Hey everyone!! I'm Lilly! 💗🥤

I wanted to hop on here and introduce myself as the new owner of Excel Nutrition!!

I'm an Excelsior Springs native, born and raised right here in our awesome community! 💛🖤 It's pretty crazy to think that I now own a business in the same town I grew up in, but I'm SO excited for this opportunity!

A little about me! I'm a HUGE dog lover 🐾, I'm a dog mama to Walter, Fern and our newest and orniest addition, Hank. I love spending time with my boyfriend, friends, and family. I enjoy living a healthy lifestyle, meeting new people, and just having a good time and good conversation!

I also want to give a huge thank you to Bret and Monica for trusting me with Excel! They've built something really special here, and I'm excited to keep that going while adding some of my own ideas and personality along the way!

To everyone who has already stopped in, reached out, or shown me some love, THANK YOU!! It seriously means so much! 🥹💗

If your ponytail feels thinner than it did two years ago, or your part is looking a little wider in the mirror, take a breath. You are not imagining it, and you are definitely not alone.
As a hairstylist for 30+ years, a board-certified trichologist, and a certified menopause coach (who is post-menopausal myself!), I don't guess when it comes to hair changes. Together we look at the whole picture—from the scalp surface to what’s happening on the inside.

🎥 I just sat down to break down what’s actually happening with midlife hair, what a scalp evaluation really shows, and what you can do at home today. Head to the link in my bio [or right here ] to watch the full video!

A quick reminder: sudden, patchy loss or scalp pain should always be evaluated by a healthcare professional or dermatologist.

Can I ask you something? Has your hair started acting like it has its own agenda?

One day it's dry and rough. Then it's frizzy no matter what you do. Then there's that one wiry strand standing straight up like a tiny antenna. Or maybe it has gone limp and flat, and nothing you try gives it lift. 👻

I spent 30+ years behind the chair, and I heard this all the time: "I've used the same shampoo for ten years, and now it doesn't work." Your shampoo didn't turn on you, friend. Hair texture can change for a few reasons, including hormone shifts in midlife, styling habits, and other health factors. Noticing what changed and when is a really good first step.

So tell me, which one is showing up at your house? 👇

A – Dry or rough
B – Frizzy, no matter what I do
C – A few wiry, wild-card strands
D – Limp or flatter than usual

If the change is sudden or keeps going, it's worth checking in with your healthcare provider.

Message me "LOOK" to learn about a hair and scalp evaluation.

Has your hair texture gone rogue?

One day your hair is soft and smooth, and the next you're finding wiry, crinkly strands along your hairline that feel like steel wool. 😂

You're not imagining it. Hormone changes can affect the follicle and the oil your scalp delivers, and your texture can change with them. Swipe through to see what's going on.

Has your texture pulled a switcheroo on you? Message me what you've noticed, from your crown to your temples. 💜

Husbands, listen closely: your wife isn't possessed, and nobody hexed your living room. 😂 Estrogen is just playing games, the thermostat is now locked at arctic blast, and yes, the sound of your breathing is currently a crime. Put on a parka, slide some chocolate across the counter, and back away slowly!

Whether you're dealing with perimenopause shifts, thinning, or scalp stress, I look at the root cause—pun fully intended—to get your scalp thriving again.

A huge thank you to Carissa for trusting the process and letting me share your win! 🌿✨

Not every hair change starts with shedding. 👀
Sometimes strands grow back finer first, and your mirror can miss it. Under the trichoscope, it's easier to see.

Try this at home: take a monthly photo of your part, in the same light and at the same angle.

Text Back Tuesday: Is something crawling on your scalp—or does it just feel that way? 🕷️

Have you ever been going about your day, suddenly felt a prickly or crawling sensation on your scalp, and wondered what on earth was going on?

It can feel unsettling—and spooky season gives the imagination plenty to work with! Sometimes people describe this sensation as formication, a term for feeling as though something is crawling on or under the skin. There can be different reasons for it, so it’s not possible to tell the cause from the sensation alone. Hormone changes and scalp dryness or irritation may be part of the picture for some people.

A few gentle things to try: use lukewarm water, avoid scratching with your nails, and choose a shampoo that doesn’t leave your scalp feeling tight or irritated.

If the sensation is new, persistent, painful, or comes with visible changes to your scalp, check in with a healthcare professional.

Have you felt the “phantom crawl”? Drop a 🕷️ in the comments—or send me a DM with RELIEF if you’d like to talk about scalp care.

Shedding feels sudden, but it usually started months ago.
Your scalp keeps a record of your body‘s hormonal and stress history. Save this for your next wash they scare and message me if it sounds like you.🕸️
