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

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.

What if the symptoms you’ve been battling are your body’s way of asking for a different story? We sit down with Shannon—a wife, mom of three, nurse turned functional medicine coach—to trace a path from postpartum autoimmunity and burnout to gut healing, sobriety, and a faith-fueled life that actually works. Her journey starts with a doctor who asked better questions and a decision to believe the process could work. From there, everything shifted: inflammation dropped, brain fog cleared, weight released, and joy came back online.

We unpack why gut health is the master key—how removing inflammatory triggers, treating infections like H. pylori, and restoring minerals can resolve skin flares (including hidradenitis), balance hormones, and steady mood. Shannon shares how quitting alcohol was less about deprivation and more about reclaiming her nervous system, her marriage, and her spiritual clarity. Alcohol is a toxin and a microbiome disruptor; letting it go created space for genuine healing and a clear mind. AA, community, and surrender to God anchored the change and gave her a roadmap that holds during vacations, busy seasons, and life’s mess.

Trauma weaves through this conversation with honesty and care. We explore how the body keeps the score, why fear blocks healing, and how tools like EMDR and somatic work help release stuck patterns. Most of all, we keep it simple: belief plus action beats perfection. Start with hydration, protein, fiber, sleep, and one courageous step—remove the thing you know is hurting you. Our coaching sisterhood brings structure, testing, IV nutrient therapy, and weekly support so you’re never alone. If you’re tired of trying to out-supplement exhaustion, this story will show you a kinder, proven way back to energy, confidence, and faith.

If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs hope, and leave a review to help more women find a path to real healing.

What if the “self-care” you reach for at 5 p.m. is the very thing stealing your sleep, peace, and energy? We dig into why alcohol and sugar feel soothing in the moment yet quietly disrupt dopamine, flatten motivation, inflame anxiety, and throw women’s hormones off balance. Ashlee shares what changed across 17 months alcohol-free—better cycles, calmer mornings, clearer joy—while Tabitha breaks down the functional medicine behind cravings, from microbiome shifts to estrogen clearance and why weekend binges still drive risk.

We don’t stop at science. Shame loses power when brought into the light, and sustainable change comes from pairing spiritual honesty with smart physiology. You’ll learn how to reset dopamine gently, use protein and healthy fats to stabilize blood sugar, and create friction for triggers with mocktails and simple swaps. We talk about why white knuckling fails, how to re-associate weddings, weekends, and summers with real joy, and the line that changed our approach: you can’t pray away a dopamine deficit and you can’t supplement your way out of spiritual avoidance.

If you’re tired of feeling puffy, wired, and stuck, this conversation offers a kinder path: one day at a time, one lever at a time, with community, Scripture, and practical tools that work. Freedom isn’t about restriction; it’s about restoration—body and soul in alignment so cravings finally quiet. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs hope, and leave a review telling us the one habit you’re ready to lay down this week.

Picture three futures: one where you’re heavier and exhausted, one where you’re stuck in the same loop, and one where you feel strong, clear, and connected to God. We walk you to that third path with a plan that ditches shame, respects your biology, and leans into identity and community so your goals finally stick.

We start by naming the trap: resolutions fueled by guilt and raw willpower burn out fast, especially under stress and hormonal swings. Then we reframe health as worship, grounding change in Romans 8:1 and John 15:5. You’ll learn why self-talk matters, how to write a vision that aligns with who you are in Christ, and how to future-gaze with God so daily choices match the woman you’re becoming. We lay out a clear blueprint: track your cycle, plan around energy and cravings, prioritize protein and healthy fats, and use strategic fasting with circadian rhythms to restore energy. No more grind culture. Consistency and tiny wins beat intensity every time.

We also go practical on hormones and labs. From perimenopause to unexpected dips in testosterone, we share real stories, the role of simple testing, and how changing delivery methods can revive mood, focus, and drive. We talk sabotage—overreaching, isolation, Monday-only motivation—and show how sisterhood, accountability, and a deeper why protect your progress. By the end, you’ll have a Christ-centered framework, actionable steps, and the confidence to choose habits that feel doable, joyful, and sustainable.
