Hi Listeners!  If you’ve ever felt anxious for “no reason,” this episode will change everything you thought you knew about anxiety. We’re diving into the real root causes that go far beyond your mind — from the state of your gut bacteria to your blood sugar balance and even your hormones. You’ll learn how dysbiosis (imbalanced gut bacteria) can lower your calming neurotransmitters like GABA, how blood sugar swings mimic anxiety symptoms, and why low progesterone can make you feel constantly wired. By the end, you’ll understand exactly what’s driving that anxious, on-edge feeling — and how to start calming your body from the inside out through simple, science-backed habits. Sara also shares her own journey from pharmacy school confusion to functional medicine clarity — and how she helps women rebuild peace by supporting their biology and their faith. You’ll walk away with practical steps to restore gut balance, stabilize your blood sugar, and lower cortisol naturally, plus a powerful reminder to give your worries to God and surrender what you can’t control. This is your roadmap to lasting calm, energy, and confidence — body, mind, and spirit. Ready to feel empowered?  Grab your earbuds and listen in!

As Christian moms, we often juggle so much—our kids, our homes, our marriages—and yet we still feel drained, distracted, and disconnected.

In this episode, we dive into the power of a dopamine detox, and why breaking free from processed foods and phone addiction is the reset your mind, body, and spirit desperately need. You’ll learn how food cravings and phone habits work the same way in your brain, why this leaves you exhausted and moody, and how simple shifts can restore your energy, focus, and peace. With faith-based encouragement and practical strategies, you’ll discover how to reclaim your time, your health, and your joy.

Hi Listeners!  Are you exhausted, moody, and frustrated that no matter what you try, weight loss feels impossible? You’re not alone—and the hidden link might be insulin resistance. In this episode, I uncover why so many Christian moms are struggling with low energy, mood swings, and stubborn weight, often without realizing their blood sugar is at the root. You’ll learn why insulin resistance starts years before a diabetes diagnosis, why traditional advice like “eat better and exercise more” often fails, and how this silent issue could be holding you back in every area of your health. The good news? Insulin resistance can be reversed! I’ll walk you through practical steps to start restoring your energy, balancing your moods, and finally turning your body back into a fat burner. We’ll also talk about the spiritual side of health—how inviting God into your wellness journey can transform not only your body, but your patience, peace, and ability to show up well for your family. This episode is about breaking free from exhaustion and reclaiming the vibrant, God-honoring life you were created to live. Ready to feel empowered?  Grab your earbuds and listen in!

Hi Listeners!  Autoimmune conditions are on the rise, tripling in the last 30 years, and many women don’t even realize their daily symptoms could be connected. In this episode, we dive deep into autoimmunity with a spotlight on hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s — the most common autoimmune thyroid disease. From fatigue, brain fog, and hair loss to stubborn weight gain and mood changes, these symptoms are often dismissed or treated with band-aid fixes. But the truth is, your body isn’t broken — it’s sending signals that something deeper is going on. We’ll explore how gut health, hormones, blood sugar, and stress all play a role in triggering autoimmunity and how lifestyle adjustments can help you move from survival mode to thriving. You’ll learn why testing beyond just TSH matters, how gluten and gut permeability are tied to thyroid issues, and the small but powerful shifts that can calm your immune system and restore your energy. If you’re ready to understand what’s really behind your hypothyroid symptoms and take back control of your health, this episode will give you the roadmap to start your journey.

Hi Listeners!   Hormones are your body’s communication system—and when they’re out of balance, everything feels harder. Fatigue, mood swings, cravings, poor sleep, and even digestive struggles are often signals that your body is asking for support. In this episode, I sit down with nurse-turned-health coach Amanda Jeffres to explore how nutrition plays a critical role in hormone balance. Amanda shares her personal story of navigating irregular cycles, infertility, heavy periods, and PMS—and how addressing gut health, blood sugar balance, and cycle awareness helped her reclaim her health. Together, we cover four key nutrition strategies to support your hormones, from balancing blood sugar and nourishing gut health to fueling with healthy fats, proteins, and cycle-specific care. If you’ve ever wondered how to eat in a way that supports your energy, mood, and metabolism at every stage of life, this episode will give you clarity, encouragement, and simple steps you can start today. 👉 Ready to take control of your hormone health?

Hi Listeners!   Supplements can be confusing—some are worth every penny, while others are nothing more than “expensive urine.” In this episode, I share the truth about the supplement industry, including the big red flags to watch out for, why brand quality matters, and how to avoid the common mistakes most people make when shopping for vitamins.  As a former pharmacist turned nutrition coach, I’ve seen both sides—prescriptions that cover up symptoms and natural approaches that address the root cause. Today, I’ll walk you through the supplements I personally use with my family and why some of the most popular products on store shelves might be doing more harm than good. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by all the options, this episode will give you clarity and confidence in choosing supplements that truly serve your health.

Hi Listeners!     Snacking has become a way of life for most of us—but is it actually helping your health, or quietly holding you back? In today’s podcast, we’ll talk about why our bodies were never designed for constant grazing and how the snack industry convinced us we need to eat every few hours. You’ll learn how too many snacks can disrupt your hormones, slow your metabolism, and even feed the wrong bacteria in your gut. I’ll break down what’s really happening with your blood sugar when you reach for “naked carbs” like chips, grapes, or even watermelon, and why those quick bites may leave you hungrier instead of satisfied. Of course, there are times when your body truly needs a snack—and when that happens, I’ll show you how to do it the smart way. You’ll get a list of my go-to, whole-food snack ideas that keep blood sugar steady, support gut health, and give you sustained energy—whether you’re at home, work, at a ball game, or running errands. If you’ve been struggling with low energy, stubborn weight, or constant cravings, this episode will give you the tools to fuel your body intentionally and break free from the snack trap once and for all.

Hi Listeners!  In this episode, we’re diving into a major myth about anemia that could be keeping you exhausted and frustrated. If you've been told to take iron supplements to fix your low energy—but they're not helping—this conversation will open your eyes. I share my journey from what I was taught in pharmacy school to what I’ve now learned through functional and root cause medicine. You’ll discover how iron overload, not deficiency, is often the real problem—and how this contributes to oxidative stress, poor mitochondrial function, and even chronic conditions like PCOS, endometriosis, and insulin resistance. We’ll explore how enzymes, copper, and trace minerals like magnesium play a key role in helping your body use iron properly, and how remineralizing can restore your energy from the inside out. You’ll learn practical tips to support your metabolism, avoid harmful iron sources, and why blood donations might be one of the best things you can do for your health.

Hi Listeners! Is the keto diet the magic solution for weight loss—or is it another trend that leaves women feeling drained, deprived, and imbalanced? In this episode, we’re diving deep into what keto actually is, how it impacts your hormones, gut health, and metabolism, and why not all keto is created equal. From dirty to clean keto, we’ll unpack the marketing hype, the science behind ketosis, and the very real effects these diets can have on your energy, digestion, and long-term health. I also share my personal journey of chasing quick fixes with processed “keto-friendly” foods. We’ll talk about hormone-friendly keto strategies, the dangers of extreme restriction, and why fiber, whole foods, and a cyclical approach may be the key to sustainable success. If you’re a woman trying to make sense of it all, this episode will give you the clarity (and confidence) to nourish your body in a way that works for you. I pray this blesses you!

In this episode, I’m opening up about my own journey from sugar obsession to sweet freedom.

Hi Listeners! In this episode, we’re peeling back the layers on GLP-1—the powerful hormone your body already produces that helps regulate blood sugar, curb cravings, and support weight loss. While drugs like Ozempic have brought GLP-1 into the spotlight, the truth is, your body is not broken—it just needs the right support.  We’ll explore how gut health, protein intake, strength training, sleep, and stress all play a role in naturally optimizing your GLP-1 levels. You’ll also learn why relying solely on medication might set you up for weight regain and muscle loss—and how to avoid that path. Whether you’re currently using a GLP-1 agonist or simply looking for sustainable weight loss strategies, this episode is for you. I share real tools and practices I use with my clients to reduce food noise, improve satiety, and build an amazing metabolism. From the right probiotics to strength training and spiritual mindset work, you’ll walk away with action steps you can take today.  It’s not about willpower—it’s about understanding your body and nourishing it well.

Hi Listeners! Are you constantly tired, craving carbs, and frustrated with stubborn weight that just won’t come off—no matter how healthy you think you're eating? You might be dealing with insulin resistance, and chances are, no one has explained it to you this way before.  In this episode, I share my personal journey from pharmacist to functional medicine advocate, and how I went from thinking insulin resistance only applied to diabetics… to realizing it was one of the hidden forces sabotaging my own health.  We’ll unpack how insulin should work, what happens when your body stops responding to it, and why it completely derails your metabolism, mood, and energy. You’ll learn the top symptoms to watch for, the labs to request, and—most importantly—how to start reversing insulin resistance with practical, real-life changes.
