| 6/15/26 | ![]() 70. Reconnecting With Desire | A 4-Step Framework for Nervous System Safety (Season 1 Wrap Up) | When was the last time you did something simply because you wanted to? Not because it was productive, healthy, efficient, or part of a plan, but because you genuinely desired it. So many women have learned to disconnect from their desires in the name of responsibility, healing, fertility, or doing everything "right." But what if desire isn't something to ignore? What if it's actually valuable information? In this episode, we talk about how desire can reveal what your body needs to feel safe, supported, and fully alive. In this episode, I cover: Why desire is important data, not something to dismiss Why healing requires more than collecting nervous system tools Faith, surrender, and abiding with God How reconnecting with desire can impact hormones, cycles, fertility, and libido The role of support and co-regulation in healing A simple 4-step framework for practicing desire every day Learning to say "yes" to what brings life and nourishment I also share a few life updates, including our family's summer in Costa Rica, a pause before season two of the podcast, and ways to continue working together through consult calls.

| 6/8/26 | ![]() 69. The Energy That Changes It All | Understanding PCOS/PMOS Through a Metabolic Lens | In this episode of the Hormone Happy Hour, we're talking about something I think more women need to understand: you may have signs of metabolic and hormone dysfunction without fitting the traditional picture of PCOS. If you've experienced things like low energy, cravings, mood swings, painful periods, cycle changes, low libido, sleep issues, or fertility struggles, your body may be giving you clues that there's a deeper metabolic conversation happening. I also share why PCOS is increasingly being viewed through a broader metabolic lens and how our modern approach to healing can sometimes create more pressure, stress, and "doing" than our bodies actually need. We talk about the balance between physical support and energetic support, why both matter, and how creating safety in the body can be just as important as the supplements you're taking. In this episode, I cover: Signs you may be on the PCOS or metabolic dysfunction spectrum The connection between metabolism, hormones, and fertility Why energy availability matters for ovulation and progesterone How striving, control, and pressure can impact hormone health Feminine practices that support healing and nervous system regulation Why getting specific with testing matters before adding more supplements Worthiness, receiving, and letting healing feel less complicated A practical framework for supporting your hormones from both angles Follow Me on Instagram hello@drheatherrhodes.com Book A Free Consult Call Sign Up for My Weekly Newsletter Thank you so much for tuning in to this episode!

| 6/1/26 | ![]() 68. The Best Detox | What Actually Helps Your Body Eliminate Toxins | In this episode, we're talking about detoxing, but probably not in the way you think. Instead of focusing on cleanses, restrictive protocols, or fear around toxins, I want to talk about what it actually looks like to support the detox systems God already built into your body. Because the goal isn't perfection. The goal is resilience. Your liver, kidneys, gut, lymphatic system, skin, and nervous system were designed to help you process and eliminate what your body doesn't need. The question is whether those systems have the support and resources they need to do their job well. In this episode, I cover: Common toxin exposures in everyday life Why so many women struggle with detoxification How stress impacts your body's ability to detox Gut health, bile flow, and regular bowel movements Why undernourishment often creates more problems than toxins Heavy metals, mineral depletion, and ionic mimicry Supporting your liver without extreme cleanses Nervous system safety and detoxification Mental, emotional, and spiritual detox Follow Me on Instagram hello@drheatherrhodes.com Book A Free Consult Call Sign Up for My Weekly Newsletter Thank you so much for tuning in to this episode!

| 5/25/26 | ![]() 67. The Things I Would Tell You If I Wasn’t Afraid to Hurt Your Feelings… (Hormones & Fertility Version) | This episode of the Hormone Happy Hour is a little more honest, direct, and “big sister” style. I’m sharing some life updates, celebrating some really beautiful client wins lately, and talking through the things I genuinely wish more women understood when it comes to hormones, fertility, healing, and the way we’re living. We talk about why healing often has to go deeper than supplements and protocols into things like mineral depletion, stress patterns, nervous system regulation, mindset, alignment, and the environments we’re living in every day. I also share some patterns I commonly see in women struggling with fertility and hormone symptoms, including the pressure, striving, and timeline obsession that can quietly keep the body stuck in survival mode. In this episode, I cover: Why minerals matter so much for fertility and hormones The importance of changing the lifestyle that depleted you Alignment, abundance, and healing beyond supplements Speaking life, authority, and fruitfulness over your body Physical patterns I commonly see in women struggling hormonally Warmth, nourishment, digestion, and thyroid support Masculine vs. feminine energy in healing Why intimacy outside the fertile window matters too Follow Me on Instagram hello@drheatherrhodes.com Book A Free Consult Call Sign Up for My Weekly Newsletter Thank you so much for tuning in to this episode!

| 5/18/26 | ![]() 66. Understanding H. Pylori | The Overlooked Root Cause of Gut, Thyroid, & Hormone Imbalances | This episode of the Hormone Happy Hour podcast, is a deep dive into something that gets missed way more often than people realize: H. pylori. A lot of women think of it as only an ulcer or reflux bacteria, but it can actually impact so much more things like digestion, minerals, iron levels, skin, thyroid health, hormones, and even fertility. I talk about why H. pylori can make it harder to absorb nutrients like iron, B12, and fat-soluble vitamins, how it connects to things like Hashimoto’s, histamine issues, acne, sluggish digestion, and immune stress, and why gut health matters so much when it comes to fertility for both women and men. We also get into testing, treatment options, biofilms, nervous system support, and the foundational lifestyle pieces that often get overlooked. In this episode, I cover: What H. pylori actually is Signs and symptoms that often get missed Gut health, skin issues, and histamine reactions The connection between H. pylori and Hashimoto’s Biofilms and hidden gut infections GI-MAP testing and treatment options Foundational healing support for the gut and nervous system Mentioned referenced episode for you to binge: Iron Copper Episode #15 Sperm Quality Episode #18 Gut Episode #65 Frequency Episode #16 Follow Me on Instagram hello@drheatherrhodes.com Book A Free Consult Call Sign Up for My Weekly Newsletter Thank you so much for tuning in to this episode!

| 5/11/26 | ![]() 65. Gut Health & Hormones | Why Restrictive Protocols Aren’t Actually Healing Your Gut | In this episode of the Hormone Happy Hour, I’m connecting the dots between gut health, the immune system, and hormonal imbalances that so many women are dealing with things like Hashimoto’s, eczema, acne, endometriosis, fertility struggles, anxiety, brain fog, stubborn weight gain, and even recurrent miscarriage connected to low progesterone. I also talk about why so many women stay stuck even after trying restrictive gut protocols and supplements. Because a lot of gut healing starts with foundations that are often missed, especially low stomach acid. When stomach acid is low, it impacts mineral absorption, fat-soluble vitamins, cholesterol production, hormone health, skin health, and even the integrity of the gut lining itself. We also talk about nervous system safety, stress, eating habits, and the spiritual side of stewardship and healing. In this episode, I cover: The connection between gut health, the immune system, and hormones Why gut protocols often fail to create lasting healing Low stomach acid and how it impacts minerals and nutrient absorption Leaky gut, inflammation, and immune-driven symptoms Acne, eczema, anxiety, brain fog, fertility struggles, and stubborn weight gain A top-down approach to gut healing and rebuilding Why stress and nervous system dysregulation impact digestion Stewarding your body through mindset, words, prayer, and healing rhythms Follow Me on Instagram hello@drheatherrhodes.com Book A Free Consult Call Sign Up for My Weekly Newsletter Thank you so much for tuning in to this episode!

| 5/4/26 | ![]() 64. Fearfully & Wonderfully Made | Why So Many Symptoms Come from Living Outside God’s Design | This episode is a little more faith-centered, I’m recording while traveling and preparing for a women’s conference around Psalm 139, and this message has been on my heart. We hear “fearfully and wonderfully made” often, but I want to invite you to see it as something deeper an invitation into safety, identity, and intimacy with God. Because when your body doesn’t feel safe, it impacts everything…your hormones, nervous system, energy, and overall healing. In this episode, I talk about how true healing isn’t just physical, it’s body, mind, and spirit working together. And so many symptoms are actually signals that we’re living outside the design God created us for. In this episode, I cover: What “fearfully and wonderfully made” really means The connection between safety, hormones, and the nervous system Why healing has to include body, mind, and spirit How lack of safety can show up physically Speaking life-giving, identity-based words over yourself Strengthening your spirit through prayer, Scripture, worship, and community Living outside your design vs. returning to it Being made for slower rhythms, deep roots, and true nourishment Feminine design, receiving, and creativity If this resonates, I also share ways to work together, including consult calls and updated programs around hormones, minerals, and fertility.

| 4/27/26 | ![]() 63. Q&A Chat: Life Updates, Hormone Trends & What I’m Loving Right Now | This episode is a little bit of everything in the best way! I’m answering your questions, sharing behind-the-scenes life updates, and opening up about a deeply personal “wilderness” season that shaped so much of where we are today…from loss and uncertainty to the restoration I couldn’t have planned on my own. I also share what this current season looks like how I’m approaching workouts, style, business, and boundaries along with what I’m seeing right now with hormones, fertility, and the nervous system. If you’ve been feeling stuck or discouraged in your healing, this one will meet you there. In this episode, I’m sharing: A behind-the-scenes look at this season of life and business My personal “wilderness” testimony and what it taught me about trust, identity, and timing What restoration has looked like on the other side Current routines: workouts, style shifts, and creating structure with flexibility My recent favorite products (and a few “not-so-crunchy” confessions) What I’m seeing right now with hormones + fertility (including low stomach acid trends) Why some nervous systems actually feel safer in chaos and how that shows up in healing Encouragement for when you feel stuck, discouraged, or like nothing is working Follow Me on Instagram hello@drheatherrhodes.com Book A Free Consult Call Sign Up for My Weekly Newsletter Things Mentioned in This Episode: Clear Stem Skincare Cozy Earth use code DRHEATHER Amazon PJs Follow Jammie Baker for Style CRZ Yoga on Amazon Thank you so much for tuning in to this episode!

| 4/20/26 | ![]() 62. Upgrading Your Standards to Match the Version of You That Is Already Thriving (It’s Time to Get Out of Your Head and Into Your Body) | If you’re waiting for a supplement or a specific lab value to change your life, you’re looking at the wrong map. We’re diving into the one thing that actually moves the needle when everything else…the protocols, the AI-generated advice, and the "experts" feels like a total mismatch for your real life. It turns out that rapid results (whether we’re talking about fertility wins or just finally feeling like a human again) don't come from working harder at a plan you hate; they come from a ruthless upgrade of what you’re willing to tolerate. I’m breaking down how to stop making decisions based on your past "stuck" self and how to start acting like the woman who already has the energy, the marriage, and the health you’re currently just wishing for. In this episode, we’re getting into: Why "good enough" is the silent killer of your hormone and fertility progress. The difference between just changing your behavior and actually shifting your identity. A somatic exercise to help you get out of your over-analytical brain and into what your body is actually telling you. Real-life stories of how raising the bar led to a conception in eight weeks and a massive emotional "softening" for another client. How to spot the "misalignment" in your current routine that’s draining your battery. How to make decisions today based on the future version of you, not the version of you that’s tired and frustrated.

| 4/13/26 | ![]() 61. Good Sex, Nervous System Healing & Why Intimacy Feels Hard | Getting Out of Your Head and Back Into Your Body | Conversation with Leisha Drews | This episode is a little more open and honest than usual so quick heads up to grab your headphones. Leisha Drews joins me for a real conversation around sex, libido, and connection and how intimacy can actually support your nervous system, hormones, and overall healing. This builds on last week’s episode, because one of the ways women move out of stress and back into their bodies is through safe, connected intimacy. We talk about what “good sex” actually means (hint: it’s not about performance), and some of the deeper blocks that can make connection feel hard — like perfectionism, polarity shifts in marriage, and unprocessed resentment or shame held in the body. This isn’t about pressure… it’s about safety, presence, and connection. In this episode, we cover: Why intimacy can support nervous system regulation What “good sex” really means Getting out of your head and back into your body Common blocks: perfectionism, polarity shifts, and hidden resentment The connection between the pelvic floor, emotions, and stored tension Orgasms, release, and nervous system support A simple “bring it to the light” conversation for more honesty and trust Follow Me on Instagram hello@drheatherrhodes.com Book A Free Consult Call Sign Up for My Weekly Newsletter Follow Leisha on Instagram Subscribe to Happily Hormonal Podcast Thank you so much for tuning in to this episode!

| 4/6/26 | ![]() 60. Metabolizing Stress to Regulate Your Nervous System… The Missing Piece in Hormones, Gut Health & Fertility | If you’ve ever been told to “just relax,” lower your stress, or try another nervous system tool and it still didn’t fix your hormones, gut issues, energy, libido, or fertility struggles, this episode is for you. In this episode of the Hormone Happy Hour, I’m talking about something I don’t hear discussed enough, the difference between trying to lower stress and actually metabolizing stress. Because the goal isn’t to eliminate stress from your life (that’s impossible), it’s to close the stress loop so your body can return to safety. When we stay stuck in fight-or-flight, cortisol stays elevated, and your body will literally divert blood flow and nutrients away from things like your gut and reproductive organs. Over time, this can contribute to things like estrogen dominance, low progesterone, poor bile flow, histamine issues, mineral imbalances, pelvic floor tension, and even fertility struggles. We talk about: Why most stress tools don’t actually solve the problem The difference between minimizing stress and metabolizing stress What fight-or-flight really does to your hormones and digestion The three biggest reasons women stay stuck in stress patterns Fear, faith, and making decisions from safety instead of survival The problem with doing “all the protocols” but still feeling stuck What it actually means to close the stress loop The steps of metabolizing stress: trigger, immobilization, action, expression, resolution, and safety How movement, crying, prayer, breathing, and nourishment help complete the stress cycle The masculine and feminine parallel in stress and healing Follow Me on Instagram hello@drheatherrhodes.com Book A Free Consult Call Sign Up for My Weekly Newsletter Episodes Related to Masculine/Feminine Energy: 16.

| 3/30/26 | ![]() 59. Before Your Next Fertility Cycle (LISTEN to THIS) | IVF, IUI, Implantation & the Fertility Environment | If you feel stuck repeating fertility cycles or constantly trying the next step, sometimes the most helpful thing you can do is pause and look deeper at the environment behind fertility, not just the next procedure. In this episode of Hormone Happy Hour, I’m talking to the women who feel like they’re stuck in a cycle of trying, testing, and moving from one fertility step to the next without stepping back to ask what might be underneath it all. Many approaches focus on egg quality, sperm quality, toxins, parasites, and supplements, but sometimes we need to look at the deeper “axle” behind fertility, not just the visible pieces. This conversation is about stepping back, reducing pressure, and supporting the body at a deeper level. In this episode, I talk about: Why some women feel stuck repeating fertility cycles The Ferris wheel analogy and focusing on the “axle,” not just the “seats” What IUI and IVF actually do and their typical success rates Why implantation still depends on the uterine and vaginal environment The impact of always being in “doing” mode and not enough “receiving” Masculine and feminine energy and relationship polarity during fertility Functional labs like hair mineral testing and iron/copper balance Why sometimes the most helpful step is a reset and rebuilding phase Follow Me on Instagram hello@drheatherrhodes.com Book A Free Consult Call Sign Up for My Weekly Newsletter Episodes Related to Masculine/Feminine Energy: 16.

| 3/23/26 | ![]() 58. What I’d Do Differently If I Started My Fertility Journey Today | If I were starting my fertility journey today, I would approach it very differently and much more simply. In this episode of Hormone Happy Hour, I’m sharing what I would do differently if I were starting my fertility and hormone healing journey right now. After years of walking this out personally and working with clients, I’ve seen what actually moves the needle and what tends to keep women stuck or spinning their wheels. I also open up about some of the patterns I had to work through myself, especially around control, undernourishing my body, and missing key signals like libido and cycle health. This episode is about stepping back, simplifying the process, and focusing on the areas that truly create a supportive environment for fertility. In this episode, I walk through: The spiritual and nervous system roots that can impact fertility, including fear and control • Why masculine and feminine energy (and relationship alignment) matter more than we think • How libido can be an important signal of hormone health and fertility • The key labs I would run early, including a full iron and copper panel and hair mineral testing • Why mineral balance often needs attention before jumping into complex protocols • The impact of under-eating and why adequate nourishment is foundational for hormone production • Why male partners should be evaluated more thoroughly from the beginning • How to find practitioners who understand the full body while still applying a fertility lens Follow Me on Instagram hello@drheatherrhodes.com Book A Free Consult Call Sign Up for My Weekly Newsletter Episodes Related to Masculine/Feminine Energy: 16.

| 3/16/26 | ![]() 57. The Immune System Connection to Fertility | For high-achieving women especially, fertility struggles can sometimes reflect an immune system that’s working overtime and a body that needs deeper support. In this episode of Hormone Happy Hour, I’m digging into a conversation about fertility that I don’t hear talked about enough: the role of the immune system and mineral balance. Many women are told to focus only on hormones or jump straight into complicated gut protocols, but often the body needs a different kind of support first. I’m also talking about something I see often with the women I work with high-achieving, high-output women whose bodies are dealing with chronic stress, inflammation, and immune overactivity. When the immune system is constantly on high alert, it can make it harder for the body to support implantation, hormone balance, and pregnancy. In this episode, I walk through: How the immune system and gut health influence fertility and hormone balance • Why high-achieving women often experience immune overactivation and inflammation • The role progesterone plays in helping calm the immune system • How pathogens, biofilms, toxins, and heavy metals can contribute to immune stress • Why iron, copper, and trace minerals are often an overlooked starting point • The connection between chronic inflammation, implantation challenges, and miscarriage risk • The emotional and spiritual side of fertility, including learning how to receive and release fear Follow Me on Instagram hello@drheatherrhodes.com Book A Free Consult Call Sign Up for My Weekly Newsletter Thank you so much for tuning in to this episode!

| 3/9/26 | ![]() 56. Creating a Healing Environment & How to Set the Stage for Your Body’s Innate Wisdom | In this episode of Hormone Happy Hour, we’re talking about something that often gets overlooked in health conversations: environment. Many women feel stuck because they’re trying to reach a health goal while the environment around them (mentally, physically, emotionally, or spiritually) isn’t actually supportive of healing. In this episode, I walk through why the body needs safety and clarity before real change can happen, and how creating the right environment can shift the entire healing process. We also talk about how belief, nervous system regulation, and supportive relationships all influence the body’s ability to move forward. Healing isn’t just about protocols or information, it’s about building the kind of environment where your body can actually respond. In this episode, we cover: Why people can feel stuck even when they’re “doing all the right things” The importance of creating a supportive healing environment How belief and mindset influence the healing process Why safety in the nervous system allows the body to repair The role of co-regulation with others and with God How words, inputs, and daily influences shape your internal environment An introduction to muscle testing and how it can help prioritize what the body needs first This conversation is about stepping back and asking a bigger question: not just what you’re doing for your health, but the environment in which you’re doing it. When the body feels supported and safe, healing becomes much more accessible.

| 3/2/26 | ![]() 55. Is His Testosterone Low? Signs, Root Causes & What Actually Helps | In this episode of Hormone Happy Hour, we’re talking about something that doesn’t get discussed enough: low testosterone in men. This conversation applies whether fertility is part of your story right now or not. Testosterone affects far more than sex drive. It influences motivation, mood, energy, confidence, and overall vitality. And while low T is becoming more common, the conversation around it is often overly simplified. We walk through what low testosterone actually looks like, how it’s properly diagnosed, and why standard lab work can miss important pieces. I also explain why symptoms matter just as much as numbers and how patterns like high SHBG or elevated estrogen can affect free testosterone even when total testosterone looks “normal.” Inside the episode, we cover: Common symptoms of low testosterone (libido, performance, fatigue, low motivation, brain fog, mood changes) How testosterone is diagnosed and why two morning labs are typically required The three main physical patterns I see: low production, high SHBG, and estrogen dominance Contributors like oxidative stress, gut dysfunction, iron/copper imbalance, liver overload, inflammation, visceral fat, chronic undereating, and long-term keto Why jumping straight to testosterone replacement therapy can suppress fertility Foundational root-cause strategies: sleep, circadian rhythm, light exposure, meal timing, minerals, gut support, and iron/copper regulation Emotional and spiritual drivers tied to masculine identity, provision, protection, and pursuit How relationship polarity and masculine/feminine dynamics influence libido and hormone health Before replacing hormones, we have to ask:Is the body supported enough to produce them? If you’re navigating male factor fertility or noticing shifts in energy and drive, this episode will give you clarity on where to look first.

Unexplained or Delayed Fertility | Here’s Where to Actually Begin Building the Right Environment First | In this episode of Hormone Happy Hour, I’m sharing a little spring life update (hello strawberry festivals 🍓) and a final call for my 90-Day Hormone Reset before we dive into today’s real conversation: where I actually start when someone comes to me when experiencing unexplained or delayed fertility. We’re talking about building a truly supportive environment for hormones, not chasing symptoms. In this episode, we cover: What suboptimal fertility really means How AMH is not fixed and why birth control recovery matters The first tests I recommend in what order Why iron, copper, and hair mineral testing matter for both partners Copper’s role in implantation, egg quality, and hormone production The three fertility “environment” pillars: alignment, abundance, and accuracy Why fear can quietly block fertility physically and spiritually This episode is about understanding and getting back to order by correcting foundations, restoring safety in the body, and creating the kind of environment where hormones can function the way they were designed to.

Things I Have (Shockingly) Changed My Mind About…Labs, GLP-1s, Vitamins, Detoxes/Parasite Cleanses, & More | In this episode of Hormone Happy Hour, I’m sipping a fun little mocktail and taking you behind the scenes of how my views on health have evolved over the years. If you’ve been in the wellness space for a while, you’ve probably tried a few of these things too. I have. And today I’m sharing what I’ve learned, what I’ve shifted, and what I would approach differently now. This episode isn’t about bashing trends. It’s about maturity in health. It’s about understanding the difference between chasing solutions and actually building a foundation. Here’s what we get into: Why I’ve refined how I use labs (and why more data isn’t always better) The hierarchy of healing and why minerals and metabolism matter more than trendy detoxes Parasite cleanses: when they’re supportive and when they’re unnecessary Why bio-individuality is non-negotiable in real healing A nuanced conversation about GLP-1s and where they fit (and don’t fit) in personalized care The role of macros, workouts, and abundance in long-term hormone balance At the end of the day, this episode is about discernment. It’s about knowing your body well enough to stop jumping from one shiny solution to the next and instead asking, “What is my foundation actually missing?” Because when you understand your minerals, your metabolism, and your nervous system, you stop chasing and start building. As always, if you’re ready for personalized support, consult calls are open and I’d love to help you identify what your body actually needs next.

Postpartum Rebuilding, Not Just Recovery: What Your Body Actually Needs After Pregnancy (Even Years Later) | In today’s episode of Hormone Happy Hour, I’m talking directly to the women who are past the newborn phase. If you’re one, two, or even five years postpartum and wondering why your energy, mood, cycles, or fertility feel off — this conversation is for you. We dive into what actually happens to your hormones after pregnancy (hint: it doesn’t magically resolve after the first year) and why mineral depletion plays such a huge role in lingering symptoms. I explain how iron and copper can become dysregulated during pregnancy and birth, why that matters for metabolism and hormone production, and how mineral work can completely change the postpartum experience when it’s done intentionally. In this episode, we cover: Why postpartum hormone challenges often last years — not months The mineral shifts pregnancy creates (and why they matter for fertility and energy) Iron and copper dysregulation and how it affects your hormones and metabolism How hair mineral testing helps guide personalized healing Rebuilding your body without burning yourself out Balancing masculine and feminine energy in motherhood What true postpartum support should look like If you’ve been feeling depleted, disconnected from your body, or frustrated that you’re still not where you expected to be, this episode will help you understand why and what to do next.

Understanding Blood Sugar Regulation: A Whole-Body Look at Energy, Hormones, and Metabolic Support | In this episode, we’re talking about something that impacts energy, hormones, mood, and cravings more than most people realize: blood sugar. We walk through how blood sugar works, the role insulin plays, and why consistent nourishment matters far more than perfection. I also share what I’m seeing in client work, things like how macronutrients, minerals, and total intake all work together to support steady energy and calmer cravings. This episode isn’t about rigid rules or micromanaging food. It’s about learning how to support your body in a way that feels sustainable, grounded, and responsive to what it’s asking for physically, emotionally, and spiritually. In this episode, we cover: Why blood sugar regulation matters for hormones and daily energy How skipping meals and under-eating quietly disrupt stability The role of insulin and consistent eating patterns Why protein, carbs, and fats all matter and why none of them work alone How mineral status influences cravings and blood sugar swings What cravings often signal about nutrient needs The connection between stress, emotions, and blood sugar balance If you’ve ever felt tired, shaky, moody, or stuck in cycles of cravings and crashes, this episode will help you understand what’s happening and where to start supporting your body more intentionally.

| 1/26/26 | ![]() 50. Following the Rhythms of the Seasons & How to Live in Alignment with the Earth to Support Your Body | In this episode of the Hormone Happy Hour podcast, I’m talking about something that quietly influences everything in our health: seasonal rhythms. This conversation about what it actually looks like to live in sync with the natural rhythms God designed our bodies to follow. From light exposure and sleep to food, minerals, and daily routines, so much of hormone balance comes back to alignment, not force. We talk about circadian rhythms and why light matters more than we’ve been taught, how modern life pulls us out of sync with the earth, and what that means for hormone production, energy, and mood. This episode isn’t about doing life “perfectly” or moving off the grid. It’s about becoming more aware of the signals your body is giving you and making small, realistic shifts that bring more steadiness, safety, and support. In this episode, we talk about: Why your body thrives on rhythm, not constant stimulation How light exposure influences hormones and circadian health Simple ways to support your rhythm in the morning and evening What eating seasonally and locally actually supports in the body Why minerals matter more than we realize in modern life The connection between iron, copper, and overall vitality How honoring natural rhythms can be both practical and spiritual If you’ve been feeling a little off, disconnected, or tired in ways that don’t make sense, this episode is an invitation to slow down and reconnect not by adding more, but by aligning more closely with what your body was designed to need.

| 1/19/26 | ![]() 49. Truth Bomb: You’re Not Eating Enough… Even If You Think You Are | Here’s the thing: many women are not eating enough to support their hormones, even when they’re eating “clean,” prioritizing protein, and taking all the right supplements. I see this constantly in client work, and I’ve lived it myself. If your body doesn’t have enough fuel, it can’t make hormones well, especially progesterone, no matter how hard you’re trying to do everything “right.” This episode of The Hormone Happy Hour, is all about understanding what enough actually means for your body, why under-eating is so common (and often unintentional), and how strategic, intentional increases in food can be one of the most supportive things you do for hormone balance. We also talk about reverse dieting, metabolic individuality, and why blanket calorie advice almost always misses the mark. In this episode, I cover: Why eating “clean” doesn’t always mean eating enough How under-fueling quietly impacts progesterone, energy, mood, and libido What reverse dieting really is and who it’s actually for Why calorie needs are deeply individual (and not something to guess at) How hair mineral testing and metabolic type guide smarter nutrition decisions What I’m seeing in client results when nourishment becomes the priority I also share details about an upcoming Full Reset program designed to help women rebuild hormone balance from the ground up with personalized nutrition strategies based on real data, not trends or restrictions. If this episode makes you pause and wonder whether your body has been running on less than it needs, let that curiosity stay with you.

Exercise, Hormones, and Healing: How to Know If Your Workouts Are Helping or Hurting | In this episode of The Hormone Happy Hour, I’m sharing how my relationship with exercise has completely shifted and why I think a lot of women are unintentionally working against their hormones in the name of “being healthy.” This conversation is especially for the woman who loves movement, wants to feel strong, and also wants her body to actually respond well instead of feeling more depleted, inflamed, or stuck. We’re talking honestly about seasons of movement and how exercise needs to look different depending on where your hormones, nervous system, and metabolism actually are right now. I also walk through the connection between control, overtraining, under-fueling, and why so many women don’t realize how quickly that spiral can impact libido, mood, and overall hormone balance. This episode is about finding a rhythm that supports your body instead of constantly asking it to push harder. In this episode, we cover: Why I’m rethinking how exercise fits into hormone health in 2026 The difference between training from stress vs. training from support How intense workouts can quietly work against healing (even when you “love the gym”) The role of rest, nourishment, and minerals in sustainable fitness How under-fueling and over-control often show up together What it looks like to move through different fitness seasons without guilt Why balancing masculine and feminine energy matters in how you train Practical ways to assess whether your workouts are helping or hurting right now If you’ve ever felt like exercise used to feel good, now just leaves you more tired, more rigid, or more disconnected from your body. This episode will help you reframe what support actually looks like. Healing doesn’t mean giving up movement. It means learning how to move with your body again.

As we wrap up another year of deep client work, personal experimentation, and real-life learning, we wanted to talk openly about the health trends we’re seeing emerge for 2026 — not from a hype or fear-based place, but from experience, discernment, and stewardship of the body. We cover the growing role of AI in wellness, the increasing curiosity around peptides and microdosing, and why we’re seeing a strong return to simplicity, foundational health, and identity-based healing. ✨ In this episode, we talk about: Why 2026 feels like a pivot year in health and wellness How AI is being used (helpfully and unhelpfully) in health spaces Where AI can support decision-making and where it can disconnect us from intuition The rise of peptides and microdosing, and why discernment matters Common misconceptions we’re seeing around “quick fixes” Why minerals, metabolism, and nervous system regulation still matter most The shift from goal-based healing to identity-based healing How to approach new tools without abandoning the body’s wisdom If you’ve been wondering how to approach the next wave of health trends without feeling overwhelmed or pulled in every direction, this episode will help you feel more grounded and confident in how to choose what’s right for you. As always, if you want personalized guidance, we share how to join upcoming workshops and consult sessions so you can apply these ideas in a way that actually fits your body and season. Grab a cozy drink and listen in — this one feels like sitting in on a thoughtful end-of-year conversation you didn’t know you needed. 💛 Follow Me on Instagram hello@drheatherrhodes.com January Intimacy Workshop - use code FAM50 for an exclusive discount Book A Free Consult Call Sign Up for My Weekly Newsletter Connect with Leisha: Follow on Instagram Happily Hormonal Podcast https://leishadrews.com/ Thank you so much for tuning in to this episode!

Why Your Kids Are Dysregulated — and What Sex Has to Do With It | In this episode of Hormone Happy Hour, I’m connecting some dots that don’t get talked about nearly enough especially during the busy, overstimulating holiday season. We’re talking about nervous system regulation… not just in you, but in your entire household. Because the truth is, your kids don’t regulate in isolation. They’re responding to the emotional, energetic, and relational environment around them and that includes you, your partner, and the level of safety and connection in your home. I also share details about an upcoming January intimacy and nervous system–focused workshop, where we’ll go deeper into these themes with practical tools and support. Use code FAM50 for an exclusive discount! I introduce what I call the “nervous system web” which is the idea that everyone in a family system is wired together. When one piece is dysregulated, it ripples outward. And when safety, connection, and regulation are restored at the adult level, kids often follow without needing to be “fixed.” ✨ In this episode, we talk about: Why kids’ behavior is often a mirror of adult nervous system states What the “nervous system web” is and how it shows up in family life How chronic stress and survival mode affect the entire household The link between libido, safety, and regulation in women Why intimacy is a nervous system issue — not just a relationship one Masculine and feminine energy balance and how it impacts family dynamics How restoring connection at the adult level can calm the home overall Gentle, practical ways to support regulation in your body and your family This isn’t about blame. It’s about awareness, compassion, and leadership, especially for women who carry so much of the emotional load in their homes. If your home feels tense… if your kids seem dysregulated… or if intimacy feels hard right now this episode will help you understand why and what actually supports lasting change.
