When Ignoring Your Health Backfires: A Mom’s Gut, Hormones, and Faith Journey

In this inspiring episode, Kristen shares her raw and powerful story of putting her family first—until her own health hit a breaking point. What started as a mission to help her children navigate celiac disease led to the shocking realization that her own gut, hormones, and stress levels were spiraling out of control.

Kristen opens up about battling postpartum anxiety, chronic exhaustion, and unexplainable pain that doctors dismissed—until functional medicine revealed the deeper root causes. She dives into the role of gut health, food sensitivities, and hormone imbalances, and how stepping away from her career and into God’s calling brought lasting healing. If you’ve been silently suffering while holding it all together for your family, this episode is a must-listen.
