Hormone Happy Hour with Dr. Heather Rhodes

• 20. Let’s Chat About Hormonal Acne, Skincare, & Achieving Clear Skin Naturally

  In this episode, we’re unpacking the deeper layers of acne—because breakouts are rarely just about your skincare routine. I’m walking you through the real connection between your hormones, your gut, and your skin, and how things like stress, low progesterone, blood sugar swings, and sluggish detox pathways can show up on your face. We talk about: The role of progesterone in calming inflammation What your skin might be telling you about your gut and liver Why cutting out sugar or dairy can feel like it “works”—and what to do instead How I’ve shifted from conventional products to cleaner, non–pore clogging ones (without going overboard) Ways to support your skin in each phase of your cycle Why true healing doesn’t start with surface-level fixes—it starts with restoring balance where your body feels safe to repair ✨ Thank you Cozy Earth for sponsoring this episode!

• 19. Lift Your Libido: What to Do When You Don't Want to Do It

  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). Inside this episode, we’ll unpack: The connection between cortisol, oxytocin, and dopamine Why progesterone matters more than you think How resentment, overstimulation, and burnout can block desire The cyclical nature of libido and how to stop labeling it as “low” Practical steps to reconnect with your body and foster deeper intimacy Why sleep and a sense of safety are essential foundations for desire This isn’t a quick fix—it’s a whole-self approach to helping you feel more alive, more connected, and more at peace in your body again.   ✨ A huge thank you to Cozy Earth for sponsoring this episode. Their temperature-regulating sheets have been a game-changer in helping me get better rest (and y’all know sleep impacts everything—including libido).

• 18. Sperm Health: A Whole-Body View of Male Reproduction

  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: What sperm analysis really tells us (beyond just count) Markers like DNA fragmentation, morphology, and pH levels Lifestyle shifts, supplements, and gut support that can make a difference How stress, sleep, and emotional well-being affect male fertility Why masculine/feminine energy alignment in your relationship matters more than you think This episode is part science, part heart, and a little summer fun—and it’s one I hope you’ll share with your partner or someone who needs to hear it. ✨ And a big thank you to Cozy Earth for sponsoring this episode! They make my favorite temperature-regulating sleep essentials that support deep rest (and yes—rest matters for sperm health, too). Use code DRHEATHER at cozyearth.com for 40% off your order.

• 17. Nighttime Healing: Unlocking the Power of Rest for Your Body and Spirit

  In this episode, I’m kicking off a special summer series where we’re diving deep into some of the most-requested wellness topics—starting with sleep (because wow, does it impact everything!). This one’s especially close to home for me. 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. You’ll hear: Why quality sleep is so much more than just getting 8 hours What’s going on with your hormones when you can’t fall—or stay—asleep Emotional and spiritual aspects of rest we don’t talk about enough Practical (and doable) ways to regulate your circadian rhythm, support blood sugar, and create a calming sensory-rich routine Whether you’re in a season of night-waking, stress dreaming, or just want to feel more rested and alive—this episode will help you tune into what your body actually needs.

• 16. The Role of Energy in Fertility & Healing: Why Your Frequency Matters More Than You Think

  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: What your energy says about your health How stress, emotions, and even your thoughts can either energize or deplete your body The example of mineral movement + organ function in creating balance Simple ways to shift your energy How energetic blocks may be showing up in your fertility journey—and what to do about it 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.
