What happens when life turns upside down and the answers you need just aren’t coming from the usual places?
In today’s episode, I had the absolute honor of sitting down with Dr. Sharilyn Garrett—an incredible woman of faith, a mom, and a functional medicine practitioner who knows what it means to fight for healing. Her story is powerful. It began with her daughter’s leukemia diagnosis, a moment that completely shifted how she viewed medicine, wellness, and the body’s ability to heal.
Sharilyn shares how her background in conventional medicine wasn’t enough to answer the deeper questions she had about chronic illness and why symptoms kept coming back. That search led her to functional medicine and a whole-body, faith-rooted approach that completely changed everything—not just for her daughter, but for herself and now for countless women she serves.
We talk about nutrition, energy, and how understanding your body (including your blood type!) can help you support it more intentionally. I love how Sharilyn integrates both science and Scripture, reminding us that we are fearfully and wonderfully made—and that healing is possible when we get to the root of the issue.
If you’ve ever felt dismissed, overlooked, or stuck in a cycle of “managing symptoms” with no real answers… this conversation is going to breathe so much life and hope into you.
You are not alone in this, friend—and there are real solutions waiting for you.
