00:00:00.261 --> 00:00:01.286
Hey there, sunshine.

00:00:01.286 --> 00:00:14.092
When you're relatively new to whole food, plant-based eating, it can be tempting to get overwhelmed, feeling like it's so new to me that, therefore, it is going to be difficult.

00:00:14.092 --> 00:00:21.469
I want you to understand that there are many lies that our enemy tells us in order to keep us stuck in health struggles.

00:00:21.469 --> 00:00:26.288
Today, we're going to do away with one of these lies once and for all.

00:00:26.288 --> 00:00:29.928
Hey sister, welcome to the Power on Plants podcast.

00:00:29.928 --> 00:00:35.246
Are you tired of staring into the fridge wondering what to eat so you can just feel better?

00:00:35.246 --> 00:00:40.649
Do you want to avoid spending hours in the kitchen making complicated meals in the name of health?

00:00:40.649 --> 00:00:46.942
Would you love to leave fatigue behind and finally have the energy to do all the things you want to do?

00:00:46.942 --> 00:00:54.591
Hi, we're Jared and Anita Roussel, christ followers, healthcare professionals, parents of four and big fans of great tasting food.

00:00:54.591 --> 00:01:06.793
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.

00:01:06.793 --> 00:01:14.010
So we dug into the research and created our secret nutritional weapon sustainable plant-based living.

00:01:14.010 --> 00:01:17.805
The truth is, you can eat more whole plant foods and it's not hard.

00:01:17.805 --> 00:01:22.965
You just need the way that's realistic and delicious, so you never feel deprived.

00:01:22.965 --> 00:01:31.192
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.

00:01:31.192 --> 00:01:36.471
So grab your favorite plant-based cup of happy pop in those earbuds and let's get started.

00:01:36.471 --> 00:01:40.326
We are so happy to be with you again today.

00:01:40.326 --> 00:01:51.453
What a blessing it is to be given another day of life, that we can live together and feel our best together and become all that we were created to be, because we finally feel good.

00:01:51.453 --> 00:01:52.903
Right, we finally feel like it.

00:01:52.903 --> 00:02:07.896
If you're not there yet, don't worry, you are in the right place, because that is what Jared and I are all about using whole plant foods in order to heal naturally, so you can finally feel like living your God-given calling.

00:02:07.896 --> 00:02:11.110
This is what lights us up.

00:02:11.300 --> 00:02:18.768
So today, jared and I want to talk to you about something that is a lie of the enemy that you may be tempted to believe.

00:02:18.768 --> 00:02:28.419
There are so many of these, and we are going to be busting these down and breaking these myths inside the course of these, and we are going to be busting these down and breaking these myths inside the course.

00:02:28.419 --> 00:02:34.467
I am beyond excited about what we're going to be sharing with you about how to recognize and bust these lies so that you can move on.

00:02:34.467 --> 00:02:35.289
This is more than just myth busting.

00:02:35.289 --> 00:02:41.830
This is building up yourself in truth, so that you don't have to struggle to feel your best anymore.

00:02:41.830 --> 00:02:51.161
It's just ridiculous these lies that we believe about what it takes to get healthy, and I want to talk about one of the specific things of it's going to be new.

00:02:51.161 --> 00:02:54.508
It's all so new to you, so it's going to be difficult.

00:02:54.949 --> 00:02:56.973
Well, let's talk about the truth here.

00:02:56.973 --> 00:02:57.981
What is truth?

00:02:57.981 --> 00:03:01.372
We should all always be learning and growing.

00:03:01.372 --> 00:03:06.933
So, no matter how long you've been doing healthy, plant-based living, you should always be learning something new.

00:03:06.933 --> 00:03:11.522
So, no matter how long you've been doing healthy, plant-based living, you should always be learning something new.

00:03:11.522 --> 00:03:12.625
So you're just at a different stage of the process.

00:03:12.625 --> 00:03:18.423
If you're at the beginning, yes, it's new to you, but we should always be enjoying the process of learning something new.

00:03:18.484 --> 00:03:36.751
Because if you stay stuck in that same old place, if the enemy can get you stuck in those same old processes, those same old thoughts, those same old place, if the enemy can get you stuck in those same old processes, the same old thoughts, the same old actions that the thoughts bring about, then you can never get to the next level, where you need to be in order to feel your best.

00:03:36.751 --> 00:03:42.211
So I'm talking about this specifically from a health perspective, but this works in many different areas of life.

00:03:42.211 --> 00:03:51.088
Our enemy's very crafty and he wants to get us off track, especially in our health, because he does not want us to feel good.

00:03:51.088 --> 00:04:03.174
But when we learn the truths and we replace those lies with the truth, it's then that we're free and able to do the things that we were created to do and find the most fulfillment in life.

00:04:03.174 --> 00:04:16.456
We no longer sit on the sidelines just wishing that we could run and play with our children or go and experience all the places we want to visit, or take our business to the next level, beyond what we've been stuck at for far too long.

00:04:16.456 --> 00:04:19.564
And so these are the things that we love helping you to do.

00:04:20.045 --> 00:04:24.144
But think about this how many times have you thought, oh, that's new.

00:04:24.144 --> 00:04:26.031
I don't really know much about that.

00:04:26.031 --> 00:04:29.350
And then the next step is you move into oh yeah, that's going to be hard.

00:04:29.350 --> 00:04:33.411
Just because you think it's new, it equals hard or difficult.

00:04:33.411 --> 00:04:35.685
But really, with whole food, plant-based.

00:04:35.685 --> 00:04:37.911
That cannot be any farther from the truth.

00:04:37.911 --> 00:04:40.120
So new should not scare us.

00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:46.545
But we also need to crush the additional lie of it's hard, and I think those two things kind of go hand in hand.

00:04:46.985 --> 00:04:51.730
Well, how many times have we been in a situation where we thought it's new, it's different, it's hard.

00:04:51.730 --> 00:05:01.276
Once we learned how and got beyond that quote unquote, it's hard phase, we then gained that new skill, that new knowledge, and then enjoyed it.

00:05:01.276 --> 00:05:02.798
It became fun.

00:05:02.798 --> 00:05:08.423
It became not new and difficult, but it became maybe your everyday.

00:05:08.423 --> 00:05:09.346
How many times have we been in this situation?

00:05:09.346 --> 00:05:15.790
I would think in school, maybe you've mastered a certain subject, or in work, you've mastered a specific project.

00:05:15.790 --> 00:05:19.249
But once you got beyond that it's hard, it became fun.

00:05:19.249 --> 00:05:24.184
The discovery, the learning new things, implementing new strategies, putting it all together.

00:05:24.184 --> 00:05:28.994
And then, once you were done, you think, wow, I have this sense of accomplishment that I didn't have before.

00:05:28.994 --> 00:05:43.452
I want you in this situation if you're feeling that way about whole food, plant-based, reflect upon those times whenever you felt that way, conquered the challenge, and then you felt, I don't know, invigorated, creative, whatever it is for you.

00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:48.165
And when you talk about school, that made me think about something that we haven't really talked about before.

00:05:48.165 --> 00:05:53.752
But you think back to those teachers that you love the most the mentors.

00:05:53.752 --> 00:05:54.612
They were mentors.

00:05:54.612 --> 00:05:56.767
They didn't just get up there and give you a spiel.

00:05:56.767 --> 00:06:09.747
They actually showed you examples from their own life and what they loved about it, and they were lit up about their subject and they knew the ways to make it simple and enjoyable.

00:06:09.747 --> 00:06:14.286
So it wasn't just hey, I'm going to show you how to do this thing, and then you're sitting there and it's drudgery learning.

00:06:14.286 --> 00:06:17.184
It's like, okay, I've got to learn this if I want to learn how to do this thing.

00:06:17.184 --> 00:06:21.803
No, they know how to find the joy because they've been doing this for long enough.

00:06:21.803 --> 00:06:24.790
If you can find that mentor that knows how.

00:06:24.911 --> 00:06:42.351
And this perfectly describes me and Jared in the plant-based space, because we have spent so much time on our own journey, years and years of going through and figuring out how to finally feel good so that we could do all those things that we were missing out on for far too long.

00:06:42.351 --> 00:06:53.173
And then there was the whole side of it that we just got tired of being the medical professional and the nursing professional who were helping our clients manage their diseases.

00:06:53.173 --> 00:07:07.192
We were ready to help our clients find real answers, get real results, but not in the way that involved the drudgery of the new and the I'm plodding through it methods that we are trained to believe.

00:07:07.192 --> 00:07:16.348
Again, I believe these seeds are craftily planted by our enemy that if it's new it's going to be difficult, and he's done it so well because of our past experiences.

00:07:16.348 --> 00:07:17.940
You've tried to get healthy in the past.

00:07:17.940 --> 00:07:18.963
You've tried to lose weight.

00:07:18.963 --> 00:07:29.399
Maybe you've tried to decrease your blood pressure, your cholesterol or get healthy, and we come to believe that all the miserable methods that we've been trained in in the past are the only ways we're going to get there.

00:07:29.399 --> 00:07:50.088
So we think we have to keep going back to those miserable methods instead of finding a mentor who's learned a way to do the thing that we know is the answer, but knows how to make it not miserable but actually fun and enjoyable so enjoyable and realistic with our regular lifestyle that we can actually do it without ever thinking the words falling off the wagon.

00:07:50.088 --> 00:08:02.615
I mean, really it's absolutely amazing when you can learn those strategies to make it enjoyable, to light you up and taste so delicious that you never think about returning, and you know I talk about finding your new favorites a lot.

00:08:03.281 --> 00:08:16.387
This is one of the things that brought this up this week, because this week our son has been in the kitchen and if you're inside our free group Podcast, insiders Experience, I want you to get on there and watch the video I've posted for you.

00:08:16.387 --> 00:08:19.949
You can see these chicken nuggets our son's come up with.

00:08:19.949 --> 00:08:21.365
He's 16 years old.

00:08:21.365 --> 00:08:29.065
Okay, imagine this 16-year-old boy in the kitchen cooking, creating recipes Because of the skills he's learned.

00:08:29.065 --> 00:08:30.471
He loves cooking.

00:08:30.471 --> 00:08:32.147
All four of our kids do this.

00:08:32.147 --> 00:08:40.509
Three of them are teens, one of them is a 12-year-old, almost a teen, and they all cook meals on the regular.

00:08:40.509 --> 00:08:43.970
Not only that, they're getting in there creating brand new things.

00:08:43.990 --> 00:08:49.712
Yes, and what I love most about this is he's created these chicken nuggets.

00:08:49.712 --> 00:08:59.985
What I love about this is not only that this is going to be in our volume three cookbook that will come out in the future, but I'm going to be able to walk you through this step-by-step inside the course how to make these.

00:08:59.985 --> 00:09:05.565
They are that good and this just lights us up because they taste amazing.

00:09:05.565 --> 00:09:07.067
But he's learned how to think.

00:09:07.067 --> 00:09:09.461
What do I love that I'm missing out on?

00:09:09.461 --> 00:09:13.970
And he really just decided I'm missing out on fried chicken or chicken nuggets.

00:09:13.970 --> 00:09:16.020
I want that flavor.

00:09:16.142 --> 00:09:19.900
And so he asked me mom, what do you think about this and this and putting this and this together?

00:09:19.900 --> 00:09:21.404
Would that make a good fried chicken nugget?

00:09:21.404 --> 00:09:23.509
I said it sounds amazing, try it.

00:09:23.509 --> 00:09:24.471
He did.

00:09:24.471 --> 00:09:26.442
They are ridiculous.

00:09:26.442 --> 00:09:32.955
I mean seriously like I'm having flashbacks to when we used to eat the crumbs off the.

00:09:32.955 --> 00:09:43.047
I don't know if your mom used to do this, but like when we would fry chicken or something, she would take it up and let the oil drip off and then put it on something like a paper towel, and so you've got all those little bits.

00:09:43.047 --> 00:09:46.089
Think like the little crunchy bits, little crunchies.

00:09:46.089 --> 00:09:48.307
It reminds me of Josh Sneed.

00:09:48.307 --> 00:09:49.169
That's hilarious.

00:09:49.169 --> 00:09:57.114
There's this comedian that has this little spiel about eating at Long John Silver's and how they started upcharging you at Long John Silver's for the little crunchies.

00:09:57.114 --> 00:09:58.322
Does he call them crunchies?

00:09:58.884 --> 00:09:59.547
I think so.

00:09:59.547 --> 00:10:02.158
Yeah, like the little he refers to them a couple different ways.

00:10:02.158 --> 00:10:07.384
In one part he's saying, hey, give me some of that garbage, Put some garbage in the bottom of my little treasure chest.

00:10:07.384 --> 00:10:10.506
And he says did I just hear this guy ask for the crumbs?

00:10:11.027 --> 00:10:11.368
Right.

00:10:11.368 --> 00:10:18.833
He heard a guy asking for the crumbs the garbage that was down there and they hit an upsell button because people started asking for them, for their so good.

00:10:18.833 --> 00:10:21.996
Well, with this recipe you get those for free.

00:10:21.996 --> 00:10:28.094
And it's so amazing because you have these chicken nuggets that are crunchy.

00:10:28.094 --> 00:10:31.908
So when you're in pie, I want you to go and click the play button and watch it.

00:10:31.908 --> 00:10:33.370
I need to add in the video for you.

00:10:33.370 --> 00:10:35.562
I'll do that right after we take this podcast.

00:10:35.842 --> 00:10:42.654
You may have to search back a little, but search chicken C-H-I-C-K-N.

00:10:42.654 --> 00:10:46.225
Apostrophe Okay, leave the E out.

00:10:46.225 --> 00:10:47.548
C-h-i-c-k-n.

00:10:47.548 --> 00:10:56.423
Apostrophe Chicken Nugget Supreme that's what I called it and search that at the top search bar and it will pull it up for you and you'll be able to click on it and see this.

00:10:56.423 --> 00:11:04.049
But I taped a video of my son holding the tray of them so you can see up close what they look like and then you can actually hear them.

00:11:04.049 --> 00:11:06.336
You can hear the crunch of them, rattling them around.

00:11:06.336 --> 00:11:13.725
It is really amazing, like we were just all flipping out and then we're dipping them in our chicken nugget sauce, called the Chick-No-Way sauce.

00:11:13.725 --> 00:11:15.732
Can I tell you how good that is?

00:11:15.933 --> 00:11:18.582
There's a certain restaurant that closes on a Sunday.

00:11:18.582 --> 00:11:20.827
If you're a believer, you probably know what I'm talking about.

00:11:20.827 --> 00:11:31.585
Okay, so they have this yellow sauce that they sell with their chicken nuggets, called their restaurant name, and then sauce it's just their name sauce, that's it.

00:11:31.585 --> 00:11:35.967
If you want to make the duplicate or the copycat of that, get the Power on Plants cookbook.

00:11:35.967 --> 00:11:41.408

It's amazing.

00:12:01.505 --> 00:12:05.683
Ask your plant-based questions and find your new plant-based buds.

00:12:05.683 --> 00:12:07.090
I mean, this is a family.

00:12:07.090 --> 00:12:17.509
This is different than other plant-based spaces that we've witnessed or been a part of, because it's a group of believers going somewhere together, recognizing that we are a movement.

00:12:17.580 --> 00:12:20.429
This is not just about eating some plant-based food or getting a couple of recipes.

00:12:20.429 --> 00:12:27.669
This is learning the simple, enjoyable and delicious ways to doing it, but also recognizing in the beginning we have an enemy.

00:12:27.669 --> 00:12:28.802
He has lies.

00:12:28.802 --> 00:12:34.802
He tells us what are those lies, having the scales pulled from your eyes to see what the lies are.

00:12:34.802 --> 00:12:36.447
Now your eyes are open.

00:12:36.447 --> 00:12:38.452
You've got to replace those lies with truth.

00:12:38.452 --> 00:12:44.602
Now the truth comes in and all of a sudden you're getting set free and you're seeing why you couldn't get well before.

00:12:44.602 --> 00:12:47.350
Now you've got all that package of goodness.

00:12:47.350 --> 00:12:48.533
You're getting healed.

00:12:48.533 --> 00:12:51.730
You have your mind renewed to the truth.

00:12:51.730 --> 00:12:53.725
Now you get the skills.

00:12:53.725 --> 00:12:55.186
Now you get the tactics.

00:12:55.500 --> 00:12:57.347
This is what we're going to be doing inside the course.

00:12:57.347 --> 00:12:59.707
It's going to change everything for you.

00:12:59.707 --> 00:13:13.950
I cannot tell you how excited we are about all these things that are coming up, but right now I want you to take just this one thing, just this one thing, and I want you to think about this teenage boy.

00:13:13.950 --> 00:13:18.426
And it's not because he's sat by my side every time I've done things.

00:13:18.426 --> 00:13:22.268
He has learned the skills over the years that we're gonna be teaching you inside the course.

00:13:22.268 --> 00:13:34.541
I want you to think about this 16-year-old boy in the kitchen coming up with recipes, as does his 17-year-old boy in the kitchen coming up with recipes, as does his seventeen-year-old brother, as does his nineteen-year-old sister, as does his twelve-year-old sister.

00:13:34.541 --> 00:13:37.630
Same thing All baking, all cooking.

00:13:37.630 --> 00:13:37.912
Why?

00:13:37.912 --> 00:13:39.416
Because it's just that simple.

00:13:39.416 --> 00:13:44.086
They've been doing this now for over five years, all of them.

00:13:44.245 --> 00:13:48.594
Oh yeah, madeline, our nineteen-year-old came up with a biscotti recipe a couple years ago.

00:13:48.594 --> 00:13:53.386
She just decided I want biscotti and she found a recipe and did it.

00:13:53.386 --> 00:13:54.389
The power on plants way.

00:13:54.559 --> 00:13:58.551
Let's talk about the whole food plant-based chocolate chip cookies they just cranked out today.

00:13:58.551 --> 00:14:05.043
The girls got in the kitchen and they just wanted to do something together and they just threw together a chocolate chip recipe.

00:14:05.043 --> 00:14:06.585
They're amazing.

00:14:06.585 --> 00:14:10.591
Okay, the recipe is not available yet, but it will probably be coming up.

00:14:10.591 --> 00:14:12.874
All these things are going to be available.

00:14:12.913 --> 00:14:14.174
I'll make their way to you eventually.

00:14:20.340 --> 00:14:20.701
Coming up.

00:14:20.701 --> 00:14:22.308
But listen, just grab what you can now, because we've got a lot of the things.

00:14:22.308 --> 00:14:23.554
If you wonder, what in the world do I eat?

00:14:23.554 --> 00:14:37.399
Where in the world do I start Get the cookbooks, get started there and then inside the the course, I'm going to be walking you through a lot of the things, including some things that are already in the cookbook, so you'll get to join me in the kitchen and walk step by step through different things throughout the course.

00:14:37.399 --> 00:14:40.466
You need to learn basic substitutions for things.

00:14:40.466 --> 00:14:46.004
You want to learn how to then take those substitutions and apply them to most any recipe.

00:14:46.004 --> 00:14:52.817
You need to be able to learn how to do this in a time frame that is not two hours in the kitchen.

00:14:52.817 --> 00:14:53.679
That's insane.

00:14:53.679 --> 00:15:00.644
We literally have people tell us when we tell them what we're doing, when we meet them for the first time oh, I tried the whole food plant-based.

00:15:00.644 --> 00:15:01.609
I can't do that.

00:15:01.609 --> 00:15:03.143
It takes two hours for every meal.

00:15:03.143 --> 00:15:04.424
It's absolutely ridiculous.

00:15:04.424 --> 00:15:05.547
Like I cannot, you're doing it wrong.

00:15:05.567 --> 00:15:06.207
You're doing it wrong.

00:15:06.347 --> 00:15:06.990
You're doing it wrong.

00:15:06.990 --> 00:15:07.650
How in the world?

00:15:07.650 --> 00:15:09.354
How in the world is it taking you two hours?

00:15:09.354 --> 00:15:14.962
No, because you don't know the power and plans method yet.

00:15:14.962 --> 00:15:22.009
But you're going to, and when you learn the step-by-step way to do it and make it truly rapid, delicious and simple, you will not believe how easy it is.

00:15:22.009 --> 00:15:25.206
But the key part is that mindset that we're going to do.

00:15:25.206 --> 00:15:34.524
At the beginning it is really, I think it's all key, but honestly, the mindset is going to blow you away, especially as a believer.

00:15:34.543 --> 00:15:38.133
Some of the ways that we're lied to on a regular basis that we don't even realize has been happening in our lives.

00:15:38.133 --> 00:15:46.100
So today, the one thing is recognizing that you should always be learning something new and growing.

00:15:46.100 --> 00:15:53.927
There is always something new to learn, so don't take the thought this is all new, it's going to be difficult.

00:15:53.927 --> 00:15:55.211
There's so much to learn.

00:15:55.211 --> 00:15:56.380
How will I ever?

00:15:56.380 --> 00:16:13.783
I know my experiences from the past and the enemy takes it and he gets you to start thinking about the things that are lies, and then you fuel the fire by thinking on it and thinking it's going to be difficult, not knowing that there are kids that have been doing this since they were six, literally by themselves.

00:16:13.783 --> 00:16:15.307
That's how simple it is.

00:16:15.307 --> 00:16:22.311
I promise you, if a six or seven-year-old or a 16-year-old boy can do this, you can do it and you can find joy in it.

00:16:22.311 --> 00:16:23.153
They love it.

00:16:23.153 --> 00:16:25.267
They don't miss the other things.

00:16:25.267 --> 00:16:34.753
Every time we find a new replacement, like these chicken nuggets, it's just one more thing that knocks down another domino of ever possibly considering returning.

00:16:34.753 --> 00:16:52.368
And when you mix that with how amazing your body feels, the energy level that you have, how you're healing from the inside out every day, instead of dealing with the root cause, instead of trying to manage symptoms with this medication on top of that medication, on top of that medication.

00:16:52.388 --> 00:16:58.009
Now, if you know me and Jared, you know he's a physician assistant and he specializes in lifestyle medicine.

00:16:58.009 --> 00:17:00.028
He is certified in lifestyle medicine.

00:17:00.028 --> 00:17:01.966
I'm a nurse with my four-year degree.

00:17:01.966 --> 00:17:12.351
I have a lot of nursing experience, but I'm also certified as an integrative nutrition health coach, and so, all that to say, we are not against medication.

00:17:12.351 --> 00:17:14.084
I want you to understand.

00:17:14.084 --> 00:17:16.089
We don't say don't take medication.

00:17:16.089 --> 00:17:18.028
There is a time and a place for medication.

00:17:18.028 --> 00:17:23.613
But what I can tell you is Jared still works with a full-time caseload of patients.

00:17:23.613 --> 00:17:25.969
Some of them have taken medications.

00:17:25.969 --> 00:17:31.593
But what I can also tell you is many of them have come off their medications under his supervision.

00:17:31.593 --> 00:17:37.332
Yes, you will still need to be supervised by your doctor if you're on medications when you eat whole plant foods.

00:17:37.420 --> 00:17:37.641
Why?

00:17:37.641 --> 00:17:51.354
Because your blood pressure can come down rather quickly to normal, eating the foods that God created your body to thrive on, for example, as we see in Genesis 1.29, or in Daniel, when you look at how he chose to eat when he wanted to be the strongest.

00:17:51.354 --> 00:17:54.269
Okay, so these are just things that we can see throughout the Word.

00:17:54.269 --> 00:17:58.391
These are the foods our body was created to be fueled on.

00:17:58.391 --> 00:18:07.348
So these foods actually get to the root cause of the problems, which is we're not getting the nutrients that we do need and we're getting a lot of things that we don't need.

00:18:07.348 --> 00:18:14.384
So when we eat things that sabotage our health, that are actually bad for our body, and we're not getting the right things, it's like this double whammy.

00:18:14.384 --> 00:18:21.413
So when you can get both right, I call that the one-two punch, like you've got a double whammy that's in your benefit.

00:18:21.974 --> 00:18:40.748
So it's going to help you so much to start getting the right mindset and then learning the way to make eating whole plant foods sustainable, because it's enjoyable, because it's simple and delicious and quick, it works with your schedule, it lights you up, so sunshine always.

00:18:40.748 --> 00:18:45.003
Remember, no matter what stage of the journey you're in, there's always something new to learn.

00:18:45.003 --> 00:18:48.455
And that's not a bad thing, it's actually a great thing.

00:18:48.455 --> 00:18:58.859
