SHOW NOTES:In this episode, we’re talking about Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs) and why they can be a powerful learning tool for non-diabetic women who feel tired, inflamed, anxious, or stuck in their health.
A CGM doesn’t just show a number. It shows patterns. How your body responds to food, stress, sleep, movement, and even emotions. And often, those patterns tell a story long before standard labs ever raise a red flag.
We’ll cover:
What a CGM is and how it actually works
How to apply a CGM
Why blood sugar regulation matters even without a diabetes diagnosis
What CGMs can reveal about metabolism, hormones, and nervous system health
How to use CGM data
This conversation is about stewardship, not control. Awareness, not anxiety. And learning how to listen to the body God designed with clarity and grace.
Whether you’re curious about trying a CGM or simply want to better understand how blood sugar impacts energy, mood, and long-term health, this episode will give you a grounded place to start.

We…YOU… need to focus on mineral rich foods and daily immune supportive nutrients. Now your body can do more with real food than it can do with supplements.

However, we live in a world where our food is not as nutrient. Rich as it used to be, especially if you’re buying just from conventional grocery stores and things like that. So I’m gonna go through some different vitamins and minerals that you need to make sure you’re getting plenty of. I’m gonna give you some natural sources for those foods, and then also some recommendations about supplementing if you need to.

All right. Thing one, vitamin C. Not a surprise. I know you know that vitamin C is. Not something your body can naturally make on its own. And so it is something that you must make sure you are getting daily. Your white blood cells accumulate high concentrations of vitamin C to be able to functional function properly, and vitamin C neutralizes oxidative stress, which increases during infection.

Your gut houses 70%, 60 to 70% of your immune system. Okay? Beneficial bacteria influence the activity of your immune system all over your body, your mucosal immunity, your inflammation regulation, and your pathogen defenses. Dysbiosis. Dysbiosis means that the balance is off in your gut. It weakens the immune system and it increases your susceptibility to getting sick. So probiotics and fermented foods strengthen the gut barrier.

They tighten the tight junction so that the, any leakiness or things like that are reduced, they reduces, which then reduces systemic inflammation. They increase the production of secretory IGA, which is a critical antibody that guards respiratory and digestive mucosa. Interestingly enough, you know what else increases sIGA? Laughter. Laughing increases sIGA. So not only do you need these things, you need some laughter and some levity in your life, so keep that in mind.

Your body is not a protocol.
Your pregnancy is not a checklist.
And you do not work for a practice.

You are allowed to ask questions.
You are allowed to decline.
You are allowed to choose what is right for you and your baby.

Medical freedom is not rebellion. It’s stewardship.
It’s discernment.
It’s knowing that recommendations are not requirements… and consent is not a formality.

If you need a reminder of your God-given authority as a woman and mother, this week’s podcast episode will steady your spine and soften your spirit.
Come listen. 🎧🤍

“Vitamin D functions more like a hormone than a vitamin. It regulates over 200 genes involved in immune defense. Not to mention it plays a role in things like fertility and lots of other essential functions of your life. You need plenty of vitamin D. Um, immune cells require vitamin D to be able to activate themselves properly and low.

Vitamin D correlates with the dramatically increased susceptibility, susceptibility to respiratory viruses. It modulates your immune response and helps prevent overactive inflammation. It enhances your innate immunity by. Boosting frontline defenses. The moment the virus first enters your body.”

More from the - hear it all on Episode 172!

Maternal mortality did not significantly decline between 1915 and 1930. Despite more hospital births, more prenatal care, and more aseptic technique, meaning keeping things sterile and clean. Infant deaths from birth injuries actually increased by 40 to 50%.

Between 1915 and 1929 because of excessively or poorly performed interventions, things like those forceps that I talked about a minute ago, those things caused deaths because these doctors didn’t know what they were doing. In other words, moving birth into the hospital, put doctors in charge.

But it didn’t automatically make it safer, especially in the early decades. It often meant just more intervention, more trauma, and more risk, particularly for women whose bodies might have done just fine with skilled physiologic support from midwives.

Do you ever wonder how things got where they are, how we got to the point where everything medicalized seems to be all that’s accepted and trying to do anything natural makes you feel like you’re a villain, either in birth or just in wellness in general? Well, today I wanna take you back a little over a hundred years to a document that almost nobody talks about, but every one of us living.

Lives with the consequences of, it’s called the Flexner Reporter. At least that’s what it’s commonly known by. It was published in 1910, and it is, it completely reshaped everything about our medical system. It changed how doctors were trained, what kind of medicine counts. Who gets to be a doctor and how birth moved from home into the hospital.

If you’ve ever wondered why natural medicine is treated like quackery, why midwives and home births were completely wiped off the map, essentially, and while your doctor might have, you know, three, four. Five minutes with you in an appointment and no time to talk about nutrition. If you’ve wondered why you feel like a number or a problem instead of a whole person, this episode is going to give you a huge aha moment.

Hey friend! I’m Lori — 43 years old, wife, mama of 4 (one in Heaven), midwife, birth ju**ie, and the woman who somehow learned the hard way how messed up her health actually was....and healed it….naturally.

I became a Christian at 16 and have followed Jesus, imperfectly, ever since.

Somewhere between drive-thru dinners, sleep deficit, and hustling through life like it was normal, I realized nothing about the “normal” path was actually making me healthy… or holy. I needed God. A lot.

I married my husband in the most “God is wild” storyline ever — and 13+ years later we’re still here, still laughing, and still raising babies who keep us humble and sanctified daily. 🙃

I’m a health coach & midwife who loves God’s design, physiology, birth freedom, and biblical wisdom as much as I love a good long walk and a pair of sweatpants that have seen better days.

Crunchy? Yes.

Dogmatic? Not even a little.

Will definitely talk you into a CGM and beef liver? 100%.

I’m here because I care deeply about women — your health, your hormones, your nervous system, your birth, your motherhood, and your whole self.

I want to help you reframe the lies you’ve believed about your body so you can walk in the freedom God designed for you.

If you’re NOT new here — I adore you. Thank you for being in this space with me.

If you ARE new — buckle up.

It’s real, it’s deep, it’s occasionally weird, and it’s always centered on truth, hope, and God’s beautiful plan for your health.

You’ll find helpful highlights, blog posts, and my podcast here to keep you grounded, encouraged, and reminded that health is holy… and joy is allowed.

Welcome, sister. 💛🌿

You’re not crazy. You’re bumping up against this system designed over a hundred years ago with very specific priorities and you’re flourishing as a whole person. Body and soul was not at the top of that list. In fact, it was nowhere on the list at all.

They weren’t concerned about it. They were concerned about their new technology that they wanted you to believe was better ‘cause they stood to profit from it. Now, I always wanna bring everything that we talk about in this podcast back to the Lord. God is not anti-science. God is the author of truth, but scripture calls us to things like discernment.

Proverbs 15:14 says, the discerning heart seeks knowledge. Wisdom, not just information, but applying the information and the knowledge that we get to the decisions that we make.

Stop treating your child’s fever or your fever just because it exists. Your fever is there as a part of God‘s built in immune system. He put it there for a reason and it has a job to do so when you treat it just because it exists, you are actually undermining your immune system’s ability to do what it is designed to do learn more about why natural remedies have been made to seem like quackery and why pharmaceutical treatments are the norm in this week’s episode of “if Mama ain’t healthy ain’t nobody healthy”
