Waterbreak

Hormones aren’t “just part of getting older.” They shape your mood, your marriage, your metabolism, your muscle, your memory — even your sense of self. In this episode of Water Break, Gabriel and Annie sit down with triple board-certified OB/GYN Dr. Tabitha Barber for a no-nonsense masterclass on women’s hormones. Why are so many women exhausted, anxious, foggy, and gaining weight? What’s really happening in perimenopause? Is testosterone just for men? And did the Women’s Health Initiative mislead an entire generation about hormone replacement? If you’ve ever felt like a shell of yourself, this conversation will help you understand why — and what you can actually do about it.   Follow Dr. Tabatha: https://drtabatha.com/ https://www.instagram.com/gutsydrtabatha   Check out Annie's website! https://annierench.com/ https://www.instagram.com/anniemrench/   Gabe Rench https://x.com/GMRench   Follow Waterbreak at: https://www.instagram.com/waterbreaktv/ https://www.facebook.com/WaterbreakTV/ https://www.waterbreak.tv/   If you have any questions or thoughts that you’d like to share, reach out at RenchMedia@gmail.com

Fasting. It's a huge trend in our culture. Eat less= weigh less. It's a quick, easy way to lose weight.   But what if it's not? What if your stubborn weight is the result of years of undereating? In this episode of Waterbreak, Gabe and Annie break down why aggressive fasting is a bad strategy for most women — especially moms who are underrested, overstressed, under-muscled, and metabolically burned out. If you’re stuck, exhausted, resistant to weight loss, and tempted to just “eat less,” this episode will challenge your paradigm and give you a better path forward.   Check out Annie's website! https://annierench.com/ https://www.instagram.com/anniemrench/   Gabe Rench https://x.com/GMRench   Follow Waterbreak at: https://www.instagram.com/waterbreaktv/ https://www.facebook.com/WaterbreakTV/ https://www.waterbreak.tv/     If you have any questions or thoughts that you’d like to share, reach out at RenchMedia@gmail.com

Does God care what you eat?   In this episode of Water Break, Gabriel and Annie sit down with Andy Felton, author of Nourished by Design, to explore a deeply theological approach to nutrition. Is the Bible a diet manual? Should Christians follow “biblical diets”? How do we think about seed oils, sugar, carnivore, keto, and modern food systems without becoming food Pharisees? This conversation blends Scripture, science, and common sense — and challenges believers to rethink food, embodiment, and flourishing through a Christ-centered lens.   Andy Felton:  https://nourishedbydesignbook.com/   Check out Annie's website! https://annierench.com/ https://www.instagram.com/anniemrench/   Gabe Rench https://x.com/GMRench   Follow Waterbreak at: https://www.instagram.com/waterbreaktv/ https://www.facebook.com/WaterbreakTV/ https://www.waterbreak.tv/   If you have any questions or thoughts that you’d like to share, reach out at RenchMedia@gmail.com
