Fast to Faith: Weight Loss & Hormone Support for Women Over 35

We reframe Lent fasting as a path to peace, healing, and deeper connection with God, pairing women-centered physiology with scripture and community. We share a four-phase approach, real testimonies, and why Lectio Divina turns quiet time into lasting change.

• redefining fasting as making room for God
• Lent as a 40-day container for renewal
• women-specific fasting and phased fat adaptation
• insulin resistance, cravings, and metabolic flexibility
• autophagy for cellular repair and mitochondrial health
• gut healing, reduced inflammation, and better sleep
• Lectio Divina to renew the mind and calm the nervous system
• sisterhood, weekly coaching, and sustainable habits
• testimonies on lasting weight loss, joy, and freedom
• invitation to join the Lent cohort with flexible start

“Join us for Fast of Faith for Lent. We start on 2/18. If you’re listening after 2/18, there is still time to join us. It is not too late.”

If you’re ready to stop trying harder and start healing smarter, your first step is Empowered by Faith — the 5-Day Reset.

This self-paced experience will help you regulate your nervous system, stabilize your metabolism, and realign your identity in Christ through simple, faith-centered rhythms.

This is where women begin.

What if most of your automatic thoughts aren’t true—and your body pays the price when you believe them? We sit down with Dr. Lee Warren, W. Lee Warren, MD, is a neurosurgeon, an award-winning author, an Iraq War veteran, and the host of The Dr. Lee Warren Podcast. He teaches the art of connecting neuroscience, faith, and daily practices for leading a healthier, better, and happier life.

SELF-BRAIN SURGERY MIGHT JUST SAVE YOUR LIFE - https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5bd26c48b2cf79b5897a6c45/t/68b701504975283eb3c60afb/1756823889694/Press+Kit+-+The+Life+Changing+Art+of+Self-Brain+Surgery.pdf

Through a vivid fMRI moment and hard-won personal story, he shows how a single choice of thought can alter brain activity, shift physiology, and open a path out of anxiety, grief, and chronic stress.

We unpack the difference between emotions and feelings, and why your heart racing can signal fear or excitement depending on the story you attach to it. Dr. Warren explains neuroplasticity in plain language—neurons that fire together wire together—and how rumination keeps cortisol high, sleep poor, and pain persistent. You’ll learn his “thought biopsy” method to test whether a thought is true before letting it run your day, plus how to move decisions from the amygdala’s fight-or-flight to the frontal lobes where wisdom lives. We also dig into patterns behind migraines and avoidance loops, and how reframing, gratitude, and scripture-backed replacements can transform relationships—starting with a powerful marriage turnaround story.

If you’ve felt stuck, spiritually numb, or trapped by old patterns, this conversation offers a practical, hopeful plan: notice, pause, and rewire with truth. Dr. Warren shares three steps you can start today to separate mind from brain, reclaim agency, and build healthier defaults that feel like peace. His new book, The Life-Changing Art of Self-Brain Surgery, lands on February 3 with tools, stories, and science to help you renew your mind and restore your life.

Tired of doing “everything right” and still feeling inflamed, foggy, and out of sync with your body? We dig into a clear, faith-forward plan to restore energy, steady hormones, and heal the gut using targeted, physician-grade supplements and practical daily habits. No fads. No hype. Just clean science, smart dosing, and tools you can actually stick with.

We start by reframing the problem: modern food and stress deplete minerals, overwhelm the liver, and skew our fat balance. That’s why stacked support works best. We unpack Hormone Tame as a five-in-one: activated B vitamins for methylation, mitochondrial nutrients for energy, and polyphenols that help metabolize estrogen so periods calm and mood steadies. Then we tackle the omega equation—why seed oils drive inflammation and how a high-purity omega-3, plus magnesium, can flip the script on aches, sleep, and resilience.

From there, we build your gut plan. A medical-food style protein with L-glutamine soothes IBS and feeds the lining. Digestive Lift adds enzymes, gentle acid, and ox bile to prevent bloat and help you handle healthy fats. For microbiome balance, Biome Lift stabilizes daily while Spore Lift acts like a bouncer when SIBO or post-travel trouble hits. We also introduce a fiber you won’t fear: a diverse prebiotic blend that increases short-chain fatty acids, nudges Akkermansia for metabolic health, and naturally boosts GLP-1 to curb cravings.

Detox gets a reset with a true 3-2-1 approach—opening phase 3 and 2 before phase 1 so toxins exit rather than recirculate. Expect less bloat, brighter skin, and steadier energy when you rotate this seasonally and keep daily support with Slim Lift. If you’re stepping down from GLP-1 meds or want a stimulant-free metabolism boost, MetaboLift pairs GLP-1 support with AMPK activation to quiet “food noise” and raise your burn without wrecking appetite or sleep.

This is how faith, functional medicine, and simple choices meet: whole foods, better fats, prayer, rest, and supplements that respect how the body actually works. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs hope, and leave a review to help more women find real healing.

Ever feel like your supplement cabinet is full but your energy is still empty? We take you behind the label to show exactly why some products change lives and others change nothing. With Emily from Orthomolecular, we unpack the real markers of quality—verified sourcing, GMP manufacturing, third-party testing, and forms your cells can actually use—so you stop guessing and start feeling a difference.

We start with the fish oil you love to hate. If your softgels smell rancid, cause burps, or require a handful to hit a therapeutic dose, you’re not imagining it. Source, processing, and form separate effective EPA/DHA from junk. Then we tackle magnesium: oxide and citrate may keep you regular, but chelated bisglycinate supports sleep, mood, heart rhythm, and muscle calm because it gets inside cells. We also talk about the digestion piece too many overlook—low stomach acid from stress or long-term PPIs can block absorption, turning even good formulas into expensive decorations.

From there, we map the essentials most women need: vitamin D3 with K2 to protect bones and arteries, omega-3s to dial down inflammation, and an advanced multivitamin with activated B vitamins for energy, methylation, and hormone metabolism. On gut health, we share why a multi-strain, shelf-stable probiotic can be a smart daily “maintenance” choice, and how Saccharomyces boulardii acts like a cleanup crew for the GI tract, helping maintain barrier integrity and support immunity.

If you’re ready to simplify, we explain how to audit your cabinet, check forms and doses, toss expired or ineffective products, and consolidate into a lean, therapeutic stack that works. No hype—just practical steps, clear explanations, and products designed to meet label claims and clinical standards.

Feeling “stuck” isn’t a character flaw—it’s your nervous system doing its job a little too well. We dive into how trauma is stored as a state rather than a tidy story, why the brain chooses survival and comfort over growth, and what it takes to move from PTSD to post-traumatic growth. With Dr. Russ Irwin, we map the biology of triggers, the vertical stacking of subcortical memories, and the moment when feelings harden into identity. Then we step into the hope: how identity is restored, how the mind renews through neuroplasticity, and how faith reframes safety, worth, and purpose.

We get practical. You’ll learn how to spot survival dominance in real time, why talk-only approaches often miss the mark, and how to use body-based regulation to quiet the limbic system before you try to think your way out. We talk identity foreclosure—when “what happened to me” turns into “who I am”—and how to replace that story with one rooted in value and belonging. Confirmation bias gets a spotlight too: the way our brains filter out good news becomes clear, and we share how to turn the light switch into a dimmer so hope can get in.

Across the conversation, Dr. Russ weaves deep clinical insight with a faith-forward lens. We explore gratitude’s tangible health benefits, from telomeres to immunoglobulin A, and reveal a step-by-step path: name the state, regulate first, reframe the meaning, rehearse the new pathway, and anchor it with action. If you’ve felt trapped by old patterns, this is a compassionate roadmap to rewire your mind, reclaim your identity, and step into your calling.

If this resonated, share it with someone who needs hope today, subscribe for more conversations like this, and leave a review to help others find the show. Your story isn’t over—and you don’t have to walk it alone.
