Run Time: 31:11


Episode Overview:


In a world that never seems to quiet down, it’s no surprise that so many of us feel stretched thin, scattered, or constantly “on edge.” In this episode, we explore why this topic matters right now—in an age where our senses are flooded from the moment we wake up to the moment we finally put the phone away.


Together, we gently untangle the difference between overstimulation and overwhelm—two experiences that often feel the same but come from very different places. You’ll learn how to recognize the signs your body and mind are sending you, and why understanding which one you’re facing can be the key to finding relief.


We also take a compassionate look at what’s happening beneath the surface: the brain and nervous system working hard to keep you safe, the amygdala sounding its alarms, and the stress hormones that tug at your focus and mood. But woven through it all is a message of deep hope. Thanks to the power of neuroplasticity, the brain is not stuck in survival mode forever. It can calm, reset, and heal—even after long seasons of strain.


We root all of this in the steady grounding of biblical truth—reminding ourselves that our bodies were intentionally and wonderfully designed, not by accident but with purpose. Faith becomes more than comfort; it becomes a guide for understanding our limits, a reminder of God’s care for our whole being, and a pathway to the kind of healing that restores us from the inside out.

Poem written by Geva Thole from Good Listening:


Redemption


I discovered my heart

only by tearing down what

once lived inside it.


By redefining medicine,

I found redemption following heartache—

repaired my conscience after its injury.


I realized faith is the only answer—

that wholeness is the path to healing.


I learned the journey is difficult,

but can be achieved with an open heart,

that an epiphany can be experienced

when I tend to my soul.

]]> What Is Shalom? The Biblical Key to Healing and Wholeness What Is Shalom? The Biblical Key to Healing and Wholeness Tue, 17 Jun 2025 11:30:00 GMT 5:09 6838676f2780b226c71da13a false https://www.thejoyprescription.com/podcast 6838676f2780b226c71da13a 61d9cbdb86571800139d2bac what-is-shalom-the-biblical-key-to-healing-and-wholeness full 4 1 Host: Dr. Cynthia “Cindy” Libert, M.D.

Run Time: 5:09


In today’s episode, Dr. Cindy invites you into a gentle, heartfelt conversation about one of the most beautiful and misunderstood words in Scripture: shalom. Far more than simply “peace,” shalom speaks of wholeness—of restoration, healing, and alignment with God's design for your life.


You’ll explore what shalom means biblically, how it touches every part of your being, and how Jesus, the Prince of Peace, offers us more than calm—He offers us completion.


💬 In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

  • The deeper biblical meaning of shalom
  • How shalom touches our physical, emotional, relational, and spiritual health
  • Why peace is not something we earn—but something we receive
  • The healing power of returning to right relationship with God, others, and yourself
  • Where to begin when you're feeling weary, scattered, or broken


📖 Scripture References:

  • Isaiah 9:6 (ESV) “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given... and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”


  • Ephesians 2:14 (ESV) “For he himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility.”


  • John 14:27 (ESV) “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.”


  • Proverbs 4:20–22 (NIV) “My son, pay attention to what I say; turn your ear to my words. Do not let them out of your sight, keep them within your heart; for they are life to those who find them and health to one’s whole body.”


🕊️ Key Takeaway:

Shalom isn’t something we hustle to achieve—it’s something we receive through relationship with Jesus, the Sar Shalom. He is our wholeness. He is our restorer. He meets us in our frayed places and gently says, “Let Me take care of that.”



Reflective Questions:

  • Where in your life do you feel a longing for greater wholeness?


  • In what areas is Jesus inviting you to receive His shalom today?


  • How might you shift from striving to resting in His love and provision?


Next Steps:

  • Share this episode with a friend who needs encouragement.


  • Subscribe and leave a review to help others find The Joy Prescription.




🤍 Final Blessing:

You were made for shalom.

You were made for joy.

You were made to be whole.

May His peace dwell richly in your heart today and always.

We've had a delightful experience this season interviewing pioneering individuals who are integrating faith into their work in their respective fields of healthcare, coaching, psychology, and ministry.


On September 27, 2024, the place we call home, Western North Carolina, received unimaginable damage and destruction from the impacts of Hurricane Helene. Recovery efforts are still ongoing as many seek to rebuild and face unexpected new beginnings.


To close out Season 3, we wanted to take this opportunity to remember and reflect upon our experiences and highlight the hidden grace that is discovered in the hard, stormy experiences of life.


In our final episode, we wrap-up our thoughts reflecting on resilience and the important role God's Word played in anchoring our souls as we navigated the impacts of the storm. Listen to see which verses were reminding us to keep our focus on Jesus despite being confronted with fear, stress and overwhelm.


We'd love to hear YOUR pearls of wisdom and triumphs you've experienced in the midst of personal or community challenges. Share your story with us by emailing thejoyprescription@gmail.com.


This episode closes out Season 3 and we are incredibly grateful for your support! We look forward to returning for Season 4 in Spring 2025. Be sure to subscribe and follow us so you don't miss our Season 4 announcements!

We're delighted to interview pioneering individuals who are integrating faith into their work in their respective fields of healthcare, coaching, psychology, and ministry.


Today's guest, Dr. Haley French, is an Assistant Professor of Professional Counseling in the Graduate School of Counseling at Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, OK. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in both Oklahoma and Colorado. She earned her BA in music from ORU in 2006, and an MDiv from ORU in 2009. She went on to complete a degree in clinical mental health counseling from Denver Seminary in 2012, and her PhD in practical theology from the University of Aberdeen in Scotland in 2019. She specializes in the area of integration studies concerned with the relationship between Christianity and counseling.


In this episode, we explore a Biblical perspective on health, gleaning rich insights from Dr. French's integration studies of Christianity and counseling and diving into the concept of shalom. Most of us associate shalom with "peace" or "wellbeing," however, as Dr. French explains, it encompasses much much more! Passionate about bridging the gap between therapists and theologians, Dr. French discusses how interdisciplinary work can enrich our lives and provide more comprehensive care to those seeking help for mental health concerns. There's an immense need for healing and restoration as we observe a growing mental health crisis in our nation and world. Dr. French shares perspective on how walking through mental health challenges is revolutionized in light of the robust meaning of shalom. Reflecting on her own lived experiences and expertise, Dr. French also shares self-care practices to promote health and flourishing.

We're delighted to interview pioneering individuals who are integrating faith into their work in their respective fields of healthcare, coaching, psychology, and ministry.


Today’s guest is the delightful Kameo Snyder, a Functional Medicine Nutritionist with 25 years of clinical experience restoring metabolic and cellular health, correcting gut imbalances, mitigating inflammation, and resolving biotoxin illness. She has successfully treated thousands of patients while serving as Chief of the largest Nutrition Clinic in the USAF Medical Center, developing and publishing evidence-based nutrition programs for metabolic diseases. She taught at both Old Dominion University and the Culinary Institute of Virginia medical nutrition therapy and culinary nutrition. In 2023, after walking alongside her close friends battle with cancer, she shifted gears to support women's recovery from cancer launching The Cellular Reboot, Seeing the hand of God in every cell.


In this interview, we dive deep into Kameo’s expertise on metabolic health, exploring the role of detoxification in our health journeys, including:

  • Why detoxification is important for our bodies
  • Common misconceptions about detoxification
  • The role of diet in detoxification
  • The relationship between detoxification and spiritual health

Kameo brings a fresh perspective to restoring health and JOY by honoring the internal cellular engineering of Creator God in our bodies.

Marina Carrier full 3 4 Welcome to Season 3 of The Joy Prescription Podcast!


We're delighted to interview pioneering individuals who are integrating faith into their work in their respective fields of healthcare, coaching, psychology, and ministry.


Today's guest, joining us from the United Kingdom, is (Heulwen) Marina Carrier, author and founder of an online ministry serving the brokenhearted and those who know the pain of loss, neglect, and abandonment. Marina herself lived through early childhood trauma as an illegitimate, unwanted child, suffering sexual abuse and neglect, and eventually being left for dead at the age of nine. Despite her horrific suffering, she was given great grace to follow a career in education, including research, where she became the Head of Department of In-Service Education of Teachers. Despite the joys of her career, she was confronted with her own mental exhaustion and emotional baggage that led her to seek God to guide and sustain her through a healing journey of acknowledging and listening to her inner pain. She is the author of a trilogy, He Heals the Brokenhearted, and compassionately serves her online community, helping traumatized individuals face their pain and give their burdens to Christ.


During this interview, we explore the topics of healing, forgiveness, resilience and surrender, as Marina illuminates how the Holy Spirit delivered her out of despair into hope and joy again! Marina's story is truly one that resonates with the saying, "God takes our mess and turns it into a message!" Marina's words of wisdom, inspiration and her determination to live in the love of Christ will beckon you to seek to know God more intimately.

We're delighted to interview pioneering individuals who are integrating faith into their work in their respective fields of healthcare, coaching, psychology, and ministry.


Today's guest is Donna Chacko, MD, a medical doctor who loves to share what she learned about healing during her decades practicing medicine and her long difficult marriage. Donna practiced radiation oncology and later family medicine. She and her first husband raised three daughters in Florida. After his death, she moved to Washington, DC, where she cared for the poor until 2013. Now retired, Donna lives in Maryland with her second husband and works in the ministry she founded, Serenity and Health. In September 2021 she was designated a Changemaker by the Institute for Lifestyle Medicine. Her book Pilgrimage: A Doctor’s Healing Journey, has won several awards including the 2022 Catholic Media Association book awards 1st Place, Marriage & Family Living; 1st Place, Self-Published Book; and Honorable Mention, Healing & Self Help.


During this interview, we explore the topic of healing, especially from the difficult or complicated parts of our journey, and the importance of creating time in our busy, "on-the-treadmill" paced lives, to connect with God, be still, surrender and heal. Donna introduces us to a key prayer practice that has transformed her life and deepened her connection with God. Listen to learn how you can integrate this method into your own daily rhythms. Donna's story of courage and resilience through trial and transition is inspiring and a beautiful reminder of God's ability to restore and heal if we simply open our hearts to the process.

]]> Welcome to season two of the Joy Prescription podcast, where we are interviewing women in the fields of ministry and medicine. Our goal is to draw out the wisdom in our collective life stories so that we can learn and grow together.


On today's podcast, we welcome special guest, Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith, a Board-Certified internal medicine physician, speaker, and author of multiple works, including her bestseller Sacred Rest: Recover Your Life, Renew Your Energy, Restore Your Sanity. Sacred Rest shares insight on the seven types of rest needed to optimize your productivity, increase your overall happiness, overcome burnout, and live your best life.


In this episode, we talk about the seven types of rest and how they impact our health, happiness and overall well-being. Dr. Saundra shares a glimpse into the experience that served as a kind of "wake-up call" in her life which ultimately led her to write Sacred Rest. As a multi-passionate woman, Dr. Saundra understands the challenges that come with trying to do it all in a society that applauds busy and devalues rest. Full of wisdom, Dr. Saundra expounds upon the seven types of rest we need to thrive, the distinction between sleep and rest, why so many people struggle with insomnia and fatigue, & tips for adding rest into a jam-packed workday. Our hope as you listen is that you will discover how to cultivate a well-rested life of your own!

Join Dr. Cynthia Libert and Brooke Jack on The Joy Prescription Podcast - A weekly podcast about transforming your health with lifestyle medicine and biblical wisdom.


This week we dive into the topics of discontent, contentment and gratitude. We share stories and reflections on the power of gratitude to bring health, peace, and joy into our lives.


In this podcast, we outline some of the many benefits of practicing gratitude:


Gratitude enhances our mood immediately.

Gratitude triggers our brain to release important neurotransmitters: dopamine and serotonin.

Gratitude positively enhances our body's physiology: sex and stress hormones balance, nervous system regulation, immune resilience, and even the gut microbiome!

The more we practice gratitude, the more we strengthen these neural connections that can lead to joy and contentment.


We can actually rewire our brain to experience more permanent states of peace and contentment.

Dear God,


Thank you that you are near. Thank you that I don't have to hide my brokenness from you. You alone can be trusted with the most intimate knowledge of me.

" ...let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes."

Ephesians 4:23, New Living Translation


It can be hard to let go of or change things that we have become accustomed to, such as routines, habits, thought patterns, and responses. However, there always comes a time when change must occur for the betterment of our physical, mental, spiritual, emotional, and relational health.


The good news is God provided us with the ultimate change agent, Holy Spirit, who also serves as our Counselor and Strengthener! Full of gentleness, truth, and love, the Holy Spirit helps us transform more and more into the likeness of Christ, whereby our lives display His character, lifestyle, attitudes, and JOY! Our job? Let Him do it!


What thoughts or attitudes do you need the Spirit's help to let go of so that you can receive new, God-fashioned ones? Holy Spirit is ready and willing to help you! Invite Him to lead you into transformation from the inside out. Give Him your "yes," and He will do tremendous work on your behalf!

Someone is Fighting for You


Welcome! Brooke Jack here with today’s Joy Prescription Devotional to help you focus your heart on Jesus and His Truth. Exodus 14:14 says,


"The Lord will fight for you, you need only to be still."



Did you know that the Lord is for you? Did you know that He desires to bring rescue and champion you into victory - not just once or twice, but continually?


When you stand still and hold your peace in confident assurance that the Lord is FOR YOU, even in the midst of the most menacing storm, the power of faith is released! Stillness rests in knowing that God is God and that His ability far exceeds your ability.


I encourage you to be still….rest in Him… and allow God to do extraordinary things on your behalf! Remember, He is for you!

Elevate Your Perspective


Hello - this is Brooke Jack with today’s Joy Prescription Devotional to help you focus your heart on Jesus and His Truth.  Today’s scripture comes from Psalm 74, verses 13 & 16-17. 


"Did I keep my heart pure for nothing?  Did I keep myself innocent for no reason?...So I tried to understand why the wicked prosper. But what a difficult task it is!  Then I went into your sanctuary, O God, and I finally understood the destiny of the wicked."

- Psalm 74:13;16-17, New Living Translation



Have you ever wondered why things were going so right for others when things in your own life seemed to be going so wrong? You are not alone. The psalmist battled doubt and uncertainty as he saw the enemies of God prospering. But once he went into the sanctuary of God, and gained a higher, more holy and eternal perspective, envy and bitterness no longer gnawed at his heart.


If you are battling jealousy, bitterness, or disappointment in your life, I encourage you to elevate your perspective!  Humbly posture yourself in the presence of God and receive His counsel. I am confident you will come away encouraged that the Lord is securely holding you, leading you into a beautiful destiny.

Look up!


Hello - this is Brooke Jack with today’s Joy Prescription Devotional, which is a prayer inspired by the heart posture revealed in Psalm 5:3. 


Psalm 5:3 in the NKJV reads:

My voice You shall hear in the morning, O Lord;

In the morning I will direct it to You,

And I will look up.


Every morning is a new day and a new opportunity to pour out your heart before God. It is a time to rekindle your passion, revel in His goodness, and recall with great expectation His immeasurable power and authority!

  • I pray that as you look up, you will remember that you are positioned with Christ in heavenly places.
  • I pray that as you cast your eyes upon the King of Kings, you will be captivated by His goodness and beauty.
  • I pray that as you lift your eyes to Heaven, you will hear the melodies of joyful songs the Father sings over you.
  • I pray that as you look up, all fear and reservation will be quieted in HIs love.
  • I pray that as you gaze Heavenward, you will experience healing, freedom, renewal, and courage.
  • I pray that as you lift your eyes higher, you will be granted creative ideas, solutions, wisdom, and extraordinary insight.
  • I pray that as you look up, every part of your being will be consumed with a passionate love for the Lord Jesus Christ.

Join Dr. Cynthia Libert and Brooke Jack on The Joy Prescription Podcast - A weekly podcast about transforming your health with lifestyle medicine and biblical wisdom. This week Dr. Libert shares some powerful wisdom on how to reset the nervous system with a simple practice you can start today.


We know that almost all illnesses are stress-related. That is, all illness is either caused by stress or aggravated by stress. And, of course, being sick causes stress!


Stress is linked to the leading causes of deaths: heart disease, cancer, lung ailments, accidents, cirrhosis, and suicide


Stress is the #1 reason why people… 

  • Eat poorly 
  • Abuse drugs and alcohol
  • Quit healthy lifestyle programs


Chronic exposure to stressors excites the sympathetic nervous system, putting the entire body on the alert.


So, what do we do about it?  


One simple answer comes from a dear, wise 88-year old woman in my medical practice...


Tune into this week's podcast to learn her advice.


We’d love to hear from you! You can ask us questions about anything health and/or spirituality related, and we’ll do our best to answer you on the podcast. Send your questions to us via email to thejoyprescription@gmail.com or by calling our question line at 828-412-0599.

God’s splendor is a tale that is told;

showing his skill in creation’s craftsmanship.

Psalm 19:1



Friend, today, I encourage you to step into nature and simply MARVEL at God's creation. What beautiful thing do you see?  What delightful sound do you hear? Quiet your soul and engage your senses, and let the SPLENDOR of God fill you with joy!

A Time to Marvel


Hello - this is Brooke Jack with today’s Joy Prescription Devotional from Psalm 19:1 in The Passion Translation.



God’s splendor is a tale that is told;

his testament is written in the stars.

Space itself speaks his story every day

through the marvels of the heavens.

His truth is on tour in the starry vault of the sky,

showing his skill in creation’s craftsmanship.

Psalm 19:1



Friend, today, I encourage you to step into nature and simply MARVEL at God's creation. What beautiful thing do you see?  What delightful sound do you hear? Quiet your soul and engage your senses, and let the SPLENDOR of God fill you with joy!

  1. Magnification and Minimization—Blowing things way out of proportion, or downplaying their importance.
  2. Emotional Reasoning—This brain ANT happens when we give our feelings too much credit without considering the facts and the bigger picture.
  3. Labeling–Calling yourself or others negative names like “lazy” or “a loser.”
  4. Overt and Hidden Should Statements—As in, “I SHOULDN’T have screwed up like that,” or “I SHOULD be better than I am.”
  5. Blame—Self-Blame leads to despair and depression and blaming others breeds anger and strife.

In this episode I discuss root causes of hypothyroidism and the holistic treatment options to optimize thyroid health, improve metabolism, and decrease autoimmunity for a higher quality of life.


Here are some of the root causes of hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's thyroiditis:


  • Environmental toxicity: (e.g. heavy metals, industrial chemicals/organic pollutants, fluoride in the water) 
  • Dietary factors: food sensitivity (e.g. gluten due to molecular mimicry), micronutrient deficiencies from poor diet, malabsorption and soil mineral depletion (e.g. iodine, zinc, iron, B vitamins, vitamin A and selenium), excessive carbohydrates, low protein diet, low calorie diets all negatively affect thyroid function
  • Infections: pathogenic viruses, bacteria, fungi, protozoa  
  • GI dysfunction: hypochlorhydria, gut dysbiosis, SIBO/SIFO, parasites and leaky gut syndrome with associated inflammation and micronutrient deficiencies
  • Genetics: (e.g. SNPs affecting vitamin A metabolism and genes causing defects in thyroid hormone synthesis)
  • Prescription medications: (e.g. PPIs, OCPs)
  • Adrenal dysfunction: stress, trauma and elevated cortisol
  • Sex hormone imbalance: (e.g. excessive estrogen)
  • Inflammation: obesity and other chronic diseases

In this episode I continue to address a patient case regarding a middle aged woman with concerns about low thyroid function despite normal laboratory testing. Specifically, I address the reliability of the TSH as a biomarker to diagnose hypothyroidism.


"I’m 35 and have lots of symptoms of hypothyroidism (I’ve gained 25 pounds in the last 3 years despite exercising and eating less, I’m always wearing a sweater, even in the summertime, my feet and hands are cold, my hair is falling out, my nails are brittle and I am so tired by 3 o’clock every day. I fall asleep every day after dinner and don’t have enough energy to be the wife and mom I want to be. My gut is also a mess. I get bloated after eating and am constipated. My mom and older sister have hypothyroidism, but my doctor says my labs look fine. How can this be? Can the TSH be wrong? I’ve heard that it might not be reliable. What can I do to feel better? Please help!" 


Can you relate? It's estimated that 60% of people with thyroid dysfunction are undiagnosed.


Here are the 7 tests that I recommend to gain a nuanced understanding of thyroid function:

  1. TSH
  2. Free T3
  3. Total T3
  4. Free T4
  5. Reverse T3
  6. Thyroglobulin antibodies
  7. Thyroid peroxidase antibodies

Be Refreshed


Hi! Brooke Jack here with your weekly Joy Prescription. The Scripture focus for today comes from the book of Proverbs, chapter 11:25.  The New International Version reads:


"A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed."


Something amazing happens when you choose to be a source of blessing to others! As you endeavor to meet their needs, you are met with the blessing that you need.  


You may be refreshed by a sense of purpose and fulfillment when meeting the financial needs of another.

You may be refreshed by an abundance of peace and joy when speaking words of encouragement to another.

You may be refreshed by a sense of contentment when meeting the practical needs of another through service.


Take a moment to ask yourself: how can I be a fountain of refreshing today? How can I help someone else flourish? Think creatively…and take a moment to celebrate that you are free to be generous and refresh others!



I invite you to tune in next week for another Joy Prescription devotional and also on the second Tuesday of each month when my co-host, Dr. Cynthia Libert and I, take a deeper dive to explore topics at the intersection of Brain Health, Lifestyle Medicine & Christian Spirituality.

Join Dr. Libert & Brooke Jack on The Joy Prescription Podcast - A weekly podcast about transforming your health with lifestyle medicine and biblical wisdom.


In this episode we cover 5 of the common Brain ANTs that can pull us into the dark pit of depression and despair:


  1. All-or-Nothing Thinking—Looking at things in black or white categories. If you fall short of perfection, you tell yourself that you’re a complete failure. This distorted thinking can quickly escalate a minor problem to a full-scale catastrophe in your mind: “I failed this test so I’ll probably fail this class and have to drop out of school, won’t find a job and end up homeless living on the streets.”
  2. Overgeneralization—You see a painful and undesirable event—such as divorce, bankruptcy or failure to accomplish a specific goal—as a never-ending pattern of defeat. Here are two examples of this common cognitive distortion: “nobody likes me” and “I always ruin everything.”
  3. Mental Filtering—Magnifying a flaw, shortcoming or problem, and seeing it as a reflection of your entire self.
  4. Discounting the Positive—An even bigger lie is when you believe that your good qualities or achievements don’t matter, maintaining the false belief that you’re defective or a total failure.
  5. Jumping to Conclusions—This brain ANT involves making dire negative predictions about your future that aren’t supported by the facts. When you’re under stress or suffering with anxiety or depression this tends to happen a lot. You tell yourself that you’re situation is hopeless, you’ll be miserable forever or even that life isn’t worth living. We also jump to conclusions about what others are thinking about us. How often do you assume someone is mad at you or offended by you without even speaking to them and verifying your suspicions? You’d be surprised how often your worries are not based in reality. Most of the time people are busy dealing with their own problems and lives and their behavior really has nothing to do with you.

If you are a woman in your 30-50s, you may be dealing with at least a few of the following symptoms of the perimenopausal transition:


  •  Feeling "blah"
  • Lack of motivation to do routine tasks like grocery shopping and housework
  • Desire to stay home, rather than going out to socialize
  • Emotional instability, anxiety, depression
  • Bone loss
  • Heart palpitation or high blood pressure
  • Weight gain despite exercise
  • Insomnia
  • Night sweats, hot flashes
  • Increased wrinkles of the face "crow’s feet" or furrowed brow
  • Unpredictable periods
  • Brain fog, forgetfulness, self-doubt, trouble making decisions
  • Decreased interest in sex
  • Increased interest in wine and chocolate!


If you raised your hand to one or more of the above symptoms, know that you are not alone and there is help!


Dr. Libert answers the following questions about perimenopause in this episode:


00:06:13 Elizabeth: “I’m getting to that age. I would love to know how to navigate changes in my body without prescriptions and without prolonging the process. I would also like to know what to look for to know when it is happening.”

00:17:00 Linda: “Options for dryness and pain/pelvic floor pressure?”

00:27:22 Shawna: “I’m getting more hair on my face. Is there something natural I could take that could help?”

00:37:12 Shannon: “Definitely me! Experiencing weight gain, increased emotions, hot flashes and brain fog. What natural supplements are helpful?”

00:51:15 Keri: “I have hot flashes and horrible night sweats cannot get a full night's rest. I do not take any prescriptions or over the counter medicines but am interested in a holistic approach that might help.”

00:57:53 Ashley: “Not quite there yet but both my mom and her mom began at a fairly early age. I’d love to hear the podcast!”

01:00:56 Janice: “Loss of sexual drive is sad. What about that?”

If you are a woman in your 30-50s, you may be dealing with at least a few of the following symptoms of the perimenopausal transition:


  •  Feeling "blah"
  • Lack of motivation to do routine tasks like grocery shopping and housework
  • Desire to stay home, rather than going out to socialize
  • Emotional instability, anxiety, depression
  • Bone loss
  • Heart palpitation or high blood pressure
  • Weight gain despite exercise
  • Insomnia
  • Night sweats, hot flashes
  • Increased wrinkles of the face "crow’s feet" or furrowed brow
  • Unpredictable periods
  • Brain fog, forgetfulness, self-doubt, trouble making decisions
  • Decreased interest in sex
  • Increased interest in wine and chocolate!


If you raised your hand to one or more of the above symptoms, know that you are not alone and there is help!


Dr. Libert answers the following questions about perimenopause in this episode:


00:06:13 Elizabeth: “I’m getting to that age. I would love to know how to navigate changes in my body without prescriptions and without prolonging the process. I would also like to know what to look for to know when it is happening.”

00:17:00 Linda: “Options for dryness and pain/pelvic floor pressure?”

00:27:22 Shawna: “I’m getting more hair on my face. Is there something natural I could take that could help?”

00:37:12 Shannon: “Definitely me! Experiencing weight gain, increased emotions, hot flashes and brain fog. What natural supplements are helpful?”

00:51:15 Keri: “I have hot flashes and horrible night sweats cannot get a full night's rest. I do not take any prescriptions or over the counter medicines but am interested in a holistic approach that might help.”

00:57:53 Ashley: “Not quite there yet but both my mom and her mom began at a fairly early age. I’d love to hear the podcast!”

01:00:56 Janice: “Loss of sexual drive is sad. What about that?”

The Joy Prescription Podcast - Psalm 73:28 - A Good Thing


Join Dr. Libert on The Joy Prescription Podcast - A weekly podcast about transforming your health with lifestyle medicine and biblical wisdom. This week she shares some wisdom from Psalm 73:28.

In the meantime, we invite you to take your learning further with us at thejoyprescription.com. 


The Joy Prescription is an on-line membership community with a three-fold purpose: holistic health education, soul care and spiritual formation. The ultimate goal is to deepen our walk with God and awaken to our true identity and purpose in Christ.   



A Good Thing


Hello, Dear One, Dr. Cynthia Libert here with your weekly Joy Prescription. Psalm 73:28 from the NLT says “But as for me, how good it is to be near God! I have made the Sovereign Lord my shelter, and I will tell everyone about the wonderful things you do.” 


The beginning words of this verse remind me of the prophet Joshua's famous declaration, "But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord". In this passage of scripture, Joshua was asking the Israelites to make a conscious choice of whom they would serve - God or the idols of their forefathers. In his wisdom and devotion to God, Joshua set the example by stating that he and his family would stay true (or near) to God no matter what.


Not everyone may agree with your decision to serve God and live a life of faith. But like the psalmist, and like Joshua, the choice is yours to make! If you have personally yielded to the love and leadership of Jesus Christ, then you, my friend, have found a very good thing! May the Peace of Christ be with you. 


I invite you to tune in next week for another Joy Prescription devotional and also on the second Tuesday of each month when my co-host, Brooke Jack and I, take a deeper dive to explore topics at the intersection of Brain Health, Lifestyle Medicine & Christian Spirituality.


Now go out and do one thing that brings you joy today!

How do you feel when you think about the future? Are you expectant and joyful? Or do you feel gripped with anxiety and fear?


Proverbs 31 shows us a godly woman that looked to the future - with all of its unknowns - and laughed!  How could she respond so carefree and confident? It wasn't about what her future held, it was about who was accompanying her into her future.


Dear One, may you rest joyfully today in the experience of your salvation. May you have full confidence that God is with you - your Heavenly Father is your companion now, and as you step into your future. God’s power and love is steadfast and beyond measure. His nature is kind and merciful. He is the one accompanying YOU into your future.

Today, I’ll be reading Jeremiah 29:11: "'For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope."  


How are you? Is your mind wrestling with fearful, defeating thoughts? It’s easy to look around at the world and our circumstances and be discouraged. This has always been the case in human history. In fact, when the prophet Jeremiah received these words of encouragement to Israel, they were in captivity. On the outside, their future looked bleak and hopeless, and the promises of God on pause. They may have questioned God’s goodness when they looked around at their undesirable circumstances. 


God had an answer. He quieted their fears by reminding them that He only had GOOD plans, GOOD thoughts, and GOOD intentions toward them.  Friend, the same is true for YOU today!  God is full of GOOD thoughts about you and your future. Take His thoughts to heart and be of good courage!


May the Peace of Christ be with you. May you be buoyed up with hope in His supernatural power, trusting that He can and will transform your circumstances into good, for your good and for His glory.

Do you ever feel desperate just to catch your breath?


You’re not alone (and you’re in good company). My story of near burnout working as a rural family physician is how my healthy lifestyle blueprint, what I call my Joy Prescription, was born and became the framework for my own personal healing.


In this episode, my co-host and I unpack the “J’ in my Joy Prescription Toolbox. We explore the connection between breath, mind, and body from a scientific standpoint, including the direct link between emotions and breath. We also examine Psalm 46 for wisdom on how to manage the unrest we often battle within our souls and find hope!


We highlight these key concepts:


  • The heart posture that leads to peace
  • How emotions and breath are interrelated 
  • The extraordinary health benefits of an adequate oxygen supply 
  • One of the most accessible and transformative wellness practices that you can begin implementing right now (even while you’re listening to this podcast!)
