In today’s episode, I’m diving deeper into what functional wellness actually means — and why I believe it aligns perfectly with God’s design for our bodies.

Functional health isn’t just about nutrition or hormone balancing — it’s about understanding that your body was created with wisdom and the ability to heal, if we give it the right environment.

I walk through how stress, sleep, toxins, gut health, and spiritual depletion all contribute to the symptoms we’ve normalized — and why so many Christian women in leadership are running on empty, feeling like their bodies are broken.

You are not broken. You are brilliantly made. And there’s a better way forward.

I hope this episode blesses you!

In this episode, I’m opening up and sharing something personal — the why behind my decision to pursue certification as a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner.

Over the past few years, I’ve watched my husband’s health slowly decline. And these last couple of months? They’ve been especially hard. He’s been dealing with ongoing lung issues, chronic fatigue, and an overall sense that his body just isn’t bouncing back — no matter what medications he tries or how much rest he gets.

As a wife, a healthcare provider, and a woman of faith, it’s been painful to feel so limited in how I can help. But it’s also been the spark that’s lit a fire in me to dig deeper — to go beyond symptom management and get to the root of what’s really going on.

In this episode, I share my heart, my frustration, and the moment I realized our bodies — created by God — are designed to heal, if we give them the right environment. That’s the foundation of functional health, and it’s why I believe so deeply in this next chapter of my calling.

If you’re walking through a similar season — watching someone you love struggle, feeling like traditional approaches just aren’t cutting it — I hope this episode brings you comfort, encouragement, and a new perspective on what’s possible.

Topics covered in this episode:

• My husband’s recent health struggles and what they’ve revealed
• Why over-the-counter and prescription meds aren’t always the answer
• How chronic stress impacts the immune system, hormones, and healing
• Why I believe in the God-designed intelligence of the body
• What functional health really means and how it aligns with faith
• An invitation to pause, reflect, and consider a better way forward

I hope this episode blesses you!

Tanya

In this episode of The Grace-Filled Leader podcast, we dive into the gut-brain connection and how it impacts your energy, focus, and emotional resilience as a Christian woman in leadership. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, foggy, or emotionally drained, it might not just be stress—it could be your gut health quietly sabotaging your leadership.

Tanya explores how chronic stress disrupts gut function, leads to leaky gut, and contributes to fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, and burnout. You’ll hear why your gut is more than just a digestive organ—it’s your "second brain," designed by God to communicate with your mind and body through the gut-brain axis.

We go over practical functional wellness tips, and equip you with steps to begin healing your gut, reclaim your energy, and step into your leadership role with renewed vitality.

If you’re a Christian woman juggling leadership, faith, family, and wellness, this episode will show you how to steward your health God’s way—because thriving leaders create thriving teams.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

• How the gut-brain connection affects your leadership capacity
• How stress creates inflammation and leads to gut imbalances
• Symptoms of poor gut health (that you might be ignoring)
• How gut issues drive mood swings, anxiety, and energy crashes
• Actionable, faith-centered strategies to restore gut health

I hope this episode blesses you!

Tanya
