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.

✅ Jen’s “Start Here” Plan (Before Valentine’s Day)

📌 Don’t wait until Feb 14 to try new things.
Start now… slowly… with one of these:

1. Pick 2–3 oils you actually LIKE the smell of
2. Try a simple massage blend (oil + fractionated coconut oil)
3. Diffuse a “bedroom blend” you both agree doesn’t smell like cat pee 😅
4. Have the conversation BEFORE the moment (trust me on this)

Because the goal isn’t pressure… it’s connection. 🤍

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)

This conversation is packed with “wait…WHAT?” moments... but the best part is it’s grounded in data, not hype.

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.

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.

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.

Your vet told you essential oils would kill your cat. But what if they were wrong?

Dr. Janet Roark went from skeptical veterinarian to “The Essential Oil Vet” after oils literally saved her life. Now she’s using them in her practice on dogs, cats, birds - even exotic pets - with incredible results.

In this myth-busting episode, Dr. Roark reveals:

 Why most vets are STILL getting it wrong about oils The exact dilution ratios that make oils SAFE for pets Her first “miracle” case that changed everything Which oils she uses for anxious pets (goodbye thunderstorm panic!) How to support aging pets WITHOUT endless medications Why she walked away from traditional practice The ONE brand she trusts after testing hundreds

Plus she answers YOUR burning questions:

•Can I diffuse around my cat? (The answer will shock you)

•What about dogs’ sensitive noses?

•Which oils should NEVER go near pets?

•How to introduce oils to a skeptical pet (or spouse!)

Whether you’re scared to diffuse around your fur babies or tired of your vet pushing medications for everything, this episode gives you the confidence to use natural solutions safely.

I never thought a grocery store could make me cry, but this conversation did. Today I’m sitting down with my friend Lindsay Hutchinson, founder of People’s Provisions in Perry County, the sweetest little grocery with a giant heart.

We talk about building a store that feels like grandma’s kitchen, connecting farmers to eaters, and a brave pay it forward model where families choose what they need and farmers still get paid. If you’ve ever wondered how local food can be both delicious and truly accessible, this is the episode.

What moved me most is how simple choices, like asking “Is this price okay,” can restore dignity and feed an entire county. This is community care in action, and I want more towns to have it.


What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
        •        How People’s Provisions grew from pop ups to a beloved neighborhood grocery
        •        The pay it forward fund that lets customers choose their price while farmers are paid in full
        •        Practical ways to start eating local, even if you don’t live near a farm
        •        Why seasonal foods are better for your body, your budget, and your spirit
        •        Easy convenience wins, soups and salads that make weeknights doable
        •        Founder lessons on trusting your mission, serving with dignity, and growing slow

Welcome back to Her Health, Her Way.

In this episode, I’m joined by my husband, Nick, and yes, I actually convinced him to try a castor oil pack for the first time. We’re walking through exactly how to use doTERRA’s new Castor Oil for detox, better sleep, and lymphatic support. You’ll also hear how it fits into our 90 Day Reset program that we’re currently doing together.

We talk about how castor oil supports liver health, how to apply it safely, and why purity matters when it comes to essential oils. Nick also shares his honest reaction to sleeping in a castor oil pack overnight, and it’s definitely worth the listen.

If you’ve been curious about detoxing, supporting your liver, or learning how to use essential oils more effectively, this episode will give you the practical steps to start right away.

🎧 What you’ll hear:
✔️ How castor oil works and why it’s unique
✔️ How I apply it safely for detox and lymphatic support
