Sherry Radoff, who offers women’s biblical stress management, nutrition and grief counseling, invites the community to learn how the healing power of prayer can revitalize one’s spirit and help people cope with fears, fatigue, bodily illnesses and stress.

Financial problems, work overload or job loss can cause fear, worry, panic, fatigue, stress, food cravings, hormonal fluctuations, thyroid disorders, adrenal fatigue, acid reflux, ulcers, high blood pressure, confusion, sleep problems and other health and medical concerns.

Stress and anxiety not only affects the spirit and frazzles nerves, but the rush of adrenaline weakens the immune systems, leaving people prone to more illnesses and stress-related problems.

In fact, medical research indicates how stress and diseaseprone personalities (unassertiveness, being overly patient, feeling unable to cope, avoiding conflicts, failing to express negative emotions, anger, hostility and aggression) affect immunity.

These mental patterns cause the “fight or flight response” in which a series of biochemical changes occur in different parts of the body to prepare the individual for their perceived threat of danger. Any problem, imagined or real, can cause the cerebral cortex—the thinking part of the brain—to send an alarm to the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus then stimulates the sympathetic nervous system to make a series of changes in the body.

Heart rate, breathing rate, muscle tension, metabolism, the extremities and digestive system are all involved in this process. People experience fear, anxiety or butterflies in their stomach and the diaphragm locks. The adrenal glands secrete corticoids, which inhibit digestion, reproduction, growth and tissue repair, and the immune and inflammatory systems shut down.

Radoff says people don’t have to live this way. For more than 14 years, Radoff has effectively cared for women with fatigue, stress, anxiety, food cravings, diabetes, hormones, thyroid, heartburn, ulcers, constipation and other health and medical concerns, so they can live healthy, happy and productive lives—mind, body and soul. 

In combining tailor-made biblical, nutritional, stress management programs and customized medical diets, as well as Radoff’s personal and clinical experience, women can rest assured that their illnesses and conditions can be eliminated or brought under control in a short period of time.
