00:00:00.862 --> 00:00:07.645
How can you gain optimal health so you can live in the fullness of life you were meant to have as a follower of Yeshua?

00:00:07.645 --> 00:00:09.810
That's what we're talking about today.

00:00:09.810 --> 00:00:13.853
Hey sister, welcome to the Power On Plants podcast.

00:00:13.853 --> 00:00:19.170
Are you tired of staring into the fridge wondering what to eat so you can just feel better?

00:00:19.170 --> 00:00:24.560
Do you want to avoid spending hours in the kitchen making complicated meals in the name of health?

00:00:24.560 --> 00:00:30.849
Would you love to leave fatigue behind and finally have the energy to do all the things you want to do?

00:00:30.849 --> 00:00:33.219
Hi, we're Sheridan and I need to resell Christ.

00:00:33.219 --> 00:00:38.502
Followers, healthcare professionals, parents of four and big fans of great tasting food.

00:00:38.502 --> 00:00:50.710
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.

00:00:50.710 --> 00:00:57.926
So we dug into the research and created our secret nutritional weapon sustainable plant-based living.

00:00:57.926 --> 00:01:01.741
The truth is, you can eat more whole plant foods and it's not hard.

00:01:01.741 --> 00:01:03.289
You just need the way.

00:01:03.289 --> 00:01:06.882
That's realistic and delicious so you never feel deprived.

00:01:06.882 --> 00:01:15.019
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.

00:01:15.019 --> 00:01:20.402
So grab your favorite plant-based cup of happy pop in those earbuds and let's get started.

00:01:20.402 --> 00:01:29.489
Hey there, friend, we are so excited about all that this year holds, and especially this episode.

00:01:29.489 --> 00:01:35.870
As members of God's kingdom, we do not have to live in the miserable ways of the world.

00:01:35.870 --> 00:01:43.477
We can choose to live in freedom, but to live in the joy and fullness that we were created to have in life.

00:01:43.477 --> 00:01:51.662
We've got to leave the old ways behind and then align our lives in as many ways as possible with His.

00:01:51.662 --> 00:01:58.989
Now, I don't know about you, but diets have never brought joy or fullness to our lives.

00:01:58.989 --> 00:02:03.201
Those just aren't two words we associate with going on a diet.

00:02:03.201 --> 00:02:04.468
Have you ever thought about that, jared?

00:02:04.468 --> 00:02:06.927
Has that ever been something that you thought about Diet and fullness.

00:02:06.947 --> 00:02:07.831
No, enjoy happiness.

00:02:07.831 --> 00:02:09.120
You don't usually think of those two words.

00:02:09.120 --> 00:02:10.649
Well, no, not joy either.

00:02:10.649 --> 00:02:13.323
But diet and fullness, you don't think of those being together.

00:02:13.323 --> 00:02:14.788
Nor diet or joy.

00:02:15.050 --> 00:02:18.985
No, yeah, that's a good point diet and fullness in so many ways.

00:02:18.985 --> 00:02:26.925
Like right, you never think about being full and being on a diet at the same time, but I was thinking about just a complete life, one that you absolutely love.

00:02:26.925 --> 00:02:33.693
Now, at times you might hear me or Jared call this way of living a diet, but by that we just mean a way of eating.

00:02:33.693 --> 00:02:38.774
Listen, the way we do whole food plant bases is about as far away from dieting as you can get.

00:02:38.774 --> 00:02:45.194
So the question is how do you gain the freedom that you are meant to have this year?

00:02:45.194 --> 00:02:56.234
How do you leave your health struggles behind you and finally start feeling so good that you can start fully living this amazing life you've been given?

00:02:56.234 --> 00:03:02.491
The first step is to refuse to go on another miserable diet.

00:03:02.491 --> 00:03:04.415
It just won't work.

00:03:04.415 --> 00:03:12.727
Counting calories, keeping up with points, stepping on the scale for crying out loud and weighing yourself every day why?

00:03:12.987 --> 00:03:16.643
Unless you have a specific health reason, I would just say don't do it.

00:03:16.823 --> 00:03:24.879
Toss it out, depriving yourself, feeling hangry while other people are filling themselves up and enjoying their meals.

00:03:24.879 --> 00:03:29.153
It's time for out with the old way Now.

00:03:29.153 --> 00:03:40.015
Please don't come to whole food, plant based living and treat it like another diet, applying these same restrictive ways of living, or you'll be setting yourself up for failure.

00:03:40.015 --> 00:03:43.629
So those miserable dieting methods have got to go.

00:03:43.629 --> 00:03:45.036
That's step number one.

00:03:45.036 --> 00:03:46.159
And then what?

00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:53.955
Well, I'm gonna ask you, what did Sheridan and I always say when there's out with something old, what do you have to do?

00:03:53.955 --> 00:03:57.860
You've got to replace those old ways.

00:03:57.860 --> 00:04:05.610
You can't just stop doing one thing and not replace it with something that's for your best if you want to thrive in life.

00:04:05.879 --> 00:04:11.152
Especially in this area, because if you're out with the old, then you're not really left with anything to eat.

00:04:11.152 --> 00:04:17.829
Yeah, so it's got to be, especially if some of those old ways were, at least you feel, like you're your favorite ways.

00:04:17.829 --> 00:04:19.173
There's a ways that you know.

00:04:19.173 --> 00:04:21.040
You think they taste good.

00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:25.951
I say think because until you've tried plant-based you just don't know.

00:04:26.190 --> 00:04:27.153
You don't know what you're missing.

00:04:27.740 --> 00:04:29.387
But you're left with a whole.

00:04:29.387 --> 00:04:36.656
There's really not much you can eat if you're getting rid of the old so it only makes sense to bring in the new.

00:04:36.858 --> 00:04:44.120
It does, and so step two is making it your goal to find your new favorite whole food plant-based meals.

00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:52.560
Now, if you know that the old meals you say you love are sabotaging you, do you really love them?

00:04:52.560 --> 00:04:54.603
I want you to think about that for a minute.

00:04:54.603 --> 00:04:58.271
I love that food or I love this food.

00:04:58.271 --> 00:04:59.533
Do you really love it?

00:04:59.533 --> 00:05:01.648
Do you love how it makes you feel?

00:05:01.648 --> 00:05:07.130
Do you love the health that you have now as a result of those choices?

00:05:07.271 --> 00:05:08.012
Excellent question.

00:05:08.903 --> 00:05:13.788
Those meals that you say are quote good, are they really good?

00:05:13.788 --> 00:05:16.360
We've got to start thinking about the words we're using.

00:05:16.360 --> 00:05:20.550
Oh, this meat-top cheese-filled Oli dish is so good.

00:05:20.550 --> 00:05:27.673
I want to challenge you to think about the words you're using to describe what you're putting in your mouth.

00:05:27.673 --> 00:05:37.531
If that very meal you're telling yourself and others is good and that's the same food that's keeping you stuck, is it really good?

00:05:37.920 --> 00:05:40.468
That's an excellent point, because we've thought about this.

00:05:40.468 --> 00:05:46.026
But on the flip side, where we may say something is a catastrophe when it's really an inconvenience.

00:05:46.026 --> 00:05:52.891
So the words we use shape the way we think, right, so hadn't really thought about it from this angle, where we say, oh, that's good.

00:05:52.891 --> 00:06:03.319
So in your mind it's reinforcing that this may be something healthy, something good for me, when we might like how it tastes Right, at least in the moment.

00:06:03.319 --> 00:06:05.807
But is it really a good food for us?

00:06:05.807 --> 00:06:08.074
Is it nourishing our bodies?

00:06:08.074 --> 00:06:09.540
Is it optimizing our health?

00:06:10.141 --> 00:06:18.860
And then if it's not good and if you choose to keep eating it, you won't be empowering your body to enable you to live your best life.

00:06:18.860 --> 00:06:25.954
So if those foods that I often freely state are good, aren't really good for me, the next question is what is good?

00:06:25.954 --> 00:06:32.459
Because we only have one life to live and we want to live it to our fullest potential.

00:06:32.459 --> 00:06:33.946
That's our calling.

00:06:33.946 --> 00:07:05.680
So we've got to be using the right words here, true words, and then actually filling our lives with truly good fuel, and I believe the real key here is finding the ways to make these good, whole plant foods taste pleasing to you, because if you enjoy eating them, you are going to love how you live, feel great and find yourself living this year like you haven't been able to live in a very long time.

00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:10.211
This is how you gain the freedom to fully live, and we want that for you.

00:07:10.211 --> 00:07:11.966
Jared and I are so here for this.

00:07:11.966 --> 00:07:28.209
So step number one is right now Refuse to keep saying those foods are good for you that aren't good, and refuse to go on another miserable diet that you dread or, just straight up, don't enjoy, because it makes you feel like you're leaving what is quote good behind.

00:07:28.209 --> 00:07:44.297
Thank you Instead start learning today how to take the truly good food, the real whole plant foods in their entire package that God created them in, and create meals with them that you really, really enjoy.

00:07:44.297 --> 00:07:45.954
And here's the bonus step.

00:07:45.954 --> 00:07:49.879
I want you to write them down as you discover them.

00:07:49.879 --> 00:07:54.100
Keep a running list of these new Whole Food Plant-Based Favorite Meals.

00:07:54.100 --> 00:08:05.019
If you take action on what we've told you today, you are going to start gaining some serious momentum and, before you know it, gaining massive results too.

00:08:05.019 --> 00:08:12.995
But if you're thinking, listen, I don't even know where to start finding such meals to make, I need recipes that actually taste good.

00:08:12.995 --> 00:08:15.918
I've tried Whole Food Plant-Based before and it just didn't taste good.

00:08:15.918 --> 00:08:20.920
Go and grab the Power On Plants Cookbook at poweronplantscom forward slash cookbook.

00:08:20.920 --> 00:08:34.615

00:08:34.615 --> 00:08:44.981
I intentionally created this cookbook to set you up for big wins, and it doesn't just have main meals in it, because you need to know how to become a sauce boss.

00:08:44.981 --> 00:08:49.640
You need to know how to get drinks if you love drinks or maybe you're a person who loves desserts.

00:08:49.640 --> 00:08:55.022
You need some new sweet treats, some snacks, some different things in the different categories.

00:08:55.022 --> 00:08:58.538
So I've given you some of each to help you get started.

00:08:58.538 --> 00:09:02.219
That's at poweronplantscom forward slash cookbook.

00:09:02.219 --> 00:09:06.895
But what if you need community Because you tried Plant-Based before?

I've tried this so many times and it's never stuck before and now.

00:09:16.434 --> 00:09:16.995
It's working.

00:09:16.995 --> 00:09:17.597
It's sticking.

00:09:17.597 --> 00:09:18.360
I'm getting results.

00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:20.490
I just can't figure out how much.

00:09:20.490 --> 00:09:22.056
These are the things you need to do.

00:09:22.056 --> 00:09:23.975

So this isn't just the title.

00:10:33.695 --> 00:10:47.698
Imagine that you've got your little AI or something that's scrubbing through all the transcripts of every single podcast, but then, when you click on that word, it takes you to the exact moment of the audio file and then plays it for you.

00:10:47.818 --> 00:10:51.894
Oh yeah, it's not like it just pulls up the episode and then you have to search through it and find that word.

00:10:51.894 --> 00:10:58.177
It pulls up the exact moments or moment when we said the word so you can click right to it.

00:10:58.177 --> 00:11:00.336
