This is StRest! In this episode, Kerstin Lindquist sits down with Dr. John Lieurance, a chiropractic neurologist, naturopath, four-time author, and Chief Scientific Officer at Mitozen Scientific. Known for his research on regenerative and alternative medicine, Dr. Lieurance shares how decades of treating chronic illness and neurological disorders led him to uncover the connection between cellular toxicity, mitochondrial dysfunction, and modern fatigue.

Together they unpack why true healing begins by cleaning the cell membrane—and how toxins, infections, and even stress silently erode your health. Dr. Lieurance breaks down the science behind phosphatidylcholine, butyrate, glutathione, and advanced delivery methods such as suppositories that bypass digestion to restore the body at a cellular level.

They also explore how melatonin and methylene blue are transforming longevity medicine: from improving sleep and brain performance to supporting detoxification and emotional balance. Plus, a surprising discussion on hearing loss, eyesight, and cognitive decline, and why something as simple as humming can stimulate the vagus nerve and calm your nervous system.

If you’ve struggled with fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, or chronic inflammation—and conventional medicine hasn’t helped—this episode will completely reframe how you think about energy, aging, and healing.

This is StRest! In this episode, Kerstin sits down with Dr. Manoj Arachige, physician, researcher, and Director of Product at Superpower, to explore how AI is changing the way we approach blood work, diagnostics, and preventative care. Manoj opens up about his journey from medical school at 18 in Melbourne, to practicing medicine, to leaving it all behind to travel the world before joining a San Francisco startup aiming to revolutionize healthcare access.

Together, they break down the limits of modern medicine—time, volume, and cost—and how AI-driven tools can help remove those barriers. Manoj shares how Superpower uses artificial intelligence to interpret lab data holistically, identify optimal ranges (not just “normal”), and give users actionable plans for long-term health. They discuss what blood work truly reveals about your body, the difference between “normal” and “optimal” health, and the key biomarkers most doctors overlook.

The conversation dives into why fatigue, thyroid, and inflammation often go undiagnosed, how AI can empower patients to prevent disease before symptoms start, and why relationships, movement, and nutrition still matter most. You’ll learn how to take control of your health data, interpret it intelligently, and partner with technology to live longer, healthier, and more aware.

This is StRest! In this conversation, Kerstin sits down with national speaker, bestselling author, and podcast host Rebekah Lyons to explore why rest is not optional—it’s sacred.

Rebekah opens up about her journey through panic disorder, motherhood, adoption, and faith, sharing how God used rest to teach her that our worth isn’t found in productivity. Together they unpack the biblical roots of Sabbath, the connection between rest and resilience, and how dependence on God—not control—leads to lasting peace.

She also breaks down her life-changing framework from Rhythms of Renewal, built on four pillars: Rest, Restore, Connect, and Create—offering a practical roadmap for trading stress and anxiety for a life of peace and purpose.

You’ll learn how to slow down without losing momentum, how to discern between control and surrender, and why obedience—not hustle—always precedes blessing.

This is StRest! In this heartfelt solo conversation, Kerstin Lindquist shares her own HRT story for the first time—why she decided to start hormone replacement therapy, what symptoms led her there, and how faith, science, and self-awareness guided her through the process.

With honesty and vulnerability, she explores how modern medicine and bioidentical hormones allow women to live healthier, more vibrant lives well into midlife and beyond. She discusses her mother’s battle with dementia, her own genetic predisposition to cognitive decline, and why protecting her brain—not vanity—was the deciding factor in saying yes to HRT.

Kerstin also breaks down what the newest research reveals about hormone safety, the myths created by outdated studies, and why every woman deserves access to accurate information and compassionate medical care.

You’ll learn why frozen shoulder, fatigue, and brain fog can be hormonal warning signs; how HRT supports cognition and long-term brain health; why women should find doctors who listen to symptoms, not just lab results; how progesterone and estrogen work together—and why bioidentical is different; and how faith and health intersect when making major life decisions.

This is a deeply personal, empowering episode reminding women that midlife isn’t an ending—it’s an upgrade.

This is StRest! In this conversation, Kerstin sits down with author, teacher, and trauma recovery coach Anna Runkle, widely known as The Crappy Childhood Fairy, to explore how childhood trauma rewires the nervous system—and how we can heal it.

Together they unpack why emotional dysregulation isn’t a character flaw but a neurological injury, how trauma fuels disconnection and chronic illness, and why healing begins not with talking about what happened, but with retraining the body and brain to feel safe again.

Anna shares her 30-year journey of recovery from complex PTSD—how she went from cycles of self-sabotage and despair to building one of the world’s largest online trauma-healing communities. She introduces her simple, free method known as the Daily Practice: a combination of written prayer, meditation, and nervous system regulation that has helped millions worldwide.

You’ll learn how dysregulation affects decision-making, relationships, and health; what to do in the moment when you feel triggered; and how writing, rest, and movement can restore clarity and connection.

Anna also discusses her new book, Connectability, which reveals the hidden ways trauma survivors isolate and how small, consistent “acts of connection” can help anyone feel like they truly belong again.

This is StRest! In this conversation, Kerstin sits down with physician, researcher, and lifestyle medicine pioneer Dr. Sharon Bergquist to explore one of the most surprising ideas in health today: stress—when harnessed correctly—can actually prevent Alzheimer’s, diabetes, and chronic disease.

Together they unpack why we’ve misunderstood stress, how “good stress” strengthens resilience and even rewires our brains, and why purpose is one of the most powerful protectors against cognitive decline. Dr. Bergquist introduces the science of hormesis, showing how exercise, fasting, heat/cold exposure, and plant foods stress our bodies into becoming stronger. She also shares her personal story of fleeing Iran during the revolution, how mindset shapes the impact of stress, and why “values conflict stress” is one of the most dangerous forms of all.

You’ll hear how resilience is a muscle anyone can build, why anti-fragility goes beyond bouncing back, and what practical habits (and mindset shifts) you can adopt today to live longer, healthier, and happier.

This is StRest! In this conversation, Kerstin sits down with spiritual director and author J.R. Man to talk about the season when life feels fullest—and faith can feel farthest. Together they explore why so many women (and men) in midlife feel guilt and shame about “not doing enough” spiritually, how performative faith crowds out intimacy with God, and why stillness and silence are the gateway back.

J.R. reframes codependency as “people addiction,” shows how healthy boundaries protect love, and unpacks Galatians 6 as a blueprint for real community—bearing one another’s burdens while learning to carry your own. You’ll hear practical ways to start a simple silence practice, how to find (or become) a discerning listener, and why grace—not grind—is the center of the Christian life.

You’ll leave with: language for naming codependency, a starter plan for silence and retreat, boundary scripts you can use this week, and a calmer, truer picture of God’s heart toward you.

This is StRest! In this conversation, Kerstin sits down with Dr. Nicole Cain—clinical psychologist, author of Panic Proof, and nationally recognized leader in trauma-informed holistic medicine. Together, they unpack the difference between stress, anxiety, and panic, and why your body’s fear response is actually a clue pointing you toward healing.

Dr. Nicole shares her own story of developing a fear of flying after turbulence triggered a trauma response, and how she learned to retrain her brain and body. She introduces practical tools—from cold therapy and havening, to gut health and hormone balance—that can help you calm panic in the moment and reverse the cycle long-term.

This episode will show you how fear of the fear spreads, how panic generalizes into daily life, and how you can reprogram your nervous system with curiosity and agency. You’ll leave with a fresh perspective, simple grounding practices, and the reminder that you aren’t broken—you’re worthy of healing.

This is StRest! In this conversation, Kerstin sits down with stress physiologist, author, and keynote speaker Dr. Rebecca Heiss—a leading expert on how to reframe stress as energy for growth. Together, they dive into the science of hormones, mindset, and resilience, showing how stress isn’t something to eliminate, but a powerful tool to harness.

Dr. Rebecca reveals her Fearless Stress Formula—a three-step process to stop resisting stress, get curious, and redirect that energy into purpose and service. From cortisol myths to the science of oxytocin, from movement and sleep to post-traumatic growth, she explains how stress can actually extend your life when you change the way you think about it.

This episode will challenge everything you’ve believed about “good stress” and “bad stress.” You’ll leave with practical steps—invite the tiger in for tea, get curious instead of calming down, and turn stress into a trajectory of service and meaning.
