| 2. What Your Health Class Didn’t to Teach You About Hormones | The Basics of Hormone Health for Women | 24 Feb 2025 | 00:34:51 | |
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!

| 13. What You Haven’t Been Told About Hair Mineral Testing & What’s Really Going On Beneath the Surface | 12 May 2025 | 00:40:28 | |
What Your Minerals Are Trying to Tell You (And Why a Hair Test Might Just Be the Missing Link) In this episode, we’re continuing our functional lab testing series with one of my absolute favorite tools: the Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) test. I know lab testing can feel a little overwhelming—especially when you’ve been told everything looks “normal” but you still don’t feel right. That’s where HTMA comes in. We’re diving into: 🧠 How minerals influence everything—your metabolism, energy, stress response, and organ function 🌿 Why blood work isn’t always the whole picture (and why mineral testing goes deeper) 💥 What it means when symptoms show up on the surface—but the root cause is hiding underneath 🌸 How emotional and spiritual health tie into physical balance 📋 Real-life examples from clients who’ve used HTMA to get answers and finally feel like themselves again I’m breaking it all down in simple, clear language—and sharing why this test is one of the most affordable, insightful ways to understand what your body’s really asking for. We also end the episode with a little blessing—because your words hold power, and I want this to be a space where you feel encouraged, equipped, and seen. If you’ve been feeling off, stuck, or are just curious about what’s going on under the surface you are going to love this episode.Because healing isn’t just about treating symptoms—it’s about understanding the story your body is telling you.

This episode kicks off a brand new mini-series all about functional lab testing—because when it comes to hormones, fertility, and overall wellness, your body is speaking… we just need to know how to listen. I’m breaking down the three main tests I recommend most often to my clients: 🧪 The Dutch Test – for understanding hormone pathways and stress patterns 🧲 The HTMA (Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis) – to track mineral movement and how your body is really handling stress 🩸 The Full Monty Iron Panel – to get the full picture of how your iron levels are impacting everything from fatigue to fertility We’ll also talk about: ✨ Why conventional labs often miss the full story ✨ The importance of strong foundations (before you spend $$$ on testing!) ✨ How I use these results to create truly personalized, root-cause protocols If you’ve been wondering whether lab testing is right for you—or you’ve had tests done but still feel stuck—this episode will help you feel way more clear and confident about what’s next.

| 11. TTC Again? Secondary Fertility Struggles Are Real—Here’s Where to Start | 28 Apr 2025 | 00:38:09 | |
This week on Hormone Happy Hour, I’m coming to you from a much calmer space after the whirlwind of moving (finally!) and I’m reflecting on what it looks like to balance the ministry of motherhood with the personal callings we’re each uniquely given.In the second half of the episode, we’re diving into something that’s close to home for so many women—secondary fertility struggles. If you’ve ever thought, “It was easy before… why not now?” — you’re not alone. We talk through: ✨ Why your cycles may feel off or inconsistent after pregnancy 🧠 The role stress and nervous system dysregulation play in your hormones 💧 How mineral depletion and physical burnout impact ovulation 🙏 The importance of aligning your spiritual walk with your physical healing I’m also sharing details about my free upcoming training: “Get Pregnant Again”—where we’ll go even deeper into the hidden factors that might be delaying fertility and, most importantly, what you can start doing about it. This episode is part teaching, part heart-share—and I hope it reminds you that you’re not alone in this in-between.

| 16. The Role of Energy in Fertility & Healing: Why Your Frequency Matters More Than You Think | 02 Jun 2025 | 00:45:14 | |
In this episode of the Hormone Happy Hour podcast, we’re digging into something that often gets overlooked in the fertility and hormone conversation: energy. Not just "I need a nap" kind of energy—but the actual frequency your body operates on and how it affects everything from hormone production to blood flow to your ability to heal. And this isn’t your typical woo-woo conversation about energy. ✨ Inside this episode:
I also share some exciting updates, including new hormone-supportive mocktail & cocktail recipes I’ll be sharing weekly (yes, they’re just as fun as they sound 🍹) and why you’ll want to be on the newsletter list for first dibs. 🌿 Whether you’re TTC or just trying to feel more vibrant and aligned in your body, this episode is full of tangible takeaways to help you reconnect with your healing power. hello@drheatherrhodes.com https://www.drheatherrhodes.com/ Sign Up for My Weekly Newsletter

| 15. Decoding Functional Lab Testing: The Full Monty Iron Panel | 26 May 2025 | 00:36:50 | |
Welcome back to Hormone Happy Hour! In today’s episode, we’re closing out the functional lab testing series with a powerful (and often overlooked) topic: iron and copper regulation. Let’s be real—most of us weren’t taught how these minerals work together, and understanding them can be a game changer for your energy, mood, and overall hormone health. Here’s what we’re chatting about: 💡 Why iron issues are usually more about poor movement than too much 💡 How copper plays a critical role in oxygen delivery, energy, and inflammation 💡 What the Full Monty Iron Panel actually shows you (and why it's SO much more helpful than a basic iron test) 💡 How symptoms like fatigue, anxiety, or even fertility struggles can connect back to mineral imbalance 💡 The emotional and spiritual layers behind what’s happening in the body—and how tuning into those can support real healing 💡 Simple ways to shift your diet, routines, and awareness to support mineral balance This episode is an invitation to start seeing your body with more clarity and curiosity. When we understand what’s going on under the surface, we can finally give our body the support it’s been asking for. hello@drheatherrhodes.com https://www.drheatherrhodes.com/

I’ve walked through my own struggles with insomnia and restless nights, and I know how defeating it can feel when your body just won’t rest—even when you’re doing “all the right things.” So today, I’m walking you through the real connection between sleep and your hormones—how it affects your libido, intimacy, fertility, stress, and even gut health.

In this episode of Hormone Happy Hour, we’re exploring a topic that deserves more depth, nuance, and support: female libido. Low desire is often brushed off or misunderstood—but the truth is, your body is always speaking. And when it comes to libido, there’s usually more going on beneath the surface. We’ll look at libido through the lens of emotional health, hormone balance, spiritual alignment, and nervous system support, and I’ll share what I’ve seen work (and what might be keeping you stuck).

In this episode of Hormone Happy Hour, I’m bringing attention to a piece of the fertility puzzle that’s often ignored: sperm health. So often, the focus is solely on the woman’s body—but male fertility plays a huge role in outcomes, whether you’re preparing your body for pregnancy or working to restore balance first. There’s a lot more to it than just sperm count, and today we’re getting into all the layers. I’m walking you through:

| 43. How to Have Better Sex When You Have Low Progesterone | Understanding the Physical, Emotional & Spiritual Roots of Low Libido | 08 Dec 2025 | 00:56:37 | |
This week’s episode of Hormone Happy Hour is definitely a spicy one, we’re talking libido, intimacy, connection, and what’s actually going on when your sex drive feels low, inconsistent, or completely missing. I walk through the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual pieces that make up a healthy libido. Everything from low progesterone and estrogen dominance to nervous system overload, mineral depletion, and the patterns that quietly shut down desire. We also explore how intimacy itself can play a healing role in your hormones and your nervous system (yes, God really designed this whole thing with purpose). This is one of those episodes that will help you understand your body on a deeper level, breathe easier, and feel less alone in what you’re experiencing. ✨ Here’s what we unpack together:

| 42. How Minerals & Failure Will Absolutely Change Your 2026 | 01 Dec 2025 | 00:42:11 | |
This week on Hormone Happy Hour, I’m sharing a little post–Black Friday debrief (because whew… the online chaos was a lot), and why I’m more committed than ever to keeping this space peaceful, intentional, and supportive for you. Then we dive into something I’ve been thinking about deeply: how to actually prepare your body, mind, and spirit for the goals you want to pursue in the new year. We talk about why clarity matters, what a “failure mindset” really means (not what you think!), and how imagination plays a very real role in your ability to follow through. I also share why capacity — emotional, physical, mineral, and spiritual — matters more than motivation when it comes to sustainable change. ✨ Inside this episode:
Whether your focus is weight loss, hormone support, fertility, or simply feeling more like yourself, this episode will help you enter the new year with more peace, more grounding, and way more alignment. hello@drheatherrhodes.com https://www.drheatherrhodes.com/ Sign Up for My Weekly Newsletter Why You’re Not in Perimenopause Episode Follow Jammie Baker and Check Out Her Style Society

| 33. Feeling Stuck or Plateaued? How to Clear Blocked Energy & Restore Your Body’s Rhythm | 29 Sep 2025 | 00:42:26 | |
Plateaus aren’t problems to punish - its a message. In this week’s episode of Hormone Happy Hour, we’re diving into what it really means to feel “stuck” and, more importantly, how to get things unstuck. I’m sharing how your body, mind, and spirit are deeply connected—and why addressing the spiritual and emotional layers of your health matters just as much as the physical. We’ll talk about how stagnant energy can show up in your hormones, what your lymphatic system has to do with detox and vitality, and how small mindset shifts can open the door to big transformation. ✨ Here’s what we get into together:
One of the overlooked keys to healing isn’t forcing your way through—it’s finding where things are blocked, realigning with your design, and letting God’s renewal flow through your whole self.

| 32. All About Autoimmunity, Hashimoto’s, and the Overlooked Healing Layers | 22 Sep 2025 | 00:45:28 | |
Fall is here, and I’m soaking it all in — cozy drinks, crisp air, and maybe even planning a little NYC adventure this season. But beyond the fall vibes, I want to dig into something that comes up a lot in conversations with women: Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. So many women are being told they have Hashimoto’s without really understanding what that means — or what to do next. In this episode of the Hormone Happy Hour, we’re unpacking: how the thyroid actually works, why gut health is so closely tied to autoimmune conditions, and what emotional + spiritual layers are often overlooked in thyroid healing. ✨ Here’s what we dive into together:
If you’ve ever wondered whether your thyroid symptoms are “just something you have to live with,” this episode will give you a new perspective (and hopefully, some peace of mind).

| 31. Bioenergetic Labs: Wish You Could Find What's Blocking Your Healing? You Can with This! | 15 Sep 2025 | 00:40:45 | |
I’ve been learning about a new functional testing tool that’s totally shifting the way I look at what’s keeping women from healing — and I couldn’t wait to bring it to you here on Hormone Happy Hour. It’s called the Quest Bioenergetic Lab, and it uses bioenergetic technology to measure the energetic “signatures” in your body. Think of it like getting a peek at the stressors, toxins, nutrient deficiencies, infections, and even food sensitivities that are quietly draining your system. Instead of just chasing symptoms, this test can help us see the bigger picture of what’s blocking healing at a root level. In this episode, I share: 💛 What the Quest Bioenergetic Lab is and how it works 💛 How it measures energy signals and identifies hidden stressors 💛 The connection between minerals, detox pathways, and what keeps your body from healing 💛 Why this matters for women with fertility struggles, autoimmune issues, or unexplained symptoms 💛 Real-life insights from clients (and what I’ve been learning along the way) The more I learn about this, the more I see how God designed our bodies with layers of wisdom we’re just beginning to understand. If you’ve felt stuck, unseen, or like the “usual answers” don’t match what your body is telling you, this episode will give you a fresh perspective and new hope. hello@drheatherrhodes.com https://www.drheatherrhodes.com/ Sign Up for My Weekly Newsletter Boost Your Progesterone Training

| 30. Pulling Back the Curtain on Parasites | The Full Physical, Emotional, & Spiritual Story | 08 Sep 2025 | 00:46:00 | |
We’re pulling back the curtain on another hot topic on social media that most people don’t realize touches more than just their gut: parasites. In this episode of Hormone Happy Hour, I’m walking you through the physical, emotional, and spiritual side of parasites and why killing them is not the whole story. From how minerals, iron, and copper imbalances create the “perfect environment” for parasites… to the ways toxic thought patterns and even spiritual strongholds can act parasitic in your life, this conversation will help you see the fuller picture. Here’s what we cover in today’s episode: 💛 Why parasites are more common than you think (and why most cultures do routine cleanses) 💛 How mineral depletion, sluggish detox pathways, and hormone imbalances connect to parasites 💛 The emotional side — how draining beliefs + patterns mimic parasitic effects in the body 💛 The spiritual side — how “parasites” can block your gifts and steal your peace 💛 What to focus on before you even think about a cleanse (minerals, iron/copper, detox pathways) 💛 A behind-the-scenes look at the protocol my husband and I are following right now The big takeaway? When you focus first on restoring your body’s design — minerals, metabolism, and mindset — it can be the cherry on top that brings even deeper renewal.

I’m so excited to introduce you to my very first guest on Hormone Happy Hour — my friend and client, Hannah Wardenburg. Hannah is the co-founder of The Wealth Collaborative, and today she’s opening up about her powerful journey from a breaking point to bringing restorative balance. In this conversation, Hannah shares what life looked like when she was running on empty — juggling a high-pressure lifestyle, pushing through stress, and feeling completely disconnected from her body. Then she walks us through the turning point that shifted everything: discovering the role of minerals, stepping into feminine energy, and allowing her body, mind, and spirit to heal in alignment with God’s design. We chat about: 💛 The physical, emotional, and spiritual signs of burnout Hannah ignored for too long 💛 What changed when she addressed her mineral imbalances (and how quickly she noticed results) 💛 How embracing feminine energy impacted her marriage, career, and family life 💛 The role of faith and surrender in healing and transformation Hannah’s story is such a beautiful reminder that healing doesn’t happen overnight — but when you trust the process and give your body what it needs, the fruit shows up in every part of your life. 🌸 👉 Don’t miss my Boost Your Progesterone Webinar — a free training where I’ll walk you through how to naturally rebuild your hormones, increase energy, and feel like yourself again.

| 28. Girl, You’re Not in Perimenopause | The Truth Every 30-Something Woman Needs to Hear About Hormones | 25 Aug 2025 | 00:39:52 | |
Perimenopause is having a moment on social media right now. 👀 Everywhere you scroll, someone is talking about it, and the marketing is trickling all the way down to women in their 30s. But here’s the thing… if you’re under 43? ✨ You’re likely not in perimenopause. ✨ So friend, GET OFF THE PERIMENOPAUSE BUS — it’s not your stop yet. 🚎💨 In this week’s episode of Hormone Happy Hour, we’re setting the record straight. If you’re in your 30s (or even early 40s) and feeling the symptoms being labeled as “perimenopause” (think mood swings, anxiety, irregular cycles, fatigue), there’s a much more likely culprit: low progesterone, mineral depletion, adrenal burnout, or lifestyle stressors.

If your hair could talk… what would it say about your hormones? This week on Hormone Happy Hour podcast, I’m pulling back the curtain on one of my absolute favorite functional tests — the Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) — and why I use it with so many of my clients. We’ll chat about: 💛 How HTMA works (and why it’s different from blood work) 💛 The mineral patterns I see most often in women — and what they really mean for your energy, mood, thyroid, and hormones 💛 Why minerals are the unsung heroes of hormone health (hint: they’re in charge of way more than you think) 💛 The connection between mineral balance and your nervous system, liver, and detox pathways 💛 Real client insights that show how this test can uncover what’s been hidden all along From “calcium shell” patterns to low potassium and the mysterious four lows, we’re breaking it all down in a way that actually makes sense — so you can start connecting the dots in your own health story. Come hang out with me for a consult to see how HTMA testing could be your next big step in healing.

| 35. The Most Common Root Causes of Unexplained Fertility | 13 Oct 2025 | 00:55:17 | |
Before we dive in, I’m sharing a quick personal update — yes, I finally completed a parasite cleanse! 🫣 It was eye-opening, humbling, and surprisingly freeing (in more ways than one!). But more than that, it reminded me how deeply physical, emotional, and spiritual healing are connected. That realization leads perfectly into today’s episode — because we’re tackling a topic I know so many have wrestled with: unexplained infertility. This episode of The Hormone Happy Hour Podcast, is going to help you understand what’s really going on beneath the surface. I’m breaking down the most common hidden root causes I see in my clients, how they interact, and why true fertility restoration starts with stewardship — of your body, your emotions, and your faith. ✨ Here’s what we explore together:
My hope is that this conversation will give you a new framework: one that honors both the science and the spiritual design of your body.

This week I’m taking you behind the scenes into something I’ve never shared before — my husband’s and my own lab results. We sat down and there’s so much to unpack. In this episode of Hormone Happy Hour, I’m walking you through what we found, how I interpret these results, and why minerals like copper, magnesium, potassium, and vitamin A are such game-changers for energy, hormones, and whole-body health. You’ll also hear where I see patterns show up again and again, plus the spiritual reminders God gave me through this process (because you know I don’t separate the physical from the faith piece 💛). ✨ Here’s what we dive into together:
If you’ve ever felt unsure about what your labs really mean, or you’ve wanted to connect the dots between physical results and spiritual renewal, this episode will give you a front-row seat to how I approach it — with both strategy and surrender. hello@drheatherrhodes.com https://www.drheatherrhodes.com/ Sign Up for My Weekly Newsletter Ep. 15 on Full Monty Iron Panel

In this episode of Hormone Happy Hour, I’m back in conversation with Leisha Drews, and we’re doing something we both love which is zooming out and looking ahead. 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.

| 46. Why Your Kids Are Dysregulated — and What Sex Has to Do With It | 29 Dec 2025 | 00:47:30 | |
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:
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.

| 45. What Actually Moved the Needle for Our Health in 2025 | A Year-in-Review Conversation with Leisha Drews | 22 Dec 2025 | 00:48:55 | |
This week on Hormone Happy Hour, Leisha Drews (host of the Happily Hormonal Podcast) and I are sitting down for a real, reflective conversation — not as interviewer and guest, but as two women looking back on the year and sharing what truly made a difference for our health in 2025. This episode is part reflection, part encouragement, and part “behind the scenes” of what it really looks like to tend to your health over a full year — especially when you’re leading, serving others, and navigating full lives. ✨ In this conversation, we reflect on:
This episode is for the woman who wants to pause before rushing into the next year… to reflect, take inventory, and move forward with more intention and alignment. We hope this conversation helps you look back on your own year with honesty, grace, and clarity. And maybe even name a few things you want to keep, release, or deepen as you step into what’s next. hello@drheatherrhodes.com https://www.drheatherrhodes.com/ Sign Up for My Weekly Newsletter

| 48. Exercise, Hormones, and Healing: How to Know If Your Workouts Are Helping or Hurting | 12 Jan 2026 | 00:49:09 | |
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:
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. hello@drheatherrhodes.com Sign Up for My Weekly Newsletter

| 49. Truth Bomb: You’re Not Eating Enough… Even If You Think You Are | 19 Jan 2026 | 00:35:18 | |
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:
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.
