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

Definitely go check out the episode with Dr. Tabitha.

What if the setback you’re fighting is the very training ground God is using to make you stronger? We invite you into a raw, hope-filled conversation where two of our coaches share how broken wrists unraveled hurry, exposed pride, and opened the door to real freedom. From the first jolt of denial to the awkward daily work of opening jars one-handed, these stories reveal how adversity shifts when you stop asking “how do I control this?” and start asking “how do I trust here?”

We explore the surprising link between spiritual surrender and functional health: stewarding your body like a temple, fueling your mitochondria with quality nutrition, and letting Scripture rewire your stress response. One coach walks us through ditching the scale and the diet mentality that kept her stuck, learning to trust the body God designed. Another offers a simple, life-giving refrain—God already knows—that turned self-pity into steady gratitude. It’s not about perfect conditions; it’s about faithful choices, repeated daily.

You’ll also hear the unexpected origin story of our Coaching Academy—born from obedience, not a business plan—and why intergenerational mentorship changes everything. Partners formed in training became lifelines during crisis, trading shallow cheerleading for prayer, challenge, and practical wisdom. If you’re juggling family, business, and faith, and you’re tired of white-knuckling your way through, this episode is a warm hand on your shoulder and a clear path forward: ask for help, slow down, choose joy, and root yourself in the Word. Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs courage today, and leave a review to help more women find hope and healing.

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.

The Life-Changing Art of Self-Brain Surgery - https://www.netgalley.com/widget/897209/redeem/8bef54f4147ff6d63f2dfe6b94784e67155f495b79ab8b6190a88f48c82ddb68

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.
