I had the absolute honor of sitting down with one of my former clients, Melissa Long. Melissa’s story is nothing short of miraculous. Diagnosed with stage four kidney cancer at a young age, she has walked through some of the deepest valleys from the physical toll of cancer treatments to the hidden complications from breast implants. But Melissa’s journey didn’t stop at survival. She shares how discovering functional medicine completely transformed her approach to healing and ultimately led her to become a practitioner herself. We dive into the lifestyle and diet shifts that played a crucial role in her recovery, her journey through motherhood (including her miracle pregnancies), and the ongoing challenges she’s faced with such grace and strength.
What inspired me most was hearing how Melissa leaned into her faith throughout it all — how her mindset, trust in God, and commitment to radiance and resilience carried her through the hardest seasons. This conversation is a beautiful reminder that healing is not just about the body. It’s about our spirit, our thoughts, and the blessings we choose to focus on even in the hardest moments. If you’re navigating a health challenge or just need a dose of hope and inspiration, you don’t want to miss this one.

In sharing my birth story, I hope to convey the depth and beauty of this journey toward a supernatural birth. I desired a natural, unmedicated home birth—a vision inspired by the experiences of other courageous women and the wisdom in Jackie Mize's book, "Supernatural Childbirth". I truly believed that with faith, prayer, and mental resilience, this birth could be a powerful, sacred experience. As labor unfolded, I encountered challenges I hadn’t expected. Each moment of difficulty became an invitation to lean deeper into faith, trust God’s timing, and surrender the outcome. This experience transformed me profoundly, teaching me to release control to embrace the mystery and beauty of birth. The journey wasn’t easy, but it was a powerful reminder of the strength within and the grace that surrounds us when we allow ourselves to truly let go.

In this episode, I open up about the complexities of due dates and how, in Western medicine, they’re often treated as a one-size-fits-all timeline. From personal experience and working with so many women, our bodies don’t always follow that textbook model. Every woman’s cycle is different, and many ovulate on different days, which can shift the timing of conception—and ultimately, the true due date. I’ve also seen how the pressure to deliver by the estimated due date can weigh on us, often leading to unnecessary interventions like induction, which can come with their own risks. That’s why I believe in the power of knowing your body, tracking your ovulation, and understanding your unique rhythm. When we trust our bodies and surrender to the natural process of childbirth, we allow ourselves to embrace the miracle of birth in God’s perfect timing.I share my heart and offer encouragement to every woman navigating pregnancy, urging you to work with practitioners who honor a holistic approach. Most importantly, trust the beautiful design of your body and the timing God has in store for you.

I share how human design has been a powerful tool for healing and self-discovery in my life and with my clients. I know there's controversy around human design and Christianity, but I always prioritize discernment and keeping God first. For me, human design is simply an energetic blueprint that helps reveal our unique purpose, strengths, weaknesses, and gifts—helping us align more deeply with who God created us to be. I’ve seen this help clients break free from old patterns and resolve their health issues, such as gut inflammation and fatigue. My hope is to encourage you to seek God’s will and embrace your worthiness as His beloved child.

Food has always been more than just sustenance—it’s a gift from God, meant to nourish our bodies, which are temples of the Holy Spirit. I’ve come to see how the enemy uses food as a weapon to distract and tempt us, pulling us away from God’s best for us. The processed and genetically modified foods pushed by the food industry are not just unhealthy; they weaken us physically, mentally, and spiritually. I’ve wrestled with this myself, realizing how easily food can become a crutch or coping mechanism when we’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or lost. But God calls us to something greater. In this episode, I’ll share my heart and personal insights on how we can break free from the enemy’s traps and reclaim our health by nourishing our bodies with whole, organic, and high-quality foods. Let’s explore together how we can shift our mindset and approach food with purpose, seeing it not just as fuel but as a sacred part of our journey with God.

On my journey as a functional medicine practitioner, I’ve done a lot of work on myself, always seeking healing and wholeness. But along the way, I’ve come to realize something deeply profound: while I can guide, support, and offer treatments, God is the true Great Physician, the ultimate healer of our bodies and souls. Even though God created plants and natural remedies for healing, we will still face ailments and struggles. I’ve experienced this firsthand with my own battle with migraines. I sought answers from multiple doctors, tried countless treatments, and did everything I could to find relief, yet nothing seemed to bring full healing. It wasn’t until I turned my heart to God, seeking His guidance and surrendering fully to His will, that I found peace. Through this journey, I learned that true healing comes from seeking God first, experiencing His profound love, and extending that love to others. When we place our trust in God, we open ourselves to the greatest healing—one that touches every part of who we are.

I open up about my perspective on ADD and ADHD and challenge the idea that these labels define who we are. I truly believe that difficulty focusing is not a fixed identity or diagnosis, but something that can be influenced by various factors such as how aligned we are with our true selves and the fears that might be holding us back. I encourage you to take a moment to tune in and reflect—are you struggling with focus because you're out of sync with your purpose? Is fear perhaps playing a role in keeping you distracted? Remember, having difficulty focusing is not a disorder or a flaw. It's a gentle nudge from within, inviting you to explore and address the deeper emotions and beliefs that may be at play. I'm here with you on this journey, and together, we can start to see these challenges as opportunities for growth and healing.
"Maybe it's because we are not in alignment with who we are and how we were created."
"It's not because you have a disorder. It's because it is your cue to tune in, to check in."
