Hi Listeners! 

If you’re struggling with bloating, fatigue, stubborn weight gain, or brain fog — even while eating “healthy” — your daily wheat habit might be to blame. In this episode, we’re uncovering how modern wheat affects gut health, inflammation, blood sugar, and hormone balance. You’ll learn why today’s wheat is not the same as what our grandparents ate, how it can damage the gut lining and slow your metabolism, and what to eat instead to finally feel lighter, clearer, and more energized.

We break down the science in a simple, real-life way — helping you connect the dots between wheat, poor digestion, and metabolic slowdowns. You’ll walk away with practical swaps, easy gut-healing tips, and a 2-week “wheat-free” experiment to help you see how much better your body can feel. If you’ve been feeling bloated, moody, or stuck, this episode will open your eyes to one of the biggest hidden culprits affecting women’s health today.

Hi Listeners! 

If you’ve ever felt anxious for “no reason,” this episode will change everything you thought you knew about anxiety. We’re diving into the real root causes that go far beyond your mind — from the state of your gut bacteria to your blood sugar balance and even your hormones. You’ll learn how dysbiosis (imbalanced gut bacteria) can lower your calming neurotransmitters like GABA, how blood sugar swings mimic anxiety symptoms, and why low progesterone can make you feel constantly wired. By the end, you’ll understand exactly what’s driving that anxious, on-edge feeling — and how to start calming your body from the inside out through simple, science-backed habits.

Sara also shares her own journey from pharmacy school confusion to functional medicine clarity — and how she helps women rebuild peace by supporting their biology and their faith. You’ll walk away with practical steps to restore gut balance, stabilize your blood sugar, and lower cortisol naturally, plus a powerful reminder to give your worries to God and surrender what you can’t control. This is your roadmap to lasting calm, energy, and confidence — body, mind, and spirit.

In this episode, we dive into the power of a dopamine detox, and why breaking free from processed foods and phone addiction is the reset your mind, body, and spirit desperately need.

You’ll learn how food cravings and phone habits work the same way in your brain, why this leaves you exhausted and moody, and how simple shifts can restore your energy, focus, and peace. With faith-based encouragement and practical strategies, you’ll discover how to reclaim your time, your health, and your joy. If you’re ready to stop feeling stuck in unhealthy cycles and start living with freedom, this episode will guide you step by step.

Hi Listeners! 

Are you exhausted, moody, and frustrated that no matter what you try, weight loss feels impossible? You’re not alone—and the hidden link might be insulin resistance. In this episode, I uncover why so many Christian moms are struggling with low energy, mood swings, and stubborn weight, often without realizing their blood sugar is at the root. You’ll learn why insulin resistance starts years before a diabetes diagnosis, why traditional advice like “eat better and exercise more” often fails, and how this silent issue could be holding you back in every area of your health.

The good news? Insulin resistance can be reversed! I’ll walk you through practical steps to start restoring your energy, balancing your moods, and finally turning your body back into a fat burner. We’ll also talk about the spiritual side of health—how inviting God into your wellness journey can transform not only your body, but your patience, peace, and ability to show up well for your family. This episode is about breaking free from exhaustion and reclaiming the vibrant, God-honoring life you were created to live.

Hi Listeners! 

Autoimmune conditions are on the rise, tripling in the last 30 years, and many women don’t even realize their daily symptoms could be connected. In this episode, we dive deep into autoimmunity with a spotlight on hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s — the most common autoimmune thyroid disease. From fatigue, brain fog, and hair loss to stubborn weight gain and mood changes, these symptoms are often dismissed or treated with band-aid fixes. But the truth is, your body isn’t broken — it’s sending signals that something deeper is going on.

We’ll explore how gut health, hormones, blood sugar, and stress all play a role in triggering autoimmunity and how lifestyle adjustments can help you move from survival mode to thriving. You’ll learn why testing beyond just TSH matters, how gluten and gut permeability are tied to thyroid issues, and the small but powerful shifts that can calm your immune system and restore your energy. If you’re ready to understand what’s really behind your hypothyroid symptoms and take back control of your health, this episode will give you the roadmap to start your journey.

Hi Listeners!  

Hormones are your body’s communication system—and when they’re out of balance, everything feels harder. Fatigue, mood swings, cravings, poor sleep, and even digestive struggles are often signals that your body is asking for support. In this episode, I sit down with nurse-turned-health coach Amanda Jeffres to explore how nutrition plays a critical role in hormone balance.

Amanda shares her personal story of navigating irregular cycles, infertility, heavy periods, and PMS—and how addressing gut health, blood sugar balance, and cycle awareness helped her reclaim her health. Together, we cover four key nutrition strategies to support your hormones, from balancing blood sugar and nourishing gut health to fueling with healthy fats, proteins, and cycle-specific care.

If you’ve ever wondered how to eat in a way that supports your energy, mood, and metabolism at every stage of life, this episode will give you clarity, encouragement, and simple steps you can start today.
