61. Healing God's Way: The Biblical, Brain-Based Method to Break Free from Chronic Stress with Kathryn McAdam

What if the real reason you're not healing has nothing to do with your willpower… and everything to do with the wiring of your brain and your beliefs about God? In this powerful episode, I’m joined by Kathryn McAdam, a board-certified nurse practitioner and functional medicine expert, who shares her incredible journey from homelessness, trauma, and burnout to vibrant health and unshakable faith. Together, we explore how chronic stress, emotional wounds, and spiritual lies can keep women trapped in cycles of sickness—and how God offers a better way. You’ll hear how Kathryn combines biblical truth with science-backed tools to help women retrain their brains, heal their bodies, and reclaim their identity in Christ. We dive deep into the nocebo effect, biblical neuroplasticity, and a concept Kathryn calls “Theo-stacking”—a simple but powerful shift that brings your mind, body, and spirit into alignment with God’s design. If you’ve ever felt dismissed by doctors, stuck in survival mode, or wondered if God really wants you well… this episode will speak straight to your soul.
