You Were Made for More
Than Just Surviving
A faith-filled, functional medicine guide to breaking free from chronic stress and finally living the full, purposeful life God designed for you.
About the Book
Stress is a constant part of life—but it doesn’t have to control you.
From Chronically Stressed to Fully Blessed: A Faith-Filled Functional Medicine Approach to Breaking Free from Stress and Overwhelm is a practical, hope-filled guide for anyone who has tried to push through the pressure and found it never really goes away.
Dr. Gretchen Reis knows what chronic stress can do to a body, a mind, and a soul. As a physician trained in both Family Medicine and Integrative Medicine, she has spent years helping patients find real, lasting health. In this book, she brings that same care and clinical wisdom to the page—blending medical insight, personal stories, and the timeless truth of Scripture to help you see stress in an entirely new way.
Because what if stress isn’t the enemy? What if it’s actually an invitation to grow stronger, surrender more fully, and draw closer to God’s purpose for your life?
Whether you’re burning out, overwhelmed, or simply longing for more peace, this book will equip you with the understanding and practical tools to stop surviving and start thriving—body, mind, and spirit.
When Stress Won’t Let Up,
There’s a Better Way Forward
Dr. Gretchen Reis draws on over two decades of medical experience and her own journey of faith to offer something the wellness world rarely provides: a whole-person approach to stress that actually works. With compassion, clinical clarity, and biblical grounding, she walks you through what stress is really doing to you—and what you can do about it.
