Hot flashes. Brain fog. Weight gain. Poor sleep. Anxiety. Low libido.

For many women over 40, these symptoms begin during perimenopause and menopause, yet they’re often dismissed as simply “normal aging.”

In this episode of It’s 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 Women’s 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 health—topics every woman should understand as she enters midlife.

If you’re 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.

• What bioidentical hormone therapy (HRT) is and how it works
• The difference between synthetic hormones and bioidentical hormones
• Why many women are dismissed when seeking help for menopause symptoms
• What changed in hormone therapy after the Women’s Health Initiative study
• Why antidepressants are often prescribed instead of evaluating hormones
• How hormones influence heart health, brain health, and bone density
• Why individualized hormone therapy can improve quality of life in midlife
• The first steps women can take if they suspect hormone imbalance

In this meaningful episode of It’s Hertime, Cody Sanders sits down with Aubin Palmer—registered nurse turned author, mother of three daughters, and creator of the Power Women movement—for 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 doesn’t always look loud, polished, or linear.

Together, Cody and Aubin explore the emotional and identity shifts many women face—especially during motherhood, burnout, hormonal transitions, and major life pivots—and why so many high-capacity women find themselves feeling stretched thin or disconnected despite doing everything “right.”

They also discuss the powerful themes that emerged from compiling women’s 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 together—and is ready to come back home to herself.

In this episode, listeners will learn:

•Aubin Palmer’s transition from registered nurse to movement builder

•Why strong women often experience seasons of disconnection

•The most common themes that emerged from 50+ women’s stories

•What power really looks like in quiet or difficult seasons

•How storytelling supports emotional and nervous system healing

•Who the Power Women book is especially meant to support

•How the book is being donated to women in challenging circumstances

•One small step women can take this week to reconnect with themselves

This episode is especially for women who:

•Feel torn between caring for others and caring for themselves

•Are navigating postpartum, burnout, or identity shifts

•Have been told they’re “doing great” but don’t feel like themselves

•Are craving reconnection, clarity, and emotional steadiness

•Want to feel seen and understood in this season of life

Why are so many women still exhausted—even when they’re eating well, sleeping more, and being told their labs look “normal”?

In this episode of It’s Hertime, Cody Sanders sits down with Dr. Evan Hirsch, also known as the EnergyMD, to unpack the real root causes behind chronic fatigue, long COVID, and persistent low energy in women. Drawing from both his personal health journey and clinical work, Dr. Hirsch explains why fatigue is rarely just about sleep or stress—and what actually needs to happen for true energy recovery.

Together, Cody and Dr. Hirsch explore the systems-based drivers of fatigue, the role of nervous system dysregulation, and why many women feel worse when they try to “push through.” If you or someone you love feels tired all the time, wired but exhausted, or stuck in burnout despite doing all the right things, this conversation will bring clarity and hope.

⸻

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

•The difference between being tired and having true chronic fatigue

•Why standard lab work often misses the root causes of low energy

•How long COVID and ME/CFS overlap with hormone and nervous system dysfunction

•The EnergyMD Method and the “Toxic Five” contributors to fatigue

•Why pushing harder with exercise can sometimes backfire

•How nervous system regulation impacts energy, recovery, and resilience

•The first steps women can take to start rebuilding real, sustainable energy

⸻

What if the problem isn’t that your body is broken… but that it’s overloaded?

In this episode of It’s Hertime, women’s health practitioner and functional nutritionist Cody Sanders sits down with Miguel Bautista to explore a powerful reframe around chronic fatigue, burnout, Long COVID, and “mystery” symptoms.

Miguel shares how he went from thriving personal trainer to completely bedridden and hospitalized — only to be told his labs were “normal.” What ultimately shifted his recovery wasn’t another protocol or supplement. It was understanding how nervous system overload was driving his symptoms.

This conversation is especially relevant for high-functioning women who:

•Feel exhausted despite normal lab work

•Have been told “everything looks fine”

•Push harder when their bodies push back

•Feel like their system can’t handle stress the way it used to

In this episode, we discuss:

•What nervous system dysregulation actually means

•Why symptoms feel intensely physical

•Why over-efforting, biohacking, and pushing through often backfire

•The emotional side of recovery

•How to rebuild capacity safely and sustainably

For women navigating midlife, perimenopause, hormone shifts, and high responsibility loads, this conversation offers both validation and strategy. When the nervous system doesn’t feel safe, hormones, sleep, blood sugar, and energy regulation become significantly harder.

Healing isn’t about doing more. It’s about building capacity.

If you’ve ever thought, “I’m exhausted, overstimulated, and intimacy feels like one more thing on my to-do list,” this episode is for you.

In today’s conversation, we’re finally talking about libido — honestly, openly, and without shame. So many women quietly wonder why they don’t feel like themselves anymore, especially after babies, during perimenopause, or in menopause. This episode is here to remind you: you are not broken — your body is communicating.

Cody is joined by Dr. Diane Mueller, a board-certified sexologist, national speaker, best-selling author, and podcast host who has worked with over 33,000 couples. Dr. Diane brings both science and compassion to a topic that’s often ignored in women’s health conversations.

Together, they explore how hormones, chronic stress, nervous system overload, and life transitions impact desire — and why low libido is not a personal failure, but a biological response. This is a girlfriend-to-girlfriend conversation designed to bring clarity, validation, and hope.

In this episode, they discuss:

•Why libido is often left out of the hormone conversation

•What it really means to feel “touched-out”

•How stress and exhaustion biologically suppress desire

•Why low libido doesn’t mean you don’t love your partner

•How shame and guilt disconnect women from intimacy

•Practical first steps to begin reconnecting with your body and desire

If you’ve been wondering where you went, you’re not alone. With the right support, intimacy and connection can feel accessible again.

In this conversation, she and Cody break down how to create financial confidence without sacrificing joy, lifestyle, or peace of mind.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

•Why money stress quietly impacts hormones, energy, and mental health

•How to stop living paycheck to paycheck without feeling deprived

•What “living a life you can afford” really looks like in real life

•Simple credit card and saving strategies that actually work

•When renting may be smarter than buying

•How couples can communicate better about money

•Common financial mistakes women make — and how to avoid them

•How to start investing with confidence (even if you feel behind)

•What goal-based investing means and why it matters

•When it’s time to work with a financial advisor

Priya also shares how women can shift from fear and comparison around money to clarity, confidence, and trust — creating long-term stability for themselves and their families.
