Hormone Happy Hour with Dr. Heather Rhodes – Details, episodes & analysis

In this episode of the Hormone Happy Hour podcast, I am making this like 'The Secret Life of Health Class,' I dig into the essential hormones that regulate our fertility and overall hormonal health: estrogen and progesterone. Think of this as the health class we all should have gotten when we were younger, but we didn’t. I'll be clearing up common misconceptions and explaining what estrogen and progesterone actually do. From the changes that kick start puberty to the roles these hormones play in mood regulation, libido, and more, I break it all down for you. I also touch on issues like estrogen dominance, low progesterone, and why these imbalances happen. We'll unpack how common solutions like birth control can sometimes mask underlying problems. 

This episode is packed with important info you'll need for upcoming episodes on fertility frameworks, libido, and PMS. Get ready to learn what you should have been taught all along!

This week, I’m teaming up with my friend Leisha Drews, host of the Happily Hormonal Podcast, for a super real and supportive conversation about something we all face at some point—overwhelm and burnout when it comes to our health (especially our hormones).

We’re talking about: 💛 Why healing can feel so frustrating and what to do when you're stuck 🧠 How emotions like fear and anxiety actually impact your hormone balance 👩‍⚕️ The power of working with a practitioner who really gets your body + your journey 📆 How to build consistency without feeling like you have to do all the things

We’re sharing stories from our own hormone journeys and what we’ve learned from walking alongside other women who are trying to feel better—but just feel overwhelmed instead.

If you’ve ever thought “Where do I even start?” or “Why isn’t this working?”—this episode will help you feel grounded, supported, and a little less alone.
