    2025/07/15
    This is StRest! Meet Kim Gravel—QVC powerhouse, entrepreneur, wife, and Southern belle with a gift for telling the unvarnished truth. In this episode, host Kerstin Lindquist sits down with Kim for a candid conversation about faith-first living, emotional health, and why loving others is simpler (and harder) than we think. From navigating a son’s high-school graduation to fighting Bell’s palsy on live TV, Kim unpacks morning disciplines, food battles, purpose-driven business, and the messy grace of motherhood.

    This is StRest! Meet Mally Roncal—celebrity makeup artist, “positivity preacher,” and devoted Christian mom raising three teenage girls (one proudly in the LGBTQ+ community). In this episode, host Kerstin Lindquist and Mally dive into the hard-won lessons behind joyful living: surrendering control to God, finding pockets of happy in grief, pushing back on toxic church culture, and loving your children—exactly as God created them.

  • Holy, Hormonal & Not Crazy with Kim Gargano: Why Faith Is the Missing Link in Women’s Health

    Holy, Hormonal & Not Crazy with Kim Gargano: Why Faith Is the Missing Link in Women’s Health
    2025/06/17
    This is StRest! Meet Kim Gargano: Christian content creator, podcast host of Holy and Hormonal, and a passionate advocate for helping women reclaim their health by understanding their hormones through a biblical lens. In this episode, host Kerstin Lindquist talks with Kim about how trauma, PMDD, and cultural shame around menstruation once left her feeling lost and faithless—and how inviting Jesus into her hormonal health sparked a healing journey. From navigating the birth control dilemma to managing a bleeding disorder and launching a viral movement online, Kim breaks open what every woman should know about her hormones, why we must stop dissociating from pain, and how God’s design—through circadian rhythm, community, and rest—restores our wholeness. Whether you’re battling monthly rage, insomnia, or perimenopausal exhaustion, this conversation offers both spiritual grounding and practical tools for cycle syncing, testing, and embracing your body as divinely made. Major Themes & Concepts ✅ Hormones impact every system: not just mood or periods ✅ PMDD is real—and deeply misunderstood ✅ Cultural shame keeps women from healing ✅ Birth control: informed consent over default prescription ✅ God designed the circadian rhythm—sunlight, sleep, and cycles matter ✅ Faith-based hormone education is still rare—Kim is leading the charge ✅ Menopause ≠ decline—it’s a second puberty with power ✅ Dissociation numbs pain—but healing requires presence and surrender ✅ God meets you in your hormonal struggle: you are not alone Chapters 00:00 | Culture, disconnection, and dissociating from pain 03:28 | Kim’s journey: from church hurt to hormonal health advocate 06:34 | What hormones really do (spoiler: everything) 10:08 | PMDD, rage, and realizing you’re not “crazy” 14:43 | Birth control pros, cons, and the case for deeper questions 20:15 | The problem with Band-Aid medicine 22:18 | Trauma, therapy, and why community heals 27:14 | Invite Jesus into your hormonal chaos 28:45 | Cycle syncing 101: four phases & circadian rhythm 30:45 | Sustainable steps: greens, sunlight, and protein first 32:38 | Hormone testing: Dutch, Rupa, and what to know 34:42 | Stress, self-worth, and lifestyle change resistance 35:42 | Hormones and mental health: practical tools that help 38:28 | Parenting, motherhood fears, and generational healing 40:25 | Body grace in your 20s vs. 40s—respect the season 48:37 | Kim’s non-negotiables: morning routine and movement 50:30 | Stress relief: voice notes, shaking, and creative worship Work with Kerstin ⁠⁠⁠⁠Workshops & Events⁠⁠⁠⁠ – Join upcoming events & retreats. ⁠⁠⁠⁠Health Coaching with Kerstin⁠⁠⁠⁠ – 1:1 coaching for stress reduction & wellness.

  • Faith, Food, and the Root of Disease — Dr. Josh Axe on Healing from the Inside Out

    Faith, Food, and the Root of Disease — Dr. Josh Axe on Healing from the Inside Out
    2025/06/13
    This is StRest! Meet Dr. Josh Axe: Doctor of Natural Medicine, Doctor of Chiropractic, clinical nutritionist, founder of Ancient Nutrition and The Health Institute, and host of the top-25 Dr. Josh Axe Show. In this episode, host Kerstin Lindquist digs into Dr. Axe’s blueprint for healing “body, mind, and spirit” through biblically rooted nutrition, lifestyle medicine, and emotional restoration. From reversing type 2 diabetes with low-glycemic meals, to quenching menopausal hot flashes with flaxseed and black cohosh, Dr. Axe explains why 95 % of chronic disease is lifestyle-driven, how specific emotions trigger specific organ breakdowns, and why true health starts with spiritual surrender. He shares candid stories of a teacher who labeled him “learning-disabled,” the mentor who rewrote that narrative, and how childhood words can still sabotage adult biology—unless we let Scripture rewrite our identity. Whether you’re juggling thyroid meds, night-sweats, or plain burnout, this conversation maps the practical steps (and supplements) to trade endless Band-Aids for genuine, root-cause freedom. Major Themes & Concepts ✅ Stress—not sugar or fat—is America’s biggest killer✅ Epigenetics: genes are “light switches,” lifestyle flips them✅ Biblical principles of farming > soil depletion & nutrient loss✅ Doctor’s goal = get you off meds, not maintain prescriptions✅ Personalized nutrition: “one diet never fits all”✅ Emotion-organ links (fear ⇢ adrenals, worry ⇢ gut, anger ⇢ liver)✅ Menopause rescue foods: flax, soy, berries, figs, yam, duck eggs✅ Tongue & GI-Map testing for real root-cause insights✅ Win-the-morning routine: gratitude, walk, Word, protein smoothie Chapters 00:00 | Reversing diabetes & chronic disease with lifestyle medicine 03:00 | Science × Scripture: finding overlap for true health 07:00 | Epigenetics, generational patterns, and the power of choice 10:30 | Why acute-care medicine fails chronic illness 14:00 | Stress as the top aging factor—case studies & lab data 18:00 | Hidden nutrient theft: birth-control pills, aspirin, common drugs 24:00 | Root-cause testing: CGMs, GI-MAP, organic-acids, tongue clues 28:30 | Menopause & hormone balance foods + top herbal allies 34:00 | Emotional-spiritual healing: fear, worry, anger, and organ systems 40:00 | Morning rituals, core supplements, and Dr. Axe’s parting guidance Work with Kerstin ⁠⁠⁠Workshops & Events⁠⁠⁠ – Join upcoming events & retreats. ⁠⁠⁠Health Coaching with Kerstin⁠⁠⁠ – 1:1 coaching for stress reduction & wellness.
