Are you exhausted by the monthly rollercoaster of hope and heartbreak, wondering if God’s plan includes the baby you’re praying for after a vasectomy reversal? You’re doing everything you can—clean eating, supplements, tracking ovulation, maybe even testing sperm quality—but each negative test leaves you crushed. The isolation, the financial strain, and watching others get pregnant easily can make you feel like you’re failing or being left behind. You wonder, “What’s wrong with me? Why isn’t this working?” You are not alone. Welcome to Conceiving After Vasectomy Reversal, a faith-based podcast where your struggles are understood, your feelings are validated, and your hope is renewed. This is your safe space to find holistic fertility support, spiritual encouragement, and practical steps to improve your chances of conceiving naturally after a vasectomy reversal. I’m Susan Gladstein, a Board Certified Health Coach, Functional Nutrition & Fertility Practitioner, and a mom who’s been in your shoes. My husband and I faced the endless waiting, the crushing disappointment, and the constant “Why not us?” after his vasectomy reversal. It took prayer, surrender, and a holistic approach to health to finally hold our miracle baby. Now, I’m here to help you meet yours. In this podcast, we’ll cover: - Real-life stories from couples who know exactly how you feel. - Fertility strategies to support both you and your partner—nutrition, supplements, and sperm health. - What doctors don’t always tell you, like why “normal” lab results might not be “optimal” for conception. - Faith-based encouragement and prayers to help you stay hopeful, even when it feels impossible. You’re not crazy. You’re not broken. You’re not alone. You’re walking a hard path, but there is hope. Together, let’s nurture your body, renew your faith, and take confident steps toward the family you’re dreaming of. As Jeremiah 29:11 says, “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Even in the waiting, God is working. I’m here to walk alongside you, offering support, guidance, and the belief that He’s preparing you for the family you’ve been praying for.

09. How to Break Free from Diet Drama: Find Peace with Food and Your Body

Hey Mama,
Do you spend your day meticulously tracking what you eat, trying to stick to that diet plan, even if it leaves you feeling hungry, tired, and frustrated? Do you avoid foods you love, labeling them as "forbidden," and even skip social events just to keep your food choices in check? Maybe you exercise, not because it brings you joy, but because you feel like you have to—as if it’s the only way to control your body. And when you see someone else with the "perfect" body, that pit of guilt, sadness, or even anger forms in your stomach.
I know this story well because I’ve lived it. I was trapped in that same Dieter’s Mindset, convinced that if I just tried harder, ate less, and worked out more, I’d finally feel good about myself. But instead, all I found was more stress, more guilt, and a life that felt smaller and smaller. The more I tried to control my body, the less joy I found in my everyday life.
But here’s the good news—there’s another way. In today’s episode, we’re going to unpack these struggles and explore how you can break free from the Dieter’s Mindset. We’ll talk about six practical steps you can take to find freedom from food rules, embrace your body with kindness, and live in a way that honors the beautiful, unique creation that you are. And yes, we’re going to bring in some biblical truths to remind you that you are so much more than a number on a scale.
So, if you’re ready to ditch the diet drama and step into a healthier, happier way of living, stay with me. Let’s dive in!
XO,
Susan
