From Struggle to Strength: Thrive Mindfully

🌿 Welcome to Fixed by Nature

You Were Designed to Heal—Naturally.

Hi, I’m Stephen T. Radentz, founder of Fixed by Nature, author of The Happiness Effect, and the upcoming Empowered Sobriety: Overcome Addiction, Build Strength, Reclaim YOUR Life.

For 12 years, I was trapped in a prescription drug addiction that nearly stole my body, mind, and spirit. I couldn’t eat solid food. I was numbing pain with pills and losing sight of who God created me to be.

But everything changed… with a smoothie.

That’s right. A simple fruit and vegetable smoothie was the first spark. From that moment on, I began rebuilding my life—one natural, faith-fueled step at a time.

I didn’t go to rehab. I didn’t rely on another prescription.
I surrendered to God’s perfect design—and discovered the healing power of nature, gratitude, and truth.

what is "FIXED BY NATURE"

  • FIXED BY NATURE

    🌅 Have You Ever Let a Sunset Heal You?

    Just pause for a moment…

    Look at the sunset.

    Not with your busy mind—

    But with your soul.

    Let it wash over you—

    the colors,

    the calm,

    the quiet whisper that says:

    “You were made for more than this noise.”

    🕊️ When was the last time you truly paused?

    Paused long enough to hear nature speak?

    To feel God’s peace in your chest?

    To remember that healing doesn’t come in a bottle…

    It comes in moments like this.

    🌿 You were never designed to be sick, stressed, or stuck.

    You were created for wholeness.

    For joy. For renewal.

    Let the wind clear your thoughts.

    Let the sky soften your heart.

    Let God renew your mind. (Romans 12:2) “be transformed by the renewing of your mind”

    > The same God who painted this sky, also painted a future for you—

    one full of peace, strength, and purpose.

    🌄 You can still be Fixed by Nature.

  • THE ULTIMATE SMOOTHIE

    🥤 Nourish to Recover

    Let me tell you a secret most doctors never mention:

    Healing starts in your gut—long before it ever reaches your mind.

    I spent 12 years stuck in a cycle of prescription drugs.

    Numb. Hopeless. Starving on the inside—even when I was eating.

    Then one day, too weak to chew solid food, I made a smoothie.

    Just fruit, greens, and water.

    That one drink changed everything.

    > “I didn’t know what I was doing…

    but that simple smoothie became a lifeline—

    the first thing my broken body could say ‘yes’ to.”

    — The Happiness Effect

    That purple blend of God-made nutrients gave my body something it hadn’t had in years: real fuel.

    No chemicals. No side effects. Just natural restoration.

    And every time I made another one, I wasn’t just feeding myself…

    I was reclaiming myself.

    🍇 You were designed to heal.

    But your body can’t run on poison and expect to thrive.

    Give it what it needs—what the earth still freely offers.

    🐝 Start with something as simple as a smoothie.

    Top it with bee pollen.

    Blend in love.

    And sip your way back to life.

    Because healing is possible.

    And sometimes, it starts with just one small, powerful choice.

  • I'm DONE

    ✋ The moment I said “I’m done”—my healing began.

    There’s a breaking point in every recovery story.

    It’s not pretty.

    It’s not polished.

    But it’s real.

    For me, it came after years of addiction:

    12 years of prescriptions.

    12 years of pretending.

    12 years of slowly fading from the man I was created to be.

    💔 I looked in the mirror one morning and didn’t recognize the face staring back. Empty eyes. Sunken soul. And I whispered, “I’m done.”

    That was the day everything started to change.

    > “Healing doesn’t always begin with a plan. Sometimes, it begins with surrender.”

    — The Happiness Effect

    That decision didn’t fix everything overnight. But it opened the door to everything that would follow—

    Nature. Gratitude. Truth.

    And a slow, steady return to who I really was.

    🌱 Friend, if you’re here today reading this, maybe you’re ready too.

    Not ready to be perfect.

    Not ready to have it all figured out.

    Just ready to be done with the lie that says you’re too far gone.

    Because you're not.

    You were created for more.

    You can still be whole.

    You can still be Fixed by Nature.
