Faith Over Pharma | Natural Fertility, Hormones, Holistic Health & Healing

If you’ve ever left a doctor’s office feeling dismissed, overwhelmed, or pushed into a treatment plan that didn’t feel right in your spirit, this episode is for you. Maybe you’ve been handed an infertility label that crushed you, faced a diagnosis that filled you with fear, or felt torn between what a doctor says and what you sense God is saying about your body. In this episode, I’m joined by Kristin Kurtz, founder of New Wings Coaching and host of the Hope Unlocked podcast, whose story weaves together infertility labels, a skin cancer diagnosis, and the supernatural way God led her toward clarity, peace, and healing. Kristin shares how she learned to trust God’s voice over fear-based recommendations, how she navigated doctors who didn’t fully hear her, and how discernment guided every step of her healing journey. If you’ve ever questioned a diagnosis, wanted a more natural path, or longed to hear God clearly in your health decisions, this episode will strengthen your faith and remind you that God has the final word over your body and your future.

If you left the hospital after giving birth feeling anxious, dismissed, or like something deep inside you never fully healed, this episode is for you. Brigid Tebaldi, a Functional Women’s Health Coach and mom of five, joins me to share her story of birth trauma recovery and the healing power of nervous system regulation. We talk about what really happens to your body and mind after a traumatic or medicalized birth, how unprocessed trauma can show up as postpartum anxiety, fatigue, hormone imbalance, or fear of another pregnancy—and why understanding your nervous system is the key to feeling safe again. Together, we explore how our culture’s version of “normal birth” has drifted from God’s design, the difference between medicalized and physiological birth, and how faith-led healing restores peace to your body, mind, and spirit. This conversation is for the mom who’s been told, “At least the baby’s healthy,” but still feels broken inside. Your body isn’t broken, your story isn’t over, and holistic, faith-based healing after birth is absolutely possible.

When your body breaks down and the world tells you to “just trust the system,” what do you do? In this testimony episode, I share a deeply personal chapter of my journey — one that began long before COVID, mandates, or public conversations about medical freedom ever entered our lives. In 2018, while serving in the military and preparing for deployment, I experienced a vaccine injury that sent my health spiraling and left me searching for answers, hope, and healing. What felt at first like a devastating loss of control became the doorway to discernment, faith-strengthening revelation, and a complete shift in how I understood the incredible way God designed the human body to heal. I talk about the months of debilitating symptoms, the fear of speaking up so close to retirement, the night-and-day transformation I experienced as I pursued natural healing, and the unexpected clarity God gave me about trusting Him above institutions, titles, and pressure. This is not a political episode and there is no judgment for anyone who made a different decision in the pandemic. We all navigated an incredibly intense and confusing time, and many felt they had no other choice. My intention is not to divide — but to encourage. To remind you that God prepares His daughters long before we realize we’ll need strength for the journey. To show you what it looked like to stand firm during military vaccine mandates, to choose faith over fear, and to witness God protect and provide in ways only He can. If you have ever questioned your health journey, walked through unexplained symptoms, felt dismissed or unheard in the medical system, or wrestled with fear around making the “right” decision for your body or your family, this conversation will meet you there. This testimony is rooted in compassion, obedience, and the unwavering truth that God did not make a mistake when He created our bodies. They are resilient, intentional, and capable of healing. My hope is that this episode strengthens your discernment, deepens your trust in God's leading, and reminds you that even in moments of uncertainty or pressure, you are never walking alone. God goes before you. He equips you. He heals. And He honors obedience, even when the world doesn’t understand it.   Resources mentioned in this episode: https://justtheinserts.com/ The Vaccine Book by Robert W.

If you’re in your 30s, 40s, or 50s and your body suddenly feels different—your sleep is off, your energy’s tanked, and you can’t figure out why—you’re not alone. For so many women, chronic stress and hormonal changes collide during perimenopause, creating fatigue, anxiety, brain fog, and mood swings that feel impossible to manage. In this faith-filled conversation, Dr. Tanya Paynter and I dig into how cortisol quietly hijacks your hormones and why so many women in midlife are unknowingly running on empty. We talk about what happens when adrenal fatigue, thyroid imbalance, and spiritual exhaustion overlap—and how to begin restoring peace in your body by first restoring it in your spirit. Dr. Paynter explains how God designed our bodies to adapt under pressure, but how long-term stress keeps our nervous system stuck in survival mode, throwing off everything from sleep and energy to estrogen and progesterone balance. We explore the way chronic busyness and burnout affect midlife health, and how creating margin—through prayer, rest, and time with the Lord—can actually help reset your hormones on a cellular level. If you’ve been wondering whether your exhaustion or hormonal chaos is just “part of getting older,” this episode will help you see that healing is absolutely possible. You’ll walk away with a deeper understanding of how faith and functional medicine work together to calm your adrenals, balance cortisol, and bring your body back into alignment with how God designed it to function.

If you’ve been feeling exhausted, foggy, inflamed, or like something’s “off” in your body but every doctor keeps saying your labs look normal, this conversation will hit home. My friend Holly Brauer shares how the Holy Spirit told her to remove her breast implants after 14 years—and how that moment of obedience became the turning point in her healing. We talk about what breast implant illness really looks like, the symptoms most women miss, and what happened when Holly discovered one of her implants had ruptured and was leaking silicone into her body. She opens up about the brain fog, fatigue, and joint pain she lived with for years—and the instant relief and deep peace that came after her explant surgery. If you’ve been praying for answers or wondering how to know if God’s nudging you to make a change, this story will remind you that He didn’t make a mistake when He designed your body. Sometimes healing starts the moment we stop striving, tune into His voice, and finally trust what our body’s been trying to tell us.

You’re eating clean, taking supplements, and tracking your ovulation—so why does your body still feel out of sync? If you’ve been feeling anxious, exhausted, or “wired but tired,” there’s one hormone that could be quietly sabotaging your fertility and energy—and no, it’s not estrogen or progesterone. In this episode, we’re digging into the stress hormone cortisol and how it impacts your cycle, hormones, and ability to conceive. You’ll hear what really happens inside your body when cortisol stays high, why “normal” labs can still leave you feeling off, and how to tell if your nervous system has been running on overdrive for too long. We’ll talk about the surprising everyday habits that spike cortisol (even the “healthy” ones), how to start calming your body’s stress response naturally, and a science-backed tool that’s been helping women restore balance, sleep better, and finally feel like themselves again. If your body’s been screaming for rest but you’ve been too busy pushing through, this episode will help you understand why peace—not pressure—is the missing piece to your healing and fertility journey.

Have you ever done everything “right” — prayed, tracked, tested, changed your diet — and still ended up staring at another negative test? I know that pain all too well. After my husband’s vasectomy reversal, we saw sperm at first… and then watched the numbers drop to zero by the 8-week mark. My heart sank. Doctors told us everything looked “normal” and that fertility treatments were our only option. But deep down, I knew God was asking me to trust Him — to heal my body His way and surrender the timeline. It would take two years before we finally saw that positive test. Two years of tears, questions, and learning to believe that the waiting wasn’t wasted. In this episode, I’m sharing how God met me in that season, restored my faith, and wrote a miracle story in my 40s — one that changed the course of my life and led to my mission behind Faith Over Pharma. I pray this conversation reminds you that even when it feels like nothing’s happening, God is still moving. He’s not withholding. He’s preparing. And if you’re in your own season of waiting — for healing, for a baby, for breakthrough — I created something special to walk with you through it. My 30-day devotional, Faithful in the Wait, launches October 29 on Amazon. It’s filled with scripture, reflection, and encouragement to help you find peace right where you are — even when the outcome hasn’t come yet. Because your story isn’t over. The waiting is where miracles are made.   Next Steps: Order Your Copy of Faithful in the Wait: faithfulinthewait.com Join the Faith Over Pharma movement: susangladstein.substack.com Get Your Healing Roadmap: susangladstein.com Connect on Instagram: @coachsusangladstein Join us in Costa Rica 2026 for the Rooted Reset Retreat: susangladstein.com/retreat

October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, and today’s episode holds sacred space for the women who have walked through that pain — and the friends who want to support them better. My guest, Cate Purvis, is a birth and miscarriage doula, childbirth educator, and author who has walked through sixteen miscarriages and four miracle babies. Through unimaginable loss, Cate discovered that God doesn’t cause our pain — but He never wastes it. In this powerful, faith-filled conversation, Cate shares her story of loss and redemption, how she found peace after years of heartbreak, and the truth that changed everything: “God can take it.” We talk about what it means to grieve honestly with God, how to support someone after miscarriage, and why faith and grief are not opposites. If you’ve ever felt angry at God, questioned His plan, or struggled to understand why loss happens, this episode will remind you that He is still faithful — even in the dark. You’ll hear: How Cate’s sixteen pregnancy losses deepened her faith rather than destroyed it What it looks like to be honest with God in anger, grief, and heartbreak Why “God’s will” is often misunderstood in conversations about miscarriage How to support a friend walking through pregnancy loss or infertility The redemptive hope that comes when we let God turn ashes into beauty This episode is a tender reminder that even when heaven feels silent, God still sees, loves, and redeems.   Connect with Cate: Website: Stan.store/birthandlosscollective Facebook: @thebirthandlosscollective Instagram: @birthandlosscollective TikTok: @birthandlosscollective Book: “Words I Could Not Say: Musings of a Miscarriage Mama” – available on Amazon Next Steps: Join the Faith Over Pharma movement: susangladstein.substack.com Get Your Healing Roadmap: susangladstein.com Connect on Instagram: @coachsusangladstein Get your copy of the Faithful in the Wait Devotional: faithfulinthewait.com Join us in Costa Rica 2026 for the Rooted Reset Retreat: susangladstein.com/retreat

They said it would be simple. A quick, harmless procedure. A way to take control — to make life easier. But no one warned them about the true cost. When Holly Sears’ husband chose a vasectomy against her will, it didn’t just affect his body — it broke their marriage.  In this powerful testimony, Holly opens up about the emotional and spiritual toll that followed, and the God who stepped in to heal what the world said was permanent. If you’ve ever believed the lie that permanent birth control is “no big deal,” this episode will make you pause. Because behind every “simple solution” is a story the world doesn’t tell — one of regret, heartbreak, and, in Holly’s case, redemption through God’s grace.

Most of us grew up learning what a period is… but not why it happens. We were told a “normal” cycle is 28 days and ovulation always happens on day 14 — but that’s simply not true for most women. In this episode, I’m breaking down how to truly understand your menstrual cycle and what your body is communicating in every phase — from your period to ovulation and everything in between. You’ll learn how to recognize the signs your hormones need support, what’s considered healthy variation, and why stress, thyroid health, and lifestyle shifts can change your cycle (and that’s not always a bad thing!). We’ll also talk about how men’s hormones follow a 24-hour rhythm — while ours ebb and flow over roughly 28 days — and why that means you were never meant to show up the same way every day. You’ll walk away understanding: What a truly normal menstrual cycle looks like (and why it’s not one-size-fits-all) The four hormonal “seasons” — menstrual, follicular, ovulatory, and luteal — and how to support your body in each The surprising connection between stress and delayed ovulation How thyroid disorders, PCOS, and hypothalamic amenorrhea show up in your cycle Foods, movement, and mindset shifts to balance hormones naturally Why tracking your cycle is one of the most powerful tools for healing If you’ve ever wondered why your energy, mood, and motivation change week to week, or why you feel different from the men around you — this episode will help you finally understand your rhythm and start honoring it instead of fighting it.   Next Steps Join the Faith Over Pharma movement: susangladstein.substack.com   Get Your Healing Roadmap: susangladstein.com Connect on Instagram: @coachsusangladstein Join us in Costa Rica 2026 for the Rooted Reset Retreat: susangladstein.com/retreat

Do you ever feel stuck in survival mode—constantly stressed, exhausted, or carrying pain that no doctor can explain? In this powerful episode, I sit down with Melissa Armstrong, a Trauma & Nervous System Coach who knows firsthand what it’s like to live under the weight of trauma. Melissa’s story takes us from childhood marked by addiction and abuse, to surviving a school shooting at 15, to witnessing her brother’s tragic death at 18. Those unresolved traumas manifested as severe physical symptoms—until she discovered the power of the mind-body connection, somatic healing, and nervous system repair. Together we unpack: How unresolved trauma shows up as fatigue, anxiety, and chronic pain Practical ways to regulate your nervous system and release what’s stored in the body The role of somatic healing practices in moving beyond survival mode Why healing is always possible—no matter your past, diagnosis, or story How faith and God’s design give us hope for full restoration If you’re ready to step out of survival mode and into lasting wholeness, this conversation will give you both the hope and the tools to begin your healing journey.

You’ve been told that exhaustion, mood swings, and feeling “off” are just part of motherhood. But what if burnout isn’t normal—and what if the answers go deeper than another prescription or quick-fix plan? In this episode, I’m joined by Regina Steele, certified integrative health coach, speaker, and mom of three, who turned her own health breakdown into a mission to help other moms heal.
