If you’ve ever thought…

“I’m doing everything right… so why isn’t this working?”

This episode is going to connect some major dots.

Because what if it’s not that your body is broken…

…it’s that your body needs something different?

In today’s conversation, Cody sits down with Becca Roses, founder of Mind Body Genes, to break down epigenetics in a way that actually makes sense—and actually applies to your life.

You’ll learn how your genes act as a blueprint… but your lifestyle, stress, and environment determine how that blueprint is expressed.

And why two women can follow the exact same plan—and get completely different results.

In This Episode:

• What epigenetics actually means (in real life, not textbook language)
• Why “doing everything right” can still leave you feeling stuck
• How your genes influence your stress response and nervous system
• The connection between epigenetics and hormone balance
• Why some women struggle more with PMS, heavy periods, or perimenopause
• How to start supporting your body without overwhelm

Key Takeaways:

• Your body is not random—it’s responding
• Your genes are not your destiny, they’re your blueprint
• Stress sensitivity is not a weakness—it’s information
• Hormone symptoms often point to deeper patterns
• Personalization is the missing piece for so many women

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything “right”…

eating well, taking the supplements, showing up for your life…

…but you’re still exhausted, stuck, or not seeing the results you expected—

this episode is going to connect some major dots for you.

Because sometimes…

it’s not about doing more.

It’s about what’s happening underneath it all.

Your nervous system.

In this episode of It’s Hertime, Cody sits down with Annie Yatch, who brings a fascinating perspective from her background in counterterrorism—where she was trained to identify hidden threats before they became visible problems.

Now, she applies that same lens to high-performing women, helping them uncover the internal patterns, nervous system overload, and subconscious dynamics that quietly keep them stuck… even when everything on the outside looks like it should be working.

This conversation is powerful, eye-opening, and deeply validating for any woman who has ever asked:

“Why do I feel this way when I’m doing everything right?”

⸻

What You’ll Learn in This Episode

• Why doing “all the right things” still isn’t enough for many women

• How your nervous system quietly shapes your energy, hormones, and capacity

• The concept of internal vs external threats—and why internal ones matter more

• How being “the strong one” can actually keep you stuck

• The connection between your home life, stress patterns, and physical health

• Why your body won’t respond if it doesn’t feel safe

• Practical ways to begin regulating your nervous system today

• How to finally shift from pushing harder → to actually feeling better

⸻

Key Takeaway

You cannot out-diet, out-supplement, or out-strategize a body that doesn’t feel safe.

When you begin supporting both your nervous system and your physical body…

that’s when your energy shifts, your hormones respond, and things start to feel lighter.

If you feel like your body suddenly stopped responding in your 40s or 50s… you’re not imagining it.

You’re eating well. You’re trying to stay active. You’re doing what used to work.

And yet — you still feel exhausted, stuck, or disconnected from your body.

In this episode of It’s Hertime, Cody sits down with midlife fitness expert Heike Yates to unpack what’s really happening in your body during this phase of life—and why pushing harder is often the exact thing working against you.

With over 35 years in the health and fitness space, Heike brings a grounded, compassionate approach to helping women rebuild strength, confidence, and energy in midlife—without burnout, extremes, or unrealistic expectations.

Together, they explore the deeper layers of midlife health—where hormones, metabolism, stress, identity, and nervous system regulation all intersect.

This is the conversation that helps you finally understand why your body feels different—and what to do about it.

In This Episode, We Cover:

• Why “what used to work” stops working in your 40s and 50s
• The real reason your metabolism feels slower (and what’s actually happening)
• How stress, hormones, and the nervous system impact fat loss and energy
• The hidden layer of midlife burnout (it’s not just physical)
• How identity shifts affect your motivation, confidence, and consistency
• The biggest fitness mistakes women make in midlife (and how to fix them)
• How to approach strength training, cardio, and recovery in a hormone-supportive way
• SPARK Framework explained in a simple, practical way
• How to rebuild trust with your body when it feels like it’s “working against you”
• A simple, realistic reset if you’re feeling stuck, exhausted, or overwhelmed

This Episode Is For You If:

• You feel like your body isn’t responding the way it used to
• You’re navigating perimenopause or menopause
• You’re doing “all the right things” but not seeing results
• You feel burned out, stuck, or disconnected from yourself
• You want a more sustainable, realistic approach to fitness and health
