00:00:01.080 --> 00:00:01.983
Hey there, sunshine.

00:00:01.983 --> 00:00:06.384
Jared and I were just talking about something and we want to let you in on the conversation.

00:00:06.384 --> 00:00:16.288
Think about this question that we were just discussing what food tastes better to you than feeling good feels?

00:00:16.288 --> 00:00:23.807
What food or maybe it's foods taste better to you than feeling good feels?

00:00:23.807 --> 00:00:32.109
This is a pivotal question and that's what we're diving into today, because this can take you to the next level in your health.

00:00:32.109 --> 00:00:33.713
Let's talk about it.

00:00:34.539 --> 00:00:37.508
Hey sister, welcome to the Power on Plants podcast.

00:00:37.508 --> 00:00:42.829
Are you tired of staring into the fridge wondering what to eat so you can just feel better?

00:00:42.829 --> 00:00:48.223
Do you want to avoid spending hours in the kitchen making complicated meals in the name of health?

00:00:48.223 --> 00:00:54.506
Would you love to leave fatigue behind and finally have the energy to do all the things you want to do?

00:00:54.506 --> 00:01:02.194
Hi, we're Jared and Anita Roussel, christ followers, healthcare professionals, parents of four and big fans of great tasting food.

00:01:02.676 --> 00:01:14.388
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.

00:01:14.388 --> 00:01:21.611
So we dug into the research and created our secret nutritional weapon sustainable plant-based living.

00:01:21.611 --> 00:01:25.390
The truth is, you can eat more whole plant foods, and it's not hard.

00:01:25.390 --> 00:01:30.570
You just need the way that's realistic and delicious so you never feel deprived.

00:01:30.570 --> 00:01:38.805
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.

00:01:38.805 --> 00:01:44.081
So grab your favorite plant-based cup of happy pop in those earbuds and let's get started.

00:01:45.784 --> 00:01:47.667
Welcome to this episode of the podcast.

00:01:47.667 --> 00:01:50.609
We are excited to have you here joining us today.

00:01:50.609 --> 00:01:54.394
We have a very important question that we would love to discuss with you.

00:01:54.394 --> 00:02:01.822
Recently, we went for a 31st wedding anniversary celebration.

00:02:01.822 --> 00:02:05.832
We went to a little seaside area close to where we live and I'm not sure if that's considered a staycation or not.

00:02:05.832 --> 00:02:08.786
I've always heard of staycations being you stay home.

00:02:08.786 --> 00:02:14.225
I'll be honest in my experiences with staycations, they're not very awesome.

00:02:15.207 --> 00:02:18.713
Not very staycation-y, not very staycation-y, vacation-y.

00:02:18.713 --> 00:02:25.372
They're not very relaxing, but you know, I've had instances where you had the time off from work.

00:02:25.372 --> 00:02:26.961
If you didn't use it, you lose it.

00:02:26.961 --> 00:02:34.424
So I did it, but we stayed in our own home city, stayed in a beachside condo and just really enjoyed it.

00:02:35.145 --> 00:02:37.330
It was so much fun, you've got to do it.

00:02:37.390 --> 00:02:39.786
If you haven't done, that find a place to stay close to home.

00:02:39.786 --> 00:02:45.256
But don't stay home, get away, because that change of scenery and the change of atmosphere will get you to thinking about things.

00:02:45.256 --> 00:02:48.287
You don't stay home, Get away, because that change of scenery and the change of atmosphere will get you to thinking about things you don't normally think about.

00:02:48.287 --> 00:02:55.819
You'll get creative in whatever spaces you're working in or you're crafting in or you're serving in and ministry or your business.

00:02:55.819 --> 00:03:06.242
I mean it's huge, for if you have a business because you start having all these amazing ideas when you get out of your normal routine and get into nature, that was a huge part for us.

00:03:06.263 --> 00:03:16.145
We love that aspect, but I think getting away from home it gives you permission to not think about home, because when you're home you think of all the projects or chores, things that you need to do, need to get done.

00:03:16.306 --> 00:03:16.526
Right.

00:03:16.546 --> 00:03:19.241
But if you're away from there, you can't do it.

00:03:19.241 --> 00:03:28.328
So it really gives you permission, it frees your mind of all that other stuff and then you can think more clearly, more creatively, and that's exactly what we just experienced.

00:03:28.328 --> 00:03:30.067
So we had a great time.

00:03:30.419 --> 00:03:33.944
I think you hear God better too, don't you Like if God's trying to tell you something?

00:03:33.944 --> 00:03:38.168
I think, if you can get out of that space, and have some quiet the distractions.

00:03:38.168 --> 00:03:38.709
That's it.

00:03:39.240 --> 00:03:58.247
But as we were walking around, we were enjoying it, and I had a I don't know revelation or I don't know what you would quite call it, but there was a marketplace in that area and there was a few restaurants and there were some familiar smells, things we don't eat anymore, but things we used to eat in the past and had those familiar smells.

00:03:58.247 --> 00:04:07.844
And I just thought you know, there's nothing about that that tastes better than feeling good feels, just like you said in the intro for today's episode.

00:04:08.125 --> 00:04:14.591
I know when he says that and I look over and I think what he says it out loud, he's not just thinking it in his mind, he actually says this out loud.

00:04:14.591 --> 00:04:20.170
Anita, what tastes better than feeling good feels?

00:04:20.170 --> 00:04:38.845
And then we went on to talk about what we're going to share with you today, how so many of us get used to eating these things so we feel like, oh, I've got to have it, especially if they have some chemical hold on us, like cheese and dairy can, because we know that those things have proteins in there that are made to bring the baby calf back to the cow.

00:04:38.845 --> 00:04:46.408
So it works on our brains in much the same way, almost like morphine, and so it hits those receptors, drawing us back.

00:04:46.408 --> 00:04:49.774
And so now that food has a physical hold on us.

00:04:50.415 --> 00:04:54.189
So if you're like I was before cheese lost its hold on me, that would have been cheese.

00:04:54.189 --> 00:05:01.163
Cheese tastes better to me than good felt, because I didn't think about how it was holding me back or how I would feel so much better if I didn't eat it.

00:05:01.163 --> 00:05:04.930
I was just thinking I got to have cheese, like, what can we have tonight that has cheese on it?

00:05:04.930 --> 00:05:11.884
What can we have today that has cheese on it, and if it wasn't cheese, it was sour cream, it was yogurt, it was milk.

00:05:12.439 --> 00:05:19.105
But those choices were reinforced by it's good for you, it has calcium, it has protein, it has things that you need.

00:05:19.319 --> 00:05:24.026
Yes, the marketing messages are so crafty, so clever, and that is for a reason.

00:05:24.588 --> 00:05:26.690
But in that context I was thinking too.

00:05:26.690 --> 00:05:29.495
I've heard many patients say oh, I can never give up meat.

00:05:30.281 --> 00:05:31.026
I can never do that.

00:05:31.026 --> 00:05:32.064
I can never give up steak.

00:05:32.459 --> 00:05:35.870
And I thought does that meat, does that steak?

00:05:35.870 --> 00:05:42.872
And that's what we were smelling barbecue, and you could smell the exhaust from the kitchen wafting through the air.

00:05:42.872 --> 00:05:50.367
And I thought does that taste better than having the energy not aching, not having stiffness?

00:05:50.367 --> 00:05:55.882
Does that steak taste better than feeling awesome, feels?

00:05:56.122 --> 00:05:57.807
And you could substitute anything in here.

00:05:57.927 --> 00:05:59.911
Like we have a daughter who never cared for meat.

00:06:00.060 --> 00:06:02.105
Even when we didn't eat meat, she just never cared for it.

00:06:02.105 --> 00:06:03.269
She liked other things.

00:06:03.269 --> 00:06:05.245
So it wouldn't have been steak for her.

00:06:05.245 --> 00:06:08.985
It might have been cheese, like it was for her mom, or it might be sugars.

00:06:09.079 --> 00:06:13.988
Maybe you have a sweet tooth and you just love sugar and you think, oh, if I do that thing, I can never have sugar.

00:06:13.988 --> 00:06:16.048
If I go all in, I'll have to give up all sugar.

00:06:16.048 --> 00:06:20.444
We have people tell us this all the time about sugar and it's a oh yeah.

00:06:20.444 --> 00:06:22.485
My husband's problem is he just eats sweets.

00:06:22.485 --> 00:06:27.571
You know, or he would be so healthy if he just never ate sweets again, or I just couldn't give up sweets.

00:06:27.670 --> 00:06:28.552
There's that thing again.

00:06:28.552 --> 00:06:33.317
It's that that's the thing for them that tastes better than they think good would feel.

00:06:33.317 --> 00:06:42.048
Or maybe we just don't even think about it because our enemy is so clever and gets us stuck on these foods and into these routines, and we all have a common enemy, right?

00:06:42.048 --> 00:06:45.963
So I want you to ask yourself what has?

00:06:45.963 --> 00:06:58.278
Because, really, when you think about it and identify these foods that you know are not for your best, but you haven't tried to come off of them, or you've come off of them before and you know how great you feel.

00:06:58.278 --> 00:06:59.781
But you've gone back to them.

00:06:59.781 --> 00:07:04.055
You have to start saying how does it have such a hold on me?

00:07:04.055 --> 00:07:07.776
How have I allowed it to continue having this hold on me?

00:07:07.776 --> 00:07:09.987
These things can become like idols in our lives.

00:07:09.987 --> 00:07:11.869
These things can become like idols in our lives.

00:07:12.428 --> 00:07:24.822
And one other question, too, to what you were just mentioning a moment ago, is if you tell yourself I could never live without this thing, then to your point of, has this become like an idol?

00:07:24.822 --> 00:07:31.088
Because there's nothing that I eat that I feel like I could never live without.

00:07:31.088 --> 00:07:45.206
I enjoy these foods, and thankfully these are the foods that the Father has put on the earth to fuel us well, and to fuel our bodies for his service, but there's not a single food that I ever have felt like, since we've gone plant-based that I couldn't live without.

00:07:45.346 --> 00:07:47.793
Right, because these foods just don't get a hold on you.

00:07:47.793 --> 00:07:55.218
You're not thinking about what you're going to eat 24-7, once you know how to eat whole food, plant-based in the way that's simple, enjoyable and delicious.

00:07:55.218 --> 00:08:05.081
But what are those things that we know cause inflammation, cause disease, cause harm to the body, make you feel exhausted all the time, like you have no energy, you're zapped.

00:08:05.081 --> 00:08:07.225
You just want to feel better.

00:08:07.225 --> 00:08:14.612
You're tired of going to doctor's offices for this thing and that thing and it's taking up all your time and energy, of going to doctor's offices for this thing and that thing and it's taking up all your time and energy.

00:08:14.612 --> 00:08:23.139
These are the foods that we know can cause the inflammation and the disease that we are convinced somehow that are related to old age or bad genes.

00:08:23.139 --> 00:08:24.783
But that's just not true.

00:08:24.783 --> 00:08:26.767
You've got to learn to let those mindsets go.

00:08:27.108 --> 00:08:28.291
That is further deception.

00:08:28.492 --> 00:08:31.805
It's deception and it's all by plan of your enemy.

00:08:31.805 --> 00:08:43.009
So what we want to share with you is some of the foods that we know hold people back and that, by research, we know, when people stop eating these things, they actually gain their health back.

00:08:43.009 --> 00:08:54.009
Our dairy, for me, again, that was cheese, it was milk, it was sour cream, it was mayo that had dairy in it, ice cream, all these things.

00:08:54.591 --> 00:08:56.572
And I will say the fermented dairy foods.

00:08:56.572 --> 00:09:01.298
Even though they're fermented, that doesn't impart some magical health benefit to them.

00:09:01.298 --> 00:09:06.087
They will still have the saturated fats, they will still have the hormones in them.

00:09:06.087 --> 00:09:08.716
So don't be deceived by oh, but this is fermented.

00:09:08.716 --> 00:09:16.346
So, if it's yogurt, kefir, if it's creme fraiche or any of these others, it doesn't matter.

00:09:16.346 --> 00:09:20.157
It's still a dairy product and it still has these negative health consequences.

00:09:20.365 --> 00:09:26.379
Well, you're getting all the hormones and all these other things that are in there that we know just are not good for you and that stir up inflammation.

00:09:26.379 --> 00:09:31.231
I'm not going to go into all that, we don't have time today, but I want you to know these things.

00:09:31.633 --> 00:09:33.216
Their hold on you can be broken.

00:09:33.216 --> 00:09:35.787
Dairy I was a dairy queen.

00:09:35.787 --> 00:09:38.456
Meat, like Jared was talking about.

00:09:38.456 --> 00:09:41.306
Does this steak taste better to me than feeling good feels?

00:09:41.306 --> 00:09:44.633
Does cheese taste better to me than feeling good feels?

00:09:44.633 --> 00:09:46.777
Do eggs do?

00:09:46.817 --> 00:09:56.471
Pressed out oils is it more important for me to have added oils and be able to glug that over my food and into my sauce pan and tell myself somehow that it's healthy?

00:09:56.471 --> 00:09:58.878
Is that more important to me than feeling good feels?

00:09:58.878 --> 00:10:01.815
Highly refined sugars these are the bad carbs.

00:10:01.815 --> 00:10:03.682
Yes, not all carbs are bad for you.

00:10:03.682 --> 00:10:06.049
Your body was actually created to run on carbs, right.

00:10:06.049 --> 00:10:18.355
Highly refined sugars large amounts of salt Do these things, or which of these things, to you, because it may be different for all of us which of these things tastes better to you than feeling good feels?

00:10:19.057 --> 00:10:20.038
What is holding you back?

00:10:20.038 --> 00:10:21.447
What has that hold on you?

00:10:21.447 --> 00:10:35.336
What we were just saying is these things can become idols in your life, so if you feel like you couldn't possibly live without eating that thing that's what Jared was talking about then it's important to think about the hold it has on you.

00:10:35.336 --> 00:10:39.700
Freedom is on the other side.

00:10:39.700 --> 00:10:42.106
That's what we want to tell you today.

00:10:42.106 --> 00:10:44.311
Freedom is on the other side.

00:10:44.471 --> 00:10:55.806
I can promise you feeling good feels better than eating any of those things feel, and one of the big reasons is because you can find your new favorites.

00:10:55.806 --> 00:11:00.860
You can still have meaty things and cheesy things and sweets.

00:11:00.860 --> 00:11:03.268
Yes, you can still enjoy sweets.

00:11:03.268 --> 00:11:05.833
You don't have to deprive yourself eating this way.

00:11:05.833 --> 00:11:17.575
We've done it for years, we've helped our clients do it for years and our patients and we see them consistently reversing the most common chronic diseases of our time that they were told they were going to have for life.

00:11:17.575 --> 00:11:24.456
One of Jared's most recent patients she was taking insulin daily for type 2 diabetes.

00:11:24.456 --> 00:11:27.388
She was told and led to believe she would have it forever.

00:11:27.388 --> 00:11:39.019
However, within just a short amount of time of implementing the things that we teach, she was able, through his counsel, through his coaching and his help, to stop requiring insulin.

00:11:39.019 --> 00:11:40.548
Her body no longer requires it.

00:11:40.589 --> 00:11:41.873
She just didn't need it anymore.

00:11:42.453 --> 00:11:43.317
So what does that mean?

00:11:43.317 --> 00:11:46.215
She no longer has type 2 diabetes.

00:11:46.215 --> 00:11:52.859
We help people to reverse, on a consistent basis, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity.

00:11:52.859 --> 00:11:59.754
We together lost over 70 pounds without even trying, because we found the way that works.

00:11:59.754 --> 00:12:16.687
It works consistently time and again when you have a system to get your mindset right so that these foods no longer have a hold on you, so that they no longer taste better than feeling good feels, because you start feeling good and you realize how great that is, because now you're going and doing all the things you want to do.

00:12:16.687 --> 00:12:19.254
You're getting out into nature, you're enjoying your time with your family.

00:12:19.254 --> 00:12:22.673
You're serving and doing ministry like you've always wanted to do.

00:12:22.673 --> 00:12:26.308
You have that desire to build a business, but now you actually can.

00:12:26.308 --> 00:12:27.270
Now you're doing it.

00:12:27.270 --> 00:12:34.106
Now you're actually putting the steps into place to start that podcast to help people that you've always wanted to begin or start.

00:12:34.106 --> 00:12:41.349
You have the ideas of traveling and going on vacation and doing all these amazing things serving people.

00:12:41.349 --> 00:12:50.806
You didn't even feel like staying awake or holding your eyes open past noon and now you're having to force yourself to go to bed at night because you have so much energy and feel so good.

00:12:51.187 --> 00:12:59.503
I can promise you, on this side of things, it always feels better to feel better than to eat those foods.

00:12:59.503 --> 00:13:04.321
It is better to feel better, it is better to be able to live the life you were created to live.

00:13:04.321 --> 00:13:12.386
But somehow the enemy convinces us and pulls us into bondage to these foods that we think we then have to have them.

00:13:12.386 --> 00:13:14.046
Sometimes we get physically addicted.

00:13:14.046 --> 00:13:15.470
We shared about that in the beginning.

00:13:15.470 --> 00:13:26.374
Sometimes it's just that we think we need it because marketing messages like Jared said oh well, you need this milk, it does your body good, meat, it's what's for dinner, all these different things we think we need it.

00:13:26.374 --> 00:13:36.894
And then, when we start getting conscious of the fact that they're not healthy, the media comes and says oh well, this one's not as healthy, but this type of meat, that's healthier for you, right, or is it really?

00:13:37.155 --> 00:13:38.427
that bad for you.

00:13:38.427 --> 00:13:45.172
But sometimes, like you're saying, you may not know the hold that it has on you, because you're eating it regularly, because you think you need it.

00:13:45.172 --> 00:13:53.899
But once you realize you don't need it, then it may become evident that it has a hold, and that's where you need to break through to the other side.

00:13:54.085 --> 00:13:57.095
And we're here to tell you this because we're on the other side.

00:13:57.095 --> 00:14:04.365
We have clients and patients who are on the other side, consistently staying there, because they now know how to make this enjoyable.

00:14:04.365 --> 00:14:10.610
They love the lifestyle and they keep coming back to it, day after day, because no longer do those things have the hold.

00:14:10.610 --> 00:14:19.331
The enemy's lost his hold in that area, and so now they're eating the foods that their bodies were originally created to thrive on, according to Genesis 129.

00:14:19.331 --> 00:14:27.193
We said this before the closer you get back to the garden in any area of your life, the better you are going to do.

00:14:27.193 --> 00:14:29.351
It's just how it works.

00:14:29.965 --> 00:14:32.188
Our enemy does not want you to feel good.

00:14:32.188 --> 00:14:35.634
He does not want you to be well, because you have a plan and a purpose.

00:14:35.634 --> 00:14:36.355
Here in this world.

00:14:36.355 --> 00:14:51.652
There are things that God has created for you to do, and in order to do those things, you need to be able to break free from the things that you think you have to have, that are holding you back, that are causing you to be inflamed and exhausted and not feel good.

00:14:51.652 --> 00:14:57.542
So, through living this amazing way of life, jared and I have come up with a system that worked for us.

00:14:57.542 --> 00:15:02.955
It's backed by research and it works for our clients and patients time and time again.

00:15:03.615 --> 00:15:20.755
But once you know the simple way to walk through these things like getting your mindset right and getting those old myths out that you believe for far too long, that have held you back Then you can break free and get your environment right, the people, places and things around you, and we have specific steps that we can walk you through to be able to do that.

00:15:20.755 --> 00:15:24.674
Then you've got to make the food taste good.

00:15:24.674 --> 00:15:31.119
You've got to know how to make the new things, the things your body was created to thrive on, taste amazing.

00:15:31.119 --> 00:15:48.775
There are ways you can do that and we'll teach you exactly how to do that the strategies, the tips for making it taste good, for saving time, making it rapid or quick and making it very simple so that it's realistic with your busy schedule.

00:15:48.775 --> 00:15:51.649
That is the path to success.

00:15:51.828 --> 00:16:04.313
This is what we're going to dive deep into into our course in a very simple way that is not hard to implement but that will get you results and help you to break free from these things that are holding you back.

00:16:04.313 --> 00:16:07.928
So ask yourself today this is step number one for you.

00:16:07.928 --> 00:16:10.796
Today Just do this one thing, just this one thing.

00:16:10.796 --> 00:16:18.658
Ask yourself than feeling good feels.

00:16:18.658 --> 00:16:28.004
What is it that I'm eating that is worth me spending all my time in the doctor's office dealing with all the side effects of the medications?

00:16:28.004 --> 00:16:45.028
I'm on not feeling like running around with my grandchildren and playing with them, not being able to be here fully in my right mind as I age to be able to plant the seeds I need to plant into the next generation, not being able to go into the mission field that God has called me into.

00:16:45.028 --> 00:16:46.682
I'm just not talking about overseas.

00:16:46.815 --> 00:16:48.100
Like you, have a mission field.

00:16:48.100 --> 00:16:52.629
Your mission field is six feet around you Anybody that is in your proximity.

00:16:53.092 --> 00:16:53.434
Absolutely.

00:16:53.434 --> 00:17:03.778
And so what tastes better to you than living the calling that you have on your life, than being able to fully enjoy the life that you've been given to live?

00:17:03.778 --> 00:17:15.327
Because I can promise you, when those things lose their hold and you start finding your new favorites and recalling your old favorites that made you feel good that you've forgotten about, go back and listen to the past episode.

00:17:15.327 --> 00:17:22.987
It's super, super important that you listen to that episode, because we share with you about finding your new favorites and rediscovering your old ones.

00:17:22.987 --> 00:17:24.269
You don't want to miss that one.

00:17:24.269 --> 00:17:25.480
It is key.

00:17:25.480 --> 00:17:31.316
And then we want you to keep thinking about and maybe journal and jot down some notes on.

00:17:32.119 --> 00:17:42.921
This is the thing, this is the food that has the hold on me, that I've allowed the enemy to come in and say, hey, you need this, it's good for you, it is for your good.

00:17:42.921 --> 00:17:52.227
When, if that thing would lose its hold on you and you could find ways to replace it that were simple and enjoyable and tasted great, you wouldn't miss it.

00:17:52.227 --> 00:17:53.760
But it lost its hold.

00:17:53.760 --> 00:18:11.244
And now your body's feeling good and you're thriving and you have energy and you can do all those things you were created to do, you were born to do and you've been sick of sitting on the sidelines feeling like you're watching all these amazing opportunities to build friendships and to serve, pass you by and to just fully live your life.

00:18:11.244 --> 00:18:17.982
That doesn't have to be your story anymore, but the first key is identifying what are those things specific for you?

00:18:17.982 --> 00:18:21.064
It may not be the same thing for this person or that person.

00:18:21.064 --> 00:18:22.436
What is it for you?

00:18:23.439 --> 00:18:41.523
And some of the areas to consider when it comes to food are meat, dairy, eggs, oils, refined sugars which are like white sugars and highly refined carbohydrates not whole plant foods and large amounts of added salt, and you won't believe how much you're eating.

00:18:41.523 --> 00:18:41.704
That.

00:18:41.704 --> 00:18:44.957
You don't even know when you start turning that puppy over and reading the ingredients list.

00:18:44.957 --> 00:18:46.058
It's in everything.

00:18:46.058 --> 00:18:48.464
The oils, they're in most everything.

00:18:48.464 --> 00:18:50.836
Salt is added to almost everything.

00:18:50.836 --> 00:18:55.106
Would you believe that dairy may be living in your non-dairy creamer?

00:18:55.106 --> 00:18:56.678
I'm just going to throw that out there for you.

00:18:56.718 --> 00:18:59.605
This is how sneaky the enemy is to get us to eat these things.

00:18:59.605 --> 00:19:06.356
Why are they being snuck in there?

00:19:06.356 --> 00:19:08.701
Why are all these other artificial ingredients being snuck in there that we think are healthy?

00:19:08.701 --> 00:19:09.483
Citric acid oh, that sounds healthy.

00:19:09.483 --> 00:19:10.546
Oh, it's just citrus.

00:19:10.546 --> 00:19:11.428
No, it's not.

00:19:11.428 --> 00:19:12.996
No, it's not.

00:19:12.996 --> 00:19:18.882
These are the types of things we're going to teach you about that you need to know Identify.

00:19:18.882 --> 00:19:21.164
Where am I being held back?

00:19:21.164 --> 00:19:23.406
What is that thing that I'm saying to myself?

00:19:23.406 --> 00:19:24.407
I can't live without that.

00:19:24.407 --> 00:19:25.750
I could never live without that.

00:19:25.750 --> 00:19:27.431
I can never stop eating that.

00:19:27.431 --> 00:19:33.278
Maybe it's just I could never eat just rabbit foods.

00:19:33.338 --> 00:19:35.185
Maybe you have a wrong mindset about the foods that you're going to be eating.

00:19:35.185 --> 00:19:36.330
You consider them rabbit foods or grass.

00:19:36.330 --> 00:19:38.135
There's so much more to healthy plant-based.

00:19:38.135 --> 00:19:38.757
I'm telling you.

00:19:38.757 --> 00:19:41.179
It is going to expand your options.

00:19:41.179 --> 00:19:46.384
When we go through this course, it is going to blow your mind All the options that you have that you never had before.

00:19:46.384 --> 00:19:48.387
You're living restricted.

00:19:48.387 --> 00:19:49.669
Now.

00:19:49.669 --> 00:20:03.977
If you're not whole food plant-based Now, if you have not realized the way to expand whole food plant-based beyond chili and beyond salads, you do not have to live restricted and feeling like you're somehow missing out.

00:20:03.977 --> 00:20:14.482
If there's something you love before I can show you how to find a substitute You're going to like just as much or even better, and then you get to the point where they lose their whole, so much you don't even have to have the substitutes anymore.

00:20:14.482 --> 00:20:20.285
You've got new things, all these new things to eat and try that you didn't even know were possible.

00:20:20.285 --> 00:20:21.528
They weren't on your radar.

00:20:21.528 --> 00:20:23.903
You did not even know these things existed.

00:20:23.903 --> 00:20:32.705
It took us 10 plus years to figure out that these things existed and how to pull them together and how to make them taste good and what ingredients to sub in.

00:20:33.315 --> 00:20:34.681
It doesn't have to take you that long.

00:20:34.681 --> 00:20:36.221
We've already walked this journey.

00:20:36.221 --> 00:20:37.939
We know the path.

00:20:37.939 --> 00:20:39.904
We know the way it's helped us.

00:20:39.904 --> 00:20:40.528
It helps others all the path.

00:20:40.528 --> 00:20:41.031
We know the way it's helped us.

00:20:41.031 --> 00:20:41.520
It helps others all the time.

00:20:51.464 --> 00:20:56.064
Figure out what are those things that are holding you back, that have a hold on you.

00:20:56.064 --> 00:20:58.248
Release them.

Share.

00:21:04.596 --> 00:21:12.025
This is the thing that I know that's been holding me back, and today I've decided to release that thing and to figure out what to eat instead.

00:21:12.025 --> 00:21:13.210
What are y'all eating instead?

00:21:13.210 --> 00:21:15.701
And start finding some of your new favorites.

00:21:15.701 --> 00:21:18.634
I promise you there's way more than you're going to initially start with.

00:21:18.634 --> 00:21:21.779
Start with one, start with two, that's it.

00:21:21.779 --> 00:21:23.103

I don't care if you've been doing whole food plant-based for a while.

00:21:38.398 --> 00:21:39.400
Think about it.

Have you had struggles?
