68: Heck Yeah Self-Control

When it comes to food, boundaries give you freedom. Setting up walls of discernment about what’s really worth it to you to eat (Heck Yeah!) spares you the shame, guilt, negotiation and overall mind drama when it comes to food. You don’t have to give up your favorite chips, cookies or other treat foods- you just have to be thoughtful and intentional about incorporating them into your diet.

If you feel like your boundary walls have been dynamited or you’re still wandering the wilderness of sugar, flour and alcohol, then this week’s podcast is for you. I’m sharing strategy and scripture to help you rebuild your walls and maintain self-control.

65: Why You Need More Protein

I feel like when we see Jesus in a food scene in the Bible it’s often with fish and bread. And maybe some wine. LOL  And when the Isrealites were wandering the wilderness all those years, God provided them meat (quail) and bread. I think it’s important in this plant-centric dietary space we’re in to remember that Biblical people were not exclusively vegetarians. Now, listen, I love veggies and want you to eat a bunch of them. Eat fruit, too. Grains? If you can handle them. Many people can’t due to compromised guts - a problem our Biblical ancestors didn’t have like we do today. (They didn’t have glyphosate and antibiotics and drive-thrus).
God provided us food from both the plant and animal kingdoms (Gen 1:29 & Gen 9:3). The balance is what leads to our optimal health!
In this week’s podcast we’re talking protein: why you need it, how much you need and why animal sources provide superior amino acid utilization.
It’s the macronutrient of satiety, body composition and the skeletal muscle that leads to longevity.

63: Your Sun Prescription: Sun, Food, Supplements, Zinc

I love considering our bodies in the context of the symbiotic relationship we share with all of God’s creation - the sun, the moon,the water, the land, the plants, the animals. To me there’s nothing more natural or holistic than considering health from this kind of perspective. I call it the Genesis Prescription  - this idea that our very foundation of health starts with making sure we are in sync with the elements of creation.
In this week’s podcast we’re talking about the benefits of sun exposure, how to eat and supplement in order to burn less and how topical zinc is good for the skin!

61: Love Without Borders with Angela Braniff of This Gathered Nest

I think as women and mothers, we are always looking at others and making critical commentary on ourselves. Author Angela Braniff said when people found out she wanted to adopt another child or have more biologically, people looked at her like she was crazy or said she must be “vying for sainthood.”
But she never set out with this as her life plan. Who plans to have 2 biological children, adopt 4, birth two adopted embryos, homeschool them all and try to run a business from home at the same time? This was a story that unfolded as God led her. She had to let go of her “checklist life” and embrace the unexpected journey of God’s plan.
After reading this book, I HAD to get Angela on the podcast to hear more about how she even has time to brush her teeth much less orchestrate all she has going on.
She graciously joins me this week to share the beautiful, painful, messy, lovely and real story of letting go and letting God.

60: Body Weight Set Point and Busting Through Metabolic Plateaus

Picture your body weight set point like a thermostat. Your body gets comfortable at a certain number and works to keep you there by turning on and off hormones to keep it stable. This is great when you’re at your healthiest weight, but what if your set point, your “temperature setting,” has crept up to a place that is no longer comfortable for you? How do you get your thermostat to blow the right hormonal “air” for a better target weight?
Check out this week’s podcast as we talk about the concepts and strategies that can shift your set point and bust through metabolic plateaus!
