  • Dr. Cate Shanahan on Seed Oils, Cholesterol and Protein Powders

    This is StRest! Kerstin Lindquist came ready to talk about seed oils. She did not expect the conversation to turn into a debate about protein powders.

    Dr. Cate Shanahan, a family physician and author of Dark Calories and Deep Nutrition, joins Kerstin to explain her approach to food and why she questions common nutrition advice. They discuss her views on cholesterol, the eight refined oils she avoids, the fats she uses for cooking, and the role of sugar and flour in her framework.

    Then comes the question that catches Kerstin off guard: Where do protein powders fit? Dr. Cate shares her concerns and acknowledges gaps in the research. Kerstin asks for balance, including what happens when someone struggles to get enough protein from food. They also discuss why Dr. Cate views collagen and bone broth powders differently.

    The conversation closes with cooking food you enjoy, sorting through a viral seed oil claim, and Dr. Cate’s two daily priorities: time in nature and enough sleep. Her final message is about hope, community and small steps.

    In the after show, Kerstin shares where she disagrees on protein powders and continues the conversation about cooking and the question her daughter Georgia asked: How do we make things better?

      • QVC’s Renée Greenstein Reveals the Health Scare That Changed Her Life

        This is StRest! Kerstin Lindquist sits down with QVC fashion designer Renée Greenstein, founder of Women with Control and Attitudes by Renée, for an honest conversation about faith, confidence and the health scare that changed her priorities.

        After nearly 20 years of living with diverticulitis, Renée describes worsening symptoms, repeat hospital visits and being told she could have died. She opens up about her fear of surgery, having part of her colon removed and taking four months away from QVC to recover. For the first time, she was ready to put her health before her career, even if it meant losing the work she loved.

        Renée also shares her Jewish faith, family traditions and approach to aging after revealing that she is 75. She and Kerstin discuss body confidence, asking for help and learning that your worth is not tied to your appearance or how much you get done.

        Behind the scenes, Renée looks back on building Women with Control, the pressure of running a fashion business and how handing over manufacturing responsibilities helped her finally enjoy time off. She shares the breathing, walking and boundaries that helped her slow down, along with her love of travel, cooking and home renovation.

        The conversation closes with marriage, family and Renée’s message to women: find one thing you love about yourself and build from there. You do not have to do everything, control everything or wait for a crisis to start treating yourself as someone worth caring for.

        MEDICAL NOTE

        This episode shares personal experiences and opinions about diverticulitis, surgery, recovery and wellness. It is not medical advice. Speak with a qualified healthcare professional about symptoms, treatment and recovery, and before changing your care.

      • Dr. Ben Edwards on the Measles Outbreak—and Why He’s Not Afraid

        This is StRest! Kerstin Lindquist welcomes back Dr. Ben Edwards, founder of Veritas and host of You’re the Cure, for an honest conversation about faith, fear, identity, measles and finding peace when life feels uncertain. They explore his four pillars of health—peace, movement, hydration and nutrition—and why he now puts peace first.

        Ben shares how public criticism and the pressure of his work have challenged his trust in God. He reflects on separating his identity from his medical title, recognizing people-pleasing and being honest about fear rather than pretending it is not there. He also explains how putting peace first changed the way he thought about helping people care for their health.

        He and Kerstin discuss learning to hear God through quiet time, prayer and journaling. Drawing on ideas from Jamie Winship, Ben explains how he notices thoughts rooted in fear, scarcity and division, then brings those thoughts into conversation with God. They explore negative self-talk, letting go of pride and remembering that your value is not defined by your work or other people’s approval.

        The conversation also includes Ben’s experiences caring for patients during the 2025 West Texas measles outbreak and his views on vaccination, nutrition and treatment. Kerstin asks how fear around illness can contribute to loneliness and what it means to remain connected to others. The medical discussion reflects the guest’s perspective; please read the medical note below.

        The episode closes with Ben’s morning routine as a father of six: making room for quiet, listening before rushing into the day, getting outside and slowing down. He shares his hope in people rediscovering their identity in Christ and choosing a life shaped by faith rather than fear.

        MEDICAL NOTE

        This episode shares personal experiences and opinions, not personal medical advice. Some claims about measles, vaccination and treatment differ from established medical guidance. Measles can cause serious complications. Two MMR doses are about 97% effective at preventing measles and generally provide lifelong protection. Supplements and faith practices do not replace vaccination or medical care. Speak with a qualified healthcare professional before changing your care. CDC measles guidance

      • Dr. Will Cole on Burnout, Grief and Why You Still Don’t Feel Well

        This is StRest! Kerstin Lindquist sits down with Dr. Will Cole, functional medicine practitioner, author and host of The Art of Being Well, for an honest conversation about burnout, grief, gut health and finding a way forward when doing everything right no longer feels like enough. They explore the personal experiences behind Heal Your Cells, his book with Dr. Josh Axe, and why Will believes caring for your health means making room for your emotional and spiritual life, too.

        Will shares how his father’s sudden death came during years of nonstop work, a book launch and a wave of public criticism following his podcast conversation with Gwyneth Paltrow. He reflects on the anxiety, digestive symptoms and disrupted sleep that followed, and the difficult realization that loving your work does not protect you from burnout.

        He and Kerstin discuss what it feels like to be told your labs are normal when you still don’t feel well. Will explains his approach to looking beyond routine results and shares his perspective on the connections between unresolved trauma, the nervous system and physical symptoms. They also discuss food, environmental exposures and why he believes a health plan needs to consider more than diet and exercise.

        The conversation then turns to the tools Will explored in his own recovery, including nourishing meals, journaling, EMDR, vagus nerve stimulation and peptides. He shares why meeting people where they are matters and why trying to change everything at once can feel overwhelming. Faith is a thread throughout, with a reminder that prayer can be foundational without replacing therapy or professional care.

        The episode closes with Will’s suggestions for beginning without doing everything: choosing one active and one passive form of support, spending time in nature and taking the next right step. He shares his hope for a return to real human connection, deeper faith and a life grounded in the present. For Will, moving forward means taking the next right step rather than waiting for perfect conditions.

      • Dan Wheeler on Losing His Wife, Finding Love Again & Life After QVC

        This is StRest! Kerstin Lindquist sits down with Dan Wheeler, former QVC host, author and co-founder of Fearless Faith, for an honest conversation about caregiving, losing a spouse, trusting God and finding love again. The longtime friends revisit their QVC years, including unforgettable moments with 50 Cent and Willie Nelson, before opening up about the experiences that changed Dan’s life.

        Dan shares how his wife Beth’s stage four cancer diagnosis shifted his priorities from work to being present with her. He reflects on three years of caregiving, the pressure of putting on a happy face on live television and the grief of watching the world keep moving after his own had stopped.

        He and Kerstin discuss asking for help, accepting support from friends and family, and finding comfort in prayer and Scripture. Dan recalls moments he believes were reminders that God had not forgotten him, and explains why the hardest years of his life were also some of the most meaningful years of his marriage.

        The conversation then turns to life after QVC, his book Hurricane of Love, the beginnings of Fearless Faith and his Finish Strong podcast. Dan shares how he reconnected with Pam, who had also lost a spouse, and how they built a marriage that makes room for both love and grief.

        Dan also opens up about his heart health challenges, fatigue and learning to slow down while continuing to work with his doctors. The episode closes with his commitment to choosing Scripture before his phone, sharing his faith and building a life of purpose. For Dan, finishing strong means continuing to answer God’s call in every season.

      • Jennie Garth on Beverly Hills 90210, Depression & Reinvention

        This is StRest! Kerstin Lindquist sits down with Jennie Garth, actress, designer and author best known as Kelly Taylor on Beverly Hills, 90210, for an honest conversation about depression, divorce, motherhood and choosing yourself after 50. Jennie shares why she stopped hiding behind a happy face and started making room for a life that feels more like her.

        Diagnosed with depression at 18, Jennie opens up about medication, the shame she once carried and why she now speaks openly about her mental health. She and Kerstin discuss protecting sleep, setting work boundaries and quieting a racing mind. They also explore her approach to food, movement and getting back into an exercise routine after surgery.

        The conversation then turns to ME by Jennie Garth at QVC, her I Choose Me podcast and her book, I Choose Me: Chasing Joy, Finding Purpose & Embracing Reinvention. Jennie explains why she calls her 50s her “building decade” and reflects on the hardest part of telling her story: falling apart after divorce and piecing her life back together.

        Jennie also shares the emotional weight of caring for her mother, who has Alzheimer’s, and accepting that she cannot manage all of her care at home. Kerstin draws on her own caregiving experience as they discuss guilt and giving yourself grace. The episode closes with Jennie’s message about making time for yourself, pushing through self-doubt and learning to have your own back.

      • Dr. Peter McCullough on Alzheimer’s, Cancer—and the Health Questions Dividing America

        This is StRest! Kerstin Lindquist sits down with Dr. Peter A. McCullough, an internist, cardiologist and epidemiologist, for a wide-ranging conversation about Alzheimer’s risk, cancer detection, obesity, COVID-19, vaccines and the daily choices he believes can protect long-term health. Kerstin begins with a clear disclaimer: several of his positions are controversial, and her goal is to help listeners hear another perspective, ask questions and speak with their own doctors.

        Dr. McCullough explains why Alzheimer’s is personal. His father died with the disease, his mother is currently living with it, and he is focused on protecting his own cognition. He discusses body weight, alcohol, outdoor movement, ApoE genetics, newer blood testing and the choices people may make when they better understand their risk.

        Kerstin and Dr. McCullough also examine inherited cancer risk, whole-body MRI, blood-based cancer testing and why standard screening such as colonoscopy still matters. The conversation then moves into his views on the pandemic, COVID-19 vaccination, routine childhood vaccination, nasal sprays, gargling and public trust in medicine.

        The episode closes with where he finds hope and the health practices he considers non-negotiable: food quality, portion control, aerobic and strength training, time outside, sleep and avoiding alcohol. He also explains why he encourages some patients to try 90 alcohol-free days and observe what happens to their sleep.

        MEDICAL NOTE

        This episode presents Dr. McCullough’s views for discussion, including positions that are controversial. It is not personal medical advice. Speak with a qualified healthcare professional before changing vaccines, medications, supplements, testing or treatment.

      • Sara Happ Walked Away From Millions—and the Beauty Brand Bearing Her Name

        This is StRest! Kerstin Lindquist sits down with beauty entrepreneur Sara Happ for a raw conversation about building the lip-care company that carried her name, losing control of what that name represented, and walking away from the business she created.

        Sara shares how a lip scrub she mixed in her kitchen grew into a major beauty brand and led to an eight-year run on QVC. She explains why the QVC set became one of her safest places, what changed after outside investors entered the company, and why she could no longer look customers in the eye and promote products she did not control.

        The conversation also turns to Sara’s three-decade battle with endometriosis, her 2023 hysterectomy, and the grief of giving up the possibility of carrying another child. She describes what doctors found during surgery and why women should not dismiss severe pain simply because they have learned to function through it.

        Kerstin and Sara also talk about divorce, therapy, family, faith, closed doors, and learning to stop measuring personal worth by revenue, appearance, or performance. Sara shares the two questions that now guide her decisions, why peace became more valuable than a paycheck, and what it means to write a new chapter on her own terms.

      • The Poop Queen Reveals Why Women Stay Bloated, Backed Up and Exhausted

        This is StRest! Kerstin Lindquist sits down with Liz Roman—better known online as The Poop Queen—for a direct conversation about constipation, bloating, Hashimoto’s, hormones, and what to do when you feel terrible even though your labs are called “normal.”

        Liz opens up about being diagnosed with childhood rheumatoid arthritis, struggling with painful periods and chronic constipation, and eventually discovering Hashimoto’s, Giardia, Candida overgrowth, and broader gut dysfunction through functional testing. Her own health journey led her to leave corporate human resources and build a practice focused on helping women understand their symptoms and search for root-cause answers.

        Kerstin and Liz break down stool testing, parasites, Candida, elimination diets, and why Liz prefers to support digestion, bowel regularity, hydration, liver function, and nutrient status before using aggressive eradication protocols. They also discuss why adding too much fiber too quickly can make bloating worse—and why the type of fiber matters.

        The conversation also connects perimenopause and menopause with constipation, histamine reactions, estrogen clearance, bile flow, liver and gallbladder support, and HRT. Liz shares the lab markers she watches, the supplements she commonly discusses with clients, and why health changes should be guided by data instead of guesswork.

      • Former QVC Host Nancy Hornback on Faith, Fear & Starting Over

        This is StRest! Kerstin Lindquist sits down with longtime friend and former QVC host Nancy Hornback for a candid conversation about faith, motherhood, career, and learning to trust God through closed doors.

        Nancy opens up about leaving QVC after 12 years, handling criticism, chasing purpose instead of money, and learning not to let rejection define her. She also shares why she chose to spend three months completely cut off from her family, phone, internet, news, and social media for Greg Gutfeld’s What Did I Miss?

        That experience forced Nancy to confront control, fear, family responsibilities, and her identity outside of being a wife, mother, and caretaker. Surprisingly, she found more peace in isolation than she expected—and more stress when it was time to return to normal life.

        Nancy and Kerstin also talk about parenting, faith, political division, postmenopause, and one of Nancy’s biggest lessons from the experience: seek first to understand, then to be understood.
