One of the questions I am often asked is: Should I/Can I workout while I’m fasting?

In this week’s episode, fasting and fitness expert Melissa McAllister is joining me to discuss who is a good fit for fasted workouts PLUS how to best target meal timing.

This week’s episode is about something that nobody really talks about in the conventional OR functional health world, is relatively new in the scientific world and is probably YEARS away from being part of the conversation in the mainstream health world. But once you know and understand the impact of the concept, you can’t ignore it as one of the biggest missing pieces of the health puzzle. 

God made our bodies with a special kind of water inside the cell that acts like a powerful battery. The better you make and take care of this water - the less you’re going to get sick, the better you’re going to maintain optimal weight and the more energy you’re going to have to go about your day. People who struggle with low energy and overeating could benefit enormously by understanding and taking advantage of the battery-like power of our metabolic water.

Listen in to hear about - what may be cutting edge science - but is one of the most profound ways God made our body to maintain order and health.

Bet you didn’t know there’s a wrong way to hydrate but there is. I’m a little cringey when I hear people say they drink a gallon of water a day (made popular recently by the 75 Hard Challenge). There is a thing as TOO much water and, for most people, a gallon is too much. It can flush out the minerals you need for your body to be able to actually get water into the cell so you can be hydrated (not to mention you’ll be peeing your brains out!). The goal is hydration - not a certain amount of water. 

In this week’s podcast episode, Carly and I are talking about:

• The minerals you need for proper hydration

• Our favorite electrolytes and other “nutritious fluids”

• The best filtering options for water

Come listen and refine your water goals to ensure you’re actually getting hydrated!

While you’re growing your muscle capacity and protein capacity this New Year, let’s work on growing your capacity to believe that you are capable and worthy of the things God is calling you to. I’ve struggled with Imposter Syndrome for over 10 years and nobody talks about it enough. It’s that voice inside your head that says - Who Do You Think You Are? 

It usually comes with big dreams and goals and is one of the biggest barriers to stepping into your God-given purpose and gifts.

In this week’s podcast episode we’re talking about the beauty (and pain) of growing your capacity and overcoming limiting beliefs. The new year is the perfect time to believe that He can do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us. 🙏❤️

In this week’s episode we’re talking about changing the way the body looks - both the individual body and the Body of Christ. The quickest way to reshape your body is with more protein and more muscle. The quickest way to reshape the Body of Christ is for each of its individual members to be in good health. When individual bodies feel well, the entire Body of Christ shows up more vibrantly.

Come listen to how we strengthen ourselves in spirit, mind and body so that we live into all God has planned for us to do. When we feel well, we serve well and, collectively, that makes us a greater force in the world.

Lean Mass is the sum weight of your skeletal muscle, organs, skin, bones and body water. Fat Mass is the amount of fat in your body. As we age (which, sadly, starts in our 30’s) we begin to lose muscle mass. The less muscle we have, the worse our metabolism works. Muscle is one of our greatest metabolic assets because it serves as a storage tank for carbs. The less muscle we have to store glucose, the more quickly it turns to fat. Thus, we start conceding more lean mass over to fat mass which is a major metabolic nightmare!

I recently had a body composition scan to assess my lean mass versus fat mass (scale weight doesn’t give you any insight into this important ratio). In this week’s episode, I’m telling you all about it in case it’s something you might want to do too.

The Bible serves us up some really good insight when it comes to how and what we should eat. Red meat, fat, dairy and salt are all part of the provision God has given us as part of our diet and, yet, these are some of the most controversial and demonized foods among modern dietary “experts.”

In this week’s podcast, Maureen Diaz, the founder of God’s Good Table, is talking about THE EXPERT when it comes to our bodies and how we can find health, healing and hope through timeless principles rooted in God’s Word.

So many women believe their beauty, brains and bones are destined to take a nosedive as they age. They’re convinced they’re genetically doomed to repeat family patterns of weight gain, hair loss, osteoporosis and other chronic diseases.
Leslie is on the podcast this week to tell us it’s NOT TRUE! We have so much power over the aging process. Being frumpy and dumpy does not have to be our fate.

Come listen as we talk about everything from fun beauty tools to functional blood tests and how modern advice to reduce cholesterol, take calcium and avoid hormones often works against us. It’s always a juicy convo when Leslie is on the pod!
