    EP 8 | The Gut–Hormone Connection with Dr. Kristy Van Kirk, MD

    What if many of the symptoms women struggle with — fatigue, mood swings, hormone imbalance, anxiety, and inflammation — could be traced back to the gut? In this episode of The Quiet Strength Podcast, Elizabeth Poe sits down with Dr. Kristy Van Kirk, a board-certified OB-GYN turned integrative health physician, to unpack why gut health is truly the foundation of overall wellness. Together, they explore the gut-brain connection, the real root causes of chronic constipation and diarrhea, how stress disrupts digestion, and why quick fixes often keep women stuck in frustrating cycles. If you’re ready to better understand your body and take simple, sustainable steps toward feeling your best, this conversation will leave you informed, encouraged, and empowered.

    EP 7 | Hard Mornings, Soft Hearts: A Parenting Confession for Moms

    Parenting has a way of revealing what’s really going on in our hearts — especially on hard mornings with kids. In this episode, I share a personal confession about how much my mood, routine, and impatience can shape the atmosphere of our home. When my carefully planned mornings fall apart, I’ve learned that my patience often goes with them — and my children feel it. Through reflection, Scripture, and the gentle conviction of the Lord, I talk about the importance of self-examination in parenting, the power of encouragement, and how our children often mirror what they see in us. We explore why routines are good, but cannot become rulers — and why humility, repentance, and grace matter more than perfectly smooth mornings. This episode is an invitation to slow down, look inward, and remember that while we parent imperfectly, God is faithfully at work — shaping our hearts as much as our children’s.

    EP 6.2 | When PMS Is More Than PMS: Understanding PMDD | with Tristen Wilson

    Many women are told that severe mood changes before their period are “just PMS”—but for some, it’s much more than that. In this episode, we break down the difference between PMS (Premenstrual Syndrome) and PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder), including symptoms, severity, and how these conditions impact mental health and daily functioning. I’m joined by Tristen Wilson, a psychology major at Sam Houston State University, to discuss how hormonal changes affect mood, why PMDD is often misunderstood or misdiagnosed, and what treatment and support options are available. Our goal is to bring clarity, validation, and education to women who may feel dismissed or confused by their symptoms—and to remind you that help is available and you’re not overreacting. https://sermons.northwoodspca.org/?powerpress_pinw=4843-podcast
