Her Holistic Healing: Faith-Fueled Answers for the Exhausted Christian Woman

TOP 1.5% PODCAST (global ranking)

Are you a Christian woman exhausted by chronic fatigue, autoimmune disease, gut issues, or symptoms that conventional medicine keeps dismissing?

I'm Alexandra — a Registered Nurse who spent years inside the pharmaceutical industry, close enough to see how broken the system really is. Then I got sick myself and had to find a different way. God opened my eyes to a completely different way of seeing health — one that honors the body He designed, the faith He gave me, and the life He called me to live.

Her Holistic Healing is the podcast for the faith-driven woman who is done letting conventional medicine be her only option. Each week we explore why your symptoms are never just physical — diving into the whole picture of body, mind, spirit, relationships, and environment — with practical wisdom, biblical truth, and the clinical perspective of a nurse who has seen both sides.

This isn't about quick fixes or remedy lists. It's about helping you finally see what's actually draining your energy and peace — so you can move forward with wisdom, not overwhelm.

If you're ready to stop surviving and start healing the way God designed you to — you're in the right place.

    211: Exhausted on 13-Hour Shifts, I Tried This Instead of Coffee — A Faith-Based Look at Real Energy
    2026/09/10
    Do you feel exhausted by the end of a long shift, reaching for coffee or something artificial just to make it through the next one? If you've ever wondered whether there's a simpler, faith-based way to fuel your body, this episode is for you. This post is for the Christian woman who is tired of feeling exhausted, tired of ignoring her body's signals, and ready to start paying attention to what real, God-given nourishment actually looks like. You won't find a magic fix here — just an honest look at one small experiment, and a bigger conversation about trusting how God designed our bodies to be fed. A Personal Experiment Born Out of Exhaustion Working ten to thirteen hour hospital shifts, sometimes three days in a row, leaves little room for rest or careful eating. Packing meals, driving between hospitals, and carrying supplies all day adds up — and it's easy to end those shifts running on empty. That exhaustion is what led to trying something simple: adding a quart of organic coconut water to long shifts, in place of the energy drinks and coffee that never fit into the routine to begin with. What the Research Actually Says About Coconut Water A look at a peer-reviewed article in the journal Molecules on the chemical composition of coconut water offered some interesting context. Coconut water has historically been used for oral and even intravenous rehydration in remote regions of the world, thanks to its natural content of sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium. One serving contains modest amounts of these nutrients — nothing flashy on a label. But the research also pointed out something worth sitting with: scientists still don't fully understand every compound in coconut water, and more advanced detection methods may reveal even more of its properties over time. That's a reminder that even something as simple as coconut water reflects a level of complexity science hasn't fully caught up to yet. Becoming Your Own Lab Rat This is a concept I write about in my own book, Discover God's Health Wisdom: Exposing 8 Common Myths That Keep You Sick — the idea of testing how your own body responds to different foods, herbs, and habits rather than assuming one approach works for everyone. The personal experiment looked like this: Day one: one quart of coconut water during a shift, modest energy improvementDay two: noticeably more energized despite another long shiftDay three: energy held steady with another quart Every body responds differently. Not everyone will notice a dramatic shift, and not everyone will even like the taste — that's simply a reminder that discernment matters more than trends. Why Whole, God-Made Foods Matter There's a bigger principle underneath this whole experiment: real, whole foods created by God are inherently powerful, not because of a flashy nutrition label, but because of who made them. Genesis describes Adam as formed from the earth — a picture of how our bodies were designed to interact with the plants, animals, and elements God created. When our diets drift far from that design and lean heavily on heavily processed, man-made foods, it's not surprising that many of us feel chronically hungry or drained, even when we're eating constantly. This isn't about guilt or perfection. Even a home that values whole foods still has birthday trips to a fast food restaurant sometimes. It's about asking God for wisdom on what serves your body well, rather than following culture's default. A Word on Discernment, Not Diagnosis None of this is medical advice, and it's not a promise that coconut water — or any single food — will transform your energy overnight. What matters more is the practice of paying attention: noticing how your body responds, asking God for wisdom about your choices, and taking small, faithful steps toward better stewardship of your health.

  • 210: Why Unforgiveness Is Making You Sick (And What to Do About It)

    210: Why Unforgiveness Is Making You Sick (And What to Do About It)
    2026/08/27

    Grudges don't just weigh on your heart. They weigh on your body.

    I was reading an article recently by Dr. Lantie Jorandby, a board-certified psychiatrist, in Psychology Today. She writes about how holding onto resentment raises stress and cortisol. Higher cortisol means higher blood pressure, weakened immunity, and greater risk of heart disease.

    It's also tied to depression and rumination, that repetitive negative loop your mind gets stuck in. That loop steals your sleep, which drives cortisol even higher. It's a cycle that feeds itself.

    Cortisol even affects the hippocampus, the part of your brain responsible for memory. That's part of why people with chronic PTSD often show a smaller hippocampus on scans. Add in muscle tension, elevated heart rate, higher blood pressure, and this isn't a small thing your body is shrugging off. It's carrying it.

    The Bible talks about forgiveness constantly, and I think this research shows us why. But forgiveness gets misunderstood a lot, so let's be clear about what it actually is.

    It doesn't mean pretending you weren't mistreated. It doesn't mean there are no consequences for someone's behavior. It doesn't mean going back into a relationship that isn't safe. What it does mean is choosing to release the resentment, and letting go of wanting revenge, even when revenge would feel justified.

    I'll be honest with you about why this topic landed on my heart this week. I'd written my notes for this episode about a week before I recorded it, and I had no idea how much I'd need my own reminder by the time I sat down to talk.

    I won't get into the specifics, but something happened recently that stirred up some old, not-positive feelings toward a former employer, feelings I thought I'd already worked through. It was like salt got rubbed right back into a wound I thought had closed. If I'm honest, it hurt my pride more than anything else.

    That experience got me thinking about something a lot of women carry quietly: church hurt. Sitting with my own small version of it gave me real compassion for women who've been hurt far worse, by people in the church, and who've walked away from it entirely because of what happened to them there.

    If that's you, if part of you doesn't want to go back, I don't blame you. But I'd gently remind you: the church is made up of flawed people. Not everyone in it wants to harm you. And God saw what happened. He cares.

    There's a story in Genesis that's stayed with me on this. Sarai didn't trust God to give her and Abraham a child, so she told Abraham to sleep with her servant, Hagar. Once Hagar became pregnant, Sarai dealt harshly with her, and Hagar fled into the wilderness alone.

    But God met her there. Genesis 16:13 says she called Him "a God of seeing," saying, "Truly here I have seen him who looks after me." God does not want us harmed. When you were hurt, He saw it. He was with you then, and He's with you now. He wants your pain brought to Him, not carried alone in silence.

    So bring it to Him. Talk to Him about it like you would a trusted friend, or write it out in a letter if that's easier. Ask Him plainly: help me forgive.

    Some days that's a one-time prayer. Other days you'll have to pray it again the moment the memory resurfaces, and then again after that. Forgiveness is rarely a single decision. It's a practice you return to, and there's real freedom in knowing God asks us to keep forgiving because He kept forgiving us.

    If church hurt is part of your story, here's what I want you to know: there are people in the church who genuinely love the way Christ loved. You don't have to go back to the one that hurt you, but I'd encourage you not to stay away from church altogether.

    Healing tends to happen in community, not in isolation. God never intended for you to carry bitterness or resentment quietly until it made you sick. He wants you free from it, in your spirit and in your body.

  • 209: The One Habit That Finally Explains Why You're Still Exhausted: A Christian Wellness Perspective

    209: The One Habit That Finally Explains Why You're Still Exhausted: A Christian Wellness Perspective
    2026/08/19
    If you've been pushing through exhaustion, ignoring your own needs to take care of everyone else, and wondering why you still feel worn down no matter how hard you try, this episode is for you. In this episode, we look at an old story about two woodcutters and what it teaches us about holistic health, faith-based rest, and why sharpening your axe matters more than working harder. This episode is for the Christian woman who is ready to take real steps toward healing. If you've tried supplement after supplement, diet after diet, and you're still exhausted, this conversation will help you understand what might actually be missing. The Story of the Two Woodcutters Two woodcutters, Jake and Jonas, competed to see who could chop the most wood by the end of the day. Jonas never stopped. Jake stopped every hour. By sundown, Jake had won, not despite the breaks, but because of them. Every time he stopped, he was sharpening his saw. This story usually gets told as a lesson in productivity. But it points to something deeper about how we care for our bodies and our health. What Ecclesiastes 10:10 Teaches Us About Sharpening Our Axe Ecclesiastes 10:10 says, "If the iron is blunt and one does not sharpen the edge, he must use more strength, but wisdom helps one to succeed." A dull axe forces us to work harder for less result. The same is true in our health. When we neglect the basics, our bodies have to work harder just to keep up, and we still fall short. Why We Should Ask God How to Sharpen Our Saw Instead of guessing our way through diets, supplements, and health trends, we can ask God how to care for our specific bodies. He knows us best. Sharpening our saw might look different for each of us, but it starts with the same question: what does God want me to prioritize? Jesus Modeled Rest and Intentionality Mark 1:35 describes Jesus rising early, while it was still dark, to go pray alone. When His disciples told Him everyone was looking for Him, He didn't rush back to meet every need. He said, "Let us go on to the next towns that I may preach there also, for that is why I came out." Jesus was intentional. He rested with God first, and He didn't try to be everything to everyone. That's a pattern worth following, especially for women who feel responsible for holding everything together. Practical Ways to Sharpen Your Axe Sharpening your saw looks different for everyone, but a few examples came up in this episode: Spending unhurried time with God, even before the day gets busyWatching what you eat and food prepping ahead of timeGetting support from a friend, therapist, pastor, or church communitySwapping out personal care or cleaning products for cleaner optionsSpending time with friends, not just familyMoving your body in a way you enjoy, whether that's kickboxing, walking, or light strength trainingReducing stress wherever possible, including something as simple as stopping to eat at a set time None of these are quick fixes. They're the ongoing, unglamorous habits that keep us from running on empty.

What God asks you to prioritize may look different than what He asks someone else to prioritize.Jesus modeled rest and intentional boundaries, even when others wanted more of His time.Small, consistent habits, like eating on time, moving your body, and staying connected to friends, matter more than we often give them credit for.This episode isn't medical advice. It's an invitation to slow down, reflect, and ask God what your body actually needs. Ready to Stop Running on Empty?
