The "Toxic Five" Draining Women's Energy (And How to Fix Fatigue) with Dr. Evan Hirsch EP333

Why are so many women still exhausted—even when they’re eating well, sleeping more, and being told their labs look “normal”?
In this episode of It’s Hertime, Cody Sanders sits down with Dr. Evan Hirsch, also known as the EnergyMD, to unpack the real root causes behind chronic fatigue, long COVID, and persistent low energy in women. Drawing from both his personal health journey and clinical work, Dr. Hirsch explains why fatigue is rarely just about sleep or stress—and what actually needs to happen for true energy recovery.
Together, Cody and Dr. Hirsch explore the systems-based drivers of fatigue, the role of nervous system dysregulation, and why many women feel worse when they try to “push through.” If you or someone you love feels tired all the time, wired but exhausted, or stuck in burnout despite doing all the right things, this conversation will bring clarity and hope.
