• 24. Health Goals Framework: The 4-Phase Approach I Use to Help Women Move from Stuck to Supported
    Jul 28 2025

    There is a lot of health and wellness information out there, but what is best for you! I want to teach you a specific framework that will help you develope a specific strategy to approach your health goals. This takes you from feeling confused to clear on what is best for you to achieve your wellness goals.

    In this episode of the Hormone Happy Hour Podcast, I’m sharing a simple, powerful framework I use with clients (and in my own life!) to move out of survival mode and into healing and growth—without getting overwhelmed by “all the things.”

    We talk about:

    • The 4 phases of the healing journey: survival, stabilization, healing, and growth
    • What it means to shift between masculine and feminine energy in your approach to health
    • How to ask better questions so you can stop spinning your wheels
    • What health “KPIs” are and how to find the ones that actually matter for your season
    • How to use labs strategically—not obsessively
    • Why honoring your current season is key to seeing progress and peace

    Whether you're feeling depleted and unsure where to start, or you’ve been tracking your labs and still feel off—this episode will help you zoom out and reconnect with your body’s original design.

    Your period is more than just a monthly event—it’s a reflection of what’s going on in your body, your hormones, and even your nervous system. And in this week’s episode, we’re walking through what those signs, shifts, and symptoms actually mean.

    We’ll unpack:

    • What’s really happening with progesterone and estrogen throughout your cycle
    • The connection between irregular cycles, PMS, low mood, and thyroid support
    • How your period changes with age—and what to pay attention to in your 20s, 30s, and 40s
    • The spiritual and emotional layers of your cycle (yes, they matter!)
    • Encouragement to tune into ovulation, cycle cues, and the rhythms your body’s trying to show you

    You’ll also hear some of my favorite questions from a rapid-fire Q&A, and practical tips you can start using right away—without overhauling your life.

    Jul 14 2025

    This episode is a little different—in the best way. I’m letting you in on some real-life client conversations (shared with love and permission) so you can hear how we navigate hormone health, emotional well-being, and spiritual alignment in real time.

    From fertility and thyroid challenges to nervous system overload and burnout, we’re covering it all. You’ll hear me walk through personalized strategies, mindset shifts, and spiritual insights that come up in my 1:1 support—kind of like a behind-the-scenes peek into my Voxer inbox.

    Here’s what we chat about:

    • How emotions, trauma, and faith tie into fertility and hormone health
    • Adjusting thyroid medication (and advocating for yourself at the doctor’s office)
    • Reintroducing gluten and dairy in a way that actually works with your body
    • MTHFR, detox support, and the overlooked role of enriched grains
    • Healing through nervous system regulation, rest, and feminine energy
    • Shifting out of burnout mode and building rhythms that work for your life
    • How to think about fitness, food, and spiritual well-being in the same breath

    Whether you’re walking through a specific diagnosis or just trying to make sense of what your body is telling you, this episode will help you feel seen, supported, and less alone.

  • 21. Taboo Topics: Alcohol, THC, CBD, Progesterone Creams, & More
    Jul 7 2025

    Okay, we’re going there. 👀 In this episode of Hormone Happy Hour, I’m diving into some of the most commonly asked—but rarely talked about—topics when it comes to hormone health: alcohol, CBD, THC, and progesterone creams.

    These things come up in DMs, consults, and real-life convos with girlfriends... so we’re sitting down for a chat about what they actually do to your body, your hormones, and your healing.

    I’m also sharing some personal updates from my latest functional lab work—what surprised me, what it confirmed, and how it’s shifting the way I support my body right now.

    Here’s what we’re chatting about:

    • What I found out from my own labs (and why I think more women need access to this kind of insight)
    • How alcohol impacts progesterone, detox, and your nervous system more than you think
    • What to consider when it comes to CBD or THC, especially if you’re on a healing journey
    • Why I don’t recommend progesterone creams (even though they’re everywhere)
    • Fertility myths, alcohol in pregnancy, and how to make decisions that feel aligned—not pressured
    • And yes… how to invite God into the gray areas that don’t always come with clear-cut answers

    This is one of those episodes that feels like a heart-to-heart over mocktails and good skincare—judgment-free, info-packed, and super grounded in what it means to live in sync with your body and your values.

    ✨ PS—We’ve still got a few free consult calls open, and some fun stuff coming soon to support your progesterone naturally.

  • 20. Let’s Chat About Hormonal Acne, Skincare, & Achieving Clear Skin Naturally
    Jun 30 2025

    In this episode, we’re unpacking the deeper layers of acne—because breakouts are rarely just about your skincare routine.

    I’m walking you through the real connection between your hormones, your gut, and your skin, and how things like stress, low progesterone, blood sugar swings, and sluggish detox pathways can show up on your face.

    We talk about:

    • The role of progesterone in calming inflammation
    • What your skin might be telling you about your gut and liver
    • Why cutting out sugar or dairy can feel like it “works”—and what to do instead How I’ve shifted from conventional products to cleaner, non–pore clogging ones (without going overboard)
    • Ways to support your skin in each phase of your cycle
    • Why true healing doesn’t start with surface-level fixes—it starts with restoring balance where your body feels safe to repair

  • 19. Lift Your Libido: What to Do When You Don't Want to Do It
    Jun 23 2025

    In this episode of Hormone Happy Hour, we’re exploring a topic that deserves more depth, nuance, and support: female libido. Low desire is often brushed off or misunderstood—but the truth is, your body is always speaking. And when it comes to libido, there’s usually more going on beneath the surface.

    We’ll look at libido through the lens of emotional health, hormone balance, spiritual alignment, and nervous system support, and I’ll share what I’ve seen work (and what might be keeping you stuck).

    Inside this episode, we’ll unpack:

    • The connection between cortisol, oxytocin, and dopamine
    • Why progesterone matters more than you think
    • How resentment, overstimulation, and burnout can block desire
    • The cyclical nature of libido and how to stop labeling it as “low”
    • Practical steps to reconnect with your body and foster deeper intimacy
    • Why sleep and a sense of safety are essential foundations for desire

    This isn’t a quick fix—it’s a whole-self approach to helping you feel more alive, more connected, and more at peace in your body again.

    ✨ A huge thank you to Cozy Earth for sponsoring this episode. Their temperature-regulating sheets have been a game-changer in helping me get better rest (and y’all know sleep impacts everything—including libido). Use code DRHEATHER at cozyearth.com for 40% off sheets, PJs, and more.

    Let’s explore what it means to sleep like we’re designed to—with peace, intention, and the kind of trust that only comes when you feel safe to let go.

  • 18. Sperm Health: A Whole-Body View of Male Reproduction
    Jun 16 2025

    In this episode of Hormone Happy Hour, I’m bringing attention to a piece of the fertility puzzle that’s often ignored: sperm health.

    So often, the focus is solely on the woman’s body—but male fertility plays a huge role in outcomes, whether you’re preparing your body for pregnancy or working to restore balance first. There’s a lot more to it than just sperm count, and today we’re getting into all the layers.

    I’m walking you through:

    • What sperm analysis really tells us (beyond just count)
    • Markers like DNA fragmentation, morphology, and pH levels
    • Lifestyle shifts, supplements, and gut support that can make a difference
    • How stress, sleep, and emotional well-being affect male fertility
    • Why masculine/feminine energy alignment in your relationship matters more than you think

    This episode is part science, part heart, and a little summer fun—and it’s one I hope you’ll share with your partner or someone who needs to hear it.

    ✨ And a big thank you to Cozy Earth for sponsoring this episode! They make my favorite temperature-regulating sleep essentials that support deep rest (and yes—rest matters for sperm health, too). Use code DRHEATHER at cozyearth.com for 40% off your order. You’ll feel the difference the very first night.

  • 17. Nighttime Healing: Unlocking the Power of Rest for Your Body and Spirit
    Jun 9 2025

    In this episode, I’m kicking off a special summer series where we’re diving deep into some of the most-requested wellness topics—starting with sleep (because wow, does it impact everything!).

    This one’s especially close to home for me. I’ve walked through my own struggles with insomnia and restless nights, and I know how defeating it can feel when your body just won’t rest—even when you’re doing “all the right things.” So today, I’m walking you through the real connection between sleep and your hormones—how it affects your libido, intimacy, fertility, stress, and even gut health.

    You’ll hear:

    • Why quality sleep is so much more than just getting 8 hours
    • What’s going on with your hormones when you can’t fall—or stay—asleep
    • Emotional and spiritual aspects of rest we don’t talk about enough
    • Practical (and doable) ways to regulate your circadian rhythm, support blood sugar, and create a calming sensory-rich routine

    Whether you’re in a season of night-waking, stress dreaming, or just want to feel more rested and alive—this episode will help you tune into what your body actually needs.

    Thank you to Cozy Earth for sponsoring this episode! If you’re ready to upgrade your summer sleep routine, this is your sign. Go to cozyearth.com and use code DRHEATHER for 40% off their best-selling temperature-regulating sheets, ultra-comfy loungewear, and more. Trust me—you’ll feel the difference the very first night.
