Hello my friend! The other day, I stumbled upon a phrase that resonated deeply: "fit, content, and abundant." This aptly described how I desired to feel and be. It also brought to mind various Biblical verses. Today, I want to share my revelations on how these words can impact your life in light of God's word.
Read MoreThe recent bread workshop we did in The Christian Health Club inspired me to branch out with my bread making. I’ve always milled my grain, dumped all of the ingredients in the bread machine, and set-it-and-forget-it until I have a beautiful 2-pound loaf of bread ready 3 hours later. It’s so simple.
But, Kerri showed us other fun options of what we can do with the dough. Come check it out! 🍞
Read MoreMost people don’t realize how modern toxins interfere with our hormones and promote fat accumulation. Toxins are everywhere - in your food, in your skincare products, in your home cleaning supplies, in your candles, in your plastic water bottles, etc. These are things our Bible Sisters didn’t have to deal with and one reason we need more hormonal support these days. Check out these tips on how to reduce your toxic load.
Read MoreDespite a world full of conflicting and confusing dietary advice, the matter of what to eat is really very simple. God gave us plant foods and He gave us animal foods. The food He gave us is the food we are meant to eat. The Creator of our bodies made the perfect food for our bodies and He tells us exactly what that is. God is our Master Nutritionist and His Word is our dietary compass.
Read MoreAt the beginning of each new season in The Christian Health Club, we practice a 3-day detox that removes all meat, fish, eggs, dairy, nuts/seeds, grains, sugar and alcohol. Essentially this leaves you with vegetables, fruit and plant fats like avocados, olives and coconut. As much as I praise animal sourced foods and protein as a critical part of the diet, I recognize that periodically cycling them out is a healthy practice for the body.

Read MoreYou’re probably familiar with the concept of Detoxification but are you familiar with the concept of Drainage? Detox is what’s going on in the body to grab and process the toxins and drainage is what takes them out of the body. If the drainage pathways aren’t open and the toxins can’t get out, then they will recirculate, become more toxic and make you more sick.
Drainage MUST come before any detoxification protocol. Read on to learn more about the drainage pathways, how to optimize their “flow,” what symptoms may indicate yours are “clogged” and the current protocol I am using with clients to get the drainage pathways open.

Read MoreOne of the first books MY nutritionist recommended to me over 10 years ago was Life Without Bread. But I don’t want life without bread! It is one of my Heck Yeahs. There are very few (if any) healthy bread products. Bread in general is nutrient-devoid but energy-dense, and leads to blood sugar spikes and dips. But if you’re like me and enjoy a buttery piece of toast from time to time, then this guide to making upgraded bread choices is for you!
Read MoreThere’s something so satisfying about having a kitchen stocked full of clean basics and everyday go-tos. There’s a world of possibility behind the doors of your fridge and pantry when you keep it filled with good things. These are the foods that determine your body composition and health so it’s important to make good decisions about them at the store.
Read MoreI get a lot of questions about what our family eats and what supplements we take. Our food is simple; our supplements can be complicated. LOL
We don’t take the same supplements day-in, day-out, all year long. I’m often changing things up based on seasonal and targeted health needs (allergies, gut health, hormones, flu-season, etc). Plus, I’m always personally experimenting.
The supplements I give my kids change and rotate, not quite as much as mine do, but they definitely vary. Below is what I have them doing right now. I’ll try to keep this updated and let you know when I change things in and out.
Macronutrients are like Jesus: the same yesterday, today, and forever. No matter what diet is popular, a food will be classified into one of those three categories.
Read MoreIt’s time to give the essential trace element zinc it’s well deserved spot in the limelight. Because zinc is an ESSENTIAL mineral in the body, a deficiency can lead to so many problems beyond a compromised immune system. Let’s take a look at what this amazing mineral does for your body and how to determine if you have enough of it!
Diets are kind of like denominations.
There are SO many, and everybody thinks theirs is THE right one.
Read this post to learn how assigning yourself to a Diet Denomination could be holding you back from your health goals and stealing your food peace. Let’s take it back to basics and eat how Jesus taught us to eat.
Have you heard of The Carnivore Diet? If you haven’t, you will. It’s the new kid on the dietary block and it’s just like it sounds: an all-meat diet. In this blogpost, I’m spilling the deets on the Carnivore Diet, whether it’s healthy, and who it could work for.
