00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.160
So he has reversed his heart age by seven years.

00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:06.400
Let your mind wrap around that.

00:00:06.639 --> 00:00:07.360
Seven years.

00:00:07.519 --> 00:00:08.960
What would happen for your body?

00:00:09.119 --> 00:00:10.960
What would become possible for you?

00:00:11.119 --> 00:00:22.800
All the dreams and goals that you have for your business, for your life, for making memories with your family, for being there, for your children, your grandchildren, running and living this life full on instead of living it from a bed somewhere.

00:00:22.960 --> 00:00:26.320
We don't just want extended life, we want full life.

00:00:26.559 --> 00:00:34.240
Welcome to the Power on Plants Podcast, the home of kingdom-driven men and women who refuse to let their body become the bottleneck to their God-given calling.

00:00:34.479 --> 00:00:47.280
If you're building a business, raising up the next generation, and carrying vision, but behind the scenes your energy is fading, inflammation is rising, your labs aren't great, and you're wondering how much longer can I keep pushing like this?

00:00:47.439 --> 00:00:49.200
This is where everything shifts.

00:00:49.439 --> 00:00:55.119
Because here's the truth: you don't lack discipline, you don't lack drive, and you're not just getting older.

00:00:55.359 --> 00:01:00.399
Your body simply needs a strategy that fully matches the level of assignment you're carrying.

00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:10.799
The way to eat that fuels focus, stabilizes energy, quietly reverses inflammation, and the most common diseases of our time, and still lets you enjoy every single bite.

00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:16.079
We're Jared and Anita Roussel, Christ followers, healthcare professionals, parents of four.

00:01:16.239 --> 00:01:21.280
And once upon a time, we were exhausted, inflamed, and told that's just age and genetics.

00:01:21.519 --> 00:01:25.280
But God led us to the research and back to his original design.

00:01:25.359 --> 00:01:31.200
And what we discovered unlocked the high performance, kingdom advancing level of health we'd been praying for.

00:01:31.359 --> 00:01:35.040
No dieting, no deprivation, no hours in the kitchen.

00:01:35.280 --> 00:01:44.079
Just simple, completely enjoyable plant-based meals, snacks, and desserts, the way that lets you reclaim maximum energy, mental clarity, and real physical freedom.

00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:48.239
So your body finally amplifies your purpose instead of holding it hostage.

00:01:48.480 --> 00:02:03.200
So if you're done being slowed down, done settling for low energy, foggy thinking, or feeling older than you are, and you're ready to show up strong, think clearly, 10x your productivity, and actually enjoy the meals that move you to optimal health.

00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:05.200
You're exactly where you need to be.

00:02:05.359 --> 00:02:10.719
So pop in your earbuds and let's maximize your power on plants.

00:02:11.840 --> 00:02:25.680
Hello and welcome to Power on Plants, the podcast for Christian leaders and kingdom entrepreneurs who carry real responsibility and know that your body needs to show up completely to support the calling God has placed on your life.

00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:29.520
I'm Anita Roussel, a nurse and integrative nutrition health coach.

00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:33.520
And I'm Jared Roussel, a physician assistant and lifestyle medicine professional.

00:02:33.680 --> 00:02:39.919
Every week we show you how to fuel your body with whole plant foods, the simple, enjoyable, real life way.

00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:46.960
So energy returns, inflammation calms, labs improve, and your physical capacity completely matches your assignment.

00:02:47.120 --> 00:03:02.400
Now, if you're new here, you're stepping into 370 strategic episodes, all built for purpose-driven leaders who want to finally feel strong, have sharp mental clarity, and lead without poor health holding you back any longer from fully living your calling.

00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:08.879
It's time for low energy and mounting concerns about your health to stop consuming so much of your time.

00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:20.960
The sad reality is that Jared and I often receive messages and calls when someone has received a diagnosis because that's often when you reach the place you feel like you have to do something about your health.

00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:33.840
But our hope for you is that with the calling that is on your life to do big things and bring God's kingdom to this earth through that calling, that you don't wait until a drastic health wake-up call comes your way.

00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:37.599
Why not start today making this your best year ever?

00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:45.199
No matter your age or what you've been going through with your body, it's time to make going from strength to strength your daily story.

00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:53.919
This is our father's heart's desire for you, not to keep pushing and pushing to get things done until your body finally says, you know what?

00:03:54.240 --> 00:03:54.879
No more.

00:03:55.120 --> 00:03:56.960
What if you didn't have to reach that point?

00:03:57.120 --> 00:04:06.560
What if it was possible for your labs to start improving and the diagnosis and symptoms you've accepted as just being how it is, or I'm just getting older, to become a thing of the past?

00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:11.840
So that this could be the start of your very best, most fully lived years yet.

00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:19.839
Today we're going to share the five easy, powerful ways to start eating whole food plant-based that actually stick.

00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:28.079
Because the reality is you do not need more discipline or willpowering through methods that you don't enjoy in the attempt to become healthy.

00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:45.199
You do not need another restart or a reboot, and you certainly don't need to keep thinking that calorie counting or portion control or keeping up with grams or macros or thinking any other miserable dieting rules that are next to impossible to maintain for life are the ways to lasting health because they're not.

00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:52.560
You need the blueprint that actually works with real life and is enjoyable, that harnesses the power of the most healing foods on this planet.

00:04:52.720 --> 00:05:03.199
Whole plant foods, the foods that were created beautifully and optimally to work with your body and not against it, so that your energy and your mental clarity and your endurance finally show up consistently.

00:05:03.439 --> 00:05:10.800
The first powerful way to start eating whole plant foods for optimal health is simply to replace one old favorite at a time.

00:05:10.959 --> 00:05:12.560
This is the upgrade path.

00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:17.839
So many times we hear people say, How could I eat rabbit food when I like XYZ?

00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:19.120
You fill in the blank.

00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:20.079
It could be anything.

00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:26.639
All of those.

00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:31.120
How could I go to rabbit food when I'm eating all these other foods and I just love them so much?

00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:34.480
Well, here's the key start with meals you already love.

00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:37.680
So what you're doing here is upgrading the ingredients.

00:05:37.839 --> 00:05:42.319
You switch out the ones that are not plant-based for ones that are plant-based.

00:05:42.399 --> 00:05:45.600
So you're still eating the same meal, just in a better way.

00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:51.279
So you still get that same enjoyment, especially if you follow the Power on Plants way and make it stick to your ribs.

00:05:51.439 --> 00:05:56.879
And those of you who've been with us in the Power on Plants family for a while, what do I call this?

00:05:57.040 --> 00:05:59.759
We call it finding your new favorites.

00:05:59.839 --> 00:06:01.680
And this is key for you.

00:06:01.839 --> 00:06:09.120
You're looking at replacing one old favorite at a time to a new upgraded way that fuels your body right.

00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:13.040
This is the zero deprivation way to start going whole food plant-based.

00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:22.480
So you take one old favorite, you replace it with a new upgraded way that makes your body feel amazing and that you actually love so you don't dread eating this way.

00:06:22.720 --> 00:06:29.600
This method is going to bring slower results than the rest, but it's going to be an improvement over what you're experiencing now.

00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:31.600
So why not get started today?

00:06:31.759 --> 00:06:33.920
Some examples are taco bowls.

00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:41.360
Like instead of your old favorite taco meat, you can make a lentil taco meat or a walnut taco filling that's just as satisfying for you.

00:06:41.519 --> 00:06:46.079
The key with this is I want you to find those recipes that you absolutely love.

00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:49.040
You might try one out there that's not your absolute favorite.

00:06:49.199 --> 00:06:50.240
Listen, we've gone through it.

00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:51.120
We know what it's like.

00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:53.839
This is why we have our two cookbook bundles for you.

00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:58.560
If you don't know where to start, go right now to poweronplants.com forward slash cookbook.

00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:03.519
This is where you're going to find our new favorites, and you don't have to try to figure out your own.

00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:05.120
It's a great place to start.

00:07:05.279 --> 00:07:08.079
And those are at poweronplants.com forward slash cookbook.

00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:10.639
We've already perfected the recipe, so you don't have to.

00:07:10.879 --> 00:07:12.800
No, we have our walnut taco meat in there.

00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:16.879
It is one of our absolute favorites, and it literally takes about five minutes to make.

00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:19.120
It is so simple and so delicious.

00:07:19.279 --> 00:07:21.199
Then look at creamy pastas.

00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:24.240
If you like creamy pastas and you think, what am I gonna eat?

00:07:24.480 --> 00:07:28.079
Start eating whole grain pasta if you eat gluten-free.

00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:29.519
We recommend Jovial Brand.

00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:30.800
We absolutely love it.

00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:32.000
Just don't overcook it.

00:07:32.079 --> 00:07:33.920
You don't want mushy pasta, right?

00:07:34.079 --> 00:07:36.160
And then get a creamy sauce on there.

00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:49.439
If you're like me and you're a cheese lover and you're a dairy queen like I used to be, you can switch and still have cheesy, creamy dairy things that you absolutely love that light you up from the inside out and make you feel amazing.

00:07:49.680 --> 00:07:51.199
This is how you're gonna make it stick.

00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:52.879
One new favorite, one new favorite.

00:07:52.959 --> 00:07:53.680
And start there.

00:07:53.759 --> 00:08:01.040
If you're not willing to do some of the next things that we talk about, this is going to start giving you some wins, help you start gaining momentum.

00:08:01.199 --> 00:08:05.120
And then as you find those new favorites, I want you to write them down right where you found them.

00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:09.920
If it was in the original cookbook, write down Power and Plant's original cookbook and write the recipe name.

00:08:10.079 --> 00:08:18.959
So if you loved Fettuccine Alfredo before, you're gonna get that new whole grain pasta in its place, and you're going to put on there our favorite Alfredo sauce.

00:08:19.120 --> 00:08:21.920
This sauce, again, literally takes five minutes.

00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:24.879
Stop believing the lie of the enemy that this takes too long.

00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:28.079
I'm a busy entrepreneur, I'm a kingdom leader, I have all these things going on, Anita.

00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:29.439
You don't understand, I don't have time.

00:08:29.600 --> 00:08:33.600
This is literally the quickest, the easiest way we have ever cooked.

00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:34.879
Some of it's not even cooked.

00:08:34.960 --> 00:08:35.600
You can do raw.

00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:36.320
So think about that.

00:08:36.399 --> 00:08:37.279
Wrap your mind around it.

00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:38.879
You're believing these lies about things.

00:08:38.960 --> 00:08:45.519
And as we go today, you're gonna see how simple this really can be when you have the right tools in your hand that help you get results.

00:08:45.679 --> 00:08:48.240
And people absolutely love our Alfredo sauce.

00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:51.440
We've gotten so many compliments at just how much they enjoy it.

00:08:51.600 --> 00:08:56.320
So the date night fettuccine alfredo recipe is in the Power on Plants original cookbook.

00:08:56.399 --> 00:09:00.320
And you'll find our favorite walnut taco meat inside the Thrive cookbook bundle.

00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:03.360
And those are at poweronplants.com forward slash cookbook.

00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:07.200
The second method, stick to your ribs comfort meals.

00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:12.240
This is what you want to be looking for, not just new replacements of your old favorites that you absolutely love.

00:09:12.320 --> 00:09:17.039
These might be some new meals that you find comforting that kind of make you feel like you're home.

00:09:17.200 --> 00:09:23.679
We recommend these most at lunch because the truth is your body does best if your largest meal is not dinner.

00:09:23.840 --> 00:09:27.759
You'll sleep better and you're going to notice the difference in your health when you do this.

00:09:27.919 --> 00:09:30.480
I know what you're thinking, Anita, I don't have time to make lunch.

00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:31.919
It's the busiest part of my day.

00:09:32.080 --> 00:09:32.639
Don't worry.

00:09:32.799 --> 00:09:36.960
These are the things you can pull together the night before and simply reheat them at lunchtime.

00:09:37.120 --> 00:09:48.960
And if you don't hate eating leftovers, you can make larger batches of them to save even more valuable time because you've been missing out on the stick to your ribs satisfaction with your meals every time you try to get healthy.

00:09:49.120 --> 00:09:52.879
You're pushing through, you're doing all the crazy dieting things, and that involves hanger.

00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:54.720
And we are not about hanger here.

00:09:54.879 --> 00:09:57.759
You want to escape that and that dieting mentality.

00:09:57.919 --> 00:10:00.320
That's what caused most people to fail.

00:10:00.559 --> 00:10:11.919
But leaders, take this method we're giving you today, getting these stick to your ribs comfort meals on your food list, on your food plan, and get those into place for yourself a couple of times a week.

00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:14.799
And before long, you're going to start finding those new favorites.

00:10:14.879 --> 00:10:16.639
And remember, what do we do when we find those?

00:10:17.039 --> 00:10:18.000
We write them down.

00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:22.960
If you said write them down like Jared did, then you are on the right track.

00:10:23.200 --> 00:10:28.879
It seems so simple, but it's one of those things that's going to shift everything for you because you are a busy leader.

00:10:29.039 --> 00:10:32.320
You do not have time to have to think back through where did I find that meal?

00:10:32.480 --> 00:10:33.039
Where was it?

00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:33.919
What was it I made?

00:10:34.080 --> 00:10:35.120
What was it I put in it?

00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:41.759
You make a simple note somewhere that's easy for you to keep up, what the name of the meal was, which cookbook you found it in, was it in original?

00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:42.559
Was it in Thrive?

00:10:42.720 --> 00:10:43.679
Was it on some website?

00:10:43.919 --> 00:10:45.840
Wherever it was, you write that down.

00:10:46.080 --> 00:10:48.480
Any changes you made, you write that down too.

00:10:48.639 --> 00:10:49.440
It's that simple.

00:10:49.600 --> 00:10:51.840
And it will keep you from mental fatigue.

00:10:51.919 --> 00:10:59.200
You're going to waste so much time if you try to rely on your brain to remember these things when you have all these other things in your mind that you have to remember.

00:10:59.360 --> 00:11:07.440
Imagine the possibility of just pulling up a list that you've made over time where it just started with one thing on it and then it had three, and then it had 10, 20, 100, 1000.

00:11:07.519 --> 00:11:09.120
I'm not kidding when I say a thousand.

00:11:09.279 --> 00:11:12.639
There are more options for you eating this way that we're going to show you.

00:11:12.720 --> 00:11:21.120
And it is going to be the simplest, the quickest, the least time consuming, the most body-fueling way you can imagine to eat, and the most enjoyable too.

00:11:21.200 --> 00:11:22.720
And that's why it's going to stick.

00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:30.159
And I find that this is true in most of life, that the best solutions, the most impactful solutions are the simplest ones.

00:11:30.320 --> 00:11:34.960
So don't discount it just because it's a simple or quote unquote easy idea.

00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:37.360
Just do it, thank us later.

00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:43.679
And I know you're not going to do that because you're going to value the simplest, most enjoyable things because you're busy and you don't have time for the fluff.

00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:46.240
So these are the warm, comforting, familiar meals.

00:11:46.399 --> 00:11:51.039
This could be another upgrade of an old favorite, but the key to this step is comforting.

00:11:51.200 --> 00:11:57.919
Some examples are lasagnas and stews, chilies and casseroles, bowls with hearty sauces.

00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:01.679
You're going to find tons of those five-minute sauces or less.

00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:04.639
Mostly they're like one-minute sauces once you've made them one time.

00:12:04.799 --> 00:12:10.559
And you're going to find those waiting for you already written out and ready to go inside our Power Implants cookbook bundles.

00:12:10.720 --> 00:12:21.360
Because if you're making bowls and you're making salads, you're going to need those go-to sauces that you absolutely love and can eat on repeat and can have prepared in minutes, not hours.

00:12:21.600 --> 00:12:24.399
That's the reality of life as a purpose-driven leader, right?

00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:25.679
We don't have time to waste.

00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:29.440
Number three, fill your days with powerhouse options.

00:12:29.600 --> 00:12:32.399
These are the eat on repeat nutritional bombs.

00:12:32.559 --> 00:12:35.919
This step is about packing abundant meals into your day.

00:12:36.080 --> 00:12:39.519
Meals that are loaded, colorful, varied, and decisive.

00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:41.919
These are the ones that you can eat on repeat.

00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:48.559
We have an upcoming episode with Chris Work that you don't want to miss, and he shares about his giant cancer fighting salad.

00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:49.919
This is what we're talking about.

00:12:50.080 --> 00:12:53.039
Things that will fuel your body and fuel it powerfully.

00:12:53.200 --> 00:12:56.559
And you can eat these over and over again because they're that good.

00:12:56.799 --> 00:13:00.159
Listen, this upcoming episode with Chris is like pure gold.

00:13:00.399 --> 00:13:01.519
Do not miss it.

00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:06.000
Just like this episode, it's one of the ones that can shift and change everything for you.

00:13:06.159 --> 00:13:08.320
We show up week after week to do this.

00:13:08.399 --> 00:13:11.840
And now we're bringing in the guests that are going to change your life.

00:13:12.000 --> 00:13:14.639
If you don't know who Chris Work is, it's time you found out.

00:13:14.720 --> 00:13:20.399
Because what I know is this either your life or someone else that you love has been touched or affected by cancer.

00:13:20.639 --> 00:13:30.960
Like we said at the very top of this episode, we do not want you to have to reach a place in your life where after going and pushing and striving, you have a diagnosis that you don't want to face.

00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:33.279
Something that has to be dealt with at that moment.

00:13:33.440 --> 00:13:37.759
Start putting these things into practice that we're sharing with you today so you don't get to that place.

00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:39.120
That's our heart for you.

00:13:39.360 --> 00:13:43.120
Because this is the optimal way your body was created to be fueled.

00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:43.759
How do we know?

00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:46.559
Because we can look right at Genesis 129 and see it.

00:13:46.720 --> 00:13:50.000
Look it up in your Bible, read it aloud, and meditate on it.

00:13:50.159 --> 00:13:51.600
This is God's original way.

00:13:51.759 --> 00:13:53.360
Yes, he allows men to do a lot of things.

00:13:53.440 --> 00:13:56.720
He allows men to have kings, but it's not his original desire for people.

00:13:56.799 --> 00:13:59.200
And he told them when he gave them kings, you know what?

00:13:59.360 --> 00:14:00.399
This is not my plan.

00:14:00.480 --> 00:14:01.759
I'm gonna let you do this thing.

00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:03.759
He allows us to do a lot of things.

00:14:03.919 --> 00:14:07.679
But what I want you to think about is what is God's original plan for my body?

00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:11.440
And why does science, year after year after year, back this up?

00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:19.919
Why do we look at the radiologic studies and see vessels reopening when people start following the way that we're teaching you how to eat?

00:14:20.080 --> 00:14:25.679
When it sticks and you're finally feeling good, it's because the blood in your body is now able to get where it's supposed to go.

00:14:25.840 --> 00:14:34.799
The nutrients get in, the garbage gets out, your gut starts working because it's properly fueled and it has the blood flowing to it, and your heart and your lungs.

00:14:35.039 --> 00:14:41.120
This is why it works for so many diseases to prevent and even reverse them.

00:14:41.279 --> 00:14:45.679
We on repeat see our clients reverse type 2 diabetes.

00:14:45.759 --> 00:14:48.559
It is not a sugar problem, it is a fat problem.

00:14:48.720 --> 00:14:55.679
We don't have time to go into that today, but I do want to say this if you're looking at a way to eat to heal, just march it out over time.

00:14:55.840 --> 00:14:58.080
So let's talk about these powerhouse options.

00:14:58.240 --> 00:15:01.600
You can use a powerhouse salad formula to start today.

00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:06.720
You would always want to keep the things on hand that you make these with so you can make them on repeat.

00:15:06.799 --> 00:15:10.720
Yes, of course you can vary up the ingredients, but make them on repeat is the key.

00:15:10.879 --> 00:15:11.919
Make it simple for yourself.

00:15:12.000 --> 00:15:16.080
And over time, as you learn and hear of other things that you want to add in, sprinkle those on too.

00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:22.159
It doesn't have to be the same every day, but we're looking at ways to make this simple for you as a busy leader.

00:15:22.320 --> 00:15:30.240
So Chris shared with us that he had that salad and he made it on repeat every day and he put the same things in it and it fought cancer and he beat it.

00:15:30.320 --> 00:15:32.559
And he said sometimes he even ate it twice a day.

00:15:32.639 --> 00:15:35.840
You're not going to go wrong getting more raw and more of these things in your life.

00:15:35.919 --> 00:15:42.320
The problem is we think salad and we're thinking a little side salad or we're thinking something without the stick to your ribs ingredients.

00:15:42.559 --> 00:15:44.639
We want you to make stick to your ribs salads.

00:15:44.799 --> 00:15:46.639
If you don't know how to do that, go back.

00:15:46.720 --> 00:15:53.039
There's literally 370 episodes on here where we have mentioned stick to your rib salads and shown you step by step how to make those.

00:15:53.120 --> 00:15:59.120
All you have to do is get inside our community at powerimplants.com forward slash PPN.

00:15:59.279 --> 00:16:01.840
That stands for Peak Performance Network.

00:16:01.919 --> 00:16:04.799
Again, that's powerimplants.com forward slash PPN.

00:16:05.039 --> 00:16:07.519
In there, there is a little magnifying glass.

00:16:07.600 --> 00:16:11.200
This is for you, even if you're already in and you're not using this function, it's a no-brainer.

00:16:11.360 --> 00:16:12.399
Start using it today.

00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:13.360
It's going to change your life.

00:16:13.519 --> 00:16:21.200
Jared and I have set this up to give you maximum wins so that you can get out there and fully live the life God's called you to live.

00:16:21.360 --> 00:16:22.879
Your people are waiting for you.

00:16:23.039 --> 00:16:28.960
They need answers, and you need to feel your best so you can show up for your family, your friends, and your calling.

00:16:29.120 --> 00:16:33.840
So when you get into Peak Performance Network, immediately get on your desktop.

00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:36.399
I don't care if you're not always on your desktop at night.

00:16:36.480 --> 00:16:40.080
Whenever you're on it, go on there, log into Peak Performance Network.

00:16:40.240 --> 00:16:44.559
Of course, you have it on your phone, but this is set up to work on your desktop.

00:16:44.720 --> 00:16:50.159
So hit that little magnifying glass down in the corner and type in any term you want to hear us talk about.

00:16:50.320 --> 00:16:54.960
In this case, it's going to be salad or stick to your ribs.

00:16:55.200 --> 00:16:59.200
Type that in, press the magnifying glass, and boom, it is going to search for you.

00:16:59.360 --> 00:17:04.400
And every episode wherever we have said that word, it will pull up that exact moment.

00:17:04.720 --> 00:17:10.559
I'm not just talking about titles where that's all we talked about, but in every single episode.

00:17:10.720 --> 00:17:15.359
If you have not done this and you've listened this far, go right now and do it.

00:17:15.680 --> 00:17:17.440
What are you waiting for?

00:17:17.680 --> 00:17:25.119
It's not going to cost you anything, but a few seconds to enter your information so we can get you in the group and you can start getting results.

00:17:25.279 --> 00:17:36.079
You could search an ingredient that you have in your refrigerator that you want to know how to use more of pumpkin seeds, tofu, dandelion greens, kale, whatever it is, type that in.

00:17:36.160 --> 00:17:36.960
What you need to know.

00:17:37.119 --> 00:17:40.000
It is going to get you started and help you gain momentum.

00:17:40.160 --> 00:17:44.160
So on this powerhouse salad formula, look at loading up your greens first.

00:17:44.480 --> 00:17:50.480
Dark leafies and red leafies, like red leaf lettuce, romaines that are darker.

00:17:50.880 --> 00:17:53.519
If you have a choice between greens, always go for darker.

00:17:53.680 --> 00:18:02.559
Butter lettuces, even kale, arugula, dandelion greens, cabbage, greens and purples, sprouts, broccoli, clover, radish sprouts.

00:18:02.640 --> 00:18:04.480
Okay, so you've loaded up your greens base.

00:18:04.559 --> 00:18:07.599
Now you're gonna add on the cruciferous power.

00:18:07.839 --> 00:18:11.200
Yes, we have a lot of cruciferous in our base, but why not add more?

00:18:11.359 --> 00:18:14.640
We know it's a cancer-fighting powerhouse and it busts inflammation.

00:18:14.799 --> 00:18:16.319
So add on more of it.

00:18:16.480 --> 00:18:20.240
More cruciferous with your broccoli, your cauliflower, and your Brussels sprouts.

00:18:20.400 --> 00:18:25.279
Then we're looking at flavor and health boosters that should always be on your salad.

00:18:25.440 --> 00:18:30.559
Raw garlic, onions, leeks, green onions, fresh herbs.

00:18:30.720 --> 00:18:33.200
Get in your cabinet and get those herbs on there.

00:18:33.279 --> 00:18:34.160
What are you waiting for?

00:18:34.319 --> 00:18:36.079
Fresh obviously isn't going to be in your cabinet.

00:18:36.160 --> 00:18:37.039
It's going to be in your fridge.

00:18:37.200 --> 00:18:38.000
Pull them out of there.

00:18:38.079 --> 00:18:41.039
Or fresh might be in your garden or on your windowsill.

00:18:41.119 --> 00:18:43.519
That's another way to get those very simply.

00:18:43.680 --> 00:18:44.799
I don't care how you do it.

00:18:44.960 --> 00:18:49.519
Get the healing herbs on your salad and sauerkraut and fermented veggies.

00:18:49.680 --> 00:18:51.599
Chris also broke that down for you.

00:18:51.759 --> 00:19:03.680
If you have gone through our accelerator program and you're one of our alumni, I want you to get in there right now and watch our insider exclusive interview that we did with Chris following the podcast.

00:19:03.759 --> 00:19:05.839
It is waiting for you inside alumni.

00:19:06.079 --> 00:19:08.400
Listen, we're dropping pure gold for you in there.

00:19:08.640 --> 00:19:12.319
Make sure you do not miss this if you're one of our alumni already.

00:19:12.400 --> 00:19:14.240
And if you're not, why not?

00:19:14.400 --> 00:19:15.680
Again, it's a no-brainer.

00:19:15.839 --> 00:19:19.200
All you have to do to get inside alumni is go through our accelerator program.

00:19:19.279 --> 00:19:21.119
We're going to tell you more about that in a second.

00:19:21.279 --> 00:19:36.240
But this is where things get so much simpler because we're going to walk you through the path for how to start feeling your best so that you can actually get out there and see God's kingdom come through your life in ways that you've never been able to do before because your body kept holding you back.

00:19:36.400 --> 00:19:40.079
Then I always think about sprinkling on the fats, the stick to your ribs things.

00:19:40.240 --> 00:19:50.240
These are things like potatoes and beans and seeds, nuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, walnuts, almonds, deliciousness, avocado.

00:19:50.480 --> 00:19:54.000
Even on top, put your ground flax seeds, your ground chia seeds.

00:19:54.079 --> 00:19:54.960
It's a great way to get them.

00:19:55.119 --> 00:19:56.720
I say don't stir it into your salad.

00:19:56.880 --> 00:19:59.440
Maybe go ahead and put your dressing on before and then sprinkle them on top.

00:19:59.519 --> 00:19:59.839
Why?

00:20:00.400 --> 00:20:03.039
Because it'll keep your salad from getting thick and goopy.

00:20:03.119 --> 00:20:04.480
Try it now, thank me later.

00:20:04.640 --> 00:20:07.519
Okay, so these salads are gonna satisfy you deeply.

00:20:07.680 --> 00:20:10.400
They're gonna deliver massive phytonutrient variety.

00:20:10.559 --> 00:20:15.759
They call them inflammation, support detox, and become an automatic once the system is set.

00:20:15.920 --> 00:20:18.400
This same concept applies to powerhouse smoothies.

00:20:18.559 --> 00:20:19.359
Dark greens.

00:20:19.440 --> 00:20:24.079
If you think you don't like the flavor of kale, start with a little bit and increase the amount as you go on.

00:20:24.240 --> 00:20:25.519
You can also start with spinach.

00:20:25.599 --> 00:20:26.480
It's a milder green.

00:20:26.640 --> 00:20:27.519
It is a milder green.

00:20:27.599 --> 00:20:29.920
But I think Jared says here.

00:20:30.079 --> 00:20:32.720
You know, you want to get to the point where you're packing more and more greens.

00:20:32.799 --> 00:20:33.759
Start with less.

00:20:33.920 --> 00:20:35.599
Your taste buds are going to change fast.

00:20:35.759 --> 00:20:39.839
Then start putting more and more in there until the greens are almost to the top and you do what Jared says.

00:20:39.920 --> 00:20:40.559
What do you say?

00:20:40.880 --> 00:20:41.519
Punch it.

00:20:41.839 --> 00:20:42.640
Punch it down.

00:20:42.799 --> 00:20:43.599
Pack it full.

00:20:44.240 --> 00:20:46.640
Our smoothies are probably 80% kale.

00:20:46.880 --> 00:20:47.200
Yes.

00:20:47.359 --> 00:20:48.079
And we love it.

00:20:48.240 --> 00:20:49.039
We absolutely love it.

00:20:49.279 --> 00:20:50.079
Minimum 80%.

00:20:50.319 --> 00:20:53.599
Sometimes you're eating 90 plus percent kale, and you don't even know it, do you?

00:20:54.640 --> 00:20:57.599
Probably not, because a lot of times I just drink what they give me.

00:20:58.319 --> 00:21:00.799
But you but you don't have to power through as the great.

00:21:01.359 --> 00:21:01.839
I love them.

00:21:02.160 --> 00:21:02.720
Absolutely love them.

00:21:02.880 --> 00:21:03.359
It's so funny.

00:21:03.440 --> 00:21:04.880
Your body gets to the point where you crave it.

00:21:05.039 --> 00:21:09.119
You know, one of our clients that we've been working with for years, she has gotten such incredible results.

00:21:09.200 --> 00:21:11.119
And that's just what happens when you do this.

00:21:11.279 --> 00:21:15.599
When you follow the accelerator blueprint, the system works when you work it.

00:21:15.759 --> 00:21:16.799
It works when you work it.

00:21:16.960 --> 00:21:20.960
All you have to do is just plug in and give yourself a few minutes every day.

00:21:21.200 --> 00:21:24.160
You're going to start seeing massive results like Robin did.

00:21:24.240 --> 00:21:28.240
Again, she was one of our first clients before we even had accelerator all mapped out.

00:21:28.400 --> 00:21:36.400
But because she spent time with us and walked through these different things that we teach you how to do inside accelerator, she got results.

00:21:36.559 --> 00:21:37.359
Now you have the system.

00:21:37.440 --> 00:21:38.799
One, two, three, four, five.

00:21:38.880 --> 00:21:40.559
It's going to get you there so much faster.

00:21:40.720 --> 00:21:43.119
That's why we call it Accelerator.

00:21:43.599 --> 00:21:43.920
Right.

00:21:44.000 --> 00:21:46.319
I was about to say she got there quickly.

00:21:46.559 --> 00:21:49.519
She got there quickly, but she didn't even have the one, two, three, four, five path.

00:21:49.599 --> 00:21:52.960
This was the beginning when we were just starting to help people get results.

00:21:53.039 --> 00:21:58.559
And Robin got results and she got them rather quickly, but the blueprint is going to get you faster than ever.

00:21:58.720 --> 00:22:00.000
So this is what happened for Robin.

00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:01.119
This is why I'm sharing this.

00:22:01.279 --> 00:22:03.519
Her husband, Jimmy, is amazing.

00:22:03.680 --> 00:22:06.160
Now, I know what you're probably thinking, my spouse will never do this.

00:22:06.240 --> 00:22:07.200
It's going to be hard for me.

00:22:07.279 --> 00:22:11.759
No, you just decide what's going to help you to leave the legacy that you want to leave.

00:22:11.839 --> 00:22:15.680
And you have to start doing what's best for yourself because I promise you, eating this way is contagious.

00:22:15.839 --> 00:22:21.359
People start seeing, well, first of all, if they live in the house with you, they're going to start smelling and wanting to taste what you're making.

00:22:21.519 --> 00:22:21.759
Yes.

00:22:22.000 --> 00:22:23.119
They're going to get curious.

00:22:23.279 --> 00:22:24.640
It will build curiosity.

00:22:24.799 --> 00:22:26.319
And this is what happened to Jimmy.

00:22:26.400 --> 00:22:28.880
So he wasn't against her eating this way.

00:22:29.039 --> 00:22:31.359
He just wasn't interested in it at the time for himself.

00:22:31.519 --> 00:22:32.880
So he watches her.

00:22:33.039 --> 00:22:35.359
She starts eating this way and he's smelling it.

00:22:35.440 --> 00:22:36.799
And then he starts tasting it.

00:22:36.880 --> 00:22:39.680
And before long, it's a taste of C, you know, and he cares about her.

00:22:39.839 --> 00:22:45.119
So he didn't want her to have to be cooking multiple things, which by the way, you don't really have to do that.

00:22:45.200 --> 00:22:53.279
We're going to show you ways and what to do and how to navigate having a spouse who isn't on board so that you're not having to cook two meals and be a short-order cook.

00:22:53.359 --> 00:22:54.960
We show you all that inside accelerator.

00:22:55.119 --> 00:22:56.319
But again, this was the beginning.

00:22:56.400 --> 00:22:59.359
So Robin's thinking, you know, maybe I have to cook two meals.

00:22:59.440 --> 00:23:00.720
And he saw her doing that sometimes.

00:23:00.799 --> 00:23:03.039
And he was thinking, you know, I like some of these things.

00:23:03.119 --> 00:23:08.720
Why doesn't she just start cooking one meal on the days that she's cooking that thing that I know I like?

00:23:08.799 --> 00:23:11.920
And before long, it was one meal and another meal and another meal.

00:23:12.000 --> 00:23:16.880
And he's not still a hundred percent in, but he is so far in that he has gone to his cardiologist.

00:23:16.960 --> 00:23:22.319
And his cardiologist has said to him a few years back, hey, your heart age is three years older than your actual age.

00:23:22.400 --> 00:23:31.680
And he went, This time, just recently, went to his cardiologist who said to him, Jimmy, your heart age is now four years younger than your actual age.

00:23:31.839 --> 00:23:36.000
So he has reversed his heart age by seven years.

00:23:36.160 --> 00:23:39.119
Let your mind wrap around that seven years.

00:23:39.279 --> 00:23:40.720
What would happen for your body?

00:23:40.880 --> 00:23:42.720
What would become possible for you?

00:23:42.880 --> 00:23:54.480
All the dreams and goals that you have for your business, for your life, for making memories with your family, for being there, for your children, your grandchildren, running and living this life full on instead of living it from a bed somewhere.

00:23:54.640 --> 00:23:56.240
We don't just want extended life.

00:23:56.400 --> 00:23:57.920
We want full life.

00:23:58.079 --> 00:24:00.000
You're already having some impact in your business.

00:24:00.079 --> 00:24:03.599
You know the strategies, you know what you want to implement to get to the next level.

00:24:03.759 --> 00:24:06.880
But you can't do it with a body that keeps bottlenecking your business.

00:24:07.039 --> 00:24:08.079
So this is how you do it.

00:24:08.160 --> 00:24:14.240
So Jimmy starts eating this way, and his cholesterol has even reversed substantially plummeted.

00:24:14.480 --> 00:24:18.319
I mean, absolutely plummeted to where he has a healthy cholesterol level now.

00:24:18.480 --> 00:24:19.359
It was very high.

00:24:19.519 --> 00:24:23.039
So all that to say, green smoothies.

00:24:23.119 --> 00:24:26.720
So what Robin did was she started making him green smoothies.

00:24:27.039 --> 00:24:28.799
He didn't like it when they tasted like green.

00:24:28.880 --> 00:24:30.240
So she said, you know what, Anita?

00:24:30.400 --> 00:24:34.319
I just put in there whatever he liked the flavor of that would kind of mask that.

00:24:34.400 --> 00:24:39.599
So she started drizzling in a little peanut butter, oil-free peanut butter, just peanuts, nothing else.

00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:40.799
Look at those ingredients.

00:24:40.880 --> 00:24:41.599
It's super important.

00:24:41.680 --> 00:24:43.119
So she started drizzling that in.

00:24:43.200 --> 00:24:51.599
And before long, because of how quickly your taste buds change eating this way, he started coming in from work saying, Robin, I want a green smoothie for dinner.

00:24:51.759 --> 00:24:52.799
That's what he wanted.

00:24:52.960 --> 00:24:55.599
Now his body craves it and he's eating them on the regular.

00:24:55.759 --> 00:24:57.759
Wonder what that's gonna do for the hard age, right?

00:24:57.839 --> 00:25:00.720
So now he's added this new thing and it's more raw.

00:25:00.880 --> 00:25:11.279
And it's all these power-packed things that Jared was talking about, the dark greens, then berries, ground flax, ground chia, seeds, nuts to give you that nut milky flavor.

00:25:11.440 --> 00:25:14.319
Not a lot of them because it's gonna make it thick, but a few.

00:25:14.480 --> 00:25:17.839
And eat the ones that you don't normally eat and then blend it smooth.

00:25:18.000 --> 00:25:21.599
Have a high-speed blender because no one wants a green chunky, right?

00:25:21.759 --> 00:25:26.480
If you've been doing this long enough, you might have started with some green chunky regret, but we show you how to make them smooth.

00:25:26.559 --> 00:25:27.599
You do not want to do that.

00:25:27.680 --> 00:25:28.640
Just let it blend.

00:25:28.880 --> 00:25:31.680
I've never seen on a menu a green chunky.

00:25:32.079 --> 00:25:33.680
There's a reason for that.

00:25:34.079 --> 00:25:37.119
And step four, go all in for a short defined season.

00:25:37.359 --> 00:25:39.039
