The Hidden Dangers of Benadryl: How Faith, Sleep, and Hormones Impact Your Health

In this eye-opening episode, health advocate and coach Andrea joins us to share her powerful journey from chronic stress and hormone struggles to deep healing through faith and wellness. We dive into the shocking connection between long-term Benadryl use and dementia, why hormone therapy isn’t always the full solution, and how faith can guide the path to true health restoration.

Andrea opens up about her experience overcoming sleep issues, managing cortisol levels, and learning to prioritize rest without guilt. She shares the importance of comprehensive hormone testing and how detoxing her body transformed her energy and clarity. If you're facing sleep challenges, hormone imbalance, or feeling stuck in unhealthy cycles, this conversation offers hope, practical tips, and encouragement rooted in faith.
