Episode 329: The Nervous System Piece Most Christians Are Missing with Cristal DuBois, CHP
So many Christians are doing all the right things. They’re praying. Renewing their minds. Working on their habits. Cleaning up their food. Taking the supplements. Trying so hard to “have more peace.” All good things. But there may be a missing piece for your peace.
If the body is stuck in survival mode, it can be incredibly difficult to access the calm, resilience, and emotional steadiness we’re pursuing spiritually. In this episode, Cristal Dubois shares how the nervous system plays a powerful - and often overlooked - role in stress, grief, emotional regulation, and whole-body healing.
I also share my experience of going through her Safe, Sound and Restored program and how it has helped me and my husband through our recent season of stress and grief.
If you’ve ever thought, “Why am I still struggling when I’m doing everything right?” - this conversation is for you!

Episode 324: A Biblical View of Sugar
Sugar gets a bad rap - but what does the Bible actually say about it?
In this episode, we take a biblical and biological look at sugar, exploring why not all sweeteners are created equal and how God designed sweetness to be used with wisdom, seasonality, and discernment. We’ll unpack the role of honey, maple syrup, dates and the surprising benefits of molasses - plus the sugar I’m using most often these days.
Food fear, sugar shaming and feeling sugar shamed is not peaceful or productive. Instead, let’s talk about scripture, stewardship, and learning how to enjoy sweetness without being ruled by it.

Episode 323: Total Load Theory: When Your Body Has Had Enough with Patricia Lemer
In this week’s episode, licensed counselor and author Patricia Lemer brings clarity to so many of today’s complex health issues by explaining Total Load Theory.
From autism and ADHD to anxiety, autoimmune conditions, food sensitivities, mold illness, and chronic inflammation, she explains why it’s rarely a single toxin, diagnosis, or genetic flaw at the root. Instead, it’s the cumulative burden-the total load-that slowly overwhelms the body until it reaches a tipping point.
In this conversation, we explore:
Why “a little bit” of many exposures becomes too much
How food, chemicals, medications, mold, and environmental toxins add up
The opioid-like effects of gluten and dairy in sensitive individuals
Why detox pathways (pooping, peeing, sweating) matter more than supplements alone
The overlooked role of the nervous system, trauma, and the vagus nerve in healing
Why the body whispers before it screams-and how to listen sooner
How reducing total load is an act of stewardship
This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt overwhelmed, sensitive, or frustrated by symptoms that don’t fit neatly into a box and for those who are ready to stop fighting their bodies and start understanding them.
🎧 Listen now and learn what it means when your body has had enough.
