*Ranked Top 3% Podcast Globally* Are you tired of feeling like your life is on hold until you finally heal from chronic illness? Do you feel like you've tried everything and you're still not getting better? Are you exhausted from chasing answers, jumping from protocol to protocol, and overwhelmed by conflicting health advice? Are you frustrated by symptoms that won't go away and worried this might just be your new normal? Have you ever wondered if there's a way to pursue natural healing without fear, confusion, or putting your entire life on hold until you finally feel better? If so, you're in the right place. Welcome to Faith-Filled Healing—the weekly Christian health podcast where faith and functional medicine come together to help women uncover the root causes of chronic illness while keeping Christ at the center. Each week, you'll learn why your body is struggling and how to support its God-designed healing processes through a faith-filled, root-cause approach so you can move forward in your healthing journey with greater clarity, confidence, and peace. We'll explore topics like root cause healing, detox, gut health, chemical sensitivity, functional medicine, autoimmune conditions, hormones, nervous system healing, inflammation, environmental toxins, toxic load, mold illness, parasites, pathogens, and practical ways to care for your body the way God designed it. But we'll also talk about the deeper issues many health podcasts never address: fear, striving, suffering, surrender, contentment, identity in Christ, and how to trust God when healing isn't happening on your timeline. I'm Sarah Phillipe—a former Registered Nurse, Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, Board-Certified Holistic Health Practitioner, wife, and most importantly, a follower of Jesus. For years, I struggled with chronic illness, chronic fatigue, anxiety, inflammation, hormonal imbalance, breast implant illness, endometriosis, infertility, and a long list of unanswered questions. Like so many women, I spent years searching for answers, trying protocols, and wondering why I still didn't feel like myself. What I eventually discovered is that healing is about more than finding the right supplement or the next missing piece. And it isn't about striving for perfect health—it's about faithfully stewarding the body God entrusted to you while trusting Him with the outcome. Today, I help Christian women uncover what's really driving their symptoms and invite them into a different way of pursuing health—one rooted in biblical wisdom, practical stewardship, and a whole-person approach that honors body, mind, and spirit. If you're ready to move beyond symptom management, understand why your body is struggling in the first place, and embark on a health journey to wellness that keeps Christ at the center, this podcast is for you. So grab your coffee, open your Bible, head out for a walk, or settle into your favorite chair. Let's pursue natural healing with wisdom, steward our bodies faithfully, and trust God with the outcome—together. https://sarahphillipe.com/

    14 | Can Prayer Regulate Your Nervous System? Faith, Anxiety & the Body with Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge

    Can prayer regulate your nervous system—and if you still feel anxious after praying, does that mean your faith is weak? In this episode of Faith-Filled Healing, Sarah Phillipe sits down with nervous system and emotional dysregulation expert Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge to explore the relationship between prayer, anxiety, chronic stress, and nervous system regulation.  You’ll learn what happens when the body becomes stuck in fight-or-flight, how dysregulation affects attention, emotions, relationships, and our felt experience of faith, and why spiritual peace and physiological calm are not always the same thing. You can genuinely trust God and experience the peace of the Holy Spirit while your nervous system is still learning how to recover from stress. Dr. Roseann explains how prayer and practical regulation tools can work together, why a dysregulated brain may struggle to concentrate or take in reassurance, and how repeated Christ-centered practices such as prayer, Scripture, worship, rest, breathwork, and journaling can help teach the body to recognize safety over time. You’ll also hear a simple regulation practice you can use when you feel anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in survival mode. This conversation will help you stop interpreting nervous system dysregulation as a spiritual failure and begin caring for your body as an act of faithful stewardship.   Learn more about Dr. Roseann and her book The Dysregulated Kid:  The Parenting Playbook for Helping Your Child Find Calm: drroseann.com/dysregulatedkid And don't forget to check out her podcast, Dysregulated Kids: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dysregulated-kids-science-backed-parenting-help-for/id1661843985   Take the free Toxic Load Assessment + Masterclass: sarahphillipe.com/resources/toxic-load-assessment

    13 | Mineral Deficiency: The Missing Link in Chronic Illness, Thyroid & Fatigue

    Could mineral deficiency be sabotaging your healing journey? If you've cleaned up your diet, supported your gut, prioritized your nervous system, and still struggle with fatigue, brain fog, thyroid symptoms, or low energy, your body may simply be missing the raw materials it needs to heal.  In this episode of Faith-Filled Healing, Sarah Phillipe explains why minerals are one of the most overlooked foundations of root-cause healing and why nearly every woman shows signs of mineral depletion. You'll learn how minerals support your nervous system, hormones, thyroid, detoxification, and energy production—and why even the best healing protocol can stall when these essential building blocks are missing. In this episode, you'll learn: Why mineral deficiency is so common today How chronic stress, toxins, pregnancy, and modern lifestyles deplete essential minerals The role of magnesium, sodium, potassium, zinc, selenium, iodine, and other key minerals Five common signs your body may be depleted Why balancing minerals is more important than simply taking supplements The difference between intracellular and serum nutrient testing Practical ways to begin supporting your body's mineral status naturally If you're navigating chronic illness, thyroid dysfunction, adrenal fatigue, nervous system dysregulation, or persistent exhaustion, this episode will help you understand why minerals may be the foundation your body has been missing. 🎁 Download the free Toxic Load Assessment & Masterclass at sarahphillipe.com/resources/toxic-load-assessment to discover which foundational areas may be contributing to your symptoms and learn where to begin your root-cause healing journey.

    12 | Designed to Heal But Not the Healer: Biblical Nervous System Regulation

    You've heard the promise everywhere: regulate your nervous system and you'll finally heal. But not every path to a calm body leads to Jesus — and some of the most popular nervous system programs are quietly discipling Christian women away from Him. In this episode of Faith-Filled Healing, Sarah Phillipe goes deep into a biblical framework for nervous system regulation, vagus nerve health, and somatic healing — grounded in four non-negotiable truths: God designed your body to heal, the Fall limits that design, all healing is His to give, and worship belongs to the Creator, not the creation. You'll learn: Why your body's drive toward homeostasis is God's engineering, not your power The Three-Doorway Spectrum: Christ-centered vs. Self-centered vs. Self-as-God approaches to healing How to spot the "counterfeit peace" pattern in trauma-informed, somatic, and manifestation-based programs • The real difference between physiological regulation (parasympathetic activation) and spiritual peace (Christ's presence) Christ-centered tools that steward your nervous system without making healing an idol — breath prayer, Scripture meditation, orienting, and communion 5 discernment questions to evaluate any wellness program, coach, or protocol Why the "angel of light" warning in 2 Corinthians 11 applies directly to modern nervous system work This is the episode to send every Christian woman navigating chronic illness, functional medicine, trauma healing, and the wellness world.   🎁 Download the free Toxic Load Assessment & Masterclass at sarahphillipe.com/resources/toxic-load-assessment to discover which foundational areas may be contributing to your symptoms and learn where to begin your root-cause healing journey.

    11 | Nervous System Regulation: The Missing Key to Healing Chronic Illness

    Have you cleaned up your diet, taken the supplements, supported your gut, and followed all the "right" protocols—yet you still don't feel better? The missing piece in healing chronic illness may not be another supplement. It may be your nervous system. In this episode of Faith-Filled Healing, Sarah Phillipe explains why nervous system  regulation is one of the most overlooked foundations of root-cause healing. When your body is stuck in survival mode, it prioritizes protection over repair—making it difficult to heal your gut, balance hormones, detox effectively, reduce inflammation, or restore energy. You'll learn: What nervous system dysregulation actually is The difference between survival mode and true safety How chronic stress impacts gut health, hormones, immune function, and detoxification Common signs your nervous system may be stuck in fight-or-flight Why healing protocols often stall when the nervous system is overlooked Simple, practical ways to begin supporting your nervous system naturally A biblical perspective on finding true rest, peace, and healing through Christ If you've been wondering why your body isn't responding despite doing "everything right," this episode will help you understand the foundation that may be quietly influencing every other aspect of your healing journey. 🎁 Download the free Toxic Load Assessment & Masterclass at sarahphillipe.com/resources/toxic-load-assessment to discover which foundational areas may be contributing to your symptoms and learn where to begin your root-cause healing journey.

    Have you been trying to heal your gut with supplements, probiotics, collagen, or elimination diets—but you're still dealing with bloating, food sensitivities, fatigue, brain fog, inflammation, or other chronic symptoms? In this episode of Faith-Filled Healing, Sarah Phillipe explains why most gut healing protocols fail—not because you're doing the wrong things, but because you're doing them in the wrong order. Using the same framework she teaches her one-on-one clients, Sarah walks through the foundational steps that prepare the body for true gut healing, helping you understand why lasting healing requires more than simply taking another supplement. You'll learn: How to heal leaky gut using a root-cause, functional medicine approach Why drainage pathways and nervous system regulation come before gut repair The biggest mistakes that keep women stuck in chronic gut healing cycles Why elimination diets and probiotics aren't always the best place to start How digestion, inflammation, toxic load, and gut health work together A faith-filled perspective on slowing down, trusting God's design, and stewarding your body with wisdom If you've been wondering why your gut still isn't healing despite trying "all the right things," this episode will give you a practical framework that replaces confusion with clarity. 🎁 Download the free Toxic Load Assessment & Masterclass at sarahphillipe.com/resources/toxic-load-assessment to discover which foundational areas may be keeping your body from healing and learn where to begin your healing journey.

    09 | Could Leaky Gut Be Causing Your Anxiety, Brain Fog, & Fatigue?

    Could leaky gut be driving your anxiety, brain fog, and chronic fatigue—even without digestive symptoms? In this episode of Faith-Filled Healing, Sarah Phillipe explores the gut-brain axis. While many people associate poor gut health with bloating, diarrhea, SIBO symptoms, and other digestive symptoms, a compromised gut lining can contribute to symptoms throughout the entire body, including hormone imbalances, autoimmune conditions, food sensitivities, systemic inflammation, skin problems, mood changes, and more. Discover why conventional medicine misses this connection and how a faith-based, root-cause approach reveals the true source of your exhaustion. You'll learn: What leaky gut is and why it matters The surprising symptoms that often point back to gut health How toxic load, chronic stress, infections, medications, and environmental exposures can damage the gut lining Why gut healing protocols often fail when foundational issues are overlooked How your gut, immune system, brain, and hormones are deeply connected A faith-filled perspective on caring for the body God designed If you've been bouncing between specialists while wondering why no one can connect the dots, this episode will give you a new lens for understanding your symptoms—and renewed hope that your body is telling a coherent story. 🎁 Download the free Toxic Load Assessment & Masterclass at sarahphillipe.com/resources/toxic-load-assessment to discover which foundational areas may be contributing to your symptoms and begin your healing journey with greater clarity.

    08 | The Parasite Cleanse Mistake Keeping Women Stuck in Chronic Illness

    Is a parasite cleanse actually helping—or could it be making your symptoms worse? In this episode of Faith-Filled Healing, Sarah Phillipe unpacks one of the most talked-about topics in functional medicine and holistic health: parasite cleanses. While parasites can absolutely play a role in chronic illness, many women jump into aggressive cleanse protocols before their bodies are prepared—leading to worsening fatigue, brain fog, digestive issues, inflammation, anxiety, and detox reactions. You'll learn: Whether parasites may be contributing to chronic symptoms Why parasite cleanses often backfire The importance of drainage pathways before any detox protocol How liver function, gut health, minerals, and the nervous system affect detox The order of healing that supports lasting results instead of unnecessary setbacks How God's design for the body reveals wisdom, patience, and faithful stewardship throughout the healing journey If you've been wondering whether a parasite cleanse is your next step, this episode will help you make that decision with confidence instead of fear. 🎁 Download the free Toxic Load Assessment & Masterclass at sarahphillipe.com/resources/toxic-load-assessment to uncover hidden stressors that may be burdening your body's natural detoxification pathways and discover where your healing journey should begin.

In this episode of Faith-Filled Healing, Sarah Phillipe breaks down one of the most misunderstood topics in functional medicine: liver detoxification.
