Spark Faith with Dr. Kris Sargent: Renewed Health, Rooted in Truth, Restored by Grace episodes

  • Hello, 3 A.M. My Old Friend…
    It's 3:07 a.m. You're awake again. And now your brain has decided it's time to start thinking about everything you need to do tomorrow.
    Sound familiar?
    If you're a woman in midlife, you've probably heard that your nighttime awakenings are caused by cortisol, blood sugar, or menopause. But the truth is, sleep is a lot more complicated than that.
    This week on Living F.R.E.S.H., Dr. Kris Sargent explains what actually happens during sleep, why waking in the middle of the night becomes more common for some women, and how your daytime habits, changing hormones, and nervous system all influence your ability to stay asleep.
    We'll also discuss an often-overlooked cause of disrupted sleep in women: sleep apnea.
    Because waking up at 3 a.m. isn't a diagnosis. It's an observation—and an opportunity to understand your body a little better.

  • Is It Perimenopause—or Something Else?
    What if hormones aren't the whole story?
    Fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, weight gain, and sleepless nights. For women in midlife, the explanation often comes down to one word: perimenopause.
    Dr. Kris Sargent explores why perimenopause can share symptoms with thyroid dysfunction, iron deficiency, sleep apnea, and metabolic changes. Sometimes one condition causes another. Sometimes two conditions exist at the same time.
    Discover how to recognize patterns, ask better questions, and become an informed participant in your healthcare—without fear, guilt, or shame.

  • Are You Strong Enough to Ask for Help?
    We work hard to appear capable, confident, and in control. But what happens when the life we're presenting doesn't reflect what we're actually experiencing?
    Inspired by a sermon from Pastor Kyle Idleman on the Beatitudes, Dr. Kris Sargent explores the difference between looking strong and having the wisdom to ask for help.
    For Christian women navigating perimenopause, admitting we don't understand what's happening in our changing bodies can feel uncomfortable—even embarrassing. But why should we expect ourselves to know something we've never been taught?
    This week on Living F.R.E.S.H., discover why recognizing our need for help can open the door to understanding, genuine community, and God's grace.
    Strength isn't pretending we have no needs. It's having the wisdom to acknowledge them.

  • What Has Happened to All My Energy?
    We spend a lot of time trying to figure out how to get more energy—especially during perimenopause. Better sleep. Better nutrition. Hormone support. Exercise. All of those things matter.
    But what are we doing with the energy we already have?
    In this episode of Living F.R.E.S.H., Dr. Kris Sargent explores energy as something we don’t just create—we spend. Work, relationships, responsibilities, worry, achievement and even good things can consume enormous amounts of our capacity.
    And sometimes the harder question isn’t, “How do I get more energy?”
    It’s “Is this still worth what it’s costing me?”
    For Christian women, that question becomes an issue of stewardship—not because our purpose, productivity or accomplishments determine who we are, but precisely because our identity is already secure in Christ.

  • I’ve Never Been Anxious Before. Why Now?
    “I’ve never been an anxious person. Why am I anxious now?”
    Dr. Kris Sargent remembers the first time she experienced an overwhelming sense of dread. She was 48, standing behind the front desk of her practice—and going through a divorce. Was it stress? Perimenopause? Sleep? Blood sugar? Probably not a question with one simple answer.
    In this Living F.R.E.S.H. Regulation episode, Kris explores why anxiety is an experience, not necessarily an explanation. Hormones, physiology, life circumstances, relationships, and faith can all be part of the picture.
    Anxiety deserves attention and sometimes professional help—but it doesn’t have to become your identity or decide how much of your life you get to live.

  • I Just Don’t Feel Like Myself Anymore
    “I just don’t feel like myself anymore.”
    For many women, that’s one of the most unsettling parts of perimenopause. Maybe you’ve never been anxious before. You’re more emotional or reactive. Your brain feels foggy. Your sleep has changed. Your body doesn’t respond the way it used to—and you’ve started wondering what’s wrong with you.
    For Christian women, those changes can take on another meaning: Why don’t I have more peace? Am I not trusting God enough? Is my faith failing?
    In this Foundation episode of Living F.R.E.S.H., Dr. Kris Sargent explores why understanding what’s happening in your changing body matters before you judge it—or yourself.
    Your body may be changing. Your faith isn’t failing.
