00:00:00.599 --> 00:00:03.887
Hello friends, we are so happy to have you here with us today.

00:00:03.887 --> 00:00:08.134
We are lit up right now by what we are doing.

00:00:08.134 --> 00:00:15.522
I'm so thankful that God has shown us what he's shown us about whole food, plant-based living so that we can share it with you Right now inside Accelerator.

00:00:15.522 --> 00:00:17.126
Things have gotten cranked up.

00:00:17.126 --> 00:00:18.568
We're in our first week.

00:00:18.568 --> 00:00:20.393
It is going strong.

00:00:20.393 --> 00:00:21.294
It's exciting.

00:00:21.294 --> 00:00:28.567
We're inside Accelerator right now with our newest members getting them results, and this is the most exciting part of what we do.

00:00:28.567 --> 00:00:35.570
I love being here with you, sharing these things with you, because many of our members were just where you are now.

00:00:35.570 --> 00:00:37.213
They didn't know what to do.

00:00:37.213 --> 00:00:39.804
They're online looking for answers.

00:00:39.804 --> 00:00:42.790
They found the podcast They've binge listened to.

00:00:42.790 --> 00:00:48.085
All of them already started getting results before they started working with us inside Accelerator.

00:00:48.506 --> 00:00:53.000
I'm talking like cholesterol dropping from 280s to 218.

00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:54.942
Wrap your mind around that for a minute.

00:00:54.942 --> 00:00:57.689
Like in just a very short time.

00:00:57.689 --> 00:01:04.870
What in the world, like Jare and I were saying yesterday, what medication does that in that short of time or at all?

00:01:04.870 --> 00:01:08.846
God has put these foods here to help us heal.

00:01:08.927 --> 00:01:16.748
According to Genesis 129, they're the foods our bodies were originally created to thrive on, and you know that these are the foods that heal.

00:01:16.748 --> 00:01:21.168
If you're a mom or dad and you're sitting there feeding your child, what's the thing that you see?

00:01:21.168 --> 00:01:28.131
Moms and dads all the time feeding their child and saying eat this, eat this, take a bite of this honey, just take a bite of this.

00:01:28.131 --> 00:01:35.350
It's not candy, it's not processed food, it's not usually even meat, it's usually the fruits and the vegetables.

00:01:35.350 --> 00:01:37.141
It's because we know that.

00:01:37.141 --> 00:01:37.683
We know that.

00:01:37.683 --> 00:01:41.150
We know these are the foods that heal, even within ourselves.

00:01:41.150 --> 00:01:45.668
We just know, like grandma's told us, and we know if we've dug any into the research.

00:01:45.668 --> 00:01:50.189
This stuff has been out, the facts have been there for so long.

00:01:50.561 --> 00:01:53.146
But the hard thing is wrapping our mind around.

00:01:53.146 --> 00:01:57.474
How do you do this in the way that works?

00:01:57.474 --> 00:02:05.320
Maybe you've tried plant-based before and you're back here looking for an answer, like many of our other clients have done, where they just can't figure out how to make it stick.

00:02:05.320 --> 00:02:07.927
Well, thank God, we found the framework.

00:02:07.927 --> 00:02:12.485
When you have that framework, you'll know how to make this delicious and rapid and simple.

00:02:12.847 --> 00:02:14.411
But you have to get your mindset right.

00:02:14.411 --> 00:02:17.164
You need to know how to set up your environment and it sounds hard.

00:02:17.164 --> 00:02:18.769
It's like oh, that sounds so hard.

00:02:18.769 --> 00:02:21.704
It's not when you have someone to show you.

00:02:21.704 --> 00:02:25.111
It just blows my mind how simple this is.

00:02:25.111 --> 00:02:33.288
I'm making the videos and watching them back as I do voiceovers on some of the in the kitchens and I'm going this is crazy easy.

00:02:33.288 --> 00:02:38.072
We forget how easy it is because it's just what we do and we're in and out of the kitchen.

00:02:38.072 --> 00:02:41.680
We don't live our lives in the kitchen anymore, and I say this all the time.

00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:44.284
But if you're spending hours in the kitchen, don't feel bad.

00:02:44.284 --> 00:02:45.646
You just don't know what to do yet.

00:02:45.646 --> 00:02:46.709
But you can learn.

00:02:46.709 --> 00:02:48.031
It's not hard.

00:02:48.031 --> 00:02:49.753
It's just not what you're doing yet.

00:02:52.340 --> 00:02:53.843
But when it is, it's going to blow your mind when you see it.

00:02:53.843 --> 00:02:56.451
You also forget what it used to be like to prepare these foods in the old way.

00:02:56.451 --> 00:03:02.264
And I say the old way because we're still enjoying the foods that we used to eat, but just doing it in a different way.

00:03:02.264 --> 00:03:04.126
Now that actually loves our body back.

00:03:04.126 --> 00:03:08.248
So we're still enjoying the same flavors, the textures, just doing it in a better way.

00:03:08.248 --> 00:03:21.906
But you forget the cleanup before and after, disinfecting the grease, the long prep time and, like you said, if you're taking two hours to make a plant-based meal, there's an easier way, I say you're doing it wrong.

00:03:21.906 --> 00:03:26.549
I mean, you're making the meal, so you're obviously doing it right, but there is a better way.

00:03:26.949 --> 00:03:29.454
Oh my goodness, Talk about redeeming the time.

00:03:29.454 --> 00:03:39.164
Literally a whole module of accelerator is about redeeming the time those things that we've been taught and led to believe by our enemy.

00:03:39.164 --> 00:03:40.647
They're just not true.

00:03:40.647 --> 00:03:55.486
We don't have to do all those things like making the calories balance out and working out for insane amounts of time and never having the foods we like, and you're going to feel deprived and you need to just stop eating all your favorite things.

00:03:55.486 --> 00:03:56.389
It's hogwash.

00:03:56.389 --> 00:03:58.312
It's absolute insanity.

00:03:58.312 --> 00:04:00.364
You do not have to live that way.

00:04:00.745 --> 00:04:09.750
So listen to the podcast episodes, start implementing, step by step, one thing and another thing serious life changes happening for our listeners.

00:04:09.750 --> 00:04:14.126
We get emails often from you telling us you're not going to believe.

00:04:14.126 --> 00:04:21.670
This has totally changed my life, even people who've tried plant based before because we think it has to be something hard and complicated.

00:04:21.670 --> 00:04:38.404
You just need to know the steps and start taking them, and we've shared 325 after this episode, steps that you can take and way more than that, because inside each episode, you'll know we share way more than one step, but you're going to just choose that one step from each episode and implement it.

00:04:38.404 --> 00:04:40.529
Do not wait till you're in the course with us.

00:04:40.529 --> 00:04:56.182
Yes, we're going to take you by the hand and walk you through when you're ready, step by step, taking you in the kitchen, showing you what to make, how to make it, how simple it is, blowing your mind with how quick, how easy, how it will fit into your schedule and how you're going to love the foods.

00:04:56.182 --> 00:05:03.968
That is going to blow your mind more than anything Like how good this tastes, because, if you're like most people, you've tried some nasty plant-based recipes.

00:05:03.968 --> 00:05:09.406
It's true, they're out there, but I'm a little picky about what I do and I don't have time to be in the kitchen all the time.

00:05:09.406 --> 00:05:15.865
So when you get to the point, when you're ready, go to poweronplantscom forward slash accelerator, get on the wait list.

00:05:15.865 --> 00:05:19.790
If it's not open, it is going to be life-changing for you.

00:05:19.790 --> 00:05:33.324
We have walked people through the same exact steps and have walked people through these same exact steps and this is what we've seen blood pressure comes back to normal and, under the supervision of your medical provider, you're able to decrease and then get off of the medications.

00:05:33.324 --> 00:05:34.968
We've seen it happen so many times.

00:05:34.968 --> 00:05:42.802
And then cholesterol coming off, cholesterol medications, with us leading you and guiding you and the doctor saying Okay, now we can go down to this amount.

00:05:42.802 --> 00:05:44.345
Okay, now we can come off of it.

00:05:44.345 --> 00:05:45.927
I mean, this is what happens.

00:05:45.968 --> 00:05:58.944
Wrap your mind around this autoimmune disease, ibs, crohn's, rheumatoid yeah, rheumatoid arthritis gone, neck pain nine out of 10, gone, low energy and unable to live my God-given calling.

00:05:58.944 --> 00:06:00.867
Now that's my reality.

00:06:00.867 --> 00:06:08.009
I can live that calling because I wake up every morning with energy and I don't feel like I'm going to crash and burn when nighttime comes.

00:06:08.009 --> 00:06:10.288
I still have energy left over.

00:06:10.288 --> 00:06:16.634
That is the reality of learning how to get these foods into your life in the way that is sustainable.

00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:27.161
So go to powerimplantscom forward slash accelerator and get your name on the wait list or get inside if it's open, because it's going to change your life.

00:06:27.161 --> 00:06:34.324
We see it day after day, after beautiful day, and that wasn't our story for so long being in the medical profession.

00:06:34.324 --> 00:06:42.971
We were working with patients and clients and our desire was to help them to get well, but the problem was that we were working on managing diseases.

00:06:42.971 --> 00:06:47.379
That's what we were taught in school how do you manage this disease and manage that disease?

00:06:47.379 --> 00:06:58.833
And I'll never forget the time Jared came home from a conference and he said I'm just so over it, like I was sitting there listening to this doctor and he was talking about how we reduce blood pressure.

00:06:59.521 --> 00:07:05.802
They were talking about what type of medications to use for what type of high blood pressure or what level of blood pressure.

00:07:05.802 --> 00:07:08.427
So if it's above this amount, you use these medications.

00:07:08.427 --> 00:07:17.704
And I just felt like we're always just trying to get a better fire extinguisher, never really looking at what was causing the fire, never looking at the root issue.

00:07:17.704 --> 00:07:20.290
And this was even before I learned of lifestyle medicine.

00:07:20.839 --> 00:07:39.824
But when we started digging into the research and getting our own results and then learning about this body of evidence that has been there for so long about how these are the life-giving foods, and we started implementing those things piece by piece, which is exactly what we show you how to do, we see change.

00:07:39.824 --> 00:07:40.928
We got change.

00:07:40.928 --> 00:07:49.572
We got our lives back and that's what we see happening for those of you who are already doing this and taking that point by point that we're sharing in the podcast.

00:07:49.572 --> 00:07:54.007
And then you come into accelerator with us and the results are just through the roof.

00:07:54.007 --> 00:07:56.473
All these things start happening.

00:07:56.473 --> 00:07:57.925
You start implementing.

00:07:57.925 --> 00:08:02.461
You're going oh man, that really is an easy recipe and I've never tried that one before.

00:08:02.461 --> 00:08:03.584
And now you can see it.

00:08:03.584 --> 00:08:04.966
You can see it walked out.

00:08:04.966 --> 00:08:14.704
You get the tools for saving time and making it work with your life and you're going this is easier than anything I've ever done before and all of a sudden, your body starts healing, naturally.

00:08:15.144 --> 00:08:23.007
And I think people hear about these results and they want it and they believe that this is the way, because they join us and enter into doing this.

00:08:23.007 --> 00:08:27.968
But when it actually happens to them, it's like it's a complete surprise to them, right?

00:08:27.968 --> 00:08:35.892
I mean a very, very pleasant surprise, and I think they almost come into it with the hope, but not necessarily realizing, yes, this will happen.

00:08:35.892 --> 00:08:41.086
And then, when it does, it's like this miracle for them and they're ecstatic about it.

00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:48.182
So we all want to feel great, Everybody wants to feel great.

00:08:48.182 --> 00:08:58.957
But if you're like where we were years ago, we hit a wall with our health and as we got older we started hitting more walls with our health and therefore we started believing the lie that it was just because we were just getting older.

00:08:58.957 --> 00:09:05.888
I mean, I seem to recall we were even told those things oh it's just, you're just getting older.

00:09:05.888 --> 00:09:07.144
Oh, this is just how it is.

00:09:07.144 --> 00:09:08.509
No, it's not.

00:09:08.780 --> 00:09:13.866
And I hear that from my patients all the time, people that are in their 40s.

00:09:13.866 --> 00:09:15.265
Well, I'm just getting older.

00:09:15.265 --> 00:09:21.730
Look, if you're in your 40s you should not be hurting, and I believe even in your 90s you should not be hurting.

00:09:21.730 --> 00:09:27.164
And I tell people I do not subscribe to that ideology Aging is not a disease process.

00:09:27.164 --> 00:09:35.091
Yes, we get older, but it's not a disease and it doesn't mean that you should hurt or that you should have these chronic quote unquote chronic diseases.

00:09:35.541 --> 00:09:39.892
But you find yourself in this situation where you think I've just got to get rid of this.

00:09:39.892 --> 00:09:40.760
Like, what if I could?

00:09:40.760 --> 00:09:43.105
Well, first of all, sometimes you don't even realize you can.

00:09:43.105 --> 00:09:45.269
So we're here to tell you you can.

00:09:45.269 --> 00:09:48.354
You can get beyond this, it can get better.

00:09:48.354 --> 00:09:50.865
First, the first step is you've got to realize you can.

00:09:50.865 --> 00:09:57.528
But then, once you realize you can and you want to get better, are you willing to do it?

00:09:58.049 --> 00:09:59.232
Are you willing to do what it takes?

00:09:59.232 --> 00:10:01.024
At that point you start looking for answers.

00:10:01.024 --> 00:10:04.150
Then are you willing to do what it takes?

00:10:04.370 --> 00:10:06.201
And I see this many times.

00:10:06.363 --> 00:10:29.289
I've noticed a bit of an uptick in this with my patients when talking with them, because they'll mention, when we first meet, about different things that they have, or maybe even diseases that family members have lupus, high blood pressure, diabetes and I'll mention in about lifestyle medicine and a whole few plant-based diet and I've noticed that there's a certain reservation in their look about the answer that I'm giving.

00:10:29.931 --> 00:10:47.424
And on this side of things, I've been practicing lifestyle medicine for quite some time now, and during that I have seen more and more research and just more and more health benefits in the different foods that we eat, and so I see this on my end and I've seen disease processes heal that were considered just quote-unquote chronic.

00:10:47.424 --> 00:11:01.568
But they don't know, and I can see where they're influenced by a lifetime of the propaganda that we've been getting about you must have meat, you must have dairy, you must have eggs for calcium protein, whatever else.

00:11:01.568 --> 00:11:08.025
And so then, when they hear me say plant-based, I know from my perspective that this is the answer that they need.

00:11:08.025 --> 00:11:20.890
I can see it on their face, though this is not necessarily the answer that they want, and I even had one patient say but what about my cheeseburgers and I tell them I'm not going to take your cheeseburger away from you.

00:11:20.890 --> 00:11:22.967
That is a choice you have to make.

00:11:22.967 --> 00:11:32.092
I am not going to take anything away from you, but I do know that this way of living can yield the results that you want.

00:11:32.472 --> 00:11:36.547
Yes, and the deprivation mentality has been so woven in.

00:11:36.547 --> 00:11:38.972
It's another one of those lies that we believe.

00:11:38.972 --> 00:11:40.605
Oh well, what about my cheese?

00:11:40.605 --> 00:11:43.015
I mean, for me it was like cheeseburger cheese.

00:11:43.015 --> 00:11:45.042
Anything with cheese, you add cheese to it.

00:11:45.042 --> 00:11:50.820
Cheeseburger cheese, potatoes, cheesy soups, cheesy, this cheesy that we still eat our cheesy things.

00:11:51.001 --> 00:11:52.200
Extra cheese on cheese pizza.

00:11:52.681 --> 00:11:57.572
But think about the lie that people believe that you can't have.

00:11:57.572 --> 00:11:59.025
What about my cheeseburger?

00:11:59.025 --> 00:12:03.772
What he's saying there is I can't have cheeseburgers anymore if I eat this way.

00:12:03.772 --> 00:12:07.927
He doesn't understand that he can't have cheeseburgers anymore if I eat this way.

00:12:07.927 --> 00:12:09.212
He doesn't understand that he can still have cheeseburgers.

00:12:09.212 --> 00:12:10.216
He's just going to have them in a different way.

00:12:10.216 --> 00:12:13.767
That's going to love his body back, but he'll still like the flavors of them.

00:12:13.767 --> 00:12:22.442
You've got to wrap your mind around the fact that all the things that you love are not going to be taken away, and I think that's why we don't see so much reservation.

00:12:22.442 --> 00:12:28.153
By the time we start working with you inside accelerator, you don't see the reservation anymore.

00:12:28.192 --> 00:12:42.532
You're just like I'm here, let's do this you start seeing and understanding the possibilities right, and that's why listening the podcast is so good, because you're getting specific, actionable steps that you can start taking and getting results and seeing hey, this could really work for me.

00:12:42.532 --> 00:12:43.596
Now I need to know, step by step, how do I do this.

00:12:43.596 --> 00:12:43.937
Yeah, I've for me.

00:12:43.937 --> 00:12:46.183
Now I need to know, step by step, how do I do this.

00:12:46.183 --> 00:12:49.480
Yeah, I've gotten some great recipes I've been cooking in Anita's cookbook.

00:12:49.480 --> 00:12:58.250
Oh, now I see that the food can actually taste good and oh, I see that can have seven ingredients or less and many times beyond the table within 15 minutes.

00:12:58.250 --> 00:13:00.787
I mean, it really is mind blowing until you experience it.

00:13:00.787 --> 00:13:07.606
But you start making things like the date night Alfredo and the creamy tomato soup and you're going this is crazy.

00:13:07.868 --> 00:13:13.270
And the next step of what you were saying is oh, and I see my cholesterol dropped 70 points in just a few weeks.

00:13:13.480 --> 00:13:14.666
Right, that's a no brainer.

00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:17.009
Now you're seeing the proof in it.

00:13:17.009 --> 00:13:24.427
But I see so many people on the beginning where they just don't think this is possible or they're just so ingrained with the way that I used to eat.

00:13:24.427 --> 00:13:26.030
And I get it because you know what.

00:13:26.030 --> 00:13:32.049
You know, you're used to those foods and you do like them, even though they don't necessarily like you.

00:13:32.049 --> 00:13:40.639
You do like them, you know them and you've got all those years of again the advertising and the messaging of you need this for optimal health.

00:13:40.639 --> 00:13:49.414
If somebody comes along and says that message may not be entirely accurate and that there is a better way, it may be a little bit hard to believe, but it's true.

00:13:49.921 --> 00:13:56.614
So what you're saying is the answer that you need isn't always the answer that you want.

00:13:57.179 --> 00:13:57.600
Correct.

00:13:57.600 --> 00:14:15.967
But what you need to do is open your mind just a little and listen to the evidence, listen to our podcast and just get beyond that cursory no, no, I can't do that, because I think that's where so many people stop and it's like we say don't say I can't, say how can I?

00:14:15.967 --> 00:14:25.568
But I think a lot of people again, they've lived the way that they live, they hear this and they just boom, say I can't, without any realization.

00:14:25.568 --> 00:14:32.225
So if you're in that boat, if you're listening to me right now and you're in that boat, it is possible, we've seen it.

00:14:32.700 --> 00:14:43.740
We've experienced it in our own lives and we see clients experience it on the daily, freed from things you were told that you'd have for a lifetime, that you'd be stuck with Like.

00:14:43.740 --> 00:14:45.230
I had interstitial cystitis.

00:14:45.230 --> 00:14:45.913
I was told I'd have for a lifetime, that you'd be stuck with Like I had interstitial cystitis.

00:14:45.913 --> 00:14:47.846
I was told I'd have it my entire life.

00:14:47.846 --> 00:14:49.427
It's a terrible bladder disease.

00:14:49.427 --> 00:14:55.428
I was put on medication for it and told I would be on that for life, that I would have to deal with it, that it would be a problem.

00:14:55.428 --> 00:15:01.126
I mean, if you've ever had a urinary tract infection, imagine somebody telling you You're going to be having this for life.

00:15:01.126 --> 00:15:07.535
They don't know what causes it, you're going to need to take medications and this is just what you have and it's how it is.

00:15:08.022 --> 00:15:09.559
I had fibrocystic breast disease.

00:15:09.559 --> 00:15:11.085
I was told I would have it for life.

00:15:11.085 --> 00:15:12.308
The lumps are gone.

00:15:12.308 --> 00:15:17.072
Wrap your mind around it, around the diagnosis you have no matter what it is.

00:15:17.072 --> 00:15:27.061
Wrap your mind around someone coming up to you and saying there is a way that you can reverse this, halt it and then possibly reverse it.

00:15:27.061 --> 00:15:30.914
This is highly likely and you know the answer is there.

00:15:30.914 --> 00:15:39.384
But then you find out the answer is whole plant foods and you say, oh well, maybe I don't like that answer so much I'd have to give up my whatever it is for you.

00:15:39.583 --> 00:15:40.807
Obviously, for me it was dairy.

00:15:40.807 --> 00:15:41.769
What is it for you?

00:15:41.769 --> 00:15:43.995
What is it that you would say I have to give up?

00:15:43.995 --> 00:15:49.070
My many women think it's their husband's desserts, like my husband's, sick and overweight, and he doesn't feel good because dessert.

00:15:49.070 --> 00:15:50.385
No, we eat desserts.

00:15:50.385 --> 00:15:57.269
We just eat them in a different way and we still reverse disease and we still have more energy than we've ever had in our 50s.

00:15:57.269 --> 00:16:05.923
We get these mindsets of things that are just crazy and we don't like the answer.

00:16:05.923 --> 00:16:07.009
Why do you think you wouldn't like that answer?

00:16:07.009 --> 00:16:07.633
To eat whole plant foods?

00:16:07.633 --> 00:16:08.860
Well, I'm not going to be able to eat the foods I like.

00:16:09.299 --> 00:16:13.611
And many times they have no idea what's involved with whole food, plant-based.

00:16:13.611 --> 00:16:19.251
I think they just have this idea of just nasty tasting lettuce, meal after meal after meal.

00:16:19.251 --> 00:16:23.405
I'll even share with my patients some of the things that we eat, and they're kind of surprised by that.

00:16:23.885 --> 00:16:26.169
But I want you to think about for you.

00:16:26.169 --> 00:16:33.570
What is that food or the couple of foods that you say, no, I just couldn't do that because I love my blah blah blah.

00:16:33.570 --> 00:16:51.759
I'd have to give up this, whatever that thing is, and then ask yourself what does that tell you about that thing that it's more valuable to you than feeling good, being able to actually feel your best, being able to live longer and live stronger and better.

00:16:52.160 --> 00:16:57.711
I think the next question then is why do you have that reaction to that food?

00:16:58.273 --> 00:16:58.494
Right.

00:16:58.679 --> 00:17:04.882
Because there's nothing plant-based that we eat that if I found out something negative about it that I couldn't leave.

00:17:05.343 --> 00:17:08.529
Because it doesn't have the hold on you like those other foods?

00:17:08.529 --> 00:17:14.641
Like you have the casein in the dairy, which we know hits the morphine receptors and causes the calf to come back to the cow.

00:17:15.061 --> 00:17:18.167
But in us it creates more of an addictiveness to it.

00:17:18.869 --> 00:17:27.669
Right, and meat has those type of properties because it's extremely fatty and we just have grown up on it and sometimes it's the memories associated with it.

00:17:27.669 --> 00:17:33.306
But whatever you're thinking about, I want you to think about what tastes better than feeling good feels to me.

00:17:33.306 --> 00:17:36.786
But then I don't even like that question and I'm going to tell you why.

00:17:36.786 --> 00:17:43.806
It sounds great, it sounds all deep, but think about this what tastes better than feeling good feels?

00:17:43.806 --> 00:17:50.107
That's kind of like saying, well, whole plant foods aren't going to taste good, but that's okay, because I mean, you're going to feel great.

00:17:50.107 --> 00:18:00.444
No, whole plant foods are going to taste great when you know how to prepare them in the way that loves your body back and in the way that the flavors go together well, just like how you prepare your foods.

00:18:00.444 --> 00:18:09.871
Now You'll learn how to get those seasonings and spices and sauces in the right combinations and before you know it you'll literally be writing your own recipes.

00:18:09.940 --> 00:18:11.720
And I'm not saying you're going to become a recipe author.

00:18:11.720 --> 00:18:14.589
You probably have no desire to do that.

00:18:14.589 --> 00:18:21.871
But once you have the accelerator formula, you can look at most any recipe and come up with and put together meals without even needing a recipe.

00:18:21.871 --> 00:18:23.365
Think about how freeing that would be.

00:18:23.365 --> 00:18:27.625
Not only do I feel amazing, I love how I eat.

00:18:27.625 --> 00:18:29.108
I love this food.

00:18:29.108 --> 00:18:29.950
We hear it all the time.

00:18:29.950 --> 00:18:31.814
It's mind-blowing to me.

00:18:31.814 --> 00:18:36.021
I've tried it before and I couldn't stick with it because the foods weren't exciting and it didn't taste good.

00:18:36.021 --> 00:18:47.223
And now you're eating the right recipes and you're finding your new favorites and you're keeping the list, like I show you how to do, and before long you're freed from that thought of deprivation.

00:18:47.223 --> 00:18:50.290
It's just not an issue anymore, it's a non-issue.

00:18:50.811 --> 00:18:53.285
With this, you truly do get the best of both worlds.

00:18:53.285 --> 00:18:57.663
And while we're talking right now, I just had kind of a biblical parallel there.

00:18:57.663 --> 00:19:02.854
In our walk with God, we hear if we lose our life, we will gain it.

00:19:02.854 --> 00:19:04.340
Here, if we lose our life, we will gain it.

00:19:04.340 --> 00:19:09.666
So if we give up our lives to ourselves and live for the Father, we actually gain our lives.

00:19:10.387 --> 00:19:27.505
If you give up these foods, realizing that these are actually harming you, and you go to those plant foods, the one that God gave us, he created these foods for us in the beginning, in the first place, so our bodies could thrive, because they're the ones that have all the things that our bodies need in them.

00:19:28.000 --> 00:19:35.166
So if we give up the other foods and then gain these foods that were the original for us, then we gain the life.

00:19:35.641 --> 00:19:39.432
But in our spiritual walk the enemy convinces us that will be deprivation.

00:19:39.432 --> 00:19:45.113
Walking in the spirit in that way will keep you from something good that you love and you want.

00:19:45.113 --> 00:19:49.386
And you're going to have to give this thing up and it's the same lie.

00:19:49.386 --> 00:19:51.603
That is genius, what you just came up with, right?

00:19:51.623 --> 00:19:51.723
there.

00:19:51.723 --> 00:19:52.846
That's a Holy Spirit revelation.

00:19:52.846 --> 00:19:54.230
It was, it was God inspired.

00:19:54.480 --> 00:19:56.587
That is what this whole episode is about now.

00:19:56.587 --> 00:19:58.346
I want you to think about that.

00:19:58.346 --> 00:20:04.693
Just wrap your mind around how you have been deceived by the enemy in the things of the spirit.

00:20:04.693 --> 00:20:08.691
The way he does his deception is the same way in what we eat.

00:20:08.691 --> 00:20:12.570
It's the same way in so many different areas.

00:20:12.570 --> 00:20:16.628
There's nothing new under the sun, and he's using the same sneaky, tricky methods.

00:20:17.080 --> 00:20:19.269
Same playbook, maybe just a different ball field.

00:20:19.519 --> 00:20:21.267
The same lies.

00:20:21.267 --> 00:20:28.284
It's a lie that is keeping you stuck thinking you're going to be deprived and you can't have this and you can't have that thing.

00:20:28.284 --> 00:20:30.430
And so you hold on to that thing with dear might.

00:20:30.430 --> 00:20:34.208
So you hold on to that thing with all your might and it becomes an idol.

00:20:34.208 --> 00:20:35.250
It becomes an idol.

00:20:35.250 --> 00:20:40.442
It's the thing that is holding you back, because you think it's so good you can't give it up.

00:20:40.644 --> 00:20:41.944
What is that thing for you?

00:20:41.944 --> 00:20:54.421
Think about what it is and learn how to replace it with the thing that is going to light up your taste buds just as much as your old favorite, but it loves your body back.

00:20:54.421 --> 00:21:01.439
And when you do that, you're going to start seeing truth, glimpses of the truth, that those old things were holding you back.

00:21:01.439 --> 00:21:07.415
Those weren't the things that you actually love, those weren't the things that you call good in the past.

00:21:07.415 --> 00:21:13.366
And she's doing air quotes for good.

00:21:13.366 --> 00:21:17.738
Yeah, because we use our words, that God gave us, our language, the beautiful gift of language he gave us, to spout lies that keep us stuck.

00:21:17.738 --> 00:21:25.334
The enemy has a saying these things, these foods are quote good.

00:21:25.334 --> 00:21:27.497
Oh, this tastes so good.

00:21:27.497 --> 00:21:29.599
Oh, let's go eat there, it's so good.

00:21:29.599 --> 00:21:37.309
But yet that's the very thing that's keeping you stuck in your health struggle, but we're proclaiming it good.

00:21:37.309 --> 00:21:38.733
Wrap your mind around.

00:21:38.733 --> 00:21:40.336
What is that food for you?

00:21:40.565 --> 00:21:41.653
That's exactly what I was thinking.

00:21:41.653 --> 00:21:42.803
Wrap your mind around that.

00:21:44.186 --> 00:21:56.309
What are the foods for you that the enemy is using to keep you stuck, those lies of the enemy that have kept you stuck in eating things that are destructive to your body and that have got you on this path.

00:21:56.309 --> 00:21:59.297
And then he makes you think that it's not really the foods.

00:21:59.297 --> 00:22:00.607
It's not these foods.

00:22:00.607 --> 00:22:06.330
These foods are actually good for you, and you start hearing things about how they're good for you and you know all all along, they're not.

00:22:07.031 --> 00:22:21.036
Then when you hear somebody coming with a message like what we have, then you fight against that message Like no, no, no, no, I'm supposed to eat meat protein, never minding the original source of all the amino acids that are in that meat come from a plant.

00:22:21.036 --> 00:22:23.385
I know but we're not taught that.

00:22:23.885 --> 00:22:26.548
It is mind boggling, but it shouldn't be.

00:22:26.548 --> 00:22:31.191
We have an enemy who's very sneaky, and he's sneaky in many, many areas.

00:22:31.191 --> 00:22:45.220
If he can keep you feeling sick and exhausted, constantly searching Google trying to figure out how to heal from this and heal from that and get better and feel better and all these things and there's so many lies on there.

00:22:45.220 --> 00:22:46.480
It's so overwhelming.

00:22:47.121 --> 00:22:56.218
And you're happily eating the foods that are keeping you stuck and you're wanting those foods, thinking they're what is going to optimize your health.

00:22:56.218 --> 00:23:04.272
I mean, it's such a brilliant deception, very evil, very diabolical, but it's a brilliant deception and we're here to break that.

00:23:04.272 --> 00:23:05.891
We're here to bust those lies.

00:23:11.924 --> 00:23:12.247
So what is that?

00:23:12.247 --> 00:23:16.307
One thing that's had a hold on you that you proclaimed as good over your life that you are going to say no more, no more.

00:23:16.307 --> 00:23:17.813
Is that thing going to have a hold on me?

00:23:17.813 --> 00:23:26.455
No more am I going to have to eat cheese because I love it and it's so great and I know all about the different kinds, and I have to have sour cream on everything.

00:23:26.455 --> 00:23:35.550
It may not be dairy for you, it may be meat, it may be some other food that just has a hold on you that you know is not for your good.

00:23:35.550 --> 00:23:42.428
Find a way to make that dish or that thing like the guy Jared was talking to his client cheeseburgers.

00:23:42.428 --> 00:23:47.895
Find a way to make a cheesy burger that you like.

00:23:47.895 --> 00:23:52.568
You may go and try these plant-based pre-made burgers and they taste like crap.

00:23:52.568 --> 00:23:53.351
I'm just gonna be honest.

00:23:53.351 --> 00:23:54.753
They do not taste good.

00:23:54.753 --> 00:23:57.067
Turn it over and read the ingredients label.

00:23:57.067 --> 00:23:58.631
It's not good for you.

00:23:58.631 --> 00:24:05.029
So I'm not saying start with vegan junk food, but if that's how you can transition in the only way, then do it it.

00:24:05.069 --> 00:24:05.589
Start there.

00:24:05.790 --> 00:24:09.435
But I don't think that you're going to find that those foods taste good.

00:24:09.435 --> 00:24:13.020
Get the Happy Burger inside the Power on Plants cookbook.

00:24:13.020 --> 00:24:15.088
That's a great place to start with a burger.

00:24:15.088 --> 00:24:17.555
Get the Vellnita cheese recipe.

00:24:17.555 --> 00:24:19.566
Get the nacho cheese recipe.

00:24:19.566 --> 00:24:21.631
Start getting cheesy, creamy things.

00:24:21.631 --> 00:24:23.334
Eat some Alfredo.

00:24:23.334 --> 00:24:24.396
If you do nothing else.

00:24:24.396 --> 00:24:32.037
If you like Alfredo pasta, get the Power on Plants cookbook and try the date night fettuccine Alfredo recipe.

00:24:32.377 --> 00:24:33.159
People love it.

00:24:33.285 --> 00:24:34.651
It'll blow your mind.

00:24:34.785 --> 00:24:36.833
I think that's the most favorite recipe we hear.

00:24:37.265 --> 00:24:37.866
It's so good.

00:24:37.866 --> 00:24:40.393
And if you think, oh, it's not cheesy enough, add a little more salt.

00:24:40.393 --> 00:24:43.445
Because you're used to salty, salty food, add a little more salt.

00:24:43.445 --> 00:24:46.170
You're going to back off on that over time and your body won't need it.

00:24:46.170 --> 00:24:50.196
But salt can make a big difference, because cheese is very salty.

00:24:50.196 --> 00:24:51.838
It's very salty.

00:24:51.838 --> 00:24:57.221
I don't put as much salt in my recipes, but that's one way you can make it more quote cheesy.

00:24:57.221 --> 00:25:01.848
But you're going to like it and you're going to say you know, this is so close.

00:25:01.848 --> 00:25:05.132
If you don't say it's identical, you're going to say this is so close.

00:25:05.132 --> 00:25:08.476
I cannot believe this doesn't have cheese in it and it's just going to blow your mind.

00:25:08.957 --> 00:25:10.838
And it's going to blow your mind at how fast it is.

00:25:11.459 --> 00:25:16.325
Literally it's a couple of ingredients in a blender, Five minutes maybe Done.

00:25:16.566 --> 00:25:19.074
It takes longer to boil the noodles than it does to make the sauce.

00:25:19.325 --> 00:25:22.635
Takes longer to wash the blender than it does to make the sauce.

00:25:22.635 --> 00:25:29.830
I mean, we're talking dinner on the table in 15 minutes.

00:25:29.830 --> 00:25:30.192
It's just insane.

00:25:30.192 --> 00:25:33.326
And we've been told all these lies like it's hard, it takes a long time, it doesn't taste good, I'm gonna have to be deprived.

00:25:33.326 --> 00:25:38.813
I've got to push myself away from the table even if I'm still hungry and all these crazy things.

00:25:38.813 --> 00:25:42.027
I got to count calories and keep up with points and grams and macros and macros.

00:25:42.027 --> 00:25:43.671
And what if you're not trying to lose weight?

00:25:43.671 --> 00:25:45.173
Oh, I'm just going to have this forever.

00:25:45.173 --> 00:25:46.636
And I could just go on and on.

00:25:46.636 --> 00:25:47.499
There's so many lies.

00:25:47.499 --> 00:25:49.393

00:25:57.612 --> 00:25:59.412
What are the things you proclaimed as good?

00:25:59.412 --> 00:26:01.906
What are the things you could never stop eating?

00:26:01.906 --> 00:26:04.190
Find the replacements.

00:26:04.190 --> 00:26:05.830
Quit telling yourself I just got to stop that.

00:26:05.830 --> 00:26:07.593
That's never going to work.

00:26:07.593 --> 00:26:09.934
Never going to work.

00:26:09.934 --> 00:26:12.938
Don't say I just got to stop, that you don't.

00:26:12.938 --> 00:26:16.240
Don't let your doctor tell you well, you just got to stop eating that your favorite food.

00:26:16.240 --> 00:26:17.501
It's ridiculous.

00:26:18.425 --> 00:26:24.556
Get a replacement in there that you love, find it and then drop the other thing and move to the next thing.

00:26:24.556 --> 00:26:33.288
What's the next thing that has a hold on me?

00:26:33.288 --> 00:26:35.817
Drop that next thing and before long you're going to be living the free life, the energized life, the vibrant, active life.

00:26:35.817 --> 00:26:38.646
You're going to have ideas because your vessels are becoming unclogged.

00:26:38.646 --> 00:26:41.296
You're getting blood flow to your brain now.

00:26:41.296 --> 00:26:44.666
You're going to have ideas that you didn't have before.

00:26:44.666 --> 00:26:46.853
You have energy to start the business.

00:26:46.893 --> 00:26:57.035
We've seen multiple times people start businesses who are working with us we love working with Christian business people why they can't figure out, why they can't get their business to the next level.

00:26:57.035 --> 00:27:01.355
They have all these ideas and things they want to do, but they don't have the energy to do it.

00:27:01.355 --> 00:27:03.188
They don't feel good and you don't understand.

00:27:03.188 --> 00:27:21.079
If you don't take care of your body, you can't even have the level of ideas or the ability to walk those ideas out and just taking the step today of figuring out what has had a hold on you and starting to find your new favorites and getting rid of those things, not saying I can't have them anymore.

00:27:21.079 --> 00:27:22.631
You're going to still have them.

00:27:22.631 --> 00:27:24.792
You're just going to have them in a different way.

00:27:25.665 --> 00:27:29.887
And just realize, the answer you need may not always be the answer you want.

00:27:29.887 --> 00:27:37.672
Until you do, until you do Because once you start tasting this food, you're going to think why did I resist this so much?

00:27:37.672 --> 00:27:39.257
Why did I wait so long?

00:27:39.664 --> 00:27:41.169
