#1048 Hormones & Holy Ground
Thu Feb 05 2026
A listener reached out after watching her mother struggle from a lack of estrogen—and it opened a much bigger conversation about hormones, menopause, and how we respond to change in the body.
This episode isn't about fixing what's broken or chasing youth. It's about gaining clarity—understanding what hormones actually are, why there is so much confusion around hormone replacement, and how we can think wisely about care for the body in seasons of transition.
Together, we hold biology and theology without fear or extremes.
Alisa walks through what hormones are at their most basic level—chemical messengers in the body—and why shifts are a normal part of being human in a broken world. Today's focus is on the female big three: estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, and how their levels typically peak in our 20s to mid-30s before changing over time.
A key theme in this episode is the difference between restorative and resistive approaches to medicine. Rather than striving to reverse time or fight the body, Alisa invites you to consider what it means to restore, support, and reduce inflammation—especially when fear and uncertainty drive many decisions around hormones and menopause.
Alisa also shares from her own experience, while offering an important reminder: she is not a medical professional, and this episode is not medical advice. Instead, it's an invitation to thoughtful discernment, curiosity, and peace as you consider how to steward your body well.
