When Success Costs You Your Health: Teresa Reile on Cancer, Oxygen & Starting Over EP363

Send us Fan Mail **What happens when the life you worked so hard to build begins costing you your health?** Teresa Reile was a successful entrepreneur accustomed to pushing forward and making things happen. But after facing cancer, major surgery, personal loss, and another frightening health scare, she was forced to reconsider what success really means—and whether achievement matters if your body can no longer sustain the life you’ve created. In this episode of *It’s Hertime*, Teresa shares how those experiences changed her relationship with her body, her purpose, and her own well-being. She also explains how her search for answers led her to study hypoxia—the lack of adequate oxygen within the tissues—and eventually build a new mission around oxygen, resilience, and vitality.  Cody and Teresa also explore the deeper meaning behind the familiar instruction to “put your own oxygen mask on first.” Because caring for yourself isn’t selfish. It’s what creates the capacity to keep showing up for the people, purpose, and life you love. **In this episode, you’ll hear:** - How Teresa’s cancer journey transformed her definition of success - What happened when years of pushing through finally caught up with her - Why a health crisis can cause us to question everything we thought mattered - How Teresa became interested in hypoxia, cellular health, and oxygen - The difference between surviving a difficult season and rebuilding your capacity to thrive - Why women often wait until their bodies force them to slow down - What it really means to put your own oxygen mask on first - How hope, purpose, and perspective can support us through adversity - Why healing may require creating an entirely new way of living Whether you’re facing a health challenge, recovering from burnout, or realizing that your current pace is no longer sustainable, this conversation is an invitation to pause and ask: Is the life I’m building also supporting the person who has to live it? Sometimes healing doesn’t begin with doing more. It begins with listening to your body, restoring what has been depleted, and giving yourself permission to breathe again. **Connect with Teresa Reile** - Teresa’s Website⁠ - Teresa on Instagram⁠ - Patriox⁠ - Teresa on LinkedIn⁠ - From Tumor to Triumph: My Oxygen Awakening **Connect With Cody** - Follow Cody on Instagram: @codyjeansanders - **Shop Mixhers:** mixhers.com and use code **CODY** for 15% off - **Interested in hormones, labs, or peptides?** Get started with Cody ⁠ If this episode encouraged you, please subscribe to *It’s Hertime*, leave a review, and share it with someone who may need the reminder that caring for themselves isn’t selfish—it’s essential.
