Hey there, sunshine.

I hope you're having a wonderful day.
00:00:03.653 --> 00:00:14.170
Jared and I have just learned something interesting from the research and we can't wait to share it with you, and that is one simple strategy to improve your gut microbiome.
00:00:14.170 --> 00:00:18.248
Hey sister, welcome to the Power on Plants podcast.
00:00:18.248 --> 00:00:23.571
Are you tired of staring into the fridge wondering what to eat so you can just feel better?
00:00:23.571 --> 00:00:28.971
Do you want to avoid spending hours in the kitchen making complicated meals in the name of health?

Would you love to leave fatigue behind and finally have the energy to do all the things you want to do?
00:00:35.670 --> 00:00:42.921
Hi, we're Jared and Anita Roussel, christ followers, healthcare professionals, parents of four and big fans of great tasting food.
00:00:42.921 --> 00:00:55.088
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 the traditional route.
00:00:55.088 --> 00:01:02.329
So we dug into the research and created our secret nutritional weapon sustainable plant-based living.
00:01:02.329 --> 00:01:06.111
The truth is, you can eat more whole plant foods and it's not hard.
00:01:06.111 --> 00:01:11.311
You just need the way that's realistic and delicious so you never feel deprived.

We're giving this to you for free because we want to see you getting results.
00:04:02.217 --> 00:04:06.747
While you're waiting for our course to be available, you're sitting there thinking what do I do?
00:04:06.747 --> 00:04:10.413
I don't know what to do and I don't have the support I need, and I just need more ideas.
00:04:10.413 --> 00:04:14.242
This is the place to get those.
00:04:14.263 --> 00:04:23.702
And when you've got the podcast right at your fingertips, every time we've ever said what's something you might want to look at Breakfast or blueberry, it might be a specific ingredient.
00:04:23.702 --> 00:04:24.423
Or travel.
00:04:24.423 --> 00:04:33.471
Maybe you're like a listener who just emailed me, leah, and she was sharing with me how she's about to go on a trip, on a cruise, and she doesn't know exactly what to do.
00:04:33.471 --> 00:04:36.427
Well, if you just search cruise, we might have mentioned that before.
00:04:36.427 --> 00:04:41.350
Or travel, travel, because we've talked a lot about what do we eat when we travel?
00:04:41.350 --> 00:04:43.367
What do we suggest that you eat?
00:04:43.367 --> 00:04:46.189
How do you make it easy Things like that?
00:04:46.189 --> 00:04:46.629
It's crazy.
00:04:46.629 --> 00:04:49.168
You're going to learn about amazing things like purse sauces.
00:04:49.168 --> 00:04:50.947
If you don't know what that is, search travel.
00:04:50.947 --> 00:05:04.444
You're going to find it inside pie, so super simple to find, and it's going to skyrocket you to plant-based joy, and that is what we want for you, because plant-based joy is being happy with the lifestyle you're living.
00:05:04.444 --> 00:05:05.764
Being happy with plant-based.
00:05:05.783 --> 00:05:08.024
This isn't just about finding some recipes.
00:05:08.024 --> 00:05:18.149
This is about finding the recipes that light you up and learning how to make delicious, simple, wonderful foods that are going to fuel your body well and that you love the way they taste.
00:05:18.149 --> 00:05:32.718
So this becomes a lifestyle for you, and sometimes without even a recipe, many times without even a recipe, because you're going to gain those skills of how to make unrecipes that's what we call them inside the Power on Plants family and you are going to love these things.
00:05:32.718 --> 00:05:36.641
And not only that, you're going to love your fellow pop family.
00:05:36.641 --> 00:05:43.423
You're not going to believe the amazing quality of people we have inside the free group and our membership.
00:05:43.831 --> 00:05:48.615
It's amazing what's going on, and this is another thing that you can do inside Pi.
00:05:48.615 --> 00:05:58.411
You can actually take what you learn here and discuss it amongst yourselves, ask further questions, see if anybody else has experience with these things we're talking about here.
00:05:58.411 --> 00:06:04.692
You know we do that sometimes on the inside, and it's really good to have the ability to be able to do that.
00:06:04.692 --> 00:06:09.211
Well, the one thing we're sharing with you today is something that's fairly new to me and Jared.
00:06:09.211 --> 00:06:18.125
We're always looking into the research and trying to find new things that we didn't know before, to give you the best information possible and to learn for ourselves.
00:06:18.125 --> 00:06:19.877
I mean, we're on this journey too, right.
00:06:20.189 --> 00:06:22.218
Well, we want a next level Always.
00:06:22.218 --> 00:06:27.341
Anything we can do to next level our health and make things even better, we're open for it.
00:06:27.341 --> 00:06:28.615
We want to learn these things.
00:06:29.170 --> 00:06:32.821
Our goal is to be excellent in all that we do.
00:06:32.821 --> 00:06:41.699
We want to be good stewards of our time and good stewards of the information that we present to you as well, because there's a responsibility in that.
00:06:41.699 --> 00:06:47.312
As believers, we feel a responsibility in that and we love and we care about you and we want your absolute best.
00:06:47.312 --> 00:06:50.237
So what exactly is this tip?
00:06:50.237 --> 00:06:51.922
It's very interesting.
00:06:51.922 --> 00:06:54.892
Actually, it has to do with the microbiome.
00:06:54.892 --> 00:07:18.829
Recently, we've been sharing about probiotics and prebiotics and different things about the gut microbiome, because we want those good gut bacteria to thrive and to flourish, and this is a tip that can help you to have the good bacteria grow at a more rapid rate and become stronger, to boost your immunity and to help you be well in so many different areas.
00:07:18.970 --> 00:07:29.923
And one of the easiest ways to make the gut microbiome flourish is by feeding it well, and we've talked about being sure to get different, various foods and fiber and starches.
00:07:29.923 --> 00:07:41.259
Well, today's tip is a way to actually enhance getting the food to those good gut bacteria that live in your colon, and the strategy is to eat berries whenever you eat.
00:07:41.259 --> 00:07:55.115
Starches, starches such as pancakes, waffles could be oats, could be toast, and the reason being is that there is a component found within berries that helps to slow down the digestion of starchy foods.
00:07:55.115 --> 00:08:01.757
There's a component within berries that actually inhibits amylase, which is an enzyme that helps to break down the starches faster.
00:08:01.757 --> 00:08:11.651
So if you inhibit that, then the starches stay around longer and then they can actually make their way to the colon, where they can then feed the good gut bacteria there and help them to flourish.
00:08:12.072 --> 00:08:13.334
Makes perfect sense.
00:08:13.334 --> 00:08:14.517
But who would have known?
00:08:14.517 --> 00:08:17.132
Right Apart from the research, who would have known?
00:08:17.132 --> 00:08:19.898
So here we have berries.
00:08:19.898 --> 00:08:30.480
Especially in the study it showed, the most effective ones at doing this were raspberries, strawberries, blackberries and pomegranates also do this somewhat.
00:08:30.480 --> 00:08:45.072
So when you're eating these berries with the starchier foods, it causes your body to not break them down as quickly, so they can travel farther down your digestive tract, possibly even making it to your colon, feeding the good gut bacteria.
00:08:45.072 --> 00:08:46.578
So what's the takeaway here?
00:08:46.669 --> 00:08:52.562
If you're eating something like pancakes or waffles or toast, get some berries in it.
00:08:52.562 --> 00:08:53.711
How do you do that?
00:08:53.711 --> 00:08:54.513
In a simple way.
00:08:54.513 --> 00:08:55.797
Do you need to worry every day?
00:08:55.797 --> 00:09:01.115
Oh, if I'm eating toast, pancakes, waffles or something that's very starchy, I need to be getting berries on it.
00:09:01.115 --> 00:09:08.087
No, you just eat more whole plant foods and you get a variety of color.
00:09:08.087 --> 00:09:09.770
I've said this so many times.
00:09:09.770 --> 00:09:19.490
I want you to let go of the worries of these things, because I know you guys are going to see these studies too over time, and we need to let you know about them, because these are small tweaks you can make.
00:09:19.490 --> 00:09:20.413
You can do that.
00:09:20.453 --> 00:09:23.361
If you're not putting berries in your pancakes or waffles, why not?
00:09:23.361 --> 00:09:26.270
It's going to greatly improve other things too.
00:09:26.270 --> 00:09:30.346
It's not just about slowing down the starches from breaking down right.
00:09:30.346 --> 00:09:38.174
It's also about getting all the other amazing things that God has put in that food that you're not getting when you eat a plain white pancake or a plain white waffle.
00:09:38.174 --> 00:09:42.250
Get the color in there, get the dark colors that you don't always eat.
00:09:42.250 --> 00:09:43.332
Where are you going to find those?
00:09:43.332 --> 00:09:48.541
You're going to find those in the things like blackberries, blueberries.
00:09:48.541 --> 00:09:53.654
Maybe you're not eating dark reds or bright pinks, like raspberries or pomegranates.
00:09:53.774 --> 00:09:55.720
Why aren't you eating those foods?
00:09:55.720 --> 00:09:58.354
When they're in season, especially, get them.
00:09:58.354 --> 00:10:01.625
If they're out of season, go to the freezer section and buy them.
00:10:01.625 --> 00:10:07.246
This is just a flag to say to you hey, eat more of these foods.
00:10:07.246 --> 00:10:09.653
If you're not eating them, why aren't you?
00:10:09.653 --> 00:10:10.635
You should be.
00:10:10.635 --> 00:10:12.740
Don't worry so much about combining.
00:10:12.740 --> 00:10:17.190
I don't want you to feel stuck and think, oh, I've got to remember to do this with this and that with that, not that with that.
00:10:17.190 --> 00:10:23.320
No, this is about getting more color, more berries in particular, into your life.
00:10:23.320 --> 00:10:26.544
If you're not doing that, start learning to love them.
00:10:26.544 --> 00:10:29.480
How could you enjoy them if you don't eat them?
00:10:29.991 --> 00:10:35.441
Do you know what else you're getting, other than just more color, more flavor, more flavor, more flavor.
00:10:35.529 --> 00:10:55.014
Oh, now we have another gold nugget coming from Jared, because that is where the game changes for you when you get foods that are fueling your body optimally, and that is exactly what whole plant foods do Fruits and vegetables, whole grains, nuts, seeds, legumes, and in the fruit category, there are berries.
00:10:55.014 --> 00:11:05.272
So when you are getting all of these foods into your life, you're not only getting all the nutrients, you're getting flavor, flavors that you've missed.
00:11:05.272 --> 00:11:14.159
And what blows my mind is the farther you go on this journey and it can be just as simple as a week or two or three your taste buds start clearing.
00:11:14.159 --> 00:11:16.653
You start tasting things and foods you never knew before.
00:11:16.995 --> 00:11:18.339
I didn't know broccoli was sweet.
00:11:18.339 --> 00:11:19.783
I ate a potato today.
00:11:19.783 --> 00:11:20.806
It tasted sweet to me.
00:11:20.806 --> 00:11:34.643
I put nothing sweet on it, but you can taste these flavors that were there all along and you were missing out because your taste buds were hijacked by all these fake foods or foods that are just not good for us.
00:11:34.643 --> 00:11:37.135
So what is the takeaway here?
00:11:37.135 --> 00:11:41.315
Again, it's getting more of the five whole plant foods.
00:11:41.315 --> 00:11:50.451
Particularly from this episode, I want you to focus on berries, and we'll throw pomegranates in there, because they were in this category and if you think about pomegranate kernels.
00:11:50.451 --> 00:11:52.513
It kind of looks like a berry, they do.
00:11:52.754 --> 00:11:53.955
I mean, they really do.
00:11:54.034 --> 00:11:58.380
They are so delicious, girl, I'm just going to tell you it's one of my favorite foods.
00:11:58.380 --> 00:12:01.063
If you're not eating it, why not Curtis?
00:12:01.063 --> 00:12:02.505
Do you eat those?
00:12:02.505 --> 00:12:07.809
John?
00:12:07.809 --> 00:12:08.291
Are you eating those?
00:12:08.291 --> 00:12:08.392
Like?
00:12:08.392 --> 00:12:09.153
You need to be getting pomegranates.
00:12:09.153 --> 00:12:12.861
So pomegranate season is in the fall and when you can get those, get them and learn how to get the seeds out.
00:12:12.861 --> 00:12:20.408
It's not hard, it's one of the easiest things in the world.
00:12:20.350 --> 00:12:23.188
You know, sometimes we get in our mind something's going to be really hard and it's just not hard, it's just because you don't know how Exactly.
00:12:23.188 --> 00:12:23.730
It's only hard until you know how to do it.
00:12:23.673 --> 00:12:26.210
And then, once you know how, it's just what you do, it's just what you do.
00:12:26.210 --> 00:12:31.274
And so the next time you're in the store I want you to look and see what is the new berry.
00:12:31.274 --> 00:12:33.297
I can try and start eating more of that berry.
00:12:33.297 --> 00:12:49.663
And by all means, when you're eating starchy foods and they're plain and white, like you ground up some oats or something and you're making a real quick, delicious waffle, like my gluten free waffles that are in the Power on Plants cookbook which, by the way, if you have not tried those, you need to get the cookbook.
00:12:49.663 --> 00:12:58.042
Okay, get the bundle at poweronplantscom forward slash cookbook and taste and see how good these are.
00:12:58.042 --> 00:13:00.214
But I don't want you to leave them plain.
00:13:00.214 --> 00:13:03.849
Why aren't you dropping some berries in there or on the top of them?
00:13:03.849 --> 00:13:08.120
Sometimes I drop them in before I cook it, sometimes I put them on the top and sometimes I do both.
00:13:08.120 --> 00:13:09.351
It's whatever you like.
00:13:09.351 --> 00:13:13.841
This is where you do you inside the most optimal foods for your health.
00:13:13.841 --> 00:13:17.158
This is where you do you, but get the colors in there.
00:13:17.158 --> 00:13:21.076
Top those things with the wonderful, delicious berries.
00:13:21.076 --> 00:13:31.871
You won't believe how much better you're going to feel getting these amazing foods that God created to help your body heal and to make you feel better into your life.
00:13:31.871 --> 00:13:35.057
It is going to make all the difference for you.
00:13:35.597 --> 00:13:39.725
