    71. The 4 Low Progesterone Levers (Season Two Is Here + a Summer Life Update)

    Season two of Hormone Happy Hour is here! 🎉  After a summer sabbatical (and a very non-resort-style trip to Costa Rica!), I’m back with some reflections on slowing down, what happens when fear shows up alongside freedom, and learning to give myself the same attentiveness and encouragement I so naturally give to others. And of course, we’re talking hormones! I’m sharing a big shift I’ve been seeing behind the scenes with my clients from constantly trying to “fix” the body to focusing on what it actually needs to be filled with. Plus, I’m breaking down the 4 low progesterone levers and why pulling them in the right order matters. In this episode: 🌴 My Costa Rica adventures & lessons in slowing down 🧠 Why fear can show up when we start creating more freedom 💕 Rethinking the way we talk to and encourage ourselves 🧀 My “Swiss cheese” gut analogy + shifting from fixing to filling ✨ Why progesterone impacts mood, sleep, energy, libido and weight 🔑 The 4 low progesterone levers: paused ovulation, cellular energy, nutrient stealing & cortisol protection 🎂 An important progesterone caveat for women 45+ 💛 What’s coming inside my Restore Your Progesterone training + program Follow Me on Instagram  hello@drheatherrhodes.com Book A Free Consult Call Sign Up for My Weekly Newsletter  Thank you so much for tuning in to this episode!

    70. Reconnecting With Desire | A 4-Step Framework for Nervous System Safety (Season 1 Wrap Up)

    When was the last time you did something simply because you wanted to? Not because it was productive, healthy, efficient, or part of a plan, but because you genuinely desired it. So many women have learned to disconnect from their desires in the name of responsibility, healing, fertility, or doing everything "right." But what if desire isn't something to ignore? What if it's actually valuable information? In this episode, we talk about how desire can reveal what your body needs to feel safe, supported, and fully alive.  In this episode, I cover: Why desire is important data, not something to dismiss Why healing requires more than collecting nervous system tools Faith, surrender, and abiding with God How reconnecting with desire can impact hormones, cycles, fertility, and libido The role of support and co-regulation in healing A simple 4-step framework for practicing desire every day Learning to say "yes" to what brings life and nourishment I also share a few life updates, including our family's summer in Costa Rica, a pause before season two of the podcast, and ways to continue working together through consult calls.

    69. The Energy That Changes It All | Understanding PCOS/PMOS Through a Metabolic Lens

    In this episode of the Hormone Happy Hour, we're talking about something I think more women need to understand: you may have signs of metabolic and hormone dysfunction without fitting the traditional picture of PCOS. If you've experienced things like low energy, cravings, mood swings, painful periods, cycle changes, low libido, sleep issues, or fertility struggles, your body may be giving you clues that there's a deeper metabolic conversation happening. I also share why PCOS is increasingly being viewed through a broader metabolic lens and how our modern approach to healing can sometimes create more pressure, stress, and "doing" than our bodies actually need. We talk about the balance between physical support and energetic support, why both matter, and how creating safety in the body can be just as important as the supplements you're taking. In this episode, I cover: Signs you may be on the PCOS or metabolic dysfunction spectrum The connection between metabolism, hormones, and fertility Why energy availability matters for ovulation and progesterone How striving, control, and pressure can impact hormone health Feminine practices that support healing and nervous system regulation Why getting specific with testing matters before adding more supplements Worthiness, receiving, and letting healing feel less complicated A practical framework for supporting your hormones from both angles   Follow Me on Instagram  hello@drheatherrhodes.com Book A Free Consult Call Sign Up for My Weekly Newsletter    Thank you so much for tuning in to this episode!

    68. The Best Detox | What Actually Helps Your Body Eliminate Toxins

    In this episode, we're talking about detoxing, but probably not in the way you think. Instead of focusing on cleanses, restrictive protocols, or fear around toxins, I want to talk about what it actually looks like to support the detox systems God already built into your body. Because the goal isn't perfection. The goal is resilience. Your liver, kidneys, gut, lymphatic system, skin, and nervous system were designed to help you process and eliminate what your body doesn't need. The question is whether those systems have the support and resources they need to do their job well. In this episode, I cover: Common toxin exposures in everyday life Why so many women struggle with detoxification How stress impacts your body's ability to detox Gut health, bile flow, and regular bowel movements Why undernourishment often creates more problems than toxins Heavy metals, mineral depletion, and ionic mimicry Supporting your liver without extreme cleanses Nervous system safety and detoxification Mental, emotional, and spiritual detox   Follow Me on Instagram  hello@drheatherrhodes.com Book A Free Consult Call Sign Up for My Weekly Newsletter    Thank you so much for tuning in to this episode!

    67. The Things I Would Tell You If I Wasn’t Afraid to Hurt Your Feelings… (Hormones & Fertility Version)

    This episode of the Hormone Happy Hour is a little more honest, direct, and “big sister” style. I’m sharing some life updates, celebrating some really beautiful client wins lately, and talking through the things I genuinely wish more women understood when it comes to hormones, fertility, healing, and the way we’re living. We talk about why healing often has to go deeper than supplements and protocols into things like mineral depletion, stress patterns, nervous system regulation, mindset, alignment, and the environments we’re living in every day. I also share some patterns I commonly see in women struggling with fertility and hormone symptoms, including the pressure, striving, and timeline obsession that can quietly keep the body stuck in survival mode. In this episode, I cover: Why minerals matter so much for fertility and hormones The importance of changing the lifestyle that depleted you Alignment, abundance, and healing beyond supplements Speaking life, authority, and fruitfulness over your body Physical patterns I commonly see in women struggling hormonally Warmth, nourishment, digestion, and thyroid support Masculine vs. feminine energy in healing Why intimacy outside the fertile window matters too   Follow Me on Instagram  hello@drheatherrhodes.com Book A Free Consult Call Sign Up for My Weekly Newsletter  Thank you so much for tuning in to this episode!

    66. Understanding H. Pylori | The Overlooked Root Cause of Gut, Thyroid, & Hormone Imbalances

    This episode of the Hormone Happy Hour podcast, is a deep dive into something that gets missed way more often than people realize: H. pylori. A lot of women think of it as only an ulcer or reflux bacteria, but it can actually impact so much more things like digestion, minerals, iron levels, skin, thyroid health, hormones, and even fertility. I talk about why H. pylori can make it harder to absorb nutrients like iron, B12, and fat-soluble vitamins, how it connects to things like Hashimoto’s, histamine issues, acne, sluggish digestion, and immune stress, and why gut health matters so much when it comes to fertility for both women and men. We also get into testing, treatment options, biofilms, nervous system support, and the foundational lifestyle pieces that often get overlooked. In this episode, I cover: What H. pylori actually is Signs and symptoms that often get missed Gut health, skin issues, and histamine reactions The connection between H. pylori and Hashimoto’s Biofilms and hidden gut infections GI-MAP testing and treatment options Foundational healing support for the gut and nervous system Mentioned referenced episode for you to binge:  Iron Copper Episode #15 Sperm Quality Episode #18 Gut Episode #65 Frequency Episode #16   Follow Me on Instagram  hello@drheatherrhodes.com Book A Free Consult Call Sign Up for My Weekly Newsletter    Thank you so much for tuning in to this episode!

    65. Gut Health & Hormones | Why Restrictive Protocols Aren’t Actually Healing Your Gut

    In this episode of the Hormone Happy Hour, I’m connecting the dots between gut health, the immune system, and hormonal imbalances that so many women are dealing with things like Hashimoto’s, eczema, acne, endometriosis, fertility struggles, anxiety, brain fog, stubborn weight gain, and even recurrent miscarriage connected to low progesterone. I also talk about why so many women stay stuck even after trying restrictive gut protocols and supplements. Because a lot of gut healing starts with foundations that are often missed, especially low stomach acid. When stomach acid is low, it impacts mineral absorption, fat-soluble vitamins, cholesterol production, hormone health, skin health, and even the integrity of the gut lining itself. We also talk about nervous system safety, stress, eating habits, and the spiritual side of stewardship and healing. In this episode, I cover: The connection between gut health, the immune system, and hormones Why gut protocols often fail to create lasting healing Low stomach acid and how it impacts minerals and nutrient absorption Leaky gut, inflammation, and immune-driven symptoms Acne, eczema, anxiety, brain fog, fertility struggles, and stubborn weight gain A top-down approach to gut healing and rebuilding Why stress and nervous system dysregulation impact digestion Stewarding your body through mindset, words, prayer, and healing rhythms Follow Me on Instagram  hello@drheatherrhodes.com Book A Free Consult Call Sign Up for My Weekly Newsletter    Thank you so much for tuning in to this episode!

    64. Fearfully & Wonderfully Made | Why So Many Symptoms Come from Living Outside God’s Design

    This episode is a little more faith-centered, I’m recording while traveling and preparing for a women’s conference around Psalm 139, and this message has been on my heart. We hear “fearfully and wonderfully made” often, but I want to invite you to see it as something deeper an invitation into safety, identity, and intimacy with God. Because when your body doesn’t feel safe, it impacts everything…your hormones, nervous system, energy, and overall healing. In this episode, I talk about how true healing isn’t just physical, it’s body, mind, and spirit working together. And so many symptoms are actually signals that we’re living outside the design God created us for. In this episode, I cover: What “fearfully and wonderfully made” really means The connection between safety, hormones, and the nervous system Why healing has to include body, mind, and spirit How lack of safety can show up physically Speaking life-giving, identity-based words over yourself Strengthening your spirit through prayer, Scripture, worship, and community Living outside your design vs. returning to it Being made for slower rhythms, deep roots, and true nourishment Feminine design, receiving, and creativity If this resonates, I also share ways to work together, including consult calls and updated programs around hormones, minerals, and fertility.
