Send us a Text Message.

Get ready for a transformative discussion that can revolutionize the way you view your health and wellness. Jarrod and I are pulling back the curtain to reveal how the plant-based lifestyle, infused with spiritual truth and healthy thinking, can be your ticket to overcoming exhausting health challenges like low energy, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, digestive diseases, autoimmune diseases, type II diabetes, joint pain, and obesity, too.

This is not simply a little chat; it is the moment where we confront head-on the misconceptions and lies of the enemy that have left you feeling helpless in your health struggles for so long. It's time to reclaim the vitality that's rightfully yours! 💕💃🏻

Just like a cyclist expertly navigating around roots and rocks, we dissect the power of shifting focus from the hurdles to the solutions in life's journey—particularly when it comes to your health. We lay down the evidence on how whole food plant based meals can lead to remarkable improvements in "chronic" disease, and we're sharing the testimonials to back it up.

In this inspirational nutrition episode, Jarrod and I celebrate the determined warriors who've dismantled the lie that aging means declining health. You'll hear real-life victories of individuals who've turned the tables on "not feeling good" so they can finally live their dreams, all through natural lifestyle changes that are as empowering and enjoyable as they are effective. 

🚩 LAST CALL: The doors to Power On Plant Society close January 4th @ 11:59 pm EST.  Don't be held back one more moment from living the full, active life you were created to enjoy 🌱

00:00:01.262 --> 00:00:13.372
Friend, I am so glad that you're joining us today because there is something that I want you to know, jared and I both have a heart for you to see that you were born to live an amazing life.

00:00:13.372 --> 00:00:16.448
God has incredible things in store for you.

00:00:16.448 --> 00:00:21.189
I don't care how old you are, I don't care how your body feels right now.

00:00:21.189 --> 00:00:23.853
You were born for greatness.

00:00:23.853 --> 00:00:26.928
There is a purpose and a plan over your life.

00:00:26.928 --> 00:00:43.009
Maybe, just maybe, through a certain set of circumstances that you've lived in your life and for a lot of us, that's our health struggles Maybe those circumstances have held you back, kept you from being all that you were created to be, because you just don't feel good.

00:00:43.009 --> 00:00:44.822
We get it, sister.

00:00:44.822 --> 00:00:45.984
We get it, brother.

00:00:45.984 --> 00:01:03.732
We have been there, we have been where you are, and I'm smiling today and I have joy in my voice because I know what's on the other side of that struggle, jared, and I know what it's like to be low on energy and barely surviving the day.

00:01:03.732 --> 00:01:13.165
And then we know what it's like to be on the other side and feel like I need to force myself to go to bed because I'm up way too late and I'm not going to have the energy I need tomorrow because I've kept myself up too late.

00:01:13.165 --> 00:01:14.924
That's a whole different struggle.

00:01:14.924 --> 00:01:16.623
That's the struggle you want to have.

00:01:16.623 --> 00:01:22.432
You don't want to be going through life thinking, oh, I'm always going to have this chronic disease.

00:01:22.432 --> 00:01:29.025
Let me tell you, you have an enemy who does not want you to succeed and you've got to understand that.

00:01:29.025 --> 00:01:40.671
He doesn't come to you telling you that the things he's making you buy and believe in life are lies, but you've believed so many of them because they were stated to you as though they were truth.

00:01:40.671 --> 00:01:42.403
That's how he comes.

00:01:42.403 --> 00:01:52.206
He might come to you in the form of a medical provider and say hey, you've got this chronic disease and you're always going to have it and you're going to have to take this medication forever.

00:01:52.206 --> 00:01:54.808
And this is just how it's going to be.

00:01:54.808 --> 00:01:56.394
Maybe it's your own thoughts.

00:01:56.394 --> 00:01:59.588
He comes to you in your thoughts and says you'll never feel better.

00:01:59.588 --> 00:02:01.665
You're always going to have low energy.

00:02:01.665 --> 00:02:05.248
You're always going to have those weird numb sensations in your toes.

00:02:05.248 --> 00:02:06.822
You've got cancer.

00:02:06.822 --> 00:02:09.604
That's incurable, but that's not true.

00:02:09.604 --> 00:02:11.846
These things just aren't true.

00:02:11.846 --> 00:02:24.252
There are all these different diseases and things that we've come to believe are quote chronic, long term, and in our minds we've been trained to believe the lie that they are not reversible, but that is not true.

00:02:24.252 --> 00:02:29.031
But this is one of the key ways that your enemy keeps you stuck.

00:02:29.031 --> 00:02:33.250
So today we are going to deal with this one big thing.

00:02:33.250 --> 00:02:42.110
We're going to tackle this one big thing and help you get over this hurdle so that 2024 and beyond can be your best years ever.

00:02:42.110 --> 00:02:46.706
Hey sister, welcome to the Power On Plants podcast.

00:02:46.706 --> 00:02:52.072
Are you tired of staring into the fridge wondering what to eat so you can just feel better?

00:02:52.072 --> 00:02:57.461
Do you want to avoid spending hours in the kitchen making complicated meals in the name of health?

00:02:57.461 --> 00:03:03.733
Would you love to leave fatigue behind and finally have the energy to do all the things you want to do?

00:03:03.733 --> 00:03:11.409
Hi, we're Sheridan and Nita Roussell Christ followers, healthcare professionals, parents of four and big fans of great tasting food.

00:03:11.409 --> 00:03:23.626
We, too, tried exercising more, eating natural and clean foods, but we still found ourselves struggling with what we thought were changes that come with age or bad genes, and we weren't finding answers to traditional routes.

00:03:23.626 --> 00:03:30.852
So we dug into the research and created our secret nutritional weapon sustainable plant-based living.

00:03:30.852 --> 00:03:34.629
The truth is, you can eat more whole plant foods and it's not hard.

00:03:34.629 --> 00:03:36.223
You just need the way.

00:03:36.223 --> 00:03:39.811
That's realistic and delicious so you never feel deprived.

00:03:39.811 --> 00:03:48.050
If you're ready to enjoy your meals, no longer be held back by your health struggles and actively live your life, then you're in the right place.

00:03:48.050 --> 00:03:53.330
So grab your favorite plant-based cup of happy, popping those earbuds and let's get started.

00:03:53.330 --> 00:03:59.949
Woo, brother and sister, if you listen to that intro, you know that was kind of heavy.

00:03:59.949 --> 00:04:08.069
It wasn't necessarily our norm, but listen, it's time to get serious, sheridan, and I want you to understand that you do not have to stay stuck.

00:04:08.069 --> 00:04:20.701
We don't want you to let someone put this label on you or give you this idea, because we hear it so many times throughout our lives and you hear something over and over again, even when you're not dealing with that disease, from the time you're little.

00:04:20.701 --> 00:04:24.451
Oh, some say Scott Cancer, they've only got X amount of time to live.

00:04:24.451 --> 00:04:35.430
The doctor labels their time as though they were God, how they're going to give them their days, and so then we start to believe that, we start to take that on and we let that determine our destiny.

00:04:35.430 --> 00:04:38.028
There are things that you can do.

00:04:38.028 --> 00:04:51.750
A lot of it starts with your lifestyle the food you eat, the spiritual life you're walking, the sleep, your outlook on life those things are fueled by the food you eat.

00:04:51.750 --> 00:04:59.908
If you don't feel good and you don't have the energy to get up and get yourself motivated, how are you going to move forward in these other areas of your life?

00:04:59.908 --> 00:05:07.988
And that's why Jared and I are so passionate about getting the right food to fuel your body, because the enemy comes to you and he lies about these things.

00:05:07.988 --> 00:05:10.286
You're always going to struggle with this thing.

00:05:10.286 --> 00:05:15.067
It might be in the form of your thoughts Again, it might be a doctor, it might be a friend or a family member.

00:05:15.067 --> 00:05:22.129
You grow up hearing these things that aren't true and then you're faced with that quote, same diagnosis, and you just think well, that's the end.

00:05:22.129 --> 00:05:28.680
You know, I saw someone say go through it and this and that, and I'll take the meds and I'll fight it for a while, but ultimately, that's what's going to take me down.

00:05:29.141 --> 00:05:30.851
And it's just something that runs in the family.

00:05:30.851 --> 00:05:31.877
So it just is.

00:05:31.877 --> 00:05:39.947
And, like you're saying, you take that diagnosis on and you kind of live into the destiny that you've had proclaimed over you.

00:05:39.947 --> 00:05:44.089
And the thing is is these doctors don't know how long you have.

00:05:44.089 --> 00:05:46.064
I mean, they really honestly don't.

00:05:46.064 --> 00:05:55.644
They're just going by the mainstream medical knowledge and of the mainstream medical treatments and that's what they've been taught, that's what they're telling you.

00:05:56.120 --> 00:06:02.482
But the amazing thing is that we know that the top diseases of our time are lifestyle related.

00:06:02.482 --> 00:06:05.334
And Jared and I are not just talking from the research yet.

00:06:05.334 --> 00:06:06.459
We're talking from the research.

00:06:06.459 --> 00:06:08.505
I mean, ask Dr Gregor, read how not to die.

00:06:08.505 --> 00:06:11.100
Okay, we know that these things are reversible.

00:06:11.100 --> 00:06:12.401
The research is there.

00:06:12.401 --> 00:06:13.742
It's been there for years.

00:06:13.742 --> 00:06:19.285
The problem is we don't believe it because our doctors are telling us something different.

00:06:19.425 --> 00:06:23.913
We've heard something different growing up in the enemy pounds, and they should know right, they're the medical professionals.

00:06:23.985 --> 00:06:29.708
Well, one would think so, but then you have the enemy come in, who doesn't ever want you to reach the next level.

00:06:29.708 --> 00:06:37.098
He is here to steal from you your time, steal from you the life you were created to live, steal from you your dreams, steal from you your hope.

00:06:37.098 --> 00:06:40.331
There comes a time when you've got to say enough is enough.

00:06:40.331 --> 00:06:41.875
This is a new year.

00:06:41.875 --> 00:06:43.761
I have a new opportunity here.

00:06:43.761 --> 00:06:47.415
I've got to do something that's different than I've always done before.

00:06:47.415 --> 00:06:49.242
The dieting doesn't work.

00:06:49.242 --> 00:06:50.607
I've got all these extra pounds.

00:06:50.607 --> 00:06:51.509
It's not working.

00:06:51.509 --> 00:07:00.908
The conventional treatments I've tried those things, but I'm taking more medication on top of the other, medication to help me deal with the side effects of that medication.

00:07:00.908 --> 00:07:05.016
It's putting a strain on my wallet and it's putting a strain on my body.

00:07:05.016 --> 00:07:09.276
I'm exhausted and I just don't know what to do.

00:07:09.276 --> 00:07:12.855
But what we see time and again, we've seen it in our own lives.

00:07:12.855 --> 00:07:15.242
We see it with our clients that we work with.

00:07:15.242 --> 00:07:21.620
When they get surrounded by the right community, they get the hope that they need oh, this can be reversed.

00:07:21.620 --> 00:07:23.245
Oh, there is something I can do.

00:07:23.245 --> 00:07:25.052
Oh, I do have power.

00:07:25.052 --> 00:07:26.257
The research is there.

00:07:26.257 --> 00:07:33.103
Now I'm meeting people in this community who actually reverse type two diabetes who've gotten rid of their health struggles.

00:07:33.103 --> 00:07:36.451
We're going to talk about some members of ours who have gotten rid of these things.

00:07:36.451 --> 00:07:39.677
Today we see it over and over again.

00:07:39.677 --> 00:07:43.093
It's time to stop believing the lies.

00:07:43.093 --> 00:07:53.216
You were created for a purpose and the time has come to stop letting the enemy tell you you're never going to, it's never going to.

00:07:53.216 --> 00:07:57.634
You're always going to struggle with this thing, so these things will never take place.

00:07:57.634 --> 00:07:59.802
For you, those are lies.

00:07:59.802 --> 00:08:09.430
Are you going to just hand over your life to him and let him define three people through your thoughts and therefore live it out through your actions?

00:08:09.430 --> 00:08:13.487
Because the truth is and this is biblical what you believe.

00:08:13.487 --> 00:08:21.730
This is why, in the Bible, you always hear guard your thoughts, guard your mind, guard your eyes, guard your ears.

00:08:21.730 --> 00:08:22.672
Why is that?

00:08:22.672 --> 00:08:23.473
Why is that?

00:08:23.473 --> 00:08:43.062
Because what you think is what you imagine, what you picture, and your imagination is real strong, and it can be so strong and so vivid that those thoughts then become what you do, because you can't do what you don't think and what you think, you will do what you believe internally to be real and true.

00:08:43.062 --> 00:08:44.126
No matter what you say.

00:08:44.126 --> 00:08:46.437
You believe what you really believe.

00:08:46.437 --> 00:08:49.167
Those are the things that you're going to live out in your life.

00:08:49.167 --> 00:09:04.201
So it's time for you to get some belief around to wrap your mind around these health struggles that you're having, the fact that you keep having low energy and not feeling good, and all these different things you've been set up in life.

00:09:04.201 --> 00:09:08.798
There's multiple things that have gone on that have led you to this place, but you have to decide.

00:09:08.798 --> 00:09:11.687
Today things are going to be different for me.

00:09:11.687 --> 00:09:17.994
I'm going to get myself into a different environment where I'm surrounded by people who are on the path to getting better.

00:09:17.994 --> 00:09:21.505
I'm going to stop eating those things that are sabotaging me.

00:09:21.505 --> 00:09:23.495
But I've tried that before and it didn't work.

00:09:23.495 --> 00:09:29.663
Because I've dieted, I've had to do miserable ways I counted calories, I've kept up with portions, I've done macros and macros.

00:09:29.663 --> 00:09:30.587
It just didn't work.

00:09:30.587 --> 00:09:34.667
Maybe I lost some weight, maybe I started feeling better, things started to reverse in my life.

00:09:34.667 --> 00:09:39.926
But then here I am back, worse than I was before, and I'm looking at this new year and I'm going.

00:09:39.926 --> 00:09:40.647
I got to diet.

00:09:40.647 --> 00:09:41.750
I got to do something.

00:09:41.750 --> 00:09:44.115
Forget the miserable ways.

00:09:44.115 --> 00:09:47.711
It's time to build a lifestyle you love.

00:09:47.711 --> 00:09:51.662
You've got to have the quick ways, the simple ways.

00:09:51.662 --> 00:09:53.067
You've got to move beyond.

00:09:53.067 --> 00:09:58.533
I'm just going to throw a couple of vegetables in a bowl because I know I need to eat vegetables and you don't like the flavor of it.

00:09:58.533 --> 00:10:08.830
Together, you've got to learn how to create those dishes, those meals that you love, and look forward to create the lifestyle that you love, living that with the food that's going to love you back.

00:10:08.830 --> 00:10:13.971
Let's just talk about the top diseases of our time that are lifestyle related.

00:10:13.971 --> 00:10:16.767
Jared's just going to share some of those with you.

00:10:16.767 --> 00:10:22.722
It's hard to wrap your mind around how so many of these things are related and why are they related.

00:10:22.722 --> 00:10:28.015
So I'm going to share a little bit about why these things are related after Jared goes over these things.

00:10:28.544 --> 00:10:34.886
All right, I'm going to go over those in just a moment, but you said something that sparked an idea Whenever-.

00:10:34.907 --> 00:10:35.850
Is it a car analogy?

00:10:35.850 --> 00:10:36.952
No, it's not a car analogy.

00:10:37.013 --> 00:10:40.432
It's actually a by Well, it's not even a bicycle analogy.

00:10:40.432 --> 00:10:54.130
But I remember a while back hearing, if you're going down the road riding on your bike and say there's an obstacle, that comes, don't focus on the obstacle, because you're focusing on what you're going to head toward.

00:10:54.130 --> 00:11:12.945
What you do is you focus elsewhere, focus on the clear path around the obstacle, so that if, let's say, you're on a bike, going on a trail and you see, oh, there's a root right in front of me, and if you're staring at the root you're going to go toward the thing that you're focused on.

00:11:12.945 --> 00:11:13.767
What a great point.

00:11:13.767 --> 00:11:21.738
But look at the way oh, here's a little path around the root or the rock or whatever that is, and that's the same thing in our lives we get focused on.

00:11:21.738 --> 00:11:23.102
I've got this problem.

00:11:23.102 --> 00:11:26.696
That's all you're looking at, that's all you're focusing on.

00:11:26.696 --> 00:11:30.783
It's like we're going to make that thing come to pass.

00:11:31.063 --> 00:11:39.881
Yeah, and I feel like that's why the enemy gets us so focused on those things, because you think on those things and then that's where you steer, that's what you believe, that's how you live your life.

00:11:39.881 --> 00:11:44.738
You kind of live into the thing you've been taught and told, that root in your life.

00:11:44.738 --> 00:11:50.707
Whatever it is that root that core issue that we need to address, but it just doesn't get addressed appropriately.

00:11:50.707 --> 00:11:56.080
Instead it trips us up again and again and again we fall over it again and again.

00:11:56.080 --> 00:12:06.894
We keep dealing with that same thing over and over, and so we've got to first understand, even though these things are labeled chronic, even though these are the things we've thought time and again are irreversible oh well, I've got the genetic kind.

00:12:06.894 --> 00:12:08.221
Oh well, I've got the family guy.

00:12:08.221 --> 00:12:10.201
My doctor told me the kind I have is genetic.

00:12:10.201 --> 00:12:12.600
I have heard that from my own family members.

00:12:12.600 --> 00:12:23.365
But what I know from my own life and what I see from people that we work with time and time again and what we see in the nutrition research, is these things are reversible.

00:12:23.735 --> 00:12:29.528
And we're not saying to just ignore what's going on, but we're saying understand that.

00:12:29.528 --> 00:12:32.442
But understand that there is a path around.

00:12:32.442 --> 00:12:35.582
You may not see it, but that path is there.

00:12:35.582 --> 00:12:42.048
Start looking for it, find it, start heading toward that, and then you'll see that obstacle disappear.

00:12:42.575 --> 00:12:48.402
Look, if the rate's in front of you and you're heading that direction and you start ignoring it, you're still going to hit it.

00:12:48.523 --> 00:12:51.402
You're going to hit it, You're going to fall over, bang yourself up.

00:12:51.402 --> 00:12:57.225
But anyway, just wanted to share that because I found that to be true in my own life.

00:12:57.225 --> 00:13:07.605
Being on my bike, looking at maybe a little hole in the trail or the path that I'm on and I'm staring at it, it's like there's a tractor meeting there.

00:13:07.605 --> 00:13:16.344
So I realized focus on the path around, so anyway, but you've got to know that there is a path around.

00:13:16.344 --> 00:13:19.243
I feel this is the big thing about this episode.

00:13:19.674 --> 00:13:20.498
You want you to understand.

00:13:20.498 --> 00:13:21.783
There is a path around.

00:13:21.783 --> 00:13:26.500
I don't care what it is, what's been spoken of over you, what you thought, what thoughts have gone through your mind.

00:13:26.500 --> 00:13:28.923
A lot of it is just not true.

00:13:28.923 --> 00:13:34.267
So you've got to reframe your thoughts around the fact that there is something I can do.

00:13:34.267 --> 00:13:36.543
I do not have to stay this way.

00:13:36.543 --> 00:13:40.445
I can make a difference in where I'm headed.

00:13:40.445 --> 00:13:44.563
Where I'm headed, no matter if these things have been spoken of your life.

00:13:45.215 --> 00:13:50.543
Maybe you've dealt with cardiovascular disease, brain diseases, brain diseases.

00:13:50.543 --> 00:13:51.576
Now what kind of diseases.

00:13:51.576 --> 00:13:54.041
Would that be Stroke, stroke?

00:13:54.181 --> 00:13:55.923
All-signers Could be some types of dementia.

00:13:55.923 --> 00:13:57.768
It could even be depression.

00:13:58.207 --> 00:13:58.729
Depression.

00:13:58.875 --> 00:14:01.261
I mean, we know that eating whole plant foods helps that.

00:14:01.261 --> 00:14:06.980
Depression, anxiety, cognitive decline we're thinking about, you know, as we get older.

00:14:06.980 --> 00:14:08.404
We don't have cognitive decline.

00:14:08.404 --> 00:14:11.904
We want to be able to live our fullest lives, our best lives.

00:14:11.904 --> 00:14:13.581
It's not just about a long life.

00:14:13.581 --> 00:14:21.414
We want to live well, we want to live like the woman on Instagram that I saw the other day who was walking the track with her daughter and it was a workout track.

00:14:21.414 --> 00:14:22.136
So you know, you hit.

00:14:22.197 --> 00:14:24.203
I don't know what the official name of those is those different stations.

00:14:24.203 --> 00:14:30.144
So you've got the little path you walk or jog along and then you have these different little stations and some of them maybe push-ups, some of them are pull-ups.

00:14:30.576 --> 00:14:32.503
The woman was something like 95 years old.

00:14:32.503 --> 00:14:36.585
She's hopping up on the bench, doing push-ups on the bench, hopping up, popping down, hopping up.

00:14:36.585 --> 00:14:38.403
That's the kind of life we want.

00:14:38.403 --> 00:14:47.221
We want to remain active so that we can fully live every moment, being good stewards of our time and of the life we've been given.

00:14:47.615 --> 00:14:53.184
But that way you have the tools to go and do what you've been called to do at any point in time.

00:14:53.184 --> 00:14:56.982
Car analogy Okay, let's say you're a mechanic.

00:14:56.982 --> 00:15:03.289
Let's say you're a mechanic and you've got a person that comes in.

00:15:03.289 --> 00:15:08.985
They've got a specific problem with their car and you recognize what that problem is, but you don't have the right tool.

00:15:08.985 --> 00:15:15.145
Like, I know what this problem is but I can't fix it because I don't have the right tool.

00:15:15.366 --> 00:15:15.626
Right.

00:15:16.215 --> 00:15:29.500
Say that there's an opportunity to go somewhere on a missions trip, short-term missions trip, but you just don't have the energy, or maybe there's just some other physical ailment that you just can't go and do it.

00:15:29.500 --> 00:15:43.384
And you're perfect, you've got the intellectual knowledge or the past skills to be perfect for whatever it is they need you to do on that trip, but physically you just don't have the reserves, you don't have the resources to do that.

00:15:44.067 --> 00:15:44.327
Right.

00:15:44.811 --> 00:15:45.615
That's tragic.

00:15:45.875 --> 00:15:49.285
It is tragic, and I think about all the different life opportunities we have.

00:15:49.285 --> 00:15:59.601
I mean seeing your children and grandchildren grow up and all the important milestones that you want to be there for them and all the travel that you might want to do and experience the world and see God's creation.

00:15:59.601 --> 00:16:01.961
I love the idea of missions trip.

00:16:01.961 --> 00:16:03.662
That was a great thing to think about.

00:16:03.662 --> 00:16:05.215
You've been called to do something.

00:16:05.215 --> 00:16:10.379
I mean, maybe you want to go to Israel and experience that and maybe you want to volunteer at the nursing home.

00:16:10.379 --> 00:16:18.365
Maybe you want to be able to have the strength to be out helping your elderly neighbors, even when you're elderly, you can do that.

00:16:18.916 --> 00:16:35.546
Or maybe the ability to do that If there's been a disaster and you want to be on the relief team to help go into a community, help them clean up, help them do whatever they need in that moment of crisis, but you can't because you just again don't have the physical reserve to go and do that.

00:16:35.645 --> 00:16:42.326
Yeah, we don't want to spend another year missing out on all that God has created us to do and to be Okay.

00:16:42.326 --> 00:16:45.061
So what are some of the other things that we've come to believe?

00:16:45.061 --> 00:16:49.982
We're just stuck with once we have them, or we think it's just what happens as we get older.

00:16:50.254 --> 00:17:02.881
Well, other very common ones are high blood pressure we mentioned this all the time High cholesterol, type two diabetes, different cancers, digestive cancers, blood cancers, breast cancer, prostate cancer.

00:17:03.414 --> 00:17:04.780
Low energy pain.

00:17:04.780 --> 00:17:06.280
I mean just general things like that.

00:17:06.280 --> 00:17:08.201
I have fibrocystic breast disease.

00:17:08.201 --> 00:17:08.923
It's gone.

00:17:08.923 --> 00:17:11.422
There's so many different things we've had that we dealt with.

00:17:11.422 --> 00:17:14.944
High cholesterol gone, reverses.

00:17:14.944 --> 00:17:17.583
We see it time after time after time.

00:17:17.583 --> 00:17:20.471
Blood pressure is coming back to normal as you age.

00:17:20.471 --> 00:17:25.547
Right, this is not what we're told is normal, but this is what should be.

00:17:25.547 --> 00:17:29.925
But you've got to escape these lies that the enemy tells you.

00:17:29.925 --> 00:17:34.646
We have a member that recently has reversed his type 2 diabetes.

00:17:34.646 --> 00:17:36.179
It's gone.

00:17:36.179 --> 00:17:40.865
His A1C started out at 11.4, which is very high.

00:17:40.865 --> 00:17:44.462
Oh, super high and down to 6, now 6.0.

00:17:44.462 --> 00:17:46.035
So some would still say Almost half.

00:17:46.035 --> 00:17:48.583
Yeah, some would still say, oh, that's pretty diabetic.

00:17:48.583 --> 00:17:54.203
In some ranges Now people consider that not diabetic at all, but I can guarantee you it is going to keep coming down.

00:17:54.203 --> 00:17:57.265
It will be in the fives the next time he has his blood work drawn.

00:17:57.265 --> 00:17:59.903
It's just incredible what's happening.

00:17:59.903 --> 00:18:01.843
We have another member who was pre-diabetic.

00:18:01.843 --> 00:18:03.441
She completely reversed that.

00:18:03.441 --> 00:18:03.962
It's gone.

00:18:03.962 --> 00:18:06.961
She also dealt with things like reflux.

00:18:06.961 --> 00:18:12.465
For 14 years she was on Nexium and with all the side effects that that brings.

00:18:12.465 --> 00:18:14.460
She doesn't take Nexium anymore.

00:18:14.460 --> 00:18:16.243
She has no reflux.

00:18:16.243 --> 00:18:17.307
It's gone.

00:18:17.307 --> 00:18:20.744
We have members that have gone from a size 14 to a size 4.

00:18:20.744 --> 00:18:24.325
Naturally, and she says, I have food freedom.

00:18:24.325 --> 00:18:25.760
I have food freedom.

00:18:25.760 --> 00:18:27.835
I don't have the neck pain I used to have.

00:18:27.835 --> 00:18:30.089
It was like a nine out of 10 when we first met her.

00:18:30.089 --> 00:18:30.894
It's gone.

00:18:30.894 --> 00:18:36.540
She's now traveling in Europe doing things serving, doing things she's always wanted to do.

00:18:36.540 --> 00:18:38.445
It's awesome seeing her do that.

00:18:38.445 --> 00:18:41.545
And there are so many other benefits.

00:18:41.545 --> 00:18:44.523
We think about just reversing the disease.

00:18:44.523 --> 00:18:46.106
Oh, that's the benefit.

00:18:46.106 --> 00:18:47.115
I would feel so much better.

00:18:47.115 --> 00:19:02.009
But the real thing is, what are you going to be able to do this year and next year and the next year and the next year that you would not have been able to even think about doing if you were still stuck in the lies.

00:19:02.377 --> 00:19:06.115
But I also want to highlight the point what about the compounding effect of that?

00:19:06.115 --> 00:19:14.845
So let's say this next year you make these changes, you start feeling better, you get out, you start meeting new people serving in different ways.

00:19:14.845 --> 00:19:17.578
What about those people that you meet First?

00:19:17.578 --> 00:19:28.342
You can make a difference in their life because they see you and they say, wow, I remember when you were like this, this way that you are now, but now you have so much more energy.

00:19:28.342 --> 00:19:29.045
What did you do?

00:19:29.045 --> 00:19:31.746
You become an ambassador for this lifestyle.

00:19:31.746 --> 00:19:33.994
You can teach them, also to them.

00:19:34.359 --> 00:19:35.515
And help them get free.

00:19:36.017 --> 00:19:42.346
Help them with the freedom and to get that energy to live the life they were meant to live, but also too.

00:19:42.346 --> 00:19:43.795
What about those connections?

00:19:44.920 --> 00:19:52.753
That would have never been made if you were still sitting at home, exhausted and just you have this great idea, but I'll never be able to do that.

00:19:53.640 --> 00:19:59.473
Now you have the energy, but what if you make the connection and someone else has another contact?

00:19:59.473 --> 00:20:05.234
So let's say you want to start a business in a specific field and you don't really know where to go with it and you share this with someone.

00:20:05.234 --> 00:20:08.835
Oh, I know this guy, Frank, and he's got connections.

00:20:08.835 --> 00:20:10.785
It'd be perfect.

00:20:10.785 --> 00:20:11.849
He could get you started.

00:20:11.849 --> 00:20:12.855
That never would have happened.

00:20:12.855 --> 00:20:14.759
So now you're growing a business.

00:20:14.759 --> 00:20:19.450
Now you're creating maybe a non-profit organization for whatever is just on your heart to do.

00:20:19.450 --> 00:20:24.894
There's such a compounding effect in what can happen.

00:20:24.894 --> 00:20:27.931
It can become so much greater than just.

00:20:27.931 --> 00:20:27.971
I.

00:20:27.971 --> 00:20:31.722
Would just like to have energy to be able to go check my mail, and I'm not dismissing that.

00:20:31.722 --> 00:20:32.665
No, that's huge.

00:20:32.665 --> 00:20:34.028
That's a great first step.

00:20:34.028 --> 00:20:34.693
That's huge.

00:20:34.693 --> 00:20:39.755
But then there's so many more layers and levels up that you can go with this.

00:20:40.237 --> 00:20:43.734
Right, and this reason this is the reason the enemy wants to keep you stuck.

00:20:43.734 --> 00:20:48.734
You, as a believer, are made in the image of your creator.

00:20:48.734 --> 00:20:51.440
You're representing him here on this earth.

00:20:51.440 --> 00:20:53.844
How do we want to represent him?

00:20:53.844 --> 00:20:56.071
I want to live my fullest life.

00:20:56.071 --> 00:20:59.515
I want to hear him say well done, good and faithful servant.

00:20:59.515 --> 00:21:06.011
And it's real hard to do that when you spend those years exhausted and you're barely trying to survive.

00:21:06.011 --> 00:21:11.594
And if the enemy can keep his thumb on you and keep pressing you down with the lies that you believed.

00:21:11.594 --> 00:21:12.950
You feel like you're stuck.

00:21:12.950 --> 00:21:14.089
You feel like there's no way out.

00:21:14.089 --> 00:21:18.710
You need somebody to tell you there's a way you can do this.

00:21:18.710 --> 00:21:20.290
People do it often.

00:21:20.290 --> 00:21:22.969
It's not hard, it's just different.

00:21:23.785 --> 00:21:30.893
And the reality of the situation is that our adversary, our enemy, doesn't have to destroy us or defeat us.

00:21:31.153 --> 00:21:31.273
No.

00:21:31.785 --> 00:21:39.457
He can cripple us, and the sad reality of that is he's not even having to really convince us.

00:21:39.457 --> 00:21:46.451
We're already doing it because we believe we must have meat for protein, that we must have dairy for calcium.

00:21:46.451 --> 00:21:48.651
We're not even fighting him.

00:21:48.872 --> 00:21:50.721
Right, all these things that we just believed.

00:21:51.184 --> 00:21:55.775
All the things that we believe we're doing willingly and it's harming us.

00:21:55.775 --> 00:22:00.076
And listen, this is just the hardcore reality.

00:22:00.076 --> 00:22:03.374
This is the tough love reality of the situation.

00:22:03.374 --> 00:22:05.751
We have been and we were there.

00:22:05.751 --> 00:22:12.830
We have been willingly and even excitedly doing the things that were causing us harm.

00:22:12.830 --> 00:22:15.196
Right, they were holding us back.

00:22:16.144 --> 00:22:22.384
Right, and I feel like those are other lies that he's planted as well, though I mean he's worked it so craftily.

00:22:22.685 --> 00:22:24.172
And we just willingly go.

00:22:24.172 --> 00:22:27.770
He's crafty Unknowingly, but willingly we just follow along.

00:22:27.887 --> 00:22:28.008
Right.

00:22:28.008 --> 00:22:34.349
So you've been taught these messages through marketing, through magazines, through billboards, through TV shows, through advertisement.

00:22:34.349 --> 00:22:39.265
Milk it does the body good, Beef it's what's for dinner All these different things you've been taught.

00:22:39.265 --> 00:22:46.644
Well, they can't say certain things anymore, though they used to say all these wonderful things like eggs are healthy, Now they can say it's the incredible edible egg.

00:22:46.644 --> 00:22:48.743
Because they're not allowed to say it's healthy because it's not.

00:22:49.008 --> 00:22:49.678
Or got milk.

00:22:49.678 --> 00:22:50.084
Got milk right.

00:22:50.084 --> 00:22:51.825
They can't say it does the body good anymore.

00:22:52.007 --> 00:22:53.684
No, they're not allowed to do that anymore.

00:22:53.684 --> 00:22:55.605
Have you noticed how that messaging has changed?

00:22:55.605 --> 00:23:03.984
So, thank goodness, some of the lies are being crushed, but there are so many of them still out there and it's time to start crushing the lies.

00:23:03.984 --> 00:23:12.673
Listen, it's not just about that disease that you want to see gone Nine times out of 10, you can be freed from that, but the opportunities are going to open up for you.

00:23:12.673 --> 00:23:14.384
You think it's going to be expensive.

00:23:14.384 --> 00:23:16.684
The enemy says, oh, it's going to be so expensive.

00:23:16.684 --> 00:23:18.932
Listen, we have a whole episode on that.

00:23:18.932 --> 00:23:21.634
Go back and listen to episode 254.

00:23:21.634 --> 00:23:24.713
This actually is a lower cost of living.

00:23:24.713 --> 00:23:27.045
When you know how to do it, it is not hard.

00:23:27.045 --> 00:23:29.653
You got to think about beans and rice and potatoes.

00:23:29.653 --> 00:23:33.871
Come on, these aren't the king's meal things, the king's price tag.

00:23:33.871 --> 00:23:36.073
Walk by the meat counter and price it.

00:23:36.073 --> 00:23:38.157
Go back and listen to that episode.

00:23:38.157 --> 00:23:38.964
We talk about that.

00:23:38.964 --> 00:23:43.924
You're going to be freed up in so many areas Getting your energy back, getting your life back.

00:23:43.924 --> 00:23:57.424
Think about not spending all your time, the time you're going to get back, when you're not sitting at the doctor's appointments, when you're not standing in the line at the pharmacy, when you're not dealing with the side effects that come with the medications.

00:23:57.424 --> 00:24:00.136
Now, jare and I have said many times we're not against medication.

00:24:00.156 --> 00:24:00.884
We're not against medication.

00:24:01.027 --> 00:24:02.625
But they are way overused.

00:24:02.625 --> 00:24:06.633
There's a time and there's a place, and we've come to see them as our savior.

00:24:06.633 --> 00:24:08.944
And they're not your savior.

00:24:08.944 --> 00:24:11.451
They weren't put here to save you from every little thing.

00:24:11.451 --> 00:24:13.055
Oh, I have that, I'll just pop a pill.

00:24:13.055 --> 00:24:14.597
I have that, I'll just pop a pill.

00:24:14.597 --> 00:24:16.503
Listen, get to the root.

00:24:16.503 --> 00:24:23.664
It's time to get to the root cause of the problem so you can be free and you can be, and we want you to be.

00:24:23.664 --> 00:24:25.050
That's our heart for you.

00:24:25.050 --> 00:24:29.135
Getting help does not have to require deprivation.

00:24:29.135 --> 00:24:35.513
Listen, you've got to find a lifestyle you love and look forward to living every single day.

00:24:35.513 --> 00:24:42.212
This is what we thrive on showing you how to do this is the beginning of a brand new year.

00:24:42.212 --> 00:24:47.105
This is January 4th and the Doors to Power and Plant Society are closing.

00:24:47.105 --> 00:24:50.213
This is our group mastermind and group coaching program.

00:24:50.213 --> 00:25:00.113
This mastermind community is amazing the people that are on the inside, sharing, giving, receiving information, building each other up without judging each other.

00:25:00.113 --> 00:25:03.951
Where does that happen without the woo-woo in the plant-based space?

00:25:03.951 --> 00:25:13.796
We've created the community that we've dreamed of having, that we prayed for, having to get free from all these lies, that we had believed.

00:25:13.796 --> 00:25:16.753
If you're listening to this and the doors are still open.

Your life is going to look so different One month down the road, two months down the road.

00:25:31.574 --> 00:25:38.992
This time next year, when we're having this conversation, you're going to be our testimonial because you are going to get free.

00:25:38.992 --> 00:25:40.691
This is your year.

00:25:40.691 --> 00:25:42.371
This is your time.

00:25:42.371 --> 00:25:46.576

They don't have to hold you back anymore and we are here to support you and help you on this journey to becoming all that you were created to be.

00:25:56.834 --> 00:26:01.411
Go right now to poweronplantscom forward, slash society and join us.

00:26:01.411 --> 00:26:06.406
If you're listening to this episode and it's after the fourth, listen.

00:26:06.406 --> 00:26:09.095
Get your name on the wait list there.

00:26:09.095 --> 00:26:10.810
Get into the course.

00:26:10.810 --> 00:26:13.173
Get into the back end membership.

00:26:13.173 --> 00:26:22.990
Figure out what you're going to do to take the next step, to get yourself surrounded by the right people who are going to help you break free from the lies.

00:26:22.990 --> 00:26:26.085
Show you what do you eat and how do you eat it.

00:26:26.085 --> 00:26:31.733
I mean, I've eaten veggies before, but I don't know how to do anything more than just throw veggies in a bowl to actually make it taste good.

00:26:31.733 --> 00:26:38.270
I've tried some nasty vegan brownies in the past and I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to leave my favorite brownies behind.

00:26:38.270 --> 00:26:39.292
No, you're not.

00:26:39.292 --> 00:26:40.365
No, you're not.

00:26:40.365 --> 00:26:41.403
You can have dessert.

00:26:41.403 --> 00:26:42.851
You can have things that taste great.

00:26:42.851 --> 00:26:45.525
You've just got to know how to do it.

00:26:45.525 --> 00:26:46.549
For me, it was cheese.

00:26:46.549 --> 00:26:48.662
I'm not going to be able to eat cheese anymore.

00:26:48.662 --> 00:26:49.864
You mean, I got to give up dairy.

00:26:49.864 --> 00:26:51.955
I've got to give up my meat.

00:26:51.955 --> 00:26:52.961
Oh, I love meat.

00:26:52.961 --> 00:26:53.585
It's so good.

00:26:53.585 --> 00:26:57.692
No, you're going to have new ways to have those same things you love to eat.

00:26:57.692 --> 00:27:00.000
It's just going to love your body back.

00:27:00.000 --> 00:27:03.374
It will still taste good, but it will be the simplest way you've ever cooked.

00:27:03.374 --> 00:27:05.424
It'll be the quickest way you've ever cooked.

00:27:05.424 --> 00:27:11.432
You are going to get free in so many ways You're not even going to believe what this is going to do for your life.

00:27:11.432 --> 00:27:13.163
This is a no-brainer.

00:27:13.163 --> 00:27:15.142
This is a no-brainer.

00:27:15.142 --> 00:27:25.973
$3 a day for right, at $3 a day the price it would cost you to get a cup of coffee at Starbucks Probably way less if you drink the coffee I used to drink.

00:27:25.973 --> 00:27:28.454
Okay, this is a no-brainer.

00:27:28.454 --> 00:27:38.491
Get inside, get the help you need, but don't just go in there and start amassing knowledge like you would if you went to YouTube and you started watching video after video and learning I'm taking notes and doing this and doing that.

00:27:38.491 --> 00:27:47.674
There's plenty of information that is going to get you results on the inside of power and plant society, but you don't want to just amass information.

00:27:47.674 --> 00:27:59.538
This is about a lifestyle change and what Jared and I see a hundred percent of the time is that a hundred percent of the people they get in and get active, they start posting what they're doing, even though it's not perfect.

00:27:59.538 --> 00:28:04.356
They start sharing their ideas, they start asking their questions and getting the answers they need.

00:28:04.356 --> 00:28:07.996
This is when the momentum happens.

00:28:07.996 --> 00:28:12.997
These are the people that ten out of ten times get results.

00:28:12.997 --> 00:28:23.909
They reverse their type eddies, we see it or at least their numbers come way down so they don't need all that medication, so that they're feeling better, they're fully living and thriving.

00:28:23.909 --> 00:28:30.067
These diseases that we've talked about today, that we know our lifestyle related, they start reversing.

00:28:30.067 --> 00:28:31.471
I've gotten my life back.

00:28:31.471 --> 00:28:32.633
The edema has gone.

00:28:32.633 --> 00:28:37.769
Listen, go back and listen to Christy's story, episode number 253.

00:28:37.769 --> 00:28:41.184
She talks about what is it like on the inside of power and plant society?

00:28:41.184 --> 00:28:42.788
How has my life changed as a result?

00:28:42.788 --> 00:28:46.867
She's only been in for six weeks, six weeks.

00:28:46.867 --> 00:28:50.117
What if six weeks, your swelling could go down.

00:28:50.117 --> 00:28:52.105
Your energy level could go through the roof.

00:28:52.105 --> 00:28:55.585
You started a business that you've been dreaming about for years.

00:28:55.585 --> 00:28:59.916
You're now planning it and dreaming about it because you know you finally feel like doing it.

00:28:59.916 --> 00:29:01.569
You could actually do this thing.

00:29:01.569 --> 00:29:07.054
Hey, this may be really possible for me, because I've now broken free from the lives of the enemy.

00:29:07.054 --> 00:29:09.020
He is not gonna keep me stuck.

00:29:09.020 --> 00:29:14.464
This year and in the years beyond I'm going to get to the place that I was meant to be in my life.

00:29:14.464 --> 00:29:18.636
I am going to live out the father's design for me.

00:29:18.636 --> 00:29:20.612
You can feel better.

00:29:20.612 --> 00:29:21.836
It is not hard.

00:29:21.836 --> 00:29:23.825
You just need the right support.

00:29:23.825 --> 00:29:30.644
You need to know what it steps to take, what to buy, how to put it together in the way that works with real life.

00:29:30.644 --> 00:29:34.565
You need to know how to make eating whole plant foods sustainable.

00:29:34.565 --> 00:29:40.597
It's got to be quick, it's got to be simple and it's got to taste good, or you're never going to do it.

00:29:40.597 --> 00:29:42.330
Think about all the diets.

00:29:42.330 --> 00:29:44.117
It's never gonna work long term.

00:29:44.117 --> 00:29:45.684
But this works.

00:29:45.684 --> 00:29:47.852
We've seen it time and again.

00:29:47.852 --> 00:29:52.847
This five-step preven system, it works, it works, it works.

00:29:52.847 --> 00:29:58.124
You get your mindset right, you get your environment right, you learn how to make it quick, simple and delicious.

00:29:58.124 --> 00:30:09.713
And, sister and brother, your life is gonna look so much different on the other side of that when you've left the enemy's lives and you've learned how to embrace the future that you were created to live.

00:30:09.713 --> 00:30:17.157
Go right now to power on plants, comm Ford, slash society and get your name on the list and join us.

00:30:17.157 --> 00:30:20.194

00:30:27.676 --> 00:30:33.893

00:30:33.893 --> 00:30:35.135
You are not gonna regret it.
