    Beyond "Normal": Why You're Still Sick When Your Labs Look Fine with Dr. Jade Guerra EP353

    Send us Fan Mail Have you ever been told your lab work is “normal,” but you still feel exhausted, anxious, foggy, inflamed, or like something just isn’t right? You’re not imagining it—and you’re not alone. In this episode of It’s Hertime, Cody sits down with Dr. Jade Guerra, Nurse Practitioner, Doctor of Chiropractic, and Functional Medicine practitioner with nearly 35 years of clinical experience, to explore why so many women continue to struggle despite being told everything looks “fine.” Together they unpack what traditional lab work can miss, why thyroid health is far more complex than a single TSH value, how blood sugar influences everything from hormones to mood, and why healing begins when we stop chasing symptoms and start asking better questions. Whether you’re dealing with fatigue, stubborn weight gain, autoimmune disease, thyroid symptoms, brain fog, or simply know your body is trying to tell you something, this conversation will help you understand what’s happening beneath the surface. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why “normal” lab results don’t always mean optimal healthWhy so many women leave medical appointments feeling unheardWhat “root cause” medicine actually meansHow stress changes hormones, metabolism, and thyroid functionWhy TSH is only one piece of evaluating thyroid healthThe connection between thyroid health, gut health, inflammation, and the liverEarly signs of blood sugar dysregulation that often go unnoticedWhy muscle, protein, sleep, and stress all affect insulin sensitivityWhat contributes to autoimmune disease beyond geneticsHow nutrition, movement, nervous system regulation, and targeted supplementation work together to support healingThe simple daily habits that have the biggest long-term impact on healthDr. Guerra also shares her personal journey—from growing up as a first-generation American to building one of the country’s largest virtual functional medicine practices—and offers encouragement for women who know they don’t feel like themselves but aren’t sure where to turn next. If you’ve ever felt dismissed, discouraged, or frustrated by your health journey, this episode is a reminder that your symptoms deserve curiosity—not dismissal.

    How the Body Decides What Gets Energy: The Hidden Resource Economy Behind Hormones, Fertility & Healing with Nick Dorsey EP352

    Send us Fan Mail What if your body isn’t working against you? What if it’s making intelligent decisions based on the resources it has available? In this episode of It’s Hertime, Cody sits down with biochemist and Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner Nick Dorsey for one of the most thought-provoking conversations we’ve had on the podcast. Together, they explore a powerful idea: the body is constantly evaluating its environment—assessing energy, nutrients, stress, inflammation, toxicity, and biological safety—to determine where its resources should go. When those resources are limited, the body may intentionally downregulate energy-intensive processes like fertility, hormone production, metabolism, immune regulation, and repair. Not because it’s failing—but because it’s adapting. Nick explains why symptoms such as fatigue, hormone imbalances, gut dysfunction, anxiety, weight loss resistance, and even unexplained infertility may be intelligent protective responses rather than isolated problems to “fix.” This conversation will challenge the way you think about health and introduce a systems-based framework that connects the microbiome, mitochondria, minerals, and nervous system into one beautifully integrated picture. If you’ve ever been told your labs are “normal” but you still don’t feel like yourself, this episode offers a refreshing perspective on why that can happen—and what your body may actually be asking for. In this episode, we discuss: ●Why the body is constantly making decisions behind the scenes ●How the body decides where to spend its energy and resources ●Why fertility is an energy and resource decision—not simply a hormone problem ●Why “unexplained infertility” often isn’t unexplained at all ●Why normal lab work doesn’t always mean the body has what it needs to heal or reproduce ●The hidden resource economy behind hormone imbalance, chronic fatigue, thyroid dysfunction, gut issues, anxiety, and inflammation ●The Four Pillars of Biological Readiness: ●The microbiome ●Mitochondrial health ●Mineral balance ●Nervous system regulation ●What “biological safety” really means ●How chronic stress, nutrient deficiencies, toxins, blood sugar instability, inflammation, and poor sleep influence every system in the body ●Why symptom-chasing often keeps people stuck ●What true resilience and healing actually look like Connect with Nick Learn more about Nick’s work at Functional Chemistry.

Connect with Cody One of the themes that came up repeatedly in this conversation is the importance of mineral balance and understanding the body’s unique patterns of adaptation. This is exactly why I use Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) in my practice. HTMA is a functional assessment that measures mineral patterns in the tissues—not just what’s circulating in the blood—to help uncover stress patterns, metabolic tendencies, and mineral imbalances that may be influencing energy, hormones, thyroid function, nervous system regulation, and overall resilience. If you’re tired of being told everything looks “normal” but you still don’t feel like yourself, HTMA can provide a different lens for understanding what your body has been communicating all along. If you’d like to work with me or have an HTMA kit sent directly to your home, send me a DM on Instagram at @codyjeansanders with the word HTMA. I’d love to help you better understand your body’s unique story. If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who needs to hear this conversation. Because sometimes the most important step toward healing isn’t finding another protocol—it’s understanding how brilliantly your body has been working to protect you all along.

    The Hidden Nerve Connection: Could Compression Be Driving Chronic Disease? with Dr. Jacoby EP351

    Send us Fan Mail What if chronic disease isn’t just about hormones, blood sugar, inflammation, or aging, but about communication? In this fascinating conversation, Cody sits down with peripheral nerve surgeon and regenerative medicine pioneer Dr. Richard Jacoby to explore a provocative perspective on health: that many chronic conditions may begin with disrupted communication throughout the nervous system. Dr. Jacoby shares the principles behind his Global Compression Theory, explaining how nerve compression may interfere with blood flow, oxygen delivery, nutrient transport, and the body’s ability to repair itself. Together, they discuss why symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, chronic pain, hormone imbalances, neuropathy, and metabolic dysfunction may all be connected in ways conventional medicine often overlooks. The conversation also dives into blood sugar, insulin resistance, regenerative medicine, stem cells, exosomes, and the future of healing, while thoughtfully exploring why innovative ideas often take decades to become mainstream. Whether you’re navigating perimenopause, menopause, chronic inflammation, unexplained symptoms, or simply want a deeper understanding of how the body heals, this episode offers a fresh perspective on what it means to restore health from the inside out. In this episode, you’ll learn: • Why Dr. Jacoby believes the nervous system is the body’s communication network • What the Global Compression Theory is—and how it may relate to chronic disease • How nerve compression can affect circulation, cellular function, and healing • The connection between metabolism, glucose, insulin, and nerve health • Why neuropathy is about much more than numb feet • Early warning signs that communication within the body may be breaking down • How regenerative medicine, stem cells, and exosomes could transform healthcare • Why medicine is often slow to embrace new ideas • Practical ways to support your nervous system and overall health If this conversation gave you a new perspective on healing, share it with a friend or family member who has been searching for answers.

    Food Isn’t the Problem: What Women Are Really Hungry For with Amber Caudle EP350

    Send us Fan Mail What if your struggles with food have very little to do with food itself? In this powerful conversation, Cody sits down with food relationship coach, chef, and author Amber Caudle to explore the deeper emotional, psychological, and nervous system factors that drive our relationship with food. After decades of battling bingeing, restriction, food obsession, and body shame while building a successful career around food, Amber discovered that food was never the real problem. Instead, it was acting as a messenger—pointing toward unmet needs, chronic stress, emotional wounds, and a disconnection from self.   Together, Cody and Amber unpack why so many women feel trapped in cycles of emotional eating, perfectionism, and self-criticism, and how healing begins when we stop trying to control our bodies and start listening to them.

Whether you’ve struggled with dieting, emotional eating, body image, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself, this conversation offers hope, insight, and practical wisdom for finding peace with food—and with your body. ⸻ In This Episode, We Discuss: Why food is often the language of unmet needsThe hidden emotional drivers behind overeating and food obsessionHow stress and nervous system dysregulation influence eating behaviorsThe difference between physical hunger and emotional hungerWhy willpower is often not the problemThe connection between trauma, food, and body trustHow busyness and over-functioning impact our relationship with nourishmentWhy women often use food as a source of comfort, relief, and self-careThe downside of health perfectionism and wellness overwhelmAging, body image, and learning to trust your body in midlifeWhat food freedom actually looks likeHow to begin making peace with your bodyWhat women are truly hungry for beyond foodAbout Amber Caudle Amber Caudle is a food relationship coach, chef, nervous system healing practitioner, and founder of Nourish Your Power.

    Looking Upstream: The Root Cause of Hormone, Thyroid & Metabolic Issues with Deborah Maragopoulos EP347

    Send us Fan Mail Many women are doing everything "right." They're eating healthy, taking supplements, exercising, seeing specialists, getting labs done… and yet they still feel exhausted, inflamed, anxious, hormonally imbalanced, unable to lose weight, struggling with sleep, gut issues, thyroid symptoms, autoimmune conditions, or fertility challenges. So what if the problem isn't a lack of effort? What if the real issue is happening further upstream? In this fascinating episode of The It's Hertime Podcast, Cody sits down with Deborah Maragopoulos, FNP—better known as "The Hormone Queen"—to discuss the powerful role of the hypothalamus, a small but critical part of the brain that helps regulate hormones, metabolism, sleep, digestion, stress response, immunity, fertility, body temperature, and much more. Drawing from more than 30 years of clinical experience working with complex chronic illness cases, Deborah explains why so many women feel dismissed, why normal labs don't always mean optimal health, and why addressing symptoms alone often fails to create lasting healing. Together, Cody and Deborah explore the connection between stress, the nervous system, thyroid function, gut health, autoimmunity, metabolism, and hormone balance—and what women can do to support the body's communication systems naturally. If you've ever felt like you've tried everything and still don't feel like yourself, this conversation may connect some important dots. In this episode, we discuss: • What the hypothalamus is and why it matters  • Why women can feel terrible despite "normal" lab results  • The connection between stress and hormone signaling  • How nervous system overload impacts metabolism and health  • Why thyroid symptoms persist for some women even on medication  • The relationship between gut health, inflammation, and hormones  • Hashimoto's, autoimmune disease, and chronic stress patterns  • Weight loss resistance, fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, and sleep disruption  • Why so many women feel stuck despite doing all the right things  • Practical ways to support the body's communication systems naturally Connect with Deborah Maragopoulos: Instagram: @deborahmaragopoulosfnp  https://www.instagram.com/deborahmaragopoulosfnp/ YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTwDjUWkxsANSmh2wF5ltSg Website:  https://genesisgold.com Free Gift for It's Hertime Listeners:  https://thehormonequeen.com/hertime Connect with Cody: Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/codyjeansanders/ Mixhers:  Use Code: Cody for 15% off If this episode helped you, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with a friend who needs to hear it.
