StRest with Kerstin Lindquist

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.

This is StRest! In this conversation, Kerstin sits down with her favorite podiatrist—Dr. Nicholas Pagano, board-certified foot and ankle surgeon, QVC guest with Revitalign, and co-owner of Barking Dogs Foot and Ankle Care. Together, they explore how foot health is directly tied to stress, nervous system regulation, chronic pain, and even relationships and purpose.

Dr. Nick shares why plantar fasciitis, bunions, and poor footwear can imprison your movement—and why movement is medicine for resilience, joy, and longevity. He opens up about his own running background, knee surgery, and how yoga now keeps him mobile. From the link between gait and energy, to why the right shoes change everything, to his family’s health journey and his faith-first approach to medicine, this episode is both practical and deeply inspiring.

You’ll leave with clear takeaways: check your feet daily, wear supportive shoes, stretch and mobilize below the knee, and never underestimate the power of moving forward—literally and spiritually.

This is StRest! In a solo deep-dive, Kerstin reframes stress and shows why resilience is built—not born—when you pair purpose-driven “good stress” with real rest. She distinguishes eustress from distress and explains hormesis (small, controlled stressors like exercise, fasting, heat/cold) where growth happens during recovery. You’ll learn what to track (HRV, VO₂ max, CRP), how to use NEAT/VILPA for daily movement wins, and why strength + ruck training, yoga/HIIT, and smarter rest make you more adaptable over time.

She gets practical: fast, then feast (with whole foods from quality sources), leverage polyphenol-rich “killer plants” (berries, green tea, dark chocolate), and reintroduce environmental variability—sauna and cold exposure—to harden your system without burning it out. Kerstin also tackles purpose and faith: how aligning work and relationships with your calling turns stress into fuel, and where boundaries, therapy/coaching, and delegation fit when caregiving or life’s demands feel chronic.

She explains how aligning work and relationships with purpose turns stress into fuel, then closes with non-negotiables, a prayer, and a preview of the upcoming foot-health episode with Dr. Nicholas Pagano.

You’ll leave with a phased plan: move daily, lift 2–3x/week, sprinkle VILPA bursts, prioritize sleep, fast cyclically (with true refeed days), eat quality plants and protein, add sauna/cold as appropriate, invest in key relationships, and—most of all—chase purpose with faith and rest.

This is StRest! Rear Admiral (ret.) Doug Fears—former Homeland Security & Counterterrorism Advisor—joins Kerstin to share the practical, faith-centered protocols that helped him go from burnout at 55 to feeling stronger in his 60s. We walk through an N=1 roadmap: intermittent and extended fasting (autophagy vs. mTOR), sleep and breathing upgrades (tracking, airway work, mouth taping with medical guidance), daily breathwork, red light, sauna/cold, strength and ruck training, hydration/minerals, and oral-health considerations (amalgams, root canals, cavitations) via biological dentistry. Doug frames “good stress” followed by real rest, plus the role of prayer and Scripture in consistency and resilience.

This is StRest! Life strategist and pastor Tim Storey—coach to celebrities like Oprah—joins Kerstin to lay out a practical, faith-centered path from setback to comeback. For the woman in stage three of life (40–60) who feels like her best is behind her, Tim reframes purpose through Scripture (Psalm 92, Ephesians 4:1, Romans 12:2) and simple disciplines: renew your mind daily, take honest inventory across the “eight buckets” (mindset, spirit, body, work, finances, relationship status, extended family, social life), and partner with the right people and principles so the right plan can unfold.

We dig into anxiety (and why it’s surging), brain health tools (Brain One), and Tim’s “don’t get dramatic in the drama” rule—built on two hours a day of study, every day. He shares his Compton-to-global-ministry backstory, how accountability keeps high achievers grounded, why imposter syndrome hits women harder, and how to “cast your cares” to trade overwhelm for peace.

This is StRest! Cold immersion and breath-led transformation expert Marie Bodine joins Kerstin to demystify cold exposure—how to start, who should be cautious, and how breathwork turns a “loud feeling” into calm, clarity, and resilience. We dig into the real physiology (why cold water is “weights for your veins”), the mental reset that comes from training stress-response on purpose, and practical timing with workouts and sleep. Marie explains why “11 minutes a week” is a guideline—not gospel—why temperature often matters more than time, and how to reheat the right way (hint: let your body learn to do it).

Marie is the creator of Inner Peace Portal, blending ancient breath practices, neuroscience, and Positive Intelligence coaching to help people reset their nervous systems and reclaim personal freedom. She’s guided elite athletes, the Canadian military, and thousands of first-timers into ice with calm and confidence. As a giveaway for listeners, access her complimentary 10-part mini-course at innerpeaceportal.com.

We dig into GLP-1s (Ozempic/Wegovy)—what they do, why rapid weight loss can mean lean-mass loss, and how to protect your metabolism with protein and strength training.

We explore sleep and progesterone, the six-week whole-foods reset Natalie used to crush inflammation, and a simple “30-30-30” protein framework that’s doable even if you don’t love cooking. Natalie breaks down collagen’s role for joints, hair, and skin, why L-theanine can steady mood without making you drowsy, and how to pair fasting and workouts without spiking cortisol.

You’ll leave with a phased plan: move daily, lift 3–4x/week, front-load protein, manage stress, and sleep like it matters. If you choose a GLP-1, do it with coaching, a resistance-training routine, and a re-entry strategy so you don’t give back your gains.

This is StRest! Author, speaker, and corporate mindfulness trainer Kurtis Lee Thomas joins Kerstin to unpack the power of breathwork as a tool for stress relief, trauma release, and clarity. After years of seeking healing through invasive therapies and global spiritual practices, Kurtis found that conscious breathing was the missing link—and now he teaches Fortune 500 companies, athletes, and everyday people how to use it.

We explore his personal healing journey, why so many chronic conditions stem from “energy clots” rather than just physical issues, and how breathwork detox clears suppressed emotions at the root instead of just masking symptoms. Kurtis shares the science of oxygen and cellular energy, how blocked emotions show up in the body, and why breath is the original medicine that connects soul and body.

Practical takeaways include why three simple sighs can instantly shift your state, how Navy SEAL breathing techniques (4-7-8, box breathing, and double inhale/exhale) help regulate the nervous system, and why clarity—not just relaxation—is breathwork’s most profound gift. We also discuss how breathwork compares to yoga and meditation, why crying is a powerful release, and how writing down your fears can dramatically lower stress.

Kurtis is the founder of Breathwork Detox, chairman of the Just Breathe Foundation, and author of How to Thrive in the Age of Anxiety. He offers regular virtual sessions during the new and full moon to guide participants through this deeply transformative practice.
