  • Ep. 67 - Autoimmune, Gut Health, and Your Thoughts: How They're All Related
    Jul 9 2026

    What if the symptoms you have been trying to fix are actually messages your body is sending you?

    This week on Holistic Health with Melissa, Melissa is joined by Dr. Tabatha Barber. She is a triple board-certified physician in obstetrics and gynecology, menopause, and functional medicine, and the author of the international bestseller Fast to Faith. Her story begins far from the exam room. From teen mom and high school dropout, she went on to build a virtual medical practice serving women across the country, and she credits her turnaround entirely to faith and perseverance.

    Dr. Tabatha opens up about the autoimmune crisis that followed her first pregnancy, the years she spent chasing quick fixes before understanding the role of the nervous system in true healing, and the moment she felt God call her away from surgery and into a different kind of medicine. She and Melissa talk honestly about why information alone never leads to transformation, why healing has to happen in the right order, and why gut health, hormone balance, and mindset cannot be separated from each other.

    This conversation is for the woman who feels like she has tried everything and still does not feel like herself. Dr. Tabatha offers real hope, practical next steps, and a reminder that your body was designed to heal.

    In this episode, you'll learn:

    • Why chasing supplements and protocols will not fix a dysregulated nervous system
    • What it means to treat symptoms as messages instead of problems to silence
    • Why renewing your mind is a required part of physical healing
    • A simple first step for anyone who feels stuck and does not know where to start

  • Ep. 66 - Hard Seasons, Faithful God: Finding His Goodness in the Midst of It All
    Jul 2 2026

    What do you do when life hands you the unthinkable, and how do you come out the other side still proclaiming God's goodness?

    In this powerful episode of Holistic Health with Melissa, Melissa sits down with conservative activist, media personality, and mama bear, Kendall Bailey, for a conversation that will leave you anchored in the goodness of God.

    Kendall shares her remarkable journey through diagnosis, crisis, and choosing to trust God with the outcome - and how her unshakeable faith carried her through one of the hardest seasons of her life. Together, Melissa and Kendall explore what it really looks like to trust God when the stakes are high, how to choose gratitude over bitterness in the midst of suffering, and why the hard seasons are often where He shows up the most.

    If you are going through a difficult time right now, or if you know someone who is, this episode will remind you that God is good, He is faithful, and He has not changed.

    In this episode, you'll hear:

    • How faith shapes the decisions we make in our hardest moments
    • How God walks with you in the fire rather than sparing you from it
    • Why God's goodness doesn't depend on the outcome
    • How our trials can become our most powerful testimony

    If faith and healing are something you would like to explore further, the Freedom Collective is a supportive next step. In this six-month one-to-one coaching experience, coupled with a community element, you'll see how science, scripture, and somatic healing work together to provide whole-body restoration - mind, body, and spirit.

    To see if this is a good fit for you, schedule a Clarity Call today: https://holistichealthbymelissa.com/discovery-information-form

    We begin July 6.

  • Ep. 65 - Biblical Womanhood vs. Modern Feminism
    Jun 25 2026

    Melissa is joined by Tiffany Parsons this week on Holistic Health with Melissa. Tiffany is a pastor's wife, homeschooling mom of twins, pediatric occupational therapist, and author of the new Christian children's book All Different Yet the Same. She shares her journey from driven career woman to faith-led mother running a flexible private practice, and the sanctification process that changed everything she thought she knew about her calling.

    Together, Melissa and Tiffany get honest about:

    • The tension between biblical motherhood and modern feminism
    • What Scripture actually says about submission, identity, and the God-given strengths of women
    • Why anxiety is so prevalent in the faith community
    • How the enemy targets women emotionally
    • How to combat lies with the living Word of God

    If you're a Christian woman ready to get back to the truth of who God says you are, this conversation is for you.

    And if you'd like support exploring this topic further, the Freedom Collective is a gentle step forward.

    It's a six-month coaching experience designed to bring clarity and restore your identity in the truth.

    Inside the Freedom Collective, you'll receive both community and one-to-one support as we bring together science, scripture, and somatic work to care for the whole person - mind, body, and spirit.

    If you'd like to see if this is a good fit for you, schedule a clarity call here: https://holistichealthbymelissa.com/discovery-information-form.

    Melissa would love to walk this journey with you.
