TOP 2% GLOBALLY RANKED HOLISTIC HEALTH PODCAST
Holistic and faith-led fertility support for couples trying to conceive after vasectomy reversal.
Hi, I’m Susan Gladstein — Holistic Reproductive Health Practitioner, Functional Nutrition Specialist, founder of The Rooted Reset™, and mom of two vasectomy reversal babies born in my 40s.
Faith Over Pharma is for the couple who thought getting pregnant after vasectomy reversal would happen faster than this.
You are tracking cycles, timing everything, watching semen analysis numbers, praying for two pink lines, and trying to stay hopeful while each month feels heavier than the last.
You are told to “wait and see,” but waiting without a plan is exhausting.
You are told time is running out, your numbers are not where they should be, and IUI, IVF, or ICSI may be your only option. But something about that does not sit right with you. You are not against medical support. You just want someone to look at the whole picture before you make decisions that carry mental, physical, emotional, spiritual, and financial weight.
I know this road personally.
After my husband’s vasectomy reversal, I had my first reversal baby at 40 and my second at almost 45. I know what it feels like to wonder if God brought you this far only for it to still feel so hard. I also know there is so much more to fertility after reversal than a semen analysis, a timeline, or being told to “just keep trying.”
Here, we talk about what mainstream medicine often overlooks: male fertility, sperm health, semen analysis patterns, hormones, thyroid health, inflammation, nervous system stress, sleep, nutrient status, blood sugar, cycle health, mitochondrial health, and the root causes that may be quietly working against conception.
Because fertility is not separate from health.
Through honest conversations, practical education, personal experience, and faith-led encouragement, this podcast helps you support both partners from the root up so you can stop guessing, see the bigger picture, and make decisions with more clarity and peace.
Inside Faith Over Pharma, you’ll learn how to:
Understand fertility after vasectomy reversal with more clarity
Look beyond basic semen analysis results and “normal” labs
Support male fertility and sperm health naturally
Improve hormone balance, cycle health, and whole-body fertility
Address stress, sleep, inflammation, and foundational health
Prepare your body before big fertility decisions
Navigate faith, surrender, and hope while waiting to conceive
If you want to honor the sacredness of conception while still taking practical, informed steps…
If you believe God designed the body with wisdom and you want to understand how to support it well…
You are in the right place.
