Show Notes

In this episode, Bonnie sits down with Amy G, president of OMBODY, to explore a new approach to menstrual wellness: a wearable, drug-free neurostimulation device designed to help women manage period symptoms more comfortably.Amy explains how OMBODY uses transcutaneous auricular neurostimulation (tANS) to stimulate nerves around the ear, support the nervous system, and help the body do what it already naturally does—only in a more relaxed state.

They discuss the science behind the device, including its potential to reduce heavy bleeding, cramping, gastric upset, mood instability, anxiety, and sleeplessness.The conversation also goes beyond the product itself and into the bigger picture of women’s health: why painful periods are often dismissed, how women have historically been excluded from clinical trials, and why menstrual health deserves more research, more funding, and more honest conversation.Amy shares OMBODY’s mission to make menstrual care more accessible and normalized, especially for moms and daughters navigating periods for the first time. She also talks about the company’s clinical roadmap, future research on adolescents and adults with heavy menstrual bleeding, and the importance of keeping the product direct-to-consumer so it remains accessible.
