    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. 
    OhmBody | Smart Relief for Period Discomfort & Wellness
    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.
    Topics Covered
    What OMBODY is and how it works
    The role of the vagus, trigeminal, and splenic nerves
    Heavy menstrual bleeding and cramping relief
    Why painful periods are not normal
    The gap in women’s health research and clinical trials
    Perimenopause, postpartum, and future applications
    Accessibility, direct-to-consumer care, and FSA/HSA options
    Normalizing menstruation at home and in culture
    Key Takeaways
    OMBODY is designed to support the body, not override it.
    Menstrual pain and excessive bleeding should not be treated as “just part of being a woman.”
    Women’s bodies are complex, variable, and underrepresented in research.
    Better menstrual care starts with better education

    This episode is a compassionate reminder that fertility is not just physical — it’s emotional, energetic, mental, and deeply personal.

About This Magic Life Podcast
This Magic Life is the companion podcast to Bonnie Lippincott’s book This Magic Life (Coming Q2 2026). This is a space for exploring the unseen forces shaping our lives: intuition, creativity, motherhood, work, and the invisible thread that connects every living being.Originally, I imagined this next chapter as Mid-Level Manager Mom (following Entry Level Mom), with an eventual CEO-Level Mom. But after stepping away from corporate America, the idea of “leveling up” in motherhood no longer fit. This podcast reflects that shift — from titles and ladders to alignment, presence, and living with intention.Through solo reflections and intimate conversations, This Magic Life invites listeners to reframe success, trust themselves, and recognize the quiet magic woven into everyday life.Booksbybonnielippincott.comPS This used to be called Entry Level Mom Podcast... Below is the info for episodes 0-122! Aka my old intro:(We're all "entry level mom's", with no prior experience.However everything we for motherhood need is within our DNA!In this podcast, I discuss various topics with friends and experts. We share vulnerable, and honest tales.The goal is to grow and learn, and to encourage/uplift along the way.This is connected to my book, "Entry Level Mom" available at booksbybonnielippincott.com (or Barnes & Noble & Amazon!)Please remember to be kind to yourself!)-Bonnie LippincottBooksbybonnielippincott.com
