Click to Text Thoughts on Today's EpisodeWhat does it look like to navigate mental health struggles while living out your faith?It's a question many of us carry—sometimes silently. And it's one I was honored to explore in this week's conversation with Carla Arges.Carla's story isn't neat or easy. She experienced childhood trauma, homelessness at 14, misdiagnoses for years, and eventually received an accurate diagnosis of bipolar disorder and borderline personality disorder just six years ago.But here's what moved me most: Carla talks about thriving, not just surviving. And she does it in a way that's gentle, honest, and deeply rooted in partnership with the Holy Spirit.Carla Arges is a mental health coach, podcaster, and writer who helps Christian women navigate trauma and mental illness with grace and truth. After experiencing childhood trauma, homelessness, and a journey through misdiagnoses, Carla was accurately diagnosed with bipolar disorder and borderline personality disorder six years ago. Through partnering with the Holy Spirit, therapy, medication, and holistic healing practices, she has moved from surviving to thriving—and now equips other women to do the same.Carla is the host of the Affirming Truth podcast and a content writer for the Bible app, where she creates bite-sized, accessible devotionals for women struggling with mental health. She offers courses on nervous system regulation and biblically based boundaries, and provides one-on-one coaching to help women integrate faith, healing, and practical tools for everyday thriving.In our conversation, you'll hear:Why a diagnosis is information, not identityThe role of medication and therapy in faith-based healingHow to regulate your nervous system in practical waysWhy thriving isn't about living on the mountaintop all the timeHow God doesn't waste our pain—He redeems it for purposeConnect with Carla:Website: carlaArges.comPodcast: Affirming Truth (available on all podcast platforms and YouTube)Bible App: Search for plans by Carla ArgesLearn More about Moving Forward TogetherApply by January 23 My latest recommended ways to nourish and move your body, mind and spirit: Nourished Notes Bi-Weekly Newsletter Be Strong and Vibrant!

Not just one day, but today. We are seated with Him in a place of protection, help, and assurance. He is with us always, even right now, and with Him comes omnipotence and glory. We are saved, secured, and safe.It is only from this seat that we can truly walk. And I don't mean just get up and start walking. I mean that what is true spiritually remains true: you are seated with Christ, even as you walk. The walk reflects the relationship. It is not an effort to validate what Christ did or to pay Him back. It is not a debt owed. It is a life of hope in Him.The devil will attack. He will try to ruin our confidence. But he is a loser. He has lost. We are on Mount Zion; he is in the valley of despair. We have the high ground in Jesus Christ, and the power of Christ to hold that ground.Sequence is crucial. You cannot stand if you are not seated, nor walk. Begin with Christ, pray about what is true, find joy in who you are in Him and who He is for you. And walk with life and stand with strength—His strength.

Heart disease is still the leading cause of death — yet many people with “normal” cholesterol and calcium scores suffer heart attacks every year. Why?In this episode of the Vibrant Wellness Podcast, Dr. Alex Carrasco sits down with cardiologist Dr. Abid Husain to explore how cardiovascular risk is far more complex than a single lab value. They discuss why LDL alone doesn't tell the full story, how inflammation and plaque instability drive heart attacks, and how advanced lab testing and imaging can detect risk earlier than traditional methods. This episode is essential for anyone interested in early detection, personalized prevention, and modern cardiovascular care.

Click to Text Thoughts on Today's EpisodeOur episode today explores how the same physical activity can serve completely different purposes depending on your intention behind it. We challenge the wellness industry's constant pressure to "go harder" and achieve maximum intensity every single day, suggesting it's time to release that mentality. Instead, let's go after a grace-based approach rooted in freedom rather than legalism. We are wired for freedom by God!By pre-deciding your intention before exercise—whether that's challenging your cardiovascular system, gently moving for mental health, building strength, or simply clearing your head—you can stay focused on what you truly need rather than falling into comparison or guilt. The key is being honest with yourself about what you need while giving yourself permission to adjust when necessary, recognizing that backing off isn't failure—it's listening to your body with wisdom and discernment.Main points discussed:1. Macro Why vs. Micro Why2. Examples of Micro Whys 3. Saying Goodbye to "Go Harder" 4. Freedom Through Grace (Drawing from Galatians 5:1)5. Examples of Micro Whys 6.

Send us a textIn this episode (339), we examine Hebrews 5: 11–6: 3, where the author pauses his teaching on Christ's high priesthood to deliver a loving rebuke: the believers have become "dull of hearing" from spiritual laziness and comfort, still needing milk when they should be on solid food and teaching others. Exploring what true discipleship means—entering the School of Christ, total surrender, making disciples, and living for Him—we're challenged to leave elementary foundations behind, grow in grace, excel still more, and pursue maturity through discipline, applying God's living Word, and fellowship.

Hot flashes, brain fog, anxious nights, and a doctor telling you it's “just stress” can make you feel powerless. We start the year by taking that power back. I sit down with Dr. Sarah Doyle—doctor of physical therapy and functional medicine practitioner—to map the real mechanics of midlife: how estrogen fuels brain energy and vessel health, why progesterone calms the nervous system, and how chronic stress diverts raw materials away from the hormones that stabilize mood, sleep, libido, and cognition.We dig into the surprising overlap between postpartum and perimenopause—both are hormone crashes that scramble serotonin, GABA, and dopamine. You'll hear why ignoring “small” clues like night sweats, frozen shoulder, recurrent UTIs, or new-onset anxiety can snowball into bigger issues if you don't address root causes. Dr. Doyle breaks down adrenals and cortisol in plain language, showing how fight-or-flight can stall sex hormone production, raise cardiovascular risk, and accelerate musculoskeletal pain. We also talk candidly about racial disparities in symptom duration, the genitourinary syndrome of menopause, and the life-changing role of local estrogen for tissue health and comfort.BioDr. Sarah Doyle is a former ICU physical therapist turned Functional Medicine clinician and Diplomate of the American Clinical Board of Nutrition who specializes in hormone optimization and disease prevention through evidence-based nutrition. After years of publishing research, writing bestselling books (The THIN Formula and 7X Method), co-founding HealWell Regenerative Institute at the prestigious Carillon Wellness Resort, and working as a performance physiotherapist for artists like Shakira and The Weeknd, Dr. Doyle identified a major gap in women's hormone care—especially during perimenopause and menopause. She created her new menopause supplement to be as strong as HRT under the Vita-Fem brand: a potent, all-natural, research-backed daily stick pack designed to reduce brain fog, balance hormones, and improve compliance by dissolving easily in water. Proven through before-and-after testing and published case studies, this innovative formula reflects Dr. Doyle's mission to help millions of women thrive through their “second puberty” and beyond—without reliance on pharmaceuticals. 15 min.

Change the script, change the result. We dive into a grounded, grace-filled approach to midlife weight loss that rejects crash diets and embraces sustainable transformation through faith, neuroscience, and simple daily habits. With Dr. Lorette, a cognitive behavioral therapist and minister, we explore how thoughts shape beliefs, beliefs drive feelings, and feelings steer actions—so if you want new outcomes, start where your self-talk begins.You'll learn the Five Dailies—pray and plan, water, move, journal, sleep—and why starting with just one habit today beats chasing the perfect plan tomorrow. We walk through a quick craving reset that blends bilateral stimulation with a spoken boundary scripture to quiet the urge in seconds and rewire desire over time. Instead of muscling through temptation, you'll feel the power shift as your words anchor a healthier identity and your brain follows suit.We also unpack the role of self-love as a structural pillar for health, offering practical ways to replace harsh inner narratives with truth you can speak and embody. You'll hear simple meditation strategies that reduce stress and cortisol in minutes, plus a hands-on method for “casting down” toxic thoughts to accelerate neuroplastic change.

Story Transcript:Da: Freja skubbede sine hænder dybt ned i lommen på sin blå vinterjakke.En: Freja pushed her hands deep into the pockets of her blue winter jacket.Da: Kulden strammede om hendes kinder, mens hun gik langs Nyhavn.En: The cold tightened around her cheeks as she walked along Nyhavn.Da: Farverige huse lå side om side langs kanalen, og dampen fra de varme drikke steg op fra folks kopper på caféerne.En: Colorful houses stood side by side along the canal, and steam from hot drinks rose from people's cups at the cafes.Da: Ved skøjtebanen var der en summende livlig stemning.En: At the skating rink, there was a buzzing lively atmosphere.Da: Freja stoppede op et øjeblik, betaget af lysene, der glimtede på isen, og latteren fra de glade skøjteløbere.En: Freja stopped for a moment, captivated by the lights shimmering on the ice and the laughter of the happy skaters.Da: Hun havde ikke været her i årevis, men der var noget specielt ved stedet, der fik hende til at smile.En: She hadn't been here in years, but there was something special about the place that made her smile.Da: Mikkel kom pludselig til syne, letgenkendelig med sin grå hue og praktiske frakke.En: Mikkel suddenly appeared, easily recognizable with his gray cap and practical coat.Da: Han bevægede sig elegant som en danser på isen.En: He moved gracefully like a dancer on the ice.Da: Freja følte en varm bølge af nostalgi ramme hende.En: Freja felt a warm wave of nostalgia hit her.Da: De havde været så tætte engang, og hun havde altid ønsket at tale om deres fortid.En: They had been so close once, and she had always wanted to talk about their past.Da: Ved siden af Mikkel skøjtede Astrid.En: Next to Mikkel, Astrid skated.Da: Hun var klædt i en farverig uldfrakke, som om hun bar på regnbuens nuancer selv i vintermørket.En: She was dressed in a colorful wool coat, as if she carried the hues of the rainbow even in the winter darkness.Da: Hun lo højt, uvidende om den interessante dynamik mellem de to gamle venner.En: She laughed loudly, unaware of the interesting dynamic between the two old friends.Da: Freja besluttede sig.En: Freja made up her mind.Da: Hun måtte finde modet.En: She had to find the courage.Da: Hun vinkede til dem fra kanten af rinken.En: She waved to them from the edge of the rink.Da: Mikkel opdagede hende først og sendte hende et varmt smil.En: Mikkel noticed her first and sent her a warm smile.Da: Astrid vinkede entusiastisk og skøjtede hen mod hende.En: Astrid waved enthusiastically and skated over to her.Da: "Freja!En: "Freja!Da: Det er længe siden!"En: It's been a long time!"Da: råbte Astrid med sin karakteristiske glæde.En: shouted Astrid with her characteristic joy.Da: "Ja," svarede Freja.En: "Yes," replied Freja.Da: "Jeg tænkte, vi kunne få en kop varm kakao sammen.En: "I thought we could have a cup of hot cocoa together.Da: Vi kunne tale lidt og varme os op."En: We could chat a bit and warm up."Da: De satte sig ved et hyggeligt bord tæt på rinken.En: They sat at a cozy table close to the rink.Da: Det dampede fra kopperne, og duften af varm chokolade fyldte luften.En: Steam rose from the cups, and the scent of hot chocolate filled the air.Da: Freja fandt et roligt øjeblik og vendte sig mod Mikkel.En: Freja found a quiet moment and turned to Mikkel.Da: "Kan vi snakke...En: "Can we talk...Da: alene?"En: alone?"Da: spurgte hun forsigtigt.En: she asked cautiously.Da: Mikkel nikkede forstående.En: Mikkel nodded understandingly.Da: De gik en kort tur langs kanalen, hvor de kunne tale uforstyrret.En: They took a short walk along the canal, where they could talk undisturbed.Da: Freja tog en dyb indånding.En: Freja took a deep breath.Da: "Jeg har tænkt så meget på vores sidste møde," begyndte hun.En: "I've thought so much about our last meeting," she began.Da: "Jeg føler, vi har noget uafklaret imellem os."En: "I feel we have something unresolved between us."Da: Mikkel tøvede et øjeblik.En: Mikkel hesitated for a moment.Da: "Jeg har også tænkt på det," indrømmede han.En: "I've thought about it too," he admitted.Da: "Men livet blev så kompliceret dengang."En: "But life became so complicated back then."Da: De talte åbent og dybt om deres minder og følelser.En: They spoke openly and deeply about their memories and feelings.Da: Luften var kold, men samtalen bragte en varme mellem dem.En: The air was cold, but the conversation brought warmth between them.Da: Da de vendte tilbage til Astrid, følte Freja en lettelse og grip af nyvunden forståelse med Mikkel.En: When they returned to Astrid, Freja felt a relief and a sense of newfound understanding with Mikkel.Da: De sluttede aftenen med latter og lovede at mødes igen.En: They ended the evening with laughter and promised to meet again.Da: Astrid, der nu også var engageret i samtalen, fik dem alle til at grine med sine kreative idéer til fremtidige møder.En: Astrid, who was now also engaged in the conversation, made them all laugh with her creative ideas for future meetings.Da: Da natten faldt på og snefnuggene stille dalede ned over Nyhavn, gik Freja hjem med et nyt håb i hjertet.En: As night fell and snowflakes quietly drifted down over Nyhavn, Freja went home

In this colorful and joy-filled episode of the 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, Ginny Yurich sits down with gardener, photographer, and author Sandra Mao (@sandraurbangarden) to talk about how a garden can become a feast for the eyes, and an adventure for the whole family. Sandra shares how she grew up gardening alongside her parents and grandmother, and how her own family's garden began with simple container planting during quarantine… then blossomed into half a backyard full of vibrant surprises. Together, Ginny and Sandra explore the magic of colorful vegetables and flowers, from rainbow carrots and radishes to striped peppers, purple cauliflower, “dragon's egg” cucumbers, and even yard-long beans. They also dive into practical, confidence-building tips for beginners: choosing a color palette, finding seed sources, saving seeds, managing pests, and keeping gardening fun (even when things grow wonky!). You'll also hear about Sandra's favorite easy-to-grow flowers like zinnias, marigolds, and calendula, plus how she dries herbs and petals, makes infused oils, and preserves harvests through canning and sun-drying. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by gardening or you're looking for a way to get your kids excited to grow (and actually try vegetables!), this conversation will leave you inspired to plant something vibrant and step outside together.

Click to Text Thoughts on Today's EpisodeCan you believe we've wrapped up 24 seasons of the Grace Health Podcast?! The journey has been nothing short of incredible. For those new here, I typically run three seasons a year, each with its own flavor—sometimes focused, sometimes a bit more “loosey-goosey,” but always with the goal of bringing you value, encouragement, and practical health wisdom.I love doing these season recaps for two reasons. First, if you're new, it's a great way to get a high-level overview of what we're about. I know when I discover a new podcast, I look for recap episodes to get a sense of the content and see if it's a good fit. Second, even my most loyal listeners can't catch every episode. Life happens! These recaps let you see what you might have missed and revisit topics that resonate.We're about to hit a major milestone—500 episodes! I'd love your ideas on how to celebrate. If you have thoughts, please use the “click to text” feature in your podcast player or episode description. And as we head into the holidays, remember: the best gifts aren't always wrapped.

From the clogged chaos of the ER to the quiet clarity of holistic coaching, Sharon shares what really drives those midlife flare-ups: relentless stress, hormone shifts, and a nervous system that hasn't felt safe in years.We unpack the patterns clinicians see every day—diverticulitis, abdominal pain, headaches—and trace them back to chronic stress and changing estrogen. Sharon explains why standard protocols often miss the mark for multi-symptom women and how better conversations can change care: bring a symptom journal, connect timing to stressors, and ask directly about hormones, cortisol, and insulin resistance. We talk through practical resets that make biology easier: restorative movement, breath-led recovery, protein-forward meals with fiber, and clear boundaries that protect sleep and energy. Small, consistent margins of calm add up to steadier glucose, fewer crashes, and more emotional bandwidth.Together we challenge cookie-cutter wellness, celebrate progress over perfection, and honor the brave act of saying no when your body asks for rest. If you've felt dismissed, rushed, or overwhelmed by mixed messages online, this conversation offers a kinder map: one that treats you as the gift and builds longevity day by day.If this resonates, follow and subscribe, share with a friend who needs it, and leave a quick review to help more women find the show.

On this episode of the Fit Mother Project Podcast, Episode 176, Dr. Anthony sits down with Fit Mother member Selene Connolly, a 59-year-old mom, “Lolly” (grandma), wife of 37 years, and director of engineering who completely rebuilt her health, hope, and strength in her late 50s. After a devastating foot injury, the stress of COVID, nightly wine, and feeling too weak to even carry a laundry basket or open a jar, Selene had quietly lost faith that she could ever really come back. In this powerful conversation, you'll hear how Selene lost about 40 pounds in about five months and has maintained that loss for over a year, how she moved from feeling like a “fraud” inside the program to becoming a true leader in the Fit Mother community, and how she helped create in-person sisterhood meetups and hiking trips around the country. You'll also hear her simple but profound routines: early-morning mindset work, short but consistent workouts, grounding and breath breaks during a demanding workday, and evenings spent learning new things instead of zoning out in front of the TV. Selene and Dr. Anthony dive into facing limiting beliefs, changing the inner voice, using labs and body composition data to truly “own” your health, and why encouragement is literally “breathing courage into others.” If you're a busy woman over 40 who's ever felt stuck, alone, or like you “don't belong” in fitness spaces, Selene's story will show you how small daily choices, community, and authenticity can completely change the trajectory of your life.

What if the belief that runs your life isn't yours at all? Our guest, Tara Wiskow, opens up about losing 220 pounds, battling bulimia, and surviving multiple suicide attempts—only to be pulled back by a five-year-old's simple question: Are you going to die, mama? That moment didn't just save her life; it rewired her identity and set her on a path to self-love, deep healing, and purpose.We dig into why so many women in midlife feel stuck despite doing “everything right.” The truth is often hidden in self-sabotage and people pleasing that push our names to the bottom of the list. Tara breaks down how radical self-love, mirror work, and power statements shift your inner narrative from I'm not enough to I am worthy. We explore NLP and Mental Emotional Release to find the root cause of limiting beliefs, then show how intuitive energy healing clears the residue and fills the space with calm, confidence, and joy. You'll hear how grief can become a portal to authenticity and how soul-aligned journaling helps you write your life from the future you want to live.This conversation is both tender and tactical. Expect concrete steps: how to spot sabotage, how to release old stories in your timeline, how to practice soul-aligned journaling that reveals true desires, and how to anchor your new identity with daily power statements.
