LISTENER DISCRETION ADVISED

In this powerful episode of Holistic Health with Melissa, I sit down with Ondrea Lynn, author of The Christian Women's Weight Loss Victory Plan and host of the Christian Women's Weight Loss podcast, ranked in the top three percent globally.

Ondrea shares her raw, emotional, and deeply redemptive story of childhood abuse, shame, New Age deception, broken relationships, and decades of trying to heal through diets, fitness, supplements, and self-help. None of it worked until Jesus healed her soul.

Together we talk about:
• How trauma creates unworthiness, shame, and emotional blocks that no diet can fix
• Why so many women stay stuck in yo-yo patterns even when they "do everything right"
• How childhood trauma dysregulates the nervous system and sabotages health
• Ondrea's radical deliverance moment and the instant healing she experienced
• Why emotional healing, deliverance, and nervous system regulation must come before nutrition
• The triune design of God and how spirit, soul, and body must align for true transformation
• The importance of letting Jesus into the places the walls have been built
• How Christian women can rise in their Kingdom assignments when their health is restored

This is one of the most powerful testimony-based episodes yet. If you are carrying trauma, shame, emotional weight, or a cycle of self-sabotage, this conversation will show you what is possible with Jesus and why healing the soul is the missing piece to lasting health.

In this solo episode, Melissa dives deep into why she hates the word "goals" — and why it may be keeping you stuck in frustration, overwhelm, and striving for something that always feels just out of reach. She unpacks the concept from The Gap and the Gain and explains how measuring your life against an idealized future actually robs you of your peace and progress.

Instead, Melissa invites you to replace "goals" with intentions — a shift that anchors you in identity, alignment, and flow instead of force and pressure. You'll learn how to recognize when you're in "the gap," how to return to gratitude and growth, and how to set intentions that come from who you truly are rather than who you think you "should" be.

If you're tired of chasing the next thing and ready to live from intention, identity, and peace — this episode will speak to your soul.

In this powerful episode of Holistic Health with Melissa, Melissa sits down with board-certified nurse practitioner and functional and integrative health specialist, Dacia Woessner, ACNP-BC. Dacia's journey is deeply rooted in faith and grounded in the belief that true healing goes far beyond protocols. She shares how functional medicine, epigenetics, and the Holy Spirit guided her through infertility, multiple miscarriages, grief, and ultimately a restored sense of calling and purpose.

Dacia opens up about her personal story of being told she would never have children, experiencing multiple losses, and how one functional medicine provider changed everything. She now blends science, DNA-based healing, nervous system work, and biblical truth to help women heal from the inside out. This conversation is filled with wisdom for anyone seeking healing, purpose, and alignment with how God divinely designed the body.

In this powerful and emotional episode of Holistic Health with Melissa, Melissa sits down with her dear friend Vika, an integrative health practitioner, mom of two, and advocate for root-cause healing.

Vika opens up about her deeply personal journey from battling Hashimoto's and navigating medical gaslighting to watching her son experience neurological regression and an eventual autism diagnosis. Together, Melissa and Vika explore what happens to a mother's heart and nervous system when her child becomes sick, the trauma of being dismissed by the medical system, and the courage it takes to keep fighting for answers.

They also discuss the tension within the autism community, the need for both acceptance and advocacy, and how faith, resilience, and community can transform pain into purpose. This is a must-listen for any mom who's ever felt unheard, unseen, or unsure where to turn next and a reminder that you're not alone and healing is ALWAYS possible.

In this powerful episode of Holistic Health with Melissa, I sit down with nurse practitioner and women's gut health expert Lindsey Renteria, who shares her journey from decades of digestive issues to complete healing—and how addressing unresolved trauma and nervous system dysregulation was the turning point.

We dive into the deep mind-body connection, how chronic stress and buried emotions can wreak havoc on your gut, and why conventional medicine often fails women with chronic symptoms.
