#289: God Designed Your Body to Heal - Here's the Blueprint

WEBVTT
00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:08.320
I feel like a lot of people that find themselves in the holistic space, it's because we've hit our own brick walls in the conventional medical system.
00:00:08.320 --> 00:00:09.839
And that was true for me.
00:00:14.720 --> 00:00:24.399
If you're tired of doing all the right things and still feeling exhausted, stuck in your body, and disconnected from God, this podcast is for you.
00:00:24.399 --> 00:00:25.120
I'm Dr.
00:00:25.120 --> 00:00:34.399
Tabatha, a triple board certified functional medicine physician, and I help women stop fighting their bodies and start healing them God's way.
00:00:34.399 --> 00:00:36.079
Let's get into it.
00:00:41.679 --> 00:00:43.520
Well, hello again.
00:00:43.759 --> 00:00:44.880
How are you, Ashlee?
00:00:45.119 --> 00:00:45.439
You know what?
00:00:45.439 --> 00:00:46.479
I'm doing awesome.
00:00:46.560 --> 00:00:47.439
How about you?
00:00:47.439 --> 00:00:53.119
I love that you say awesome when we just had 20 minutes of painful tech.
00:00:53.119 --> 00:00:54.159
Painful.
00:00:54.159 --> 00:00:55.359
Oh my goodness.
00:00:55.359 --> 00:00:57.600
Okay, apparently it was only 11 minutes.
00:00:58.479 --> 00:01:04.319
I wasn't gonna call you out, but I feel like we're so used to tech problems that we're just rolling with it.
00:01:04.319 --> 00:01:04.640
Yes.
00:01:04.959 --> 00:01:05.840
We're not gonna be stopped.
00:01:05.840 --> 00:01:07.280
No, we will not be stopped.
00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:14.400
And I will acknowledge that we prayed over it and it was immediately corrected.
00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:17.920
So it's either we have an awesome podcast team.
00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:19.040
There, there's that.
00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:20.480
And then there's Jesus.
00:01:20.480 --> 00:01:22.799
But yay, I'm so excited for today.
00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:24.560
Jesus works through people.
00:01:24.560 --> 00:01:25.439
Absolutely.
00:01:25.439 --> 00:01:28.079
Origin man.
00:01:28.799 --> 00:01:30.079
Thank you, Paul and Wally.
00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:30.719
Okay.
00:01:30.719 --> 00:01:34.640
Jesus is also working through our guests today.
00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:45.439
And when we first connected, I was like my jaw to the floor because we were literally saying some of the same things from different parts of the country and we didn't know each other.
00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:48.480
And so that's how cool God is, right?
00:01:48.879 --> 00:01:50.079
Well, it's so needed.
00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:54.159
What we're doing, this work that we're doing, we need more than one person doing it.
00:01:54.159 --> 00:01:55.359
So it's amazing.
00:01:55.359 --> 00:02:01.840
And yeah, when we were um prepping and listening to podcasts, it's when you listen to Chelsea, you hear what you're saying.
00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:02.640
So it's really cool.
00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:03.040
Yeah.
00:02:03.040 --> 00:02:05.359
I'm excited for our audience to hear her attendance.
00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:09.599
But she has her own unique message and way of presenting it.
00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:10.719
So I'm excited.
00:02:10.719 --> 00:02:13.759
Let me dive in and just sing her praises really quick.
00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:18.319
Chelsea Blackbird, she's known as the Christian nutritionist.
00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:22.479
And so you may have heard me refer to myself as the Christian physician.
00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:23.599
Let's go, ladies.
00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:24.159
Okay.
00:02:24.159 --> 00:02:27.680
She is host of the Christian Health Club podcast.
00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:29.840
I'm reading her stuff over here.
00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:36.080
And co-founder, this is incredible, of the School of Christian Health and Nutrition.
00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:37.840
Oh my gosh.
00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:47.680
So not only is she really smart and she's helping spread the message, but she's training other nutritionists in the way that she practices.
00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:49.360
So we are gonna dive in.
00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:52.400
She is board certified in quantum biology.
00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:53.439
What the heck is that?
00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:55.120
We're gonna talk about that.
00:02:55.120 --> 00:03:06.719
And she has this incredible gift of bridging modern science with a biblical worldview to help women understand their metabolism and their hormones and healing through stewardship and faith.
00:03:06.719 --> 00:03:08.879
So we're gonna dive into all of that.
00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:11.599
So, Chelsea, welcome.
00:03:11.599 --> 00:03:13.199
You are amazing.
00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:16.479
Oh my gosh, right back at you.
00:03:16.479 --> 00:03:18.240
I am so happy to be here.
00:03:18.240 --> 00:03:26.639
I am so happy that we've connected because yes, we are, I think we need a lot of people in this space doing this kind of kingdom work.
00:03:26.639 --> 00:03:30.319
And so I'm just so happy to know you and all that you're doing and really excited to be here.
00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:31.439
Oh, so good.
00:03:31.599 --> 00:03:40.960
And yeah, I didn't even mention she has created something called Feast to Fast, which is kind of like fast to faith, and then the Genesis prescription.
00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:43.680
So let's dive into all of this.
00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:46.080
Where would you love to start, Chelsea?
00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:55.680
I feel like we should start with stewarding our bodies as Christian women, but I would love for you to just kind of open us up and guide us in this conversation.
00:03:55.680 --> 00:03:59.120
And how the heck did you get to be in this position?
00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:04.960
Yeah, well, I can tell you it's nothing I ever planned, thought I would be doing.
00:04:04.960 --> 00:04:06.639
Total God thing.
00:04:06.639 --> 00:04:15.759
Uh, so I feel like a lot of people that find themselves in the holistic space, it's because we've hit our own brick walls in the conventional medical system.
00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:17.199
And that was true for me.
00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:34.560
Um, I grew up with digestive issues, a genetic skin condition that I went to doctors for for like 20 years, did everything, every pill, every cream, I had minor surgery, I had invasive major surgery for that.
00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:39.519
And you know, after a while, they were just like, Well, we've kind of done everything we can do for you.
00:04:39.519 --> 00:04:43.439
And so I was like, all right, well, this is my cross to bear.
00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:47.199
I just gotta live with this, you know, digestive issues, the skin condition.
00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:50.399
This is just what I, you know, everybody's got their thing, right?
00:04:50.399 --> 00:04:54.079
And ours and our family is we can't poop and we have bad skin.
00:04:54.079 --> 00:04:55.040
That's just who we are.
00:04:55.040 --> 00:04:57.839
And so I guess I'm just gonna live with that for the rest of my life.
00:04:57.839 --> 00:04:59.120
That's just kind of where I was.
00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:13.120
And it wasn't until um my husband and I were ready to start a family, and I had control trouble conceiving and got a diagnosis of unexplained infertility, which, as you very well know, that means they don't really know what's wrong with you.
00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:19.519
And so they were recommending me to go down the uh, you know, the whole infertility journey and route.
00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:23.279
And I was I was ready to do that because all I ever wanted to be was a mom.
00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:25.519
My husband was not on board with that.
00:05:25.519 --> 00:05:27.759
He uh said, We're not doing that.
00:05:27.759 --> 00:05:41.920
And that was a pretty tough time in our marriage because I felt like he was preventing us from doing, you know, from fulfilling this dream I had of being a mother, and to make matters worse, so you gotta understand my husband is a uh he's a cattle rancher.
00:05:41.920 --> 00:05:53.920
We live in Texas, he we raise grass-fed beef, and he's like, Listen, he's like, there's just sometimes when you turn the heifers out in the pasture, like things just don't take, okay?
00:05:53.920 --> 00:05:55.040
It can take a while.
00:05:55.040 --> 00:05:58.639
And so I was like, Are you seriously comparing me to the heifers?
00:05:58.639 --> 00:05:59.600
Are you serious right now?
00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:00.959
This is not helping the case.
00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:04.480
So um, anyway, that was really tough, but he wasn't budging.
00:06:04.480 --> 00:06:11.519
So I was like, All right, uh, I was trying to figure out anything I could do to help myself in this situation, you know.
00:06:11.519 --> 00:06:12.720
Like, is there anything I can do?
00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:15.040
And so I started, you know, reading about nutrition.
00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:22.480
I found a naturopathic doctor, went to him, uh, he changed my diet, gave me some supplements.
00:06:22.480 --> 00:06:27.439
I also read a book called Changing uh Your What is it, Your Infertility.
00:06:27.439 --> 00:06:33.600
Oh gosh, I'm thinking I can't blanking on the book right now, but I read a really good book that taught me about my body because I didn't know about my body.
00:06:33.600 --> 00:06:35.439
A lot of women don't know about their body.
00:06:35.439 --> 00:06:38.399
Um and six weeks later I was pregnant.
00:06:38.399 --> 00:06:41.600
And I was like, Are you kidding me?
00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:43.759
I mean, on one hand, of course, I am elated.
00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:45.199
I am so happy.
00:06:45.199 --> 00:07:04.639
And on the other hand, I was really ticked off because I was like, what no doctor ever asked me what I was eating, um, you know, bridging the gap with any kind of supplements, giving me any lifestyle recommendations, and so I got pregnant easily, naturally, and also over time with continued um good dietary and lifestyle practices.
00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:13.600
My digestive issues went away, my skin condition, my genetic skin condition that they said could never, you know, be reversed, uh, went away.
00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:16.240
I totally managed that through diet and lifestyle.
00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:18.000
And I've had three kids.
00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:25.199
And so um, so that was really what opened my eyes, and I I got so passionate about health and wellness.
00:07:25.199 --> 00:07:32.879
I started reading a bunch and uh went back to get my certification as a nutritional therapy practitioner with really no plan to help anybody.
00:07:32.879 --> 00:07:34.879
I just wanted my friends and my family to listen to me.
00:07:34.879 --> 00:07:36.639
Uh, you can probably relate, nobody will listen.
00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:40.000
I'm like, maybe if I have some letters behind my name, they will listen.
00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:41.120
They still don't.
00:07:41.120 --> 00:07:53.040
But um, even though I had no plans to do anything with it, I just felt God calling me to it because I was like, gosh, if I can help one person like me, if I could change one person's life, it would be so worth it.
00:07:53.040 --> 00:07:57.439
Uh felt him calling me to call myself the Christian nutritionist.
00:07:57.439 --> 00:08:04.000
I was very resistant to that because I've always been Christian, but very private in my faith.
00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:09.519
I, you know, I felt like that was very evangelical to put myself out there like that.
00:08:09.519 --> 00:08:15.279
And so I was like, nope, no God, you ask somebody else, you know, not me.
00:08:15.279 --> 00:08:22.879
But you know how God is when He's really just kind of pressing into your mind and your soul to do something and just doesn't let up.
00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:26.079
And so I was like, fine, you know, all right, I'll do this.
00:08:26.079 --> 00:08:30.959
And so that was about 12 or 13 years ago, and I've been doing it ever since.
00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:32.159
Wow.
00:08:32.159 --> 00:08:42.720
I just want to point out where I see God in your story, and the fact that your husband stood his ground and spoke up.
00:08:42.720 --> 00:08:48.000
I truly believe God was using him to get you to where you are today.
00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:52.240
Like, what a beautiful setup from the very beginning, right?
00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:59.360
He knew the struggle you were gonna go through, and God made it clear like that's not what we're doing.
00:08:59.360 --> 00:09:05.679
I'm about to teach you some things, and then you're gonna turn around and you're gonna help countless women.
00:09:05.679 --> 00:09:10.480
So that is so beautiful, and I just wanted to give God the glory for that really quick.
00:09:10.480 --> 00:09:17.360
But um, yeah, the fact that you got pregnant in six weeks tells so much.
00:09:17.360 --> 00:09:21.200
Really, food is information, right?
00:09:21.200 --> 00:09:28.639
And we don't realize what we're telling our body all the time when we're putting that food in our mouth.
00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:36.639
So I would love for you to talk about the modern food system and God's design for how we should be eating.
00:09:36.639 --> 00:09:39.840
And why is there so much confusion?
00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:43.679
And um, what do you think was your biggest aha?
00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:47.200
Was it I need more fatty acids in my diet?
00:09:47.200 --> 00:09:48.559
Was that key for you?
00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:56.159
Because honestly, that is one of the biggest things that the ovary does need to be healthy and make hormones, right?
00:09:56.960 --> 00:09:57.919
Absolutely.
00:09:57.919 --> 00:10:06.320
So one of the or a few of the supplements that that naturopathy given me were some essential fatty acids because I was deficient.
00:10:06.320 --> 00:10:16.799
Um, and you know, this was at the time kind of coming off the end of I mean, a lot of people still do think, you know, fats are bad for you, but at the time it was worse.
00:10:16.799 --> 00:10:20.480
I think, you know, people have a better understanding now that uh fats are healthy.
00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:24.639
But I can remember one of the aha moments I had when I was first putting all this together.
00:10:24.639 --> 00:10:31.919
And it, you know, at the time, and this will show you how long ago it was, you know, people were saying, Oh, avocados are fatty.
00:10:31.919 --> 00:10:32.960
You gotta watch that.
00:10:32.960 --> 00:10:34.000
You can't eat a lot of fat.
00:10:34.000 --> 00:10:39.039
And I remember thinking, okay, wait, uh avocados grow on trees and God made trees.
00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:39.759
I don't get that.
00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:41.759
Like that doesn't make any sense to me, right?
00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:48.960
And so this was part of this opening my eyes to, yeah, what is nutrition?
00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:50.639
How did God intend us to eat?
00:10:50.639 --> 00:10:54.480
Because there's so much confusion out there, so much conflicting advice.
00:10:54.480 --> 00:11:03.840
You can look on social media, you can look on the TV, you can open a book, and you can see uh, you know, two different sides on the same issue of you know, what and what you shouldn't eat.
00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:06.080
And so it's very confusing for people.
00:11:06.080 --> 00:11:10.559
And so to me, it just became very clear well, what is what does scripture say?
00:11:10.559 --> 00:11:17.840
I mean, the creator of our bodies knows what our bodies need, he made the perfect food, the perfect provision for our bodies.
00:11:17.840 --> 00:11:33.039
And so, very simply to me, it's you know, Genesis 129, God made plants, Genesis 9.3, God gave us animal foods, and I think the combination of those in the cleanest forms you can eat, to put it most simply, is uh what we should be going for.
00:11:33.039 --> 00:11:36.159
I've had a lot of questions over the years like, well, shouldn't we be vegetarian?
00:11:36.159 --> 00:11:38.159
Because you know, we started out in the Garden of Eden.
00:11:38.159 --> 00:11:40.559
I don't know if you've gotten that a lot, but I have.
00:11:40.559 --> 00:11:43.600
Um and I was like, well, you know, we did start there.
00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:47.679
We I don't know if you read much past Genesis, we don't stay there.
00:11:47.679 --> 00:11:49.840
We get kicked out of the garden.
00:11:49.840 --> 00:11:55.039
Uh and God does give us animal foods, access to animal foods to eat.
00:11:55.039 --> 00:12:02.399
And so um, I just that's where I believe, you know, we find our best health is in, you know, both the plant and the animal kingdom.
00:12:02.399 --> 00:12:05.039
Each has uh great things to offer us.
00:12:05.039 --> 00:12:09.279
Um, and so I think the combination of the two is really where we find our best nutrition.
00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:10.480
A hundred percent.
00:12:10.480 --> 00:12:28.159
And I know Ashley has countless stories of clients and patients coming to us on a vegan diet or a vegetarian diet, and they're 30 pounds overweight and they're exhausted, and they their hormones are a hot raging mess, and we're like, you need to eat meat.
00:12:28.159 --> 00:12:32.559
And they look at us sideways like, I thought that was unhealthy.
00:12:32.559 --> 00:12:37.919
I thought fat made you fat, especially red meat, you know, that's not healthy.
00:12:37.919 --> 00:12:40.559
That's what all my cardiologist says.
00:12:40.559 --> 00:12:52.240
And when they finally come to understand and they trust us and they go through the process and the weight falls off, and they start to feel like the best they've ever felt.
00:12:52.240 --> 00:13:20.639
Ashley, can you just speak to this really quick because I know somebody's listening right now who is really still on the fence, and they're like, Yeah, but yeah, you know what's super wild is I got my hair done this morning, and my hairdresser and I were talking about um vegetarians and vegans, and um she was sharing how one of her best friends is, and she was saying that all she feels like she eats is carbs when she watches her because it's like, what are you eating?
00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:23.039
And so, yeah, we see this so often.
00:13:23.039 --> 00:13:30.879
Women just I think they think healthy is um like vegetables, and so it feels safe for them to just eat vegetables.
00:13:30.879 --> 00:13:40.399
And so um when we use recipes that have meat in them and they start to get it, they realize they have energy and that they can move better, that their joints don't hurt.
00:13:40.399 --> 00:13:41.919
So, yeah, definitely.
00:13:42.320 --> 00:13:47.919
Especially when you are still having periods and you need that iron and all those good things inside of it.
00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:55.440
Yes, I was actually just sharing um that we were talking about cycles, and I was telling her all weekend all I wanted was a steak.
00:13:55.440 --> 00:14:00.320
And it was because I had started my cycle and we were at this event, and they were not serving any red meat.
00:14:00.320 --> 00:14:05.120
And so Sunday we got it on their way home, and I was so pumped to get some red meat.
00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:05.600
Yeah.
00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:06.720
So it's so important.
00:14:06.720 --> 00:14:07.519
Oh my gosh.
00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:31.759
Yeah, Chelsea, I would love for you to explain to the listeners a little bit more about, you know, the difference between God's food and the standard American diet, because, you know, we talk a lot about this, but I see this a ton in the vegetarian world, is they turn to processed foods because there are so few foods that you can eat.
00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:35.120
You can only eat broccoli so many different ways, right?
00:14:35.759 --> 00:14:36.879
Right, exactly.
00:14:36.879 --> 00:14:37.919
It's very limiting.
00:14:37.919 --> 00:14:43.600
And like I said, God gave us the glorious plant kingdom, but he also gave us the glorious animal kingdom.
00:14:43.600 --> 00:14:52.399
And what is so interesting is when you look in scripture, if you look in Leviticus, he specifically recommends red meat to the Israelites.
00:14:52.399 --> 00:14:53.759
Like he points it out.
00:14:53.759 --> 00:15:00.159
He is, you know, recommending um the animals that have a split hoof and chew the cud.
00:15:00.159 --> 00:15:13.120
And um, and so that includes, you know, cattle, bison, deer, goat, sheep, and these are all ruminant animals that have a special four-part chambered stomach.
00:15:13.120 --> 00:15:36.480
And the beauty, the miraculous design, the way God designed this, is that they eat all the plant foods that we can't digest, that we cannot eat, and they turn them into protein, into healthy fats that our body takes and uses and loves and turns into our muscles and our bones and our hair and our skin and all these wonderful things.
00:15:36.480 --> 00:15:43.440
And so it's just really God's beautiful design is that the earth nourishes the animal and the animal nourishes us.
00:15:43.440 --> 00:15:55.759
And um, and so I think it's really interesting, you know, when people are like, ah, I shouldn't eat red meat, but right there in the Bible, the Lord is that's basically his prescription for the meat to eat.
00:15:55.759 --> 00:16:02.960
And then of course, you have, you know, some fish and different things, but um, he's not talking about the other white meat too often.
00:16:04.080 --> 00:16:04.399
Yes.
00:16:04.399 --> 00:16:05.440
Oh my goodness.
00:16:05.440 --> 00:16:14.879
And I would love for you to speak more about how important it is that what your animal eats is more important, right?
00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:16.480
Yes, exactly.
00:16:16.480 --> 00:16:21.440
What your animal eats, um, you know, you are what your animal eats eats, right?
00:16:21.440 --> 00:16:26.960
So we always want to be looking for the highest quality of all the food that we um that we're taking in.
00:16:26.960 --> 00:16:43.039
And so when it comes to red meat, when it comes to these animal meats, uh, the red meat especially, um, we want them to be eating their natural diet, just like God intended them to eat, you know, 100% grass-fed beef, um pastured chickens, uh, wild caught fish.
00:16:43.039 --> 00:16:50.159
You know, um, cattle were not meant to eat a bunch of corn, not, you know, genetically modified corn and soy.
00:16:50.159 --> 00:16:51.120
That's what they're given.
00:16:51.120 --> 00:16:54.720
They're in feedlots and they're given so much junk.
00:16:54.720 --> 00:16:59.279
They're also given like all this like leftover candy and all this nasty stuff.
00:16:59.279 --> 00:17:02.960
And, you know, that makes them unhealthy as an animal.
00:17:02.960 --> 00:17:10.240
It makes the, you know, the the fat, mostly the fat content of their body unhealthier.
00:17:10.240 --> 00:17:22.000
Um, what's really cool about God's design is that he designed us and animals to store toxins in our fat that keeps toxins away from our vital organs.
00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:24.480
And so um it's the same with animals.
00:17:24.480 --> 00:17:29.519
And so you really you want to, you know, that that wonderful healthy fat from animals is good for you.
00:17:29.519 --> 00:17:33.839
I always like to get people just thinking like common sense and critically.
00:17:33.839 --> 00:17:41.119
And you know, for those of us living in America, I mean, just think 150 years ago, the primary fat they were eating was animal fat.
00:17:41.119 --> 00:17:46.559
They weren't, you know, importing a lot of olives and coconuts and avocados and making avocados, you know what I mean?
00:17:46.559 --> 00:17:47.519
That wasn't happening.
00:17:47.519 --> 00:17:51.920
What was their primary uh fat intake was from animal fats.
00:17:51.920 --> 00:17:55.599
Um, and it's since we don't eat that anymore, we've had a real decline.
00:17:55.599 --> 00:18:09.359
But you want to have uh yeah, the animals eating their natural diet so they they can pass on all that nutrition to you, get those wonderful fat-soluble vitamins and you know, just other really good important vitamins and minerals from the meat and from the fat.
00:18:09.599 --> 00:18:14.240
Oh my gosh, I just had a flashback to my grandma eating her lard sandwich.
00:18:14.240 --> 00:18:23.839
Like she would eat lard sandwiches, and partially because she was in the depression when she was a child, but she lived to be over 95 years old.
00:18:23.839 --> 00:18:26.960
And so there's something to say about that.
00:18:26.960 --> 00:18:29.519
Um, so many good important points.
00:18:29.519 --> 00:18:34.240
Yes, we store all those toxins in our fats, and so do the animals.
00:18:34.240 --> 00:18:45.599
So it matters what your animal is eating, and it's not just a trend to get grass-fed beef or free-range pasture, you know, chickens.
00:18:45.599 --> 00:18:54.960
Like it really matters if they're eating the cornmeal, which is what we make corn syrup and all the toxic stuff for candy out of.
00:18:54.960 --> 00:18:59.119
Yeah, we're just gonna be fat and unhealthy, right?
00:18:59.599 --> 00:19:00.799
Yeah, that's right.
00:19:00.799 --> 00:19:05.279
Can I offer a tip to your listeners when it comes to this?
00:19:05.279 --> 00:19:08.400
Because I know, you know, right, groceries are so expensive.
00:19:08.400 --> 00:19:20.240
Um, and so as far as budget goes or even accessibility, you know, sometimes we're in little towns, we can't find, you know, maybe these upgraded uh meats and stuff, or maybe, you know, budget is a concern.
00:19:20.240 --> 00:19:25.759
And so I always recommend, even if I mean, we are we sell beef, right?
00:19:25.759 --> 00:19:33.759
We sell grass-fed beef, but I always tell people if you're looking at the meat aisle and you can only afford one or the other if you're upgrading, you know, your chicken and your beef.
00:19:33.759 --> 00:19:44.160
I actually say um, well, first of all, this tip if you if you can't afford grass-fed beef or pastured chicken, go for a little bit of a lower fat content.
00:19:44.160 --> 00:19:49.119
Just because we, you know, as we said, um, they're storing fats, uh toxins in their fats.
00:19:49.119 --> 00:19:54.400
And so if you're not getting the highest quality of meat, that would be an instance to go a little bit, you know, uh lower.
00:19:54.400 --> 00:19:57.359
Otherwise, I'm like, please eat all the animal fats because I do.
00:19:58.079 --> 00:20:03.200
That's why we get the sirloin at the Texas Roadhouse instead of the New York strip.
00:20:03.200 --> 00:20:03.599
Okay.
00:20:03.759 --> 00:20:04.000
Yeah.
00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:04.799
Ah, right.
00:20:04.799 --> 00:20:05.839
Just because of that, right?
00:20:05.839 --> 00:20:07.680
A little bit lower in fat content.
00:20:07.680 --> 00:20:17.839
The other one is that if you're gonna put your money and upgrade one meat or the other, I would put that um, you know, maybe more toward chicken and eat more conventional beef.
00:20:17.839 --> 00:20:32.880
And that's because beef is a, you know, has that ruminant stomach, it has more of a detoxification process than a monogastric animal like a chicken or a pig, and you're gonna have more of that toxin load.
00:20:32.880 --> 00:20:38.880
Um, they're gonna just have more of those um polyunsaturated fats and that kind of thing.
00:20:38.880 --> 00:20:40.559
Uh, you're gonna get more exposure to that.
00:20:40.559 --> 00:20:41.759
So that's one thing, you know.
00:20:41.759 --> 00:20:42.880
I try to be reasonable.
00:20:42.880 --> 00:20:49.200
I mean, it's always best to eat, you know, as upgraded as you can, but also just to have some options there.
00:20:49.200 --> 00:20:50.640
So I always like to tell people that.
00:20:50.880 --> 00:20:53.119
Yeah, I heard you say that on another podcast.
00:20:53.119 --> 00:20:54.960
I was like, that is so good.
00:20:54.960 --> 00:21:00.799
Because yeah, we're standing in the grocery store and we're just like feeling overwhelmed and frustrated.
00:21:00.799 --> 00:21:03.200
And so just simplify it.
00:21:03.200 --> 00:21:06.799
Like go for the red, high-quality meats first.
00:21:06.799 --> 00:21:11.440
If you gotta do the white meats, make sure they're more high quality.
00:21:11.440 --> 00:21:20.240
And then, you know, if you have to go with more of the conventional red meat because you had to spend more on the chicken and the turkey, great.
00:21:20.799 --> 00:21:21.119
Right.
00:21:21.119 --> 00:21:27.039
They're a little more forgiving, and then just go for a a less fatty cut of that red meat if that's the case.
00:21:27.440 --> 00:21:28.079
Love that.
00:21:28.079 --> 00:21:29.839
Yeah.
00:21:29.839 --> 00:21:41.839
I was actually thinking about so we do a half a cow, we split it with someone else, and we do we get pig, and it's it's expensive up front, but in the long run, it's actually cheaper, and you know where your meat comes from.
00:21:41.839 --> 00:21:45.359
So that's something else too that's huge if you can do it.
00:21:46.000 --> 00:21:49.519
Yes, and look, yeah, look for local, you know, ranchers and farmers.
00:21:49.519 --> 00:21:59.519
Obviously, we're you know, we are um selling our grass fed beef at farmers markets and stuff like that, and and we, you know, it is as reasonable as it is in the store.
00:21:59.519 --> 00:22:05.680
Know it kind of varies from um place to place, but a lot of times you can find it at the same price.
00:22:05.680 --> 00:22:09.599
You know, it can be reasonable or about the same price as what you find in the store.
00:22:09.599 --> 00:22:12.960
And definitely if you can buy it in bulk like that, that is awesome.
00:22:12.960 --> 00:22:18.640
Um, because yeah, it's a lot up front, but you get so much meat, and in the end, it's much more economical.
00:22:18.960 --> 00:22:19.279
Yeah.
00:22:19.279 --> 00:22:23.200
And don't rag on your husbands for wanting to go hunting.
00:22:23.200 --> 00:22:26.079
Cheer them up and tell them to bring you home a deer, right?
00:22:26.079 --> 00:22:28.640
Like go get that good food.
00:22:28.960 --> 00:22:30.799
I've got the venison in the freezer.
00:22:30.799 --> 00:22:32.240
Yeah, exactly.
00:22:32.559 --> 00:22:33.519
I love that.
00:22:33.519 --> 00:22:39.680
Real quick, I just want to interrupt this conversation for something super important.
00:22:39.680 --> 00:22:50.880
Even though we need to take care of ourselves spiritually, emotionally, and physically, we do have to take care of ourselves at a cellular level.
00:22:50.880 --> 00:22:54.400
And that is why I have my Fast to Face supplement line.
00:22:54.400 --> 00:23:02.559
So let's just take a minute to hear about something that might be the game changer that you need in this season.
00:23:03.039 --> 00:23:06.480
Here's one of the things that the GLP1 drugs don't do.
00:23:06.480 --> 00:23:08.640
They don't increase your metabolism.
00:23:08.640 --> 00:23:14.160
And they don't also increase your body's natural production of GLP1.
00:23:14.160 --> 00:23:19.279
What metabolit will do is it's a combination of plant extracts.
00:23:19.279 --> 00:23:21.839
So it's lemon verbena and hibiscus.
00:23:21.839 --> 00:23:30.640
Now, those two have been researched, studied, and patented together as a duo to increase GLP1 about 55% in the body.
00:23:30.640 --> 00:23:32.480
It's doing it naturally.
00:23:32.480 --> 00:23:38.240
It's gonna naturally help you lower cravings and you're gonna feel a little bit fuller.
00:23:38.240 --> 00:23:42.240
In the clinical trials, they studied obese and overweight patients.
00:23:42.240 --> 00:23:48.960
The obese patients lost on average 10 pounds over two months, and overweight it was eight pounds over two months.
00:23:48.960 --> 00:23:52.240
So this isn't gonna get you to the point where you don't ever want to eat.
00:23:52.240 --> 00:23:53.680
You're just not gonna feel as hungry.
00:23:53.680 --> 00:24:00.960
You're just mildly full, but you're still gonna be, you know, consuming food and then also increasing your metabolism as well.
00:24:03.599 --> 00:24:07.200
Okay, I do want to talk about gluten and grains.
00:24:07.200 --> 00:24:10.799
This is really important in our community.
00:24:10.799 --> 00:24:18.640
You know, removing gluten saved my life, and it obviously has had a tremendous impact on your health.
00:24:18.640 --> 00:24:23.599
Um, and then I heard you talking about this bread you were making, and I was like, wait, what, girl?
00:24:23.599 --> 00:24:24.960
What's going on here?
00:24:24.960 --> 00:24:31.920
So share your little trick with us how you get around the gluten-free issue.
00:24:32.400 --> 00:24:33.119
Okay, sure.
00:24:33.119 --> 00:24:33.440
Yeah.
00:24:33.440 --> 00:24:42.559
So I was gluten-free for 10 years, and that was one of the when I went to the naturopathic doctor, that is one of the things he recommended to take gluten out, um, which I did.
00:24:42.559 --> 00:24:44.960
And I have two ants that have celiac disease.
00:24:44.960 --> 00:24:51.519
So I was familiar and I had been on and off gluten-free, but you know, when I was, I would do anything to conceive a baby, right?
00:24:51.519 --> 00:24:53.039
So I was like, yeah, I'll go gluten-free.
00:24:53.039 --> 00:24:56.960
Went gluten-free um and stayed gluten-free for 10 years.
00:24:56.960 --> 00:25:04.000
And then about four years ago, I it was just it's kind of a god thing.
00:25:04.000 --> 00:25:13.839
I I just kind of fell into some information about freshly milled flour and how you know wheat has been so processed and so stripped.
00:25:13.839 --> 00:25:16.400
Well, first of all, I'd always had this cognitive dissonance.
00:25:16.400 --> 00:25:17.920
I'm like, Jesus is the bread of life.
00:25:17.920 --> 00:25:20.400
You know, I am I'm afraid of bread.
00:25:20.400 --> 00:25:25.839
I haven't eaten bread, or I'm making like almond flour bread and all these things, which are can be great alternatives, perfectly fine.
00:25:25.839 --> 00:25:30.799
Um, but I was like, gosh, I just had this kind of shame around eating bread, and I was like, this doesn't make any sense.
00:25:30.799 --> 00:25:32.640
God, you know, Jesus is the bread of life.
00:25:32.640 --> 00:25:37.440
So when I heard this information about this freshly milled flour, I was like, all right, I'll start listening.
00:25:37.440 --> 00:25:50.559
And basically the breakdown of it is that, you know, historically in biblical times, and you know, and just even our great-great-grandmothers, they would have eaten, um, they would have milled their own flour.
00:25:50.559 --> 00:25:58.319
Uh so, you know, gotten wheat berries, um, clean wheat berries, milled their own flour, which still has everything intact.
00:25:58.319 --> 00:26:05.279
So processed bread today processes everything in the wheat down to basically the starch and the gluten.
00:26:05.279 --> 00:26:16.000
Okay, you don't have the protective vitamin E, you don't have the B vitamins, you don't have all these other things that come with it that are healthful and also somewhat protective.
00:26:16.000 --> 00:26:26.400
If you want to sell flour on the store shelf, you have to remove the fatty acids, you have to remove the bran and the and the germ, you get rid of that, you know, the vitamin E because it will go rancid on the shelf.
00:26:26.400 --> 00:26:34.240
And so that was the processing of flour that just kind of you know took place and is in the place of our standard American diet now.
00:26:34.240 --> 00:26:46.720
But when you go back to the way uh bread was made historically by getting organic wheat grains, uh wheat berries, grinding them yourself, using them immediately to make bread, it can be very helpful, helpful.
00:26:46.720 --> 00:26:48.799
It has incredible health benefits.
00:26:48.799 --> 00:26:54.400
And so when I first heard this, it was real on the fence because you know I've been a holistic practitioner for a long time.
00:26:54.400 --> 00:26:56.480
I'm like, you gotta, you know, we gotta eat gluten-free.
00:26:56.480 --> 00:26:57.680
It's so inflammatory.
00:26:57.680 --> 00:27:05.680
And it and it can be, and I think for a lot of people, it is inflammatory, and maybe they need to, you know, stay stay that way.
00:27:05.680 --> 00:27:15.359
But I have also found a lot of people, even people with some autoimmune conditions, um, have been able to tolerate and use this bread really well healthfully.
00:27:15.359 --> 00:27:16.880
I was really on the fence.
00:27:16.880 --> 00:27:19.359
I bought all the stuff to grind my own wheat.
00:27:19.359 --> 00:27:21.440
It's really easy to do and make my own bread.
00:27:21.440 --> 00:27:23.920
It took me about three to six months to do it.
00:27:23.920 --> 00:27:25.839
I cried the first time I did it.
00:27:25.839 --> 00:27:28.079
It felt so weird.
00:27:28.079 --> 00:27:36.720
It's you know, so um against kind of like what I'd been preaching for so long, and I kind of I didn't realize I'd kind of taken up some identity with it, I think.
00:27:36.720 --> 00:27:39.599
Um but I felt completely fine.
00:27:39.599 --> 00:27:43.839
It was good, uh, made it for my family, and I've just I've been doing it ever since.
00:27:43.839 --> 00:27:45.839
And so it's been real interesting.
00:27:45.839 --> 00:27:51.039
Um it's been an interesting experiment, and I've talked to a lot of people about it.
00:27:51.039 --> 00:27:58.559
And I like I said, I'm still on board with gluten-free diets, especially when we're working towards um, you know, better health.
00:27:58.559 --> 00:28:02.720
Um but I think it can be added back in if done in the right way.
00:28:02.720 --> 00:28:04.160
I don't eat gluten otherwise.
00:28:04.160 --> 00:28:09.440
I only eat gluten if I have made it with my freshly melted flour with all the good nutrients intact.
00:28:10.240 --> 00:28:26.400
I think that's a really important point because it's the gluten, it's the bread products in this country and how we have just processed and overprocessed and overprocessed and just stripped all the health out of it.
00:28:26.400 --> 00:28:33.119
Um I I can eat gluten in Mexico and it doesn't bother me in the Dominican Republic.
00:28:33.119 --> 00:28:36.400
I've had patients go to Europe and they do just fine.
00:28:36.400 --> 00:28:39.519
It is literally what's happening in this country.
00:28:39.519 --> 00:28:41.599
And so I'm with you.
00:28:41.599 --> 00:28:58.480
I have struggled internally with this idea that Jesus is the bread of life, but I also believe, you know, he gave us manna and bread and all the things, but what we are not eating is not what God created, honestly.
00:28:58.480 --> 00:28:59.680
It just is not.
00:28:59.680 --> 00:29:01.920
We've bastardized it so much.
00:29:01.920 --> 00:29:13.680
So um thank you for explaining that when you get back to the natural way of how God created it, it actually doesn't cause an inappropriate immune response.
00:29:13.680 --> 00:29:18.160
It doesn't destroy your gut, it doesn't drive autoimmune conditions.
00:29:18.160 --> 00:29:24.559
It is the gluten and the bread products that we have created in this country.
00:29:24.559 --> 00:29:26.559
That is the problem, honestly.
00:29:26.960 --> 00:29:27.200
Right.
00:29:27.200 --> 00:29:37.359
When when you think about it, when it's truly stripped down to just the starch, which turns to sugar and the gluten, I mean, that's all your body is getting a big head of gluten and a big head of sugar.
00:29:37.359 --> 00:29:41.839
And you have there's no redeeming qualities whatsoever to it otherwise.
00:29:41.839 --> 00:29:48.240
But when you have it all intact, it's more balanced, it's providing, you know, it all works synergistically.
00:29:48.240 --> 00:29:54.799
The vitamin E and these B vitamins, it's all working really synergistically, and your body um sees that so well, right?
00:29:54.799 --> 00:29:56.000
It receives that so well.
00:29:56.000 --> 00:29:59.039
So it truly is a difference in quality.
00:29:59.279 --> 00:30:01.599
Yeah, and that's what I was addicted to.
00:30:01.599 --> 00:30:04.160
I was addicted to gluten and sugar.
00:30:04.160 --> 00:30:08.000
It was so doughy, so chewy, so fluffy.
00:30:08.000 --> 00:30:14.640
Gluten stands for glue, it holds it all together and is just like glue in your stomach.
00:30:14.640 --> 00:30:15.519
It's nasty.
00:30:15.519 --> 00:30:24.960
Um, yeah, and please speak to the fact that these gluten-free products or substitutes are almost always no better.
00:30:24.960 --> 00:30:29.359
So I'm like not a fain fan of grains in this country.
00:30:29.599 --> 00:30:32.400
I also would love to have you speak on the sourdough.
00:30:32.400 --> 00:30:41.440
Um, people get so obsessed with their sourdough, but then I've heard you say this before, they're using store-bought flour and it kind of just defeats the whole purpose.
00:30:41.839 --> 00:30:44.319
Yeah, I mean, it's a step in the right direction.
00:30:44.319 --> 00:30:46.319
The intention is amazing.
00:30:46.319 --> 00:30:54.319
But if you're using, and this is sad, but even if you're using organic flour, you go to the store, you're like, I'm gonna get the organic flour.
00:30:54.319 --> 00:31:01.599
It's still stripped of everything because it cannot be shelf stable if it has the fatty acids and such.
00:31:01.599 --> 00:31:03.920
So it is still processed flour.
00:31:03.920 --> 00:31:07.759
And so you can take that and make your sourdough, but you're still missing out.
00:31:07.759 --> 00:31:16.640
It's it's more easily digestible, all those good things, but it's still lacking those good nutrients, the vitamin E and the B vitamins.
00:31:16.640 --> 00:31:18.000
It's still stripped of those things.
00:31:18.000 --> 00:31:29.680
And so ultimately, the ideal, the gold star standard if you're gonna do bread would be to mill your own flour and you know, uh fermented sourdough and then make your bread.
00:31:29.680 --> 00:31:32.960
I haven't got to the sourdough thing yet.
00:31:32.960 --> 00:31:34.000
I mean, I'd like to.
00:31:34.000 --> 00:31:35.920
I just one step at a time.
00:31:35.920 --> 00:31:37.920
I'm doing the milled flour.
00:31:37.920 --> 00:31:39.039
I got that down.
00:31:39.039 --> 00:31:52.640
It's a lot to do, but I I think that's the the first step to take is to make sure the quality of your flour is, you know, the highest quality that you can get, and then and then do your sourdough from there.
00:31:53.039 --> 00:31:53.599
Awesome.
00:31:53.599 --> 00:32:02.640
All right, so something else that you talk about a lot is and it's something that I'm super passionate about because I I hate counting macros and all of that stuff.
00:32:02.640 --> 00:32:05.839
I like to just kind of know it, and the more I've studied it, I've learned it.
00:32:05.839 --> 00:32:09.680
And so something that you always say is that Bible women didn't count calories.
00:32:09.680 --> 00:32:14.000
So um, what can you go into that a little bit and talk about that a little bit?
00:32:14.319 --> 00:32:16.240
Yes, I'm allergic to numbers.
00:32:17.519 --> 00:32:18.720
I love that.
00:32:20.000 --> 00:32:21.279
I'm allergic to numbers.
00:32:21.279 --> 00:32:22.720
I do not have a math brain.
00:32:22.720 --> 00:32:26.799
I am, I will write all your English papers, but don't ask me to do any of your math.
00:32:26.799 --> 00:32:28.160
I tell my kids this all the time.
00:32:28.160 --> 00:32:34.079
Um, but so I I and I also I just don't like associating numbers with my food.
00:32:34.079 --> 00:32:36.480
I mean, talk about suck the joy out of it.
00:32:36.480 --> 00:32:39.920
And so, um, you know, but I always felt like that's what you had to do.
00:32:39.920 --> 00:32:45.119
You gotta count your calories and you know, count your macros to death and and track everything.
00:32:45.119 --> 00:32:47.519
And for some people, that works really well.
00:32:47.519 --> 00:32:50.160
I'm not saying that can't be a good tool.
00:32:50.160 --> 00:32:52.400
For some of us, it makes us crazy in the head.
00:32:52.400 --> 00:32:55.359
For me, it makes me crazy in the head, and I can't operate like that.
00:32:55.359 --> 00:33:01.200
And so, again, just thinking, I always like to just think back historically, like Bible women, they didn't even know what a calorie was.
00:33:01.200 --> 00:33:06.079
That didn't even exist until like the mid to late 1800s, the concept of a calorie.
00:33:06.079 --> 00:33:11.359
And so, you know, if they didn't have to count calories, then, you know, we don't have to.
00:33:11.359 --> 00:33:13.359
Now, true, we do live in a different time.
00:33:13.359 --> 00:33:20.000
We are um confronted with all kinds of, you know, a whole category of processed food that didn't used to exist.
00:33:20.000 --> 00:33:21.680
And so we have to be mindful.
00:33:21.680 --> 00:33:24.000
But I think you can you can definitely go about it.
00:33:24.000 --> 00:33:25.440
That's one of the things I love to teach.
00:33:25.440 --> 00:33:32.720
That's what's in my Feast to Fast program, is really just teaching the way that we can do that without having to count all the time.
00:33:32.720 --> 00:33:42.000
I think we do need to pay attention to our carbohydrates because that is that's the category, the macronutrient that has more foods, you know, processed foods than any of them.
00:33:42.000 --> 00:33:50.160
And so just you know, being mindful around what your carbohydrates, you know, kind of your carbohydrate load is, but that doesn't mean we have to count things to death.
00:33:50.160 --> 00:33:56.240
I also think there has to be grace in your diet, you know, grace and sustainability.
00:33:56.240 --> 00:33:58.400
That's another thing I think it's so important to teach.
00:33:58.400 --> 00:34:03.359
And just reminding women you're not gonna eat perfectly like every single day for the rest of your life.
00:34:03.359 --> 00:34:05.200
I mean, you just gotta take that burden off yourself.
00:34:05.200 --> 00:34:08.159
I mean, nobody's I don't eat perfectly, nobody's gonna eat perfectly.
00:34:08.159 --> 00:34:35.599
Um, you just have to find a way of eating that's sustainable that you know, sometimes we want to have a glass of wine with our girlfriends, or we wanna eat chocolate chip cookies with our kid, or we want to go on vacation and splurge or have pie at Thanksgiving or whatever it is, and you gotta build that into your diet and have grace, and so you're not feeling guilty every time you do that, and then you know, like, ah, I screwed up, I gotta start over with a diet, you know, on Monday, and then you're just swinging all over the place with all these different diets.
00:34:35.599 --> 00:34:44.320
So all of that said, what all of that is pointing to, whether it's counting or just finding that grace, is just having some peace around food, right?
00:34:44.320 --> 00:34:52.079
Like we should not be thinking, like the biggest real estate of our mind should not be like food and diet and the scale and what size our clothes are we are wearing.
00:34:52.079 --> 00:34:57.679
Our biggest portion of our mind should be going to the Lord and our blessings and our purpose and how we can fulfill that.
00:34:57.679 --> 00:35:07.199
And so um, I think a lot of that comes down to yes, eating clean, but also finding that that grace in the way that we eat as well.
00:35:07.519 --> 00:35:10.320
Yeah, I think that's really, really important.
00:35:10.320 --> 00:35:37.679
And, you know, one of the driving principles behind fast to faith is when you go into a fasted state and you stop relying on food to feed all of your fleshly desires and you start feeding on Jesus, like those desires will be quenched in a different way, and then you can start to change your relationship with food and see it for what it actually is.
00:35:37.679 --> 00:35:41.119
And I'm like you, like we should enjoy it.
00:35:41.119 --> 00:35:59.599
There is a time and a place, but it is not to fill our sadness and our loneliness or our boredom or our stress or all of these things, and we do have to give ourselves grace and say it is okay to enjoy food, but we just have to change our relationship around it.
00:35:59.760 --> 00:36:01.599
So yes, exactly.
00:36:01.920 --> 00:36:04.320
I love all the work you're doing around that.
00:36:04.320 --> 00:36:09.840
Um in addition to that, you talk about this quantum biology.
00:36:09.840 --> 00:36:12.480
Where does that fit in with nutrition?
00:36:12.480 --> 00:36:15.440
And um tell us more.
00:36:15.440 --> 00:36:18.000
Like, I I just love this so much.
00:36:18.400 --> 00:36:19.440
Oh, I love it too.
00:36:19.440 --> 00:36:20.079
So fun.
00:36:20.079 --> 00:36:38.159
Okay, so you know, after working mainly in nutrition for six to seven years, you know, with people and really focusing on that, I felt the Lord, you know, calling me more into looking at other pieces, um and really driving me to the book of Genesis and looking at the creation story.
00:36:38.159 --> 00:36:43.280
And, you know, he made our bodies, always say he made our bodies in relation to creation, right?
00:36:43.280 --> 00:36:45.840
One of those is food, plant foods, animal foods.
00:36:45.840 --> 00:36:47.440
We see that in the creation story.
00:36:47.440 --> 00:36:50.400
That's what he um has provided us, right?
00:36:50.400 --> 00:36:58.239
Uh but he also made sunshine and water and nature of the earth and you know, grounding, putting our feet on the ground, picking up electrons.
00:36:58.239 --> 00:37:02.320
He also uh blew breath um through our nose, not our mouth.
00:37:02.320 --> 00:37:03.920
We should be breathing through our nose.
00:37:03.920 --> 00:37:06.000
That's the that's the sign of peaceful breath.
00:37:06.000 --> 00:37:10.480
Um he calls us to sleep and to rest into Sabbath, he calls us into fellowship and movement.
00:37:10.480 --> 00:37:17.519
And I just found that all of these lifestyle practices and things that are important to health are just right there in the creation story.
00:37:17.519 --> 00:37:22.000
And so I just felt this like the Genesis prescription in my head.
00:37:22.000 --> 00:37:29.039
And so um I really started focusing on kind of that whole package of not just food, but all of those things.
00:37:29.039 --> 00:37:50.000
And and that led me into quantum biology and understanding how our body uses sunlight, how it, you know, how it make how our bodies make water internally, and the difference between that and the water that we drink, the way that our our bodies are uh should be negatively charged, and that we can get electrons from the earth that are negatively charged that run our body.
00:37:50.000 --> 00:37:56.960
And so, what quantum biology is, is really just studying biology at a subatomic level.
00:37:56.960 --> 00:38:06.000
So your photons, your electrons, um, all the all of this nerdy, boring stuff that we learned in uh you know in middle school that we totally blew off.
00:38:06.000 --> 00:38:20.559
And then now to me, it's just so fascinating to understand the biology of the way that our body utilizes these subatomic particles that really run our our body and and provide the functionality of our body.
00:38:20.559 --> 00:38:23.519
And so, um, and that's what that's what that is.
00:38:23.519 --> 00:38:28.320
I've been studying that and really incorporating that into my teaching um ever since.
00:38:28.320 --> 00:38:42.079
And that was really all of that was kind of what led to creating the School of Health and Nutrition because I had so many people over the years asking me, you know, like where did you learn to be a Christian nutritionist?
00:38:42.079 --> 00:38:51.360
You know, and I'm like, well, I went here to, you know, to get my nutrition education, but the rest of it was the Lord, you know, and so I I don't know where to send you.
00:38:51.360 --> 00:38:54.639
And so after a while I felt the Lord calling me to create that.
00:38:54.639 --> 00:38:58.320
And again, I was like, Nope, wrong, no, there is no way.
00:38:58.320 --> 00:38:59.199
That is too big.
00:38:59.199 --> 00:39:00.480
I can't do that.
00:39:00.480 --> 00:39:03.840
And again, he just kept pressing.
00:39:03.840 --> 00:39:06.719
And so that is also what we teach.
00:39:06.719 --> 00:39:17.440
Um, beyond nutrition, we teach um the way the body works, um, uh, you know, with this quantum biology level, and then all of these other, you know, kind of all these other inputs that we're talking about.
00:39:17.440 --> 00:39:20.800
But it's it's been a fascinating to learn about.
00:39:21.039 --> 00:39:24.079
Yeah, I could geek out with you all day long on that stuff.
00:39:24.079 --> 00:39:25.119
That's my favorite.
00:39:25.119 --> 00:39:37.519
I mean, the truth of it is we are a composite of invisible things all put together that show up as a solid matter.
00:39:37.519 --> 00:39:42.480
Like, if you can really start to ponder that for a while, read some Ecclesiastes.
00:39:42.480 --> 00:39:51.360
It, you know, unfortunately, our translations don't do it justice, saying, like, this is nothing, life is nothing, that chair is nothing.
00:39:51.360 --> 00:39:52.719
That's not what he was saying.
00:39:52.719 --> 00:40:00.159
He was saying it's heavily, it's a vapor, it's a moment in time, it is an invisible thing in a tangible world.
00:40:00.159 --> 00:40:12.639
And so I love that you are bringing awareness to this because truthfully, we are just a bunch of atoms all fused together to make us who we are.
00:40:12.639 --> 00:40:20.079
And we come from the dust and require dust and water and sunlight and all of the things.
00:40:20.320 --> 00:40:21.920
So good.
00:40:21.920 --> 00:40:22.800
I love it.
00:40:22.800 --> 00:40:23.760
It is all right.
00:40:23.760 --> 00:40:28.639
So we've talked about such a wide range of things today, which is incredible.
00:40:28.639 --> 00:40:34.000
Um, but I know that there's a woman out there who's listening and she's like, man, I don't even know where to start.
00:40:34.000 --> 00:40:40.000
If you could just tell her two to three things to start with, what would those two to three things be?
00:40:40.400 --> 00:40:51.679
Yeah, I would say um dietarily, I would say eat more protein, prioritize protein, um, just you know, and focusing on those clean, healthy animal foods, um, that's going to be really important.
00:40:51.679 --> 00:40:57.840
And I think when you do that, it it kind of helps put the other macronutrients um, you know, better in their place.
00:40:57.840 --> 00:41:00.800
Um, I would say get out and get some sunshine.
00:41:00.800 --> 00:41:07.679
Um, one of the best things that we can do is to get sunshine within a few hours of waking up.
00:41:07.679 --> 00:41:16.880
It really signals our body, it signals our hormones, um, it signals cortisol, it helps regulate cortisol, it's going to determine how well you sleep later that night.
00:41:16.880 --> 00:41:20.000
And while you're out there, take your shoes off and put your feet on the earth.
00:41:20.000 --> 00:41:26.719
Um, and I know these things sound crazy to people, but what I like to remind everybody is that God did not make our healing inaccessible.
00:41:26.719 --> 00:41:44.480
Truly, the outdoors is a healing chamber, and you walk outside and you can get sunshine, you can pick up electrons to, you know, so those are just so simple things, even though they they sound crazy, but those are the simplest things you can do and eat more protein, and those are my top favorite thing, things to do to recommend.
00:41:44.880 --> 00:41:45.519
Absolutely.
00:41:45.519 --> 00:41:46.719
I love it so good.
00:41:46.719 --> 00:41:49.760
Gotta get those foundational things in, ladies.
00:41:49.760 --> 00:42:01.519
And uh I just love how God works because I always choose a scripture for the episode, and we we recommend to everyone listening just meditate on this one scripture today.
00:42:01.519 --> 00:42:08.880
Think about it, talk to God about it, go open your Bible and read the chapter around it.
00:42:08.880 --> 00:42:13.119
And uh lo and behold, you talked quite a bit about this.
00:42:13.119 --> 00:42:28.719
So, ladies, Genesis 2, 7, and the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living soul.
00:42:28.719 --> 00:42:32.000
So there were so many golden nuggets out of there.
00:42:32.000 --> 00:42:41.199
The fact that, yes, breathing through your nostrils is a sign of rest and relaxation and parasympathetic activation.
00:42:41.199 --> 00:42:53.920
We actually just were at an e-coin therapy session this past weekend when I spoke at a women's wellness retreat, and they pointed out that horses only breathe out of their nostrils.
00:42:53.920 --> 00:42:59.840
They do not breathe out of their mouth, and they are the strongest things out there.
00:42:59.840 --> 00:43:09.039
That is why we call our horse our cars having horsepower because we gauge them against how strong those horses are to pull things.
00:43:09.039 --> 00:43:16.960
And so, like the the intricacies of God's design should not be overlooked.
00:43:16.960 --> 00:43:21.360
Every single word is in there for a reason.
00:43:21.360 --> 00:43:48.000
So thank you for being such a good steward of God's word and really just taking the time to learn all of this and listen and share it with the world because you are needed, your message is needed, and I'm just like blown away by how awesome you really are and the good work that you're doing, Chelsea.
00:43:48.639 --> 00:43:49.920
Oh, thank you so much.
00:43:49.920 --> 00:43:53.039
I feel this the same way about everything that you're doing.
00:43:53.039 --> 00:43:59.840
Like, I, you know, you guys you were on my podcast, which was so fun, and I was like, I we are definitely sisters from the same big mystery.
00:43:59.840 --> 00:44:02.639
And so aligned and all that we're thinking.
00:44:02.639 --> 00:44:04.079
I love it so much.
00:44:04.960 --> 00:44:05.599
So good.
00:44:05.599 --> 00:44:06.239
All right.
00:44:06.239 --> 00:44:08.400
Go meditate on Genesis 2.7.
00:44:08.400 --> 00:44:10.239
Please just read the whole book.
00:44:10.239 --> 00:44:12.079
At least read a couple chapters.
00:44:12.079 --> 00:44:18.159
It's incredible the details you'll start to pick up, and you'll be like, yeah, oh yeah, I do need to be out in the sun.
00:44:18.159 --> 00:44:21.360
I do need to put my foot on the ground and get grounded.
00:44:21.360 --> 00:44:23.679
So thank you, Chelsea.
00:44:23.679 --> 00:44:26.800
Please leave us a review, ladies.
00:44:26.800 --> 00:44:35.519
