Fast to Faith: Healing God's Way

Ozempic. Semaglutide. GLP-1s. Everyone's talking about them — but nobody's telling you the whole truth. Dr. Tabatha sits down with functional medicine physician Dr. Rajka to break down what peptides actually are, who should be on GLP-1s, and what happens when you stop. 
What a peptide actually is — in plain English
How your body makes over 7,000 peptides and what happens as they decline
GLP-1s explained: how they work, who they're for, who they're not for
The shocking muscle loss stats nobody tells you before you start
Why gut health determines how well GLP-1s work — and your side effects
The difference between semaglutide, tirzepatide, and what's coming next
How to come off GLP-1s without rebounding
Microdosing for inflammation, brain health, and heart protection
Why postmenopausal women lose less weight on GLP-1s without hormones
Toxins stored in fat cells — and why they block weight loss
Metabo Lift: the natural herbal supplement that boosts your body's own GLP-1 by 55%

If your hormones feel like a mystery and your doctor keeps adjusting your dose without results — this episode changes the way you see your body.
Dr. Tabatha and Ashlee go inside the HealthieHer program and break down why so many women arrive after years of treatment still feeling terrible. The answer? The root cause was never addressed — and the order in which you heal matters more than anything else.
They cover the GI Map, Dutch Plus, zonulin, leaky gut, IgA, food sensitivities, and cortisol — and why none of it works unless you treat the whole woman.
This is root-cause medicine the way God designed it.
In this episode:
"Cowboy medicine" hormone prescribing — and why it's failing women
The GI Map: what DNA testing finds that a standard stool test misses
Leaky gut, zonulin, and the 3 barriers that protect (and break down)
Why H. pylori breath tests give false negatives
IgA: the immune layer COVID depleted in millions
Omega-6s and why your food is warping your hormone receptors
The Dutch Plus cortisol test and your 24-hour pattern
Stress, belly fat, blood sugar, and earlier menopause
Lectio Divina: the best nervous system reset Dr. Tabatha knows

We sit down with Brooke Thomas to talk about diagnoses, informed choices, and the moment God corrected the words she was speaking over her body. We trace how fasting, discipline, and spiritual alignment reshape health outcomes and restore courage when fear tries to write your story.
• being pressured by doctors and learning to pause for informed consent
• melanoma during pregnancy and the long shadow of fearful medical predictions
• how speaking death fuels anxiety and how speaking life changes decisions
• denial, bitterness, and the cost of ignoring what needs to be healed
• facing worst-case surgical warnings and protecting identity and calling
• using a four-day water fast to seek clarity and a new path forward
• “spirit of death” language and refusing to partner with defeat
• what you consume shaping belief through media, community, and inputs
