If you’ve ever been told “your labs look fine” while you’re sitting there exhausted, foggy, bloated, anxious, or feeling nothing like yourself — this episode is for you.

Today on It’s Hertime, I’m joined by Dyna Vink, a certified Integrative Health Practitioner and founder of Holistic Nutrition Lifestyle, for a candid, eye-opening conversation about why so many midlife women fall through the cracks of conventional medicine — and what actually helps.

Dyna shares her own perimenopause wake-up call: the symptoms that blindsided her, the frustration of being dismissed by doctors, and the moment she realized this couldn’t just be stress or aging. Through functional medicine testing, she uncovered hidden root causes that standard labs missed — and rebuilt her energy, confidence, and health from the ground up.

This episode is validating, empowering, and packed with practical insight for any woman navigating perimenopause, midlife symptoms, or that unsettling feeling of “something is off, but no one can tell me why.”

⸻

In This Episode, We Cover:

•Why perimenopause hits high-achieving women especially hard

•The emotional toll of being told “everything is normal” when it clearly isn’t

•How traditional medicine falls short for midlife women

•What functional medicine does differently (and why it changes everything)

•The surprising role parasites can play in fatigue, gut issues, and hormone chaos

•Detox myths vs. realistic detox foundations that actually support hormones

•The gut–hormone–brain connection and why gut health is non-negotiable

•Why optimizing your health is not selfish — it’s a professional investment

•The very first step to take if you’re overwhelmed and don’t know where to start

If your workouts are leaving you exhausted instead of energized, this episode is for you.

In today’s episode of It’s Hertime, Cody sits down with Lauren Kleban, celebrity trainer and founder of LEKFIT, to unpack why traditional fitness culture often works against women’s hormones — especially in perimenopause, menopause, and high-stress seasons of life.

Lauren shares how overtraining, excessive HIIT, and chronic cardio can elevate cortisol, suppress thyroid function, disrupt blood sugar, and stall results — even when women are “doing everything right.”

Together, Cody and Lauren explore:

•Why women’s bodies need rhythm, recovery, and variety

•How lymphatic flow is a missing piece in hormone balance

•Why joyful, music-driven movement is actually one of the most powerful healing tools for women

•How to build a hormone-friendly weekly workout routine without burnout

This conversation is a permission slip to stop punishing your body — and start partnering with it.

LEKFIT isn’t about shrinking — it’s about feeling strong, sexy, confident, and at home in your body.

Lauren shares what she hopes women take away from her classes beyond physical results: self-trust, embodiment, and joy.

As women, we’ve been told that feeling exhausted, bloated, anxious, inflamed, or disconnected from our bodies is just part of life — or worse, something we need to hustle harder to fix.

More workouts.

More food restriction.

More rules.

More willpower.

But what if being a woman wasn’t supposed to feel like a full-time job?

In today’s episode, I’m having a heart-to-heart conversation with you — the kind you’d have with a close friend — about why so many women feel overwhelmed by their health, and how we can step into the new year with clarity, confidence, and calm instead of pressure and perfection.

This episode is about simplifying hormonal health, reconnecting to your body, and choosing alignment over burnout.

In this episode, we talk about:

•Why women feel overloaded by health advice — and why it’s not your fault

•How symptoms are messages, not failures

•The biggest mistake women make when trying to “fix” their hormones

•Why doing less (but doing it intentionally) often leads to better results

•How stress, under-fueling, and over-training quietly sabotage hormone balance

•What hormone-aligned living actually looks like in real life

The 4 Best Gifts You Can Give Your Hormones This Year:

1.Consistency over perfection — why small daily habits matter more than extremes

2.Nourishment, not restriction — eating to support blood sugar, metabolism, and hormones

3.Movement that supports your cycle and life stage — not punishes your body

4.Planned rest, joy, and creativity — because your nervous system needs it to heal

I also share why I’m being incredibly intentional this year about scheduling rest, creativity, and connection first — before life fills the calendar for me — and how you can do the same without guilt.

A Special Invitation

If you’re craving space to slow down, learn how your hormones actually work, and reconnect with yourself in a supportive, beautiful environment, I’d love to personally invite you to the Mixhers Retreat.
