Faith-Led Holistic Health Practitioner &
Host of Faith Over Pharma

Hi I'm Susan Gladstein

Listen to the Podcast

I help women who are overwhelmed by symptoms, conflicting advice, and pressure-based healthcare return to the way God designed their bodies to heal — with wisdom, discernment, and faith-led, whole-body support.

I know what it feels like to carry a quiet longing in your heart — whether it’s for a child, for energy, or simply to feel like yourself again.

I also know what it’s like to be told everything looks “fine,” while your body tells a different story.

After nine years of marriage and raising a beautifully blended family of five, I couldn’t shake the sense that someone was missing. When my husband suggested a vasectomy reversal, I had no idea how deeply that yes would change our lives.

Just months later, before a military deployment, I received a mandated anthrax vaccine. What followed was a cascade of symptoms no one could explain. I was told everything was normal — but I knew it wasn’t.

During that six-month deployment, I made a different choice. I stopped outsourcing my health and began studying healing holistically — body, mind, and spirit — while leaning fully on God’s guidance.

Years later, after rebuilding my health from the ground up, I became pregnant at 40 with our daughter, Emma — our first vasectomy-reversal miracle. At 44, I welcomed our son, Ezra.

But the miracle wasn’t just pregnancy.

It was discovering how much the body can heal when we stop chasing symptoms and start honoring design.

Today, I help women step out of fear-based, symptom-chasing care and into faith-led healing rooted in how God designed the body to function.

As a Board-Certified Holistic Health Practitioner and Functional Nutrition Specialist, I guide women through personalized strategies to restore energy, regulate hormones, reduce inflammation, and rebuild trust with their bodies — without trendy fixes or pressure-based protocols.

This work isn’t about rejecting medicine.
It’s about reclaiming discernment.

This isn’t just my work — it’s my calling.

After everything I’ve walked through, I know how to help you cut through the noise, stop outsourcing your healing, and move forward with clarity, confidence, and faith.

If you’re ready to feel supported instead of overwhelmed, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

and God led me to true healing

Our Christmas Tradition: Why We Ditched Gifts for Memories

Believe it or not, we stopped doing Christmas gifts over 15 years ago. It started when my older kids, then 9 and 12, struggled to even think of things they wanted. Reflecting on my own childhood, I couldn’t recall most of the gifts I received, but I did remember a Christmas Eve scavenger hunt that led us all over town. The smell of rain, the crisp Texas air, the excitement of each new clue—it’s a memory that still feels vivid today.

That experience shaped our decision to skip the gifts and invest in creating unforgettable memories instead. Now, my grown kids still talk about those Christmases as their favorite. And as we continue the tradition with our vasectomy reversal babies, I know we’re crafting moments that will outlast anything wrapped under a tree.

Keeping the ’80s Alive: Dance Parties and Bike Rides

I’m that mom living like it’s 1989. Random kitchen dance parties? Yes, please. Busting moves in the grocery aisle? Absolutely. Music lights up my soul, and sharing that joy with my kids is one of my favorite things.

Then there’s my second love: cruising the neighborhood on bikes, full retro vibes. In 2020, I rediscovered the joy of bike rides, and it was like stepping back in time. Now, when Arizona isn’t blazing hot, we’re out there soaking up the fresh air and freedom.

Between dance-offs and bike rides, I’m keeping the best parts of the ’80s alive. Because some things—like a good beat and the wind in your hair—never go out of style.

"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

In 2019, this verse became my lifeline. I lost my bonus dad, then my grandfather shortly after. Grief weighed heavily, and military deployment meant missing my grandfather’s memorial. That year was marked by loss, anger, and shattered dreams of having another baby.

But every morning, in a windowless room halfway around the world, I chose to find hope. This verse reminded me that God’s plans are bigger than my pain. It taught me to see purpose where I only saw despair. Now, Jeremiah 29:11 is a constant reminder to keep moving forward, no matter the season.
