If your workouts are leaving you exhausted instead of energized, this episode is for you.

In today’s episode of It’s Hertime, Cody sits down with Lauren Kleban, celebrity trainer and founder of LEKFIT, to unpack why traditional fitness culture often works against women’s hormones — especially in perimenopause, menopause, and high-stress seasons of life.

Lauren shares how overtraining, excessive HIIT, and chronic cardio can elevate cortisol, suppress thyroid function, disrupt blood sugar, and stall results — even when women are “doing everything right.”

Together, Cody and Lauren explore:

•Why women’s bodies need rhythm, recovery, and variety

•How lymphatic flow is a missing piece in hormone balance

•Why joyful, music-driven movement is actually one of the most powerful healing tools for women

•How to build a hormone-friendly weekly workout routine without burnout

This conversation is a permission slip to stop punishing your body — and start partnering with it.

LEKFIT isn’t about shrinking — it’s about feeling strong, sexy, confident, and at home in your body.

Lauren shares what she hopes women take away from her classes beyond physical results: self-trust, embodiment, and joy.

As women, we’ve been told that feeling exhausted, bloated, anxious, inflamed, or disconnected from our bodies is just part of life — or worse, something we need to hustle harder to fix.

More workouts.

More food restriction.

More rules.

More willpower.

But what if being a woman wasn’t supposed to feel like a full-time job?

In today’s episode, I’m having a heart-to-heart conversation with you — the kind you’d have with a close friend — about why so many women feel overwhelmed by their health, and how we can step into the new year with clarity, confidence, and calm instead of pressure and perfection.

This episode is about simplifying hormonal health, reconnecting to your body, and choosing alignment over burnout.

In this episode, we talk about:

•Why women feel overloaded by health advice — and why it’s not your fault

•How symptoms are messages, not failures

•The biggest mistake women make when trying to “fix” their hormones

•Why doing less (but doing it intentionally) often leads to better results

•How stress, under-fueling, and over-training quietly sabotage hormone balance

•What hormone-aligned living actually looks like in real life

The 4 Best Gifts You Can Give Your Hormones This Year:

1.Consistency over perfection — why small daily habits matter more than extremes

2.Nourishment, not restriction — eating to support blood sugar, metabolism, and hormones

3.Movement that supports your cycle and life stage — not punishes your body

4.Planned rest, joy, and creativity — because your nervous system needs it to heal

I also share why I’m being incredibly intentional this year about scheduling rest, creativity, and connection first — before life fills the calendar for me — and how you can do the same without guilt.

A Special Invitation

If you’re craving space to slow down, learn how your hormones actually work, and reconnect with yourself in a supportive, beautiful environment, I’d love to personally invite you to the Mixhers Retreat.

This retreat is designed for women navigating perimenopause, menopause, or midlife hormone shifts — especially those who feel stuck, frustrated, or unseen. We’ll focus on education, nourishment, movement, rest, and community — not restriction or overwhelm.

You don’t need more rules.

You need understanding, support, and space to reset.

Most women think bone loss is something that happens later — after menopause, after aging, after symptoms appear.

The truth? Bone loss can begin quietly in our 30s, long before we feel anything is wrong.

In this episode of It’s Hertime, Cody Sanders sits down with Dr. Simmi Chopra, a molecular biologist turned Ayurvedic practitioner, to uncover what women are rarely told about bone health — and why protecting your bones is a lifelong, whole-body conversation, not just a calcium checklist.

Dr. Chopra explains how hormones, digestion, stress, inflammation, and lifestyle choices all influence bone density, and how a holistic approach can help women support — and even rebuild — bone strength naturally.

If you’re in your 30s, 40s, or 50s and want to stay strong, mobile, and resilient for decades to come, this episode is for you.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

•Why bone loss can start earlier than most women realize

•How estrogen, progesterone, and stress hormones affect bone density

•Early warning signs and risk factors many women overlook

•Why calcium alone isn’t enough — and what supports true absorption

•The Ayurvedic concept of Asthi Dhatu (bone tissue) and why it matters

•How gut health and digestion influence bone strength

•The role of stress, inflammation, and detox in bone loss

•How movement and weight-bearing exercise support healthy bones

•One simple step you can take today to protect your bone health

About Dr. Simmi Chopra

Dr. Simmi Chopra is the founder of SIDH Ayur and blends advanced training in molecular biology with Ayurvedic medicine to help women heal chronic conditions through personalized nutrition, lifestyle support, and Panchkarma therapies.
