We get to chat with Naomi Compton, RN, Certified Christian Health Coach and Functional Nutrition Advocate.
This episode explores the powerful connection between faith and food. Naomi talks about how she teaches that eating can be an act of worship, aligning with scriptures which call believers to mindfulness and holistic devotion to God. She highlights how gratitude scientifically enhances digestion and draws parallels to biblical principles and showing that what we consume and how we approach it spiritually matters.
Naomi discusses how changing our mindset about food restores power to God's original design for nourishment. She challenges listeners to shift from making excuses about their eating habits to owning their decisions, pointing out the biblical significance of food-related temptations.
Naomi concludes with her “Prescription for the Heart” from 1 Corinthians 10:31: “So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.” She stresses that aligning health with faith is not about achieving perfection, but about finding freedom through alignment with God’s design.
We are excited to give voice to her faith and knowledge!!
Hear more from Naomi on the launch of S.O.A.P.Box Sessions with Nurse Nay, a new segment diving deeper into functional nutrition, faith-health alignment, and candid discussions about today’s healthcare challenges.

Prescriptions for the Heart 🤍
Picking up where we left off last fall & sorting out how to "show up" for your people.
Asking not what you can do for your person but rather stating what you'll do - if and when they're ready.
Asking if they want to talk about it, solutions or distractions?
Showing up in unique ways. Erica and Lizette share their experiences on how their friends showed up for them in recent times and in unique ways.
L: look at them; Be present
O: open up to their pain; ask questions about what they're going through
V: validate their experience
E: express your love
Remember there are people who show up for you because of what you mean to them...there are people who don't show up for you because of what you mean to them.
Share your word of the year!! Erica’s is hope & Lizette’s word is stewardship. Tell us what it is and what it means to you.
Closing this first episode of 2025 by thanking all of those special people that have shown up for us in 2024!!

The Nightingale (book club party of ✌🏼)
In life's journey, our most profound struggles often pave the way for our greatest victories. What seems like insurmountable pain or hardship can transform into a powerful testimony of resilience and faith. Each challenge or loss we endure is an opportunity for growth, and through God's grace, our stories can and will inspire others facing similar trials.
On this episode, Erica walks us through her journey of love and grief for her late husband, Jason. Her description of Jason's brave battle with Glioblastoma and their inspiring love story is a beautiful testament that love is real and can endure all things.

Erica and Lizette are excited to speak with Dr. Elizabeth Hughes this week. As a board certified dermatologist, Dr. Hughes provides insight on how to properly care for your skin whether it's with a quick 2-minute daily routine or with a chemical peel. She explains that not everything is for everyBODY & we couldn't agree more. Skin care is really individualized and can be more about what you put into your body than what you put on it.
Dr. Hughes also helps us identify when it's clinically appropriate to consult a dermatologist and why advanced aesthetics should be centered around setting realistic expectations with the right healthcare provider - someone that you know and trust.
A great interview with one of the smartest women we know and at one of the coolest office spaces we've ever been to. Located at 6712 N New Braunfels Ave, San Antonio, Texas - Hughes Clinic and staff (plus her doctor dog, Roscoe), help provide an excellent and personalized experience. With over 16 years of experience in medical, surgical, pediatric and adult dermatological care, Dr. Hughes also offers laser treatments, medical grade chemical peels & advanced aesthetics. The girls hope to educate you on the best skin care techniques and how to find what is best for you and your skin.
