Episode 266: The Benefits of GLP-1s and Peptide Therapy with Dr Stephanie Rimka

The peptide world seemed to explode onto the scene with the popularity of GLP-1s (like Ozempic) for weight loss. Although my initial reaction was skeptical (great, another weight loss “magic bullet” that’s going to fail people in the end), I’ve learned that GLP-1s and other peptides have been used therapeutically for decades. Although there can be abuse of application and poor guidance around peptide use, there’s no denying how helpful they can be when used appropriately.

In this week’s episode, peptide expert Dr. Stephanie Rimka is explaining the benefits of GLP-1s and peptide therapy. Come listen for important insight on who’s a good candidate for peptides and the best way to utilize them!

Episode 265: Finding Grace After Abortion with Robin Gerblick

One day when we were sitting by the pool at a ranch resort in Arizona, Robin, the founder and visionary of @exoduswomensretreat, shared her story with me. What I heard was not jiving with the beautiful, elegant, successful woman of God sitting before me. A string of failed marriages, two abortions, a deep lack of confidence in identity…my jaw dropped on my pool chair as she unraveled her past. Little did I know I just got a small piece of the story that day and didn’t know the full extent of it until she recently released her book Giving Up Grace.

Robin is on the podcast this week to share her story in hopes that it will save a life and lead others to Life - the grace, forgiveness and healing that she found in Jesus. 

Listen in to hear the raw, gripping, emotional truth that ultimately leads to hope and true love.

Episode 263: Iodine, Thyroid, Hormones & Cancer with Dr. David Brownstein

In this week’s episode we’re shining the light on a critical, yet somewhat controversial, mineral that we need for every cell in our body. Dr. David Brownstein is a well-respected expert on iodine who has used it to successfully address thyroid conditions in his medical practice. He highlights the fact that, while the thyroid may need the highest concentration of iodine in the body, the second highest concentration is the breast followed by the ovaries as third. It has profound influence over these areas of health and, yet, so many people are deficient. We’re taking a deep dive into the history, physiology and controversy surrounding iodine and Dr. Brownstein’s suggestions on how to meet your body’s needs.

Episode 262: Fall, Light, Fructose & Fat

Most people don’t realize that our physiology responds to the changes of light, temperature and food that come with seasonal transitions. We acknowledge it in plants and animals (like the leaves falling or bears going into hibernation) but not in our very own bodies! In this week’s episode, we’re talking about how fall changes impact:

  • Food signals

  • Fat storage & fat burning

  • Vitamin D 

  • Melatonin

  • Cold exposure 

And God said, “Let there be lights in the vault of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark sacred times, and days and years.  Genesis 1:14

260: Thyroid Health with Carly Bayless, MSN, CHP, FNTP

A sluggish or overactive thyroid can cause all sorts of health issues. Most often it’s the sluggish kind that affects people. If you feel tired, fat, slow, cold, dry  and constipated…there’s a very good chance you have an underperforming thyroid.  

Unfortunately, medication is often prescribed without proper testing or root cause consideration. Did you know the sun can play a key role in signaling your thyroid? Did you know you need enough iodine to even make thyroid hormone but most people are deficient? Did you know that your liver needs to be working right to convert T4 to T3? Did you know that most doctors don’t even check T3? 

In this week’s episode, Carly breaks it all down for us: the physiology, testing, natural approaches and medication. Come listen and learn about this key metabolic gland.

258: Humics, Fulvics & Carbon Technology with Dorothy Dick

This week’s episode is all about the enormous health and healing benefits of humic and fulvic acids. These compounds are created when beneficial microbes decompose old plant material and turn it into very nutrient-rich dirt. They are composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Those are the same three elements that make up about 96% of the body. Considering we’re made from dirt and they’re made from dirt, seems like a good match, right? 


And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. Genesis 2:7 


This week’s guest is here to explain the key to unlocking the potential of these amazing compounds that offer vitamins, minerals, amino acids and electrons and help your body move toxins out of the system.


Dorothy Dick is a health and life coach who personally and professionally discovered the healing benefits of this powerful carbon technology.

Her steadfast faith in God’s plan and refusal to let her diagnosis become her destiny have resulted in far exceeding her doctor’s prediction of life in a wheelchair. Come listen as she shares so much wisdom and passion in this week’s episode.

257: Redox Before You Detox

Redox Potential is the measure of how easily you gain or lose electrons. The better you gain and hold onto electrons, the better your body can naturally rid itself of toxic and pathogenic material. This is a key to detoxification that nobody pays enough attention to. God made our bodies strong, resilient and capable of handling these offenses when we have plenty of cellular voltage. Parasites hate a negative charge! They don’t survive well in a high electron environment. 

The problem is most people are doing things that destroy their redox potential which means they destroy their detox potential. They are more vulnerable to parasitic, bacterial and viral infections and being hit hard by toxins. They need more detox support because their natural systems are overburdened and sluggish.

In this week’s episode, we’re diving into all of the details of how to increase your Redox Potential so that your body can better do what God created it to do.
