First-Ever AMA: Kerstin Answers Your Top Questions on Worry, Hormones, Magnesium, and Midlife Health
Manage episode 480915837 series 3620192
This is StRest! In this episode, Kerstin Lindquist tackles one of the most asked questions from her audience: How do I stop worrying so much—especially when I know God is in control? This is more than a mindset issue. For many women in their 40s, 50s, and 60s, worry is the symptom of a deeper hormonal, emotional, and spiritual imbalance.
Kerstin unpacks the connection between anxiety and midlife biology, explaining how stress, sleep, nutrition, and modern life disrupt our natural rhythms. But this episode doesn’t stop at health science. Kerstin brings it all back to the Word, teaching why control is not a biblical concept and how peace comes from practicing presence and surrender—not hustle and planning.
You’ll also learn about magnesium types, castor oil for inflammation and endometriosis, the power of rucking, and the underestimated strength of walking with God in every season of life. With practical tips, personal stories, and biblical truth, this episode is a lifeline for anyone trying to do too much, feel better, and trust deeper.
