In today’s episode, we’re diving into faith, fertility, and holistic health—particularly when it comes to conceiving after vasectomy reversal, pregnancy after 40, & caring for the bodies God has given us in a holistically mindful way.
My guest, Susan Gladstein, is a holistic fertility practitioner, health coach, and mom of seven. After being faced with the challenges that come with trying to conceive following a vasectomy reversal, she became passionate about helping other mothers and couples couples navigate the journey to pregnancy with hope, faith, and holistic wellness.
Susan’s testimony includes having a miracle baby at 40, experiencing a miscarriage, and now being pregnant again at 44—all while leaning into God’s faithfulness & prioritizing her health.
She shares her wisdom on why medical labels like “geriatric pregnancy” shouldn’t define your journey, how faith sustains you through fertility struggles, and why your health choices today impact generations to come.
So whether you’re trying to conceive, preparing for birth, or needing encouragement as a mother, this episode will give you faith-filled wisdom and holistic health insights to trust God’s plan for your fertility and pregnancy journey.
Some topics we cover:- The impact of holistic health on fertility and pregnancy after 40.
- Why the term "geriatric pregnancy" is misleading—and how to reject fear-based labels.
- How faith strengthens you through miscarriage, pregnancy loss, and waiting seasons.
- Why your health today shapes your children’s future and family legacy.
