How the New Age Hijacked Holistic Health — and How Christians Can Take It Back

In this episode of Ex-Psychic Saved, Jenn welcomes registered nurse and board-certified functional medicine practitioner Melissa Schreibfeder, founder of the Christian Functional Medicine Academy. Together they take a deep dive into what holistic health truly is — and what it isn’t.

They expose how New Age practices like Reiki, yoga, mindfulness meditation, “energy work,” and even outright witchcraft have infiltrated healthcare, wellness programs, and churches under innocent-sounding labels like “holistic” and “integrative.” Melissa explains the biblical roots of holistic care, the importance of treating the whole person (mind, body, and spirit), and how Christians can pursue natural health without opening demonic doors.

You’ll hear:

• The difference between biblical holistic care and counterfeit New Age practices
• How functional medicine can honor God’s design for healing
• Real examples of deception in the wellness world
• Why prayer, nutrition, and Scripture-based care lead to better outcomes
• The dangers of blending Christianity with occult-leaning “healing” methods
• How Melissa created a Christian training program for practitioners to serve without compromise

This episode is eye-opening, encouraging, and equips believers to pursue health with discernment — without falling into spiritual traps.

What is Ex-Psychic Saved: Exposing Divination, New Age, and the Occult?

Jennifer Nizza knows what it means to discern — and confront — evil. Once trapped on the hampster wheel of the New Age for 25 years, she was radically saved out of the occult and bondage by Jesus Christ. Nizza was a psychic medium and a teacher of the occult, and, as a result, was demonically oppressed. She taught topics such as: the law of attraction, past life regression, automatic writing, tarot, and mediumship. Despite being deeply rooted in the occult, at the age of 36, she cried out to Jesus for the first time and became a Christian. Suddenly, the darkness she was embroiled in was illuminated. She quit her job as a psychic, picked up her cross to follow Jesus — and hasn't looked back. Nizza, author of the books "From Psychic to Saved" and "Out of the New Age and Into the Truth," is now exposing the New Age, occultism, and paranormal deceptions through "The Ex-Psychic Saved Podcast." This podcast is dedicated to warning all about the dangers of the occult. She will talk about many New Age topics, expose where psychics get their information, interact with compelling guests, and much more!
