Hormone Happy Hour with Dr. Heather Rhodes

In today’s episode of Hormone Happy Hour, I’m talking directly to the women who are past the newborn phase. If you’re one, two, or even five years postpartum and wondering why your energy, mood, cycles, or fertility feel off — this conversation is for you.

We dive into what actually happens to your hormones after pregnancy (hint: it doesn’t magically resolve after the first year) and why mineral depletion plays such a huge role in ...

In this episode, we’re talking about something that impacts energy, hormones, mood, and cravings more than most people realize: blood sugar. We walk through how blood sugar works, the role insulin plays, and why consistent nourishment matters far more than perfection. I also share what I’m seeing in client work, things like how macronutrients, minerals, and total intake all work together to support steady energy and calmer cravings...

In this episode of the Hormone Happy Hour podcast, I’m talking about something that quietly influences everything in our health: seasonal rhythms. This conversation about what it actually looks like to live in sync with the natural rhythms God designed our bodies to follow. From light exposure and sleep to food, minerals, and daily routines, so much of hormone balance comes back to alignment, not force.

We talk about circadian rhyt...

Here’s the thing: many women are not eating enough to support their hormones, even when they’re eating “clean,” prioritizing protein, and taking all the right supplements. I see this constantly in client work, and I’ve lived it myself. If your body doesn’t have enough fuel, it can’t make hormones well, especially progesterone, no matter how hard you’re trying to do everything “right.”

This episode of The Hormone Happy Hour,  is all...

In this episode of The Hormone Happy Hour, I’m sharing how my relationship with exercise has completely shifted and why I think a lot of women are unintentionally working against their hormones in the name of “being healthy.” This conversation is especially for the woman who loves movement, wants to feel strong, and also wants her body to actually respond well instead of feeling more depleted, inflamed, or stuck.

We’re talking hone...

In this episode of Hormone Happy Hour, I’m back in conversation with Leisha Drews, and we’re doing something we both love which is zooming out and looking ahead.

As we wrap up another year of deep client work, personal experimentation, and real-life learning, we wanted to talk openly about the health trends we’re seeing emerge for 2026 — not from a hype or fear-based place, but from experience, discernment, and stewardship of the b...

In this episode of Hormone Happy Hour, I’m connecting some dots that don’t get talked about nearly enough especially during the busy, overstimulating holiday season.

We’re talking about nervous system regulation… not just in you, but in your entire household. Because the truth is, your kids don’t regulate in isolation. They’re responding to the emotional, energetic, and relational environment around them and that includes you, your...

This week on Hormone Happy Hour, Leisha Drews (host of the Happily Hormonal Podcast) and I are sitting down for a real, reflective conversation — not as interviewer and guest, but as two women looking back on the year and sharing what truly made a difference for our health in 2025.

This episode is part reflection, part encouragement, and part “behind the scenes” of what it really looks like to tend to your health over a full year —...

This week on Hormone Happy Hour, we start with a little real-life catch-up filling you in on upcoming workshops, new programs launching in January, and a few fun personal updates, but then we settle into what this episode is really about.

If your health journey has felt frustrating, confusing, or like you’ve tried everything without getting lasting results… I want this conversation to feel like a deep exhale.

In this episode, I bre...

This week’s episode of Hormone Happy Hour is definitely a spicy one, we’re talking libido, intimacy, connection, and what’s actually going on when your sex drive feels low, inconsistent, or completely missing. I walk through the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual pieces that make up a healthy libido. Everything from low progesterone and estrogen dominance to nervous system overload, mineral depletion, and the patterns that ...

This week on Hormone Happy Hour, I’m sharing a little post–Black Friday debrief (because whew… the online chaos was a lot), and why I’m more committed than ever to keeping this space peaceful, intentional, and supportive for you. 

Then we dive into something I’ve been thinking about deeply: how to actually prepare your body, mind, and spirit for the goals you want to pursue in the new year.

We talk about why clarity matters, what a...

This week’s Hormone Happy Hour feels a little extra special, because this episode is to truly just encourage you.

If you’ve been praying for something — healing, fertility, clarity, peace — and it feels like it’s taking forever to show up… this episode is for you. Let’s talk about what it looks like to truly surrender, hold onto God’s promises, and break agreement with the belief that “delay” means “denied.”

✨ Here’s what we talk a...

In this week’s episode of Hormone Happy Hour, I’m answering a common question that so many of you have probably wondered: “How do I know how much I should be eating?”

I share what I call your “metabolic bank account” (and why trying to withdraw before you’ve deposited enough always backfires), plus how a hair mineral test can help you identify what your body’s truly asking for right now.

✨ Here’s what we cover in this episode:

This week on Hormone Happy Hour, I’m joined by my friend and fellow practitioner Leisha Drews, and we’re sitting down for the kind of conversation we always end up having behind the scenes. We cover what we’re seeing most often in women’s health right now - things like rough periods, low energy, mood swings, histamine flares, and mineral depletion and how they’re all connected beneath the surface. 

✨Here’s what we’re chatting about...

Hey friends! I’m recording this episode from the chilly Georgia mountains this week (yay for fuzzy socks, cozy drinks, and mountain air 🏔️☕️), and I’m diving into a topic that’s been a cornerstone of my business & client support through the years: PCOS.

In this episode, I’m breaking down what PCOS actually is, how metabolic dysfunction plays a huge role, and why balancing your insulin, inflammation, and stress levels can chang...

Fresh from a trip to New York, we’re diving into one of the most foundational topics in hormone health which is the Iron-Copper Recycling System.

If you’ve ever struggled with fatigue, hormone imbalance, fertility challenges, endometriosis, PCOS, or autoimmune issues, this episode is going to connect some major dots. We’re talking about how your body uses (and reuses) iron and copper, what happens when this process breaks down, and...

This week on Hormone Happy Hour, we’re talking about the things that really move the needle when it comes to fertility — and no, it’s not just about timing or supplements.I’m sharing the non-negotiables that make the fertility journey more effective, aligned, and peace-filled. These are the practical steps, the energetic shifts, and the faith-led mindset that help you create the environment your body (and relationship) need to thri...

Before we dive in, I’m sharing a quick personal update — yes, I finally completed a parasite cleanse! 🫣 It was eye-opening, humbling, and surprisingly freeing (in more ways than one!). But more than that, it reminded me how deeply physical, emotional, and spiritual healing are connected. That realization leads perfectly into today’s episode — because we’re tackling a topic I know so many have wrestled with: unexplained infertility...

This week I’m taking you behind the scenes into something I’ve never shared before — my husband’s and my own lab results. We sat down and there’s so much to unpack.

In this episode of Hormone Happy Hour, I’m walking you through what we found, how I interpret these results, and why minerals like copper, magnesium, potassium, and vitamin A are such game-changers for energy, hormones, and whole-body health. You’ll also hear where I se...
