      00:00:00.179 --> 00:00:13.541
      Anytime we run into something that is new or different, it is so tempting to just knee-jerk reaction, say that's too hard, without ever really considering what the thing is, how to achieve it, what are the steps?

      00:00:13.541 --> 00:00:17.611
      We just say dismissively oh that's too hard, I can't do it.

      00:00:17.611 --> 00:00:26.286
      And I hear this so much with plant-based living because I introduce it to my patients all the time and if you're one of my patients listening to this, you can attest to that.

      00:00:26.286 --> 00:00:30.524
      But I'm so passionate about it because I know the power of what this way of living can do.

      00:00:30.945 --> 00:00:47.341
      Yeah, when you have these eye-opening discoveries of all the things that are within plants that actually will heal and do heal time and time again the most chronic diseases of our time, and you know that, you know that, you know it works.

      00:00:47.341 --> 00:00:51.990
      And then you hear somebody come to you and say that's too hard.

      00:00:51.990 --> 00:00:54.683
      And you know it's the easiest way you've ever lived.

      00:00:54.683 --> 00:01:00.448
      Like we ate all the meat, the cheese, the dairy, the eggs, all of those things, but we eat the same things.

      00:01:00.448 --> 00:01:07.087
      It's hilarious Like we were in line at the grocery store yesterday and I pulled up this magazine of comfort foods.

      00:01:07.087 --> 00:01:07.929
      It was sitting in line.

      00:01:07.929 --> 00:01:13.167
      It's like comfort foods of the year and I opened it up and seriously, no lie.

      00:01:13.167 --> 00:01:19.668
      Every page, except for one that had a picture of a solid chicken breast, every single thing in there we ate.

      00:01:19.668 --> 00:01:22.640
      I just started cracking up out loud in the line.

      00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:24.742
      I'm like Jared, look at this, You've got to see this.

      00:01:24.742 --> 00:01:28.546
      Every single thing in here is the stuff we still eat.

      00:01:28.626 --> 00:01:32.933
      And it was not a plant-based magazine, no, it was just a regular one, regular cooking magazine.

      00:01:33.112 --> 00:01:34.614
      So we still eat the same thing.

      00:01:34.614 --> 00:01:35.956
      So how is it hard?

      00:01:35.956 --> 00:01:37.561
      Why is it hard?

      00:01:37.561 --> 00:01:42.305
      We've been lied to and we believed the lie, and that's where the danger is.

      00:01:42.305 --> 00:01:50.533
      It's not just in the lie, it's in believing the lies that we've been taught, the lies that come through media and these different avenues.

      00:01:50.533 --> 00:01:51.834
      I'm not going to go into all that right now.

      00:01:51.834 --> 00:02:00.902
      We're going into that inside Accelerator, all these different avenues that the lies are coming to us through, and what are the lies and how to recognize those lies.

      00:02:00.902 --> 00:02:02.204
      And this one is a biggie.

      00:02:02.305 --> 00:02:06.600
      But, as I like to say, it's not hard, it's just different.

      00:02:06.600 --> 00:02:12.112
      And today I want to share with you the power on plants gravy principle.

      00:02:12.112 --> 00:02:17.150
      So every time you think, oh, this is hard, just think about the power on plants gravy principle.

      00:02:17.951 --> 00:02:19.221
      And you had me at gravy.

      00:02:19.221 --> 00:02:21.164
      I don't know where you're going with this.

      00:02:21.164 --> 00:02:24.110
      This episode is Jared's brainchild and he surprised me.

      00:02:24.110 --> 00:02:28.145
      I'm as surprised as you are right now, but when he says gravy, I'm all in.

      00:02:28.145 --> 00:02:29.008
      So let's do this.

      00:02:29.560 --> 00:02:32.490
      Hey sister, welcome to the Power on Plants podcast.

      00:02:32.490 --> 00:02:37.832
      Are you tired of staring into the fridge wondering what to eat so you can just feel better?

      00:02:37.832 --> 00:02:43.252
      Do you want to avoid spending hours in the kitchen making complicated meals in the name of health?

      00:02:43.252 --> 00:02:49.555
      Would you love to leave fatigue behind and finally have the energy to do all the things you want to do?

      00:02:49.555 --> 00:02:57.203
      Hi, we're Jared and Anita Roussel, christ followers, healthcare professionals, parents of four and big fans of great tasting food.

      00:02:57.683 --> 00:03:09.413
      We, too, tried exercising more, eating natural and clean foods, but we still found ourselves struggling with what we thought were changes that come with age or bad genes, and we weren't finding answers to traditional routes.

      00:03:09.413 --> 00:03:16.640
      So we dug into the research and created our secret nutritional weapon sustainable plant-based living.

      00:03:16.640 --> 00:03:20.430
      The truth is, you can eat more whole plant foods and it's not hard.

      00:03:20.430 --> 00:03:25.590
      You just need the way that's realistic and delicious, so you never feel deprived.

      00:03:25.590 --> 00:03:33.824
      If you're ready to enjoy your meals, no longer be held back by your health struggles and actively live your life, then you're in the right place.

      00:03:33.824 --> 00:03:39.105
      So grab your favorite plant-based cup of happy pop in those earbuds and let's get started.

      00:03:39.105 --> 00:03:49.092
      Now you know, I'm all in because you mentioned gravy and the gravy principle and I don't really remember exactly what you're talking about or if this is something we've talked about before.

      00:03:49.092 --> 00:03:55.252
      But I'm telling you, this Southern girl has pan gravy, pictures of pan gravy floating through her mind.

      00:03:55.252 --> 00:03:57.538
      When you say the gravy principle, I'm there.

      00:03:58.040 --> 00:04:05.474
      And, ironically enough, our youngest daughter, just prior to this podcast episode, actually made biscuits and gravy.

      00:04:05.980 --> 00:04:08.288
      She did and I had no clue she didn't need it.

      00:04:08.288 --> 00:04:09.070
      This is so great.

      00:04:09.479 --> 00:04:19.913
      Now I wanted to hide it from you, anita, so that that way you would be surprised, and you know, sometimes it's nice to be on the sending end of the surprises and the receiving end.

      00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:21.442
      I'm finding it fun.

      00:04:21.442 --> 00:04:25.130
      I say let's let Jared come up with the next hundred podcast ideas.

      00:04:25.130 --> 00:04:26.454
      I like that.

      00:04:26.454 --> 00:04:29.966
      I think that is such a great idea and I'll just arrive surprised.

      00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:32.668
      I don't know about a hundred of them, but I'm willing to do some.

      00:04:32.959 --> 00:04:35.009
      So what exactly is the gravy principle?

      00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:39.588
      Well, actually this is something that you and I have discussed in the past, but it's been a little while.

      00:04:39.588 --> 00:04:48.588
      But it stuck with me because we talked about how we used to enjoy gravy, back the original way, many years ago, and it was always a more involved process.

      00:04:48.588 --> 00:04:56.502
      It wasn't just a simple just throw it in the microwave and make it which we don't do that now but it wasn't something that we would just make in a minute or two.

      00:04:56.502 --> 00:05:04.809
      You'd have to, and I've not ever actually made gravy, so you'd have to the confessions, true confessions, of Jared True confessions.

      00:05:04.829 --> 00:05:07.124
      So you would have to attest to the process.

      00:05:07.124 --> 00:05:15.629
      But I remember you saying that you'd have to do the flour and maybe some oil and then have to heat it in the pan, and there was a process to it.

      00:05:15.769 --> 00:05:17.682
      Yeah, I totally remember the conversation.

      00:05:17.682 --> 00:05:19.288
      Now I know where you're going with this.

      00:05:19.288 --> 00:05:21.035
      This is genius.

      00:05:21.035 --> 00:05:26.247
      Such a great episode because y'all are getting again an inside scoop into what we talk about on the day-to-day.

      00:05:26.247 --> 00:05:28.392
      So if you wonder, what does Jared and Anita eat?

      00:05:28.392 --> 00:05:29.923
      Well, they eat gravy and biscuits.

      00:05:29.923 --> 00:05:37.192
      We don't eat them every day, but we still eat the same old things that we used to eat and some new ones that were not even on our radar.

      00:05:37.192 --> 00:05:47.752
      Right, because you don't even realize what you're missing until you start eating the power on plants way and you can discover hey, there's a whole lot outside of salads that's available to me now.

      00:05:47.752 --> 00:05:49.533
      That is going to light me up.

      00:05:49.533 --> 00:05:50.274
      That I'm going to love.

      00:05:50.274 --> 00:05:51.341
      But gravy, ok.

      00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:53.245
      So back in the day, pan gravy was.

      00:05:53.245 --> 00:05:57.045
      You have some type of grease, usually like an animal grease or an oil.

      00:05:57.045 --> 00:06:02.064
      You could do a vegetable, but usually it was like a flavorful animal grease which was not healthy at all.

      00:06:02.064 --> 00:06:03.048
      I'm not even going there.

      00:06:03.048 --> 00:06:06.283
      But you put that grease in a pot on your stove.

      00:06:06.283 --> 00:06:07.627
      It's going to be splashing around a little bit.

      00:06:07.627 --> 00:06:09.541
      So now you got all this mess you got to clean up.

      00:06:09.541 --> 00:06:10.708
      It's a fire hazard.

      00:06:10.708 --> 00:06:17.595
      I'm having flashbacks to things like when I was little and my mom running through the house with a pan with oil in it on fire.

      00:06:17.595 --> 00:06:20.524
      Yeah, so we don't have those problems anymore, right?

      00:06:20.524 --> 00:06:22.632
      Life is so much more simple now.

      00:06:22.632 --> 00:06:28.276
      So what we did back in the day is you would have that animal grease If you've made gravy.

      00:06:28.276 --> 00:06:29.081
      You're right there with me.

      00:06:29.081 --> 00:06:31.214
      You know what I'm talking about, especially you Southern girls.

      00:06:31.214 --> 00:06:37.033
      So you've got that grease on there and you're going to sprinkle in your flour, but not too much and not too fast.

      00:06:37.033 --> 00:06:44.964
      You got to be real careful because if you put in too much too fast and you're not whisking it fast enough and you don't have enough liquid from the oil in there, what is going to happen?

      00:06:44.964 --> 00:06:47.927
      That flour is going to seize up on you and you're going to get lumps.

      00:06:47.927 --> 00:06:49.310
      And then you start putting the liquid in.

      00:06:49.310 --> 00:06:53.374
      You put it too fast and you're not whisking enough, or you put it too slow and you're not whisking enough.

      00:06:53.374 --> 00:06:54.295
      What are you going to get?

      00:06:54.295 --> 00:06:56.946
      Lumpy gravy, and nobody likes lumpy gravy.

      00:06:56.946 --> 00:06:59.649
      Let me tell you there's an art to making gravy the old fashioned way.

      00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:01.827
      I do not miss it at all.

      00:07:01.827 --> 00:07:03.882
      I don't miss the way it made my body feel.

      00:07:03.882 --> 00:07:11.572
      I don clogged arteries, the interstitial cystitis, the fibrocystic breast disease, the exhaustion, low energy, all those things I was dealing with.

      00:07:11.572 --> 00:07:15.824
      The joint pain, the daily joint pain that we had come to believe was due to our age.

      00:07:15.824 --> 00:07:21.283
      No, it wasn't the age, it was the animal fats and the oils and all of those things.

      00:07:21.283 --> 00:07:25.841
      Go back and listen to our episodes we just did on meat and dairy and eggs and all those things.

      00:07:25.841 --> 00:07:28.543
      You'll understand where the pain and the exhaustion is coming from.

      00:07:28.543 --> 00:07:31.127
      You have to understand these things and start breaking free.

      00:07:31.208 --> 00:07:34.552
      But Jared's talking about here just the simplicity of this lifestyle.

      00:07:34.552 --> 00:07:42.399
      And you come to it believing this lie of the enemy, that oh, it's going to be so hard.

      00:07:42.399 --> 00:07:43.079
      It's just because it's new to you.

      00:07:43.079 --> 00:07:43.641
      You don't know what to do.

      00:07:43.641 --> 00:07:45.060
      But when you have someone to show you step by step, it changes things.

      00:07:45.060 --> 00:07:46.182
      But here's the gravy principle.

      00:07:46.182 --> 00:08:01.047
      So we've got the oil going, we've got the whisking going, we've got the milk going, we've got you've got to have the right amounts and you've got to stir it up and now you have the mess and it's all over your stove and it takes forever and you're standing there and you've got to wait for it to get the right thickness and now you've just got a mess.

      00:08:01.047 --> 00:08:08.529
      I mean it's a mess.

      00:08:09.069 --> 00:08:15.033
      So with the traditional gravy you'd have an animal grease which I would imagine for many people would be like the fat that came off of bacon?

      00:08:15.033 --> 00:08:16.653
      Yeah that.

      00:08:16.653 --> 00:08:20.194
      You'd have a refined flour no, and then you would have a dairy.

      00:08:20.295 --> 00:08:22.935
      Yeah, white flour, bacon, grease and milk.

      00:08:23.276 --> 00:08:24.396
      And was that the primary component?

      00:08:24.396 --> 00:08:26.456
      Those were the primary components, and then probably some salt yeah.

      00:08:26.456 --> 00:08:28.778
      Rich, excessive salt, a lot of salt, not good for you.

      00:08:28.778 --> 00:08:31.678
      Pepper, yeah, pepper's good Pepper's, good for you.

      00:08:31.740 --> 00:08:36.251
      That's like the one ingredient, the saving grace of pan gravy, southern pan gravy right.

      00:08:36.480 --> 00:08:38.946
      I'm just going to put a whole bunch of ground black pepper to make this healthy.

      00:08:38.946 --> 00:08:40.109
      No, no, no, no, it's not going to work.

      00:08:40.129 --> 00:08:41.351
      It does not redeem it.

      00:08:44.764 --> 00:08:49.392
      No, but you can use black gravy on the power, on plants gravy which is a better way to go.

      00:08:49.491 --> 00:08:52.015
      And I wouldn't say on the old way it would add extra health benefit.

      00:08:52.015 --> 00:08:56.048
      I would say that it added a little bit of health benefit because there's nothing else.

      00:08:56.148 --> 00:08:58.152
      redeeming there, there's nothing else.

      00:08:58.753 --> 00:09:01.648
      Nothing but the power on plants way.

      00:09:01.648 --> 00:09:03.365
      So you say it's hard.

      00:09:03.365 --> 00:09:12.149
      Meanwhile you're cooking a pan gravy the old way and you're dealing with all the side effects and the mess and the frustration and the trying to get it.

      00:09:12.149 --> 00:09:16.727
      And maybe you don't feel like it's frustrating because you made it enough, but you're still going through all those steps.

      00:09:16.889 --> 00:09:17.931
      Well, and it's what you know.

      00:09:17.931 --> 00:09:21.908
      And when you think gravy, these are the steps that you're expecting.

      00:09:21.969 --> 00:09:23.541
      Yeah, you think you have to go through those.

      00:09:23.561 --> 00:09:29.269
      You have to go through those for the traditional way and you're expecting it and you're in your mind saying, OK, this is going to take 30 minutes.

      00:09:29.269 --> 00:09:32.572
      You already know that's a path you have already walked.

      00:09:32.572 --> 00:09:39.870
      So it's very tempting, when there's a path you haven't walked, to say, oh it's hard, never even knowing what is involved with that.

      00:09:39.870 --> 00:09:44.068
      And with the power on plants gravy principle it's actually easier.

      00:09:44.068 --> 00:09:46.020
      You just don't know it because you haven't been there.

      00:09:46.361 --> 00:09:54.408
      No, I mean, we're talking like most of my recipes, where you take and you throw a couple of ingredients into a high speed blender blend.

      00:09:54.408 --> 00:09:58.827
      It pour it over into your pan and you might whisk it a time or two.

      00:09:58.827 --> 00:10:06.471
      You're not worried about it seizing up or not coming together smoothly, you just want to whisk it so it doesn't burn to the bottom of your pan, that's it.

      00:10:06.471 --> 00:10:11.163
      You don't have the greasy mess on the outside on your stove, on your countertops.

      00:10:11.163 --> 00:10:15.841
      You don't have to worry about the bacteria and all that from the animal products.

      00:10:15.841 --> 00:10:18.794
      You're not worried about your inside of your arteries clogging up.

      00:10:18.794 --> 00:10:24.951
      You're literally eating like nuts, water, miso, pepper, I mean all these things that are so healthy for you.

      00:10:24.951 --> 00:10:27.542
      And maybe you hear that and you think, well, I don't know what miso is, so I couldn't make it.

      00:10:27.542 --> 00:10:30.865
      Maybe you hear that and you think, well, I don't know what miso is, so I couldn't make it Hogwash, Like it's so easy Google it.

      00:10:30.884 --> 00:10:32.625
      It's so easy to find miso.

      00:10:32.625 --> 00:10:40.113
      Now and I go through inside the course we're going to be talking specifically about what these things are and where do you find them, and what our favorite brands are.

      00:10:40.113 --> 00:10:45.476
      Because we've tried so many, having been doing this for years and years, we know what works.

      00:10:45.476 --> 00:10:47.240
      We have the answers.

      00:10:47.240 --> 00:10:49.427
      You don't have to go through this alone.

      00:10:49.427 --> 00:11:00.605
      We'll walk you step by step, taking your hand in this 16-week course that has six full modules with a break in between so that you don't feel frustrated or overwhelmed.

      00:11:00.605 --> 00:11:02.389
      I'm taking you in the kitchen.

      00:11:02.389 --> 00:11:10.653
      The children and I are showing you like I have them as my sidekicks in the kitchen and we're showing you exactly, step by step, close up.

      00:11:10.653 --> 00:11:12.405
      What do you put in this?

      00:11:12.405 --> 00:11:13.625
      What do you press?

      00:11:13.625 --> 00:11:15.419
      How long does it go Like?

      00:11:15.419 --> 00:11:19.529
      You will not believe how many of these things are 15 minute and under meals.

      00:11:19.529 --> 00:11:20.832
      I mean, I'm not kidding.

      00:11:20.832 --> 00:11:22.726
      You Wrap your mind around how simple this is.

      00:11:22.726 --> 00:11:31.231
      So the new gravy is you throw four ingredients, maybe five, into the blender which I just did it.

      00:11:31.273 --> 00:11:33.275
      I don't know, don't ask me, I just eat it.

      00:11:33.419 --> 00:11:34.745
      It's like four or five ingredients.

      00:11:34.745 --> 00:11:36.225
      It's in the Power and Plants cookbooks.

      00:11:36.225 --> 00:11:41.206
      So you throw it in there, you press start and as soon as it's smooth it's ready to hit.

      00:11:41.206 --> 00:11:44.153
      The pan Goes into the pan, you whisk it, it's done.

      00:11:44.513 --> 00:11:47.695
      And that would heat it and maybe thicken it a little bit in the pan.

      00:11:47.815 --> 00:11:50.657
      Yeah, it thickens when it heats, and then you warm it up and that's it.

      00:11:50.697 --> 00:11:52.038
      You're not adding cornstarch.

      00:11:52.077 --> 00:11:54.527
      You're not adding flour, you're not trying to get it to all come together.

      00:11:54.527 --> 00:11:56.846
      Wrap your mind around how simple this is.

      00:11:56.846 --> 00:11:57.950
      I keep thinking.

      00:11:57.950 --> 00:12:02.871
      I'm just finishing up taping the course which is opening up for you on the 12th.

      00:12:02.871 --> 00:12:06.311
      We are having a $2,000 off discount right now.

      00:12:06.311 --> 00:12:10.501
      This off discount right now.

      00:12:10.501 --> 00:12:11.144
      This is never happening again.

      00:12:11.144 --> 00:12:15.302
      If you want to get in and you're ready and you're like I've got to know how to go, step by step by step, you want 2025 and beyond to be your best years.

      00:12:15.302 --> 00:12:21.609
      Yet you want to feel good, you want to actively live your calling and you want to know how do I stop falling off the healthy eating wagon?

      00:12:21.609 --> 00:12:23.816
      This course is the answer.

      00:12:24.357 --> 00:12:30.508
      And you're thinking I don't want to just hear about the gravy principle, I want to live the gravy principle, I don't want to just hear about the gravy principle.

      00:12:30.528 --> 00:12:31.208
      I want to live the gravy principle.

      00:12:31.208 --> 00:12:31.448
      Live it.

      00:12:31.448 --> 00:12:32.110
      I want to taste it.

      00:12:32.110 --> 00:12:34.192
      I want to see exactly how to do it, step by step.

      00:12:34.192 --> 00:12:41.761
      I mean it will literally blow your mind Like I was almost in tears the other day just how easy this is.

      00:12:41.761 --> 00:12:51.436
      I'm looking back over and editing all these videos and looking at just literally most of my recipes are a few ingredients blend done or a few ingredients press start on the Instant Pot done.

      00:12:51.436 --> 00:12:56.192
      You walk away, dinner makes itself or you're done in such a fraction of the time.

      00:12:56.559 --> 00:13:04.220
      That's why I say, if people are eating whole food plant, if you're eating whole food, plant based, and you're spending hours in the kitchen, something is wrong.

      00:13:04.220 --> 00:13:05.302
      You have not had anyone.

      00:13:05.302 --> 00:13:11.652
      Show you the power in plants method, because this method is the foolproof five stepstep system that works time and again.

      00:13:11.652 --> 00:13:18.585
      It works, it works, it works and we are so excited about it because we see it happen time and again.

      00:13:18.585 --> 00:13:30.754
      I mean it's almost daily that Jared has a patient or we have members that we're working with and they are getting freed from type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure and high cholesterol and aching cholesterol and bad tasting food.

      00:13:30.879 --> 00:13:37.490
      And bad tasting food Such a great point and joints that ache 9 out of 10 and now it's 0 out of 10.

      00:13:37.490 --> 00:13:42.659
      My pain is gone, my autoimmune disease has reversed, my IBS is gone, I mean.

      00:13:42.659 --> 00:13:45.629
      And you think, how in the world can it work for so many things?

      00:13:45.629 --> 00:13:48.162
      Well, you got to think there are two main reasons.

      00:13:48.162 --> 00:13:53.472
      There are many other reasons that it works and we're going to go through that inside the course, but this is the thing.

      00:13:53.472 --> 00:13:56.826
      Do you think it can't possibly work for all these different things?

      00:13:56.826 --> 00:13:57.567
      But it does.

      00:13:57.567 --> 00:14:00.903
      And here's why it opens up your blood vessels.

      00:14:00.903 --> 00:14:03.148
      And when your blood vessels open up, what happens?

      00:14:03.148 --> 00:14:12.196
      All the nutrients can get to your cells that could not get there before, and all the garbage that couldn't get out well and was clogged up and backed up, now freely exits your body.

      00:14:12.196 --> 00:14:19.192
      And so when you got the nutrients coming in, the garbage going out, think of all the things that are affected by blood flow in your body.

      00:14:19.192 --> 00:14:21.946
      What part of your body is not affected by blood flow?

      00:14:22.226 --> 00:14:23.288
      There isn't one.

      00:14:23.690 --> 00:14:26.482
      There isn't one, so why does this work for so many things?

      00:14:26.482 --> 00:14:27.926
      This is exactly why.

      00:14:28.145 --> 00:14:29.649
      And you're getting rid of the inflammation.

      00:14:29.649 --> 00:14:30.892
      And where is the inflammation?

      00:14:30.892 --> 00:14:32.534
      It's everywhere.

      00:14:32.534 --> 00:14:39.634
      So when you can remove that, then the body can do what God designed it to do to heal and to function.

      00:14:39.980 --> 00:14:42.580
      And look, we haven't even mentioned the good bacteria.

      00:14:42.580 --> 00:14:52.144
      When you get your gut bacteria, your microbiome, right we know how much the gut affects so many different areas of our body and your good gut bacteria they eat fiber.

      00:14:52.144 --> 00:14:55.221
      Well, where are you going to get the fiber if you don't know how to eat plants?

      00:14:55.221 --> 00:15:26.389
      You've got to learn how to get more of these life-giving, real, living foods into your body, because this is what is going to help you thrive and heal and feel great, so that you're finally able to do all the things that God has placed on your heart to do, all those God-given dreams starting a podcast, starting a business, taking your current business to the next level, being able and available to fully enjoy life with your family, with your friends, to go on missions trips, to tell other about the kingdom of God.

      00:15:26.389 --> 00:15:31.621
      Like, how are you going to do that if you don't even feel like getting up off the couch?

      00:15:31.621 --> 00:15:32.604
      You can't.

      00:15:32.604 --> 00:15:34.427
      But you've got to wrap your mind around.

      00:15:34.427 --> 00:15:37.123
      This is why this does work for so many things.

      00:15:37.484 --> 00:15:55.549
      And when you start thinking about blood flow and inflammation and your digestive tract and how the gut bacteria eat fiber and fiber is only found in plants and there's no fiber in animal products, including dairy or meat or the eggs, no fiber at all, but they are filled with cholesterol.

      00:15:55.549 --> 00:15:57.140
      And what's everybody struggling with today?

      00:15:57.140 --> 00:15:59.726
      Cholesterol, high cholesterol and clogged arteries.

      00:15:59.726 --> 00:16:06.063
      Well, there's no cholesterol in plants, but animal products are filled with it, and we're just scratching the surface here.

      00:16:06.063 --> 00:16:20.216
      I mean, let's talk about the tens of thousands of nutrients that scientists have discovered, that they haven't even named yet, and all that other incredible things that God has put in this food, the whole plant foods that we don't even know are there yet.

      00:16:20.216 --> 00:16:22.253
      And we're sitting there worried about protein.

      00:16:22.253 --> 00:16:23.309
      Are you kidding me?

      00:16:23.804 --> 00:16:39.090
      I don't think it's a stretch to say there are probably things within plants that have beneficial effects that we have yet to identify, right, that have beneficial effects that we have yet to identify Because, like you said, there are tens of thousands, if not more, of different compounds that they have isolated, but they haven't characterized, they haven't named, they just know that they're there.

      00:16:39.684 --> 00:16:48.355
      But doesn't it blow your mind that we're worried about these one or two things, that it's a non-issue when you understand the truth and you see how you've been lied to by the enemy and we're going to uncover?

      00:16:48.495 --> 00:16:49.577
      It's on purpose.

      00:16:49.577 --> 00:16:54.765
      It keeps you distracted.

      00:16:54.765 --> 00:17:01.145
      Fear keeps you distracted from the real story, and that will keep you distracted from the purpose that God has for your life.

      00:17:01.447 --> 00:17:02.750
      It's so rampant.

      00:17:02.750 --> 00:17:04.753
      Don't worry about your protein.

      00:17:04.753 --> 00:17:06.438
      You are going to get enough protein.

      00:17:06.438 --> 00:17:10.112
      All plants have protein and you don't have to protein combine.

      00:17:10.112 --> 00:17:13.358
      You've got to get in a place where you can be set free from these things.

      It is amazing, it is life changing and you are going to get freed from these lies of things like.

      00:17:31.214 --> 00:17:32.770
      It's so hard.

      00:17:32.770 --> 00:17:49.675
      I don't know what to do when you have someone showing you and not only recipes, but having you show you the mindset shifts that are absolutely essential to walking this way and living this way and making it simple, enjoyable and delicious, setting up your environment right, the people and places and things around you.

      00:17:49.675 --> 00:17:58.156
      When you learn all five of these things, it is going to blow your mind at how you once thought this was difficult.

      00:17:58.156 --> 00:18:01.111
      And we're not blaming you and I don't want you to blame you.

      00:18:01.111 --> 00:18:02.374
      This is not your fault.

      00:18:02.374 --> 00:18:05.267
      It is a grand setup you have been set up.

      00:18:05.267 --> 00:18:13.125
      The situation that you find yourself in nine times out of 10 is from living a lifestyle that many of you have thought is healthy.

      00:18:13.125 --> 00:18:14.931
      Like I thought we were living healthy.

      00:18:14.931 --> 00:18:23.637
      We were eating K-tree, organic free range, the healthier meats, all these things healthier in quotes and we went through healthcare training.

      00:18:24.105 --> 00:18:25.188
      You went through nursing training.

      00:18:25.188 --> 00:18:27.074
      I remember you going through nutrition class.

      00:18:27.114 --> 00:18:28.586
      You took me to nutrition class.

      00:18:28.627 --> 00:18:31.013
      Yes, I went through PA school.

      00:18:31.013 --> 00:18:34.107
      We didn't really have a nutrition class.

      00:18:34.107 --> 00:18:44.897
      We learned the basics of what a carbohydrate is, a protein, a fat, but all this stuff that I teach with my patients, I tell them this should have been semester one of PA school.

      00:18:45.065 --> 00:18:49.616
      Absolute requirement, but it's just not there, or at least no it wasn't Hopefully not there yet.

      00:18:49.616 --> 00:18:50.747
      Yeah, we're praying.

      00:18:50.767 --> 00:18:55.438
      I say hopefully, Meaning that maybe this will start to make it mainstream into the educational system.

      00:18:55.438 --> 00:19:02.219
      But I know that these principles, like what we teach in lifestyle medicine, are expanding from provider to provider.

      00:19:02.219 --> 00:19:10.657
      It's a grassroots movement, People like us getting on podcasts trying to share the goodness of what is found in plants.

      00:19:11.086 --> 00:19:13.513
      And the mindset shift that it is not hard.

      00:19:13.513 --> 00:19:14.267
      It's actually.

      00:19:14.267 --> 00:19:30.577
      Not only is it not difficult, it is the easiest way you can possibly imagine to eat, and you can still have most all of your old favorites, and you're going to discover so many more that you didn't even know existed yet.

      00:19:30.577 --> 00:19:36.833
      Somehow you've been convinced that it's going to be depriving, and yet what you don't know is you're deprived right now.

      00:19:36.833 --> 00:19:37.615
      That's what you don't know.

      00:19:37.644 --> 00:19:41.551
      That's the truth that you don't know, there's a golden nugget right there.

      00:19:41.865 --> 00:19:48.795
      Yeah, you're deprived right now and you don't even know it and you think all there is a salad on the other side, but it's a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

      00:19:48.795 --> 00:20:08.184
      And I don't believe in magic and luck, but I'm just telling you, like God has put in these foods that he told us about in Genesis 1 29, that he created our bodies to feel on, he has put the nutrients there that we need to thrive, but you've somehow been convinced that you're going to be deprived when you eat healthy, plant-based.

      00:20:08.184 --> 00:20:13.054
      But in reality you actually are deprived now and you just don't know it yet.

      00:20:13.213 --> 00:20:16.319
      I'd like to add that that pot of gold has gravy in it.

      00:20:18.486 --> 00:20:20.151
      Pan gravy southern pan gravy.

      00:20:20.310 --> 00:20:21.535
      They don't want to eat it for every meal.

      00:20:21.535 --> 00:20:29.711
      But you know, when you just got to have a gravy, have biscuits with gravy or any other thing, because we don't just use the gravy on biscuits, We'll use it on other dishes as well.

      00:20:29.711 --> 00:20:34.398
      But when you just need it, you can still enjoy it in a much, much healthier way.

      00:20:34.960 --> 00:20:38.125
      And walk away and not feel like crud after you eat it.

      00:20:38.125 --> 00:20:44.067
      I have no effects and it doesn't have a hold on me like dairy did either, so I'm walking free.

      00:20:44.067 --> 00:20:46.531
      We're in freedom, and that's what this is about.

      00:20:46.531 --> 00:20:59.277
      You want to be able to break free, to accelerate yourself from where you are now and from all those lies that you believed, to get to the truth that really is there and waiting for you to discover.

      00:20:59.277 --> 00:21:00.358
      It's so exciting.

      00:21:00.358 --> 00:21:03.755
      The wisdom, the knowledge and the results are all waiting there for you.

      00:21:03.755 --> 00:21:14.828
      All you have to do is decide that you're going to take this step to start believing the truth and unlearn the lies and how you actually have been deprived all along, and you just didn't even know it.

      00:21:15.771 --> 00:21:16.694
      We're on the other side.

      00:21:16.694 --> 00:21:18.972
      We're living this reality right now.

      00:21:18.972 --> 00:21:21.153

      It's glorious.

      00:21:30.438 --> 00:21:31.720
      You want this for yourself.

      00:21:36.704 --> 00:21:39.211
      I know how many times a week do you think that we bite into something and look at each other and just laugh and go.

      00:21:39.211 --> 00:21:40.415
      We're so deprived because we love it that much.

      00:21:40.415 --> 00:21:43.708
      We're joking about it, but it really is no joke.

      00:21:43.708 --> 00:21:46.935
      Like you've been bamboozled, we were bamboozled.

      00:21:46.935 --> 00:21:55.618
      We were blinded to the truth of the fact of how simple this is and how delicious it should be, and how much of your time you're actually going to gain back.

      00:21:55.618 --> 00:22:01.032
      You're going to receive freedom in every area you can even imagine, and it's all just waiting here for you.
