    Why You Feel Awful When Your Labs Are "Normal"

    If you’ve ever been told “your labs are fine” while you feel like a raccoon in a trench coat running on 3 hours of sleep… this one’s for you. 😅 In today’s episode of Her Health, Her Way, I’m sitting down with Dr. Kellie Lancaster (chiropractor + women’s hormone nerd in the BEST way) to talk about why so many women are dismissed… and what actually helps you start feeling like yourself again. Because “you’re just getting older” is not a diagnosis. And it’s definitely not the end of the story.  🧠 In This Episode, We Talk About… 🩺 Why “normal labs” can still mean “something is off” 🔥 The real reason women feel tired, wired, anxious, and not sleeping (hello endocrine system) ⚖️ Hormones 101: estrogen, progesterone, cortisol… and why the ratio matters 🌿 Why perimenopause doesn’t have to feel like a horror movie 🧪 Why guessing with supplements/hormones is basically “spaghetti on the wall” energy 🌎 Environmental overload: plastics, toxins, modern life… and why detox isn’t optional anymore 🧬 Why gut health + detox pathways impact EVERYTHING (mood, energy, cycles, sleep) 💡 Where to start if you feel overwhelmed: foundations first, then testing (the right way) Hormone support capsule and topical application hormone support :  3 drops clary sage  3 drops thyme  Clary Calm:  apply daily specifically at ovulation and after to help with the chaos of the second part of your cycle. Apply to wrists, abdomen and behind ears. 🔗  Link to products:  https://link.doterra.com/0q2JvQ  Vaginal Dryness: Yarrow/Pom with Fractionated Coconut oil prior to bed to support sensitive tissues in that area.  Yarrow/Pom Capsules 🔗 Link to products:  https://link.doterra.com/vix443   Foundational Wellness: VMG/EOMega and PB restore  Add on MetaPWR Advantage for optimal support  🔗 Link to products:  https://link.doterra.com/_JYaEg   👥 Connect + Follow  Dr. Kellie Lancaster — @drkellielancaster  ✅ If You’re Thinking… “Why am I so tired?” “Why am I waking up at 3am?” “Why do I feel anxious for no reason?” “Is this perimenopause… or am I losing it?” Hit play. And send this to your best friend who keeps saying “I’m fine” while she is… absolutely not fine. 🫶 Disclaimer: The statements in this content have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.

    Real Talk: Hormones, Desire + What Actually Helps

    This episode is a little different. It’s a Valentine’s Day Special… and it’s definitely on the spicier side 🌶️ So if you’ve got little ears around… earbuds in or save this one for the car. In this episode of Her Health, Her Way, I’m sitting down with my friend Spring (former nurse, mom of two, caretaker to FOUR kiddos… superwoman energy) to talk about something most of us were never taught how to talk about: Intimacy. Desire. Hormones. And how to actually bring the fun back. 😅 Because real talk… when you’re tired, stressed, perimenopausal, touched-out, or just in a season of “I cannot tonight”… it’s not that anything is wrong with you. It’s usually your hormones + nervous system + mental load all stacking up. And Spring says it best: communication is the real game-changer. 🎧 In This Episode, We Talk About… 💬 Communication first (expectations, what you like, what you don’t) 🔥 Why intimacy can feel boring in your 30s/40s/50s (hello hormones + exhaustion) 🧠 How mind chatter + stress kills the mood (and how to support your body) 🌿 Essential oils for confidence, connection, and “set the vibe” energy 💆‍♀️ Simple ways to start (massage, diffuser blends, slow + steady) 🛑 What NOT to do (aka: please don’t put peppermint where it shouldn’t go 😭) 🌸 Oils & Tools Mentioned ✨ Whisper (if you’re feeling “never in the mood”) 🌺 Floral oils like Jasmine / Rose / Gardenia (classic arousal + mood support) 🪵 Sandalwood (gentle, grounding, seductive — especially around ankles) 🔥 Spicy oils (like cinnamon) only when properly diluted 🧴 Fractionated Coconut Oil (your BFF for dilution + massage) ⚠️ Important note: essential oils can break down latex — use caution with condoms & clean properly.

Start now… slowly… with one of these: Pick 2–3 oils you actually LIKE the smell ofTry a simple massage blend (oil + fractionated coconut oil)Diffuse a “bedroom blend” you both agree doesn’t smell like cat pee 😅Have the conversation BEFORE the moment (trust me on this)Because the goal isn’t pressure… it’s connection. 🤍 Disclaimer: The statements in this content have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.

    Biohacking for Real Life: Sleep, Omegas & Strength

    We hear the word “biohacking” everywhere right now… but I’m not interested in hacks that sound cool. I’m interested in what we can measure, and what will actually create a meaningful impact on your health, energy, and longevity. In this episode of Her Health, Her Way, I’m joined by Dr. Russell Osgathorpe (aka Dr. O) to break down real clinical data around aging backwards and three biohacks that actually move the needle. MEET DR. O: Prior to joining doTERRA, Dr. Osguthorpe was the Pediatric Medical Director and Pediatric Department Chair of a tertiary care hospital. For twenty years, Dr. Osguthorpe has been committed to providing patients high quality healthcare in a manner that is both compassionate and safe. He has established large multispecialty practices in many disciplines and has a wealth of expertise in leading change through teaming. "I came to doTERRA so that I could promote an environment where patients are empowered and feel that the whole person is being treated and not just their symptoms," said Dr. Osguthorpe. "I believe that doTERRA is in a position to disrupt the healthcare system in innovative and positive ways that will allow people the greatest freedom and opportunity to dramatically improve their family's health. I am excited to embark on the new and exciting changes ahead and look forward to working with Dr. Hill and doTERRA's excellent team to make this change a reality." 🔬 WHAT WE DIVE INTO ✨ The Serenity sleep system study and the wild result: a 7-year decrease in “brain age” after 6 weeks 🧬 What epigenetics actually means (in real human terms) 😴 Why sleep quality is a major longevity lever (and how to support it) 🧡 The Omega + Wild Orange study: 978 genes affected vs. 33 with fish oil alone 😳 💪 The Copaiba study: improvements in functional movement + core strength gains (yes, really) 💊 Why modern vitamin tech matters (and why some supplements don’t stick around long enough to help) 🔗 PRODUCT LINK: https://link.doterra.com/krEtYc This conversation is packed with “wait…WHAT?” moments... but the best part is it’s grounded in data, not hype.

    Macros Changed Everything. Eat More, Lift Heavy, and ACTUALLY Feel Good.

    For a long time, I thought eating healthy meant bland food, endless cardio, and constantly feeling hungry. Turns out… that wasn’t true. In this episode of Her Health Her Way, I’m sitting down with Megan and Liz from Macro Manage Me; the women who completely changed how I eat, how I train, and how I feel in my body. I’m 47, in the best shape of my life, and I’m still eating food I actually enjoy. We talk about how macros don’t have to mean restriction, why healthy food should taste good, and how strength training — NOT endless cardio — is the real game-changer for women, especially as we age. In this conversation, we cover: - Why bland “diet food” doesn’t work long-term - How macros help you eat more (not less) and still see results - Why lifting heavy matters more than cardio for body composition - How to fuel your body without starving it - What body recomposition actually looks like (and why the scale isn’t the best measure) - How Megan and Liz build macro-friendly recipes the whole family can eat - Why age and hormones don’t get to decide what’s possible for you We also talk about real-life things women worry about: “I don’t want to get bulky” “I’m too old to see results” “I don’t have time for complicated meals or workouts” If you’ve ever felt stuck, exhausted, frustrated with food, or convinced that feeling strong and confident just isn’t in the cards anymore, this episode is for you. Instagram handles: @macro.manage.me  @meganreisinger310 @lizpugh01 Website: https://www.macromanageme.com I promise you this: It’s not too late. You don’t need a quick fix. And you don’t have to hate your food to feel good in your body. Disclaimer: The statements in this content have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.

    A Mother’s Fight. A Little Girl’s Miracle. And the One Gift That Truly Matters This Christmas.

    Welcome back to Her Health, Her Way. Today’s episode is different. It’s heavier. It's Vulnerable. And honestly…it might be the most important story we’ve ever shared. This week, I sat down with my sweet friend Brittany and her three-year-old daughter, Paisley, a tiny warrior who’s been fighting for her life since the moment she arrived at 31 weeks. Born with kidney failure after the heartbreaking loss of her identical twin sister, Paisley has survived brain bleeds, major surgeries, failed recoveries, multiple resuscitations, and nearly 1,000 nights of at-home peritoneal dialysis… before most kids even learn their ABCs. And yet? She smiles. She fights. She shines. In this episode, Brittany opens her heart and walks us through their journey; the miracles, the medical battles, the grief, the hope, the exhaustion, the advocacy, and the relentless love that keeps her going. She shares the reality of caring for a medically complex child, why she herself cannot donate, and how changes in the pediatric transplant system have made the wait longer and more urgent than ever. You’ll hear us talk about:  - What life looks like for families managing dialysis every single night  - The emotional toll and the unbelievable strength behind it  - The misconceptions around organ donation  - How living donation actually works  - Why sharing this episode may be the first small step toward Paisley’s miracle And most importantly: Paisley needs a kidney. A real, life-saving, future-changing kidney. This conversation is raw, intimate, emotional, and unbelievably inspiring. It’s not just about one little girl... It's about every family fighting silently behind closed doors, every caregiver running on empty, and every miracle we don’t always see. If you listen to any episode this holiday season… let it be this one.  Our Christmas wish is simple: help us spread the word. Share this episode. Send it to someone who might know someone. Post it. Talk about it. You never know whose share could be the one that changes everything for Paisley. 1. Paisley's story & indirect donating. https://animoto.com/custom-player/VTldEYxCF0SdjWfPgalGVQ DIRECT LIVING DONOR TO PAISLEY General Guidelines: Blood type O, 5’8”, 40 years old, and low BMI Donating your kidney directly to Paisley http://www.uofulivingdonor.org/ To learn more about living donation or paired-exchange programs, and to see if you may be a potential match, please share and inquire through the information provided in the episode. Thank you for being here. Thank you for caring. And thank you for helping us give the one gift this family has been praying for.
