71. Breaking Free from Medical Pressure: Practical Steps to Advocate for Your Health with Kristin Fitch

Have you ever walked into a doctor’s office already anxious, only to feel pressured into signing forms, taking medications, or agreeing to treatments that didn’t sit right in your spirit? If you’ve ever felt dismissed, overwhelmed, or even coerced by the medical system—you’re not alone. In this episode, I sit down with transformation coach, author, and podcaster Kristin Fitch, who knows firsthand what it’s like to face medical pressure and choose faith over fear. From standing up for her family when doctors pushed unnecessary vaccines to navigating her father’s health journey with Parkinson’s, Kristin has lived through the tension of medical coercion—and come out with a renewed passion for helping others protect their health, their families, and their faith. We dive into the practical steps you can take to become your own health advocate: How to prepare for appointments so you don’t feel rushed or silenced. The questions you must ask before agreeing to medication or treatment. Why your mindset and words matter more than you think for your healing. Simple daily practices that build real health without overcomplicating it. If you’ve ever felt powerless in a medical setting, this conversation will remind you that you don’t have to hand over your authority. You’ll walk away encouraged, equipped, and ready to step into your role as your own best advocate—rooted in faith, guided by wisdom, and aligned with the life God designed for you.   Connect with Kristin: Website: https://KristinFitch.com Faith Fueled Woman Podcast Building a Life You Love Podcast Email: [email protected] Instagram: https:instagram.com/kristinfitch   Next Steps: Start with phototherapy: susangladstein.com/phototherapy Go deeper with The Rooted Reset™: susangladstein.com/reset Join us in Costa Rica for the Rooted Reset Retreat 2026: susangladstein.com/retreat Join the Faith Over Pharma community: faithoverpharma.org Connect on Instagram: @susangladstein.co Get the Faithful in the Wait Devotional: faithfulinthewait.com
