In this episode, Professor Thomas P. Seager, PhD breaks down the real science and strategy of deliberate cold exposure: why cold can support cortisol instead of frying your nervous system, how it may influence testosterone (yes, women too) and the thyroid via brown fat, and why it’s more about metabolic signaling and mitochondrial health than “burning calories.”

Plus: the surprising research on cold exposure and vitamin D, and the key timing nuance for athletic performance and recovery (pre-cooling vs post-workout ice baths).

Why do some Christians observe Lent while others don’t? In this episode, we’re exploring the early Church, the origins of Lent, decisions around the church calendar and how Biblical rhythms of fasting and preparation shaped Believers long before denominations existed. 

The season of Lent begins soon. Join us for Feast 2 Fast® for Lent!

Sugar gets a bad rap - but what does the Bible actually say about it?

In this episode, we take a biblical and biological look at sugar, exploring why not all sweeteners are created equal and how God designed sweetness to be used with wisdom, seasonality, and discernment. We’ll unpack the role of honey, maple syrup, dates and the surprising benefits of molasses - plus the sugar I’m using most often these days. 

Food fear, sugar shaming and feeling sugar shamed is not peaceful or productive. Instead, let’s talk about scripture, stewardship, and learning how to enjoy sweetness without being ruled by it.
