What if I told you the real key to unlocking your energy, clarity, and even your financial success wasn’t just about money? What if it was rooted in something else—your hormonal health?
I’m Lisa Chastain, and on my recent Real Money Podcast, I had the privilege of sitting down with two incredible women who are redefining health and wealth for women everywhere. Rachel Bowers, PA-C, and her sister Tabitha Simmons are the co-founders of Halcyon Wellness in Las Vegas, and they’re here to shine a light on a topic that’s changing lives—the intersection of hormonal wellness and financial power.
We’re making the case today that wellness truly is wealth. If you’re in your 30s, 40s, or 50s and feeling stuck, tired, or not like yourself, this might just be the most important thing you read this week.
Why Hormonal Wellness Should Be Your Priority
For so many of us, the stress and challenges of modern life feel never-ending. But have you stopped to ask whether your exhaustion or brain fog is truly “normal”? According to Rachel and Tabitha, it often isn’t. Instead, it can be linked to hormonal imbalances that many of us ignore.
Rachel explained something that really resonated with me. Hormonal health doesn’t just affect how you feel physically—it impacts your ability to focus, stay motivated, and make clear financial decisions.
“When women invest in their hormonal wellness, they’re really investing in their ability to thrive in every aspect of life,” she shared. “When your energy and clarity improve, your financial performance follows.”
Imagine waking up every day feeling fully present, energetic, and aligned with your goals. That’s not just good for your health—it’s a game changer for your finances, too.
Common Causes of Hormonal Imbalances
I’ll admit, before recording this episode, I didn’t fully understand just how many factors contribute to hormonal imbalances. Tabitha broke it down for us in a way that really hit home.
“Stress, poor sleep, diet, and major life transitions like pregnancy or perimenopause can all throw hormones out of sync,” she said.
She also talked about how symptoms like brain fog, low energy, irritability, and even chronic apathy are often dismissed as part of “normal life.” But these issues often point to something deeper going on—imbalances that, when identified and addressed, can create profound change.
How Hormonal Health Fuels Financial Success
One of my favorite moments in our conversation was hearing Rachel and Tabitha talk about clients who had experienced major life transformations after addressing their hormonal health.
“We worked with one woman who’d been stuck in a vicious cycle of burnout,” Rachel recalled. “She was exhausted, unable to focus, and believed her fatigue was just part of getting older. Once we identified her hormonal imbalances and started personalized treatments, everything shifted.”
This woman didn’t just feel better physically—she rediscovered her motivation, landed a promotion, and started building financial stability for the first time in years. It’s powerful to see how regaining your health affects every aspect of your life.
Here’s why this works. When you’re not weighed down by fatigue or emotional overwhelm, you’re better equipped to pursue opportunities, set boundaries, and think critically about money. Your health literally becomes the foundation for your success.
The Halcyon Wellness Approach
Rachel and Tabitha are on a mission to empower women with knowledge and the tools to take charge of their health. At Halcyon Wellness, they’ve embraced concierge medicine, an approach that prioritizes personalized care.
What does that look like? For starters, it involves comprehensive hormone testing to uncover issues that might get missed in traditional check-ups. From there, they create tailored plans for their clients, including bioidentical hormone therapies and lifestyle coaching.
Unlike cookie-cutter solutions, concierge medicine provides the time and attention women need to feel supported. “We don’t believe in band-aid fixes,” Tabitha emphasized. “We’re here to help women feel like themselves again—and that requires a holistic, personalized approach.”
Practical Steps to Reclaim Your Wellness—and Your Wealth
If this resonates with you, here’s the good news. You don’t have to settle for feeling stuck or out of alignment. Rachel and Tabitha shared several steps you can take today to start reclaiming your energy and health:
1. Listen to Your Body
Feeling drained, moody, or unlike yourself isn’t “just life.” Start paying attention to changes in your energy, sleep, and emotions—they’re often clues to deeper imbalances.
2. Seek Comprehensive Hormone Testing
Regular health check-ups often don’t tell the full story. Ask about getting your hormones tested, especially if you’re experiencing unexplained symptoms.
3. Explore Bioidentical Hormone Therapy
If testing reveals imbalances, consider bioidentical hormones. They work with your body to restore balance in a natural, effective way.
4. Focus on Holistic Health
True wellness isn’t one-dimensional. Prioritize a nutrient-rich diet, regular exercise, sleep, and stress management. These foundational habits support overall hormonal health.
5. Find the Right Partner in Wellness
Rachel and Tabitha made this clear—don’t go it alone. Partnering with a provider who understands your unique needs can save you time, money, and frustration in the long run.
A Call to Action
As we wrapped up the conversation, one thing stood out to me more than anything else—wellness is a choice you can make, and it starts with taking that first step.
If you’re ready to prioritize your health and see the ripple effect on your finances, I highly encourage you to explore Halcyon Wellness. Rachel and Tabitha’s compassionate, evidence-based approach has already changed lives, and they’re ready to help you reclaim yours, too.

ABOUT LISA CHASTAIN:
Lisa also uses many tools that she used throughout her money journey and invites you to try them as well. As a first step, she recommends reading her book, Girl, Get Your $hit Together in which she helps women tackle their financial story and shares her entire story. After reading the book, she invites listeners to join the Stop Budgeting System– the very method she used to gain financial freedom and clarity.
ABOUT MY UPCOMING BOOK:
I’m thrilled to share some exciting news with you! My new book, “Stop Budgeting Start Living,” will be released this summer. This project has been a labor of love and represents years of working with women to transform their relationship with money.
In this book, I explore how our financial history shapes our beliefs about money. I’ve found that many women today are still operating under mindsets that were formed generations ago, when our grandmothers and great-grandmothers had little financial power or autonomy.
The book offers practical strategies for:
- Identifying the roots of your money mindset
- Breaking free from restrictive financial patterns
- Creating new pathways for financial success
- Moving from financial dependence to financial power
I believe that understanding where our money beliefs come from is the first step toward changing them. When we recognize that many of our limitations aren’t external “blocks” but rather pathways that haven’t yet been created, we can begin to build new financial futures for ourselves.
This summer release feels particularly meaningful during Women’s History Month, as we reflect on how far women have come financially and how much further we can go. I can’t wait to share this work with you and continue our journey toward financial confidence together.
