Hormone Happy Hour with Dr. Heather Rhodes

If you’ve been collecting labs, supplements, protocols, and advice but STILL feel like you don’t know what your body actually needs… this episode is for you.

 We’re talking fertility, but honestly? These principles apply to healing in general. I’m breaking down why getting unstuck often requires more than another supplement. It's about shifting your identity, rebuilding trust with your body, and getting your mind, emotions, desires, and choices moving in the same direction. 

Then we’re getting practical. I’m sharing the physical signs I look for when assessing whether the body feels supported enough for fertility and healing, plus the three tests that can give us a much clearer picture of what’s happening underneath the surface. And because fertility isn’t just a woman’s responsibility, we’re talking about what to look at with your husband, too!

In this episode:

Why more labs, supplements and advice don’t always equal more clarity

The identity shift that may need to happen before your body can move forward

Reconnecting with healthy feminine energy + what that can look like in real life

Getting your thoughts, emotions, desires, & choices into alignment

The 3 tests I recommend for getting deeper answers: Full Monty iron, HTMA + gut testing

Why the body prioritizes survival needs before reproduction

Why your husband’s health matters too and when to consider sperm analysis

Okay ladies, we’re talking about your husband today.

I’m joined by Leisha Drews, host of the Happily Hormonal Podcast, for a conversation about male hormones, low testosterone, gut health, and all the things that might be going on underneath the surface when your husband just doesn’t seem like himself. We’re breaking down signs of low testosterone and why hormones are often a clue that we need to look deeper at sleep, stress, inflammation, minerals, nutrition, and gut health.

But here’s the catch: you can’t actually “fix” your husband. 

In this episode:

Common signs of low testosterone from fatigue + belly fat to low libido, brain fog + lack of motivation

Why low testosterone may be a signal to look deeper at overall health

The connection between sleep, stress, inflammation, minerals and male hormones

Simple nutrition + lifestyle shifts that support men’s health

Why trying to control or “fix” your husband usually doesn’t work

How changing your own actions can shift the dynamic in your marriage

What feminine energy can actually look like in everyday marriage

Why we recommend The Empowered Wife as a resource for women who want to explore these relationship dynamics

This episode came from a BIG download I couldn’t ignore. 💛 We talk a lot about supporting hormones, minerals, the gut, and the nervous system, but what if there’s a deeper spiritual root keeping your body stuck in survival mode? Today, I’m digging into fear and how our thoughts, beliefs, and unresolved emotions may be connected to the way we experience stress and symptoms in the body.

I’m sharing what it means to view fear as an “altar,” how to recognize where you may have come into agreement with fear, and practical steps for replacing those beliefs with truth. We’re also going into Joshua 1:8 and the daily blueprint I believe God gives us for building strength and courage. And yes, we’re ending this one in prayer. 🙏

In this episode:

Why emotional regulation is an important piece of nervous system health

How thoughts, beliefs, and unresolved emotions can contribute to feeling stuck in survival mode

The potential connection between fear, stress & hormone, gut, and nervous system symptoms

Why supporting the physical body with minerals and other tools may only be one piece of the puzzle

What I mean when I talk about fear becoming an “altar” in our lives

The Joshua 1:8 blueprint I’m using to build strength and courage every day

Today’s episode is SUCH a special one. 💛 I’m sitting down with my client Lauren Vander Linden to share her incredible hormone healing testimony. After experiencing preeclampsia during pregnancy followed by persistent postpartum bleeding, Lauren had tried seemingly everything to figure out what was happening in her body. Together, we started looking deeper—at hormones, minerals, iron, cellular health, and the whole person rather than simply trying to make the symptom disappear.

But Lauren’s story is about so much more than labs and protocols. It’s a beautiful conversation about surrender, prayer, trusting your body, and allowing God into the healing process. Lauren shares how her energy, motherhood, marriage, and relationship with her body began to shift and the incredible moment when, after years of struggling with bleeding, it finally stopped. 

In this episode:

Lauren’s experience with preeclampsia + persistent postpartum bleeding

Looking beyond symptoms to hormones, minerals, iron + cellular health

How testing helped us identify gaps that had previously been missed

Thinking about your body’s energy like a “bank account”

What changed when Lauren stopped striving + started trusting her body

The role surrender, prayer + faith played in her healing journey

How healing impacted Lauren’s energy, motherhood + marriage

Making room for both miracles AND stewardship of the body

What Lauren’s story can teach us about what may be possible when we support the whole person

We’re kicking this episode off with a little fall menu yapping (because apparently Starbucks has a banana latte coming?!) before diving into a topic I feel SO strongly about: how we’re supporting women postpartum. Postpartum isn’t something your body simply “bounces back” from in six weeks. This season of healing can take much longer, and I want us to completely rethink what nourishment, rest, and recovery can look like, especially during those first 100 days.

I’m sharing the postpartum support framework I wish more women had, from rebuilding depleted minerals and supporting your metabolism to reconnecting with pleasure, femininity, and your spiritual life. 

In this episode: 

Why postpartum recovery deserves WAY more time, care + attention

What I want the first 100 days postpartum to look like for women

Why an HTMA around 12 weeks postpartum is one of my non-negotiables

How pregnancy can impact mineral status + why rebuilding matters

Supporting metabolism + getting your circadian rhythm back in sync

Simple ways to reconnect with pleasure + your feminine energy

Prophesying over your baby, your marriage + the postpartum experience you desire
