🎙 [57 ] | [Inflammation: The Surprise Hidden Load Really Draining Your Body ]

Inflammation can quietly build over time, becoming a hidden load the body keeps trying to carry. In this episode, we explore the signs of chronic inflammation—exhaustion that doesn’t make sense, recurring gut issues, brain fog, anxiety spikes, and that quiet sense of “I don’t feel like myself.” I share the Rain Barrel picture—how stress, chemicals, trauma, pace, and medication history drip into the body until it overflows. Not because you’re weak—but because your body has been protecting you for a long time. The gentle work is learning to release that load little by little with nourishment, safer swaps, and slower rhythms. You can find the full blog summary and linked research at BecomingNatural.com.

Mentioned in this episode:

LUMEBOX — the red-light therapy panel I use at home and talk about all the time — is 50% off today only.
Yes… I said half. off.
This is their lowest price of the year — even better than Black Friday. Now listen… this time of year can feel heavy.
The days get darker, our schedules get fuller, and our bodies kind of whisper “I need a minute.” Red light therapy is like sunlight’s warm encouragement, without the UV. It reminds your cells how to breathe again.
And I don’t mean that in a fluffy wellness-speak way. I mean literally — red light helps your mitochondria do what God designed them to do: make energy, repair tissue, reduce inflammation. Your body is incredibly wise. Sometimes it just needs a little nudge of light. Here’s what I notice when I use mine: My skin looks more alive again.
Not filtered. Not complicated. Just… awake. Stiff joints?
They don’t grip me as hard in the morning. Energy + mood?
It gives me the exhale I didn’t realize I was holding. And if you’re a mom, an athlete, or honestly just a woman awake in 2025… you don’t have time to feel sore or drained for days. This is a gentle, daily reset. 6–12 minutes — right in your home — and you feel it. Also… gifting idea?
This is the one they’ll actually use.
And remember how scripture says, “Let there be light”? — sometimes light is

🎙 [56 ] | [Folate vs Folic Acid: Recommended Nutrient Withheld that Women Need to Know ]

Folate vs Folic Acid — Two names that sound the same, yet lead the body in very different directions. Today, we’re slowing down to understand why this matters, especially for women. Our bodies were designed to use folate — Vitamin B9 found in leafy greens, lentils, eggs, citrus, and liver. But most processed foods and many prenatal vitamins use folic acid, a synthetic form that must be converted before the body can use it. And for up to 40–60% of women, that conversion doesn’t happen efficiently.

This episode explains what happens when folic acid builds up in the bloodstream, why methylation (your body’s “on/off switch”) matters for hormones, mood, detox, fertility, and nervous system health, and what to do if your body has been quietly struggling to keep up.

This is not about panic, perfection, or pressure. It’s about recognizing that your body is brilliantly designed — and sometimes it simply needs nutrients in the form God originally created.

We’ll explore:

• Folate vs folic acid (what’s the difference?)
• The MTHFR gene and why conversion matters
• Gentle ways to support methylation without overwhelm
• Foods rich in natural folate you can begin adding today

You are not behind. Your body is not broken.

Restoration is already happening.
