Live from Cody's Happily Hormonal Retreat at Movara Fitness Resort, she sits down with the incredible Michelle Dewald, Nurse Practitioner and founder of Magnolia Aesthetics in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Michelle isn’t just a clinician—she’s a truth-teller, myth-buster, and hormone health champion for women in midlife.

She believes in the power of movement, mindset, and nutrition (yes, she includes Mixhers in every patient protocol!)—and this episode is packed with the kind of wisdom most women only wish they’d heard years ago.

In This Episode, We Cover:

• What to look for in a perimenopause-literate practitioner

Are your hormones working against you—or are you just working with them in the wrong order?

In this powerful episode of the It's Hertime podcast, I am joined by Becca Chilczenkowski—a weight loss resistance expert and the founder of FitMom™, a top functional health practice helping women uncover the real root causes of their hormone struggles. Becca is also the co-host of The Health Revival Show, a Top 100 podcast in alternative health.

We cover:

•The biggest mistakes women make when trying to balance hormones

•Why thyroid labs often look “normal” but you still feel exhausted, puffy, and stuck

•The truth about adrenal fatigue—is it real or a myth?

•Why perimenopause feels like your body is betraying you—and what to do instead

•How HRT and birth control can help or harm—depending on timing and strategy

•The GLP-1 drug debate: Are Ozempic & Wegovy miracle solutions or metabolic setbacks?

Do you feel constantly overwhelmed, anxious, or exhausted—no matter how healthy you try to be? Your nervous system could be the missing piece in your hormone and metabolism puzzle.

In this episode of It’s Hertime, I sit down with Leanna Hunt to uncover the hidden ways stress sabotages your hormones, metabolism, and overall well-being—and what you can do to restore balance.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

What the Window of Tolerance is and how it impacts your nervous system
How chronic stress leads to hormone imbalances, weight gain, and burnout
The connection between nervous system dysregulation and symptoms like cravings, anxiety, and fatigue
How to shift out of “fight-or-flight” mode and activate your body’s natural healing state
Practical nutrition, supplement, and lifestyle strategies to build stress resilience

Key Takeaways:

Your nervous system controls your hormones. Chronic stress isn’t just mental—it triggers real hormonal imbalances that affect weight, energy, and mood.

Small, daily shifts create big hormonal changes. Breathwork, nutrition, movement, and targeted supplements can help restore balance.

About My Guest: Leanna is a trauma-informed Associate Clinical Mental Health Counselor who works with all ages of clients as well as couples at Renew Relationship Counseling in Springville. She is also a certified performance coach and has worked with clients all over the US. She has a vast understanding of the nervous system and she takes a somatic approach to mental wellness in her therapy. Leanna is trained in several body-based techniques and modalities including Evidence-Based EFT tapping, Brainspotting, Advanced Brainspotting for children and teens, Somatic Breathwork, EMDR and play therapy techniques. She loves to educate others on the window of tolerance and coping skills that support nervous system regulation and is passionate about helping families change patterns and break cycles using these tools.
