    May 23 2025
    This is StRest! In this episode, Kerstin Lindquist reveals the exact science‑meets‑faith routine that transformed her mornings—and her hormones. Drawing on circadian biology, hydration strategy, fasting timing, and spiritual grounding, she lays out a step‑by‑step plan: roll onto your knees in prayer, get natural light before touching a screen, hydrate with electrolytes, delay caffeine for 60 minutes, and pair it with 20 g of protein. Kerstin explains why cortisol peaks at dawn, how “sun before screens” jump‑starts melatonin production, and why grounding outdoors, quick workouts, sauna, and cold plunge create a virtuous hormone cycle.

    This is StRest! In this episode, Kerstin Lindquist is joined by human performance coach and functional health expert Justin Roethlingshoefer for a masterclass in reclaiming your health, energy, and God-given purpose. They explore the insidious ways modern life steals your vitality—from glorifying hustle to normalizing poor sleep and ultra-processed foods—and how the right data can help you take your health back. With over 20 years of experience training elite athletes and high-performers, Justin breaks down the four key health metrics that determine cellular vitality and long-term resilience.

Rooted in faith, science, and ownership, this conversation is both deeply spiritual and relentlessly practical.

    May 13 2025
    This is StRest! In this episode, Kerstin Lindquist is joined by her best friend and board-certified functional health coach, Debbie Wright, for an empowering, practical conversation that will change how you think about your health. From how to prepare for your doctor’s visit to what wearables actually matter, they walk through the top five things you can do to get the most out of your (often brief) medical appointments. Kerstin and Debbie unpack the truth behind “normal” bloodwork ranges, how to interpret your health data from devices like WHOOP and UltraHuman, and why glucose monitoring may be the single most powerful thing you can do to prevent chronic disease. They also model exactly what to say to your doctor when they push back, how to self-advocate with grace, and what functional medicine can offer when traditional healthcare falls short. If you’ve ever walked out of a doctor’s appointment frustrated or confused, this episode gives you a roadmap—and the mindset—to walk in prepared, collaborative, and confident. Major Themes & Concepts ✅ What your wearable metrics (HRV, RHR, VO2 Max, etc.) actually mean ✅ How to talk to your doctor—even if you only have six minutes ✅ Why “normal” lab ranges aren’t the goal (and what to ask for instead) ✅ Connection between glucose spikes, sleep, stress, and chronic disease ✅ How food scanning apps help you beat marketing lies on food labels ✅ Power of informed consent and requesting blood panels with confidence ✅ Prevention is cheaper than sick care ✅ What to do when insurance won’t help ✅ How knowing your genetic risks can make you healthier, not more afraid ✅ Functional medicine vs. traditional care: building your full health team ✅ Why you deserve collaborative care—and how to find the right provider Chapter Breakdown 00:00 – Introduction to Health and Wellness Coaching 05:12 – Maximizing Your Doctor's Appointment 08:01 – The Power of Wearable Technology 10:38 – Understanding Health Metrics (HRV, VO2 Max, Deep Sleep, etc.) 13:38 – Proactive Health Management and Using Data to Drive Change 16:13 – Navigating Blood Work and Doctor Relationships 28:21 – Understanding Health Metrics and Blood Work (continued) 32:10 – The Importance of Glucose Monitoring 34:19 – Navigating Doctor Consultations and Medication Prescriptions 36:24 – Food Scanning and Label Reading for Health Awareness 40:13 – Genetics, Lifestyle, and Beating the Odds 42:33 – Finding the Right Healthcare Provider for You 45:52 – Empowering Yourself in Doctor Visits and Knowing What to Say 50:51 – Building a Supportive Health Community and Advocating for Yourself 58:15 – CTA: Join Coaching, Get the Blood Panel List, Plug Into the Community Resources & Recommendations Work with Kerstin 📅 Workshops & Events – Join upcoming events & retreats. 💡 Health Coaching with Kerstin – 1:1 coaching for stress reduction & wellness.

  • Faith Mission Gone Wrong? Husband Faced 10 Years in Prison, Team Stabbed, and How God Showed Up — Donna Winship's Journey

    Faith Mission Gone Wrong? Husband Faced 10 Years in Prison, Team Stabbed, and How God Showed Up — Donna Winship's Journey
    May 9 2025
    This is StRest! In this episode, Kerstin Lindquist sits down with Donna Winship, co-founder of Identity Exchange, for a profound and transformative conversation about fear, faith, and the power of knowing who you truly are in God. From her early years as a Jewish girl who knew nothing about Jesus to becoming a wife, mother, and spiritual leader navigating life in war zones and foreign cultures, Donna shares her remarkable story of surrender, suffering, and supernatural peace. Through decades of missionary work in the Muslim world—including time in Indonesia and the Middle East—Donna and her husband, Jamie, were forced to confront the limits of traditional evangelism. Violence, arrests, and near-death experiences forced them to reimagine how to share Jesus—not by converting others to Christianity, but by inviting them to follow Jesus into the Kingdom of God. What emerged was a new way of life centered on listening to God, embracing identity, and exchanging lies for divine truth. Kerstin and Donna go deep into how stress manifests as false identity, how to sit with God and ask the right questions, and why spiritual transformation starts not with doing more, but with being known. If you’ve ever struggled with feeling unworthy, powerless, or unsure of your purpose—this episode is for you. Major Themes & Concepts ✅ From Jewish identity to embracing Jesus as Messiah ✅ Why traditional mission models caused violence instead of peace ✅ The difference between doing for God and being with God ✅ Experiencing vs. learning about God: why information isn’t transformation ✅ The truth about negative emotions and how they reveal false beliefs ✅ The prayer that changed everything: “God, what do you want me to know about that?” ✅ How shame, fear, and striving disconnect us from hearing God ✅ Why God is not a prosecutor but a physician who heals ✅ The neuroscience of identity and the power of choosing what to believe ✅ How to lead others not through argument, but through love, listening, and presence Chapter Breakdown 00:00 – Arrests, trauma, and a gospel model that failed 04:00 – Donna’s faith story: From Jewish roots to following Jesus 06:30 – The State Department offer—and why they said no 11:34 – Through Gates of Splendor and the call to go 12:50 – Raising three kids in Indonesia without hot water or internet 14:30 – Violence, persecution, and a 10-year prison sentence 17:12 – “We were trained in apologetics and it didn’t work” 20:00 – Confession redefined: What negative emotion are you avoiding? 22:00 – The prayer that changed everything 28:00 – Shame, fear, and the real root of sin 33:00 – Biblical identity shifts: Moses, Gideon, Paul 36:47 – What Jesus actually did: relationship over religion 39:35 – For the everyday woman: identity starts with one question 43:17 – Fear and peace in the Middle East 50:07 – “I’m not good enough”: breaking false names 53:04 – “Before your why, find your I”: identity unlocks purpose Work with Kerstin 📅 Workshops & Events 💡 Health Coaching with Kerstin Resources & Recommendations Vita Hustle Protein or https://bit.ly/KERSTIN20 Use code KERSTIN20 for 20% off your first order Dr. Denese Skincare – Use code STREST Living Fearless by Jamie Winship Identity Exchange Finding Hope in Depression (Free 21-Day Course) Through Gates of Splendor by Elisabeth Elliot Connect with Donna Winship Instagram: @thedonnawinship Website: identityexchange.com Amazon Resources: Jamie & Donna’s Recommended Reads More about Kerstin Website: kerstin-lindquist.com Instagram: @kerstin.lindquist Facebook: Kerstin Lindquist YouTube: @Kerstin.lindquist TikTok: @kerstin.lindquist Production, Distribution, and Marketing By Massif Studio & Production & The Tallawah Group Website: www.massifsp.com LinkedIn: Massif Studio & Production Website: www.TallawahWorldwide.com LinkedIn: The Tallawah Group For inquiries about sponsoring the podcast, email hello@MassifKroo.com.

    May 6 2025
    This is StRest! In this episode, Kerstin Lindquist tackles one of the most asked questions from her audience: How do I stop worrying so much—especially when I know God is in control? This is more than a mindset issue. For many women in their 40s, 50s, and 60s, worry is the symptom of a deeper hormonal, emotional, and spiritual imbalance. Kerstin unpacks the connection between anxiety and midlife biology, explaining how stress, sleep, nutrition, and modern life disrupt our natural rhythms. But this episode doesn’t stop at health science. Kerstin brings it all back to the Word, teaching why control is not a biblical concept and how peace comes from practicing presence and surrender—not hustle and planning. You’ll also learn about magnesium types, castor oil for inflammation and endometriosis, the power of rucking, and the underestimated strength of walking with God in every season of life. With practical tips, personal stories, and biblical truth, this episode is a lifeline for anyone trying to do too much, feel better, and trust deeper.
