52: Not Broken, Just Out of Balance: Transform Your Health Holistically

I’m David Fenwick, founder and host of Next Third Best Third, and today I had the honor of sitting down with the incredible Lisa Archer. Lisa isn’t just a board‑certified master herbalist and functional medicine coach—she’s also someone who nearly lost her life seven years ago and rebuilt from the ground up. In this episode, we unpack how our thoughts, beliefs, and emotional state physically shape our biology—and how you don’t have to be broken to begin healing. We dive into the science behind emotional health, the power of grounding, and why reframing labels can redefine your entire wellness journey.

Lisa guides us through mineral balancing—the literal foundation of our body’s cellular systems. From how stress depletes magnesium to using specific electrolytes to support energy, calm, and focus, she breaks down how restoring mineral harmony can transform everything from cognition to hormone balance. She also shares powerful stories: reversing menopause symptoms, reclaiming brain function with lion’s mane and mushrooms, and why even genetic predispositions don’t have to be your destiny.

But perhaps most inspiring is Lisa’s reminder: “You’re not broken, just out of balance.” Together, we explore how simple habits—like grounding in the grass, speaking affirmations, and tuning into your nervous system—can reignite cellular health and spiritual purpose. This episode is for anyone who wants radical transformation that starts from the inside out. Tune in, be encouraged, and get ready to make your next third your best third.
