    83. Check These 3 Things Before You Test Your Hormones

    Before you spend money on another round of labs, there are a few things I want you to look at FIRST! Because here's the thing: your hormones are often a reflection of what's happening in your body, not necessarily the root of the problem. In this episode of the Hormone Happy Hour podcast, I'm sharing three simple places to start before jumping into hormone testing, plus some exciting breakthroughs from my recent Missing Piece Sessions! We're talking about getting back to basics, tuning into what your body is telling you, and finding clarity without getting lost in ALL the conflicting health advice out there. Because friend, healing doesn't have to be so complicated!  In this episode: Why hormones may be a symptom of something deeper rather than the root cause How tracking basal body temperature for 30 days can reveal helpful cycle clues Why I recommend tracking your food intake for a few days before changing everything What a hair tissue mineral analysis (HTMA) can tell us about mineral patterns Why looking at the basics for 90–100 days can be valuable before pursuing more testing How to stop chasing answers and start building trust in your body How to connect with me for a Missing Piece Session + upcoming retreat updates Follow Me on Instagram & Message Me hello@drheatherrhodes.com Sign Up for My Weekly Newsletter  Thank you so much for tuning in to this episode!

    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 Details on my Missing Piece sessions + Restore Your Progesterone program Follow Me on Instagram & Message Me hello@drheatherrhodes.com Sign Up for My Weekly Newsletter  Thank you so much for tuning in to this episode!

    81. Is Trying to Fix Your Body Breaking it? Let Me Help You Stop Chasing Symptoms & Start Stewarding Your Health

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

    80. Hormone Imbalances Affecting Your Marriage… 4 Dynamics That Could Explain Why

    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.

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   Chat with Me on Instagram  hello@drheatherrhodes.com Sign Up for My Weekly Newsletter    Thank you so much for tuning in to this episode!

    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!
