Do you get enough sleep? Did you know that women are more affected by poor sleep than men? Sleep deprivation is tragically common, one in three people living in the U.S. do not get enough sleep on a regular basis. And, many women with hormone imbalances face extra obstacles when it comes to healthy sleep. Getting enough high-quality sleep helps women balance their hormones, erase period problems, and look and feel their best. Sleep matters. Today, Cody talks about why good sleep matters for your menstrual cycle, and for healthy and happy perimenopause and menopause, and how you can get more of it. She goes into some common hormone-related causes of insomnia and shares key strategies to combat these causes and finally put insomnia to bed for good!

Is friendship the medicine you are missing? We talk so much about supplements, food, exercise, and stress relieving strategies, but solid friendships are just as vital to our overall health, happiness and survival. As women, it's in our DNA that we are compelled to connect. We instinctually know that to survive, we need to nurture supportive relationships. In fact, it is shown that women are wired to seek connection when they are under stress, because when women feel secure in relationships and feel loved, they are able to release more of the calming and happy hormone, oxytocin. Releasing more "happy hormones" in the body, through attention, affection, and interaction, is healing for our adrenal glands and leads to optimal hormonal health and balance.

The best kind of friends to seek are the ones that influence you to have healthy thoughts, to eat nutritiously, to move often, and to live a healthy lifestyle. Today Jess and Cody share ways that you can make friends that will support your highest self and nourish and strengthen you. Friends are the family that we choose, so choose wisely. Your health and longevity is directly affected by who you surround yourself with.

We are under stress, and it is having an affect on us. Do you feel it? Are you experiencing symptoms like; irritability, anxiety, depression, headaches and insomnia? These symptoms are all associated with chronic stress. And, what is one main thing that happens when we are under chronic stress? Our endocrine system stops functioning optimally, and we can become hormonally imbalanced. Our adrenal glands start pumping stress hormones adrenaline and cortisol at higher rates, our digestion is compromised, leading to the inability to absorb vital nutrients, and our immune system weakens, making us susceptible to viruses and other illnesses.

Today, Jess, Cody and special guest Cassandra Lau are sharing their best information, and actionable tips for successfully combatting chronic stress.. Cassandra Lau is the host of The Beautifully Intentional Podcast, and is sharing 4 tips that will inspire us to start being intentional with our self-care, and how doing so will send "safety signals" to our brain to help reduce stress physically, mentally and emotionally. These tips are amazing, and not just the same tips we keep hearing over and over again. Managing our stress is the BEST way and first strategy we should use to stay safe, remain healthy and to continue feeling happy during this time.

Today on It's Hertime, we get to talk about something fun! And, it's about something every girl could benefit from having a little more of... confidence! How do we gain more confidence ourselves, and how can we raise confident girls? In this episode, Jess and Cody, and special guest, Morgan Thomas, aka "Miss Morgan", discuss what confidence looks and feels like, and what actionable steps we all can take to develop more confidence in ourselves. We are our little girl's mirrors, so it's important for each of us to learn how to feel comfortable in our own skin, so that they can feel confident in theirs. Confidence doesn't come from our physical traits, but more from the inner strength we build by overriding our self-doubts and by being courageous enough to overcome a fear of failure.

Our bodies and brains are different during each phase of our cycle, so our food, exercise and self-care should be different each week, too, If we want to look and feel our best all month long. If you've been living in a "same way everyday" kind of way, you're not alone. In today's episode Cody and Jess talk about how the widespread cultural belief that we are suppose to repeat the same rituals, every 24-hours - have the same morning routine, or exercise the same way day-in and day-out - is actually leading us girls down the wrong path and causing inflammation and promoting fat-storage, which can cause so much shame and frustration, when it feels like "we are doing everything right. This insistence on doing the the same thing day-in and day-out does cater to a male's hormonal biological clock, but not ours. Men follow the same predictable pattern everyday: the 24-hour circadian rhythm. We girls have a unique biochemistry. We actually have two biological clocks, the circadian rhythm and the infradian rhythm. The infradian rhythm is linked to our menstrual cycle and it powerfully affects our brain, metabolism, microbiome, immune system, stress-response system and our reproductive system. As women we benefit when we understand this unique internal clock and we eat, exercise and work in ways that support our infradian rhythm, as opposed to following diet, fitness, and work trends that disrupt it. Tune in, you'll want to hear about what we can do to live in sync with our internal clocks to look and feel our best all month long!
