| Well-Fed but Undernourished: What Women Need in Every Season of Life with Jessica Khourie EP367 | 20 Oct 2026 | 00:55:27 | |
Are you eating “healthy” and still feeling exhausted, hungry, inflamed, or out of sync with your body? Calories and nourishment aren’t the same thing—and women’s needs can change through pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause, and menopause. I’m joined by Jessica Khourie, founder and CEO of JOVA, to talk about the gap she saw in women’s nutrition and what led her to build a company around practical, whole-food nourishment. After years in the corporate world, Jessica set out to make nourishing choices feel simpler in real life. We talk about what undernourishment can look like, why nutrition needs to evolve through different seasons of life, and how stress, time, and decision fatigue can make healthy eating feel harder than it needs to be. We also get into smoothies: what makes one satisfying and balanced, common mistakes, and how convenience can fit into a nourishing routine. Along the way, we discuss protein, fiber, blood sugar, minerals, muscle, and the difference between feeling full and feeling nourished. And we talk about the bigger picture: nourishment also includes rest, joy, movement, connection, and caring for your nervous system. In this episode, we discuss:

| Why Doctors Dismiss Women's Symptoms (And How to Advocate for Yourself) with Dr Vandana Arcot EP366 | 13 Oct 2026 | 00:51:19 | |
Have you ever left a doctor's appointment feeling like your concerns weren't taken seriously? Maybe you were told your symptoms were normal, that your labs looked fine, or that you were simply stressed. For far too many women, this experience is all too familiar. Women are incredibly resilient. We push through exhaustion, manage the needs of everyone around us, and somehow keep going. But when did being strong become an expectation to suffer in silence? And why are women's symptoms still so often misunderstood, misdiagnosed, or dismissed? In this episode of It's Hertime, I'm joined by Dr. Vandana Arcot, a physician, global public health leader, and passionate advocate for women's health. With nearly two decades of experience working alongside organizations including UNICEF and the United Nations, Dr. Arcot has helped advance women's health across more than 13 countries. From refugee communities and rural villages to hospitals and international health organizations, she's witnessed something remarkable: regardless of where women live, they share a fundamental need to be heard, understood, and supported. Together, we're exploring the gaps in women's healthcare, why modern medicine hasn't always accounted for the unique needs of women's bodies, and what needs to change. We also talk about something I believe deserves much more attention: the hidden health cost of being the woman who carries everything. The emotional labor, the constant caregiving, the expectation to be resilient, and the physical toll of putting everyone else's needs before our own. Dr. Arcot also shares how her personal experience becoming a patient changed her perspective on medicine, compassion, and the importance of advocating for yourself. This conversation is about so much more than what's happening inside the doctor's office. It's about recognizing that your experiences matter, your symptoms deserve attention, and you have every right to ask questions, seek answers, and participate in decisions about your health. In This Episode, We Talk About:
A Reminder for Every Woman Listening Being resilient doesn't mean you have to carry everything alone. Being strong doesn't mean ignoring your symptoms. And advocating for your health doesn't make you difficult. You deserve healthcare that sees you as a whole person, listens to your experiences, and respects your voice. Your body is always communicating with you. You deserve to be heard.

| Stop Over-Optimizing Your Health: Why Doing More Isn’t Making You Healthier with Marina Moiseyeva EP365 | 06 Oct 2026 | 00:54:12 | |
What if the answer to feeling better isn’t another quick fix, biohack, wearable, test, or wellness protocol? For so many women, taking care of their health has practically become a full-time job. We’re tracking our sleep, watching our glucose, counting our protein, worrying about toxins, taking handfuls of supplements, trying the latest longevity trends—and somehow still wondering why we’re tired, overwhelmed, and not feeling like ourselves. In this episode of It’s Hertime, Cody is joined by Marina Moiseyeva, founder of Harmonious Life Family Health and author of Harmonious Healing Blueprint: Biohacking, Regeneration, and Health Resilience. Marina has spent more than 16 years working in health and wellness, with an approach that brings together functional, integrative, nutritional, regenerative, and anti-aging medicine. And her message is refreshingly simple: health isn’t about controlling every variable. It’s about building a body that can adapt, recover, and become more resilient. They talk about why women can still feel terrible even when their labs look “normal,” how seemingly healthy habits can become another source of stress, and why more testing, supplements, tracking, and optimization aren’t always the answer. They also get into the foundations that often matter more than the latest biohack—sleep, nourishment, movement, muscle, relationships, nervous-system regulation, hormones, and creating a lifestyle you can actually sustain. Marina and Cody discuss how to recognize when wellness has crossed the line from supportive to obsessive, why resilience may be a better goal than perfection, and how to simplify your approach without feeling like you’re giving up on your health. They also talk about healthy aging, hormones and longevity, environmental exposures, family health, regenerative medicine, and how to decide whether the newest peptide, supplement, therapy, or wellness trend is actually worth your time and money. Because the goal isn’t to live in a perfectly controlled bubble. The goal is to build a body that can handle real life. In this episode, they talk about:

| Why You’re Tired: Cellular Energy, Detox & the Body’s Natural Reset with Tim James EP364 | 29 Sep 2026 | 00:48:17 | |
Why do so many of us feel tired, even when we’re trying to take care of ourselves? In this episode of It’s Hertime, Cody talks with Tim James, founder of Chemical Free Body, about how the body creates energy and what may get in the way. They explore cellular energy, the difference between supporting energy and relying on stimulants, and everyday habits that can support how the body functions. Tim also shares his personal health journey and perspective on detoxification and environmental toxins. The conversation touches on fasting, too, including his experience with a 40-day juice fast and why fasting may not be the right starting point for everyone—especially women in perimenopause and menopause who are already feeling fatigued or undernourished. In this episode, you’ll hear about:

| When Success Costs You Your Health: Teresa Reile on Cancer, Oxygen & Starting Over EP363 | 22 Sep 2026 | 00:52:57 | |
What happens when the life you worked so hard to build begins costing you your health? Teresa Reile was a successful entrepreneur accustomed to pushing forward and making things happen. But after facing cancer, major surgery, personal loss, and another frightening health scare, she was forced to reconsider what success really means—and whether achievement matters if your body can no longer sustain the life you’ve created. In this episode of It’s Hertime, Teresa shares how those experiences changed her relationship with her body, her purpose, and her own well-being. She also explains how her search for answers led her to study hypoxia—the lack of adequate oxygen within the tissues—and eventually build a new mission around oxygen, resilience, and vitality. Cody and Teresa also explore the deeper meaning behind the familiar instruction to “put your own oxygen mask on first.” Because caring for yourself isn’t selfish. It’s what creates the capacity to keep showing up for the people, purpose, and life you love. In this episode, you’ll hear:
Whether you’re facing a health challenge, recovering from burnout, or realizing that your current pace is no longer sustainable, this conversation is an invitation to pause and ask: Is the life I’m building also supporting the person who has to live it? Sometimes healing doesn’t begin with doing more. It begins with listening to your body, restoring what has been depleted, and giving yourself permission to breathe again. Connect with Teresa Reile

| How Women Can Age Well, Stay Strong and Live Longer | Dr Jennifer Timmons EP362 | 15 Sep 2026 | 00:49:29 | |
Longevity is everywhere right now—but aging well isn’t simply about adding more years to your life. It’s about protecting your strength, energy, brain health, metabolic health, and ability to fully participate in the life you love. In this episode of It’s Hertime, Cody is joined by Dr. Jennifer Timmons, MD, a longevity physician and the Founder and Medical Director of Timmons Wellness. Dr. Timmons combines traditional primary care, functional medicine, precision testing, and longevity medicine to help her patients extend not only their lifespan, but their healthspan. Together, they explore what actually happens inside a woman’s body as she ages—and why menopause may be one of the most important longevity transitions of her life. Dr. Timmons explains how declining estrogen can influence cardiovascular health, bone density, muscle mass, metabolism, brain health, and immune resilience. They also discuss the biological systems that help determine how well we age, including mitochondrial function, metabolic flexibility, inflammation, hormonal communication, and muscle. This conversation goes beyond expensive biohacks and complicated wellness routines. It’s about understanding which foundational habits, health screenings, biomarkers, and personalized decisions can help your body continue to adapt, recover, repair, and support the life you want to live. In this episode, we cover: • The difference between lifespan and healthspan • What healthy aging actually looks like inside the body • Why menopause is an important longevity transition • How estrogen affects the brain, heart, bones, muscles, metabolism, and immune system • What separates a vibrant 75-year-old from someone struggling at 55 • Why muscle is one of the most important organs for women’s longevity • How chronic stress affects hormones, repair, recovery, and metabolic health • The roles of mitochondrial health, inflammation, and metabolic flexibility • How genetics, lifestyle, environment, and hormones influence aging • Important longevity biomarkers, including ApoB, lipoprotein(a), fasting insulin, and hs-CRP • What DEXA scans, coronary calcium scores, grip strength, and VO₂ max can reveal • Which longevity tests may be useful—and which may be oversold • What biohacking gets right and where it can become unnecessarily complicated • Why the fundamentals still matter more than any supplement, wearable, peptide, or wellness trend • The choices women can begin making today to support a longer, stronger, and healthier life Aging isn’t something we need to fear. It’s something we can thoughtfully prepare for. The choices we make today help shape not only how long we live, but how strong, capable, connected, and fully alive we feel throughout those years.

| Peptides for Women: What’s Real, What’s Hype & What Actually Works with Bria Gadd EP361 | 08 Sep 2026 | 00:58:22 | |
Peptides are everywhere right now—but are they truly the future of women’s health, or just another wellness trend? In this episode of It’s Hertime, Cody is joined once again by Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, women’s hormone expert, and peptide educator Bria Gadd. Together, we break down what peptides actually are, how they work in the body, and how to know whether they may be the right tool for you. Together they talk about GLP-1 medications like Semaglutide, Tirzepatide, and Retatrutide—and why using them well involves so much more than simply losing weight. We also explore peptides being used for healing and recovery, mitochondrial health, healthy aging, skin, hair, libido, and hormone support. Most importantly, this conversation isn’t about finding another shortcut. Peptides can be powerful tools, but they cannot replace nourishing your body, protecting your muscle, managing stress, getting enough sleep, and building a lifestyle that supports your health. In this episode, we cover: • What peptides are and why they’re suddenly everywhere • How peptides differ from hormones and traditional medications • Who may—or may not—be a good candidate • Semaglutide, Tirzepatide, and Retatrutide beyond weight loss • How to protect muscle while using a GLP-1 • Peptides for recovery, longevity, skin, hair, and libido • Why lifestyle and nervous-system regulation still matter • Potential risks, side effects, and the importance of medical supervision • How to recognize a trustworthy provider and high-quality source • Where peptide therapy may be headed next in women’s medicine Curious about peptides and want personalized guidance?

| Are Your Cells Getting Enough Oxygen? The Missing Link to Energy, Inflammation & Healing with Brad Pitzele EP360 | 01 Sep 2026 | 00:53:05 | |
What if you’re doing all the “right” things for your health—eating well, exercising, taking supplements—and you’re still tired, inflamed, foggy, or struggling to recover? The missing piece might be more fundamental than another supplement or wellness protocol. It might be oxygen. In this episode of It’s Hertime, Cody sits down with Brad Pitzele, founder of One Thousand Roads, to explore the connection between oxygen, mitochondrial function, cellular energy, inflammation, recovery, and healthy aging. Brad didn’t come to this work because he was looking for his next business idea. He was trying to get his life back. After facing autoimmune arthritis, Lyme disease, Bartonella, debilitating fatigue, brain fog, chronic pain, and malignant melanoma, Brad began looking beyond symptom management and became deeply interested in what was happening at the cellular level. His journey eventually led him to Exercise With Oxygen Therapy (EWOT) and red and near-infrared light therapy—and ultimately to founding One Thousand Roads. (One Thousand Roads) In this conversation, Cody and Brad break down something most of us rarely think about: it’s not enough to simply breathe oxygen. Our bodies also have to deliver it and our cells have to be able to use it. They explore how oxygen participates in mitochondrial energy production, why someone can have a normal pulse-ox reading while still asking different questions about oxygen delivery and utilization, and what chronic inflammation, circulation, aging, and metabolic health may have to do with the bigger picture. Brad also explains EWOT—Exercise With Oxygen Therapy, which combines exercise with breathing concentrated oxygen to increase oxygen delivery during increased metabolic demand. (Dr. Haley) In this episode, we talk about: • Brad’s personal journey through autoimmune disease, Lyme, Bartonella, melanoma, chronic pain, and fatigue • Why oxygen is so important for mitochondrial function and ATP production • The difference between blood oxygen saturation and cellular oxygen utilization • Why you can have a “normal” pulse oximeter reading and still have more to consider about cellular energy • What EWOT is and what an actual session looks like • Why exercise is paired with concentrated oxygen • EWOT vs. hyperbaric oxygen therapy • How red and near-infrared light interact with mitochondrial pathways • Why Brad combines red light therapy with EWOT • Oxygen, circulation, inflammation, recovery, and healthy aging • The potential relevance for women dealing with fatigue, metabolic changes, exercise intolerance, perimenopause, and menopause • What researchers are learning about hypoxia and the tumor microenvironment—and why supportive therapies should never be confused with cancer treatment • Where EWOT fits alongside sauna, cold exposure, breathwork, exercise, red light, and other popular biohacking tools • Simple ways to support oxygen delivery and cardiovascular health without buying any equipment One of the biggest takeaways from this conversation is that sometimes we become so focused on finding the next supplement, medication, biohack, or protocol that we overlook the foundational systems our bodies depend on every second of every day. Because before your body can repair, recover, adapt, or create energy, your cells need the raw materials—and the ability to use them. This conversation will make you think about energy and healing in an entirely different way.

| The Art of Finding Yourself Again: From Cancer to Canvas with Nerissa Balland EP359 | 25 Aug 2026 | 01:03:29 | |
What happens when you survive the thing that changed your life—but no longer recognize the woman on the other side? In this episode of It’s Hertime, Cody sits down with artist, author, and therapeutic arts practitioner Nerissa Balland, whose life changed when she was diagnosed with cancer while five months pregnant. During treatment, survival became the priority. But when treatment ended, another kind of healing began: figuring out who she was now. That experience eventually led Nerissa to speak with more than 100 young mothers facing cancer. Their stories became the inspiration for her book, Canvas of Courage: The Art of Healing, Hope, and Gratitude for Young Mothers Facing Cancer, which brings together 19 personal stories, research, lived experience, and original artwork. But this conversation is about more than cancer. Cody and Nerissa explore what happens to our identity when life changes us, why functioning and healing aren’t necessarily the same thing, and how creativity can help us express and process experiences we may not have words for. They talk about survivorship, motherhood, fear, resilience, grief, gratitude, and the strange question so many women eventually find themselves asking: Who am I now? Because cancer isn’t the only thing that can change us. Motherhood changes us. And perhaps healing isn’t always about getting back to the woman we used to be. Sometimes it’s about discovering who we’re becoming. In this episode, you’ll hear about Nerissa’s experience of navigating cancer while pregnant, what she learned from interviewing more than 100 mothers, why the end of medical treatment doesn’t necessarily mean the end of healing, how illness and major life transitions can disrupt identity, why creative expression can reach places conversation sometimes cannot, and how to better support someone we love through cancer or another life-altering diagnosis. Nerissa’s work today sits at the intersection of creativity, resilience, identity, and therapeutic arts, using creative practices to help people process difficult experiences and reconnect with themselves.

| Can Your Body Carry the Life You Want? with Amanda Soukoulis EP358 | 18 Aug 2026 | 01:03:10 | |
You can have big dreams, a full life, a career you love, a family you care deeply about, and goals you’re excited to chase—but does your body have the capacity to carry it all? In this episode of It’s Hertime, I sit down with Amanda Soukoulis to talk about what happens when our ambition begins to outpace our biology. High-performing women are really good at pushing through. We override exhaustion, ignore symptoms, run on stress hormones, and convince ourselves we just need to try harder. Until eventually, our body starts asking for our attention. But the answer isn’t to become less ambitious or shrink the life we want. It’s to build a body that can support it. Amanda shares the health crash that completely changed the way she thinks about female performance and why symptoms like fatigue, poor sleep, hormone changes, inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, and burnout may actually be signs that the load we’re carrying has exceeded our capacity. We also get into some of my favorite topics: female hormones, perimenopause, nervous system regulation, mitochondrial health, metabolic health, muscle, recovery, peptides, GLP-1 medications, retatrutide, longevity, and precision medicine. IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Why high-achieving women can be especially vulnerable to burnout The subtle signs your body may be struggling long before you “crash” What happens when ambition outpaces your biology Why you may not need more discipline—you may need more capacity How chronic stress impacts hormones, metabolism, inflammation, mitochondria, sleep, and energy Why adapting to stress isn’t the same thing as being healthy How nervous system regulation and recovery affect female performance Why women shouldn’t simply copy biohacking strategies designed around male physiology How perimenopause changes hormones, metabolism, muscle, sleep, energy, and recovery What women should know about peptides, GLP-1 medications, and retatrutide Why protecting and building muscle is so important for women Why peptides, medications, and supplements can’t replace the foundations of health How precision medicine can help us stop guessing and start listening to what our bodies actually need If you’re a woman carrying a lot right now, I hope this episode changes the question from: “How can I push harder?” to: “How can I better support the body carrying all of this?” Because your body isn’t standing between you and the life you want. It’s the vehicle that allows you to live it. CONNECT WITH AMANDA SOUKOULIS Instagram: @amandasouks

| How to Heal Without Pretending You're Okay | Dr. Cristi Bundukamara EP357 | 11 Aug 2026 | 00:55:30 | |
At some point, life changes all of us. Maybe you've experienced the loss of someone you love, divorce, burnout, a frightening diagnosis, children leaving home, menopause, or simply woke up one day and realized you didn't recognize yourself anymore. People often tell us to "be strong," but very few teach us what mental strength actually looks like. In this heartfelt episode of It's Hertime, Cody Jean Sanders sits down with psychiatric nurse practitioner, Army veteran, retired Navy Reserve Commander, author, and creator of the Mentally STRONG Method, Dr. Cristi Bundukamara (Dr. B), for a conversation about grief, burnout, emotional resilience, and healing after life's hardest seasons. After experiencing unimaginable personal loss—including the loss of three children and her husband—Dr. B combined her professional expertise with her own journey through grief to develop a practical framework that helps people move forward without pretending they're okay. Today, she teaches thousands of people how to build genuine mental strength through practical, everyday tools rooted in both clinical psychology and lived experience. In this episode, we discuss:

| The Health Rules That Are Making You Less Healthy with Dr. John Douillard EP356 | 04 Aug 2026 | 00:59:43 | |
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

| The Hormone Mistakes Even Healthy Women Are Making with Dr. Sirisha Vidali EP355 | 28 Jul 2026 | 01:07:22 | |
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:
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. About Our Guest Dr. Sirisha Vadali is a board-certified cardiologist, advanced lipidologist, and Program Director of Honor Health's Cardiometabolic Program. Having cared for more than 120,000 patients, she is passionate about prevention and helping women better understand the connection between metabolic health, hormones, cardiovascular disease, and longevity.

| You Don’t Have to Feel Old: Lessons from Dr. Jerry Mixon, an 80-Year-Old Longevity Doctor EP354 | 21 Jul 2026 | 00:58:54 | |
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:
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.

| Beyond "Normal": Why You're Still Sick When Your Labs Look Fine with Dr. Jade Guerra EP353 | 14 Jul 2026 | 01:04:26 | |
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:
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.

| How the Body Decides What Gets Energy: The Hidden Resource Economy Behind Hormones, Fertility & Healing with Nick Dorsey EP352 | 07 Jul 2026 | 00:52:45 | |
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 Connect with Nick Learn more about Nick’s work at Functional Chemistry. Follow Nick on Instagram: @nick.dorsey10 You can also find him on YouTube: Functional Chemistry. Visit Nick's Website and Quiz Want to Go Deeper? Connect with Cody 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. If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who needs to hear this conversation. 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.

| The Hidden Nerve Connection: Could Compression Be Driving Chronic Disease? with Dr. Jacoby EP351 | 30 Jun 2026 | 00:58:03 | |
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.

| Food Isn’t the Problem: What Women Are Really Hungry For with Amber Caudle EP350 | 23 Jun 2026 | 00:58:26 | |
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:
About Amber Caudle Amber Caudle is a food relationship coach, chef, nervous system healing practitioner, and founder of Nourish Your Power. Through her coaching work, she helps women heal their relationship with food by addressing the deeper emotional, behavioral, and nervous system patterns that often drive food struggles.

| The 5 Stages of Time Freedom | A Roadmap From Burnout to Flow with Dr. Anne Tsung EP349 | 16 Jun 2026 | 01:05:11 | |
Why do so many successful women still feel overwhelmed, exhausted, and trapped by the very lives they've worked so hard to build? Many women assume they need better time management, more discipline, or a more efficient schedule. But according to Dr. Ann Tsung, the real issue may not be time at all. In this episode, Cody sits down with NASA Flight Surgeon, triple-board-certified physician, entrepreneur, and founder of Productivity MD, Dr. Ann Tsung, to explore her powerful framework: The 5 Stages of Time Freedom℠. Drawing from her experience as a physician, mother, entrepreneur, and high performer—and the lessons she learned during a 1.5-year sabbatical from NASA—Dr. Tsung explains why so many ambitious women feel stuck despite their success and how they can begin creating a life that feels more aligned, intentional, and free. Together, they discuss productivity, people-pleasing, boundaries, flow states, energy management, and the hidden beliefs that keep women trapped in cycles of overwhelm. If you've ever felt like you're carrying everything, constantly checking boxes, and still wondering why you don't feel free, this conversation will give you a new way to think about success, time, and what truly matters.

| The Fitness Advice Women Need (But Rarely Hear) | Strength, Metabolism & Aging Well with Ariana Hakman EP348 | 09 Jun 2026 | 00:53:59 | |
Most women have spent years hearing the same fitness advice: Eat less. But what happens when you're doing all the "right" things and your body still isn't responding the way it used to? In this episode, Cody sits down with Ariana Hakman, Founder and COO of LunaFit, to discuss what women really need to know about fitness, muscle, metabolism, recovery, and aging well.

| Looking Upstream: The Root Cause of Hormone, Thyroid & Metabolic Issues with Deborah Maragopoulos EP347 | 02 Jun 2026 | 01:05:09 | |
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.

| The Gut Health Episode Every Woman Needs ft. “The Poop Fairy” Marina Ortega EP346 | 26 May 2026 | 00:51:27 | |

| Your Body Remembers Everything | The Mind-Body Connection with Dr. Anne Dunev EP345 | 19 May 2026 | 01:00:23 | |
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:
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.

| Why You're Still Tired, Inflamed and Not Losing Weight (Even When You're Doing Everything "Right") with Annie Yatch EP342 | 28 Apr 2026 | 00:44:27 | |
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. ⸻ 🔗 Resources & Links Learn more about Annie Yatch: Follow Annie on Instagram: Support your hormones with Hertime: Explore Cody’s CALM Program (join the waitlist): Follow Cody on Instagram: ⸻ Loved This Episode?

| What If the Air You're Breathing Is Affecting Your Fertility? with Dr. Kathryn Worrilow EP340 | 14 Apr 2026 | 00:54:56 | |
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. ⸻ Connect with Dr. Kathryn Worrilow & LifeAire Systems: •Website: https://lifeaire.com •Learn more about their air purification technology for healthcare and fertility clinics ⸻ Work With Cody: If you’re ready to better understand what your body has been trying to tell you, Cody offers personalized testing and support through her private practice. •HTMA Mineral Testing + Coaching •Functional lab testing (hormones, metabolism, nutrients) •1:1 support for women navigating hormone imbalances, perimenopause, and menopause Email her at cody@mixhers.com ⸻ Mixhers: Support your hormones, energy, and metabolism with clean, effective supplements designed for women.

| PMDD, Mood Swings & Low Libido Explained— with Laura Federico and Morgan Miller, Authors of The Cycle Book EP339 | 07 Apr 2026 | 00:59:13 | |
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.

| Heavy Periods & Fatigue? Your Iron Might Be “Stuck”—Not Low with Samantha Chandler EP338 | 31 Mar 2026 | 00:49:25 | |
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 ⸻ Resources & Links Learn more about Samantha Chandler wellnesswomb.com: Follow Samantha on Instagram @wellnesswomb_ Work with Cody (HTMA + Hormone Support) Mixhers Supplements (Use code CODY for 15% off): ⸻ If This Episode Resonated: Share it with a woman who’s been told “everything looks normal”… but doesn’t feel like herself.

| Should You Be Eating for Your Ancestry? The Truth About Personalized Nutrition with Neha Shah EP337 | 24 Mar 2026 | 00:50:59 | |
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?” ⸻ 🔗 LINKS & RESOURCES ✨ Connect on instagram with Neha Shah: Website: https://diasporanutrition.com ✨ Work with Cody / Join the CALM waitlist: Join the CALM Body Reset Waitlist ✨ Explore Mixhers (15% off with code CODY): Did you learn something new today?

| Bioidentical Hormone Therapy Explained: What Women 40+ Need to Know About HRT | Dr. Melissa Miskell EP336 | 17 Mar 2026 | 00:42:41 | |
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.

| The Menopause Care Gap: Why Women 40+ Feel Dismissed by Medicine | Dana Culp EP335 | 10 Mar 2026 | 00:56:00 | |
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. ⸻ Connect with Dana Culp Learn more about Dana’s work and clinics: ⸻ Work With Cody Sanders If you’re navigating hormone shifts, metabolic changes, or feeling exhausted and inflamed in midlife, Cody’s CALM Body Reset program helps women restore energy, regulate their nervous system, and rebalance their hormones through personalized nutrition, lifestyle strategies, and lab interpretation.

| When Strong Women Feel Disconnected (and How They Find Their Way Back) with Aubin Palmer EP334 | 03 Mar 2026 | 00:43:27 | |
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 This episode is especially for women who: •Feel torn between caring for others and caring for themselves •Are navigating postpartum, burnout, or identity shifts •Have been told they’re “doing great” but don’t feel like themselves •Are craving reconnection, clarity, and emotional steadiness •Want to feel seen and understood in this season of life ⸻ Resources & Links Connect with Aubin Palmer: Website ⸻ Work with Cody Women ready for deeper, personalized support can learn more about Cody’s CALM Body Reset, a functional, root-cause approach designed to help women 40+ move from exhausted and inflamed to calm, energized, and clear through labs, nervous system support, and metabolic healing.

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 ⸻ About Dr. Evan Hirsch (EnergyMD) 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.

| Your Body Isn’t Broken — It’s Overloaded: The Nervous System Truth Behind Chronic Fatigue & Burnout with Miguel Bautista EP332 | 17 Feb 2026 | 00:53:14 | |
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. _________ Connect with Miguel Bautista: Free Gifts: Recovery Stage Identifier and Personalized Recovery Report ⸻ CALM Body Reset with Cody Sanders CALM Body Reset, a 6-week program designed to help women 40+ move from exhausted and inflamed to steady, energized, and clear.

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.

| When Your Body Stops Responding: How to Understand What It’s Asking for Next with Katie Hardie EP328 | 20 Jan 2026 | 00:58:26 | |
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. ⸻ Connect with Katie: •Learn more about her work through My PEAK ⸻ 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.

| Being a Woman Shouldn’t Feel Like a Full-Time Job: How to Simplify Hormonal Health in the New Year EP325 | 23 Dec 2025 | 00:17:35 | |
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.

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.
