Gratitude as Medicine: How It Heals Our Health, Hormones & Hearts EP321

Send us Fan MailIn this Thanksgiving special of It’s Hertime, Cody Sanders explores one of the most powerful — yet underestimated — tools for women’s health and emotional well-being: gratitude. Gratitude is more than a mindset shift; it’s a proven wellness practice that supports hormonal balance, reduces stress hormones, improves nervous system regulation, and helps women feel grounded during busy or overwhelming seasons of life.Cody shares personal reflections from her own journey — from the hormonal struggles that inspired her to create Mixhers Hertime over a decade ago, to the six-year rollercoaster of building Mixhers into a women’s wellness brand with heart, purpose, and impact. Through every challenge, gratitude became the anchor that helped her navigate stress, entrepreneurship, perimenopause, healing, and big life transitions.In this warm, reflective episode, you’ll learn:•How gratitude directly influences hormone health, including cortisol, serotonin, and oxytocin•Why gratitude acts like “medicine” for women experiencing burnout, stress, overwhelm, or midlife hormonal shifts•Simple gratitude rituals that support emotional regulation and balanced hormones•How gratitude strengthens resilience during life’s unpredictable seasons•A powerful guided gratitude meditation to help you feel abundant, centered, and supported•Why gratitude is one of the most accessible wellness tools for women in perimenopause, menopause, postpartum, and beyondThis episode is a soul-soothing blend of science, spirituality, and real-life wisdom — the perfect way to ground yourself during the holidays or anytime life feels heavy.⸻🌿 Join Us for the Mixhers Retreat — February 2–5, 2026 (St. George, Utah)If you’re craving connection, clarity, relaxation, and a reset, the Mixhers Retreat was created for you.
