169: A Look Inside My Summer Food Journal

I’m back after my short hiatus! In this week’s episode we’re talking about the food journal I kept this summer which, in truth, I’m a little cringey about sharing with you.

I’m much more feasty in the summertime. I eat more carbs; I don’t fast as long; I drink more wine. Tis the season of longer days, looser schedules, less regiment, lots of social activity and lots of Heck Yeahs. I definitely ate, drank and was merry!

The purpose of the journal is not to give you a shining blueprint of how to eat, but to be real and transparent about how I eat. One of the best ways to teach you grace and sustainability in your eating habits is to show you how I have them in mine. We don’t have to eat perfectly all of the time, as long as we have some core nutrition and good habits in place most of the time. Download the journal and listen to the podcast for an insider look at the food, the strategy and the grace that I incorporate into my real life way of eating.

168: From Chaos to Order

Our bodies are a creation of order. We are fearfully and wonderfully made and not meant to live in bodies in a state of chaos. Poor health comes from disorder in the body. When there is disorder, there is disease. A state of ill-health can be looked at as a state of chaos- the absence of God’s order. It is being out of alignment with the way He made us. There is some element of His Presence or His Provision that is missing.

We can establish peace and order in the body by following the order in which God established Creation. He deliberately ordered the foundation of the universe which mirrors the foundational needs of our bodies. This is the essence of The Genesis Prescription. Everything we need to know for good health is revealed to us In the Beginning.

Come listen as we discuss the 8 essential elements of good health and how to restore order to the body. And come join us as we apply them this summer in The Genesis Prescription program. More info here.

167: Ancestral Living for Modern Health with Holistic Hilda

Butter, broth, meat, organs, raw dairy, salt, ferments - these are the traditional foods that kept our ancestors healthy and thriving. Nutritional pioneer Dr. Weston A Price found that the further people deviated from these foods, the more sick and physically compromised they became.

She shares stories of her interaction with indegenous people across the globe and the wise ways they honor traditional living for optimal health.

166: Calming Your Nervous System with Carly Stagg, MSN, RN, FNP-C

🙋Ever feel like your nerves are shot? Our nervous system should be able to shift in and out of calm and stress gears but many of us get stuck in the stress mode. This is a problem because the nervous system affects EVERY system in the body. When it can’t shift back to calm, it wreaks havoc on our physical and mental health.
In this week’s episode, Nurse Practitioner and FNTP, Carly Stagg, shares that she often sees this as a roadblock to her patients’ healing and has had to incorporate strategies in her practice to help people shift their nervous systems back into the parasympathetic/calm state in order to facilitate the healing process.

Come listen to determine whether your nervous system is in the ventral, sympathetic or dorsal state and the tools she uses to shift it back into a calm, healthy baseline.

165: When You Feel Icky About Yourself

✅ Social Media Ick

✅ Parenting Ick

✅ Body Ick

I’ve felt a lot of ick about myself lately. I’ve noticed it from several angles and realized that the stress of some of it has pushed me to the brink of crashing. In this week’s podcast we’re talking about having awareness around times you feel “icky” about yourself and how that can affect your health spiritually, mentally and physically. I gained five pounds and teetered on the edge of emotional breakdown until I made a decision to step back and give myself some space.

This week’s episode is a little rambly and teary but, ultimately, I hope I’m setting a good example of walking the talk when it comes to self-stewardship.

162: Protein to Energy Ratio

Did you know that humans are hardwired to eat until we get enough protein? Amino acids are so critical to health that your body will drive you to keep eating if you’re not getting enough. The more we prioritize protein, the quicker our body will be full and satisfied which lessens the risk of overeating the energy foods (carbs and fats). Excess energy gets stored as fat so, the better we manage our P:E ratio, the better we regulate our appetite, our weight and our health.

In this week’s podcast we’re diving deeper into this nutritional concept as we prepare to start my new program - 10x Stronger - which prioritizes protein and building muscle. Come listen and come join us!

161: The Strategy of Protein Distribution

If we want a leaner body composition, healthy weight, strong bones, production of feel-good neurotransmitters, high brain function, steady hormones, beautiful skin and shiny hair - we need more than a scrape-by level of protein - we need optimal protein intake. Sadly, the RDA (Recommended Daily Allowance) is just not enough.

In this week’s podcast, we’re talking about an ideal amount of protein plus the strategy of even protein distribution for better muscle protein synthesis, appetite control, blood sugar stability and overall general health.

Come listen as I lay out the plan for my new program 10x Stronger starting in May!
