Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Psoriasis, and Hope with "Jordan"
A “bad stomach bug” nearly took Jordan’s life and it became the moment she stopped trying to muscle through and started reaching for God again. Jordan joins us as a homesteader, artist, and future certified herbalist to share what it’s like living with IBS, PCOS, psoriasis, and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, and how chronic illness can expose both the cracks in our support systems and the places where real hope can take root.
We get practical about gut health, chronic inflammation, and why IBS can impact everything from energy to nutrient absorption. Jordan explains the changes that helped her most, including removing trigger foods, cutting processed foods, minimizing sugar, avoiding gluten, and using a gut bacteria test to identify overgrowths and missing strains. She also walks through PCOS symptoms like insulin resistance and stubborn weight gain, plus the long fight to find a doctor who actually listens. Her experience with direct primary care, targeted labs, gradual strength training, supplements, and a few key medications shows how much management can improve when care is personal and thorough.
The faith side is just as real. Jordan shares the Scriptures that hold her steady, including Revelation 21:4 and the story of Elijah being cared for with rest, food, and water. We also talk about unhelpful Christian responses to sickness, why “pray harder” can wound, and what’s better: listening, praying with someone, and refusing to condemn what they can’t control.
If you need encouragement, better language for your pain, or a healthier way to support chronically ill believers, press play. Subscribe, share this with a friend who’s tired of carrying it alone, and leave a review so more people can find Christians with Chronic Illnesses.
