Another January.

Another promise to yourself that this is the year you finally get healthy.

But deep down, you're already wondering if this time will be any different. Because you've tried. You really have. You know the Girl Scout Cookies aren't helping, but you love them, and were going to eat just one… yet here you are with every single row gone!

You look in the mirror and think, "How did I even get here?"

And the worst thought of all? "What if my body gives out before my assignment is complete?"

Here's what we've learned after working with countless leaders who felt the exact same way: You think you have a discipline or willpower problem, but in reality there are five specific things that have been quietly sabotaging you.

Once you identify and fix them, you can finally become the fully powered version of yourself.

In this episode, we walk through all five:

- why you keep reaching for foods you know aren't helping you

- why your best intentions fall apart by Wednesday

- how to finally make healthy eating stick without feeling like you hate the method that's getting you there

Your energy can be optimized. Your mind can be crystal clear. And your body can completely support you in showing up confidently for every Kingdom assignment God brings your way.

So if you're tired of starting over, press play and let's make this the year you finally step into everything you know you're capable of, with the body that's ready to go the distance.

00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:51.519
I had a conversation on the beach with a total stranger yesterday.

00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:53.280
Somehow we ended up talking about eggs.

00:01:53.359 --> 00:01:56.240
And he says, Yeah, I mean, elk is so confusing, right?

00:01:56.400 --> 00:01:58.000
He said, First you hear eggs are healthy.

00:01:58.079 --> 00:01:59.359
Then you hear eggs aren't healthy.

00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:01.520
Then you hear, they're the healthiest food again.

00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:03.359
And actually, it's the yolk you need to eat.

00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:04.960
And then you hear, no, you need to eat the white.

00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:05.680
Don't eat the yolk.

00:02:05.760 --> 00:02:06.400
It's not healthy.

00:02:06.480 --> 00:02:08.639
And so it's back and forth and back and forth.

00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:10.400
But you know what hasn't changed?

00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:12.800
Talking about the eggs flip-flopping back and forth.

00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:14.639
You know what hasn't changed ever?

00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:15.360
Wait.

00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:24.240
Welcome to the Power on Plants Podcast, home of the purpose-driven men and women who refuse to let their body become the bottleneck to their God-given calling.

00:02:24.480 --> 00:02:38.480
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 laughs aren't great, and you're wondering how much longer can I keep pushing like this?

00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:40.400
It's time to fix the fuel.

00:02:40.639 --> 00:02:46.879
You've accomplished a lot in life, so you know you don't have a discipline problem and you're not just getting older.

00:02:47.039 --> 00:02:50.800
Your body needs the strategy that matches your assignment.

00:02:51.039 --> 00:03:01.600
Whole plant foods the exciting, sustainable way that fuel razor shark focus, optimize energy, reverse inflammation, and the most common chronic diseases of our time.

00:03:01.759 --> 00:03:04.159
All while you enjoy every single bite.

00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:12.719
So if you're done feeling older than you are and you're ready to show up strong, think clearly, multiply your impact, and actually love the meals that move you to optimal health.

00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:14.400
You're exactly where you need to be.

00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:19.040
So grab your earbuds and let's maximize your power on plants.

00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:34.719
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 start showing up completely so it supports the calling God has placed on your life.

00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:38.879
I'm Anita Roussel, a nurse and certified integrative nutrition health coach.

00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:43.439
And I'm Jared Roussel, a physician assistant and lifestyle medicine professional.

00:03:43.600 --> 00:03:49.840
Each week we show you how to fuel your body with whole plant foods the simple, enjoyable, real life way.

00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:57.039
So energy returns, inflammation calms, labs improve, and your physical capacity completely matches your assignment.

00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:00.400
Can you believe here we are in 2026?

00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:11.439
And if you find yourself thinking, I just want my body to finally feel good so I can show up and be able to fully live this amazing life God's called me to.

00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:12.960
This is your year.

00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:21.920
Jared and I know that you have all these dreams and these visions that God's placed on your heart, but your body has to be completely powered to fully back you up, right?

00:04:22.159 --> 00:04:22.879
Absolutely.

00:04:23.120 --> 00:04:28.720
Here's what we've learned after coaching countless leaders out of their body limiting their calling.

00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:33.279
You've been missing five crucial keys that make healthy eating actually stick.

00:04:33.519 --> 00:04:39.039
So today we're going to walk you through all five and share the solution that lasts.

00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:44.159
The first thing that's been keeping you stuck is that you have the wrong mindset.

00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:49.519
Now there's a lot of things at play here, but what we know is that we all have a common enemy.

00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:57.199
As Christian leaders, as purpose-driven entrepreneurs, we have an enemy who does not want us to advance God's kingdom on this earth.

00:04:57.360 --> 00:04:59.279
So we are all in this common battle.

00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:06.080
God's placed this dream, this desire on our heart to get something out there to help people, to bring his kingdom to this earth.

00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:09.680
How can we do that if we don't have the body that will back us up?

00:05:09.840 --> 00:05:23.360
And so over time, what the enemy's done is he has used these certain avenues to bring these lies about what we need to do to get and stay healthy into our world.

00:05:23.600 --> 00:05:30.000
These lies come through the same avenues, the same paths to you over and over and over again.

00:05:30.159 --> 00:05:30.879
And guess what?

00:05:31.039 --> 00:05:32.639
The lies don't change up either.

00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:37.039
They're the same old blooming lies he's been using time and time again.

00:05:37.279 --> 00:05:43.439
And one of the first lies that we want to talk to you about today is that getting healthy is difficult.

00:05:43.759 --> 00:05:46.240
This cannot be farther from the truth.

00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:47.840
Because I want you to think about this.

00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:55.439
If you're doing a method that's difficult or that you don't enjoy, that's another way that you could say difficult, you don't enjoy it.

00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:58.800
You can make yourself do it for a while and even get some results.

00:05:58.879 --> 00:06:00.720
And maybe you can push through for 12 months.

00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:06.000
But you get to the end of that time, and let's just say you've achieved the results you were after.

00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:10.959
Please stop and ask yourself, what is going to keep me there?

00:06:11.280 --> 00:06:19.600
Because if you're not doing something that excites you and that is enjoyable, so enjoyable you would never even dream of going back.

00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:22.959
And then on top of that, you add the results that actually last.

00:06:23.040 --> 00:06:26.240
Like what's going on on the inside is changing your life.

00:06:26.399 --> 00:06:28.240
It's reversing the bad labs.

00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:29.680
It's making you feel amazing.

00:06:29.759 --> 00:06:36.000
So now you're showing up to fully live your calling and you see God's kingdom coming to earth through your life every single day.

00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:38.240
There is nothing more exciting than that.

00:06:38.399 --> 00:06:41.360
And we say you push through, but that's even if you get started.

00:06:41.519 --> 00:06:46.800
Sometimes we get so discouraged, just so dissuaded that we don't even bother getting started.

00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:50.560
We think, because we've seen somebody else do it, oh, this is just too hard.

00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:52.000
I'm not even going to bother trying.

00:06:52.160 --> 00:06:54.160
It's not even worth the risk and the failure.

00:06:54.319 --> 00:06:59.120
So I want you to ask yourself today, do I want to weigh myself every day for the rest of my life?

00:06:59.280 --> 00:07:04.319
Or do I want to track numbers every day or even weekly for the rest of my life?

00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:07.120
Macros, micros, grams, calories.

00:07:07.280 --> 00:07:14.160
Do I want to keep injecting myself regularly in the name of health or weight loss or maintaining weight loss for the rest of my life?

00:07:14.399 --> 00:07:19.680
Am I going to want to continue whatever method I'm setting myself up for doing?

00:07:19.839 --> 00:07:24.399
Am I going to want to continue that method that I'm setting myself up to do for the rest of my life?

00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:29.040
Why do I even want to have to push through for three, six, or 12 months through something I hate?

00:07:29.280 --> 00:07:34.800
Am I going to want to eat cabbage soup for the rest of my life because it has zero points in it, right?

00:07:34.959 --> 00:07:46.240
And that's an important concept too, because sometimes we get short-sighted where we just see, I need this solution now because I'm told it works, but we never really look at how does that march out over your life?

00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:51.120
Is this something that you would want to do two years, five years, 20 years down the road?

00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:56.480
What about when I want to get back to portions of food that actually leave me feeling satisfied, right?

00:07:56.639 --> 00:08:02.639
I mean, so many times you think you have to eat these tiny portions of food that would make a bird revolt, right?

00:08:02.720 --> 00:08:04.399
It's not going to work long term.

00:08:04.639 --> 00:08:08.319
You're eventually going to start piling more food on your plate.

00:08:08.480 --> 00:08:12.959
And if it's the wrong kind of food, you're not going to be able to maintain your results.

00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:21.759
But if you eat the lowest calorie foods on the planet and you know how to put those foods together in a way that's quick, simple, delicious, and brings healing naturally.

00:08:21.839 --> 00:08:24.639
And all of a sudden you're living the life you were created to live.

00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:26.399
Why would you even think about going back?

00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:37.200
The key is to learn how to finally escape dieting mentality once and for all for good and replacing it with truth thinking.

00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:42.879
So you want to escape diet thinking and replace it with truth thinking.

00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:45.680
That's the first mindset shift that has to be made.

00:08:45.920 --> 00:08:48.480
The dieting mentality holds us back.

00:08:48.639 --> 00:08:52.240
And I just want to say one more thing about injections because this is all the rage.

00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:53.600
We hear about it all the time.

00:08:53.839 --> 00:08:55.920
Jared gets calls about it as a provider.

00:08:56.160 --> 00:09:06.720
But the fact is, you can eat whole plant foods and naturally get the things that you're injecting into yourself when you decide to go the injection route.

00:09:06.879 --> 00:09:09.200
But the injection route comes with side effects.

00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:13.600
Please, anything that you're doing, march it out over time.

00:09:13.920 --> 00:09:20.000
Well, the key with the injections is they act like the natural hormone, but they are not the natural hormone.

00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:23.920
Me personally, I'd rather go the natural route, just saying.

00:09:24.079 --> 00:09:29.120
Yeah, because again, if you march out over time going the other route, there are going to be some things in there you don't like.

00:09:29.360 --> 00:09:35.519
Not just injecting yourself on a regular basis, the cost, but then what's the real cost of that?

00:09:35.759 --> 00:09:37.839
It's not a sustainable way of living.

00:09:37.920 --> 00:09:39.759
So we're looking at what's sustainable.

00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:42.559
Problem number two, overwhelm.

00:09:42.720 --> 00:09:46.079
Look, I had a conversation on the beach with a total stranger yesterday.

00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:47.920
Somehow we end up talking about eggs.

00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:50.799
And he says, Yeah, I mean, health is so confusing, right?

00:09:50.960 --> 00:09:56.079
He said, first you hear eggs are healthy, then you hear eggs aren't healthy, then you hear they're the healthiest food again.

00:09:56.240 --> 00:09:57.920
And actually, it's the yolk you need to eat.

00:09:58.000 --> 00:09:59.519
And then you hear, no, you need to eat the white.

00:09:59.600 --> 00:10:00.240
Don't eat the yolk.

00:10:00.319 --> 00:10:00.960
It's not healthy.

00:10:01.039 --> 00:10:02.879
And so it's back and forth and back and forth.

00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:09.120
What I want to say about that is any way of eating you choose, you must march it out over time.

00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:12.639
So any change in eating can bring some results.

00:10:12.799 --> 00:10:13.039
Why?

00:10:13.279 --> 00:10:17.279
Because you'll be changing up what you're doing and your body responds accordingly.

00:10:17.440 --> 00:10:21.680
You're probably not going to go on a diet and start eating more Cheetos or more cheeses.

00:10:21.839 --> 00:10:23.920
That's probably not a diet you're going to be doing.

00:10:24.160 --> 00:10:28.240
Even the unhealthy versions of quote, healthy diets, right?

00:10:28.400 --> 00:10:32.559
You're they're still going to say, don't eat as much of the junkiest junk food.

00:10:32.640 --> 00:10:34.079
So you're probably going to get some results.

00:10:34.240 --> 00:10:37.759
But what we want you to think about is what is going on on the inside.

00:10:38.000 --> 00:10:39.759
Are the arteries hardening?

00:10:39.920 --> 00:10:42.240
Are your gut bacteria suffering?

00:10:42.640 --> 00:10:46.160
All of these things affect so many other things.

00:10:46.319 --> 00:10:47.759
We don't have time to go into it right now.

00:10:47.839 --> 00:10:50.559
We've done that in many other podcast episodes.

00:10:50.880 --> 00:10:56.799
But march it out over time because you can do pretty much anything and get some results.

00:10:57.119 --> 00:10:59.359
But what is going on on the inside?

00:10:59.519 --> 00:11:00.799
March that out over time.

00:11:01.039 --> 00:11:02.400
But you know what hasn't changed?

00:11:02.559 --> 00:11:04.799
Talking about the eggs flip-flopping back and forth.

00:11:04.960 --> 00:11:05.440
They're healthy.

00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:06.160
They're not healthy.

00:11:06.240 --> 00:11:07.920
You know what hasn't changed ever?

00:11:08.160 --> 00:11:08.480
What?

00:11:08.640 --> 00:11:09.920
Genesis 129.

00:11:10.160 --> 00:11:12.480
Genesis 129 has never changed.

00:11:12.640 --> 00:11:12.960
Look it up.

00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:15.680
Look it up if you're not familiar with it.

00:11:15.839 --> 00:11:17.759
There's a lot more in the Bible about how to eat.

00:11:17.839 --> 00:11:20.480
But Genesis 129, you always go back to the original.

00:11:20.559 --> 00:11:23.279
You know, I heard a business leader that I listened to.

00:11:23.519 --> 00:11:26.160
He was talking about the rule or the law first mention in the Bible.

00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:32.559
And he said, if you go back to the first mention of something, when you look at it there, he said, God never changes.

00:11:32.720 --> 00:11:33.440
He never changes.

00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:40.400
So the rule of first mention and what he first talks about is his original design for that thing or how he wants things to function.

00:11:40.640 --> 00:11:45.920
And so you want to take that law and that rule and understand that this is the optimal way.

00:11:46.079 --> 00:11:47.440
This is the owner's manual.

00:11:47.519 --> 00:11:49.599
It's the optimal way you were created to function.

00:11:49.680 --> 00:11:51.440
So then it shouldn't surprise us, right?

00:11:51.519 --> 00:11:56.079
When we look at the studies and we see, hey, whole plant foods.

00:11:56.480 --> 00:12:07.759
When people are actually eat more of these, they get healthy, they lose weight, they no longer have the heart issues, they reverse type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, autoimmune disease, high cholesterol.

00:12:08.559 --> 00:12:10.960
We see this on the regular.

00:12:11.119 --> 00:12:13.519
It's not some isolated story.

00:12:13.839 --> 00:12:16.160
I cannot explain this to you enough.

00:12:16.319 --> 00:12:25.119
And if you can find the way to eat more whole plant foods that is simple, enjoyable, and that you love it so much you wouldn't dream of returning.

00:12:25.599 --> 00:12:26.960
You're you struck gold.

00:12:27.119 --> 00:12:28.559
You have absolutely struck gold.

00:12:28.640 --> 00:12:29.759
And that's what we do.

00:12:29.839 --> 00:12:31.599
It's how we live every day.

00:12:31.839 --> 00:12:34.559
I promise you, if we can do it, you can do it too.

00:12:34.880 --> 00:12:46.160
We see many other conditions, things like eczema, acne, various different skin conditions, these things, low energy, fatigue, fibromyalgia, gut bloating.

00:12:46.319 --> 00:12:48.640
We see these things get better as well.

00:12:48.880 --> 00:12:51.759
So it's not just the more serious chronic diseases.

00:12:51.839 --> 00:12:55.279
It can even be some of those things that aren't life-threatening, but just bug you.

00:12:55.440 --> 00:12:57.519
They're just always there nagging at you.

00:12:57.680 --> 00:13:05.440
You look in the mirror, you've got the acne, you don't feel your best, maybe your confidence is a little lacking, and you just think, again, this is life.

00:13:05.599 --> 00:13:08.400
And that's just how it is, but that's not always true.

00:13:08.640 --> 00:13:13.039
I just think back to all the times that I used to go with my mom to all the different dieting programs.

00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:20.480
I mean, I've sat through so many and learned all the ways that they teach and all the things that they do.

00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:24.559
I could tell you backwards and forwards many of the different ways.

00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:29.839
But what I did never see her do was go, hey, this is so simple and not overwhelming.

00:13:29.920 --> 00:13:31.119
And I love it so much.

00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:33.440
I'd love to keep eating this tiny little portion.

00:13:33.599 --> 00:13:35.839
I'd love to keep doing all these different things.

00:13:36.000 --> 00:13:37.599
You march it out over time.

00:13:37.839 --> 00:13:39.839
The results never stick.

00:13:40.079 --> 00:13:43.440
If they don't stick, why are they not sticking?

00:13:43.680 --> 00:13:45.440
Why are they not sticking for me?

00:13:45.519 --> 00:13:46.559
I want you to ask that.

00:13:46.799 --> 00:13:47.519
I keep trying.

00:13:47.599 --> 00:13:48.960
I've tried so much, Anita.

00:13:49.200 --> 00:13:51.440
I seriously should have a nutrition degree right now.

00:13:51.599 --> 00:13:54.720
It's because they're not sticking for five different reasons.

00:13:54.880 --> 00:13:56.960
The first one we've just given you is mindset.

00:13:57.039 --> 00:13:58.640
We've just touched on two things today.

00:13:58.799 --> 00:14:03.839
There are so many lies our enemy tells you that lead to wrong mindsets.

00:14:04.000 --> 00:14:09.920
The way to break free is becoming aware of what those lies are because they're set.

00:14:10.000 --> 00:14:12.079
I mean, they're just the ones he uses all the time.

00:14:12.240 --> 00:14:13.519
It's not that creative.

00:14:13.680 --> 00:14:17.839
And then learn the way to replace them with the truth.

00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:20.079
And that is what will set you free.

00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:24.960
The second thing that is keeping you stuck is wrong environments.

00:14:25.119 --> 00:14:28.400
This is not just the things around you, although that's super important.

00:14:28.559 --> 00:14:42.400
Obviously, if you kept the Cheetos and Cheezets, and in my case, cheese around, you know, if you've got that there where you're always looking at it and it's in your favorite drawer or the main drawer you're staring at when you open your fridge, that becomes difficult.

00:14:42.640 --> 00:14:46.480
So you need to learn this kind of leaves me to five, which is simplifying things.

00:14:46.559 --> 00:14:49.680
One of the things in simplifying is the fact of who's around you.

00:14:49.839 --> 00:14:53.680
You know, if people in your house aren't doing it, but you want to eat whole food plant-based, well, what do you do?

00:14:53.839 --> 00:15:00.960
Well, you can put things in a place, rearrange your fridge so that you're not constantly staring at those things that sabotage your health.

00:15:01.039 --> 00:15:02.000
That's one simple way.

00:15:02.079 --> 00:15:03.680
We talk about many things in simple.

00:15:03.759 --> 00:15:11.279
I'm going to go back to point two, but I just wanted to point that out while we were talking about cheese, because sometimes there are things like that and you think, well, I can't because.

00:15:11.599 --> 00:15:23.839
But once you shoot down all those reasons why I can't, and you realize, hey, I could do this and I could do this in a way that I set up my environment where the things around me set me up for success.

00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:30.480
But then not only that, the people, I have a supportive environment, a supportive community, supportive coaches.

00:15:30.640 --> 00:15:32.079
I know exactly where to go.

00:15:32.240 --> 00:15:33.680
And I'm so busy, right?

00:15:33.839 --> 00:15:35.359
So we think, I don't have time for all this.

00:15:35.440 --> 00:15:36.400
How am I going to learn all this?

00:15:36.480 --> 00:15:41.359
Well, I can promise you it's going to be way faster if you don't try to YouTube and piece it all together.

00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:43.359
You're going to need a system.

00:15:43.440 --> 00:15:53.680
And when you have a five-step system that works, you're going to skyrocket yourself there because you're a busy leader, you have a lot on your plate, you do not have time for all this trying to figure it out.

00:15:53.839 --> 00:15:54.319
Could you?

00:15:54.400 --> 00:15:57.039
Yes, it could take a very long time, but you could do it.

00:15:57.119 --> 00:16:02.640
But here's the thing: if you have someone who can help you say, hey, this is how you set up your environment.

00:16:02.799 --> 00:16:04.160
Let me walk you through whole foods.

00:16:04.319 --> 00:16:08.960
I'm going to walk you through, I'm going to show you exactly what I buy, where to get it, the simplest things to do.

00:16:09.119 --> 00:16:11.039
You don't have to buy food from overseas.

00:16:11.200 --> 00:16:13.279
Like it's just not necessary.

00:16:13.440 --> 00:16:14.000
You're busy.

00:16:14.079 --> 00:16:15.039
You don't have time for that.

00:16:15.200 --> 00:16:17.759
So we're going to set up your environment, the places.

00:16:17.920 --> 00:16:19.920
There are many more places that we could go into.

00:16:20.000 --> 00:16:21.759
And we do that inside accelerator.

00:16:21.839 --> 00:16:23.759
But I want you to start wrapping your mind around.

00:16:23.839 --> 00:16:26.000
Okay, so so far it's just the mindset, right?

00:16:26.160 --> 00:16:28.319
Take your wrong mindsets and you replace them with the truth.

00:16:28.480 --> 00:16:30.720
You recognize what they are, replace them with truth.

00:16:30.799 --> 00:16:32.079
Then you have the environment.

00:16:32.160 --> 00:16:35.920
I'm setting up the places around me, the things around me, the people around me.

00:16:36.160 --> 00:16:42.079
All of those things, once you optimize those, you have somebody who can say, hey, look, here's what's in my pantry.

00:16:42.160 --> 00:16:43.440
Hey, here's where I buy it.

00:16:43.599 --> 00:16:46.559
I mean, it's just made things so much simpler.

00:16:46.640 --> 00:16:50.160
So you're not standing there overwhelmed going, all I know how to eat is salad.

00:16:50.319 --> 00:16:53.039
Like I'll just eat salad and live on salad the rest of my life.

00:16:53.119 --> 00:16:54.480
That's dieting mentality.

00:16:54.640 --> 00:16:54.960
Okay.

00:16:55.200 --> 00:16:56.799
So let's move to delicious.

00:16:56.960 --> 00:16:58.720
This is one of my absolute favorites.

00:16:58.880 --> 00:17:00.160
One and two are super important.

00:17:00.319 --> 00:17:01.440
Mindset environment, right?

00:17:01.519 --> 00:17:08.880
But we're going to get those set up and solid and we move on to delicious because you don't have satisfying upgrades for your favorites.

00:17:09.119 --> 00:17:11.279
And that is why it's not sticking.

00:17:11.440 --> 00:17:14.160
That's why you keep falling off the healthy food wagon.

00:17:14.319 --> 00:17:27.039
And this is why we have people, even people who have tried whole feed plant-based multiple times, come to us and finally they're able to make it work because they get the five-step system and in it is delicious.

00:17:27.200 --> 00:17:31.359
So you learn how to make those old favorites in your new upgraded way.

00:17:31.519 --> 00:17:38.240
Because what you've been trying to do before is to eat healthy by removing your favorites and replacing them with sadness.

00:17:38.480 --> 00:17:38.799
Okay.

00:17:39.200 --> 00:17:39.920
Think about it.

00:17:40.079 --> 00:17:45.599
I have been doing this to myself in the name of health, thinking that this is the way to get healthy.

00:17:45.839 --> 00:17:49.920
Removing my old favorites and replacing them with sadness.

00:17:50.079 --> 00:17:51.920
These are the methods we were talking about before.

00:17:52.079 --> 00:17:53.359
I'm just going to eat less.

00:17:53.599 --> 00:17:57.119
I'm just going to have to live on zero-point cabbage soup.

00:17:57.200 --> 00:18:00.160
I'm just going to have to dine out and not like what I'm eating.

00:18:00.400 --> 00:18:05.920
I'm just going to have to, and you tell yourself all these, by the time you're done with that list, you are so depressed.

00:18:06.000 --> 00:18:07.839
You're like, I don't even know why I'm trying to get healthy.

00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:09.279
Just give me my old favorite.

00:18:09.359 --> 00:18:10.400
Just forget it.

00:18:10.559 --> 00:18:11.440
I'm not even going to try.

00:18:11.599 --> 00:18:11.759
Yeah.

00:18:11.839 --> 00:18:23.119
And then next year you find yourself 50 to 100 pounds heavier because you haven't found your favorites, or you have two more diagnosis stacked on the other two you already had, and now you're not showing up even as much as you were before.

00:18:23.279 --> 00:18:31.680
And that is not what we want for you because there are people waiting on you, waiting on the gifts God's put in you, waiting on you to show up and help them.

00:18:31.920 --> 00:18:35.039
So we're talking about here finding your new favorites.

00:18:35.200 --> 00:18:37.839
These are the upgraded versions of your old favorites.

00:18:37.920 --> 00:18:46.799
So if you like tacos, pizza, pasta, shepherd's pie, brownies, and I'm not talking about dry, nasty brownies that you have to force yourself to eat.

00:18:46.880 --> 00:18:50.400
And you're saying to yourself, well, it's okay because it's healthy.

00:18:50.640 --> 00:18:52.559
No, that's never going to work.

00:18:52.720 --> 00:18:54.079
That is alive, the enemy.

00:18:54.240 --> 00:18:56.799
Healthy food can and should taste amazing.

00:18:56.960 --> 00:18:57.359
Period.

00:18:57.440 --> 00:18:59.519
There's nothing else I want to say about that.

00:18:59.839 --> 00:19:06.799
You have to find those replacements that you absolutely love just as much or even more than your old favorites, or it is never going to stick.

00:19:06.960 --> 00:19:09.279
But when you do, it will stick.

00:19:09.440 --> 00:19:11.359
You'll love it and you'll never think of going back.

00:19:11.440 --> 00:19:12.399
Because why would you?

00:19:12.559 --> 00:19:17.359
You have no reason to go back when you have new favorites that you love just as much or more as the old.

00:19:17.440 --> 00:19:18.799
But these are going to make you feel amazing.

00:19:18.879 --> 00:19:21.279
And you won't have what Jared calls a food hangover.

00:19:21.440 --> 00:19:26.079
And don't underestimate step number three, because if it's not delicious, you could do all the stuff.

00:19:26.159 --> 00:19:27.279
It could be easy.

00:19:27.519 --> 00:19:30.480
It could be the right mindset that you have.

00:19:30.639 --> 00:19:34.000
But if it tastes meh, you're not going to stick with it.

00:19:34.240 --> 00:19:35.440
You're not going to love it.

00:19:36.159 --> 00:19:42.319
And problem number four, you don't have repeatable meals for real busy life.

00:19:42.559 --> 00:19:46.319
You need those things that you can make on repeat.

00:19:46.399 --> 00:19:50.079
Now that doesn't mean you have to eat the same old thing all the time.

00:19:50.240 --> 00:19:53.679
But what we know is most people eat the same nine meals on repeat.

00:19:53.839 --> 00:19:59.839
And I promise you that eating this way, you are going to have more options than you have time to make.

00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:03.759
I wish my brother John was here to talk to you because he has gone through accelerator.

00:20:03.839 --> 00:20:06.480
He is now an alumni and he made the comment the other day.

00:20:06.639 --> 00:20:11.519
I literally have so many ideas for things to make and a list of things that I want to try.

00:20:11.759 --> 00:20:15.119
That my main problem now is I have to decide which one do I make next.

00:20:15.359 --> 00:20:16.799
That's the kind of problem you want.

00:20:16.960 --> 00:20:19.759
This is the kind of problem we're going to help you have.

00:20:19.839 --> 00:20:20.079
Okay.

00:20:20.240 --> 00:20:21.519
Because you want that kind of problem.

00:20:21.599 --> 00:20:25.279
It's like the problem I have now where I used to have the problem that I had no energy.

00:20:25.440 --> 00:20:28.879
I couldn't even hardly walk up one flight of stairs to take my kids into bed at night.

00:20:29.039 --> 00:20:30.559
My arms and fingers hurt so bad.

00:20:30.639 --> 00:20:34.079
I was in the, I was in the shower crying, trying to wash my hair.

00:20:34.240 --> 00:20:36.720
Why am I having so much trouble washing my hair?

00:20:36.799 --> 00:20:39.519
And other people, they're not even thinking about washing their hair.

00:20:39.599 --> 00:20:43.279
And I'm hurting and I can't like you should not have to live that way.

00:20:43.440 --> 00:20:44.639
You have a mission.

00:20:44.799 --> 00:20:45.759
You have your family.

00:20:45.839 --> 00:20:48.319
You have the God-given calling God's placed on your heart.

00:20:48.480 --> 00:20:55.679
So it's crucial that you have somebody who can show you how you make this quit to work with your real life.

00:20:55.839 --> 00:21:01.440
And one way to do that is you have those lightning fast meals that you can make on repeat.

00:21:01.599 --> 00:21:10.319
And I promise you, when you work with us, you're going to have favorites and it's going to be like five to 10 minute favorites, things you can throw together so fast it's going to make your head spin.

00:21:10.480 --> 00:21:12.159
We never ate this easily before.

00:21:12.319 --> 00:21:13.919
It never was this simple before.

00:21:14.000 --> 00:21:15.519
It was never this quick before.

00:21:15.679 --> 00:21:17.440
And it was never this delicious before.

00:21:17.599 --> 00:21:23.119
And you also have to factor in setup time, breakdown time, cleanup time, disinfecting time.

00:21:23.279 --> 00:21:23.839
Yes, right.

00:21:24.000 --> 00:21:25.200
Get me started on the cleanup.

00:21:25.279 --> 00:21:30.319
I mean, the oil residue that used to get on things, even being clean, just it just happens.

00:21:30.399 --> 00:21:32.879
It gets in the air, it splatters all over stuff.

00:21:33.119 --> 00:21:34.319
Cabinets, hood.

00:21:34.799 --> 00:21:36.319
And like you said, the disinfecting.

00:21:36.399 --> 00:21:41.919
So all the things that are coming from the animal products that are bacteria that are getting on your cabinets.

00:21:42.319 --> 00:21:44.159
Countertop, all the surfaces.

00:21:44.399 --> 00:21:48.000
So you wash them, but then you got to disinfect them because how do you know if you gotten rid of them?

00:21:48.079 --> 00:21:55.279
So We need to do either a bleach base cleanser or something else just to make sure that we've disinfected the environment.

00:21:55.519 --> 00:21:59.440
And if you're even being natural, you're still busting out the vinegar all the time.

00:21:59.599 --> 00:22:00.879
You're busting out something.

00:22:01.119 --> 00:22:03.200
How is that gonna work with a busy schedule?

00:22:03.279 --> 00:22:09.599
So you need those rapid go-to anchor meals that are super fast, satisfying, and scalable for a real schedule.

00:22:09.759 --> 00:22:13.039
Meals that take 10 minutes or less actually taste incredible.

00:22:13.200 --> 00:22:15.039
Even really 20-minute meals.

00:22:15.119 --> 00:22:18.720
I mean, some of our longest meals, 20 to 30 minutes, it's on the table.

00:22:18.879 --> 00:22:26.399
And these are things that the reality is most things are faster now because I'm the queen of why are there five steps in this?

00:22:26.559 --> 00:22:28.639
Like why is there and only it needs two?

00:22:28.799 --> 00:22:29.119
Right.

00:22:29.279 --> 00:22:32.639
Why is there garlic powder and garlic cloves?

00:22:32.879 --> 00:22:34.000
And garlic flakes.

00:22:34.159 --> 00:22:34.319
Right.

00:22:34.399 --> 00:22:35.039
And garlic flak.

00:22:35.359 --> 00:22:36.000
I mean, it's crazy.

00:22:36.079 --> 00:22:36.879
Like I don't understand.

00:22:37.039 --> 00:22:41.200
There's so many other examples of this, but I cut time where there is cutting time.

00:22:41.359 --> 00:22:42.079
Trust me, you won't.

00:22:42.399 --> 00:22:43.759
Without sacrificing flavor.

00:22:44.000 --> 00:22:45.759
No, you won't believe how fast it is.

00:22:45.919 --> 00:22:57.519
And then the fifth reason you have such a hard time making healthy living stick and not being able to fully live your calling is that you don't know how to make it work in real life situations.

00:22:57.679 --> 00:23:01.599
This is the I've tried, but how am I gonna dine out?

00:23:01.759 --> 00:23:03.200
What am I gonna do on the holidays?

00:23:03.359 --> 00:23:05.200
My spouse and kids aren't even on board.

00:23:05.359 --> 00:23:06.159
I go to events.

00:23:06.240 --> 00:23:07.359
I need to go to social gatherings.

00:23:07.440 --> 00:23:08.240
What am I gonna eat there?

00:23:08.319 --> 00:23:08.960
What am I gonna take?

00:23:09.119 --> 00:23:10.879
What will I make when I have guests over?

00:23:11.039 --> 00:23:12.240
What about when I travel?

00:23:12.399 --> 00:23:13.279
I travel for work.

00:23:13.359 --> 00:23:14.960
I travel to go speak on stages.

00:23:15.039 --> 00:23:16.000
What am I gonna do then?

00:23:16.079 --> 00:23:18.879
What about my stressful weeks, Anita, when everything's falling apart?

00:23:18.960 --> 00:23:20.000
What am I gonna do?

00:23:20.240 --> 00:23:20.559
Right?

00:23:20.720 --> 00:23:32.960
What we teach you is the simple rules and the simple swaps and the simple defaults, the step-by-step plan so you can just do it and enjoy it no matter what life throws at you.

00:23:33.119 --> 00:23:39.519
So the five main reasons your health goals do not stick year after year is that you have the wrong mindset.

00:23:39.679 --> 00:23:42.399
You have diet thinking instead of truth thinking.

00:23:42.639 --> 00:23:44.720
Your life is set up to sabotage you.

00:23:44.879 --> 00:23:45.839
That's environment.

00:23:46.000 --> 00:23:49.519
You don't have satisfying upgrades, making it delicious.

00:23:49.679 --> 00:23:55.759
And you don't have repeatable meals for busy life or real life, that's making it rapid.

00:23:55.919 --> 00:24:03.039
And you don't know how to make it work in real life situations that busy leaders constantly find themselves in.

00:24:03.119 --> 00:24:04.399
And that's simple.

00:24:04.559 --> 00:24:14.960
So here's what we know: you can have all the knowledge in the world, but without a proven system that addresses all five of these areas at once, you will keep spinning your wheels.

00:24:15.039 --> 00:24:17.359
We've seen it time and time again.

00:24:17.599 --> 00:24:20.480
