Hey sister, welcome to the Power on Plants podcast.
00:00:04.051 --> 00:00:09.393
Are you tired of staring into the fridge wondering what to eat so you can just feel better?
00:00:09.393 --> 00:00:14.791
Do you want to avoid spending hours in the kitchen making complicated meals in the name of health?
00:00:14.791 --> 00:00:21.053
Would you love to leave fatigue behind and finally have the energy to do all the things you want to do?
00:00:21.053 --> 00:00:32.944
Hi, we're Jared and Anita Roussel, christ followers, healthcare professionals, parents of four and big fans of great tasting food.
00:00:32.963 --> 00:00:40.970
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.
00:00:40.970 --> 00:00:48.185
So we dug into the research and created our secret nutritional weapon sustainable plant-based living.
00:00:48.185 --> 00:00:51.972
The truth is, you can eat more whole plant foods and it's not hard.
00:00:51.972 --> 00:00:53.542
You just need the way.
00:00:53.542 --> 00:00:57.151
That's realistic and delicious, so you never feel deprived.
00:00:57.151 --> 00:01:05.367
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.
00:01:05.780 --> 00:01:10.652
So grab your favorite plant-based cup of happy pop in those earbuds and let's get started.
00:01:10.652 --> 00:01:13.405
Hey there, sunshine, welcome back.
00:01:13.405 --> 00:01:19.269
We are so glad to have you joining us today and if you're new, this is the perfect time to join in, because you have got to hear this.
00:01:19.269 --> 00:01:30.138
Jared and I were just having this conversation about him talking with his patients, and he's noticed something that he hears over and over again from them that can be a hang-up for you in your life.
00:01:30.138 --> 00:01:32.203
We know because we've been there before.
00:01:32.203 --> 00:01:42.153
We've been in the exact same place, but he's had this revelation of how this is something that is holding many people back in your health and you don't even realize it.
00:01:42.153 --> 00:01:50.373
So I wanted him to share with you today what a patient said to him and how he then noticed the majority of his patients are saying this.
00:01:50.373 --> 00:01:53.001
He hears it day after day.
00:01:53.260 --> 00:02:11.811
So Anita and I were just sitting here listening to scripture, talking about just health and how God wants us to live a vibrant life, and I started talking to her about a patient that I saw yesterday, guy 38 years old, and he mentions in the visit that we have that I'm just old, I'm just going to hurt.
00:02:11.811 --> 00:02:16.395
He had some aches and pains around his body, but he said I'm old and I just laughed at him.
00:02:16.395 --> 00:02:19.137
I said you're 38 years old, I'm 53.
00:02:19.137 --> 00:02:22.883
I don't have aches and pains all over my body.
00:02:22.903 --> 00:02:35.987
Aging is not a disease and I'm seeing that more and more with people that are various different ages typically not at 20, but getting into the 30s where they just resign themselves to the fact that I'm just getting old.
00:02:35.987 --> 00:02:40.783
This is just how it is and I tell them again aging is not a disease.
00:02:40.783 --> 00:02:55.350
What's the problem is the things that we're doing that cause the aches and the pains and the disease, and we see so many diseases that are quote unquote chronic, but they're only chronic because we keep doing the things that make this problem happen.
00:02:55.350 --> 00:02:56.641
We don't stop it.
00:02:56.641 --> 00:03:04.703
We still eat the way that we eat and still engage in the lifestyle stuff that we do that keeps us sick, that keeps it going.
00:03:05.143 --> 00:03:13.931
And when those sicknesses and symptoms come, then we come into alignment with it in our beliefs by saying oh well, it's just my genes, oh well, it's just my aging.
00:03:13.931 --> 00:03:17.574
And so we start to believe that aging is a disease.
00:03:17.574 --> 00:03:18.594
Well, this is just what happens.
00:03:18.594 --> 00:03:19.997
When you get old, you get high blood pressure.
00:03:19.997 --> 00:03:22.741
When you get old, you get high cholesterol.
00:03:22.741 --> 00:03:24.307
As you get older, have you ever had those thoughts go through your mind?
00:03:24.307 --> 00:03:25.352
Oh, I'm just getting older.
00:03:25.551 --> 00:03:27.138
I mean, I just have high blood pressure.
00:03:27.419 --> 00:03:29.145
Yeah, or I ache in the mornings when I get up.
00:03:29.145 --> 00:03:29.986
That's just normal.
00:03:29.986 --> 00:03:31.501
That's just what happens when you get older.
00:03:31.501 --> 00:03:34.591
I just don't have the energy I used to have, like when I was young, because I'm older.
00:03:34.759 --> 00:03:35.401
And we were there.
00:03:35.401 --> 00:03:36.723
We know exactly what it's like.
00:03:36.723 --> 00:03:38.985
We experienced that when we my shoulders, my hips, nothing aches.
00:03:38.985 --> 00:03:40.187
When I get up, no me either.
00:03:45.620 --> 00:03:50.027
I have no aches and pains, I don't have the low energy I used to have either.
00:03:50.027 --> 00:03:52.907
My energy was that and I just thought, okay, this just happens.
00:03:52.907 --> 00:03:55.269
You know, people in my family dealt with these things.
00:03:55.269 --> 00:03:59.530
They dealt with low energy, they dealt with autoimmune diseases.
00:03:59.530 --> 00:04:03.747
They went through these crazy diagnosis and you start believing you're going to have those things too.
00:04:03.747 --> 00:04:09.443
Just because you're their family there, you've got their genes, and so then the doctor tells you it's the genetic kind.
00:04:09.502 --> 00:04:15.456
And all of a sudden you bring your thoughts and life into agreement with the fact that you have the genetic kind and you start thinking I have the genetic kind.
00:04:15.456 --> 00:04:17.607
And then you start saying I have the genetic kind.
00:04:17.607 --> 00:04:26.884
And then you start living like you have the genetic kind and looking up all the things that the genetic kind will bring to you and all of a sudden you find it thriving in your life and we wonder why.
00:04:26.884 --> 00:04:36.259
And it's like we don't stop doing those things that were being done by our family members that could have brought those things into being, those lifestyle things that need to be changed.
00:04:36.259 --> 00:04:47.668
But we also are bringing ourselves into agreement and alignment with our enemy, who comes to steal, kill and destroy from us by bringing our thoughts into alignment with the fact that, oh well, it's just because you're getting older.
00:04:47.668 --> 00:04:50.247
You're just getting older, you're just getting older, so you're sick.
00:04:50.247 --> 00:04:57.951
So we're bringing our thoughts into alignment with what the enemy wants for us, which is for us to be stolen from, killed and destroyed.
00:04:57.951 --> 00:05:04.151
And God says I came to bring you life, and not only bring you life here and now, and that's not just spiritual life.
00:05:04.151 --> 00:05:06.944
He also wants to bring our bodies back to life.
00:05:06.944 --> 00:05:08.887
He does not want us to live sick.
00:05:08.887 --> 00:05:10.312
Did Yeshua live sick?
00:05:10.312 --> 00:05:12.685
Did he ever walk up to somebody and say you know what?
00:05:12.685 --> 00:05:16.444
I'm going to leave you sick because you're going to learn something from this sickness.
00:05:16.444 --> 00:05:21.386
Okay, so just start wrapping your mind around and looking at what would Yeshua do?
00:05:21.386 --> 00:05:23.050
I mean, that was a big thing years ago.
00:05:23.050 --> 00:05:25.377
Wwjd, as a believer.
00:05:25.377 --> 00:05:30.651
We're speaking to you as believers, like get into the word and start getting your identity from him.
00:05:30.651 --> 00:05:32.584
As he is, so are you in this world.
00:05:32.584 --> 00:05:33.649
That's what the Bible says.
00:05:33.649 --> 00:05:40.048
We have to start wrapping our mind around the truth and stop aligning our thoughts and our words with the enemy.
00:05:40.048 --> 00:05:44.608
Read the word, get into it, have a growing and active relationship with him.
00:05:49.660 --> 00:06:04.665
No-transcript and the old ways of doing things that your genetic members of your family used to do, like eating the things that we know cause disease, that we know are cancer causers, and not eating enough of the five power foods.
00:06:04.665 --> 00:06:09.129
Change the way you're doing things and you're going to see things in your body change.
00:06:09.129 --> 00:06:11.108
We see it happen time and again.
00:06:11.108 --> 00:06:14.769
This is why we continually see our clients reverse high blood pressure.
00:06:14.769 --> 00:06:15.552
It comes back to normal.
00:06:15.552 --> 00:06:17.326
Oh, but that just happens with age.
00:06:17.326 --> 00:06:23.507
Then why is it we see their blood pressure come back to normal on the regular and they come off of their medications.
00:06:23.507 --> 00:06:34.327
Why do we see the same thing with high cholesterol coming down when you stop eating the things that are causing it to be high, when you stop eating the things that are causing vessel damage?
00:06:34.569 --> 00:06:40.595
And what we see is in societies that are plant based, as they get older, their blood pressure actually goes down.
00:06:40.595 --> 00:06:47.293
Now it reaches a balance point to where it kind of plateaus, but we don't see them get elevated and they're getting older.
00:06:47.293 --> 00:06:50.466
So aging is not a disease, it's a process.
00:06:50.466 --> 00:06:53.721
Of course, the longer you live, obviously you are getting older.
00:06:53.920 --> 00:06:56.766
It's just what happens but it's not a disease.
00:06:56.766 --> 00:06:58.810
No, but we think about it as losing health.
00:06:58.810 --> 00:07:07.807
We think as you age, you're going to not feel as good, you're not going to have high energy like you used to, you're not going to be able to run and play like you used to and do all the things you want to do.
00:07:07.807 --> 00:07:11.264
You won't be able to go like you used to do, and these things are just not true.
00:07:11.264 --> 00:07:14.132
And so we live into that, into what we believe.
00:07:23.379 --> 00:07:24.985
And into that, into what we believe, and that's how we align ourselves with it.
00:07:24.985 --> 00:07:30.843
Yeah, you don't necessarily on purpose do that, but you do if you buy into the mindset of, oh, this is just how it is, and then the danger there is that you then never do anything to overcome that, because you feel like there's nothing you can do.
00:07:30.843 --> 00:07:31.245
Right.
00:07:31.404 --> 00:07:37.769
I mean, if aging just brings about these things, then what could you possibly do that would reverse it?
00:07:37.769 --> 00:07:40.987
Not just halt it, but actually reverse it?
00:07:41.127 --> 00:07:43.413
Because obviously you can't stop aging.
00:07:43.413 --> 00:07:45.182
You can't.
00:07:45.182 --> 00:07:47.668
You're still going to be alive as you're living.
00:07:48.108 --> 00:07:48.370
Right.
00:07:48.370 --> 00:07:49.952
So you're gaining years.
00:07:49.952 --> 00:07:51.064
That's what aging is.
00:07:51.064 --> 00:07:59.932
You're gaining years and hopefully, with that aging, you're gaining wisdom and getting set free from some of these things that have kept us stuck and miserable.
00:07:59.932 --> 00:08:02.488
We don't want you stuck and miserable anymore.
00:08:02.800 --> 00:08:04.206
That's why we come and share these things.
00:08:04.206 --> 00:08:13.062
That's why we wrote the course, that's why the cookbook is there, so you can get all those recipes and figure out how do I make this stick in the way that's enjoyable and you can actually see.
00:08:13.062 --> 00:08:16.312
Hey, these dishes still taste great.
00:08:16.312 --> 00:08:24.129
It's not that I can't have them, I'm just going to have them in the way that was originally designed for my body to eat, and it still tastes amazing and I love it.
00:08:24.129 --> 00:08:32.033
And now, all of a sudden, all those aging things that were just quote normal because you had quote the genetic kind start going away.
00:08:32.033 --> 00:08:32.835
Are you kidding me?
00:08:32.835 --> 00:08:38.139
So clearly I had believed a lie and that lie is carefully crafted by your enemy.
00:08:38.139 --> 00:08:44.168
It's not your fault that you believe this stuff, except for the fact that you've allowed it in and not been filling your life with truth.
00:08:44.600 --> 00:08:49.111
And now you can change the trajectory of your life by knowing the truth.
00:08:49.780 --> 00:08:54.025
Because it is knowing the truth that sets us free and that can be found in God's word.
00:08:54.025 --> 00:08:56.001
And then we find science.
00:08:56.001 --> 00:08:59.044
Back it up, I mean over and over again.
00:08:59.325 --> 00:09:00.466
So it's like Jer was saying.
00:09:00.466 --> 00:09:06.013
There are multiple studies where they've looked at the blue zones, the areas where people live the longest.
00:09:06.013 --> 00:09:09.255
They don't get high blood pressure as they age.
00:09:09.255 --> 00:09:15.167
They don't get heart disease, Like there are no cases of it, it's just like it's non-existent.
00:09:15.167 --> 00:09:16.269
Why is that?
00:09:16.269 --> 00:09:22.529
It's because they're living differently and they don't believe that as you age you get all these things.
00:09:22.529 --> 00:09:26.484
Start looking in the Word at what it says is normal for aging.
00:09:26.484 --> 00:09:28.527
Look at Psalm 91.
00:09:28.527 --> 00:09:30.230
Look at Psalm 92.
00:09:30.230 --> 00:09:31.994
Look at Psalm 103.
00:09:31.994 --> 00:09:36.308
Start reading those and believing what it says about you as you age.
00:09:36.308 --> 00:09:38.173
What should it look like as you age?
00:09:38.173 --> 00:09:39.840
Read just those three chapters.
00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:42.332
It's all over the word.
00:09:42.332 --> 00:09:43.720
It's all over it.
00:09:43.995 --> 00:10:07.182
And something I want to highlight too, is that some of these disease processes, we used to think of them as being old people diseases, but now, as our children are starting to eat worse and worse foods because I think there was a period of time where adults ate certain things, like they might eat fast foods, but give their children better foods- but, now, as children are eating McDonald's from the age of two, we're seeing diabetes in children.
00:10:07.241 --> 00:10:18.495
I even remember back I don't know 15 years ago, maybe a little bit longer there was a 12-year-old who had diabetes Type 2.
00:10:18.495 --> 00:10:20.177
Type 2 diabetes and his blood sugar was through the roof and he was 12.
00:10:20.177 --> 00:10:21.099
And he weighed 220 pounds.
00:10:21.099 --> 00:10:23.942
I mean, I'm 6'1", I'm 53, I weigh about 190.
00:10:23.942 --> 00:10:27.327
So this is a 12-year-old weighing 220 pounds with diabetes.
00:10:27.327 --> 00:10:36.562
So really I wanted to use this as an illustration of these are not aging problems, because we're seeing a lot of these things even in very young children.
00:10:36.562 --> 00:10:38.028
So that was not an age thing.
00:10:38.028 --> 00:10:44.682
No, 12-year-old children should not have aches and pains and autoimmune diseases and diabetes, type 2 diabetes.
00:10:45.024 --> 00:10:52.705
And here's the wake-up call Neither should a 50-year-old or a 60-year-old or a 70-year-old or an 80-year-old or a 90-year-old.
00:10:52.705 --> 00:10:54.275
I mean, this is the truth of the matter.
00:10:54.275 --> 00:11:02.724
Because you take the people in those countries where they do not eat the standard American diet they eat majority whole plant foods.
00:11:02.724 --> 00:11:04.347
They're eating whole plant foods.
00:11:04.347 --> 00:11:16.907
But when you take those same people with the same genetics and you move them to an area and they did this in the studies where they now are eating the standard American diet and they take that on, all of a sudden they do have high blood pressure.
00:11:17.215 --> 00:11:18.078
Within that generation.
00:11:18.078 --> 00:11:20.162
Yes, they do have high cholesterol.
00:11:20.595 --> 00:11:22.722
They do have heart attacks and strokes.
00:11:22.975 --> 00:11:23.960
And autoimmune diseases.
00:11:24.394 --> 00:11:38.370
So wrap your mind around it and think about where have you put your thoughts and your words and your actions into alignment with what the enemy wants for you to make you think that aging is a disease.
00:11:38.370 --> 00:11:43.082
Aging is not a disease, and this is wonderful news.
00:11:43.455 --> 00:11:52.345
Because the danger of this is that you will just stay exactly where you are, never realizing the truth of who you were meant to be in the life you were called to live.
00:11:52.565 --> 00:12:02.794
And the fact that you never have to have this stuff, you can be free, you can be running, playing with your grandkids, full of life, full of energy, not having to struggle with all the diseases and all the things.
00:12:02.794 --> 00:12:04.138
Oh, we just get sick.
00:12:04.138 --> 00:12:05.099
It's just what happens.
00:12:05.099 --> 00:12:05.860
No, it's not.
00:12:05.860 --> 00:12:07.062
No, it's not.
00:12:07.062 --> 00:12:21.940
And if you say that and if you believe that it probably is going to become your reality and I'm not saying you're speaking things into existence, but what you think on and what you, it's what you believe, and what you believe is what you say and do it's just what happens.
00:12:21.940 --> 00:12:25.696
That's why Paul is always talking about guard your thoughts, think on these things.
00:12:25.696 --> 00:12:27.097
We is always talking about guard your thoughts, think on these things.
00:12:27.097 --> 00:12:28.299
We're thinking on the wrong things.
00:12:28.299 --> 00:12:30.042
We're aligning our thoughts with the world.
00:12:30.042 --> 00:12:32.625
We're giving our time and what we do over to the world.
00:12:32.625 --> 00:12:41.585
We're scrolling too much, we're watching too much TV, we're listening to too much news news right, and these things are twisted and they're not true.
00:12:41.585 --> 00:12:53.216
So we need to get our thoughts into alignment with his thoughts, our ways into alignment with his ways, and stop speaking death over ourselves and stop believing the things that aren't true and get into the word and say.
00:12:53.216 --> 00:12:55.524
What does the word say about aging?
00:12:55.524 --> 00:12:57.892
What does God say it should look like?
00:12:57.892 --> 00:12:59.135
How did Yeshua live?
00:12:59.135 --> 00:13:00.339
How did Jesus live?
00:13:00.339 --> 00:13:01.701
What was he doing?
00:13:01.701 --> 00:13:04.898
I mean, again, we had a whole thing around this years ago in the church.
00:13:04.898 --> 00:13:07.004
What would Jesus do Not?
00:13:07.004 --> 00:13:07.846
What would he do?
00:13:07.846 --> 00:13:09.419
What did he do?
00:13:09.419 --> 00:13:13.503
That's what it should have been W-D-J-D or W-D-Y-D.
00:13:13.503 --> 00:13:14.525
What did Yeshua do?
00:13:14.525 --> 00:13:21.625
Look at what he did, because he was the living example and stop identifying with the aging, sick person.
00:13:21.625 --> 00:13:30.880
You are alive in Christ and he has abundance for you and he's showing you and teaching you all these things about the foods that bring healing.
00:13:30.880 --> 00:13:32.946
He put natural healing into these foods.
00:13:32.946 --> 00:13:35.139
It's not Mother Nature that put it there.
00:13:35.139 --> 00:13:41.120
He put it there for you from the very beginning because these are the best foods to fuel your body.
00:13:41.120 --> 00:13:47.701
And Jared and I see time and again that when people get their thoughts right and understand, hey, there is something I can do about this.
00:13:47.701 --> 00:13:50.405
Hey, aging really is not a disease process.
00:13:50.405 --> 00:13:55.785
It's just adding years and hopefully again adding wisdom to my life, drawing closer to God.
00:13:55.785 --> 00:14:04.895
And then we see, as we do these things, we break free from the diseases that we thought were normal, because it just is what happens when you get old.
00:14:04.895 --> 00:14:07.744
Ask yourself am I thinking these things?
00:14:07.744 --> 00:14:09.538
Do I think that aging is a disease?
00:14:09.538 --> 00:14:12.028
Do I say to myself, well, I'm just getting old?
00:14:12.028 --> 00:14:14.397
This is just what happens when you get older.
00:14:14.397 --> 00:14:25.583
If you do, you've aligned yourself with a lie and it's time to be set free, because now you know aging is not a disease, it's just the adding of years.
00:14:26.004 --> 00:14:31.759
And look again in those Psalms and then look all over the word and how Yeshua viewed aging.
00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:37.539
And then look through the word at how Yeshua viewed life and he wants you to have it abundantly.
00:14:37.539 --> 00:14:43.586
So grasp a hold of the truth and start saying the things to yourself about aging in your thoughts.
00:14:43.586 --> 00:14:44.671
Get them right in your thoughts.
00:14:44.671 --> 00:14:49.037
Read the scriptures Again Psalm 91, psalm 92, psalm 103,.
00:14:49.136 --> 00:15:00.148
Read those scriptures and look at and highlight what they say about aging and Psalm 103, when he says bless the Lord, o my soul, and don't forget his benefits.
00:15:00.148 --> 00:15:05.037
That Hebrew word for forget do not forget his benefits doesn't mean don't just forget about the benefits.
00:15:05.037 --> 00:15:09.769
It means know the benefits, don't be ignorant of them and don't forget them.
00:15:09.769 --> 00:15:12.797
And a lot of times we're ignorant of and we don't understand what the benefits are.
00:15:12.797 --> 00:15:21.999
And we've got to start grasping the benefits, and the only way to do that is get into the word, change the way we think, change what we're speaking and then start changing what we're doing.
00:15:22.360 --> 00:15:25.366
All the answers you need are in the book.
00:15:25.366 --> 00:15:30.119
They're in the book and they're in him, because he is everything and he is all you need.
00:15:30.119 --> 00:15:33.125
Sunshine, we are so excited you joined us for this episode.

Do not any longer align your thoughts and your actions with the fact that aging is a disease, because it's just not true.
