Hormone Happy Hour with Dr. Heather Rhodes

This week on Hormone Happy Hour, we start with a little real-life catch-up filling you in on upcoming workshops, new programs launching in January, and a few fun personal updates, but then we settle into what this episode is really about. If your health journey has felt frustrating, confusing, or like you’ve tried everything without getting lasting results… I want this conversation to feel like a deep exhale. In this episode, I break down the four most common mistakes I see in health coaching and hormone programs. I share why so many well-meaning programs miss the mark, what I now do differently with clients, and what you should be looking for so your next investment actually moves the needle. ✨ Here’s what we talk through together: Why more labs don’t always equal better answers The problem with trying to “fix the gut” before the body feels safe How supplement overload creates more stress, not healing Why mineral replenishment and foundational support matter first The role progesterone plays in true, sustainable healing How to spot programs that are built on simplicity instead of chaos What I’ve learned after working with clients all year and what I’d do differently now This episode is for the woman who’s tired of feeling like she’s doing something wrong… when really, she’s just been given the wrong framework. My hope is that you leave this conversation feeling clearer, more confident, and better equipped to choose support that actually aligns with your body and your season.

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: Why low progesterone, estrogen activity, and adrenal patterns can change your desire How your minerals and nervous system shape libido (more than you think) Why stress + resentment quietly kill desire The emotional and mental roots behind low libido How intimacy can support hormone healing The connection between gut health, energy, and desire What Scripture reveals about fertility, intimacy, and connection Masculine + feminine dynamics that affect desire Practical steps for rebuilding libido in a way that feels supportive, not pressured Follow Me on Instagram  [email protected] https://www.drheatherrhodes.com/ Book A Free Consult Sign Up for My Weekly Newsletter  Thank you so much for tuning in to this episode!

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: Why your goals need clarity, not pressure How imagination and mindset shape your ability to follow through The connection between minerals, energy, and sustainable habits Simple ways to rebuild capacity so your goals don’t feel heavy How to prepare your rhythms and routines before the new year hits 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.

This week’s Hormone Happy Hour feels a little extra special, because this episode is to truly just encourage you. If you’ve been praying for something — healing, fertility, clarity, peace — and it feels like it’s taking forever to show up… this episode is for you. Let’s talk about what it looks like to truly surrender, hold onto God’s promises, and break agreement with the belief that “delay” means “denied.” ✨ Here’s what we talk about in this episode: Faith when things don’t go as planned (and how to stay anchored in hope) How to surrender control while still stewarding your health and body well The spiritual connection between money, fertility, and trust Breaking agreements with delay and fear Learning to wait with God, not just for what you’re praying for This one’s filled with encouragement for your heart. Whether you’re in a waiting season, navigating disappointment, or just trying to find peace in what’s next? I hope you leave this conversation feeling seen, reminded of His promises, and ready to rest in His timing. 💛 Follow Me on Instagram  [email protected] https://www.drheatherrhodes.com/ Book A Free Consult Sign Up for My Weekly Newsletter Thank you so much for tuning in to this episode!

In this week’s episode of Hormone Happy Hour, I’m answering a common question that so many of you have probably wondered: “How do I know how much I should be eating?” I share what I call your “metabolic bank account” (and why trying to withdraw before you’ve deposited enough always backfires), plus how a hair mineral test can help you identify what your body’s truly asking for right now. ✨ Here’s what we cover in this episode: Understanding the season your body is in and what it needs to thrive How to eat differently for fertility, postpartum, and hormone support Why “less” isn’t always better when it comes to food or exercise How to build your metabolic bank account before focusing on fat loss or muscle gain The role of minerals in supporting metabolism and energy Encouraging client stories of hormone balance, pregnancy, and restoration Follow Me on Instagram  [email protected] https://www.drheatherrhodes.com/ Book A Free Consult Sign Up for My Weekly Newsletter Victorious Emotions by Wendy Backlund  It’s NOT Perimenopause Episode   Thank you so much for tuning in to this episode!
