00:00:00.562 --> 00:00:03.108
You were born to live in freedom.
00:00:03.108 --> 00:00:04.584
What does that mean to you?
00:00:04.584 --> 00:00:05.461
What can mean?
00:00:05.461 --> 00:00:06.405
A lot of things.
00:00:06.405 --> 00:00:15.208
We're gonna talk about one thing in particular, but maybe today for you that looks like, hey, I'm stuck inside these four walls all day long.
00:00:15.208 --> 00:00:17.446
It will wear you out.
00:00:17.446 --> 00:00:25.862
Pop in your earbuds while you're listening to this podcast, put on your tennis shoes, get on a jacket, bundle up in five layers if you need to Like we just did.
00:00:25.862 --> 00:00:27.108
We just went on a family walk.
00:00:27.108 --> 00:00:34.426
We gathered everybody at the middle of the day and we said let's get out, even though it's winter, it's not snowing, it's not raining.
00:00:34.426 --> 00:00:36.182
Right now, it's cold.
00:00:36.182 --> 00:00:38.329
For our area it's cold.
00:00:38.329 --> 00:00:42.587
You may be somewhere colder, where that's not possible, but get your body moving.
00:00:42.587 --> 00:00:46.526
Pop in those earbuds while you're listening, but you don't have to just sit and listen.
00:00:46.526 --> 00:00:48.264
Do something else.
00:00:48.264 --> 00:00:59.042
Get your body moving, get going, because in movement there is freedom, and today we're talking about gaining freedom from restriction in your life, restriction.
00:00:59.042 --> 00:01:04.786
You think about dieting, and that's why I don't like calling this a whole food, plant-based diet.
00:01:04.786 --> 00:01:08.046
You'll see, as you use that term, because that's what people search.
00:01:08.046 --> 00:01:13.849
We have so many people tell us that when they get on the podcast app and they're searching and they find us.
00:01:13.849 --> 00:01:16.528
They're looking for whole food, plant-based diet.
00:01:16.528 --> 00:01:17.524
That's what they're typing in.
00:01:17.524 --> 00:01:20.287
We've got to escape the dieting mentality, though.
00:01:20.287 --> 00:01:33.950
Even though you hear us using that word, we're talking about way of eating, not dieting, so we're going to show you today some ways that you can escape restrictive thinking and gain the freedom that you were created to enjoy.
00:01:33.950 --> 00:01:38.409
Hey sister, welcome to the Power On Plants podcast.
00:01:38.409 --> 00:01:43.728
Are you tired of staring into the fridge wondering what to eat so you can just feel better?
00:01:43.728 --> 00:01:49.147
Do you want to avoid spending hours in the kitchen making complicated meals in the name of health?
00:01:49.147 --> 00:01:55.406
Would you love to leave fatigue behind and finally have the energy to do all the things you want to do?
00:01:55.406 --> 00:02:03.069
Hi, we're Charity in the Need to Resale Price followers, healthcare professionals, parents of four and big fans of great tasting food.
00:02:03.069 --> 00:02:15.308
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.
00:02:15.308 --> 00:02:22.527
So we dug into the research and created our secret nutritional weapon sustainable plant-based living.
00:02:22.527 --> 00:02:26.304
The truth is, you can eat more whole plant foods and it's not hard.
00:02:26.304 --> 00:02:31.487
You just need the way that's realistic and delicious, so you never feel deprived.
00:02:31.487 --> 00:02:39.725
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.
00:02:39.725 --> 00:02:45.008
So grab your favorite plant-based cup of happy pop in those earbuds and let's get started.
00:02:45.008 --> 00:02:56.866
Many people think of whole-food, plant-based eating as restrictive and I'm gonna tell you Jirnav experienced this lifestyle for years and we've helped many other people.
00:02:56.866 --> 00:03:03.324
Our patients and our clients do the same, and what we know is it's not restrictive, it brings freedom.
00:03:03.324 --> 00:03:08.908
And as a believer, you've got to tell yourself this is another lie of the enemy that I've believed.
00:03:08.908 --> 00:03:12.985
If you have believed that it's restrictive, I want you to think about that for a minute.
00:03:12.985 --> 00:03:22.407
If in Genesis, god tells us the way we were created was to eat whole plant foods and seed-bearing plants that's what it says in Genesis 129.
00:03:22.407 --> 00:03:29.246
We then know we can take what was in the garden, how we were originally designed to eat and function the best.
00:03:29.246 --> 00:03:34.667
We know that living that way is going to bring freedom to our body, wellness to our body.
00:03:34.667 --> 00:03:35.985
We don't have to question that.
00:03:35.985 --> 00:03:40.705
But if you do question it, just in case you do and you still feel like it's restrictive.
00:03:40.705 --> 00:03:43.467
Start digging into the research for yourself.
00:03:43.467 --> 00:03:46.048
We spent years looking at research.
00:03:46.048 --> 00:03:49.429
We spent years looking at other people looking at research.
00:03:49.429 --> 00:03:51.126
We've looked at our own bodies.
00:03:51.126 --> 00:03:55.783
We've looked at the results of our clients and our patients and it's amazing.
00:03:55.783 --> 00:04:01.364
Every time, time after time, what we see is freedom, freedom, freedom.
00:04:02.246 --> 00:04:04.854
Here's what my assessment is on this whole situation.
00:04:04.854 --> 00:04:10.717
What we're led to believe is that what we eat really doesn't play that big of a role in our health.
00:04:10.717 --> 00:04:14.395
Because, we're taught that it's either bad luck or bad genes.
00:04:14.395 --> 00:04:21.718
And even during my training they would say, yes, like for someone that has type 2 diabetes.
00:04:21.718 --> 00:04:26.596
Yes, encourage them diet and exercise, but when that fails, here's the pill.
00:04:26.596 --> 00:04:27.005
Now.
00:04:27.005 --> 00:04:28.089
Did they actually say those words?
00:04:28.089 --> 00:04:30.831
No, but that was pretty much the attitude of it.
00:04:30.831 --> 00:04:37.918
So I feel like the overarching theme and attitude throughout our society is that food.
00:04:37.918 --> 00:04:42.636
Yes, we know that you need to eat your fruits and veggies, but it doesn't really play that big of a role.
00:04:42.636 --> 00:04:43.809
No, probably not.
00:04:43.809 --> 00:04:50.375
So here's what I like to eat I have my steaks, I have my cheese pizzas, I have this, that and the other.
00:04:50.375 --> 00:04:58.694
So much of our diet consists of animal based products that when we look at I've got to make a change from that they don't see anything else.
00:04:58.694 --> 00:05:04.795
It's like there's a huge world waiting for them behind the curtain, but they don't know because they can't see it.
00:05:04.795 --> 00:05:05.418
I'm on word.
00:05:06.670 --> 00:05:10.370
I just have flashed as a prices ride in my mind, like behind what's behind the curtain?
00:05:10.370 --> 00:05:12.995
Number two, bob, I mean seriously Freedom.
00:05:12.995 --> 00:05:19.016
If you just knew freedom was there waiting for you and all it was going to cost you.
00:05:19.016 --> 00:05:22.687
Right, let's look at it as an investment, as a believer.
00:05:22.687 --> 00:05:23.913
This is not a cost.
00:05:23.913 --> 00:05:29.416
This is an investment in your ability to live out your God giving gifts.
00:05:29.416 --> 00:05:54.110
If God's giving you gifts and dreams and you can't live those out because you constantly are stuck, because you don't feel well, because you can't have the energy or summon up the energy that you need to do more than just get through the day, all those extra things, those extra desires God's laid on your heart that you want to do in this world, the people you want to help, all those dreams he's given you yeah, he's given you dreams.
00:05:54.110 --> 00:05:55.149
I know he has.
00:05:55.149 --> 00:05:59.098
He keeps showing us time after time that he has these plans for you.
00:05:59.098 --> 00:06:03.653
But you've got to gain the freedom from restrictive thinking.
00:06:03.925 --> 00:06:08.889
But it's not just the people that you know, like friends, family members, coworkers, that are relying upon you.
00:06:08.889 --> 00:06:11.850
Just think five, 10 years from now.
00:06:11.850 --> 00:06:18.451
There are people that need you for what God's called you to do, so there are people you don't even know that are relying upon you.
00:06:18.812 --> 00:06:19.254
Absolutely.
00:06:19.254 --> 00:06:24.026
They're waiting and praying and just wishing and hoping that someone would show up to help them.
00:06:24.026 --> 00:06:28.416
And you already have the answer, because you've already walked through the thing that they need help with.
00:06:28.416 --> 00:06:29.470
You know what I'm talking about.
00:06:29.470 --> 00:06:31.170
It's your business experience.
00:06:31.170 --> 00:06:34.052
It's the experience you have of going through grief or loss.
00:06:34.052 --> 00:06:36.672
It's the experience that you have through having children.
00:06:36.672 --> 00:06:37.454
You're a mom.
00:06:37.454 --> 00:06:39.029
You're a homeschooling mom.
00:06:39.029 --> 00:06:40.550
Maybe you could help someone with homeschooling.
00:06:40.550 --> 00:06:46.209
How are you going to do that if you don't feel like it, if you don't have the energy you need?
00:06:46.209 --> 00:06:50.516
Sure, maybe you could do a little bit, but right now you're just trying to survive the day.
00:06:50.516 --> 00:06:51.884
You can't even see beyond.
00:06:51.884 --> 00:06:53.701
But you know God's given you the dream.
00:06:53.701 --> 00:06:56.713
He doesn't want you to stay stuck.
00:06:56.966 --> 00:06:59.293
You want you to show up 100%.
00:06:59.725 --> 00:07:03.997
Absolutely, and you've got to feel 100%, to show up 100%.
00:07:03.997 --> 00:07:09.944
I know I spent so many years not feeling 100% and just wondering why do I feel this way?
00:07:09.944 --> 00:07:11.408
And not knowing all along.
00:07:11.408 --> 00:07:13.495
The answer was right there in Genesis.
00:07:13.495 --> 00:07:16.975
The answer was right there in the research that backs up Genesis.
00:07:16.975 --> 00:07:22.644
We don't have to wonder oh, but didn't later on, but didn't God allowed us to do a lot of things in the word?
00:07:22.644 --> 00:07:24.944
Look at it, Look at the different things he allowed people to do.
00:07:24.944 --> 00:07:27.964
That wasn't His original plan and how that went for them.
00:07:27.964 --> 00:07:33.593
And I'm not going to go in-depth into all that kind of stuff, Just go back to the garden.
00:07:33.593 --> 00:07:35.564
God is working to get us back to the garden.
00:07:35.564 --> 00:07:37.451
He's coming back here to live with us.
00:07:37.451 --> 00:07:40.139
You know we think about, oh, we just want to live.
00:07:40.139 --> 00:07:43.545
And then, you know, survive this life, because this world is not our home.
00:07:43.545 --> 00:07:45.894
And then we want to get to heaven and glory.
00:07:45.894 --> 00:07:47.370
The glory days will be there.
00:07:47.370 --> 00:07:49.831
Well, he wants you to have some glory days here.
00:07:49.831 --> 00:07:56.334
You know your life is about more than just crossing over the golden shores and reaching the joy-filled place where you'll have nothing but bliss.
00:07:56.334 --> 00:08:01.096
He is coming back to rule and reign on earth with you as His ambassadors.
00:08:01.096 --> 00:08:08.444
You're already His ambassador here on earth, and an ambassador can't just sit there and not do anything because they don't feel like it.
00:08:08.444 --> 00:08:09.850
You have a responsibility.
00:08:09.850 --> 00:08:11.632
You have to be a steward.
00:08:11.632 --> 00:08:15.875
He's going to say one day either well done, good and faithful servant, or not.
00:08:15.875 --> 00:08:18.112
So you have this responsibility.
00:08:18.112 --> 00:08:20.353
What do you do with the gifts he's given you?
00:08:20.353 --> 00:08:24.211
And you have to feel well to do it and what are you doing with the body he's given you?
00:08:24.211 --> 00:08:26.130
Well, you're listening to the podcast.
00:08:26.130 --> 00:08:27.569
Do you have the ability to know?
00:08:27.569 --> 00:08:29.654
I need to eat the five power foods.
00:08:29.654 --> 00:08:36.933
I need to eat Fruits, veggies, whole grains, nuts and seeds, legumes, and I always throw in herbs and spices because they're also seed-bearing plants.
00:08:36.933 --> 00:08:38.017
Right, they're great for us.
00:08:38.017 --> 00:08:39.331
They're really good for us.
00:08:39.331 --> 00:08:42.245
So you want to be getting these foods into your life.
00:08:42.245 --> 00:08:44.111
We know what the five power foods are.
00:08:44.111 --> 00:08:46.393
These are the healthiest foods on the planet.
00:08:46.393 --> 00:08:51.635
The Bible says it, but it is backed up by research time and time again.
00:08:51.635 --> 00:08:53.445
Not only that, we've lived it.
00:08:53.445 --> 00:08:55.905
We can tell you we've walked the path before that path.
00:08:55.905 --> 00:08:57.009
You've walked before that.
00:08:57.009 --> 00:09:00.166
You're going to help somebody escape their troubles from that.
00:09:00.166 --> 00:09:02.494
You're going to encourage and lead somebody along on.
00:09:02.494 --> 00:09:05.293
We're doing that for you because we've been there.
00:09:05.293 --> 00:09:11.345
We understand what it's like to feel exhausted or to have aches and pains and not know why is this happening to me?
00:09:11.345 --> 00:09:19.956
There's got to be a better way and I'm trying and doing the things that people say is healthy, Like eating the better cheeses that don't have that added hormones.
00:09:19.956 --> 00:09:25.498
But never mind, it's already filled with hormones because it's a hormone-based lactation product of an animal.
00:09:25.498 --> 00:09:30.456
It's a mammary secretion of an animal that is filled with hormones by nature.
00:09:30.456 --> 00:09:34.070
But nobody's telling you that they're just like drink milk.
00:09:34.070 --> 00:09:35.730
Milk does the body good.
00:09:36.307 --> 00:09:40.552
I don't think they can say that now Can they even say Well, no, legally they can't say it does the body good.
00:09:40.552 --> 00:09:42.572
So all they can say is got milk, Got milk.
00:09:42.572 --> 00:09:46.254
But what they do is this whole-baiting switch, and we've talked about this so many times.
00:09:46.254 --> 00:09:50.408
Where it has calcium, We'd need calcium, so hey, you must drink milk.
00:09:50.408 --> 00:09:53.134
But that's not the best source of calcium for us.
00:09:53.134 --> 00:09:57.495
Right, right but they don't focus on all the other stuff that's in there.
00:09:57.664 --> 00:10:01.931
Well, no, they get you focused on that one little thing, calcium, and they tell you that that's the source.
00:10:01.931 --> 00:10:03.730
It is a source but they don't talk about.
00:10:03.730 --> 00:10:04.734
Is it the best source?
00:10:04.734 --> 00:10:07.192
Yes, and so now you're worried about getting this one little nutrient.
00:10:07.192 --> 00:10:10.855
Mind you, plant-based foods have all these nutrients your body needs.
00:10:11.184 --> 00:10:12.618
You worry about where you get your boron.
00:10:12.618 --> 00:10:16.495
Right, no, did you even know your body needs boron Probably not.
00:10:16.705 --> 00:10:24.135
But they've got you so focused on protein and not getting your protein, not getting your calcium, all these things that are just for the most part it is ludicrous.
00:10:24.135 --> 00:10:30.197
I mean it's crazy, but that is the enemy's job to get you distracted, to keep you distracted from what you need to have.
00:10:30.197 --> 00:10:35.397
He doesn't have to worry about getting you to do a lot of the wrong thing if he can keep you from doing the right thing.
00:10:35.397 --> 00:10:37.572
There's so many different ways he can do that.
00:10:37.572 --> 00:10:45.835
I mean he might just keep you distracted from doing the right thing, or he might have you getting a lot of the wrong thing, or he might have you getting a lot of the wrong thing that takes place of the right thing in your life.
00:10:45.835 --> 00:10:56.188
I mean there's so many different ways that can go for you, azzar, he's doing some of each, but if he can just keep you distracted or make you think it's restrictive and hard, you'll never even look into it.
00:10:56.208 --> 00:10:58.971
You won't even fight it, you just will shy away from it.
00:10:59.465 --> 00:11:03.316
Or if you look into it and you try it and you find one new favorite and then another new favorite.
00:11:03.316 --> 00:11:04.991
It's like our last episode.
00:11:04.991 --> 00:11:12.734
Go back and listen to that episode where we talk about how so many people aren't willing to keep showing up and doing the same simple thing over and over again.
00:11:12.734 --> 00:11:16.254
But you're going to get success by doing that.
00:11:16.254 --> 00:11:18.350
But he makes you think it's hard.
00:11:18.350 --> 00:11:19.929
Oh, it's going to be so hard.
00:11:19.929 --> 00:11:21.370
Oh, it's restrictive.
00:11:21.370 --> 00:11:22.730
You're going to feel deprived.
00:11:22.730 --> 00:11:31.912
You're going to need cheat days All that built in dieting mentality, because you've spent so much of your life trying to diet, because you thought that's what you were supposed to do.
00:11:31.912 --> 00:11:33.054
And it's not your fault.
00:11:33.054 --> 00:11:36.215
We're not laying any judgment or blame on you at all.
00:11:36.215 --> 00:11:37.990
We've seen people struggle with it.
00:11:37.990 --> 00:11:43.398
We've struggled with trying to figure out what to do with our health years ago and we found the answer here.
00:11:43.398 --> 00:11:45.613
So simply, right at the beginning of the word.
00:11:46.085 --> 00:11:48.032
Thought of analogy here, but it's not a car analogy.
00:11:48.352 --> 00:11:48.614
Oh man.
00:11:48.684 --> 00:11:54.456
So let's say, I'm going from where I am to I don't know, 20, 30 feet away from here.
00:11:54.456 --> 00:11:57.452
Now I could jump 20 or 30 feet.
00:11:57.633 --> 00:11:57.833
Okay.
00:11:58.264 --> 00:11:59.109
That would be hard.
00:11:59.109 --> 00:12:02.534
I don't even know if that's humanly possible, but it would be extremely hard.
00:12:02.534 --> 00:12:05.433
Maybe I've got some springs on my feet or something, but it would be hard.
00:12:05.433 --> 00:12:08.032
Or I can walk over there.
00:12:08.032 --> 00:12:10.812
Now it's one foot in front of the other.
00:12:10.812 --> 00:12:13.291
My stride might be a foot, foot and a half.
00:12:13.291 --> 00:12:16.982
I'm making small, incremental changes, but I will get there.
00:12:16.982 --> 00:12:18.086
It's not hard.
00:12:18.086 --> 00:12:20.371
I just have to keep taking steps.
00:12:20.371 --> 00:12:30.232
While I'm over here, worried about well, what if I could build me a jet pack and, you know, a trampoline or some kind of device to get me over there, I just try to jump it.
00:12:30.232 --> 00:12:32.807
That's hard, that's impossible.
00:12:33.221 --> 00:12:36.548
Don't you think sometimes he gets you distracted on all the different ways you could get over there?
00:12:37.390 --> 00:12:37.711
Yes.
00:12:37.711 --> 00:12:44.511
Think about that for a minute Like oh, Somebody on YouTube figured out a way to do it, and now I've got to try to incorporate that in my life.
00:12:44.511 --> 00:12:48.451
But it's really either difficult or not possible, or whatever.
00:12:48.740 --> 00:12:50.432
And you're stuck trying to figure out the way.
00:12:50.432 --> 00:12:53.451
And so he gets you stuck, and that is what we wanted to talk to you about today.
00:12:53.451 --> 00:12:59.214
You get distracted on all these little possibilities Many times before you know the way.
00:12:59.214 --> 00:13:01.682
Like whole plant foods are the way to heal your body.
00:13:01.682 --> 00:13:03.227
There is no doubt about it.
00:13:03.227 --> 00:13:07.625
Not only is it in the word, it has been in the nutritional research for years.
00:13:07.625 --> 00:13:09.812
We've experienced it in our lives.
00:13:09.812 --> 00:13:23.705
Our clients experience it on a regular basis reversing diabetes, reversing digestive issues they've had for 14 years and had to take medication for they're off the medication, feeling great Headaches gone, neck pain nine out of 10 completely vanished.
00:13:23.705 --> 00:13:26.129
Autoimmune disease is vanishing.
00:13:26.129 --> 00:13:30.850
I mean, I could go on and on cholesterol going down, blood pressure back to normal.
00:13:30.850 --> 00:13:32.657
These are the foods.
00:13:32.657 --> 00:13:36.616
But so many times when you don't even know this is the route, you don't know this is the food.
00:13:36.616 --> 00:13:46.668
You get distracted with all the keto, paleo, all these different things that are not going to get you the results, long-term, lasting results that you need because it's not addressing the root problem.
00:13:46.668 --> 00:13:49.192
But then, when you figure out, okay, it's whole-fee, plant-based.
00:13:49.192 --> 00:13:51.782
You know, I really do believe these are the foods that are going to help me.
00:13:51.782 --> 00:13:54.326
You struggle making whole-fee plant-based stick.
00:13:54.326 --> 00:13:57.725
You keep coming back and trying it and then you leave again and you do something else.
00:13:57.725 --> 00:14:02.893
Because you get distracted, because you feel like it's hard, you feel like it's restrictive.
00:14:02.893 --> 00:14:03.575
Why?
00:14:03.575 --> 00:14:07.566
Because you get stuck within the confines of what you know is right.
00:14:07.566 --> 00:14:14.630
Okay, so God has confines of what is right, what is righteous, with Him in His Word about different actions and things were to do.
00:14:14.630 --> 00:14:18.635
We know that whole-plant foods are good for us, according to Genesis 1, 29.
00:14:18.635 --> 00:14:20.484
Right, we know that they're going to help us thrive.
00:14:20.484 --> 00:14:21.508
We know that.
00:14:21.508 --> 00:14:24.077
So eat more of the five power feeds.
00:14:24.077 --> 00:14:29.220
But then you get into whole-fee plant-based and you're going well, should I eat more fresh or more frozen?
00:14:29.220 --> 00:14:31.192
I mean, if I eat blueberries, should I eat them fresh or frozen?
00:14:31.192 --> 00:14:31.798
What about mangoes?
00:14:31.798 --> 00:14:32.961
Should they be fresh or frozen?
00:14:32.961 --> 00:14:34.566
Should I eat blackberries fresh or frozen?
00:14:34.566 --> 00:14:38.004
And you get stuck in these things that don't really matter where.
00:14:38.004 --> 00:14:41.876
Within His boundaries, many times he gives us freedom to choose.
00:14:41.876 --> 00:14:44.163
He wants you to use your creativity.
00:14:44.163 --> 00:14:46.347
He's blown the breath of life into you.
00:14:46.347 --> 00:14:50.764
He is a creative being and you are created in His image.
00:14:50.764 --> 00:14:52.110
It's beautiful.
00:14:52.110 --> 00:14:56.663
So use your creative license within those areas of what will work for you.
00:14:56.663 --> 00:15:00.696
It's not unrighteous to eat a frozen versus a fresh berry.
00:15:00.696 --> 00:15:05.518
Like, just stay within the bounds of okay, I'm not going to add the oil, because that isn't good for me.
00:15:05.518 --> 00:15:06.721
It's going to make me feel sluggish.
00:15:06.721 --> 00:15:08.506
It's going to stop up my veins.
00:15:08.506 --> 00:15:10.831
It's going to stop up my arteries, my vessels.
00:15:10.831 --> 00:15:12.184
It's going to make me feel bad.
00:15:12.184 --> 00:15:13.068
It's going to make me hurt.
00:15:13.068 --> 00:15:15.320
Trust me, I know the oils will make you.
