Many people in this day and age look at the world and think to themselves, "What can I do? I'm too small, too insignificant, nothing I do matters in the grand scheme of things. I can't do anything to help the nation get back on track." Friends, you are mistaken in thinking this way. Everyone has a part to play in the restoration of America! ESPECIALLY YOU! Teena Horlacher joins with us today to di...

What’s the difference between synthetic and bio-identical hormones? The difference is the fit, so to speak. Ever bought two identical pairs of pants or shoes and yet the fit wasn’t the same at all? One felt great and the other kind of...skritchy? Even though these examples of hormones may sound similar, the difference is in the fit. Bio-identical hormones have an identical chemical structure as th...

Have you ever wondered how your body creates hormones? Look no further than the most abundant circulating steroid hormone in humans, DHEA. DHEA is synthesized from cholesterol. Believe it or not, cholesterol is at the top of the food chain in making all of our sex steroids. Find out how it all works together, and how to find balance, in this episode.

Your thyroid is a small gland with a big job. It controls our metabolism and EVERYONE wants a faster metabolism. If we buy a new car we expect it to be able to go fast. However, if that car is pulling a small trailer we understand that we should keep it off the Indy 500 racetrack. As humans, though, we might not understand what is slowing us down. Unfortunately, last night’s dinner might be partly...

Isn’t it frustrating to be stuck behind a tractor on an open stretch of road? You want to go faster, but are unable to speed up. Most of us wish our metabolism would “speed up” so we would have the energy to do the things we want to do. The thyroid gland, located in your neck, regulates your metabolism. It is also related to all of the other hormones. (Estrogen, Progesterone, Testosterone, Cortiso...

There is a popular saying that “hindsight is 20/20”, which means that when looking back on a situation, we know exactly what we should have done. If only there was a messenger around to tell me that, right? Well, your body has just such a messenger; it’s called Leptin, and it’s a hormone that you may not know about. Leptin essentially has just one job: to tell your brain to turn off your appetite...

Stress is one of the most common reasons for visits to the doctors office today. Whenever we are stressed our body produces a hormone known as 'cortisol' that gives us the energy we need to fight or flee from whatever it is that is inducing the stress. The problem today is that, for the most part, our stress isn't being caused by things that we can punch, run, and hide from, but rather fear monger...

Ever been in a situation where you are absolutely positive that you know what someone else is talking about - and then realize you DON’T actually know? With that in mind, did you know that Type 2 diabetes - which is completely preventable - accounts for roughly 97% of all diabetes cases in the U.S.? If you are like most people, you probably don’t exactly know what causes it. But, it’s actually an...

You'll often hear that hormones are bad. However, the truth is, hormones occur naturally in your body and operate as your body's communication system. Without them, your body could not function. In this episode, you'll learn the basics of hormones and how to find balance.

“A chain is only as strong as its weakest link.” Most of us understand that this saying is alluding to the fragile portion of a chain, where it is most likely to break. However, if your health is your “weak link” then a particular chain might be the answer. Peptides are chains of amino acids, and certain peptides can do wonders to boost our immune systems. In this podcast, Endocrinologist Dr. Edwi...

Melissa Tate has a unique perspective. She came to the United States from Zimbabwe when she was 19. By age 27, she had her own business that was bringing in 7 figures and had multiple employees. She was “living the dream.” Then she started noticing the same kind of ideologies that collapsed her home country were starting to take root in America. Her friends and family were “parroting” the rhetoric...

Sometimes, life throws you for a wild loop. It takes you down paths that you didn’t expect. It forces you to reevaluate the choices that you’ve made in the past. Scott McKay knows this all too well. After leaving behind his prospective football career to attempt to become a Navy fighter pilot. Subsequently, he watched as the US government revealed its corruption and Scott made it his mission to wa...

For the first time in American history, we have more blended families than core families. Divorce or separation, remarriage (or no marriage), step and half siblings. Whatever your family situation, the family itself is being attacked and it takes a godly battle plan to make it: one day at a time. In addition to the attack on families, most people have some sense of guilt, shame or regret about the...

A lot of people dream of playing professional sports without any real understanding of what it would take - day in and day out. In sports, a young athlete might be the best there is in high school, only to get to college and face a whole new level of skill. The pattern repeats every time a goal is achieved. While talent and top physical condition certainly play an important role in developing a st...

How often do we find ourselves thinking, “that’s not fair!”? This is a favorite outcry of children the world over, and we reply by saying something like, “you get what you get and you don’t throw a fit!” We expect our children to abide by this rule, and yet we are the first to break it - usually over lunch with a sympathetic friend. When adults reference the word “fair”, they generally feel that s...

Isn’t it great when you go to someone’s house that you are close to, kick off your shoes and make yourself at home? Laughing and eating and sharing stories? God wants you to feel this way with him, 24/7. Is it possible? Absolutely. A good father delights in his children, and God delights in you - and it is not dependent on your good and perfect behavior, either. Think of the story of the prodigal...

Too many times we try to come up with a quick solution to our problems. A friend needs advice? We cut them off with a quick, ill-fitting answer. Child gets a scraped knee? Here’s a band-aid. And when it comes to our own health or wellness, we have a medicine cabinet full of answers to any aches or pains. But surely it would be better to dig down and discover what is CAUSING those aches and pains....

An amazing thing happens at birth, the production of Colostrum - a mother’s first milk. It is a superfood, because it contains so many good and vital things for a newborn. It activates a newborn’s immune system, jumpstarts gut health, protects against disease and infection and much more - and it’s good for adults too! Since it is produced in mammals during or around a birth, you may be wondering h...

If you want to dazzle your friends and family, ask them what a portmanteau is. I’ll give you a hint: It’s not a castle in Scotland or the name of a fancy dessert. It refers to a word that blends two other words or meanings. Such as “spork”, “mockumentary” and so on. With that in mind, Steve Paxton is what you might call a Techie-Pastor-Practor. He has had three careers and loves to learn new thing...

People often think, “If my faith is strong enough, I’ll no longer face hardships.” But this thought is nothing more than a fairytale. Faith doesn’t remove hardships. Rather, it gives you the ability to overcome hardships and see a miracle on the other side. Josh and Gretchen Temble learned this firsthand when their four month old child suddenly became deathly ill with an “incurable” condition. The...

Today, healthcare is led by big corporations whose primary concern is how to make money... and money is made off of sick people, not healthy ones. Doctors are trained to prescribe medication or surgeries instead of helping patients change their lifestyle. You know the drill. We barely get 5 minutes with them, and it’s all about what prescription we need and when they will schedule our next appoint...

We wear ourselves out by rushing around taking care of so-called urgent tasks, then get sick and blame God or hope for a miracle. Why? The answer has to do with more and more people “believing” in their sickness rather than “believing” in their healing. If you believe in something, you’ll create that reality whether it be healing or sickness. Find out how to experience everyday healing in this epi...

We all desire something: A new house or car, physical healing, more money, or countless other things. But what do we do about that desire? Sadly, most of us don’t do anything except talk about what we DON’T have to anyone who will listen. Craig Hagin’s grandfather, Kenneth E. Hagin, made a good choice. He decided to take God at His word and he chose to be healed. At that time, he was only 16 years...

Zoe life refers to “The God Kind of Life.” But what does that mean, exactly? Ever notice how Jesus doesn’t say, “I came so you could go to heaven?” He says, “I came to give you life, and life more abundant.” And yes, “life” in the Greek is Zoe. Zoe life is an overwhelming awareness of God’s divine nature IN us - and that Zoe life will naturally overflow in our daily lives. You can’t give away some...

Ever notice how your eyesight tends to change over time? What was once clear and sharp can get a little cloudy or fuzzy a few years later. Our lives can be like that as well. When we are young, we might have a clear and definite picture of what we want to do, and what our purpose in life is. Pretty soon, enough expected (and unexpected) changes occur that we are left not knowing what our purpose i...
