2026/10/08

What if the reaction you keep having today actually started years ago? Maybe someone looks at you a certain way and you immediately assume you did something wrong. Maybe you pull away before someone has the chance to reject you. Maybe you keep telling yourself you are “fine,” while resentment, shame, anger, or hurt keeps building underneath the surface. In this episode, Dr. Brook is joined again by her friend Victoria Lane for a conversation about the parts of health that often get overlo...

What happens when the life you worked so hard to build looks good on paper, but no longer feels right? Katie Pulsifer knows that feeling well. For years, she did what so many high-achieving women learn to do: follow the rules, be dependable, take care of everyone else, and keep pushing forward. Then in her mid-40s, the life she had built started unraveling. Her marriage ended. Her corporate career no longer felt right. And for the first time, she had to ask herself a question she had spen...

What happens when the life you worked so hard to build no longer feels like where God is asking you to stay? Melissa Wilkinson knows that tension well. She has walked away from a six-figure corporate career, built a successful direct sales business, stepped away from that too, worked in ministry, experienced burnout, and repeatedly found herself asking God the same question: What is my next right step? In this episode, Melissa joins Dr. Brook for a conversation about purpose, burnout, big dre...

You have had that day. Nothing catastrophic happened, but by 4pm you are done. A text irritates you out of nowhere. You said yes to something you did not want to do. You pushed through hunger for the third time this week. In this episode Dr. Brook shares three nervous system strategies that go past the usual advice of breathwork and grounding, because those tools can calm your body for a moment without ever reaching what is actually underneath the stress. The first strategy is saying the thi...

You can be doing everything right and still not feel like yourself. That's the conversation Dr. Brook has with Ariana Thacker, a chemical engineer, venture capitalist, and founder of MoldCo, a health tech platform built after her own health crashed from hidden mold exposure. Ariana shares what her recovery actually looked like, from unexplained brain fog and hair loss to gut issues and fatigue, and how she eventually traced it back to mold hiding in her HVAC system. They talk about the enviro...

Dr. Brook Sheehan sits down with Cassandra McKenney, a fitness coach and registered nurse whose fourteen-year health journey took her from a controlled, obsessive relationship with food and exercise to a place of genuine peace in her body. Cassandra opens up about the eating disorder that began in middle school, the years-long binge and restrict cycle that followed, and how chasing the "right" protocol, the right supplement, the right test, and the right coach never actually gave her what she...

Beyond Wellness Culture, Women Over 40, Nervous... ·

2026/08/27

This episode closes out the four-part Body Theology series with the topic Dr. Brook has found hardest to live out herself: rest. For weeks this series has built the case that the body was designed with intention, and this final piece asks whether we actually believe it. If optimization without reverence can slide into idolatry, then rest is the practice that proves whether that belief is real or just something we say. Dr. Brook walks through the biblical foundation for rest, starting in Genes...

In part three of the Body Theology series, Dr. Brook Sheehan takes us back to Leviticus to look at something most of us have never studied closely: the internal organs God asked the Israelites to set apart in their offerings. Not the visible parts. Not the parts anyone could evaluate from the outside. The kidneys, the liver, the hidden fat and connective tissue. This detail alone says something about how your body has always been regarded, inside and out, as sacred rather than incidental. Th...

2026/08/13

In part two of this four part Body Theology series, Dr. Brook Sheehan takes on a word that shapes so much of modern wellness culture: biohacking. She's honest about her own fifteen year journey through it, from complete disconnection from her body to full blown wellness zealotry, and what she found in the middle ground once she came out the other side. This episode isn't an attack on supplements, wearables, or trackers. Those aren't the villain. What Brook is naming is something subtler, the ...

2026/08/06

Welcome to part one of a four part series called Body Theology, where Dr. Brook Sheehan builds a full biblical foundation for why the way you treat your body actually matters to God. This episode starts at the very beginning, asking a simple but important question: was your body ever the problem in the first place? Drawing from Genesis 1:27 and Psalm 139:14, Brook makes the case that your body was designed with intention, not defaulted into existence, and that listening to it is not in confli...

Dr. Brook sits down with Caroline Alan, co-founder and CEO of BEAM Minerals, to talk about the missing piece so many women overlook when they're exhausted, hormonal, and stuck in a cycle of trying everything without results. Caroline shares her own health story, from an autoimmune condition and mold exposure to flatlined adrenals, chronic insomnia, and years of struggling with fertility, and how she finally found relief not through another protocol but through plant-based minerals. Within mon...

2026/07/23

In this episode, Dr. Brook explores a pattern that shows up far beyond physical health: the instinct to chase certainty by forcing control over symptoms, schedules, relationships, and even rest. Building on the symptom chasing conversation from episode 53, she widens the lens to show how this same instinct drives overworking, overscheduling, obsessively checking bank accounts or social media, and rereading texts before sending them. Underneath every version of this behavior is the same root c...

In this episode of Beyond Wellness Culture, Dr. Brook sits down with Bekah Yawn, a fertility coach, birth doula, and host of the For the Love of Hormones podcast, to talk about natural fertility, hormone health, and the faith journey that runs through all of it. Bekah shares her own story of pregnancy loss, including a fifteen week loss and two chemical pregnancies, and how that season led her to fertility awareness education and hormone coaching. She explains why tracking apps and devices ar...

2026/07/09

In this episode, Dr. Brook unpacks why we've lost the ability to let a symptom just be a symptom, and why that instinct is costing us more peace than the symptom itself ever did. She introduces the idea of a self-limiting symptom, one your body resolves on its own without any intervention from you, and walks through real examples: a fever running its course, a day of loose stool, a stretch of constipation, a headache after stress finally lifts, dizziness from standing up too fast, appetite di...

In this episode, Dr. Brook sits down with her dear friend Victoria Lane, founder of Elephant Buffet Coaching, to unpack one of the most overlooked conversations in the wellness space: micro traumas and why they may be quietly doing more damage than the big ones we can actually name. Victoria brings a unique perspective to this conversation. With seven years of law enforcement experience and three years of leadership and business coaching, she has sat with people in their darkest moments and...

Have you ever woken up feeling off, pushed through the day, and then hit an unexpected wall right around four or five in the evening? You are not imagining it, and you are not falling apart. There is something very real happening in your body, and once you understand it, everything changes. In this episode of Beyond Wellness Culture, Dr. Brook Sheehan breaks down the physiology behind what she calls the evening spiral, that moment when symptoms you were managing just fine seem to pile back on...

2026/06/18

Episode 50 is here — and it's dropping on Dr. Brook Sheehan's 42nd birthday, which makes it extra special. But instead of a celebratory episode, Dr. Brook is doing something far more powerful: getting radically transparent about the debilitating anxiety she walked through for two and a half weeks in May. This isn't a clinical breakdown of anxiety. This is a deeply personal, faith-filled account of what it looks like when someone who knows the body — hormones, cycles, nervous system and all — ...

What if your gallbladder was never the real problem? In this episode of Beyond Wellness Culture, Dr. Brook Sheehan sits down with Jami McQuivey, host of Gallbladder Gone? Now What?, to talk about what women need to know before and after gallbladder removal. Jami shares her personal story of being dismissed by doctors, being told her pain was “all in her head,” having her gallbladder removed, and then getting worse instead of better. What followed was a long road of digestive issues, infection...

What if the reason your body still feels loud is not because you need another supplement, routine, or wellness tool? What if your environment is the missing piece? In this episode of Beyond Wellness Culture, Dr. Brook talks about the environmental inputs that impact your body more than most people realize. Your schedule. Your pace. Your screen time. Your relationships. Your work environment. Your connection with God. All of these can shape how your body responds, heals, and communicates. Insi...
