Sugar gets a bad rap - but what does the Bible actually say about it?

In this episode, we take a biblical and biological look at sugar, exploring why not all sweeteners are created equal and how God designed sweetness to be used with wisdom, seasonality, and discernment. We’ll unpack the role of honey, maple syrup, dates and the surprising benefits of molasses - plus the sugar I’m using most often these days. 

Food fear, sugar shaming and feeling sugar shamed is not peaceful or productive. Instead, let’s talk about scripture, stewardship, and learning how to enjoy sweetness without being ruled by it.

God cares about your goals, but even more about who you become while pursuing them. The Bible warns against the energy of striving, anxious effort, self-reliance and frantic timing.
In this episode, we’re talking about the “Holy D’s” to help us set goals with God - not apart from Him: 

• ✅ Desire
• ✅ Detachment
• ✅ Determination
• ✅ Discipline
• ✅ Discernment

Learn to release striving, walk in peace, and create intentions that align with the Kingdom   to transform your life from the inside out.

Fellow podcaster Vanessa Spina has experimented a lot with her diet and macronutrient ratios over the years. She started out as a vegetarian but felt lethargic and, at 38% body fat, knew it wasn’t working for her. From there she incorporated intermittent fasting, then implemented a ketogenic diet (and became well known as @ketogenicgirl), then found a sweet spot with a high-protein ketogenic diet. Somewhat recently, she experimented with a higher carb approach based on the recommendations of some of the experts she has interviewed, but found that higher fat works better for her as an energy source than higher carb. In this week’s episode, Vanessa shares the strategy and reasoning behind her experimentation and reminds us that it is ok and encouraged to experiment with your diet to find what works best for you, despite what the research or experts say. She also shares a lot of valuable insight she has learned from interviewing some of the top experts in the world. She is a wealth of knowledge - come listen!

Most women don’t realize how many body systems are affected by a loss of hormones as we move into the perimenopause and menopause years. Symptoms and signs include:

• Higher cholesterol
• Loss of bone density
• Joint pain and frozen shoulder
• Brain fog
• Poor sleep
• Anxiety 
• Weight gain
• Hypothyroidism 
• Loss of skin elasticity
• Low libido
• UTIs
• Hearing loss

Women are often offered a myriad of medications and supplements like statins and calcium as ways to address these various issues but are not actually addressing the root cause: hormonal decline. Although hormone replacement therapy has long been touted as dangerous, this week’s guests are here to bust that myth and share just how incredibly important HRT can be for women’s health and longevity. Their book, The Great Menopause Myth, dives deep into this topic and they are on the podcast this week sharing key points women need to know about how to be successful with hormones.

One of the questions I get often is: what do you think about eating freshly milled wheat flour if you have an autoimmune condition? Most functional health practitioners recommend removing gluten as part of an autoimmune dietary plan (that’s what I’ve always advised as well). But unless someone has Celiac, is it necessary? 

I’ve been conflicted on how to advise people who have an autoimmune condition because is freshly milled flour the thing that’s going to make it worse or make it better? In Michal Grappe’s case, it made it better. In fact, it was the thing that completely erased lupus from her bloodwork. She used a long-term restrictive diet to successfully manage her Guillain-Barré syndrome, but it wasn’t helping to prevent or manage lupus. When she saw a video explaining the benefits of milling wheat, she didn’t feel like she had anything to lose by giving it a try. Nine months later, the lupus was no longer showing on her bloodwork, her husband’s arthritis had improved, her son’s warts went away and her daughter no longer had a scalp condition. 
Come listen to all of the details in this week’s episode, including how much the Lord guided her along the way.
