#254: Hormones Reframed with Dr. Heather Rhodes


Listen Later

Hormones feel too complicated to understand and I don’t have the confidence to know where to begin when I’m feeling off. Heck, I can still be completely surprised by my cycle and I’m 40 years old! Whether you’re caught off guard like me or have a nagging feeling something isn’t quite right, you’re going to get something out of this chat. 

Dr. Heather Rhodes is a holistic pharmacist with a passion for women's health. She makes understanding your hormones simple and teaches you practical steps for maintaining hormone balance. Her natural approach to healing creates lasting results and symptom relief with ease for busy women. You’re going to love this cross-fit instructor, adoption advocate, ice cream addicted mother of two!

WHAT WE CHAT ABOUT:

  • hormone issues that are often swept under the rug
  • why Heather has chosen a middle ground between Western and holistic medicine
  • the difference between PMDD, PMS, and PCOS and some clues to look for
  • how stress affects our hormones
  • how cycle journaling can help find hormonal patterns
  • strategizing your workouts to keep stress levels down
  • signs of orthorexia and the guilt Heather felt during recovery
  • how she recovered by reframing, seeking counseling, and changing what she took in on social media
  • what she uses as a guide for her health now vs. her past indulging in diet culture
  • two things she can’t stop talking about
