Endometriosis, a condition where tissue that behaves like the lining of the womb is found outside the uterus, and causes severe and debilitating period pain. It affects more than 6.5 million women in the US, yet there is still so much confusion around its causes, symptoms and treatments.

On today's episode, Cody invites Ana Gonzalez Herrera, who is the founder of Hormone University. After 5 surgeries and endless tears of pain and boxes of Ibuprofen with stage IV endometriosis, Ana made it her mission to be her own best health advocate. She believes that the more you know, the more you can do to avoid medical (or other) interventions which might not be right for you, and the more you can take control of your health.

This is an important episode, because adding to the agony of endo, many women don’t end up getting diagnosed until later in life, if at all, because so many physicians simply pass off their symptoms as period pain. This lack of acknowledgement leaves the women living with chronic endo pain feeling helpless and unheard.

Share this episode with the girls in your life. Chances are you know a woman suffering with endometriosis, we are 1 in 10, so the chances are high.

You may have noticed there are times in your cycle where your motivation and physical stamina are lacking when it comes to your fitness routine. No matter how motivating your trainer is, while telling you to push through one more rep or the Peloton instructor is saying “push”… you may just find that there are times where you just aren’t feeling that motivation. This isn’t because you’re lazy. Instead, the secret lies in your unique female monthly cycle and what day of the month it is for you. On today’s episode, Cody discusses the science of how to exercise with your cycle, to achieve your fitness and wellness goals. 

Cody explains how exercising with your cycle doesn’t have to be a complicated endeavor. We intuitively already have the cues from our body—it’s a matter of respecting it’s signals and not unfairly trying to hold yourself to the same standards as our male, non-cyclical counterparts. Implementing the strategies, shared in today's episode, we can support our hormones so that they work with us and not against us to take our fitness goals to the next level. It’s seriously a game-changer when we know how to tap into our female super-powers all month long!

Life is meant to be joyous! We are pleasure-seeking creatures by nature. Joy makes us younger, smarter, more intuitive, and healthier . . . with better hormonal balance and immune-system functioning. Joy even positively affects our metabolism.

On today's episode Cody invites Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Certified Sex Therapist and Sexual Relationship Coach, Marissa Nelson. They talk all about this and how if we deliberately pursue pleasure we can improve more than just our relationships, it can help us heal our lives. 

Marissa Nelson has helped hundreds of couples rediscover lasting connection while overcoming all of life’s challenges together. She is one of less than ten African-American therapists nationwide to hold these professional designations. Her extensive clinical knowledge of couples issues yet accessible and contemporary style makes couples and sex therapy conversational, warm and fun.

She has also been frequently featured in over 100 national and international media publications including the New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, CBC, CNN Health, Glamour, Latina and Black Enterprise.

In 2021, Marissa launched IntimacyIVF, a tailored online program and therapy practice for couples experiencing infertility to learn the specific psycho-emotional skills to break free from isolation, shame and fear, and enjoy deep connection on their path to parenthood. 

Marissa graduated with a Master's in Marriage & Family Therapy from Drexel University where she received the Department of Family Therapy Service Award. Marissa also pursued post-graduate studies, receiving a Certificate in Sexual Health & Sex Therapy from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. In summer 2021, she will pursue a Masters in Education Entrepreneurship at the University of Pennsylvania.

On today's episode, she shares what the 10 most common—and surprising—reasons why our sex drive may have taken a nosedive, and she of course also helps us know how to get our groove back.

Our immune system defends our body against illness and disease. It’s a complex system that includes the skin cells, blood, bone marrow, tissues, and organs that — when working the way they should — protect our body against potentially harmful pathogens (things like bacteria and viruses), and limit damage that happens from noninfectious agents (like sunburn or cancer).

To best protect our body from harm, every component of our immune system needs to perform exactly according to plan. The best way we can ensure this happens is to practice the "good-for-us' behaviors our immune system runs on every day. 

In this episode Cody helps us understand out immune system better and share seven ways to keep our immune system healthy.
