In this episode of You Can Handle the Truth! Kathy sits down with Dr. Tanya Paynter, a naturopathic doctor with a masters in Christian apologetics, CEO of Psalm Medical, and founder of the Christian Women’s Health Fellowship. We talk about how faith, science, mental health, hormones, and Scripture intersect to shape the whole person. We discuss spiritual health, perimenopause, emotional stress, digestion, anxiety, insomnia, brain fog, Christian apologetics, and why God designed the mind and body to work together.

Dr. Tanya explains how spiritual alignment and time with the Lord influence physical health, cortisol, inflammation, digestion, and emotional stability. We cover the biblical foundation for mental renewal, community, gratitude, Sabbath rest, and the research behind practices like prayer, Bible reading, fellowship, and breaking bread.

We also talk about discernment, medical decision making, natural medicine, supplements, pharmaceuticals, trauma, thought patterns, and why Christian women often feel overwhelmed in midlife. Tanya shares practical advice on finding the root cause of symptoms rather than masking them and offers guidance on approaching wellness with wisdom and biblical truth. If you want to strengthen your faith, calm your mind, support your hormones, or simply understand how Scripture speaks to whole-person health, this conversation will stay with you.
