Faith Over Pharma | Holistic Health, Longevity, Hormones & Fertility

You’ve been told that exhaustion, mood swings, and feeling “off” are just part of motherhood. But what if burnout isn’t normal—and what if the answers go deeper than another prescription or quick-fix plan?

In this episode, I’m joined by Regina Steele, certified integrative health coach, speaker, and mom of three, who turned her own health breakdown into a mission to help other moms heal. After facing postpartum depletion, adrenal dysfunction, and autoimmune diagnoses, she refused to accept that survival mode was her only option. Instead, she rebuilt her health through root-cause healing, hormone support, and nervous system regulation—and now helps other women do the same.

Together we unpack:

If you’ve ever felt dismissed, told your labs are “normal,” or pressured to just push through, this conversation will remind you: burnout isn’t normal, and healing is possible.

Are you exhausted from holding it all together—career, family, responsibilities—yet inside you feel anxious, burnt out, and running on empty? You’re not alone.

In this powerful episode, I sit down with Sarah Ariaudo, the Stress & Anxiety Reset Coach, to talk about the hidden toll chronic stress takes on women’s health—and how to finally reset it instead of just managing it. After 20 years in oncology, Sarah experienced her own health collapse, losing her cycle, battling gut issues, and cycling through endless protocols with no answers. When she discovered that chronic stress was at the root of it all, her entire life and career shifted.

We also dive into Sarah’s journey with breast implant illness, how subtle but persistent symptoms signaled something deeper, and why learning to listen to her body literally saved her life.

If you’ve ever felt like busyness is your badge of honor, or that burnout is just part of being a “high achiever,” this conversation will encourage you with practical tools and powerful perspective shifts.

What if the real reason you're not healing has nothing to do with your willpower… and everything to do with the wiring of your brain and your beliefs about God?

In this powerful episode, I’m joined by Kathryn McAdam, a board-certified nurse practitioner and functional medicine expert, who shares her incredible journey from homelessness, trauma, and burnout to vibrant health and unshakable faith. Together, we explore how chronic stress, emotional wounds, and spiritual lies can keep women trapped in cycles of sickness—and how God offers a better way.

You’ll hear how Kathryn combines biblical truth with science-backed tools to help women retrain their brains, heal their bodies, and reclaim their identity in Christ. We dive deep into the nocebo effect, biblical neuroplasticity, and a concept Kathryn calls “Theo-stacking”—a simple but powerful shift that brings your mind, body, and spirit into alignment with God’s design.
