Have you ever been told your lab work is ânormal,â but you still feel exhausted, anxious, foggy, inflamed, or like something just isnât right?
Youâre not imagining itâand youâre not alone.
In this episode of Itâs 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 âfine.â
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 youâre 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 whatâs happening beneath the surface.
In this episode, youâll learn:
Why ânormalâ lab results donât always mean optimal healthWhy so many women leave medical appointments feeling unheardWhat âroot causeâ 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 journeyâfrom growing up as a first-generation American to building one of the countryâs largest virtual functional medicine practicesâand offers encouragement for women who know they donât feel like themselves but arenât sure where to turn next.
If youâve ever felt dismissed, discouraged, or frustrated by your health journey, this episode is a reminder that your symptoms deserve curiosityânot dismissal.

What if your body isnât working against you?
What if itâs making intelligent decisions based on the resources it has available?
In this episode of Itâs Hertime, Cody sits down with biochemist and Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner Nick Dorsey for one of the most thought-provoking conversations weâve had on the podcast.
Together, they explore a powerful idea: the body is constantly evaluating its environmentâassessing energy, nutrients, stress, inflammation, toxicity, and biological safetyâto 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 itâs failingâbut because itâs 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 âfix.â
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 youâve ever been told your labs are ânormalâ but you still donât feel like yourself, this episode offers a refreshing perspective on why that can happenâand what your body may actually be asking for.
In this episode, we discuss:
âWhy the body is constantly making decisions behind the scenes
âHow the body decides where to spend its energy and resources
âWhy fertility is an energy and resource decisionânot simply a hormone problem
âWhy âunexplained infertilityâ often isnât unexplained at all
âWhy normal lab work doesnât always mean the body has what it needs to heal or reproduce
âThe hidden resource economy behind hormone imbalance, chronic fatigue, thyroid dysfunction, gut issues, anxiety, and inflammation
âThe Four Pillars of Biological Readiness:
âThe microbiome
âMitochondrial health
âMineral balance
âNervous system regulation
âWhat âbiological safetyâ really means
âHow chronic stress, nutrient deficiencies, toxins, blood sugar instability, inflammation, and poor sleep influence every system in the body
âWhy symptom-chasing often keeps people stuck
âWhat true resilience and healing actually look like

One of the themes that came up repeatedly in this conversation is the importance of mineral balance and understanding the bodyâs 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 tissuesânot just whatâs circulating in the bloodâto help uncover stress patterns, metabolic tendencies, and mineral imbalances that may be influencing energy, hormones, thyroid function, nervous system regulation, and overall resilience.
If youâre tired of being told everything looks ânormalâ but you still donât feel like yourself, HTMA can provide a different lens for understanding what your body has been communicating all along.
If youâd 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. Iâd love to help you better understand your bodyâs unique story.

Because sometimes the most important step toward healing isnât finding another protocolâitâs understanding how brilliantly your body has been working to protect you all along.

What if chronic disease isnât 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 bodyâs 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 youâre 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, youâll learn:
⢠Why Dr. Jacoby believes the nervous system is the bodyâs communication network
⢠What the Global Compression Theory isâand 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.

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 messengerâpointing 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.
This episode is a compassionate invitation to move beyond food rules and willpower and toward self-trust, nervous system regulation, and true nourishment.
Whether youâve 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 foodâand 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. Through her coaching work, she helps women heal their relationship with food by addressing the deeper emotional, behavioral, and nervous system patterns that often drive food struggles. Amber combines nutrition, eating psychology, somatic practices, and nervous system regulation to help women reconnect with their bodies and themselves.
She is also the author of Hungry: Reclaiming Food Freedom and Finding Peace in Your Body, a book that shares her personal journey from food obsession and self-abandonment to body trust and self-compassion.

Why do so many successful women still feel overwhelmed, exhausted, and trapped by the very lives they've worked so hard to build?
Many women assume they need better time management, more discipline, or a more efficient schedule. But according to Dr. Ann Tsung, the real issue may not be time at all.
In this episode, Cody sits down with NASA Flight Surgeon, triple-board-certified physician, entrepreneur, and founder of Productivity MD, Dr. Ann Tsung, to explore her powerful framework: The 5 Stages of Time Freedomâ .
Drawing from her experience as a physician, mother, entrepreneur, and high performerâand the lessons she learned during a 1.5-year sabbatical from NASAâDr. Tsung explains why so many ambitious women feel stuck despite their success and how they can begin creating a life that feels more aligned, intentional, and free.
Together, they discuss productivity, people-pleasing, boundaries, flow states, energy management, and the hidden beliefs that keep women trapped in cycles of overwhelm.
If you've ever felt like you're carrying everything, constantly checking boxes, and still wondering why you don't feel free, this conversation will give you a new way to think about success, time, and what truly matters.
In This Episode:
What "fake time freedom" looks like Why successful women often feel overwhelmed despite doing everything right The 5 Stages of Time Freedomâ How to identify which stage you're currently in What keeps women stuck as "Time Prisoners" Why productivity and freedom are not the same thing The neuroscience behind flow states How energy management impacts performance Common energy leaks, including people-pleasing, perfectionism, and lack of boundaries Why women may be suffering from a lack of permission to protect their time Lessons learned from a 1.5-year sabbatical from NASA Practical strategies to create more freedom, fulfillment, and flow in everyday lifeConnect with Dr. Ann Tsung

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, FNPâbetter known as "The Hormone Queen"âto 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 balanceâand 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

Marina is the Founder of Scottsdale Hydrotherapy and Co-Founder of Trust Your Gut. After battling chronic constipation, parasites, mold toxicity, and debilitating fatigue herself, she became passionate about helping women understand digestion, drainage pathways, detox support, and the gut-brain connection in a realistic and approachable way.
Together, Cody and Marina unpack:
⢠Why constipation is so common in women
⢠Signs your drainage pathways may be sluggish
⢠The connection between gut health and hormones
⢠How stress impacts digestion and elimination
⢠Why detox can sometimes make people feel worse
⢠Parasites, cravings, anxiety, and inflammation
⢠Coffee enemas, castor oil packs, colonics, and affordable at-home tools
⢠The nervous systemâs role in bloating and gut dysfunction
⢠Why healing doesnât have to be extreme or expensiveThis episode is funny, eye-opening, educational, and incredibly validating for women who feel bloated, inflamed, exhausted, hormonally off, or dismissed by conventional approaches.

What if the symptoms we experience are actually important clues about what the body is navigating beneath the surface?
In todayâs episode, Cody sits down with naturopathic practitioner and certified homeopath Anne Dunev for a deep conversation about the powerful connection between stress, hormones, gut health, mindset, and chronic illness.
After her own battle with ulcerative colitis and being told she may never fully recover, Anne began asking deeper questions about what was happening physically, emotionally, and neurologically. That search led her into over 30 years of studying how the body responds to stress, unresolved emotional patterns, infections, inflammation, and hormonal imbalance.
Together, Cody and Anne explore:
Why so many women feel dismissed when labs come back ânormalâThe connection between chronic stress and hormone dysfunctionHow gut symptoms are often tied to the nervous systemWhy unresolved emotional stress can affect physical healingThe relationship between inflammation, cortisol, and digestive issuesThe importance of learning the language of symptoms instead of suppressing themAnne also shares how her work has incorporated principles from Dianetics, a self-development philosophy created by L. Ron Hubbard that explores how past experiences, stress patterns, and subconscious reactions may influence emotional and physical well-being. Cody and Anne discuss the broader idea that the mind and body are deeply connected and that healing often requires addressing both physiology and perception.
This episode is thoughtful, layered, and eye-opening for anyone who has ever felt like theyâve been searching for deeper answers about their health.
Whether youâre struggling with hormone imbalance, digestive symptoms, chronic stress, burnout, or simply trying to understand yourself better, this conversation will leave you looking at healing through a completely different lens.

In this deep dive episode, Cody Sanders breaks down Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) and explains why it has become one of her favorite tools for understanding womenâs health through an entirely different lens.
This conversation goes far beyond âjust minerals.â
Cody explores how stress, burnout, nervous system dysregulation, blood sugar instability, trauma, hormone imbalance, thyroid dysfunction, PCOS, fertility struggles, and menopause all influence the bodyâs internal terrain â and why so many women feel exhausted, inflamed, anxious, and dismissed despite being told their labs look ânormal.â
Youâll learn how the body adapts to chronic stress over time, why minerals are foundational for energy and hormone signaling, and how healing shifts when we stop fighting the body and start understanding what itâs been trying to communicate all along.
Throughout the episode, Cody shares powerful client stories that illustrate how rebuilding the bodyâs terrain through nourishment, mineral support, nervous system regulation, blood sugar stability, and recovery can completely change a womanâs healing journey.
In This Episode, We Cover:
What HTMA (Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis) actually isWhy minerals matter for hormones, metabolism, and nervous system regulationThe connection between chronic stress and mineral depletionWhy women can have ânormalâ thyroid labs but still feel hypothyroidCellular energy, mineral balance, and hormone signalingFast oxidizers vs. slow oxidizers explained simplyHow HTMA can reveal stress adaptation patternsPCOS through a terrain-based and nervous system lensWhy restriction and overtraining can backfireThe importance of mineral reserves before pregnancyHow menopause can expose underlying depletion patternsAutoimmunity, burnout, and loss of resilienceWhy healing is about support, not punishmentHow nervous system regulation changes everythingKey Takeaways
Symptoms are communication, not failureThe body adapts to the environment it believes itâs living inHormones cannot be separated from the terrain they operate withinMineral balance affects energy production, stress resilience, thyroid function, detoxification, blood sugar regulation, and nervous system healthMany women are functioning in survival mode without realizing itHealing often begins when the body finally feels safe enough to stop compensatingResources and Links:

If youâve ever felt like youâre doing everything ârightââŚ
eating well, taking the supplements, showing up for your lifeâŚ
âŚbut youâre still exhausted, stuck, or not seeing the results you expectedâ
this episode is going to connect some major dots for you.
Because sometimesâŚ
itâs not about doing more.
Itâs about whatâs happening underneath it all.
Your nervous system.
In this episode of Itâs Hertime, Cody sits down with Annie Yatch, who brings a fascinating perspective from her background in counterterrorismâwhere she was trained to identify hidden threats before they became visible problems.
Now, she applies that same lens to high-performing women, helping them uncover the internal patterns, nervous system overload, and subconscious dynamics that quietly keep them stuck⌠even when everything on the outside looks like it should be working.
This conversation is powerful, eye-opening, and deeply validating for any woman who has ever asked:
âWhy do I feel this way when Iâm doing everything right?â
⸝
What Youâll Learn in This Episode
⢠Why doing âall the right thingsâ still isnât enough for many women
⢠How your nervous system quietly shapes your energy, hormones, and capacity
⢠The concept of internal vs external threatsâand why internal ones matter more
⢠How being âthe strong oneâ can actually keep you stuck
⢠The connection between your home life, stress patterns, and physical health
⢠Why your body wonât respond if it doesnât feel safe
⢠Practical ways to begin regulating your nervous system today
⢠How to finally shift from pushing harder â to actually feeling better
⸝
Key Takeaway
You cannot out-diet, out-supplement, or out-strategize a body that doesnât feel safe.
When you begin supporting both your nervous system and your physical bodyâŚ
thatâs when your energy shifts, your hormones respond, and things start to feel lighter.

If you feel like your body suddenly stopped responding in your 40s or 50s⌠youâre not imagining it.
Youâre eating well. Youâre trying to stay active. Youâre doing what used to work.

What if one of the most important factors in fertility⌠isnât something youâre eating, supplementing, or trackingâbut something youâre breathing?
In this episode of Itâs Hertime, Cody sits down with Dr. Kathryn C. Worrilow, a globally recognized expert in reproductive science and environmental health, to uncover a hidden piece of the fertility conversation that most womenâand even many clinicsâarenât talking about:
Air quality.
With over 20 years in reproductive medicine and more than 75 scientific publications, Dr. Worrilow shares how invisible airborne contaminants can directly impact reproductive health, embryo development, and pregnancy outcomes.
And hereâs where it gets especially eye-openingâ
this research began inside IVF labs.
Environments that are meant to be some of the most controlled and protectiveâŚ
yet even there, air quality has been shown to significantly influence success rates.
Which raises a bigger question:
If it matters that much there⌠what about the air weâre exposed to every day?
In this conversation, we explore:
â˘The moment Dr. Worrilow realized air quality could be impacting fertility outcomes
â˘Whatâs actually in the air (and how it affects the body)
â˘Why this matters even if youâre trying to conceive naturally
â˘What most fertility clinics arenât talking about
â˘The data behind improved IVF success rates with better air quality
â˘Simple, practical ways to improve the air quality in your home
This episode is a powerful reminder that your body is constantly responding to its environmentâand sometimes, the most overlooked factors are the ones that matter most.
Whether youâre on a fertility journey, supporting someone who is, or simply want to create a healthier space for your body to thrive, this conversation will open your eyes in the best way.

What if the symptoms youâve been trying to fixâŚ
arenât actually hormone problems?
In this episode of Itâs Hertime, Cody sits down with Laura Federico and Morgan Miller, co-authors of The Cycle Book, to explore a perspective most women have never been taught:
That what we often label as âhormone imbalanceâ⌠may actually be a nervous system that doesnât feel safe.
From PMDD and mood swings to libido and cycle-related anxiety, this conversation reframes whatâs really happening in the bodyâand why so many women feel like a completely different person throughout the month.
If youâve ever felt like:
â˘Youâre doing everything ârightâ but still feel off
â˘Your mood shifts feel intense or unpredictable
â˘You dread certain phases of your cycle
â˘Your libido feels inconsistent or confusing
â˘Youâve been told itâs âjust hormonesâ⌠but it doesnât fully explain it
This episode will connect some powerful dots.
In this conversation, we talk about:
â˘What it actually means to live in a âbracingâ state
â˘The connection between nervous system safety and hormone symptoms
â˘A deeper look at PMDD and mood shifts (beyond just hormones)
â˘Why cycle tracking apps can sometimes disconnect you from your body
â˘How to start tracking your cycle intuitively, without relying on an app
â˘The relationship between safety, stress, and libido
â˘Simple, realistic ways to begin building safety in your body
This episode is an invitation to stop asking,
âWhatâs wrong with me?â
âŚand start asking,
âWhat is my body trying to tell me?â
Because when your body feels safe,
everythingâfrom your hormones to your energy to your moodâstarts to shift.

Heavy periods. Constant fatigue. Brain fog. Hair loss.
And yet⌠your labs come back ânormal.â
So youâre told everything looks fineâand maybe to take more iron.
But what if the issue isnât that you donât have enough ironâŚ
what if your body just isnât able to use it effectively?
In this episode of the Itâs Hertime Podcast,Cody is joined by Samantha Chandler from Wellness & Womb to explore a perspective thatâs often missing in womenâs health conversations: iron regulation.
Together they talk about why so many women experience heavy periods and low energyâeven when their iron levels appear normalâand how iron can become âstuckâ in the body, meaning itâs not being properly transported to the tissues that need it most.
As a Functional Diagnostic Nutritionist, Cody also shares how she uses Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) to look at mineral patterns and better understand whatâs happening beneath the surfaceâespecially when symptoms donât match standard lab results.
If youâve ever felt dismissed by ânormalâ labs⌠or frustrated that what youâre doing isnât workingâthis episode will help you start asking better questions.
⸝
What Youâll Learn
â˘Why heavy periods arenât always caused by low iron
â˘The difference between iron levels vs. iron regulation
â˘What it means for iron to be âstuckâ in the body
â˘Why you can feel exhausted even with ânormalâ labs
â˘How iron impacts menstrual health, hormones, and fertility
â˘The role of minerals like copper, zinc, and magnesium in iron metabolism
â˘Why iron supplements donât always improve symptoms
â˘How inflammation and stress can block iron utilization (hello, hepcidin)
â˘A more holistic way to approach fatigue and hormone imbalance

Why do some diets work beautifully for one person⌠and completely backfire for another?
In this episode of Itâs Hertime, Cody Sanders sits down with Neha Shah, founder of Diaspora Nutrition, to explore a more nuanced question:
Should we be eating based on our ancestry?
Together, they unpack the growing conversation around personalized nutrition â and whether our genetics, lineage, and cultural food patterns play a meaningful role in how our bodies respond to food.
This conversation moves beyond trendy diets and into something deeper:
understanding the context of your body.
They explore:
â˘Whether ancestry actually impacts metabolism, digestion, and food tolerance
â˘The science behind lactase persistence, amylase variation, and microbiome adaptation
â˘Why âeat for your ancestryâ can be helpful⌠or overly simplified
â˘What to consider if you have mixed or unknown heritage
â˘Whether genetic and microbiome testing is worth it â or overhyped
â˘Why many women in midlife suddenly feel more sensitive to foods they used to tolerate
â˘How to approach nutrition with curiosity instead of control
This episode is especially powerful for women in their 40s and 50s who feel like their body is changing â and want a more personalized, intelligent way to support it.
Because maybe the better question isnât:
âWhat diet works?â
Itâs: âWhat does my body actually respond well to now?â

Hot flashes. Brain fog. Weight gain. Poor sleep. Anxiety. Low libido.
For many women over 40, these symptoms begin during perimenopause and menopause, yet theyâre often dismissed as simply ânormal aging.â
In this episode of Itâs Hertime, Cody Sanders sits down with Dr. Melissa Miskell, a physician with more than 30 years of experience helping women navigate menopause, hormone imbalance, and hormone replacement therapy (HRT).
Together they break down what bioidentical hormone therapy actually is, how it differs from older synthetic hormone treatments, and why many women still struggle to receive proper hormone care.
After the 2002 Womenâs Health Initiative study, the conversation around hormone therapy shifted dramatically. Many physicians stopped prescribing HRT, leaving countless women navigating perimenopause symptoms and menopause symptoms without clear guidance or support.
Dr. Miskell explains how individualized hormone therapy works, why hormone changes impact so many aspects of health, and how restoring hormonal balance may improve both quality of life and long-term health outcomes.
This conversation also explores the connection between hormones and heart health, brain health, bone density, and metabolic healthâtopics every woman should understand as she enters midlife.
If youâre a woman over 40 experiencing symptoms like hot flashes, fatigue, brain fog, or mood changes, this episode will help you better understand your options and advocate for your health.

Perimenopause and menopause are some of the most transformativeâand misunderstoodâseasons of a womanâs life. Yet many women seeking help for symptoms like brain fog, irritability, low libido, weight gain, and fatigue are told their labs are ânormalâ or that what theyâre experiencing is simply part of aging.
In this episode of Itâs Hertime, Cody Sanders sits down with Dana Culp, Doctor of Nursing Practice and Certified Menopause Expert, to talk about the growing menopause care gapâand why so many women feel dismissed by the medical system during midlife.
Dana works with women navigating perimenopause and menopause every day in her clinics. What makes her approach unique is her commitment to truly individualized care. Instead of relying only on lab numbers or rigid treatment guidelines, she looks at the full picture of a womanâs physiology, lifestyle, stress load, and hormonal transitions.
Together, Cody and Dana unpack why midlife symptoms are often misunderstood, how dismissal from healthcare providers impacts women emotionally, and what supportive care during this stage of life should actually look like.
If youâve ever felt unseen, unheard, or told to âjust wait it out,â this conversation will help you understand whatâs really happening in your bodyâand why you deserve better support.

In this meaningful episode of Itâs Hertime, Cody Sanders sits down with Aubin Palmerâregistered nurse turned author, mother of three daughters, and creator of the Power Women movementâfor an honest conversation about what happens when strong, capable women start to feel quietly disconnected from themselves.
Aubin shares her journey from working as an RN caring for women in vulnerable seasons to feeling the persistent inner nudge that there was more she was meant to create. That calling ultimately led to the creation of Power Women, a collaborative book featuring the lived experiences of more than 50 women whose stories remind readers that power doesnât always look loud, polished, or linear.
Together, Cody and Aubin explore the emotional and identity shifts many women faceâespecially during motherhood, burnout, hormonal transitions, and major life pivotsâand why so many high-capacity women find themselves feeling stretched thin or disconnected despite doing everything âright.â
They also discuss the powerful themes that emerged from compiling womenâs stories, why storytelling can be deeply healing for the nervous system, and how the Power Women movement is giving forward by placing books into the hands of women navigating particularly tender seasons, including postpartum mothers.
This episode is a supportive listen for any woman who has been the helper, the caretaker, or the one holding everything togetherâand is ready to come back home to herself.
In this episode, listeners will learn:
â˘Aubin Palmerâs transition from registered nurse to movement builder
â˘Why strong women often experience seasons of disconnection
â˘The most common themes that emerged from 50+ womenâs stories
â˘What power really looks like in quiet or difficult seasons
â˘How storytelling supports emotional and nervous system healing
â˘Who the Power Women book is especially meant to support
â˘How the book is being donated to women in challenging circumstances
â˘One small step women can take this week to reconnect with themselves
This episode is especially for women who:
â˘Feel torn between caring for others and caring for themselves
â˘Are navigating postpartum, burnout, or identity shifts
â˘Have been told theyâre âdoing greatâ but donât feel like themselves
â˘Are craving reconnection, clarity, and emotional steadiness
â˘Want to feel seen and understood in this season of life
