185: Sacred Rest with Carly Stagg, FNP
God establishes the value of rest right from the beginning. (Genesis 2:3) But rest is SO much more than just sleep. Rest is stopping people pleasing. Rest is stretching your muscles. Rest is allowing time for God to pop creative ideas into your head. Rest is soaking in nature and beautiful art. Rest is unplugging from sensory overload. Rest is plugging IN to God’s Word.
In this week’s episode, Carly and I discuss God’s call for us to rest and the different ways we can do that. We also talk about how our health takes a hormonal nosedive when we constantly put work before rest.
Come take a deep breath, listen and be reminded why you’ve got to slow down sister. Your Almighty Creator calls you to rest and to know that your work is not the most important thing - He is.

184: Toxins and Terrain
Have you ever wondered why some people “catch” the flu and some don’t? Or why one person experiences a bacterial or viral infection worse than another person? Or why some people do all the preventative things - mask up, use hand sanitizer, take vitamin C, get a vaccine - and they STILL get it and other people who don’t do any of those things and don’t?
In this week’s episode we’re talking about the way toxins impact our inner body environment (terrain) and make us more susceptible to infection and nefarious side effects. Listen in to learn why we need to focus more on terrain than germs, which toxins increase your illness and how a good detox protocol can really help.

183: Clean(ish) with Gin Stephens
In this week’s episode, Gin Stephens and I talk about her book Clean(ish) which is an informative guide about cleaning up your food and home environment without becoming overly dogmatic or fixated on an unattainable level of perfection. The more we can minimize the toxins that we put in and on our body, the less it has to struggle to stay healthy and maintain optimal weight. Most people don’t realize how modern toxins (things our ancestors didn’t have to deal with) interfere with our hormones and promote fat accumulation. 😱
It can be overwhelming to try and remove the overload of toxins we’re exposed to on a daily basis, but each little change you make can add up to a big difference: a hand soap here, a cleaning product there, a new, upgraded lip gloss when you run out of your old.
Listen in as Gin and I discuss food, products, fasting and all the ways we can clean up our bodies without putting too much pressure on ourselves along the way.

180: Fat & Carb Energy Toxicity
If you want to be metabolically fit, it’s important to understand the way your body burns carbohydrates and fats as energy. It generally focuses on one fuel source at a time and, because carbs turn to sugar, it’s the metabolic priority. You can’t have too much sugar circulating so the body has to deal with it first. The problem is, if you’re keeping your body too busy burning sugar, it doesn’t have the opportunity to burn fat. This leads to fat accumulation and, over time, a less efficient metabolism.
In this week’s episode, we’re talking about how to avoid energy toxicity so that your body can burn both carbs and fats effectively. We use strategies like the carb/fat seesaw, fasting and exercise in order to stay metabolically fit.
