    Stress can start to feel like just another part of being an adult: always tired, overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally drained. But what if those feelings are connected to more than what’s happening in your mind?

    In this episode, I’m joined by Miriam Putnam, a certified wellness coach and holistic mental health advocate. Miriam’s personal experience with her mother’s struggles in the mental health system led her to explore how the body, mind, and soul work together in wellness.

    We talk about chronic stress and its effects on sleep, hormones, digestion, immunity, and emotional resilience. Miriam also shares her perspective on the mind and brain, her Mind-Muscle Exercise, and everyday foundations of wellness—from movement and nutrition to sunlight, connection, purpose, and boundaries.

    If you’ve been feeling stretched thin or disconnected from yourself, this conversation offers thoughtful questions and small places to begin.

    In this episode, we discuss:

    • Miriam’s story and what led her to this work
    • Why so many people feel overwhelmed, even when life looks fine from the outside
    • How stress can show up physically and emotionally
    • The difference between the mind and the brain
    • Miriam’s Mind-Muscle Exercise
    • Everyday foundations that can support well-being
    • What holistic mental health means to Miriam
    • Protecting your energy and setting healthier boundaries
    • Small practices that can help you feel more balanced

    Fertility is about more than getting pregnant. It can offer important clues about what’s happening throughout the body—and understanding those clues may help women and couples ask better questions and find a more informed path forward.

    In this episode, I’m joined by Gabriela Rosa, founder of The Rosa Institute and a Harvard-trained fertility specialist. We talk about the often-overlooked factors that can affect reproductive health, why fertility care should include both partners, and how to think about IVF, recurrent miscarriage, and the emotional weight of infertility.

    Whether you’re trying to conceive, planning for the future, or simply want to understand your body better, this conversation is a reminder that asking why can be an important part of finding support and hope.

    In this episode, we discuss:

    • What fertility can reveal about whole-body health
    • Why fertility challenges may be increasing—and the factors that may play a role
    • Common fertility myths that can delay answers
    • Why both partners belong in the conversation
    • Root causes that may be overlooked, including thyroid, metabolic, inflammatory, nutrient, and other health factors
    • Where IVF may fit and when it may help to investigate further
    • Recurrent miscarriage and finding hope after loss
    • The emotional side of infertility and Gabriela’s research on expressive writing
    • Ways to support reproductive health for the future

  • Well-Fed but Undernourished: What Women Need in Every Season of Life with Jessica Khourie EP367

    Well-Fed but Undernourished: What Women Need in Every Season of Life with Jessica Khourie EP367
    Oct 20 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    Are you eating “healthy” and still feeling exhausted, hungry, inflamed, or out of sync with your body? Calories and nourishment aren’t the same thing—and women’s needs can change through pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause, and menopause.

    I’m joined by Jessica Khourie, founder and CEO of JOVA, to talk about the gap she saw in women’s nutrition and what led her to build a company around practical, whole-food nourishment. After years in the corporate world, Jessica set out to make nourishing choices feel simpler in real life.

    We talk about what undernourishment can look like, why nutrition needs to evolve through different seasons of life, and how stress, time, and decision fatigue can make healthy eating feel harder than it needs to be. We also get into smoothies: what makes one satisfying and balanced, common mistakes, and how convenience can fit into a nourishing routine.

    Along the way, we discuss protein, fiber, blood sugar, minerals, muscle, and the difference between feeling full and feeling nourished. And we talk about the bigger picture: nourishment also includes rest, joy, movement, connection, and caring for your nervous system.

    In this episode, we discuss:

    • Jessica’s journey from Procter & Gamble to founding JOVA
    • What it can mean to be well-fed but undernourished
    • Nutrients women commonly overlook
    • How nutrition needs shift through pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause, and menopause
    • Protein, fiber, blood sugar, minerals, and muscle health
    • Why healthy eating can feel difficult when life is busy
    • What to look for in a balanced smoothie
    • Nourishment beyond food: rest, stress, joy, and connection

  • Why Doctors Dismiss Women's Symptoms (And How to Advocate for Yourself) with Dr Vandana Arcot EP366

    Why Doctors Dismiss Women's Symptoms (And How to Advocate for Yourself) with Dr Vandana Arcot EP366
    Oct 13 2026
    Send us Fan MailHave you ever left a doctor's appointment feeling like your concerns weren't taken seriously? Maybe you were told your symptoms were normal, that your labs looked fine, or that you were simply stressed.For far too many women, this experience is all too familiar.Women are incredibly resilient. We push through exhaustion, manage the needs of everyone around us, and somehow keep going. But when did being strong become an expectation to suffer in silence?And why are women's symptoms still so often misunderstood, misdiagnosed, or dismissed?In this episode of It's Hertime, I'm joined by Dr. Vandana Arcot, a physician, global public health leader, and passionate advocate for women's health.With nearly two decades of experience working alongside organizations including UNICEF and the United Nations, Dr. Arcot has helped advance women's health across more than 13 countries. From refugee communities and rural villages to hospitals and international health organizations, she's witnessed something remarkable: regardless of where women live, they share a fundamental need to be heard, understood, and supported.Together, we're exploring the gaps in women's healthcare, why modern medicine hasn't always accounted for the unique needs of women's bodies, and what needs to change.We also talk about something I believe deserves much more attention: the hidden health cost of being the woman who carries everything.The emotional labor, the constant caregiving, the expectation to be resilient, and the physical toll of putting everyone else's needs before our own.Dr. Arcot also shares how her personal experience becoming a patient changed her perspective on medicine, compassion, and the importance of advocating for yourself.This conversation is about so much more than what's happening inside the doctor's office.It's about recognizing that your experiences matter, your symptoms deserve attention, and you have every right to ask questions, seek answers, and participate in decisions about your health.In This Episode, We Talk About:Why women's symptoms are still frequently dismissed or misunderstoodMedical gaslighting and the gender gap in healthcareWhat Dr. Arcot learned from caring for women across 13+ countriesHow women's physiology has historically been overlooked in medical researchWhy women can experience delays in diagnosis and treatmentThe hidden physical and emotional cost of carrying everyone else's needsWhen resilience becomes survival rather than strengthHow chronic stress and emotional labor can affect women's healthWhat Dr. Arcot learned when she became the patientHow to advocate for yourself when you feel unheard by your doctorWhen to seek a second opinionWhat needs to change to create better healthcare for women everywhereA Reminder for Every Woman ListeningBeing resilient doesn't mean you have to carry everything alone.Being strong doesn't mean ignoring your symptoms.And advocating for your health doesn't make you difficult.You deserve healthcare that sees you as a whole person, listens to your experiences, and respects your voice.Your body is always communicating with you. You deserve to be heard.Connect with Dr. Vandana ArcotWebsite — KOMSELJ:www.komselj.comInstagram — @drvandanaarcot:Follow Dr. Arcot on InstagramLinkedIn:Connect with Dr. ArcotSubstack:Read Dr. Arcot's writingConnect with Cody + It's HertimeFollow Cody on Instagram:@codyjeansandersHormone Health + Peptide Support:Explore Lyv Health with CodyShop Mixhers:Mixhers Hormone-Friendly WellnessUse code CODY for 15% off!Enjoying It's Hertime?Subscribe to the podcast, leave a review, and share this episode with a woman who needs the reminder that her voice matters.The more we talk openly about women's health, the more we empower one another to ask better questions, seek meaningful answers, and take ownership of our well-being.Because every woman deserves to be heard, understood, and supported.Did you learn something new today?

    Stop Over-Optimizing Your Health: Why Doing More Isn’t Making You Healthier with Marina Moiseyeva EP365
    Oct 6 2026
    Send us Fan MailWhat if the answer to feeling better isn’t another quick fix, biohack, wearable, test, or wellness protocol?For so many women, taking care of their health has practically become a full-time job. We’re tracking our sleep, watching our glucose, counting our protein, worrying about toxins, taking handfuls of supplements, trying the latest longevity trends—and somehow still wondering why we’re tired, overwhelmed, and not feeling like ourselves.In this episode of It’s Hertime, Cody is joined by Marina Moiseyeva, founder of Harmonious Life Family Health and author of Harmonious Healing Blueprint: Biohacking, Regeneration, and Health Resilience.Marina has spent more than 16 years working in health and wellness, with an approach that brings together functional, integrative, nutritional, regenerative, and anti-aging medicine. And her message is refreshingly simple: health isn’t about controlling every variable. It’s about building a body that can adapt, recover, and become more resilient.They talk about why women can still feel terrible even when their labs look “normal,” how seemingly healthy habits can become another source of stress, and why more testing, supplements, tracking, and optimization aren’t always the answer.They also get into the foundations that often matter more than the latest biohack—sleep, nourishment, movement, muscle, relationships, nervous-system regulation, hormones, and creating a lifestyle you can actually sustain.Marina and Cody discuss how to recognize when wellness has crossed the line from supportive to obsessive, why resilience may be a better goal than perfection, and how to simplify your approach without feeling like you’re giving up on your health.They also talk about healthy aging, hormones and longevity, environmental exposures, family health, regenerative medicine, and how to decide whether the newest peptide, supplement, therapy, or wellness trend is actually worth your time and money.Because the goal isn’t to live in a perfectly controlled bubble.The goal is to build a body that can handle real life.In this episode, they talk about:Why “normal” labs don’t always mean you’re functioning optimallyThe difference between addressing root causes and endlessly chasing symptomsHow wellness itself can become a source of stressWhy doing more isn’t always the answerResilience vs. optimization—and why the distinction mattersThe foundational habits that give you the biggest returnHow stress, digestion, blood sugar, hormones, sleep, and detoxification intersectBuilding healthier families without creating fear around food or toxinsMuscle, hormones, recovery, and healthy agingWhen advanced testing and therapies can be useful—and when they may be unnecessaryHow to evaluate supplements, peptides, biohacks, and longevity trendsHow to measure progress without obsessing over your wearableThe simple changes that help your body become more adaptable and resilientConnect with MarinaHarmonious Life Family HealthMarina on Instagram — @liveharmoniouslifeMarina on LinkedInHarmonious Healing Blueprint: Biohacking, Regeneration, and Health ResilienceConnect with Cody Follow Cody on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/codyjeansanders/Hormone + peptide support with Codyhttps://www.lyvcare.com/partners/codysandersShop Mixhers:www.mixhers.comDid you learn something new today?

Tim also shares his personal health journey and perspective on detoxification and environmental toxins.

    • What cellular energy means and why you may still feel tired

    • Everyday habits that support energy and the body’s natural detoxification
    • What “detox” means and common misconceptions
    • Simple ways to reduce exposure to environmental toxins

  • When Success Costs You Your Health: Teresa Reile on Cancer, Oxygen & Starting Over EP363

    When Success Costs You Your Health: Teresa Reile on Cancer, Oxygen & Starting Over EP363
    Sep 22 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    What happens when the life you worked so hard to build begins costing you your health?

    Teresa Reile was a successful entrepreneur accustomed to pushing forward and making things happen. But after facing cancer, major surgery, personal loss, and another frightening health scare, she was forced to reconsider what success really means—and whether achievement matters if your body can no longer sustain the life you’ve created.

    In this episode of It’s Hertime, Teresa shares how those experiences changed her relationship with her body, her purpose, and her own well-being. She also explains how her search for answers led her to study hypoxia—the lack of adequate oxygen within the tissues—and eventually build a new mission around oxygen, resilience, and vitality.

    Cody and Teresa also explore the deeper meaning behind the familiar instruction to “put your own oxygen mask on first.” Because caring for yourself isn’t selfish. It’s what creates the capacity to keep showing up for the people, purpose, and life you love.

    In this episode, you’ll hear:

    • How Teresa’s cancer journey transformed her definition of success
    • What happened when years of pushing through finally caught up with her
    • Why a health crisis can cause us to question everything we thought mattered
    • How Teresa became interested in hypoxia, cellular health, and oxygen
    • The difference between surviving a difficult season and rebuilding your capacity to thrive
    • Why women often wait until their bodies force them to slow down
    • What it really means to put your own oxygen mask on first
    • How hope, purpose, and perspective can support us through adversity
    • Why healing may require creating an entirely new way of living

    Whether you’re facing a health challenge, recovering from burnout, or realizing that your current pace is no longer sustainable, this conversation is an invitation to pause and ask:

    Is the life I’m building also supporting the person who has to live it?

    Sometimes healing doesn’t begin with doing more. It begins with listening to your body, restoring what has been depleted, and giving yourself permission to breathe again.

    Sep 15 2026

It’s about protecting your strength, energy, brain health, metabolic health, and ability to fully participate in the life you love.In this episode of It’s Hertime, Cody is joined by Dr. Jennifer Timmons, MD, a longevity physician and the Founder and Medical Director of Timmons Wellness. Dr. Timmons combines traditional primary care, functional medicine, precision testing, and longevity medicine to help her patients extend not only their lifespan, but their healthspan.Together, they explore what actually happens inside a woman’s body as she ages—and why menopause may be one of the most important longevity transitions of her life.Dr. Timmons explains how declining estrogen can influence cardiovascular health, bone density, muscle mass, metabolism, brain health, and immune resilience. They also discuss the biological systems that help determine how well we age, including mitochondrial function, metabolic flexibility, inflammation, hormonal communication, and muscle.This conversation goes beyond expensive biohacks and complicated wellness routines. It’s about understanding which foundational habits, health screenings, biomarkers, and personalized decisions can help your body continue to adapt, recover, repair, and support the life you want to live.In this episode, we cover:• The difference between lifespan and healthspan• What healthy aging actually looks like inside the body• Why menopause is an important longevity transition• How estrogen affects the brain, heart, bones, muscles, metabolism, and immune system• What separates a vibrant 75-year-old from someone struggling at 55• Why muscle is one of the most important organs for women’s longevity• How chronic stress affects hormones, repair, recovery, and metabolic health• The roles of mitochondrial health, inflammation, and metabolic flexibility• How genetics, lifestyle, environment, and hormones influence aging• Important longevity biomarkers, including ApoB, lipoprotein(a), fasting insulin, and hs-CRP• What DEXA scans, coronary calcium scores, grip strength, and VO₂ max can reveal• Which longevity tests may be useful—and which may be oversold• What biohacking gets right and where it can become unnecessarily complicated• Why the fundamentals still matter more than any supplement, wearable, peptide, or wellness trend• The choices women can begin making today to support a longer, stronger, and healthier lifeAging isn’t something we need to fear. It’s something we can thoughtfully prepare for.The choices we make today help shape not only how long we live, but how strong, capable, connected, and fully alive we feel throughout those years.CONNECT WITH DR.
