About Nurish.d Foundations

Welcome to nurish.d Foundations with Carrie Hicks— where faith meets functional health. This is the podcast where we dig into God's design for life and health. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or frustrated with your health—whether it’s stubborn weight gain, hair loss, hormone imbalances, or fatigue—this is the place for you. Here, we strip away the confusion of trendy health advice and get back to the basics. I’m Carrie Hicks—a seasoned hairstylist, salon owner, Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, and Board-Certified Holistic Health Practitioner. After witnessing the toll that stress, toxins, and lifestyle imbalances take on women’s health during my 30+ years in the beauty industry, I embarked on a mission to help women heal from the inside out. Now, through my signature program, nurish.d Foundations, I help women renew their faith, restore their health, and reclaim their lives by addressing the root causes of their health struggles. Each episode is designed to educate, equip, and empower you with clear, practical guidance on metabolic health, mineral balancing, gut health, hormone support, sleep, stress reduction, and detoxification—while staying rooted in the truth of God’s Word. You’ll learn how your body’s ability to heal is part of God’s divine design and how aligning with His wisdom can lead to real, lasting transformation. We’ll talk about topics like: How metabolic flexibility and mineral balance can restore your energy. Why your thyroid, adrenals, and hormones might feel out of sync—and what you can do about it. The role of proper digestion, liver health, and detoxification in overall wellness. How faith, mindset, and connection to God are key to true healing. How to discern between alternative new age practices and God's truth for healing. Practical tools to help you reduce stress, sleep better, and feel like yourself again. Whether you’re just starting your health journey or looking for deeper healing, this podcast will help you connect the dots, find clarity, and take control of your health in a way that honors God’s design. It’s time to stop chasing quick fixes and start focusing on the root causes—because when you nourish your body according to God’s wisdom, you can experience the vibrant, abundant life He intended for you. So, if you’re ready to renew your faith, restore your health, and reclaim your life, join me each week for encouraging conversations, practical insights, and a faith-centered approach to wellness. Let’s get back to the foundations of true health together!
