in shape like a woman!
In today's episode, Cody shares studies that prove that women have a much greater success rate when it comes to fat loss following a "cycle phasing" exercise, nutrition and lifestyle program. We lose more weight and are more likely to stick with it than when we follow a standard "eat less, move more" type of program. Listen in to learn how cycle phasing works, what this type of program looks like and what you need to focus on during each of the four phases of our monthly cycle. This episode could change your life, and definitely change your physique.

Are you curious about whether Hertime can really help you with your PMS symptoms? We love to share real-life customer stories with you. Many of you will relate to today's episode guest, Abi Ayres,.
Do you experience symptoms like heavy flow, cramping, moodiness and painful hormonal acne? Well then you will relate to today's story. Abi opens up about how she started experiencing extreme PMS and hormonal imbalance issues starting in Junior High School. She was so miserable that her mom decided to take her to the doctor. When she went to her doctor seeking help, her doctor's solution was to put her on birth control to manage her symptoms. Birth control did offer temporary relief, but unfortunately, this band-aid approach created a ripple effect that has created even greater hormonal havoc for Abi.
If you are a girl relating to Ab's symptoms, if you have been prescribed birth control to treat your symptoms associated with PMS, or if you are a mom of teenage girl experiencing similar issues, you don't want to miss this episode! Abi's story is something we can all learn from.

Food cravings are funny things—once the desire for a certain food strikes, it can be so hard to think about anything else until you give in.
Research reveals that cravings can pop up for a lot of different reasons, many of them psychological - nostalgia, memories, emotional attachments, pleasure, and reward all play a role here. But psychology isn’t the only factor behind cravings. Hormonal changes and nutrient deficiencies play a role in some situations, too.
In this episode Cody talks about some of the most common food cravings, what they are telling us, and how we can really satisfy them. Cravings are strong, but we are stronger. With the right tools we can overcome unhealthy cravings and take care of our hormonal health.

Does it seem like you always get migraines right before your period? Did you know that about 60% of women with migraines get a type of headache called menstrual migraines? Right before our period, the amount of estrogen and progesterone, our two female hormones, in our body drops. This drastic change can trigger throbbing headaches.
Several types of headaches are linked to these changing levels of hormones. Women often get menstrual migraines anywhere from 2 days before their period to 3 days after it starts. But anything that changes estrogen and progesterone levels can cause them. The degree to which these levels shift, not the change itself, determines how severe they are.
On today's episode Jess and Cody welcome their special guest, Lindsey Walker, a Mixhers customer that shares her story of struggle with"brain zaps", frequent migraines and headaches and how she has found significant relief using Herpower and Hertime to reduce them. Jess and Cody want every woman to know that it is possible to find relief and that all-natural tools exist to give our bodies the support we need to balance our hormonal shifts.
Do you suffer too or know someone who does? Learn about why Herpower and Hertime are natural solutions for hormonal headache relief.

If you struggle from period problems, but haven’t been diagnosed with something like endometriosis or PCOS, you might think that having heavy, horrible periods is just your lot in life as a girl. You just drew the short end of the menstrual-cycle stick! Uterine fibroids may be the root of your period problems. 80% of all women will develop uterine fibroids by the age of 50. So this is a very common issue...but not a "normal" issue that can just be ignored.
Fibroids are fueled by hormone imbalances (just like PCOS and endometriosis), usually the hormonal imbalance looks like estrogen dominance and progesterone deficiency. There are many natural and non-evasive steps you can take to balance your hormones and ease fibroid symptoms.
Join Cody today as she teaches about how you can biohack your hormones and bring estrogen and progesterone back in balance. Cody explains what symptoms to look out for, and what you need to know to balance your hormones. She also shares information on what procedures and surgeries are available, if needed.
Other episodes that Cody refers to in the episode are:
Episode 6: Why Eating and Exercising The Same Way Everyday Disrupts Your Infradian Rhythm and Hurts Your Hormones
Episode 7: How To Naturally Reduce Estrogen Dominance

On today's episode Jess and Cody welcome special guest Dave Larsen of Nene & Co to talk about a project Mixhers and the artisans of Nene & Co have been collaborating on to help make a BIG difference for women around the world. Dave shares with us that in the 1970's tens of thousands of men were murdered which left many women in desperate need. This project is providing for two major needs of these women in Guatemala; sustainable income opportunities that empower women with freedom and independence, and period relief by setting up women's health clinics that can provide Hertime and feminine hygiene products.
As you know, Jess and Cody (Mixhers), are passionate about helping ALL women feel their best, so that they can go out into the world and do their best, no matter what time of the month it is. They also have a huge passion about creating opportunities to connect women as a community. Having a period is something that naturally connects women to each other no matter where in the world we are from. Having a period is what has created this community here at Mixhers. As a community, we are even more powerful and can make a bigger difference together.
"Having this opportunity for our community to work together to provide sustainable and ethical work for women in need makes us feel even closer to each other. We are excited to announce the creation of our NEW Mixhers 'Period Pouches' that are handcrafted by women in Guatemala. These beautiful bags have been providing work for talented women that struggle to find a consistent way to provide for their families. We hope to make these creations a consistent addition to the Mixhers product lineup so that with each purchase we can provide work and a better quality of life for these women in Guatemala. We hope that our Mixhers community will join us in our excitement." - Jess Toolson, Mixhers CEO

Have you ever felt like you were a human chemistry project? Meet Ashleigh Larsen, a real life Mixhers customer and success story. In this episode Ashleigh describes her "hormonal havoc" history. In high school she started experiencing severe cramping, heavy bleeding, painful acne, hair loss, and was diagnosed with PCOS. She went to many doctors and could not find the answers and was told that this was just a part of having a period. Over the years she had tried EVERYTHING! Unfortunately the treatments she was using were only temporary solutions, that usually ended up making her feel worse after time or once she stopped the treatment. Luckily she found Mixhers, she started using the products, and today she is sharing her experience with us.

Today Jess and Cody welcome their special guest Becca Jackson from @ifthecookiefits. Becca shares her story about how she finally made the decision to not give up, to just keep going, no matter what! That simple decision is what made THE difference for her physically and mentally.
Becca shares her journey to health and wellness, and how it all started with a shift of her mindset. She decided that the best way for her to make healthy eating and fitness a part of her daily life, she needed to approach it in a balanced and happy way. She knew it wasn't realistic for her to completely give up sugar, so instead she decided she was just going to be more mindful about how she can fit treats into her life. This is how her instagram account started and where her handle "if the cookie fits"came from. Jess and Cody loved the tips she shared and you will too.
Listen in to get inspired and to feel motivated to keep going no matter what, and to never give up on your health and happiness.

Rebecca Rowley holds the title of The Third Strongest Woman in the World! Isn't that so cool?! Jess and Cody loved having Rebecca as their guest this week. Rebecca is someone that carries herself with so much beautiful confidence, power, and she has a giant and genuine heart. This week's conversation is about the importance of feeling good in our own skin and about body positivity.
As a twelve year old Rebecca felt insecure because her body didn't fit the stereo-typical mold of what was considered "beautiful". She thought in order to be beautiful she needed to focus on becoming smaller. But, lucky for her she had a wise 7th grade PE Coach who said something to her that changed her perception and self-esteem forever. He saw the beauty and potential she held in her body and he pointed her toward open doors she never knew existed. She has worked hard for years to build her strength and to earn the title she now holds, but she's shares that she has also worked just as hard to love and accept her body.
"Beauty isn't just about the way a body looks, it's about what your body and mind can do." Isn't that a message every girl (and boy) should hear? Rebecca encourages us all to find, focus on, love and share our strength with the world.
Be sure to check out Rebecca's instagram account for inspiration! She's amazing!

Did you know that women are wired for connection? It's essential for our health and happiness to connect with other women. On today's episode, Jess and Cody welcome Brittany Crane from @get_out_there_girl. She shares with us about how to make SOUL CONNECTIONS, and how there is a difference between "fitting in" and "belonging".
We love this quote by Brittany, " Friendship takes effort. Finding people you connect to and feel safe, heard, seen and valued around is worth effort. Friends might not always come easy and they might not always find you. You might need to go out and search for them. Those connections are worth going out of your comfort zones to find. They are worth being vulnerable and putting yourself out there. Because, when you find your tribe it feels like coming home. Your soul feels fed and you get to enjoy the peace that connection brings. We are wired for connection. It's part of our humanness. Don't give up on it and don't wait for it to come to you. GET OUT THERE GIRL, and go looking for it!"

Today's episode is the continuation of the conversation Jess and Cody had with Holistic Cancer Coach, Jenny Bradley from @shrinkthemutant. On the last episode we talked about treatment options for breast cancer warriors that are not well known, and how we as family members and friends can best support our loved ones that have been diagnosed with breast cancer.
On this episode we learn from Jenny that she is considered a "young adult" cancer patient, which brings more decisions to be made when it comes to choosing which treatment options to use. She also shares that she had been on birth control for 10 years, and when she was diagnosed she learned that the longterm use of birth control increases our chances of being getting breast cancer, especially the estrogen driven breast cancer.
You'll also hear on this episode from Jenny about what treatments she used, and also what lifestyle and nutrition strategies she is incorporating to support her own body's natural healing potential.
Favorite quotes by Jenny:
"It is absolutely possible to thrive with cancer".
"Cancer is not a sentence...it's a word".

On today's episode Cody and Jess introduce us to Jenny Bradley, who is a cancer thriver and advocate from @shrinkthemutant on Instagram. Jenny shares with us her inside scoop of how we can help our friends who are going through a health crisis, like cancer, and why it's important for patients to have hope and advocate for their choices.
After Jenny was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2017, she she started researching everything she could to help equip her to make confident decisions on her cancer journey. Through gathering perspectives from her medical team, including conventional and naturopathic care, Jenny has been thriving with her cancer diagnosis for nearly three years.
Because Jenny was diagnosed with cancer in her 30's, she had different choices to consider that went above and beyond fighting cancer. She had to consider the longterm side effects of her cancer treatments and how they could effect future family planning. She shares on today's episode a little about what that was like. She also shares with us which treatments have been successful for her, and gives us tips on how she has managed her cancer care team, and has felt empowered to be her own best advocate. She also shares advice for us family members or friends of cancer thrivers, on how we can best help and support.
This episode was so full of amazing information, that we invited Jenny to continue the conversation in our next episode. Be sure to tune into both!

On today's episode, Jess and Cody invited special guest Chelsie from @heytherechelsie to talk about how she has proven that it's still possible to live a vibrant and full life even after cancer. Chelsie is a strong, and powerful woman and is also a childhood cancer survivor. She has been cancer free for fourteen years. She shares that although she has survived cancer, there have been many other personal struggles that she has had to face because of the effects of her cancer treatments. Currently she and her husband are dealing with infertility caused by her cancer treatments. Listen in and be inspired by Chelsie's positive outlook on her life, and how she chooses to focus on the strength she has gained through these struggles. She focuses on how grateful, grateful, grateful she is for her beautiful second-chance-life, and the opportunity she has to live it.
September is Childhood Cancer Awareness month, and though it's good to be aware, it's also important to remember that childhood cancer is an everyday reality for thousands of families. Every day, 250 children around the world die from cancer. Childhood cancer is consistently underfunded at the government level, so there is a great need for private fund-raising to help support better research and treatments for children fighting cancer. Because of private fundraising, there have been many improvements in how childhood cancer is being treated through more targeted and precise therapies. Long term survival rates are continuing to increase, but unfortunately not fast enough to save the thousands of children. Chelsie encourages us to support the organization VeloSano, which is a year-round fundraising initiative in which 100% of every dollar raised supports lifesaving cancer research at Cleveland Clinic. If you are inspired by Chelsie's story and would like to help, here's a link to donate. We can make a big difference when we all help a little.

What is your definition of beauty? Is it the typical definition? The one that society and the media has us believing? Did you know that studies actually show that it's a woman's confidence that makes her most attractive? A confident girl is someone who is not afraid of being herself and feels comfortable in her own skin. She radiates from within, which allows her to focus her attention on others to help others feel more comfortable in their own skin too. The world needs more confident girls, don't you think?
On today's episode, Jess and Cody have special guest joining in on this conversation. Blakely is a fashion, lifestyle and beauty blogger. She loves fashion and looking her best, but she has become very aware of how much more important it is to be a voice and advocate that promotes confidence, beauty and body positivity from within. She sees that the focus, especially on social media, is all about image. That's what we do on social media, we look at tiny images, so it's focus can be more about what we see. Blakely wants to help shift that focus, to focus more on positive attributes and contributions. As a mother of two daughters, she tries to be extra aware of the language she uses about bodies and beauty around them. She recognized that her mother set an amazing example for her, which helped mold her into a confident women. She shares the tips we all can use to also have this same influence on our daughters, and also on how we can discover our own inner beauty confidence.

Did you know that research on the mind-body connection is gaining ground in mainstream science, and is no longer relegated to “alternative” medicine. We now know, in a deeper and more detailed way, how thoughts and feelings can affect our physical health and well-being. This is a concept that we all understand instinctively, and often relate to in our own lives, but it’s good to see the science support our shared experience.
There is a neurological, endocrine, and immunological conversation at work in every one of us that is reflective of our emotional state. While it’s very important to look at the root causes of conditions from a functional nutrition standpoint, it's also important to address the emotional aspects at the same time for long-term recovery. The emotional patterns behind officially diagnosed hormone conditions like miscarriage, infertility, ovarian cysts, fibroids, endometriosis, and other conditions are common to many, many women and very much a shared female experience. Understanding this aspect is an opportunity to have compassion for ourselves and for other women.
On today's episode Jess and Cody welcome special guest Taryn Neves, who is an advocate for empowering women with processing emotions properly. She shares her own story of what she learned while experiencing four devastating miscarriages, and infertility. It's a vulnerable conversation, but its an empowering conversation that will be helpful for many who can relate to Taryn, and her message of hope and healing.
On today's podcast two books were recommended to go deeper into this subject.

Do you find yourself racing to the pantry when you're feeling down or otherwise upset? Finding comfort in food is common. Today, Jess and Cody have invited a special guest, Ashley Turner, who is an emotional eating and cravings expert, to join them on this episode. They discuss the difference between "emotional eating" versus "cravings". They talk all about how to figure out what we are actually "hungry" for. Because, what we might be hungry for isn't always the kind of food that can be served on a plate. Ashley talks about "soul food" and "body food" and how to figure out where you might be deficient, and how to get to the root cause of your hunger. Food may help ease emotions initially, but addressing the feelings behind hunger is very important in the long term. Listen in to learn alternative ways to deal with emotions, and for tips on how to better get in touch with yourself and your feelings.

We are big believers in positive thinking, and we do believe that we can accomplish "most anything" we set our minds to. However, we likely cant accomplish "everything" we set our minds to, no matter how much we think we want to! That can lead us to feeling defeated, and often leads other's to feel let down by us, too.
On today's episode, Cody and Jess share how they have gone from feeling pressured to say yes to everything, to now feeling more confident to gracefully say "no". They went from being master to-do list builders to being more intentional on what they put on their lists. They realized that every time they said yes to something or someone, they often had to say no to one of their other priorities. Listen in as they share tips on how to get clear on your priorities and how say no, without damaging relationships.

Do you struggle with anxiety? You're not alone! Did you know that we are a hundred times more likely to have significant mood problems, like anxiety and depression, than people born a hundred years ago? Are our lives so much more unhappy? Not necessarily, but it's true that we are facing unprecedented amounts of stress in our day, far above what people faced a hundred years ago. And it's having a big effect on us! We used to experience acute stress, it came and then it went away. Our intuitive 'fight or flight' system would kick in when needed, and then shut off once the threat was gone. But now, we experience chronic stress, so our sympathetic nervous system rarely shuts down, and is running the show most days.
On today's podcast Jess and Cody talk about feelings of anxiety and how our lifestyles, and what we eat and drink, can have a huge effect in causing anxiety, or on the positive side, provide support for our stress-response system to help reduce anxiety. Have you ever heard of the term "nutritherapy"? Cody talks about the power of nutritherapy, which is a practice that seeks to prevent or correct disease by the use of nutritional supplements including vitamins, trace elements, or macronutrients. Tune in to learn more about what supplements and nutritional strategies you can implement today that will help you take charge of your emotions again.

Would you say you have a little food fear? When it comes to our health and body composition goals it's pretty natural and often encouraged to see food as our enemy. We count every calorie or macro that goes into our mouth, never miss a grueling workout and if we eat too much we sometimes feel bad about ourselves and try to make up for our "lack of will-power" by eating less and exercising more. Sound familiar? So many of us have fallen into this "less is more" trap at some point in our lives. There's a lot of information being thrown at us in magazines, on blogs, on social media, etc, that if we want to look fit and healthy, the approach we need to take is to eat less. It can be so frustrating when we follow this advice to keep cutting calories and adding more exercise, to then actually see our bodies STOP progressing. Today's episode is all about why this happens, and why less isn't always more.
Today's guest is Megan Millecam, a fitness and nutrition expert that provides virtual training + nutrition coaching. She is an ACSM Certified Personal Trainer with a BS in Exercise Science and a Masters in Health Science. Cody and Jess are so excited to visit with her today, because she has worked with thousands of women to reach their health and fitness goals and is so successful in empowering women to have a healthy relationship with food and exercise. Her positive, no-nonsense approach is what she is loved and admired for. She shares that there is a better way!
Listen in today as Jess, Cody and Megan share how they each have learned through their own experiences and from coaching others, what actually provides MORE when it comes to our health and fitness. They share tips and insights that you won't want to miss!

Today's episode was an impromptu and an emotional conversation between Cody and Jess all about the importance of letting ourselves be vulnerable with our mixed emotions. Jess opens up about what she learned a few weeks ago, when all in one day she received the news that her Grandpa passed away and it was also the day that exciting new products were launched at Mixhers. She fully admits what a struggle it was to process multiple emotions that seemed to be surfacing all at the same time. We all can relate to what Jess has been feeling. We all experience mixed emotions every single day. Jess and Cody openly discuss the need for feeling and accepting every single emotion. The happy and joyful emotions and even the hard and uncomfortable emotions, instead of ignoring them and burying them down deep. When we don't express our emotions, those emotions can often negatively show up physically and mentally down the road. It's truly an essential part of our human experience and is necessary for health and healing.

We can be focusing on all other areas of our health, but if we neglect our own self-nurturing, our hormone health can take a quick nose dive. On today's episode Cody shares her personal experience of how her efforts to be "perfectly healthy" actually sabotaged her in the long run. After years of intense exercise, strict nutrition, and all "the things" we think we need to do to achieve a perfect body, her body completely broke down. She was given a strict prescription by her doctor to slow down and to nurture herself more each day. This was the first and most important pillar of health that led her through her healing journey.

Have you noticed that we are all in a deep energy crisis? As humans, we are experiencing more brain fog, brain fatigue, which leads to chronic fatigue, a debilitating condition. That's why we are always looking for an energy fix, just to get us through our day! Don't believe this, then look at the sales of coffee and energy drinks everyday! It's incredible! So many of us are going about our day running on fumes, and this is why we are reaching out for caffeine to give us that quick energy boost, but unfortunately we are also receiving the energy crash that follows. Then begins a vicious cycle...that is just so exhausting! Caffeine is a stimulant, that only provides temporary energy. But, for long-term, sustainable energy - the type of energy required for exceptional mental performance, feel good moods, vivid memory, motivation, focus, creativity, and every other positive cognitive measure - you'll need an energy strategy that promotes natural energy production in our body and in our brain.
Of course, the best remedies for poor brain energy are better sleep and nutrition. You need quality sleep and good nutrition to wake up in the morning feeling more rested and energetic. However, to ensure that your brain functions at it's fullest capacity at all times, for enhanced levels of brain power, better life energy and performance, that every woman wants and needs, it's smart to implement a safe, well rounded, all-natural stack of nootropics for energy, into your daily energy strategy.
Introducing Mixhers newest product, Herpower! Jess and Cody have just announced this product today, so you are the first to learn about it. They created this product because you have shared with them that you are desperate to have better energy, that you want to feel clear-headed, feel motivated to workout and to eat nutritiously, you want to play and be creative with your kids and not need a nap afterwards!

Today Jess and Cody continue their conversation with Ashleigh DiLello on the power of positivity. The power of positivity doesn't just sound good, it's actually been studied by neuroscientists, through brain spect imaging. Every thought releases some type of chemical. When positive thoughts are generated, when you're feeling happy, or optimistic, cortisol decreases and the brain produces more serotonin, creating a feeling of well-being. The brain has heightened prefrontal activity and positivity results in enhanced mental functions. Positive emotions actually widen our span of attention and they change our perception and focus on more of the "we" instead of the "me". On the other hand, negative emotions are proven to slow down brain function, make it difficult to process thoughts, decreases activity in the cerebellum, and impacts the left temporal lobe (fear factor), affecting mood, memory and impulse control.
Today the discussion revolves around the concept of neuroplasticity, which is the brain's ability to adapt and change. Our brain loves consistency, and it loves to function on autopilot, or in other words, out of habit. When we have consistent, repeated thoughts, neuropathways are created in the brain. These pathways become deeper and more ingrained and become more habitual each time our thoughts follow this path. If we have negative thoughts consistently, we build a habit of automatic negative thoughts, aka "ants". By the way we are all wired to have negative thoughts, for survival purposes, we use negative thoughts to imagine potential threats and problems, and negative thoughts can help us to solve threats and problems before we get into trouble. But, these imagined threats can also work against us and turn our minds into "random negative thought generators" which isn't protecting us anymore, and is actually hurting us. Ashleigh shares with us that even though we have very ingrained neuropathways established, our brains are very plastic and are able to be "rewired". She shares with us, in this episode, tips on how to interrupt "ants" and how to create new pathways with positive thoughts and actions.

This episode is filled with inspiration and is only one out of two episodes Cody and Jess recorded with her.

The term "hormone imbalance" is thrown around a lot these days. But what does it actually mean? How do we even know which hormones are imbalanced, much less what symptoms we should be looking for to figure out if our hormones are out of whack? The thing is, from the time we are are born, our hormones are dictating a plethora of our bodily functions, like our appetite, sleep patterns, how we respond to stress, our libido, whether we're happy or anxious, and everything in between.
On today's episode, Jess and Cody help piece together an understanding of what the heck is going on in our bodies. Cody teaches about our "alpha hormones" that usually become imbalanced first and that then have a downstream effect on our thyroid, ovarian, and sleep hormones. As in, they disrupt how thyroid hormones, estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and melatonin work in the body. Jess and Cody share some of the first simple signs of a hormonal imbalance to look out for. If you're wondering, what's a hormonally imbalanced girl to do? Don't worry, Jess and Cody break it down and share the two most important steps to take first.

Today Jess and Cody sit down with the cutest Mother and Daughter duo, Mindy and Kylie. They wrote in to share about how much Hertime has changed "their time"of the month. Mostly, it's gone from moody and miserable at their house, to no big deal at all! How? Well, Jess and Cody invited them into the studio to tell us all about their experience with using Hertime, and how it has helped.
We think many of you will relate. Do you have a moody teenage daughter? Do you sometimes feel like a moody teenager yourself? Well then, this is an episode you'll definitely want to tune into. Having mood swings is a common symptom for women, no matter what age or stage of our menstrual life we may be in. As you Mom's know, it's hard getting through our teenage years, especially if we're dealing with major PMS symptoms. So, how amazing is it to have a solution that can help not just us, but can also help our teenage girls feel in control of their moods, to not feel debilitated every month, and to feel able to do all the things a girl wants to do! Hertime helps to nourish our bodies with key nutrients known to support our endocrine system, leading to natural hormonal balance, and elimination of monthly menstrual struggles for every one of us, no matter what age or stage we may be in.

When it comes to being truly healthy, as you know, it's important to take a whole-person approach. This is the approach Cody uses in her practice to help bring health and hormonal healing to her clients. It's important to go further than just diet alone, so today Jess and Cody are doing another episode focusing on two more, out of eight, main pillars of holistic health. Today they are sharing the pillars Stress Less and Love More.
Stress is a wellness threat that wears many hats. It sabotages our healthy eating habits by contributing to inflammation, increasing appetite, and causing sugar cravings, and saps energy we could be using to build muscle at the gym. Plus, ever met a super-stressed person who was maintaining strong-relationships? Stress is a normal part of modern life, but managing it allows us to live this modern life while maintaining our physical, mental, and emotional health. In other words, we will be happier, healthier people.
We know that a healthy sex-life and romantic relationships help us feel happy and fulfilled, but that's not all that our pillar of health that we call Love More is about. Romance and sex are definitely part of it, but there are so many other ways to express love, that still help to reduce stress and boost our feel-good hormones. Expressing and spreading love, in many ways, among friends, family, acquaintances and community, can contribute to a healthier and happier existence. Jess and Cody are encouraging our community to focus on living a more heart-centered life with even more intention. Let's see how doing so will not only improve our own health, by balancing our hormones, but how it also can literally change the world.

Sugar and refined carbs are best known for their effects on weight gain, but these foods are frequently at the root of our worst PMS and menopause symptoms, too, especially when it comes to fatigue, cravings, and mood swings. Today Jess and Cody talk about the tremendous difference it can make when we cut down our sugar intake. If we can stop eating sugar, we can feel more energy, have little to no craving or cramps, have less hot flashes, and so much more! Sugar not only causes major spikes and dips in mood and energy, it can also disrupt one of the most powerful hormones in the body: insulin. And, insulin is closely connected to all of the other hormones in our body, including estrogen and testosterone. So, even if you're not worried about your waistline, cutting back on or eliminating sugar will help rebalance hormones, and dramatically ease our most dreaded cycle symptoms.
Listen in to learn four effective strategies Cody and Jess use to balance their hormones and curb their sugar habits.

When it comes to being truly healthy, as you know, it's important to take a whole-person approach. This is the approach that Cody uses in her practice to help bring health and hormonal healing to her clients. It's important to go further than just diet and exercise alone, these are important areas to begin, but they are only two out of eight healthy habits she focuses on that lead to true holistic health. On today's episode Jess and Cody will introduce you to the first two powerful pillars of health (out of eight), that you can begin to implement right away to start feeling almost instant health benefits, and that will set you up for easy and enjoyable cycles, and optimal health. They discuss the concepts around "Eating Empowered" rather than "Will-powered", and how this is a healthier mindset that will lead to long-term health and wellness success. After all, food is the most powerful form of medicine, or the slowest form of poison, so having healthy eating habits is a must! Also, they discuss how there is one healthy habit, "Drinking Up" that could possibly be the simplest form of medicine you've been missing, or that you may not be paying enough attention to. Everything we put into our bodies gives our body's hormonal messages that can either lead to hormonal havoc or health. If you are needing a hormonal reset, these two healthy-habits are what you should focus on first!

Do you get enough sleep? Did you know that women are more affected by poor sleep than men? Sleep deprivation is tragically common, one in three people living in the U.S. do not get enough sleep on a regular basis. And, many women with hormone imbalances face extra obstacles when it comes to healthy sleep. Getting enough high-quality sleep helps women balance their hormones, erase period problems, and look and feel their best. Sleep matters. Today, Cody talks about why good sleep matters for your menstrual cycle, and for healthy and happy perimenopause and menopause, and how you can get more of it. She goes into some common hormone-related causes of insomnia and shares key strategies to combat these causes and finally put insomnia to bed for good!

Is friendship the medicine you are missing? We talk so much about supplements, food, exercise, and stress relieving strategies, but solid friendships are just as vital to our overall health, happiness and survival. As women, it's in our DNA that we are compelled to connect. We instinctually know that to survive, we need to nurture supportive relationships. In fact, it is shown that women are wired to seek connection when they are under stress, because when women feel secure in relationships and feel loved, they are able to release more of the calming and happy hormone, oxytocin. Releasing more "happy hormones" in the body, through attention, affection, and interaction, is healing for our adrenal glands and leads to optimal hormonal health and balance.
The best kind of friends to seek are the ones that influence you to have healthy thoughts, to eat nutritiously, to move often, and to live a healthy lifestyle. Today Jess and Cody share ways that you can make friends that will support your highest self and nourish and strengthen you. Friends are the family that we choose, so choose wisely. Your health and longevity is directly affected by who you surround yourself with.

We are under stress, and it is having an affect on us. Do you feel it? Are you experiencing symptoms like; irritability, anxiety, depression, headaches and insomnia? These symptoms are all associated with chronic stress. And, what is one main thing that happens when we are under chronic stress? Our endocrine system stops functioning optimally, and we can become hormonally imbalanced. Our adrenal glands start pumping stress hormones adrenaline and cortisol at higher rates, our digestion is compromised, leading to the inability to absorb vital nutrients, and our immune system weakens, making us susceptible to viruses and other illnesses.
Today, Jess, Cody and special guest Cassandra Lau are sharing their best information, and actionable tips for successfully combatting chronic stress.. Cassandra Lau is the host of The Beautifully Intentional Podcast, and is sharing 4 tips that will inspire us to start being intentional with our self-care, and how doing so will send "safety signals" to our brain to help reduce stress physically, mentally and emotionally. These tips are amazing, and not just the same tips we keep hearing over and over again. Managing our stress is the BEST way and first strategy we should use to stay safe, remain healthy and to continue feeling happy during this time.

Today on It's Hertime, we get to talk about something fun! And, it's about something every girl could benefit from having a little more of... confidence! How do we gain more confidence ourselves, and how can we raise confident girls? In this episode, Jess and Cody, and special guest, Morgan Thomas, aka "Miss Morgan", discuss what confidence looks and feels like, and what actionable steps we all can take to develop more confidence in ourselves. We are our little girl's mirrors, so it's important for each of us to learn how to feel comfortable in our own skin, so that they can feel confident in theirs. Confidence doesn't come from our physical traits, but more from the inner strength we build by overriding our self-doubts and by being courageous enough to overcome a fear of failure.

Our bodies and brains are different during each phase of our cycle, so our food, exercise and self-care should be different each week, too, If we want to look and feel our best all month long. If you've been living in a "same way everyday" kind of way, you're not alone. In today's episode Cody and Jess talk about how the widespread cultural belief that we are suppose to repeat the same rituals, every 24-hours - have the same morning routine, or exercise the same way day-in and day-out - is actually leading us girls down the wrong path and causing inflammation and promoting fat-storage, which can cause so much shame and frustration, when it feels like "we are doing everything right. This insistence on doing the the same thing day-in and day-out does cater to a male's hormonal biological clock, but not ours. Men follow the same predictable pattern everyday: the 24-hour circadian rhythm. We girls have a unique biochemistry. We actually have two biological clocks, the circadian rhythm and the infradian rhythm. The infradian rhythm is linked to our menstrual cycle and it powerfully affects our brain, metabolism, microbiome, immune system, stress-response system and our reproductive system. As women we benefit when we understand this unique internal clock and we eat, exercise and work in ways that support our infradian rhythm, as opposed to following diet, fitness, and work trends that disrupt it. Tune in, you'll want to hear about what we can do to live in sync with our internal clocks to look and feel our best all month long!

Do you feel like you're in the mood for a few days, then not so much the rest of the month? Jess and Cody felt like this was a very important topic to talk about because, as women, our sex drive affects so much more than our time in bed. A healthy sex life has amazing hormone-balancing power and health benefits as well. Jess and Cody also bring up the importance of understanding that a "normal" sex drive ebbs and flows according to what phase you are in during your monthly cycle. Understanding what is going on in your body hormonally each day, can help you better know how to work with your body, and how to communicate with your partner more effectively, so that you can have a very healthy and satisfying sex life all month long.

We know we should be talking to our little girls about "girl things", but how comfortable are the boys in your life when it comes to talking about periods? Jess and Cody share how they made the topic a comfortable conversation with the men in their lives (big and small). When boys are taught from a young age that periods aren't gross and embarrassing, they can grow up to be the most understanding, and helpful brothers, friends and husbands.

Ever wondered if your period is normal? Have you also always thought that PMS symptoms just "come with being a girl"?
