Still feel like your body is asking for something more — but the answers you’ve been given don’t quite fit?
You’ve prayed. You’ve tried to do the “right” things. You’ve cleaned up your diet, followed the protocols, tracked the symptoms — and yet you still feel tired, inflamed, hormonally off, or quietly discouraged by a system that offers management instead of understanding.
Faith Over Pharma is a faith-led wellness podcast for women (and couples) who are ready to slow down, listen more deeply, and explore healing with discernment — without defaulting to pharmaceuticals or one-size-fits-all solutions.
Hosted by Susan Gladstein, Holistic Reproductive Health Practitioner and Functional Nutrition Specialist, the show blends science, scripture, and lived experience to help you reconnect with the wisdom God built into the body.
Through thoughtful conversations and real-life stories, episodes explore foundational health, nervous system support, light-based therapies, fertility after vasectomy reversal, hormone balance, chronic symptoms, and the role of faith in making wise, embodied health decisions.
This is not a space for quick fixes or pressure to “do more.”
It’s a place to create room — for clarity, restoration, and trust in the healing process God is still unfolding.
If you’ve ever felt dismissed, rushed, or told your symptoms are simply something you have to live with, this space will remind you of what’s true:
Your body was designed with intelligence.
Healing doesn’t have to be forced.
And faith belongs in the conversation.
Welcome to Faith Over Pharma — where we choose discernment before default, and honor the pace of real healing.
