Why are so many women still exhausted—even when they’re eating well, sleeping more, and being told their labs look “normal”?

In this episode of It’s Hertime, Cody Sanders sits down with Dr. Evan Hirsch, also known as the EnergyMD, to unpack the real root causes behind chronic fatigue, long COVID, and persistent low energy in women. Drawing from both his personal health journey and clinical work, Dr. Hirsch explains why fatigue is rarely just about sleep or stress—and what actually needs to happen for true energy recovery.

Together, Cody and Dr. Hirsch explore the systems-based drivers of fatigue, the role of nervous system dysregulation, and why many women feel worse when they try to “push through.” If you or someone you love feels tired all the time, wired but exhausted, or stuck in burnout despite doing all the right things, this conversation will bring clarity and hope.

•The difference between being tired and having true chronic fatigue

•Why standard lab work often misses the root causes of low energy

•How long COVID and ME/CFS overlap with hormone and nervous system dysfunction

•The EnergyMD Method and the “Toxic Five” contributors to fatigue

•Why pushing harder with exercise can sometimes backfire

•How nervous system regulation impacts energy, recovery, and resilience

•The first steps women can take to start rebuilding real, sustainable energy

What if the problem isn’t that your body is broken… but that it’s overloaded?

In this episode of It’s Hertime, women’s health practitioner and functional nutritionist Cody Sanders sits down with Miguel Bautista to explore a powerful reframe around chronic fatigue, burnout, Long COVID, and “mystery” symptoms.

Miguel shares how he went from thriving personal trainer to completely bedridden and hospitalized — only to be told his labs were “normal.” What ultimately shifted his recovery wasn’t another protocol or supplement. It was understanding how nervous system overload was driving his symptoms.

This conversation is especially relevant for high-functioning women who:

•Feel exhausted despite normal lab work

•Have been told “everything looks fine”

•Push harder when their bodies push back

•Feel like their system can’t handle stress the way it used to

In this episode, we discuss:

•What nervous system dysregulation actually means

•Why symptoms feel intensely physical

•Why over-efforting, biohacking, and pushing through often backfire

•The emotional side of recovery

•How to rebuild capacity safely and sustainably

For women navigating midlife, perimenopause, hormone shifts, and high responsibility loads, this conversation offers both validation and strategy. When the nervous system doesn’t feel safe, hormones, sleep, blood sugar, and energy regulation become significantly harder.

Healing isn’t about doing more. It’s about building capacity.

If you’ve ever thought, “I’m exhausted, overstimulated, and intimacy feels like one more thing on my to-do list,” this episode is for you.

In today’s conversation, we’re finally talking about libido — honestly, openly, and without shame. So many women quietly wonder why they don’t feel like themselves anymore, especially after babies, during perimenopause, or in menopause. This episode is here to remind you: you are not broken — your body is communicating.

Cody is joined by Dr. Diane Mueller, a board-certified sexologist, national speaker, best-selling author, and podcast host who has worked with over 33,000 couples. Dr. Diane brings both science and compassion to a topic that’s often ignored in women’s health conversations.

Together, they explore how hormones, chronic stress, nervous system overload, and life transitions impact desire — and why low libido is not a personal failure, but a biological response. This is a girlfriend-to-girlfriend conversation designed to bring clarity, validation, and hope.

In this episode, they discuss:

•Why libido is often left out of the hormone conversation

•What it really means to feel “touched-out”

•How stress and exhaustion biologically suppress desire

•Why low libido doesn’t mean you don’t love your partner

•How shame and guilt disconnect women from intimacy

•Practical first steps to begin reconnecting with your body and desire

If you’ve been wondering where you went, you’re not alone. With the right support, intimacy and connection can feel accessible again.
