Cyclical Living: How Hormones Influence Energy, Intuition, and Leadership
Tue Feb 03 2026
In this episode of the Wild Enthusiasm for Living Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Amatma Simmons for a rich, expansive conversation about hormones, leadership, intuition, and what it really means to live in alignment with your body. Dr. Amatma is a naturopathic endocrinologist, author, and podcaster whose work emerged from decades of supporting women through fertility challenges and burnout. What she discovered along the way became the foundation of what she now calls hormonal leadership, a way of understanding energy, productivity, and creativity through the natural rhythms of the female body rather than forcing ourselves into systems that were never designed for us.
Together, we explore how women operate on cyclical rhythms rather than a 24-hour clock, and how honoring those cycles can restore energy, reignite passion, and transform the way we lead, create, and make decisions. Dr. Amatma breaks down the hormonal cycle through the lens of seasons, from the intuitive quiet of winter to the outward, magnetic energy of summer, and explains how each phase offers specific gifts when we allow ourselves to work with them instead of against them. We talk about intuition, manifestation, leadership, burnout, and the powerful difference between doing and creating, especially when we reconnect with the heart and womb as centers of wisdom and creation.
This conversation is both practical and deeply soulful, blending science, lived experience, and a touch of the mystical. If you’ve ever felt exhausted by trying to keep up, disconnected from your body, or curious about how to lead and live in a way that feels more true, this episode offers a powerful reframe. What might become possible if your hormones were no longer the enemy, but one of your greatest allies?
Dr. Aumatma is a double board-certified Naturopathic Endocrinologist who discovered that her greatest breakthrough came not from speaking louder, but from learning to listen deeper. After nearly 20 years in practice, she evolved from a fertility expert to an intuitive leadership guide, teaching high-achievers to trust the wisdom their bodies already hold.
Dr. Aumatma founded the Holistic Fertility Institute, supporting couples to create families through natural approaches, and has trained hundreds of doctors in fertility specialization. She's the best-selling author of "Fertility Secrets: What Your Doctor Didn't Tell You About Baby-Making," host of the award-winning podcast "Egg Meets Sperm," and co-founder of Madre Fertility, the world's first Smart Fertility Analysis app.
