  • The Powerful, Forgotten Truth About the Divine Design of Our Bodies
    Dec 23 2025

    This reflective year-end episode explores the powerful, forgotten truth about the divine As 2025 comes to a close, this special reflection episode explores the powerful, forgotten truth about the divine design of our bodies.

    This conversation weaves together faith, science, and lived experience to reflect on what we’ve learned together this year — from understanding symptoms as communication, to calming the nervous system, reducing inflammation, and recognizing how the body was created to work in harmony with nature.

    Rather than chasing perfection or quick fixes, this episode invites you to slow down and rediscover the wisdom written into the human body. It’s a reminder that our bodies are not random, broken, or working against us — they are intelligently designed, responsive, and capable of restoration when supported well.

    You’ll also hear reflections on the growth of the Becoming Natural podcast, lessons learned along the way, and what’s coming in 2026.

  • Nutrient Deficiencies: The Frustrating Reason Symptoms Persist
    Dec 17 2025

    Nutrient deficiencies are often the hidden reason symptoms linger—fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, digestive issues, and hormonal imbalance.

    In this episode of Becoming Natural, Penny walks you through a powerful mindset shift: stop guessing and start understanding what your body actually needs. Instead of chasing symptoms with random supplements or medications, this conversation explores how vitamin and mineral deficiencies quietly drive many of the issues we accept as “normal.”

    You’ll learn why nutrients matter so deeply, how deficiencies create cascading symptoms, why testing is an act of wisdom (not overkill), and how targeted nourishment can restore clarity, energy, and resilience. From iodine and thyroid function to magnesium, vitamin D, and iron, this episode connects science, faith, and real-life experience to help you listen to your body with confidence.

    If you’re tired of guessing, this episode is your invitation to get answers.
