00:00:00.522 --> 00:00:03.111
Good day, sunshine.

00:00:03.111 --> 00:00:28.402
A big turnaround for you.

00:00:28.402 --> 00:00:30.829
So join us today as we discuss the differences between making a choice and making a decision.

00:00:30.829 --> 00:00:33.475
Hey sister, welcome to the Power on Plants podcast.

00:00:33.475 --> 00:00:38.792
Are you tired of staring into the fridge wondering what to eat so you can just feel better?

00:00:38.792 --> 00:00:44.185
Do you want to avoid spending hours in the kitchen making complicated meals in the name of health?

00:00:44.185 --> 00:00:50.435
Would you love to leave fatigue behind and finally have the energy to do all the things you want to do?

00:00:50.899 --> 00:00:58.094
Hi, we're Jared and Anita Roussel, christ followers, health care professionals, parents of four and big fans of great tasting food.

00:00:58.094 --> 00:01:10.332
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.

00:01:10.332 --> 00:01:17.561
So we dug into the research and created our secret nutritional weapon sustainable plant-based living.

00:01:17.561 --> 00:01:21.349
The truth is, you can eat more whole plant foods, and it's not hard.

00:01:21.349 --> 00:01:22.893
You just need the way.

00:01:22.893 --> 00:01:26.501
That's realistic and delicious, so you never feel deprived.

00:01:26.903 --> 00:01:34.753
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.

00:01:34.753 --> 00:01:40.028
So grab your favorite plant-based cup of happy pop in those earbuds and let's get started.

00:01:40.028 --> 00:01:41.710
Hey there, sunshine.

00:01:41.710 --> 00:01:43.762
We are so glad to have you with us today.

00:01:43.762 --> 00:01:53.176
If you're new to Whole Food, plant-based Living, you are in the perfect place, and if you've been on this amazing journey for a while now, you know we're happy to have you as a part of the Power on Plants family.

00:01:53.176 --> 00:02:04.010
We love getting to know you, hearing the testimonials of what's happening in your life through the emails that you send us inside of Pi, our free community, and working with you as our clients.

00:02:04.010 --> 00:02:09.707
This is game-changing Well, I really shouldn't say game-changing, because life is not a game.

00:02:09.788 --> 00:02:11.764
I don't know why we, why do we use game-changing?

00:02:12.268 --> 00:02:13.513
Is it the sports attitude?

00:02:13.513 --> 00:02:19.451
I think it's just a sports analogy and it's just become common vernacular and people know what you mean when you say game-changing.

00:02:19.451 --> 00:02:20.801
It's life-changing.

00:02:20.801 --> 00:02:23.086
Yeah, exactly this is life-changing.

00:02:23.146 --> 00:02:28.188
It's life-giving and you have chosen the absolute best thing to look into.

00:02:28.188 --> 00:02:29.694
Maybe you're doing just that.

00:02:29.694 --> 00:02:31.843
You're looking into whole food, plant-based living.

00:02:31.843 --> 00:02:36.825
What we want you to start thinking about today is something that Jared and I were talking about recently.

00:02:36.825 --> 00:02:40.420
You know, I just went on a trip to visit some good friends of ours.

00:02:40.420 --> 00:02:42.364
I visited my brother also on this trip.

00:02:42.364 --> 00:02:43.485
It was so much fun.

00:02:43.544 --> 00:02:53.973
I took our oldest with us and when I got back, jared and I went down to our favorite place by the beach and we love to sit there and discuss what have we been thinking, what have we been learning?

00:02:53.973 --> 00:03:02.824
And he had been listening to some teaching on a different topic and he told me he said what the guy was saying absolutely applies to whole food, plant-based living.

00:03:02.824 --> 00:03:26.001
It wasn't about plant-based living, it wasn't even about health, but what's so much fun is when, all of a sudden, god takes these things you've been learning in these different areas of your life and this light bulb goes off and you realize, man, this totally applies to a lot of life, but especially with whole food, plant-based living, and that is the difference between making a choice and making a decision.

00:03:26.641 --> 00:03:30.951
And what he was talking about is how do you get massive results in anything?

00:03:30.951 --> 00:03:33.122
Of course he was talking about in finance.

00:03:33.122 --> 00:03:36.390
But who doesn't want massive results with their life?

00:03:36.390 --> 00:03:37.800
With this lifestyle?

00:03:37.800 --> 00:03:40.688
We have chosen to pursue whole food, plant-based living.

00:03:40.688 --> 00:03:42.681
If you're going to do it, do it right.

00:03:42.681 --> 00:03:44.206
Get massive results.

00:03:44.206 --> 00:03:47.587
So you may be thinking well, decision, choice.

00:03:47.587 --> 00:03:55.697
That really sounds like the same thing, but when you really tease out the finer points of both, they're similar but different.

00:03:55.937 --> 00:03:57.141
I think they're very different.

00:03:57.242 --> 00:03:58.268
They're very different.

00:03:58.268 --> 00:04:04.728
But again, on the surface you may think, wait a minute, are you just kind of playing word games here?

00:04:04.728 --> 00:04:06.270
And the answer is no.

00:04:06.270 --> 00:04:22.093
So with a choice, you have different selections, but you do not eliminate any of those selections, meaning today I choose A, but tomorrow I might choose B, if that suits my fancy that day, or just whatever.

00:04:22.093 --> 00:04:36.572
Whereas a decision, when you actually look at the meaning of the word, it, means you select one option and then you close yourself off to all other options which, when you look at it from a biblical standpoint, sounds a lot like a covenant.

00:04:36.572 --> 00:04:42.713
It sounds a lot like, hey, I'm doing this and I'm going to go at it with all that I have.

00:04:42.713 --> 00:04:47.451
And I thought of a great analogy, which would be dating versus marriage.

00:04:47.451 --> 00:05:02.668
So in the traditional, worldly sense of dating, you're going out, you're meeting a lot of different people, you're getting to know them, whereas with marriage, you're saying I'm committing to you and you alone, and I'm shutting myself off from all other options.

00:05:02.910 --> 00:05:04.415
That would be a decision that would be a decision.

00:05:04.435 --> 00:05:08.189
That would be a decision and, like I said, that is more like a covenant.

00:05:08.189 --> 00:05:21.019
You are going to give it all that you have to pursue that one Well in marriage, that one person, but in the whole food plant based world you're going to pursue whole food plant based with all that you have.

00:05:21.880 --> 00:05:33.971
So, in other words, you're not leaving the door open, you're not just making a choice and saying, well, I'm going to try this out, that's a choice, I'm going to try this out, and maybe so you've got in the back of your mind there's always an out.

00:05:33.971 --> 00:05:38.130
It's like entering marriage with the idea that divorce is always an option.

00:05:38.130 --> 00:05:44.742
So, in the world of whole food, plant based living, how do you make the distinction between making a choice and making a decision?

00:05:44.742 --> 00:05:45.684
How does this apply?

00:05:45.684 --> 00:05:57.788
Well, when you're looking at starting a whole food, plant-based diet or maybe you've started, but in your mind, you've got in the back of your mind I'm going to try this for a little while, and if it doesn't work out, I can always do something else.

00:05:57.788 --> 00:06:07.107
Now, while that may be true, you don't want to enter in with the idea of I'm going to test this out, I'm going to try it to see.

00:06:07.107 --> 00:06:09.423
Just make the decision.

00:06:09.423 --> 00:06:11.733
It's going to be so much easier for you.

00:06:11.733 --> 00:06:16.831
Take it from two healthcare professionals that work with our clients and patients on a regular basis.

00:06:16.831 --> 00:06:20.161
You do not want to make a choice when it comes to this.

00:06:20.161 --> 00:06:26.223
You want it to be a solid decision, thinking okay, I have surety, I have decisiveness.

00:06:26.584 --> 00:06:32.048
I've seen the results, I've read the testimonials, I've watched the movies and the science backs it up.

00:06:32.048 --> 00:06:33.692
The science backs it up.

00:06:33.692 --> 00:06:37.415
God says in Genesis 129, this is the best way to feed my body.

00:06:37.415 --> 00:06:39.281
It's how I was originally created to eat.

00:06:39.281 --> 00:06:59.757
When we look at all these things together and we see all the different diseases that reverse I mean Jared and I alone in our medical practice regularly see patients reverse type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, autoimmune disease, low energy, brain fog, aches and pains.

00:06:59.757 --> 00:07:01.600
There's so many different things.

00:07:01.600 --> 00:07:17.576
I mean I alone have reversed my fibrocystic breast disease and interstitial cystitis and fibromyalgia and all these different things that I was dealing with in my life low energy, all these things that were keeping me from living the life that I wanted to live.

00:07:17.576 --> 00:07:18.516
How did I do that?

00:07:18.516 --> 00:07:26.533
I reached a point where I was so miserable I knew I had to make a decision to go all in on something that was going to make a difference in my life.

00:07:26.533 --> 00:07:38.946
And when we started reading and digging into the research and seeing all the testimonials, like we're telling you to look at or listen to here on the podcast or watch the movie Forks Over Knives or the movie what the Health?

00:07:38.946 --> 00:07:40.509
Those are both online.

00:07:40.509 --> 00:07:43.781
Look them up, watch them, get yourself motivated.

00:07:43.781 --> 00:07:49.553
See the testimonials, listen to what we're telling you and sharing and the people that come on here and share their results.

00:07:49.553 --> 00:07:54.312
Get inside Pi, our free group, and get the inspiration you need.

00:07:54.312 --> 00:07:57.567
But once you have all that and you say, look, this works.

00:07:57.567 --> 00:07:58.992
And it works for a lot of stuff.

00:07:58.992 --> 00:08:01.644
And here it is in the Bible and here's the results.

00:08:02.160 --> 00:08:06.185
Once you've got that, don't wait until you have everything perfectly figured out.

00:08:06.185 --> 00:08:07.887
Once you've got that, don't wait until you have everything perfectly figured out.

00:08:07.887 --> 00:08:12.535
Make the decision, go all in and be sure of the course that you've decided and walk confidently in it.

00:08:12.535 --> 00:08:15.829
Does this mean you have to have everything figured out ahead of time?

00:08:15.829 --> 00:08:24.074
No, but you have decided and you are going to start moving forward in this one direction.

00:08:24.074 --> 00:08:28.927
Yes, there are tons of great things you can learn that are going to help you on this whole food plant-based journey.

00:08:29.629 --> 00:08:44.225
In our upcoming course, I'm going to be taking you through our five-step success path to show you, step-by-step, exactly how to make plant-based living sustainable so you can feel great and actively enjoy living.

00:08:44.225 --> 00:08:46.350
But do not wait.

00:08:46.350 --> 00:08:57.509
You have there's no reason to wait till you have it all perfectly figured out or you know all the things to make it quicker and simple and easy and delicious.

00:08:57.509 --> 00:09:00.725
We're going to show you all those things as we go inside the course.

00:09:00.725 --> 00:09:04.645
I'm going to be doing kitchen demos and showing you these things step by step.

00:09:04.645 --> 00:09:12.666
But right now, surround yourself with the people that are going to inspire you and what they've already learned, that they can start sharing those with you.

00:09:12.666 --> 00:09:19.615
Get yourself in a place where you can look up specifically where we've talked about different things, about whole food, plant-based living.

00:09:19.615 --> 00:09:23.190
You can search the exact place where we've said those things in our podcast.

00:09:23.190 --> 00:09:27.361
You can get all these things right now inside our free group podcast.

00:09:27.361 --> 00:09:32.081
Insiders experience by going to power on plantscom forward slash pie.

00:09:32.081 --> 00:09:38.677
That's poweronplantscom forward slash pie, and there is where you're going to get started.

00:09:39.138 --> 00:09:44.597
Make the decision, just gain the basic information you need and say, look, I'm headed this way.

00:09:44.597 --> 00:09:52.525
There's no going back, I'm not going to just be testing the waters, I'm not going to date around like, if this doesn't work, I can try keto, I can try carnivore, I can try this.

00:09:52.525 --> 00:09:58.725
Just let all other options go right now and say, look, I'm not going to be thinking about all the things I could be doing.

00:09:58.725 --> 00:10:03.124
I'm going to decide the one thing that research shows time and again works.

00:10:03.124 --> 00:10:14.648
I'm going to start eating the most nutrient dense foods on the planet that fuel my body well, that set me up for success, that give me the future that I know I was created to have.

00:10:15.049 --> 00:10:19.802
I was not meant to be walking around sick and exhausted and unable to think.

00:10:19.802 --> 00:10:21.546
God has great things for me.

00:10:21.546 --> 00:10:23.918
There are great things that I've been put here to do.

00:10:23.918 --> 00:10:29.600
And how can I do those things if I'm not taking care of my body, if it's not getting the nutrients it needs?

00:10:29.600 --> 00:10:31.325
Yeah, I'm hungry all the time.

00:10:31.325 --> 00:10:35.044
I'm hungry all the time because my body's crying out you need the nutrients you're not getting.

00:10:35.044 --> 00:10:39.787
How do you get those in the way that is simple, enjoyable and delicious?

00:10:39.787 --> 00:10:41.581
How do you get your mindset right?

00:10:41.581 --> 00:10:43.120
How do you get your environment right?

00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:49.445
Those are five things that we're going to be walking you through, not in that specific order, but these are the things you need to understand.

00:10:49.495 --> 00:10:51.836
But you don't have to have it all figured out in the beginning.

00:10:51.836 --> 00:10:54.440
Don't have to have it all figured out in the beginning, and that is the beautiful news here.

00:10:54.440 --> 00:10:57.322
You just need to start surrounding yourself with the right people.

00:10:57.322 --> 00:10:58.423
You make that decision.

00:10:58.423 --> 00:11:02.568
You say this is what I'm going to do, because I see time and again that it works.

00:11:02.568 --> 00:11:04.149
It blows our minds.

00:11:04.149 --> 00:11:05.672
It still blows our minds.

00:11:05.672 --> 00:11:14.715
We've been doing this for years, gotten amazing results for ourselves, but we see our clients this stuff happening all the time.

00:11:15.434 --> 00:11:19.605
Jared just had a client that he works with in telemedicine and he told her these things nobody has told her this before.

00:11:19.605 --> 00:11:22.182
And he's like look, you're dealing with type 2 diabetes.

00:11:22.182 --> 00:11:24.029
You're wearing a glucose monitor every day.

00:11:24.029 --> 00:11:25.961
I want you to think about how that affects her life.

00:11:25.961 --> 00:11:29.015
How are your health struggles affecting your life every day?

00:11:29.015 --> 00:11:30.298
All these things you're struggling with.

00:11:30.599 --> 00:11:36.070
And you go to the doctor and they keep giving you medicines and they don't get to the root cause and you're like I don't know what to do.

00:11:36.070 --> 00:11:40.620
I've tried diet after diet I ought to be a nutrition expert by now and it's not working.

00:11:40.620 --> 00:11:43.005
It's not sustainable, it does not last.

00:11:43.005 --> 00:11:56.466
And he shared with her the simple principles that you're going to start implementing when you come inside Pi and the things that we're going to walk you through step by step in depth in the kitchen, showing you how to do these things when our course comes out.

00:11:56.466 --> 00:11:57.908
Do not wait Again.

00:11:57.908 --> 00:11:58.609
Get inside, pie.

00:11:58.609 --> 00:12:02.328
But I want you to understand what has happened for this woman and what can start happening for you.

00:12:02.328 --> 00:12:03.934
You won't believe it.

00:12:03.934 --> 00:12:06.602
In such a short amount of time he's got to tell the story.

00:12:06.643 --> 00:12:09.716
Yeah, well, within two weeks she no longer needs insulin.

00:12:09.716 --> 00:12:13.239
Her blood sugar levels have normalized within just two weeks.

00:12:13.239 --> 00:12:16.541
So you don't have to wait six months a year to get results.

00:12:16.541 --> 00:12:19.923
You can see changes in as little as a week or two.

00:12:20.445 --> 00:12:22.905
And he's having his appointments with her and she's going.

00:12:22.905 --> 00:12:24.548
Why has nobody told me this?

00:12:24.548 --> 00:12:25.849
You can't say that.

00:12:25.849 --> 00:12:27.970
We're telling you this now and now.

00:12:27.970 --> 00:12:32.595
You know, and now you have a choice to make, but are you going to make a choice?

00:12:32.595 --> 00:12:36.177
Or are you going to make a choice or are you going to make a decision that's going to change your life?

00:12:36.177 --> 00:12:38.599
Because you've decided this is for me.

00:12:38.599 --> 00:13:08.366
I'm going to try this and I'm going to go straight forward and look and keep my on this course to changing their lives, hearing their testimonials, getting to know them, building relationships and surround myself with people that are going to encourage me and share their ideas, and I can share mine, and I'll tell you that's what makes 100% of the difference.

00:13:08.366 --> 00:13:15.419
Get yourself in that right place, make the decision and get yourself in a place where you're going to get the support and encouragement that you need.

00:13:16.042 --> 00:13:18.346
Because what we find is a lot of people that fail.

00:13:18.346 --> 00:13:24.235
They're isolated, they're trying to go it alone, they get discouraged and then they fall right back to what they were doing before.

00:13:24.235 --> 00:13:26.341
So community is so important.

00:13:26.500 --> 00:13:26.841
It's key.

00:13:26.841 --> 00:13:28.666
It's absolutely key.

00:13:28.666 --> 00:13:38.841
We hope that this amazing testimonial has inspired you to make the decision to step into whole food, plant-based living a hundred percent Go all in.

00:13:38.841 --> 00:13:43.578
Things can happen so very quickly and, honestly, it is the easiest way to go.

00:13:43.578 --> 00:13:44.962
Don't look back.

00:13:44.962 --> 00:13:49.581
Surround yourself with people that are going to encourage you, because this is your life.

00:13:49.581 --> 00:13:53.397
Who else is going to make these decisions for you but you?

00:13:53.397 --> 00:13:58.061
Sometimes these things seem so hard and you feel like you've got to have everything all figured out, but you don't.

00:13:58.061 --> 00:14:03.827
Sometimes it's the key of making that one right decision that's going to change everything for you.

00:14:03.827 --> 00:14:05.681
