Meet Heather Rhodes

Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Heather Rhodes. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Heather , thrilled to have you on the platform as I think our readers can really benefit from your insights and experiences. In particular, we’d love to hear about how you think about burnout, avoiding or overcoming burnout, etc.

It’s interesting that burnout is something almost anyone can relate to, feel, experience but it is hard to actually define. For me, I’ve been a serial burnout queen- if it wasn’t from school while in college, it was from working out & finding purpose while a young adult, motherhood as a parent. What I’ve learned through each season is that the burn out never comes from too much on my plate, to many “to-do’s”, or not enough time. It always stems from expectations and my perspective of them. A mismatch in how I want to show up versus how I am, a constant comparison game, a never enough syndrome. What I’ve learned is the key to overcoming this is by not ever looking for outside circumstances to chance but rather deciding to change who I’m being. Am I being a mom that takes care of herself? That talks to and about herself how she would want her children to do for themselves? Am I being someone that’s in awe of the blessings she’s had in her life? Am I surrendering control or judging and resisting every opportunity from a place of fear? It’s never easy to make these shifts but as soon as you can start to recognize when your brain is blaming something other than itself, it’s your clue to take a minute and ask who you’re choosing to be. It will feel massively uncomfortable; but that’s exactly how new ways get paved.

Let’s take a small detour – maybe you can share a bit about yourself before we dive back into some of the other questions we had for you?

As a clinical pharmacist, I spent years in provider offices serving patients through medication and chronic disease state management. It became overwhelming clear, likely just a few weeks in, how much people desire to heal. How much they desire for their body’s to work really well; on their own, without more medications and more symptoms. Along the way, while trying to grow our family, I suddenly became the patient. It was the first time I experienced this exact sentiment– of wanting healing, wanting answers, believing my body had what it needed to make things happen but being pushed through a system of labs, appointments, meds I hated, and frustration that piled up daily. Sitting on my Ikea couch one afternoon in my 20s, it hit me, God did not design our bodies to just work great then break and require chemicals someone developed in the 80s to be the only way we stay alive and feel great. As a pharmacist, you learn how almost every part of the body works, through the lens of how medications fix any problems that arise. I decided in that moment to shift the lens and instead look for ways the body already had what it needed to self-correct and heal. After going back to school for natural medicine I combined my intricate pharmacy knowledge with holistic practice and began educating the providers I worked alongside of. I quickly realized how much even they desired this information to be put to use by their patients, so much so that my schedule booked out from referrals following just one training I provided to doctors on female hormones. Knowing this information had to reach more people, I created my online company, Dr. Heather Rhodes to teach women how their body works and how to work with it. Since then, we’ve watched hundreds of women step into not just hormone balance but a life where their unique female design is fueling their motherhood, productivity, and health. Our Restore Your Progesterone method is one of the only proven programs to naturally boost progesterone, one of the most important hormones females have (and one that almost 85% of women are deficient in). Our Fertile Ground program has helped dozens of women bring home their miracle babies. Our fertility services specialize for women that are struggling with secondary fertility issues, recurrent loss, and high-achievers struggling to conceive. In 2025, after holding an impressive conception success rate, we are expanding this fertility program and welcoming in new clients!

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?

Communication and Sales skills- selling is simply guiding people to make the decision that is the best one for them. Learning to communicate value in a way that allows them to make that decision well and easily has been an undeniable advantage- whether it’s selling my children on bedtime or clients on action steps!

Self-Acceptance- learning that the deep work it requires to lessen the judgement of my own thoughts and decisions is always worth the continual effort. Understanding why I operate the way I do, how to lower resistance when it feels the most comfortable and finding my identity as a daughter of God first have all changed the way my life (and brain) operate.

The knowledge of how my body works and how to work with it– I say all the time that even if I did something completely different for my career, I will eternally be grateful for the skill of being able to support my body well. It’s incredible to see the productivity, energy, balance, stress resilience, physical benefits of the female hormones and after living years with mine completely out of whack; being on the other side in complete balance is a lifesaver! I have no idea how anyone runs a home, marriage, business, career with hormones that are as whacky as mine have been in the past!

How can folks who want to work with you connect?

Yes! I would love to connect and collaborate with others in the fertility space or even entrepreneur space but have women in their communities that may be walking through the demands of their career, home life, and fertility.
