Description
TOP 2% GLOBALLY RANKED HOLISTIC HEALTH PODCAST
Hi, I’m Susan Gladstein — Holistic Health Practitioner, Functional Nutrition Specialist, retreat host, and founder of The Rooted Reset™.
Faith Over Pharma is a faith-led, holistic health podcast for women who want to understand their bodies, restore balance, and make health decisions with discernment — without defaulting to pharmaceuticals or one-size-fits-all protocols.
This podcast is for women navigating hormone imbalance, chronic fatigue, inflammation, fertility after vasectomy reversal, or persistent symptoms that haven’t been resolved by conventional care. It’s for those who value both science and scripture and want a thoughtful, root-cause approach guided by wisdom—not urgency.
Through grounded conversations, lived experience, and practical education, Faith Over Pharma explores functional nutrition, nervous system regulation, light-based therapies, foundational health, and faith-informed wellness choices.
Inside the podcast, you’ll learn how to:
✨ Support hormone balance and energy naturally
✨ Regulate your nervous system and reduce chronic stress
✨ Approach fertility and hormone health with a whole-body lens
✨ Navigate chronic symptoms with clarity instead of fear
✨ Discern when to intervene — and when to create space for healing
✨ Steward your health in a way that aligns with your faith and values
If you’re tired of conflicting advice, frustrated by “normal” labs with ongoing symptoms, or craving a calmer, more thoughtful approach to healing — you’re in the right place.
So take a breath, press play, and settle into conversations that honor both faith and physiology.
