Hormone Happy Hour with Dr. Heather Rhodes

Okay friend, if you’ve been trying to get pregnant for six months or longer and you’re starting to wonder what’s going on, this episode is for YOU! 

 I’m breaking down where I’d start if pregnancy just isn’t happening, what clues your body might already be giving you, and why getting answers doesn’t have to mean jumping straight into complicated fertility treatments. 

We’re talking about the fertility basics I want every woman to understand, from confirming ovulation and tracking cervical mucus to looking at libido, hormone patterns, and the labs that may help fill in the missing pieces. And yes, we’re talking about your husband’s health, too! Because fertility is a team effort, and I want you to feel informed, supported, and confident about your next steps. 

In this episode:

Where to start if you’ve been trying to conceive for 6+ months

How basal body temperature tracking can help confirm ovulation

What cervical mucus, libido and cycle symptoms can tell you about fertility

The blood work and mineral testing I consider when looking for deeper answers

Why your husband’s hormones and sperm health deserve attention, too

How to move forward with clarity instead of getting overwhelmed by fertility information

Okay, but what if all the things you’re doing to heal your hormones are actually keeping you stuck? 

We’ve all been there - ordering more tests, trying new supplements, researching every symptom, and feeling like there’s ALWAYS something else to fix. In this episode, I’m talking about what I call “healing backwards” and why doing all the things might not be getting you where you want to go. 

We’re also getting into the difference between constantly trying to fix your body and actually learning how to take care of it. I’m sharing some perspective from Romans 8, what God has been showing me about healing, and why knowing what season you’re in matters SO much. Because friend, you weren’t meant to spend your whole life chasing symptoms. 💛

In this episode:

What “healing backwards” looks like and why you might be stuck in fix-it mode

How information overload, endless testing & hypervigilance can work against you

The difference between fixing your body and stewarding your health

What Romans 8 can teach us about healing

Why understanding your current season matters for your next steps

Real client examples of hormone, gut, and blood sugar clues

Let’s talk about something we don’t always connect to our hormones… MARRIAGE! 

 Have you ever felt like you and your husband keep having the same arguments, intimacy feels like another thing on your to-do list, or you’re both just completely exhausted? What if it’s not just a communication problem? Today, we’re digging into how hormones, nervous system safety, and masculine/feminine dynamics may be playing a bigger role in your marriage than you realize.

I’m breaking down four common relationship patterns I see with my clients and how things like low progesterone, low testosterone, chronic stress, and burnout can influence the way we show up for each other. Because sometimes another communication strategy isn't the missing piece—your bodies may need support, too! 

In this episode:

Why hormones and nervous system health may be impacting your marriage

The 4 relationship patterns I see couples getting stuck in

What happens when masculine + feminine polarity feels flipped

Why feeling safe matters for connection, intimacy and libido

Why supporting your physical health can be just as important as communication skills

Okay friends, it’s confession time! 

I’m spilling the tea on how I managed to crash my own progesterone not once, but TWICE. Yep, even as a hormone expert! But first, we’re celebrating some BIG client wins, from long-awaited pregnancies to postpartum weight loss, and talking about why progesterone is often the missing piece when it comes to energy, libido, fertility, mood, and actually seeing results from all your hard work.

I’m sharing the sneaky signs I missed, how intense workouts, under-eating, and blurred work boundaries caught up with me, and exactly what I did to rebuild. Because sometimes doing MORE is actually working against your hormones. Let’s talk about what it looks like to stop chasing symptoms, start nourishing your body, and train smarter without sacrificing your progesterone. 

In this episode:

How I crashed my own progesterone TWICE (and the warning signs I missed)

Why intense workouts, under-eating, and chronic stress can work against your hormones

The connection between progesterone, motivation, focus, & libido

How I adjusted my nutrition, workouts + daily routines to rebuild

Why doing less and creating better boundaries can lead to better results

The hormone basics I want you to start tracking each month

Happy fall, friends! 🍂 We’re kicking things off with a reminder from my son’s teacher that I think we ALL need to hear: Do your best and keep going. Because perfectionism can keep us stuck in a cycle of stress and symptoms. And that brings us to today’s topic: BLOOD SUGAR! We’re talking about why blood sugar regulation is foundational for progesterone, energy, sleep, and helping your body feel safe enough to heal.

I’m breaking down the sneaky signs of blood sugar dysregulation, why more protein isn’t always the answer, and how minerals, carbs, digestion, and fiber all play a role. Plus, we’re connecting the physical and spiritual dots when it comes to getting out of survival mode and learning to trust your body again. 💛

In this episode:

Why releasing perfectionism matters in your healing journey

Sneaky signs of blood sugar dysregulation, from night waking to cravings and mood swings

The connection between blood sugar, progesterone, & cortisol

Why undereating and inadequate carbs may be working against you

How minerals, digestion, and fiber support metabolic health

The connection between PCOS + blood sugar regulation

Why spiritual rest + nervous system safety matter

How my Missing Piece sessions & Restore Your Progesterone program can help you find your next steps
