    79. Tea Time: I Crashed My Hormones… TWICE

    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 Follow Me on Instagram & Message Me About Missing Piece  hello@drheatherrhodes.com Sign Up for My Weekly Newsletter  Thank you so much for tuning in to this episode!

    78. Sneaky Blood Sugar Things That Are Messing With Your Hormones

    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 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!

    77. 3 Key Foundations Your Body Needs to Actually Heal

    If you’ve been collecting labs, supplements, protocols, and advice but STILL feel like you don’t know what your body actually needs… this episode is for you.  We’re talking fertility, but honestly? These principles apply to healing in general. I’m breaking down why getting unstuck often requires more than another supplement. It's about shifting your identity, rebuilding trust with your body, and getting your mind, emotions, desires, and choices moving in the same direction.  Then we’re getting practical. I’m sharing the physical signs I look for when assessing whether the body feels supported enough for fertility and healing, plus the three tests that can give us a much clearer picture of what’s happening underneath the surface. And because fertility isn’t just a woman’s responsibility, we’re talking about what to look at with your husband, too! In this episode: Why more labs, supplements and advice don’t always equal more clarity The identity shift that may need to happen before your body can move forward Reconnecting with healthy feminine energy + what that can look like in real life Getting your thoughts, emotions, desires, & choices into alignment The 3 tests I recommend for getting deeper answers: Full Monty iron, HTMA + gut testing Why the body prioritizes survival needs before reproduction Why your husband’s health matters too and when to consider sperm analysis Follow Me on Instagram & Send Me a DM “Plan”  hello@drheatherrhodes.com Book A Free Consult Call Sign Up for My Weekly Newsletter    Thank you so much for tuning in to this episode!

    76. How to Fix Your Husband… Let’s Be Real: What Is & Isn’t Your Job to Fix

    Okay ladies, we’re talking about your husband today. I’m joined by Leisha Drews, host of the Happily Hormonal Podcast, for a conversation about male hormones, low testosterone, gut health, and all the things that might be going on underneath the surface when your husband just doesn’t seem like himself. We’re breaking down signs of low testosterone and why hormones are often a clue that we need to look deeper at sleep, stress, inflammation, minerals, nutrition, and gut health. But here’s the catch: you can’t actually “fix” your husband.  In this episode: Common signs of low testosterone from fatigue + belly fat to low libido, brain fog + lack of motivation Why low testosterone may be a signal to look deeper at overall health The connection between sleep, stress, inflammation, minerals and male hormones Simple nutrition + lifestyle shifts that support men’s health Why trying to control or “fix” your husband usually doesn’t work How changing your own actions can shift the dynamic in your marriage What feminine energy can actually look like in everyday marriage Why we recommend The Empowered Wife as a resource for women who want to explore these relationship dynamics 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!

    75. The Spiritual Strategy for Immune System Chaos

    This episode came from a BIG download I couldn’t ignore. 💛 We talk a lot about supporting hormones, minerals, the gut, and the nervous system, but what if there’s a deeper spiritual root keeping your body stuck in survival mode? Today, I’m digging into fear and how our thoughts, beliefs, and unresolved emotions may be connected to the way we experience stress and symptoms in the body. I’m sharing what it means to view fear as an “altar,” how to recognize where you may have come into agreement with fear, and practical steps for replacing those beliefs with truth. We’re also going into Joshua 1:8 and the daily blueprint I believe God gives us for building strength and courage. And yes, we’re ending this one in prayer. 🙏 In this episode: Why emotional regulation is an important piece of nervous system health How thoughts, beliefs, and unresolved emotions can contribute to feeling stuck in survival mode The potential connection between fear, stress & hormone, gut, and nervous system symptoms Why supporting the physical body with minerals and other tools may only be one piece of the puzzle What I mean when I talk about fear becoming an “altar” in our lives The Joshua 1:8 blueprint I’m using to build strength and courage every day 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!

    74. What Changed When Lauren Stopped Chasing Symptoms Alone & Found the Support to Heal Her Hormones at the Root

    Today’s episode is SUCH a special one. 💛 I’m sitting down with my client Lauren Vander Linden to share her incredible hormone healing testimony. After experiencing preeclampsia during pregnancy followed by persistent postpartum bleeding, Lauren had tried seemingly everything to figure out what was happening in her body. Together, we started looking deeper—at hormones, minerals, iron, cellular health, and the whole person rather than simply trying to make the symptom disappear. But Lauren’s story is about so much more than labs and protocols. It’s a beautiful conversation about surrender, prayer, trusting your body, and allowing God into the healing process. Lauren shares how her energy, motherhood, marriage, and relationship with her body began to shift and the incredible moment when, after years of struggling with bleeding, it finally stopped.  In this episode: Lauren’s experience with preeclampsia + persistent postpartum bleeding Looking beyond symptoms to hormones, minerals, iron + cellular health How testing helped us identify gaps that had previously been missed Thinking about your body’s energy like a “bank account” What changed when Lauren stopped striving + started trusting her body The role surrender, prayer + faith played in her healing journey How healing impacted Lauren’s energy, motherhood + marriage Making room for both miracles AND stewardship of the body What Lauren’s story can teach us about what may be possible when we support the whole person Listen to # 29 Hannah’s Episode 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!

    73. The Postpartum Non-Negotiables Every Woman Should Know

    We’re kicking this episode off with a little fall menu yapping (because apparently Starbucks has a banana latte coming?!) before diving into a topic I feel SO strongly about: how we’re supporting women postpartum. Postpartum isn’t something your body simply “bounces back” from in six weeks. This season of healing can take much longer, and I want us to completely rethink what nourishment, rest, and recovery can look like, especially during those first 100 days. I’m sharing the postpartum support framework I wish more women had, from rebuilding depleted minerals and supporting your metabolism to reconnecting with pleasure, femininity, and your spiritual life.  In this episode:  Why postpartum recovery deserves WAY more time, care + attention What I want the first 100 days postpartum to look like for women Why an HTMA around 12 weeks postpartum is one of my non-negotiables How pregnancy can impact mineral status + why rebuilding matters Supporting metabolism + getting your circadian rhythm back in sync Simple ways to reconnect with pleasure + your feminine energy Prophesying over your baby, your marriage + the postpartum experience you desire Details on my Restore Your Progesterone Training  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!
