    The Menopause Care Gap: Why Women 40+ Feel Dismissed by Medicine | Dana Culp EP335

    Send a text Perimenopause and menopause are some of the most transformative—and misunderstood—seasons of a woman’s life. Yet many women seeking help for symptoms like brain fog, irritability, low libido, weight gain, and fatigue are told their labs are “normal” or that what they’re experiencing is simply part of aging. In this episode of It’s Hertime, Cody Sanders sits down with Dana Culp, Doctor of Nursing Practice and Certified Menopause Expert, to talk about the growing menopause care gap—and why so many women feel dismissed by the medical system during midlife. Dana works with women navigating perimenopause and menopause every day in her clinics. What makes her approach unique is her commitment to truly individualized care. Instead of relying only on lab numbers or rigid treatment guidelines, she looks at the full picture of a woman’s physiology, lifestyle, stress load, and hormonal transitions. Together, Cody and Dana unpack why midlife symptoms are often misunderstood, how dismissal from healthcare providers impacts women emotionally, and what supportive care during this stage of life should actually look like. If you’ve ever felt unseen, unheard, or told to “just wait it out,” this conversation will help you understand what’s really happening in your body—and why you deserve better support. ⸻ In This Episode, We Discuss Why so many women feel dismissed by doctors during perimenopause and menopause Common symptoms women experience in midlife, including brain fog, mood changes, fatigue, and weight gain Why “normal labs” don’t always mean your hormones are balanced How hormonal fluctuations affect stress tolerance, resilience, and identity in midlife The emotional impact of being told your symptoms are “just aging” What individualized menopause care actually looks like When hormone therapy can help—and why hormones alone are not always the full solution The real drivers of low libido in midlife, including hormones, nervous system safety, and blood flow How women can rebuild trust with their bodies during the menopause transition Why midlife can become one of the most powerful seasons of a woman’s life Midlife is not the problem. The problem is a care model that often fails to see the whole woman. ⸻ Connect with Dana Culp Learn more about Dana’s work and clinics: https://ThrivemidlifeMed.com ⸻ Work With Cody Sanders If you’re navigating hormone shifts, metabolic changes, or feeling exhausted and inflamed in midlife, Cody’s CALM Body Reset program helps women restore energy, regulate their nervous system, and rebalance their hormones through personalized nutrition, lifestyle strategies, and lab interpretation.

    When Strong Women Feel Disconnected (and How They Find Their Way Back) with Aubin Palmer EP334

    Send a text In this meaningful episode of It’s Hertime, Cody Sanders sits down with Aubin Palmer—registered nurse turned author, mother of three daughters, and creator of the Power Women movement—for an honest conversation about what happens when strong, capable women start to feel quietly disconnected from themselves. Aubin shares her journey from working as an RN caring for women in vulnerable seasons to feeling the persistent inner nudge that there was more she was meant to create. That calling ultimately led to the creation of Power Women, a collaborative book featuring the lived experiences of more than 50 women whose stories remind readers that power doesn’t always look loud, polished, or linear. Together, Cody and Aubin explore the emotional and identity shifts many women face—especially during motherhood, burnout, hormonal transitions, and major life pivots—and why so many high-capacity women find themselves feeling stretched thin or disconnected despite doing everything “right.” They also discuss the powerful themes that emerged from compiling women’s stories, why storytelling can be deeply healing for the nervous system, and how the Power Women movement is giving forward by placing books into the hands of women navigating particularly tender seasons, including postpartum mothers. This episode is a supportive listen for any woman who has been the helper, the caretaker, or the one holding everything together—and is ready to come back home to herself. In this episode, listeners will learn: •Aubin Palmer’s transition from registered nurse to movement builder •Why strong women often experience seasons of disconnection •The most common themes that emerged from 50+ women’s stories •What power really looks like in quiet or difficult seasons •How storytelling supports emotional and nervous system healing •Who the Power Women book is especially meant to support •How the book is being donated to women in challenging circumstances •One small step women can take this week to reconnect with themselves This episode is especially for women who: •Feel torn between caring for others and caring for themselves •Are navigating postpartum, burnout, or identity shifts •Have been told they’re “doing great” but don’t feel like themselves •Are craving reconnection, clarity, and emotional steadiness •Want to feel seen and understood in this season of life ⸻ Resources & Links Connect with Aubin Palmer: Website Instagram Power Women Book ⸻ Work with Cody Women ready for deeper, personalized support can learn more about Cody’s CALM Body Reset, a functional, root-cause approach designed to help women 40+ move from exhausted and inflamed to calm, energized, and clear through labs, nervous system support, and metabolic healing.

    The "Toxic Five" Draining Women's Energy (And How to Fix Fatigue) with Dr. Evan Hirsch EP333

    Send a text Why are so many women still exhausted—even when they’re eating well, sleeping more, and being told their labs look “normal”? In this episode of It’s Hertime, Cody Sanders sits down with Dr. Evan Hirsch, also known as the EnergyMD, to unpack the real root causes behind chronic fatigue, long COVID, and persistent low energy in women. Drawing from both his personal health journey and clinical work, Dr. Hirsch explains why fatigue is rarely just about sleep or stress—and what actually needs to happen for true energy recovery. Together, Cody and Dr. Hirsch explore the systems-based drivers of fatigue, the role of nervous system dysregulation, and why many women feel worse when they try to “push through.” If you or someone you love feels tired all the time, wired but exhausted, or stuck in burnout despite doing all the right things, this conversation will bring clarity and hope. ⸻ In This Episode, You’ll Learn: •The difference between being tired and having true chronic fatigue •Why standard lab work often misses the root causes of low energy •How long COVID and ME/CFS overlap with hormone and nervous system dysfunction •The EnergyMD Method and the “Toxic Five” contributors to fatigue •Why pushing harder with exercise can sometimes backfire •How nervous system regulation impacts energy, recovery, and resilience •The first steps women can take to start rebuilding real, sustainable energy ⸻ About Dr. Evan Hirsch (EnergyMD) Dr. Evan Hirsch is a fatigue expert who specializes in helping people recover from chronic fatigue syndrome, long COVID, and complex energy issues using a root-cause, functional medicine approach. After experiencing his own five-year battle with fatigue, he developed the EnergyMD Method to help patients systematically uncover and address the underlying drivers of low energy.

    Your Body Isn’t Broken — It’s Overloaded: The Nervous System Truth Behind Chronic Fatigue & Burnout with Miguel Bautista EP332

    Send a text What if the problem isn’t that your body is broken… but that it’s overloaded? In this episode of It’s Hertime, women’s health practitioner and functional nutritionist Cody Sanders sits down with Miguel Bautista to explore a powerful reframe around chronic fatigue, burnout, Long COVID, and “mystery” symptoms. Miguel shares how he went from thriving personal trainer to completely bedridden and hospitalized — only to be told his labs were “normal.” What ultimately shifted his recovery wasn’t another protocol or supplement. It was understanding how nervous system overload was driving his symptoms. This conversation is especially relevant for high-functioning women who: •Feel exhausted despite normal lab work •Have been told “everything looks fine” •Push harder when their bodies push back •Feel like their system can’t handle stress the way it used to In this episode, we discuss: •What nervous system dysregulation actually means •Why symptoms feel intensely physical •Why over-efforting, biohacking, and pushing through often backfire •The emotional side of recovery •How to rebuild capacity safely and sustainably For women navigating midlife, perimenopause, hormone shifts, and high responsibility loads, this conversation offers both validation and strategy. When the nervous system doesn’t feel safe, hormones, sleep, blood sugar, and energy regulation become significantly harder. Healing isn’t about doing more. It’s about building capacity. _________ Connect with Miguel Bautista: Website Instagram Free Gifts: Recovery Stage Identifier and Personalized Recovery Report  ⸻ CALM Body Reset with Cody Sanders CALM Body Reset, a 6-week program designed to help women 40+ move from exhausted and inflamed to steady, energized, and clear.

    Tired, Touched-Out, and Wondering What Happened to Your Libido? with Dr Diane Mueller EP331

    Send a text If you’ve ever thought, “I’m exhausted, overstimulated, and intimacy feels like one more thing on my to-do list,” this episode is for you. In today’s conversation, we’re finally talking about libido — honestly, openly, and without shame. So many women quietly wonder why they don’t feel like themselves anymore, especially after babies, during perimenopause, or in menopause. This episode is here to remind you: you are not broken — your body is communicating. Cody is joined by Dr. Diane Mueller, a board-certified sexologist, national speaker, best-selling author, and podcast host who has worked with over 33,000 couples. Dr. Diane brings both science and compassion to a topic that’s often ignored in women’s health conversations. Together, they explore how hormones, chronic stress, nervous system overload, and life transitions impact desire — and why low libido is not a personal failure, but a biological response. This is a girlfriend-to-girlfriend conversation designed to bring clarity, validation, and hope. In this episode, they discuss: •Why libido is often left out of the hormone conversation •What it really means to feel “touched-out” •How stress and exhaustion biologically suppress desire •Why low libido doesn’t mean you don’t love your partner •How shame and guilt disconnect women from intimacy •Practical first steps to begin reconnecting with your body and desire If you’ve been wondering where you went, you’re not alone. With the right support, intimacy and connection can feel accessible again. ⸻ Sponsored by Mixhers Libido This episode is brought to you by Mixhers Libido, a thoughtfully formulated supplement designed to support women’s desire, sensitivity, and stress resilience. Libido works by supporting healthy blood flow, calming the nervous system, and helping your body feel safe enough to experience pleasure again — because desire isn’t about willpower, it’s about biology.

    When Your Body Stops Responding: How to Understand What It’s Asking for Next with Katie Hardie EP328

    Send a text Have you ever found yourself thinking: “I’m eating well. I’m exercising. I’m trying so hard… so why does my body feel stuck?” If you’ve been doing all the “right” things but still feel tired, inflamed, frustrated, or disconnected from your body — this episode is for you. In today’s conversation, I’m joined by Katie Hardie, board-certified holistic nutritionist, performance psychology expert, and founder of My PEAK. Katie works with highly motivated, high-performing individuals — especially women — who are disciplined, committed, and quietly burning out. Instead of telling women to push harder or try another plan, Katie helps them understand what their symptoms are actually communicating. Together, we talk about how to shift from fighting your body to listening to it — and how to respond in ways that restore energy, resilience, and trust. This episode isn’t about doing more. It’s about doing different — with clarity instead of guilt. ⸻ In this episode, we discuss: •Why your body isn’t “failing” — it’s giving feedback •The most common signals women ignore or normalize (and why that matters) •Why disciplined, high-achieving women often hit a wall first •How to tell if your body needs fuel, recovery, or nervous system regulation — not more discipline •The difference between discipline and data (and how women get stuck in that loop) •How to use functional testing as a guide — without fear or obsession •Why recovery is essential for performance, not the opposite of it •Where to start when you feel seen… but also overwhelmed ⸻ A reminder from this episode: Your body isn’t broken. It isn’t working against you. It’s communicating — and when you learn how to listen, everything changes. If this conversation resonated with you, consider sharing it with a friend who’s been pushing a little too hard — or leave a review so more women can find these conversations. ⸻ Connect with Katie: •Website •Instagram •Learn more about her work through My PEAK ⸻ Episode Supporter: Mixhers Metabolic Balance If this episode resonated and you’re realizing your body may need support, not more discipline, one simple place to start is blood sugar balance.
