You can count calories in, but you may be blocking them from “getting out.” Insulin blocks fat burning and if you’re eating foods or drinking beverages that constantly raise insulin, you are messaging your body to store fat and not to burn it. Things like artificial sweeteners and diet drinks may not have calories, but they can still raise insulin and signal your body to be in “storage mode.”Calor...

I want to take you back to a time when people didn’t have gyms, peloton bikes, dumbbells, group classes or workout apps (OR pre/post workout drinks for that matter!). How did people stay fit in the “olden” days? We can look back to fitness in Biblical times and see that, even without all of these modern exercise advantages, they were able to stay fit. Their physical activity was naturally built in...

There’s a detrimental cascade of hormonal imbalance when we don’t get enough sleep. Our hunger and satiety hormones get out of whack so we don’t get the right signals that tell us we’re hungry or full. Ghrelin, our appetite stimulating hormone, increases from lack of sleep and leptin, our appetite suppressing hormone, decreases. This makes us prone to overeating because our brains aren’t getting t...

The most efficient breathing rhythm is 5.5 second inhales followed by 5.5 second exhales through your nose. Overbreathing or breathing through your mouth causes major metabolic and overall health problems. Breathing too much and too fast are the breaths of stress and fear. And you know God didn’t give us the spirit of fear! On top of that, chronic mouthbreathing leads to poor focus and mood, weigh...

I recently tried a Carnivorish Diet to see if it would improve my thyroid antibodies. Spoiler alert: it did not, but it did improve some other markers including my TSH and T4*. There were some ups and downs along the way and I’m sharing it all in this week’s podcast. On the whole, it was a powerful experience and I don’t for a second regret doing this experiment. Listen in to hear the details abou...

Having access to all plant foods, all the time is a new phenomena. For most of history, people ate what grew regionally and seasonally. This means they ate a lot of the same foods over and over because that’s what was available. We’ve lost touch with seasonal eating and, yet, God designed our bodies to work in sync with the cyclical offerings of nature. Tune in to this week’s podcast for new persp...

Genesis 1:4 tells us that God created the sun and the moon as markers of time. We know that He created our bodies to work according to these daily and seasonal cycles of light and darkness which is called our circadian rhythm. That includes things like getting regular sun exposure, eating more carbs in the summer and fasting longer in the winter. We are in our best health when aligned in our circa...

Did you know that your bare feet can pick up electrons from the earth’s surface which help to lower inflammation, improve sleep, help optimize cortisol rhythm, reduce pain and stress, help activate the parasympathetic system, increase heart rate variability, and speed wound healing? Sounds too simple - or cooky - to be true and, yet, studies show that grounding (or earthing) offers healthful benef...

Your body’s best digestive and metabolic work happens in the daylight hours. The later you eat, the more you risk acid reflux, fat storage, poor sleep and compromised detoxification. That means that the late night snack, glass of wine or random handful off the kitchen counter can really throw your body systems out of whack. In this week’s podcast we’re talking about the key ways to best program yo...
