Trying to conceive after a vasectomy reversal? Preparing for pregnancy? Or wondering how to get your body back after baby? If you’ve worried about leaking when you laugh, the dreaded mom pooch, or struggling to recover postpartum, you’re not alone.
Many women are never told how to properly strengthen their core and pelvic floor before, during, and after pregnancy—leading to weak abs, back pain, slow recovery, and feeling like their body just isn’t the same. But there’s good news: you CAN rebuild your core, reduce diastasis recti, strengthen your pelvic floor, and feel stronger than ever.
In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Jena Bradley, a physical therapist, postpartum fitness expert, and mom of four, who is sharing:
✅ The best exercises to prevent leaks, heal faster, and rebuild core strength
✅ Why pelvic floor health is key for pregnancy, labor, and postpartum recovery
✅ How to reduce the "mom pooch" and restore your core after baby
✅ Why many moms struggle with diastasis recti and how to fix it naturally
✅ Simple, time-saving workouts for busy moms who feel like they don’t have time
✅ The #1 mistake women make with postpartum recovery (and how to avoid it!)
If you’re planning for pregnancy, in the trenches of TTC, or recovering postpartum and feeling frustrated with your body, this episode is packed with practical steps to help you feel strong, confident, and in control of your health.

Could inflammation and hormone imbalance be standing between you and the baby you’ve been praying for? What if a simple phototherapy patch could naturally activate stem cells, reduce inflammation, and support fertility—without drugs or invasive treatments?
In this episode, I sit down with Renita Brannan, a holistic health expert, to discuss how light therapy is changing the game for couples trying to conceive. We explore how chronic inflammation affects hormone balance, egg and sperm quality, and overall fertility health—and how phototherapy may be the missing piece to restoring the body’s natural ability to heal.
Renita shares the science behind stem cell activation and photobiomodulation, explaining how these patches work to regenerate cells, improve circulation, and even enhance sperm production and quality. We also discuss the role of stress in fertility struggles and how these patches help shift the body into a healing, parasympathetic state. Plus, you’ll hear jaw-dropping testimonials about pain relief, faster recovery, and even pregnancy success stories.
If you’ve been searching for a natural, research-backed approach to improving fertility after vasectomy reversal, this is the episode you don’t want to miss!
XO,
Susan

Are you feeling the emotional toll of trying to conceive after a vasectomy reversal, with no clear answers and the pressure of time ticking away? You’re not alone. The frustration of hearing “everything is normal” from doctors, while still struggling to get pregnant, is a pain many couples face on their fertility journey. In this episode, I’m joined by Beth Gulotta, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and host of Quiet The Clock, to address these very struggles and offer support to women who feel overwhelmed and misunderstood.
Beth’s own struggle with timeline pressure and societal expectations including the timeline around her fertility led her to start her podcast to help women navigate the emotional challenges of this pressure. Beth's fertility journey includes egg freezing, becoming a mom naturally at 40 and secondary infertility. In this episode, we talk about the importance of mindset, advocating for your fertility health, and exploring holistic fertility approaches. If you’ve been told to go straight to IVF or IUI without addressing your foundational health or fertility, this conversation is for you.

Are you struggling with infertility after vasectomy reversal, secondary infertility, or the heartbreak of recurrent early pregnancy loss? Have doctors told you that your chances of getting pregnant are slim? If you feel like the odds are stacked against you, this episode is for you.
In this episode, I sit down with Danielle Bartholomeusz, a mom of three who faced multiple early pregnancy losses, unexplained infertility, and emotional setbacks. Despite receiving a 5% chance of natural conception, she refused to give up. Through self-advocacy, holistic fertility approaches, and faith, she found the missing pieces that finally led to her miracle baby.
Danielle shares the emotional toll of early pregnancy loss and infertility, the importance of self-advocacy when doctors dismiss concerns, and how holistic approaches helped transform her journey. We also dive into the mindset shifts that made a difference, why fertility statistics don’t define your journey, and how discovering hidden fertility issues—like the DQ Alpha Gene match—can be a game-changer.
Many couples struggling to conceive after a vasectomy reversal or facing secondary infertility feel dismissed by the medical system. This episode is a must-listen if you're looking for real answers, emotional support, and a renewed sense of hope.
If you’ve ever wondered, Will I ever get pregnant? Is it too late for me?, this episode will remind you that your story isn’t over yet—and your miracle is worth fighting for.

TOP 2.5% GLOBALLY RANKED HOLISTIC HEALTH PODCAST
What if taking care of your health wasn’t about adding more rules to your life—but about creating a life you want more years of?
Faith Over Pharma is a faith-led holistic health and longevity podcast for women who want to feel strong, capable, energized, and fully engaged in their lives for decades to come.
I’m Susan Gladstein — Holistic Health Practitioner, Functional Nutrition Specialist, creator of Rooted Fertility™ and Rooted Reset™, retreat host, and mom of two vasectomy reversal babies born in my 40s.
My own fertility journey taught me to look at the body differently. Hormones, metabolism, inflammation, sleep, stress, nutrition, movement, nervous system health, fertility, and aging aren’t separate conversations. They’re interconnected pieces of how well we function now—and how well we’re able to keep living later.
On this show, we ask better questions about what helps the body thrive rather than simply accepting symptoms, declining energy, or feeling worse with age as inevitable.
You’ll hear conversations about longevity, healthy aging, hormone and metabolic health, fertility, strength, blood sugar, inflammation, mitochondria, sleep, nervous system regulation, natural healing, nutrition, and the foundational pieces of health conventional conversations often overlook.
But this show isn’t just about optimizing your body.
Because what’s the point of more years if you’re not actually living them?
We talk about the things that make those years worth having too: travel, adventure, meaningful relationships, faith, purpose, community, Blue Zone-inspired living, gathering around a table, trying new things, getting outside, staying strong enough to participate, and always having something on the calendar you’re genuinely excited about.
That same philosophy is at the heart of the Rooted Community and Rooted Reset™ retreats and experiences: health should give you more freedom to live your life—not become your full-time job.
The goal isn’t perfect wellness.
It’s enough health to travel. Hike. Dance. Carry your grandkids. Explore somewhere new. Say yes to the adventure. Sit around the table with people you love. And keep participating in your life for as long as God gives you one to live.
If you believe God designed the body with wisdom and you want a more holistic, grounded approach to longevity, hormones, fertility, and living well, you’re in the right place.
