Spark Faith with Dr. Kris Sargent: Renewed Health, Rooted in Truth, Restored by Grace episodes
- 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.29 min - I Just Don’t Feel Like Myself Anymore“I just don’t feel like myself anymore.”

But what if we're missing another kind of progress?
In this Health episode of Living F.R.E.S.H., Dr. Kris Sargent explores what happens while we're busy pursuing the goal. The woman who once lived on fast food gradually learns how to feed herself. The woman who was afraid to walk into a gym starts with an at-home YouTube workout and eventually becomes someone who knows how to train her body.
Neither transformation happens overnight. It happens through one small, appropriate choice followed by another.
Sometimes we don't recognize how much we've changed because we lived through every tiny step that created the transformation.
Health isn't about reaching a destination, it moving in a direction. AND It's about becoming along the way.29 min - The Progress You’re Not SeeingWe tend to measure our health by the outcome we're chasing: the weight we want to lose, the lab value we want to change, the strength we want to build, or simply wanting to feel better.

But movement and strength have a much bigger purpose.
In this episode of Living F.R.E.S.H., Dr. Kris Sargent reframes exercise around capacity: the ability to keep participating fully in your life. Strength helps you carry the groceries, climb the stairs, travel, work in the yard, get up off the floor, maintain independence, serve others, and keep saying yes to the life God has given you.
We’ll also talk about why more exercise isn’t necessarily better, how nourishment and recovery contribute to adaptation, and why today’s workout is really an investment in what you want your body to be capable of years from now.
Instead of asking only, “What do I want my body to look like?” perhaps it’s time to ask:
“What do I want my body to still be able to do?”
Because exercise isn’t punishment for what you ate.
We’re training for the life we want to keep living.29 min - Strength: Build a Body That Can Carry Your LifeFor years, many of us learned to think about exercise primarily as a way to burn calories, lose weight, or change the way our bodies look. But movement and strength have a much bigger purpose.

Sustainable change is not about perfectly following a plan. It is about developing the capacity to pay attention, make intentional choices, adjust when life changes, and continue moving in the direction you have chosen.
In this episode of Living F.R.E.S.H., Dr. Kris Sargent contrasts the reactive cycle of Autopilot, React, Resist, Restartwith a healthier rhythm: Awareness, Choice, Adjust, Continue.
You will learn why plans should become practices, why adjustment is a skill rather than a failure, and why consistency does not mean never missing—it means continuing when real life interrupts you.
If health is a direction, you never have to start over. You only have to choose your next step.28 min - Stop Starting Over—Just ContinueHow many times have you promised yourself you would start again on Monday—only to repeat the same cycle a few weeks later?

- Why healthier choices initially require more effort
