What happens when you're told you have breast cancer—but your first response is peace, not panic?
In this powerful Testimony Thursday episode, Beverly Lewis shares how she chose a faith-led path to healing after her breast cancer diagnosis. Instead of rushing into surgery and standard treatments, Beverly pressed pause, asked hard questions, and sought God’s direction every step of the way.
From saying no to a mastectomy… to building a support team aligned with her values… to discovering alternative therapies like phototherapy and detox—Beverly’s story will challenge everything you think you know about cancer, healing, and what it means to trust God with your health.
Whether you’ve walked through a diagnosis or know someone who has, this episode is a reminder: God still heals. And you don’t have to choose fear just because the system tells you to.

What if the everyday products you’re using—like shampoo, deodorant, and even the air fresheners in your home—are secretly sabotaging your fertility?
In this episode, we’re digging into how endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) in your daily products might be making it harder for you to conceive.

We’ll talk about why even small, daily exposures to these chemicals can add up and cause long-term fertility struggles. You’ll also get some practical, easy-to-implement tips for replacing these harmful products with safer, fertility-friendly alternatives that can help you take back control of your health.

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.
