The Secrets To Aging Gracefully with Nicki Williams EP263 Sep 24, 2024

Show notes

On today's episode, Cody has invited guest Nicki Williams to the conversation about the importance of aging gracefully and how fitness and food intake play a crucial role in this process.
Amy, a qualified pharmacist and fitness expert, believes that about 90% of aging gracefully comes down to our choices regarding fitness and nutrition. While both fitness and nutrition are important, Amy suggests that nutrition holds a more significant impact, accounting for about 80% of the equation. Fitness, on the other hand, is like the cherry on top. As we age, preserving and building muscle becomes crucial for maintaining independence and avoiding the need for assisted living. Amy highlights the importance of incorporating regular exercise and focusing on muscle-building to age backward and lead healthier lives.

If you’ve just been given a diagnosis of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), or suspect you might have it, chances are you are feeling overwhelmed, confused and apprehensive about what this means for your health and future fertility.

Sometimes, being given a diagnosis can feel relieving to finally have a name for the pesky symptoms you have been dealing with for a long time. This can quickly be overrun by a feeling of overwhelm in attempting to work out what to do next.
With the right advice for your body and the unique drivers of your PCOS, you can take back control of your hormonal health.

Having suffered from PCOS herself, Cody has worked with countless clients to dramatically improve their PCOS symptoms, she prepared this episode as kind of a PCOS Survival Guide for each of us to take the confusion and overwhelm out of navigating this complex condition.

Whether you have been newly diagnosed, suspect you might have PCOS, or have been dealing with this for a long time, Cody walks us through some of the key drivers of PCOS, and the most indicated natural solutions to start reversing these drivers.

Did you know that the birth rate is falling in many countries, and around a third of couples have some kind of trouble conceiving. So what’s causing this decline? Is it really down to rogue chemicals wreaking havoc with our hormones? And how worried should we be?

Endocrine disrupting chemicals can lead to many different reproductive health and fertility issues, as well as other forms of health issues. As is talked about in this episode, EDCs can contribute to endometriosis, they can worsen symptoms of PCOS, and they absolutely negatively impact male fertility as well.

Endocrine disruptors are found in what seems like everything — they are in the plastic bottles we drink from, in our favorite cosmetics, and in the cleaning products that promise a sparkling home. They're more common than we are aware of and what we'd like to believe.

In this episode, Cody talks about the top things we all should know about endocrine disruptors and fertility.

Immersing ourselves into very cold or nearly freezing water might be the absolute last thing any of us would ever choose to do, but it can be worth it — considering it's a habit that's linked to many health benefits, such as a boost in metabolism and circulation and it can significantly reduce pain and inflammation in the body.

Because of the benefits and after many years of implementing it into her own wellness routine, Cody encourages most everyone to take advantage of it. But, as she encourages us to try cold-plunging, she also shares how to make the most of the benefits and how to avoid the disadvantages that affect us as women. There are special considerations to keep in mind for us, because of our unique hormonal cycles and our reproductive health.

If we can understand how to integrate cold plunges into our monthly menstrual cycle we can maximize the benefits and avoid potential drawbacks, things like worsened cramps, for example.

In this episode, Cody helps us explore the science behind cold immersion for women, potential cold plunge benefits, and shares advice for all of the different stages of our menstrual cycle, as well as considerations for those who are pregnant, or trying to become pregnant, and even those of us who are using hormone replacement therapy.

How Sexual Desire Changes With Your Cycle EP256 Aug 06, 2024

We all have different sex drives, so what’s “normal” for you may not be for your best friend. Sexual desire can change daily, weekly, monthly, or even hourly.

Sexual desire is complex, and what turns you on is so individualized. Add stress, sleep disruption, and feeling connected to a partner in the mix, and there’s no single predictor of desire for anyone. But one thing is clear: your sex hormones play a huge role in helping—or keeping you from—getting in the mood.

Given that sex hormones shift throughout your cycle, it’s no wonder there are certain times of the month when you may feel more easily turned on and other times when your libido feels flatlined. On today’s episode, Cody shares with us, all we need to know about sexual desire, the menstrual cycle, and how our hormones influence both.
