What if your “mystery symptoms” weren’t random — but actually connected?

In today’s episode, Cody sits down with Dr. Diana Driscoll, an optometrist, researcher, inventor, and patient advocate who turned her own medical mystery into groundbreaking discoveries that are changing lives.

After years of struggling with unexplained dizziness, gut issues, fatigue, and “just anxiety” diagnoses, Dr. Driscoll uncovered key links between the vagus nerve, neurotransmitters, and the body’s stress response — and how they drive conditions like POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) and other “invisible illnesses.”

Together, Cody and Dr. Driscoll unpack:

•What POTS actually is (in real-world language).

•Why so many women are misdiagnosed or dismissed.

•The misunderstood role of the vagus nerve—and why “stimulating it” might not be the fix you think it is.

•How gut health, neurotransmitters, and the autonomic nervous system all connect.

•Why SIBO treatment often fails — and what her research discovered about healing it naturally.

•The powerful comeback story of her son, who went from years out of school to living a full, healthy life again.

•Practical steps for self-advocacy, testing, and finding real answers.

If you’ve ever felt dismissed, dizzy, or defeated by your symptoms, this conversation will bring clarity and hope. You’ll walk away with a new understanding of your body—and a reminder that you’re not broken, you’re just waiting to be understood.

Ladies, let’s be real—we’ve all had those moments standing in front of the mirror thinking, “If I could just fix this one thing, then I’d feel beautiful.” But here’s the truth: no serum, facial, or filler will ever create a lasting glow if the voice in your head is full of self-criticism.

In today’s empowering conversation, I’m joined by Sandra Lena Silverman—author of From BS to Botox: A Rebel’s Guide to Self-Love and Eternal Youth and the unapologetic, bold voice behind an Instagram community of over 250k women. Sandra is a life coach, speaker, and truth-teller who’s flipping the beauty script—reminding us that self-love and mindset matter just as much (if not more) than skincare and beauty products.

Together, we’re exploring:

✨ Why so many women chase products but skip the mindset work

✨ How healing past trauma can transform how you see yourself in the mirror

✨ The difference between empowering beauty rituals vs. covering up pain

✨ Sandra’s own “rebel self-care routine” that blends Botox and self-love

✨ Practical mindset practices to stop self-criticism and start glowing from within

This episode will make you laugh, nod along, and maybe even rethink the way you look at your reflection. Sandra’s honesty is refreshing, and her message is clear: you don’t have to choose between outer beauty and inner healing—you deserve both.

📚 Grab Sandra’s book From BS to Botox and connect with her on Instagram @sandralenasilverman for daily doses of truth, humor, and empowerment.

💡 If you’ve ever wondered how to feel radiant without chasing perfection, this conversation is your reminder: true transformation starts with how you speak to yourself.

Motherhood is beautiful, but let’s be honest—it can also feel relentless. Between endless to-dos, stress, and hormonal shifts, it’s easy for moms to put themselves last. But what if the key to thriving in motherhood is learning to tend to yourself first?

In this inspiring conversation, Cody sits down with Holly Swenson—award-winning author, wellness blogger, and mom of four—to talk about why self-care is anything but selfish. Holly shares her story of raising her four “gurus,” practical tools for bringing gentility and balance into everyday parenting, and how caring for your own wellness impacts your hormones, relationships, and family life.

You’ll learn:

Why “tending to yourself” is the foundation for thriving, not just surviving

How stress disrupts hormones—and what you can do about it

Practical ways to balance parenting with grace and gentility

The power of modeling wellness for your kids (without aiming for perfection)

How small, consistent steps toward self-care ripple into every area of your life

This episode is a beautiful reminder that when moms care for themselves, everyone benefits.

⸻

•Stress management is not optional—it’s a root-cause solution for hormonal harmony.

What if healthcare wasn’t about managing symptoms—but about unlocking your body’s full potential?

In this powerful episode of It’s Hertime, Cody sits down with Dr. Aleksandra Gajer, a board-certified physician and expert in hormone balance, metabolic health, and performance medicine. Dr. Gajer is the founder of The Gajer Practice and a contributing author to Triumphs of Transformation. Her mission is clear: to give women the personalized, science-backed care they deserve.

Together, Cody and Dr. Gajer explore:

•Why so many women are dismissed or reduced to “normal” lab ranges—and how performance medicine flips that model.

•What personalized protocols actually look like in practice and why they’re more effective than one-size-fits-all solutions.

•How optimized health goes beyond symptom relief—restoring energy, sleep, cognition, and confidence.

•The blind spots high-achieving and midlife women often miss in their own health journeys.

•What the future of women’s healthcare looks like when personalization, partnership, and empowerment lead the way.

Whether you’re in midlife burnout, navigating hormonal shifts, or simply refusing to settle for feeling “just okay,” this episode will remind you: you are not broken, and you are not imagining your symptoms. There is another way forward—and it’s personalized.

So many women struggle with thyroid issues—and yet these conditions are still misunderstood, underdiagnosed, and often mistreated. Fatigue, weight changes, anxiety, brain fog, heart palpitations—these symptoms are brushed off or medicated without ever asking the most important question: why is this happening?

In this empowering episode, I sit down with Dr. Eric Osansky, functional medicine practitioner, author, and host of the Save My Thyroid podcast. After achieving remission from Graves’ disease himself, Dr. Osansky has devoted his life to helping others heal thyroid and autoimmune conditions naturally—by addressing root causes, not just symptoms.

Together, we dive into:

•Why autoimmune thyroid dysfunction is so often missed or misunderstood

•The biggest root causes and triggers behind Graves’ and Hashimoto’s—and why that distinction matters

•Functional and natural approaches that support real thyroid healing

•The crucial roles of gut and liver health in reversing autoimmunity

•Myths, mistakes, and the most important labs to request if you suspect thyroid issues

•The message every woman with a thyroid condition needs to hear

This conversation is about reclaiming your power, your health, and your life. If you’ve ever been told your thyroid is “just fine” when you know something is off—or if you’ve been left feeling hopeless after a diagnosis—this episode will give you the clarity, tools, and hope you’ve been waiting for.
