| Reclaiming Your Thyroid Naturally: Healing Graves’, Hashimoto’s & Autoimmunity with Dr. Eric Osansky EP308 | 26 Aug 2025 | 00:52:51 | |
So many women struggle with thyroid issues—and yet these conditions are still misunderstood, underdiagnosed, and often mistreated. Fatigue, weight changes, anxiety, brain fog, heart palpitations—these symptoms are brushed off or medicated without ever asking the most important question: why is this happening? In this empowering episode, I sit down with Dr. Eric Osansky, functional medicine practitioner, author, and host of the Save My Thyroid podcast. After achieving remission from Graves’ disease himself, Dr. Osansky has devoted his life to helping others heal thyroid and autoimmune conditions naturally—by addressing root causes, not just symptoms. Together, we dive into: •Why autoimmune thyroid dysfunction is so often missed or misunderstood •The biggest root causes and triggers behind Graves’ and Hashimoto’s—and why that distinction matters •Functional and natural approaches that support real thyroid healing •The crucial roles of gut and liver health in reversing autoimmunity •Myths, mistakes, and the most important labs to request if you suspect thyroid issues •The message every woman with a thyroid condition needs to hear This conversation is about reclaiming your power, your health, and your life. If you’ve ever been told your thyroid is “just fine” when you know something is off—or if you’ve been left feeling hopeless after a diagnosis—this episode will give you the clarity, tools, and hope you’ve been waiting for. ⸻ ✨ Resources & Links •Learn more about Dr. Eric Osansky’s work and podcast: Save My Thyroid •Grab his books and thyroid healing resources at Natural Endocrine Solutions •Follow me on Instagram for more women’s hormone health support: @codyjeansanders * Use Code: Cody for a special listener discount on all Mixhers products •Subscribe to the It’s Hertime podcast so you never miss an empowering conversation!

| Is Birth Control Bad For Your Gut? EP218 | 07 Nov 2023 | 00:21:32 | |
Antibiotics, stress, and a poor diet get a lot of attention when it comes to factors that can negatively impact the health of our gut. But did you know that using hormonal birth control can be equally as damaging to our gut health? The connection between gut health and hormonal birth control isn’t widely known. Women are so often blindly prescribed The Pill, without ever knowing the potential side effects it can have on their health. Especially the health of their gut. Which is why Cody is diving into this topic today, to talk about a few of the main ways that using hormonal birth control can impact the health of our gut. Did you learn something new today?

| Breast Cancer: Awareness Into Action with Corrine Ellsworth Beaumont EP216 | 24 Oct 2023 | 00:46:33 | |
Breast cancer awareness is important, but breast cancer awareness put into action is an even more powerful prevention and treatment tool. As women, we deserve to feel empowered through easily accessible education. When discovered in its earliest stage, breast cancer survival rates are nearly 100%. When symptoms chronically go unnoticed, however, the odds of overcoming late stage breast cancer are nearly insurmountable. That’s the vital difference between early and late detection. And, most often, it’s a distinction that comes down to knowledge and education — which is where Corrine’s organization gets its hands dirty creating powerful designs that educate, empower, and transcend.

| 28 Days vs 24 Hours – A Big Way Women and Men Differ Day to Day EP215 | 17 Oct 2023 | 00:23:06 | |
Some weeks you’re on - you’re crushing it at work, you’re killing it in the gym, and you have energy after work to meet up with friends or to engage in leisure activities you love. But other weeks? Not so much. You have to drag yourself out of bed, you feel like you’re phoning it in at work and during workouts, and after work, you crash on the sofa and stare at the ceiling. If that describes you, you’re probably (and rightfully) frustrated by these swings in mood, productivity, and energy. And being the wickedly intelligent woman that you are, you’ve probably set out to try to fix them. Maybe you’ve tried to journal or a to-do list app. Maybe you bought an inspiring day planner, hoping that the beautiful pages would zap you into action. Maybe you read one of the million books out there on time management or productivity secrets. . But none of those things have worked—or will work in the future. Why? Because traditional time management strategies don’t work for women. On today's episode, Cody talks about how these external “solutions” force us to follow the 24-hour circadian cycle and they ignore a woman’s natural, 28-day hormone clock. We’ve been taught to plan our lives on the 24-hour circadian schedule, which works well for men—but not for women. With most time management systems, we’re expected to make to-do lists, check things off as the day goes by, and then wake up the next day and repeat. Every day, every 24 hours, the same thing. But when women are forced to function as if their natural 28-day hormone clock doesn’t exist, we miss out on the superpower granted to us by our hormones. Did you learn something new today?

| Setting Healthy Boundaries For a Happy Life! with Susie Pettit EP214 | 10 Oct 2023 | 00:50:13 | |
We all need to set them—on today's episode we talk about what that means to set healthy boundaries and how to do it right. Susie is passionate about helping women live lives that feel as good on the inside as they look on the outside. She spent more than half her life living a life she did not love; as a people pleaser and codependent perfectionist. She reflects that it’s as if she was trying to win an award for ‘Martyr of the Year’. Luckily she hit rock bottom and now has the breadth of experience to teach first hand about setting healthy boundaries, beating your inner critic, conscious parenting, and how to use mindfulness-based tools to beat overwhelm and anxiety. She uses two foundational frameworks: Her 5 Pillars of Wellness and the Thought Model.

Do you ever feel like you've been filling your tank, but you're still running on empty? Do you wake up feeling groggy, like you have a hangover, but without the fun memories of the night before? You’re sure you just spent the work evening as usual, sat on the sofa binge watching every single episode of your new favorite show until late.

Allison had a personal 10+ year chronic/mystery illness battle that ultimately lead her to change careers and pursue formal education in functional nutrition.

| ADHD and Hormones EP209 | 05 Sep 2023 | 00:24:18 | |
ADHD in adult women has increased dramatically over the last couple of years. Sometimes the diagnosis is missed when a woman is young, and she’s diagnosed later in life. Other times ADHD is misdiagnosed as anxiety, depression, PMS. Or symptoms are simply overlooked because ADHD presents differently in women compared with men. In addition, symptoms of ADHD in women might exacerbate during times of hormonal fluctuation, either throughout the monthly cycle or during a particular life phase such as puberty, pregnancy, or menopause. If you have ADHD, or have a woman in your life who does, you may have asked these questions:
Cody answers these questions and so much more in today's episode. Once we understand our hormones, and the changes they undergo, we can begin to see the connection with our symptoms.

The postpartum time is a roller-coaster period for women’s hormones, to say the least. You just grew a tiny human, which consumed a lot of your body’s resources.

| Personal Growth Looks Good On You! with Gina Trimmer EP198 | 20 Jun 2023 | 01:03:51 | |
So many women look at personal growth & development as another thing to prove their worthiness. But real growth is about letting go of what no longer serves us. It is about removing burdens, obligations, and misperceptions of our worth. When we remove what is no longer needed, we create space to manifest what we want, focus on the things that matter, and fully enjoy our life and work. And there are a lot of things we carry around that we no longer need: beliefs, behaviors, unworthy thinking, relationships, unhelpful habits, burdens, and more. Personal growth & development for women is about “doing” and “being” less, not more. They settled back down in Utah while Gina was pregnant with her youngest son, but they have plans to begin traveling long-term again in July 2023! Gina documented her travels on her wildly popular IG @pure.imperfection. She has recently transitioned to the Podcaster life and you can find her podcast IG at @revitalizedwomanhood. Gina is passionate about personal development, creating community, and empowering women. She is the founder of Revitalized Womanhood, which aims to promote all three of these ideals and so much more.

| Is The MTHFR Gene Mutation Messing With You? with Phil's My Pharmacist EP188 | 11 Apr 2023 | 00:53:12 | |
Genes are the specific instructions that make you who you are. They are sections of DNA, your body’s master manual, and at the latest estimate, there are around 20,000 genes in the human genome. But genes, like humans, are imperfect, and often have mutations or variations that can cause everything from eye color to hair curl to whether you can curl your tongue. These mutations can also predispose you to certain health conditions and diseases, cause you to metabolize medications too quickly or too slowly, and mess with the way your body manages complex biochemical processes, including enzyme production. One of those genes, called the MTHFR gene, can have a mutation that can specifically interfere with your ability to absorb certain vitamins and detox the body efficiently. About 40% of us have this mutation, and it can predispose you to health issues. Phil Cowley, is a real life pharmacist, who is stepping out from behind the counter and is showing up all over Instagram and TikTok! He’s getting attention for his simple and straight-forward pharmaceutical hacks. He’s informational, he’s inspirational, he’s our friendly social media pharmacist! He knows a lot about many health issues, but personally knows the importance of understanding the MTHFR gene mutation, because it has had an impact on he and his wives ability to conceive.
