TOP 3% 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.

Most of us grew up learning what a period is… but not why it happens.
We were told a “normal” cycle is 28 days and ovulation always happens on day 14 — but that’s simply not true for most women.
In this episode, I’m breaking down how to truly understand your menstrual cycle and what your body is communicating in every phase — from your period to ovulation and everything in between.
You’ll learn how to recognize the signs your hormones need support, what’s considered healthy variation, and why stress, thyroid health, and lifestyle shifts can change your cycle (and that’s not always a bad thing!).
We’ll also talk about how men’s hormones follow a 24-hour rhythm — while ours ebb and flow over roughly 28 days — and why that means you were never meant to show up the same way every day.
You’ll walk away understanding:
- What a truly normal menstrual cycle looks like (and why it’s not one-size-fits-all)
- The four hormonal “seasons” — menstrual, follicular, ovulatory, and luteal — and how to support your body in each
- The surprising connection between stress and delayed ovulation
- How thyroid disorders, PCOS, and hypothalamic amenorrhea show up in your cycle
- Foods, movement, and mindset shifts to balance hormones naturally
- Why tracking your cycle is one of the most powerful tools for healing
If you’ve ever wondered why your energy, mood, and motivation change week to week, or why you feel different from the men around you — this episode will help you finally understand your rhythm and start honoring it instead of fighting it.
