We are diving into women's health with Stacy Welker, a Nurse Practitioner with a functional medicine certification.
Why does Western Medicine often skip over women’s health? They are vital to our health; when they are off, it can feel like you are going crazy. It’s not you; it’s your hormones.

We spill about the ride women's hormones can take you on monthly, the impact of toxins on our bodies, and how to rock those golden years with style and grace! If you aren’t feeling right, it might be time to leave those standard labs behind and seek a hormone specialist. You don’t have to suffer through any stage of life with the proper support.

Stacy’s goal is to educate everyone about hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and help us feel like our best selves as we journey through the different stages of life. She's all about that personalized approach, using tests like urinary metabolite and saliva testing to understand our unique hormone levels and pointing out the need for a more comprehensive medical evaluation. Standard labs may put you in the healthy range, but it doesn't give you the whole picture.
There may be something hiding beyond what Western Medicine is able or willing to test for.

She drops some real truth bombs about environmental factors messing with our hormones and credits using non-toxic beauty products for a healthier balance. We're discussing finding the right lifestyle groove to keep those hormone levels in check and make aging feel good.

Stacy's got your back if you're looking for ways to manage hormonal changes. From feeling good through hormone-related libido issues to her approach to aging confidently, this episode is packed with easy tips and wisdom to get you feeling better in no time.

So, grab your favorite beverage and join Stacy and me as we chat about the phase of womanhood together! Because we all know, this wasn’t something they taught us about in school.
