Unexplained infertility occurs in about 15-20% percent of couples who seek fertility treatment. It is a hard diagnosis for many patients to swallow. It can be so disheartening to feel like there is no answer for you.

On today's episode, Cody visits with Sara Jensen,  CEO and co-founder of Hugh and Grace a hormone-safe self-care products company. Sara and her husband experienced a 14 year struggle with unexplained infertility. they share that they learned a shocking fact: Everyday, we are unknowingly exposed to harmful chemicals that are effecting our hormone health and therefore fertility. Frustrated by the lack of transparency and the amount of confusion there is around “clean” products, they went to work and created high-performing, simple solutions that people can trust.

Sara also shares her incredible story of hope. Two incredible family members volunteered to be surrogates for she and her husband. They now have their very own miracles: Hugh and Grace. Inspired by those who helped them, they set out to create a solution. Realizing that we all need more than just products to create a solution, we’re also need a community to help share knowledge so people everywhere can make healthier life choices.

You can connect with Sara more here and here.

Pregnancy is one of the most amazing things we can experience as women. To feel another human being developing inside you is unreal and awesome, and it creates a very special bond between Mama and Baby.

But even the most amazing things in life aren't perfect, and there are some things about pregnancy that are very unpleasant. Weird stuff can happen to you when you’re pregnant, right girls? Of course, the end result is so worth the crazy changes and discomfort, but it's still good to know what to expect.

Not saying this should be expected while you’re expecting, but morning sickness is a very common symptom of pregnancy. Morning sickness is one of the most not-so-pleasant aspects of pregnancy.

 On today's episode Cody talks about what we should know about what causes morning sickness and what we can do to reduce your nausea and feel amazing during  your pregnancy.

You probably know that breast cancer is a major killer of women worldwide. You may even know that, every year, more than 245,000 women are diagnosed with the disease in the United States alone. And one in every eight women will develop breast cancer at some point during their lives. As your doctor (hopefully) tells you at checkups, it's important to perform monthly self-checks to screen yourself for this potentially lethal disease—but, do you know what to look for? The fact is, many women don’t.

On today's episode Cody and Corrine Beaumont, CEO and founder of the organization "Know Your Lemons",  help us learn about what breast cancer can look like (because lumps aren’t the only indicator that something’s wrong). Tune in to learn all about the 12 signs of breast cancer we need to be looking for. Also about how to perform self breast-exams and when to do our self-exams during our monthly cycle.

Early detection is the goal. According to the World Health Organization, a shocking one-third of deaths from breast cancer could be decreased if detected and treated early. This means nearly 400,000 lives could be saved every year. This is an episode you won't want to miss and you'll definitely want to share with all of the girls in your life.

About our guest:
When Corrine Beaumont lost her grandmothers to breast cancer, she wanted to know what she should be doing for her breast health, but wasn’t able to find information that simply answered the basic questions. As a designer, she decided to do something about the lack of engaging information available. So she moved to London, got a PhD in patient communication and tested and refined the best ways to educate breast health information for a diverse audience. Later on when her close friend died from the disease, she left her job as a business professor, and started the charity with her own savings. In 2017, Corinne founded the Know Your Lemons Foundation, a global charity with a groundbreaking campaign teaching women all over the world the signs and symptoms of breast cancer in a unique and visual way.

Everyone has bad days, maybe even a string of bad days. Major depression is different. It’s like all color goes out of the rainbow. All oxygen goes out of the air. Everything is just… harder.

Mental health disorders are complex. So is the brain. And so are the foods we eat, and the ways our bodies interact with those foods. We’re still new to this game of figuring out exactly how the brain works, and exactly how nutrients may improve brain health. But, there are some very promising possibilities. Our brain is greedy. It needs a lot of energy to work properly and to create neurotransmitters - chemicals that send signals through the nervous system. Without enough energy or the right nutrients, our brain won’t get what it needs. In fact, one study suggests that eating a lot of nutrient-sparse processed foods could up our chances of becoming depressed by as much as 60 percent. 

On today's episode, Cody visits with Karalynne Call, of Just Ingredients. Karalynne shares how she was able to fight depression naturally with nutrition.  She is a mom of six with a passion for better health and wellness within the home. She began her health journey nearly 15 years ago as she battled severe depression, and she has helped thousands of other people to begin their own health journey. She believes that nature provides the necessary nutrition in order for people to live healthy, happy lives full of energy. Her goal is to inspire others to make a change in their eating habits and daily product use, one ingredient at a time. Her personal story is inspiring and she's a wealth of knowledge.

Did you know that Americans are having less sex now than they did a decade ago? Did you also know that 60% of women are sexually unsatisfied? Also, studies show that fewer women are having orgasms than any other demographic. With these stats, is it any wonder that Herlove was Mixhers most requested product?

Having a satisfying sex life is a very important part of having a healthy and balanced life, but for too many women, it's an area of their life that they feel like they need extra support in. Talking about it helps! So let's talk!

On today's episode, Cody and Jess share all about how important it is as women to feel empowered when it comes to our sex life. They talk about how a missing sex drive can be a sign of hormonal imbalance and should be taken seriously. They also share what to do about it.

Tune in to learn about how to create sexual wellness rituals and how to rev up your libido naturally.

“What is the best diet for PCOS?” Is Paleo the best diet for PCOS? How about Low Carb? Keto? Vegan? Weight Watchers? Raw?”

 PCOS is not an issue that can’t be solved by medication. Pharmaceuticals like metformin and the Pill can’t address root causes, but what you eat (and don’t eat) can. Eating the right types of food at the right times each month helps rebalance your reproductive hormones, stabilize insulin and blood sugar, and support your unique female biochemistry during each phase of your monthly menstrual cycle.

On today's episode, Cody shares everything we need to know about how we can use food to manage PCOS successfully. She answers the questions so many of us have about what foods  we should avoid and which foods we should focus on getting plenty of. What is the perfect diet for PCOS? Tune in and find out!

We all know how annoying it can be when our friends or family members accuse us of being moody around our periods. But what if there's the teensiest bit of truth to their words? Or maybe even a ton of truth?

As much as we may not want to admit it, period mood swings are a real pms symptom. That's why when we're approaching "Red Tide Week," we tend to become a little more on-edge than usual. Things that wouldn't normally be a big deal might suddenly set us off (often to our own surprise as well as the surprise of every other person in the vicinity).

If you're tired of feeling like your premenstrual mood swings are completely out of your control, you'll be happy to know there may be some things you can do to minimize them. Cody will share with us in this episode things we need to understand about why they're happening in the first place. Contrary to what your brother used to tell you, your monthly mood swings are probably not an indication of severe mental disorders; more likely, they're just a premenstrual symptom. They can, however, impact your quality of life and your relationships.

Sotune in and take a deep dive into what's causing your Mr. Hyde episodes and how you can take better control of your emotional symptoms each month.

Have you ever gone to a self-defense class? Usually it's because we want to learn how to fight, in case we are ever in a situation where we are being attacked. We want to feel like we can take our attackers down and get away, if needed!

The options for fight training are plentiful: Thai boxing, Brazilian jiujitsu, and mixed martial arts, boxing, karate, and tae kwon do. These types of trainings are great, but it takes years to learn how to knock a gun from a mugger’s hand or fight off multiple assailants. Traditional self-defense tends to fall into one of two categories. The first is learning how to fight. The second is learning a list of rules that women are told to follow, most of which start with “never”: Never go out alone at night. Never drink at parties. Never wear revealing clothing. Never talk to strangers.

But what if the way we traditionally think of self-defense is wrong?

on todays episode, Cody visits with Robyn Warner. Robyn is known on her instagram as @aflyonmywall. She's fun, she's cute, and she's relatable with her down-to-earth friendly personality. But Robyn is also an expert on self defense and is passionate about helping women to be prepared, not scared.

Robyn is a survivor of a brutal sexual assault, she shares her story and the strategies that helped her to survive. This is an episode that needs to be listened to by all women. Share this episode with all the girls in your life, because this information can literally save lives.

Robyn offers a self-defense safety course called S.A.F.E. Its a course that can be taken online or in person. Robyn has offered you, our It's Hertime listeners, a 40% discount on her trainings. just use the code MIXHERS. Thanks Robyn!

Are you losing hair? Dealing with acne? Experiencing Anxiety? Gaining weight? Never in the mood for sex? There’s a good chance that the culprit behind these seemingly unrelated physical maladies is nothing more than good, old-fashioned stress. While stress is a normal part of everyday life, it can sometimes trigger a range of unpleasant symptoms that we’re quick to attribute to other ailments.  

The brain-body relationship is complicated, and it can be a mystery why people manifest stress in different ways – headaches for you, but nausea for your neighbor. On today's episode Cody and guest Sarah Burden talk all about the sneaky ways stress shows up and what we can do about it.
