In this eye-opening episode of It’s Hertime, Cody sits down with Functional Hormone Practitioner Elizabeth Katzman to uncover a silent struggle many women face after stopping hormonal birth control — what Elizabeth calls “The Pill Hangover.”

If you’ve ever stopped the pill expecting your body to bounce right back, only to face anxiety, weight gain, cycle changes, gut issues, or just a sense that something’s off, this conversation will help you understand why — and how to heal.

Elizabeth shares how hormonal birth control affects your body’s natural rhythm, nutrient stores, gut health, and mood regulation. You’ll learn what’s really happening beneath the surface, why doctors often miss it, and how to gently restore hormonal balance through nourishment, not restriction.

Together, Cody and Elizabeth explore:

What “The Pill Hangover” really means — and why it’s so common

How birth control impacts your hormones, gut, mood, and metabolism

Which nutrients are most depleted and how to replenish them

Why post-pill anxiety and irregular cycles are biological, not imagined

 Root-cause strategies to restore balance and feel like yourself again

This episode is validating, hopeful, and full of practical takeaways for every woman — whether you’re thinking of stopping birth control, already have, or are simply ready to understand your body better.

⸻

Key Topics Covered

•The science behind post-pill hormone suppression

•Nutrient deficiencies caused by birth control

•The gut–mood–metabolism connection

•Common misdiagnoses and how to get real answers

•Restoring hormonal balance naturally

In today’s episode, we’re exploring a sacred and often-overlooked chapter of womanhood—the Pre-Conception Era. Whether motherhood is part of your story or not, this phase represents the powerful years where your body, hormones, and energy are preparing for what’s next.

Cody sits down with Anna Finck, a Wellness Architect and Lifestyle Designer who blends science and spirituality through her Embodied Wellness philosophy. Together, they unpack what it means to become an embodied woman—one who listens to her body, honors her rhythms, and reconnects to her own inner wisdom.

They discuss how to support your hormones, digestion, and vitality during the years before conception (or major life transformation), and why symptoms like fatigue, irregular cycles, or mood changes are messages—not malfunctions.

This conversation feels like a warm hug mixed with a biology class and a soul session all in one.

⸻

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

•What the Pre-Conception Era really is—and why it’s one of the most transformative times in a woman’s life

•How to become an Embodied Woman by reconnecting to your body’s intelligence

•Why modern wellness needs both science and spirituality

•Daily practices and rituals that support your hormones and energy naturally

•How to decode your body’s signals instead of silencing them

•The link between embodiment, fertility, and personal evolution

⸻

Favorite Moments

•“We’ve been taught to override our bodies, but embodiment invites us to listen instead.”

•“Symptoms aren’t random—they’re invitations to deeper awareness.”

•“Pre-conception isn’t just about preparing for motherhood—it’s about preparing for your next evolution as a woman.”

What if your “mystery symptoms” weren’t random — but actually connected?

In today’s episode, Cody sits down with Dr. Diana Driscoll, an optometrist, researcher, inventor, and patient advocate who turned her own medical mystery into groundbreaking discoveries that are changing lives.

After years of struggling with unexplained dizziness, gut issues, fatigue, and “just anxiety” diagnoses, Dr. Driscoll uncovered key links between the vagus nerve, neurotransmitters, and the body’s stress response — and how they drive conditions like POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) and other “invisible illnesses.”

Together, Cody and Dr. Driscoll unpack:

•What POTS actually is (in real-world language).

•Why so many women are misdiagnosed or dismissed.

•The misunderstood role of the vagus nerve—and why “stimulating it” might not be the fix you think it is.

•How gut health, neurotransmitters, and the autonomic nervous system all connect.

•Why SIBO treatment often fails — and what her research discovered about healing it naturally.

•The powerful comeback story of her son, who went from years out of school to living a full, healthy life again.

•Practical steps for self-advocacy, testing, and finding real answers.

If you’ve ever felt dismissed, dizzy, or defeated by your symptoms, this conversation will bring clarity and hope. You’ll walk away with a new understanding of your body—and a reminder that you’re not broken, you’re just waiting to be understood.

Ladies, let’s be real—we’ve all had those moments standing in front of the mirror thinking, “If I could just fix this one thing, then I’d feel beautiful.” But here’s the truth: no serum, facial, or filler will ever create a lasting glow if the voice in your head is full of self-criticism.

In today’s empowering conversation, I’m joined by Sandra Lena Silverman—author of From BS to Botox: A Rebel’s Guide to Self-Love and Eternal Youth and the unapologetic, bold voice behind an Instagram community of over 250k women. Sandra is a life coach, speaker, and truth-teller who’s flipping the beauty script—reminding us that self-love and mindset matter just as much (if not more) than skincare and beauty products.

Together, we’re exploring:

✨ Why so many women chase products but skip the mindset work

✨ How healing past trauma can transform how you see yourself in the mirror

✨ The difference between empowering beauty rituals vs. covering up pain

✨ Sandra’s own “rebel self-care routine” that blends Botox and self-love

✨ Practical mindset practices to stop self-criticism and start glowing from within

This episode will make you laugh, nod along, and maybe even rethink the way you look at your reflection. Sandra’s honesty is refreshing, and her message is clear: you don’t have to choose between outer beauty and inner healing—you deserve both.

📚 Grab Sandra’s book From BS to Botox and connect with her on Instagram @sandralenasilverman for daily doses of truth, humor, and empowerment.

💡 If you’ve ever wondered how to feel radiant without chasing perfection, this conversation is your reminder: true transformation starts with how you speak to yourself.

Motherhood is beautiful, but let’s be honest—it can also feel relentless. Between endless to-dos, stress, and hormonal shifts, it’s easy for moms to put themselves last. But what if the key to thriving in motherhood is learning to tend to yourself first?

In this inspiring conversation, Cody sits down with Holly Swenson—award-winning author, wellness blogger, and mom of four—to talk about why self-care is anything but selfish. Holly shares her story of raising her four “gurus,” practical tools for bringing gentility and balance into everyday parenting, and how caring for your own wellness impacts your hormones, relationships, and family life.

You’ll learn:

 Why “tending to yourself” is the foundation for thriving, not just surviving

How stress disrupts hormones—and what you can do about it

Practical ways to balance parenting with grace and gentility

The power of modeling wellness for your kids (without aiming for perfection)

How small, consistent steps toward self-care ripple into every area of your life

This episode is a beautiful reminder that when moms care for themselves, everyone benefits.

⸻

 Key Takeaways

•Your hormones respond directly to how you care for yourself.

•Stress management is not optional—it’s a root-cause solution for hormonal harmony.

•Thriving in motherhood means shifting from perfectionism to gentility.

•Modeling wellness is more powerful than preaching it.
