    Why Change Feels Hard When You’re Exhausted
    Jan 29 2026
    Exhaustion is often mistaken for laziness or lack of discipline—but it’s usually a sign of depletion. In this episode, we explore why change feels so hard when the body is running on empty and how prolonged stress drains the capacity needed for healing.
    Using the story of Elijah, listeners will see how God restored energy before addressing calling and why fuel must come before force. This episode introduces the Energy pillar of Living F.R.E.S.H., reframing fatigue without shame and offering a wiser path to sustainable, whole-body health.

  • Why You’re Not Broken: The Foundation for Lasting Health

    Why You’re Not Broken: The Foundation for Lasting Health
    Jan 15 2026
    Most people don’t fail at health because they lack discipline. They fail because their bodies are under chronic stress.

  • Thyroid or Adrenals? The Real Reason You’re So Tired

    Thyroid or Adrenals? The Real Reason You’re So Tired
    Jan 1 2026
    Chronic fatigue is one of the most common complaints among women, especially after the holidays. But is it really your thyroid?
    In this episode, Dr. Kris explains how adrenal stress and disrupted cortisol rhythms can interfere with thyroid function, leaving women exhausted even when lab tests appear normal. You’ll learn how to recognize adrenal-driven fatigue, why January “resets” often backfire, and how rest and nourishment are essential for healing.
    God designed the body to restore — not to live in survival mode.

  • GLP-1s, Muscle Loss, and Midlife Metabolism: A Faith-Centered Conversation About Safer Weight Loss

    GLP-1s, Muscle Loss, and Midlife Metabolism: A Faith-Centered Conversation About Safer Weight Loss
    Dec 25 2025
    GLP-1 medications are everywhere—and yes, they work. But at what cost, especially for women in perimenopause and postmenopause?
    In this episode of Spark Faith, Dr. Kris Sargeant sits down with Jo Hosen from Ortho Molecular Products for an honest, grace-filled conversation about GLP-1s, rapid weight loss, and the often-overlooked consequences for muscle, metabolism, hormones, and long-term health. This is not a fear-based discussion and not medical advice—it’s about informed stewardship of the body God designed.
    Together, they explore why muscle is your metabolism, how rapid weight loss can accelerate muscle loss and insulin resistance, and why weight loss that sacrifices muscle may create long-term metabolic liability—especially for women over 40. They also discuss what we still don’t know about long-term GLP-1 use, including impacts on mood, nutrient status, metabolic rate, and body composition.
    Dr. Kris shares a muscle-first, faith-anchored approach to sustainable weight loss that prioritizes protein, resistance training, metabolic health, and personalization over quick fixes. The conversation also introduces appetite-modulating, non-starvation support options and explains why professional-grade supplements matter when absorption, quality, and clinical relevance are on the line.
    If you’re navigating weight changes in midlife, feeling pressured by social media trends, or wondering whether GLP-1s are right for you, this episode will help you move from fear to wisdom—and from forcing the body into submission to supporting it back into balance.

    Dec 18 2025

  • The Physiology of Forgiveness: Why Your Body Feels What Your Heart Carries

    The Physiology of Forgiveness: Why Your Body Feels What Your Heart Carries
    Dec 11 2025
    Forgiveness frees your body as much as your soul. In this powerful episode, Dr. Kris Sargent shows how emotional pain, resentment, and old wounds keep the body locked in chronic stress — driving inflammation, hormone imbalance, digestive issues, weight gain, and weakened immunity.
    You’ll discover the science behind bitterness and the healing that happens when the nervous system finally feels safe enough to let go. Kris blends functional medicine, Scripture, and neuroscience to teach a practical 5-step forgiveness framework that helps you release the debt without excusing harmful behavior or forcing reconciliation.
    If you’re ready to reclaim energy, peace, and emotional clarity — and honor God by stewarding your body well — this episode is for you.
