189: The Ultimate Body Recomposition Goal

In this week’s episode we’re talking about changing the way the body looks - both the individual body and the Body of Christ. The quickest way to reshape your body is with more protein and more muscle. The quickest way to reshape the Body of Christ is for each of its individual members to be in good health. When individual bodies feel well, the entire Body of Christ shows up more vibrantly.


Come listen to how we strengthen ourselves in spirit, mind and body so that we live into all God has planned for us to do. When we feel well, we serve well and, collectively, that makes us a greater force in the world.

188: Lean Mass vs Fat Mass

Lean Mass is the sum weight of your skeletal muscle, organs, skin, bones and body water. Fat Mass is the amount of fat in your body. As we age (which, sadly, starts in our 30’s) we begin to lose muscle mass. The less muscle we have, the worse our metabolism works. Muscle is one of our greatest metabolic assets because it serves as a storage tank for carbs. The less muscle we have to store glucose, the more quickly it turns to fat. Thus, we start conceding more lean mass over to fat mass which is a major metabolic nightmare!

I recently had a body composition scan to assess my lean mass versus fat mass (scale weight doesn’t give you any insight into this important ratio). In this week’s episode, I’m telling you all about it in case it’s something you might want to do too.

187: God’s Good Table with Maureen Diaz

The Bible serves us up some really good insight when it comes to how and what we should eat. Red meat, fat, dairy and salt are all part of the provision God has given us as part of our diet and, yet, these are some of the most controversial and demonized foods among modern dietary “experts.”

In this week’s podcast, Maureen Diaz, the founder of God’s Good Table, is talking about THE EXPERT when it comes to our bodies and how we can find health, healing and hope through timeless principles rooted in God’s Word.

186: Beauty, Brain & Bones with Leslie Bumpas, FNTP

So many women believe their beauty, brains and bones are destined to take a nosedive as they age. They’re convinced they’re genetically doomed to repeat family patterns of weight gain, hair loss, osteoporosis and other chronic diseases.
Leslie is on the podcast this week to tell us it’s NOT TRUE! We have so much power over the aging process. Being frumpy and dumpy does not have to be our fate.

Come listen as we talk about everything from fun beauty tools to functional blood tests and how modern advice to reduce cholesterol, take calcium and avoid hormones often works against us. It’s always a juicy convo when Leslie is on the pod!

185: Sacred Rest with Carly Stagg, FNP

God establishes the value of rest right from the beginning. (Genesis 2:3) But rest is SO much more than just sleep. Rest is stopping people pleasing. Rest is stretching your muscles. Rest is allowing time for God to pop creative ideas into your head. Rest is soaking in nature and beautiful art. Rest is unplugging from sensory overload. Rest is plugging IN to God’s Word.

In this week’s episode, Carly and I discuss God’s call for us to rest and the different ways we can do that. We also talk about how our health takes a hormonal nosedive when we constantly put work before rest.
Come take a deep breath, listen and be reminded why you’ve got to slow down sister. Your Almighty Creator calls you to rest and to know that your work is not the most important thing - He is.

184: Toxins and Terrain

Have you ever wondered why some people “catch” the flu and some don’t? Or why one person experiences a bacterial or viral infection worse than another person? Or why some people do all the preventative things - mask up, use hand sanitizer, take vitamin C, get a vaccine - and they STILL get it and other people who don’t do any of those things and don’t?

In this week’s episode we’re talking about the way toxins impact our inner body environment (terrain) and make us more susceptible to infection and nefarious side effects. Listen in to learn why we need to focus more on terrain than germs, which toxins increase your illness and how a good detox protocol can really help.

183: Clean(ish) with Gin Stephens

In this week’s episode, Gin Stephens and I talk about her book Clean(ish) which is an informative guide about cleaning up your food and home environment without becoming overly dogmatic or fixated on an unattainable level of perfection. The more we can minimize the toxins that we put in and on our body, the less it has to struggle to stay healthy and maintain optimal weight. Most people don’t realize how modern toxins (things our ancestors didn’t have to deal with) interfere with our hormones and promote fat accumulation. 😱

It can be overwhelming to try and remove the overload of toxins we’re exposed to on a daily basis, but each little change you make can add up to a big difference: a hand soap here, a cleaning product there, a new, upgraded lip gloss when you run out of your old.

Listen in as Gin and I discuss food, products, fasting and all the ways we can clean up our bodies without putting too much pressure on ourselves along the way.
