Hormones feel too complicated to understand and I don’t have the confidence to know where to begin when I’m feeling off. Heck, I can still be completely surprised by my cycle and I’m 40 years old! Whether you’re caught off guard like me or have a nagging feeling something isn’t quite right, you’re going to get something out of this chat. 



Dr. Heather Rhodes is a holistic pharmacist with a passion for women's health. She makes understanding your hormones simple and teaches you practical steps for maintaining hormone balance. Her natural approach to healing creates lasting results and symptom relief with ease for busy women. You’re going to love this cross-fit instructor, adoption advocate, ice cream addicted mother of two!
