What’s Up? Wednesday
Are You Sick Yet? Are you sure?
If my labs are “normal” why do I feel bad? Fatigued? Hormonal?Anxious? Depressed? Stressed? Inflamed?
And how do I know what supplements to take?
How do you measure health?
There is another way entirely!
LABS! Ah, your doctor said your labs were “fine”.
But does that mean your healthy? Are you sure?
Today I talk about how your labs can tell you more than you think.
Are you looking at Optimal as a standard of health or just average, mediocre?
How far away from Optimal health are you?
Your Labs are the basis for your personalized supplement plan when you see me as a client.
No more supplement guesswork…

9 min - Mindset Monday: Do NOT Let THIS Win!
We know that any time we are attempting to get closer to God and God’s plan for our life - there may be an intervention!!
By Resistance - not the Star Wars kind, but the Satan kind. Steven Pressfield in his book the Art of War says Resistance may be defined as…just listen to get his definition. So how might those Resistance behavior patterns surface?
Most commonly they surface as
1. Hunger
2. Feeling Deprived
3. I don’t feel like eating healthy
4. “I deserve a treat”
Let’s walk through each of these to come up with a new strategy
1. Are you actually hungry OR is there something going else going on? Did you know that 40% of the time, your may just be thirsty?? Not actually hungry...SO let’s try water, LaCroix, something without sugar!
2. Feeling deprived and I deserve a treat may have a common cause. Ask yourself: Is this need to make a poor choice in reaction to something else going on? Do you deserve the treat OR do you deserve to live a longer healthier life for God

8 min - Foodie Friday!! Let’s Figure out where to start with FOOD!
This is the FIRST place you need to start with your food.

Healthy choices ARE DOABLE! It Doesn't HAVE to be HARD!
In todays episode I give you the first step to start a new way to look at food. 80% of our health outcome is related to the food we eat! It's all in the statistics - 70% of Americans are overweight and obese. Half are diabetic. And SORRY, Christians are more at risk than the rest of the population.
How can we be our best for God when the Holy Spirit is eating JUNK? This is all about our food choices.

About Spark Faith Podcast
From the publisher's feed
Welcome to Spark Faith, where faith, physiology, and real life come together.
I’m Dr. Kris Sargent, and after more than 34 years in functional medicine, I’ve learned that caring for your health isn’t about chasing perfection, following extremes, or constantly trying to “do better.”
It’s about understanding the body God gave you—and learning how to care for it in the season of life you’re actually living.
On Spark Faith, I help Christian women understand what’s happening in their bodies and make informed, practical choices around metabolism, hormones, nutrition, stress, sleep, movement, strength, gut health, and nervous-system regulation.
Because your body changes. Your life changes. And what worked for you before may not work for you now.
Together, we’ll talk about what’s happening, why it matters, and what you can do about it—so you can learn to pay attention, adjust when needed, and keep moving forward instead of constantly starting over.
This is Living F.R.E.S.H.
Foundation • Regulation • Energy • Strength • Health
I believe health isn’t a destination. It’s a direction.
Renewed Health. Rooted in Truth. Restored by Grace.
