Want to feel empowered? Inspired? I got you sister! My name is Stacee Lynn, and I created this upbeat, personable, and sometimes wacky show, dedicated to the passionate pursuit of natural holistic wellness, just for gals like you and me. Listen in, and let's explore together, the many different ways to truly thrive as a 40+ woman in today's world - body, mind, and soul!
In this episode we’re exploring the topic of Naturopathic doctors and naturopathic medicine - which is a system that uses natural remedies to help your body heal itself.
Did you know that Naturopathic doctors (otherwise called Naturopaths) can help you with a really wide variety of health issues? They can! Personally, I’ve found that they can be especially helpful when it comes to hormone-related issues, and also in treating various different types of chronic illness in a really natural, holistic, and non-invasive manner.
So… should you add a Naturopath to your personal wellness team? Perhaps! I’ll tell you what… stay tuned to listen to my conversation with Naturopathic doctor, David Sandstrom - I think it will help you answer that very question.

Science is now telling us that our modern lighting, especially our heavy use of LED bulbs in our homes and inside all of our screens, is damaging to our health. It’s especially damaging to our Circadian Rhythms, which is very bad news because they control many of the fundamental biological processes in our bodies - and when they’re messed up, we’re messed up, big time! Luckily, there are things we can do to mitigate this damage, but first we need to understand a bit about what’s going on - and that’s what this episode is all about!

How often do you find yourself in a state of overwhelm these days? I have to say…
I’ve been having to pull myself out of that place pretty often over the last several months. Luckily, I’ve learned some really effective ways to do that over the years, so I thought it would be nice to come on the pod and share what I’ve learned with you, in case you too find yourself in a state of overwhelm and want to intentionally and actively move yourself out of that place, and back to the more calm and centered version of yourself. Remember her? Let’s do it!

Want to learn how to revitalize your own tap water and make it extra clean, tasty, and healthy? This one may surprise you!
In this episode I’m visiting with a lovely gentleman by the name of Ze’ev Zohar - he’s one of the co-founders of a company called Mayu Water, and he’s a really interesting guy. Ze’ev has been researching water for many years, and is incredibly knowledgeable about the things that affect our drinking water.
In fact he and his business partner Shay Eden, have gone really deep into the study of how water acts in nature, which is incredibly important to understand if you’re going to try to replicate that in any way - which is exactly what they’re doing with their work, and through their products. Ze’ev starts off with explaining how water moves through nature, and what it’s doing along the way... and it’s fascinating! We then get into several other things, like...

Most people drink herbal tea when they have a cold, or just because it tastes wonderful, or sometimes to unwind and relax… but did you know that there’s A LOT more that herbal teas can do for us when used medicinally.
In fact, once we learn about the medicinal benefits of certain herbs, and begin to drink herbal infusions, such as tea regularly, they can have a profound effect not only on how well we feel in the present moment, but also on our long-term health and wellness. So they’re an amazing tool for all of us to have in our natural medicine toolbox.
I’ve been using medicinal teas for a long time, so I thought it would be a great idea to bring an actual herbalist, someone who studies and works with medicinal herbs, onto the show to give us a peek into this magical and powerful world!

In this episode, I have a really fun and informative chat with an interior plant expert named Katlyn Daoust from a company called Plants By Her. Why are we talking about houseplants on a wellness podcast? Well…
As it turns out, science tells us that having plants in our homes and workspaces is a really healthy thing to do. So of course, I’m hoping this chat will inspire you to make indoor plants a part of your living space if they’re not already. And, if you’ve felt intimidated about doing so because you don’t have a clue where to start or how to care for plants, I think this episode will help you get past all that!

This episode is for those lovely listeners of mine that are disconnected from nature, at least most of the time. Does that sound like you? If so, I’m hoping to inspire you to form a new habit around getting outside daily, even if only for mini-doses of 5 to 15 minutes or so, because I know for a fact that it will make your life so much better (in a variety of ways) if you do this every day.
So... my friend Sarah and I are going to do our very best to convince you that it’s super worth doing, by sharing our own stories and the many wonderful benefits that we both experience by making sure we get outside every day, at least for a little bit. Jump on in and come have some laughs with us!

In this episode, we’re going to be exploring the different ways in which embarking on, what I like to call 'imperfect' creative endeavors (all different kinds), is not only good for our soul, but it’s also incredibly good for our mental health and by extension, our physical health - so it can be a really powerful tool in our holistic wellness toolbox.
My guest today is Jana Oliveira, and she’s a mixed media artist that helps women build artistic skills and find healing and joy through art making. She’s been creating, in one form or another, since 2007, and these days, she spends most of her creative time painting - she produces work in acrylics, watercolors, oils and also mixed media.
We’re having a relaxing and interesting chat - I hope you join us, and that you walk away from this episode feeling super inspired!

Do you have something that you really want to accomplish, I mean something that you care deeply about, yet you just can not seem to make any progress on it? Are you frustrated because you can’t figure out why this is? Well my friend... this episode will likely clear that up for you!
We’re going to explore why oftentimes it’s so damn difficult to make progress on health and wellness goals that are important to us. I mean, shouldn’t it be easier to get them done if they’re important? Yes! Right? Well turns out there’s a twist, and it’s name is Resistance - and let me tell you… it is both sneaky and incredibly destructive. However, once we know what it is, why it is, and how to catch it in the act… we can stop it in its tracks and we can change our life. So I’d say it’s definitely a concept worth contemplating. Let’s get into it!

It’s definitely been on my radar, and I have to tell you... it’s been messing with my head a bit, as it’s had me confronting some of my own ideas and feelings about aging. However, I’ve also been absolutely fascinated by it all, and I’ve been learning a lot about it lately, so... I thought I’d share some of that cool stuff with you, right here!

If so, listen in as I share my personal meditation journey - you’ll likely be able to relate to some of the things I felt and thought prior to becoming educated about meditation, and then ultimately embracing it.

Here's how to make sure you have the safest possible tap and drinking water in your home! If you think it's already safe, you may be very surprised by what I’m going to share here.
Getting this right is so critical to attaining good health, that we personally, need to make sure we’re doing everything we can to take control over this - because as you’ll find out in this episode, we can’t just rely on our federal and local U.S. governments to handle it for us.

There’s one health challenge that a lot of us face and we don’t even know that we’re dealing with it. Crazy, right? It’s called Chronic Inflammation, and it’s linked to an astounding number of unpleasant health conditions, from chronic pain to chronic fatigue, autoimmune disorders, digestive issues, sleep problems, depression and anxiety, and that’s just for starters - it’s a long, long list.
The good news is… we can actually do something about it using a variety of different holistic health practices. I’m sharing several of those in this episode as well as shining some light on what exactly Chronic Inflammation is, what causes it, why we want to reduce and prevent it, as well as what we can do about it.

There's so many things we women over 40 can do to help ourselves really, truly thrive! That's what this show is all about. We're talking holistic wellness momma... body, mind, and soul!
I'm your host, Stacee Lynn, and I'm just super excited to take this journey with you. Now, let me be clear... I am not a medical professional, and I don't even consider myself an expert. I'm just a passionate chick who spent over 20 years learning about, and practicing, many different natural and holistic health modalities. The list is indeed very, very long.
I know firsthand that navigating health challenges and figuring out an aging body can sometimes be frustrating or even scary. But I also know that we usually have more control over these things than we realize.
You see, I believe that we can actually change the game once we figure out a few things... like when we learn to embrace the strengthening and healing power of nature, and when we stop unknowingly harming our bodies, and when we understand and support our mind body connection, and also when we start supporting our bodies like the unique snowflakes that they are. That's been my personal experience anyway, and I'm absolutely positive. It can happen for you too.
So that's why I'm here... to share everything I know with you, and also to keep learning right alongside you. I'm so glad you're here, sister. I think it's time we jump in!
