Plant-Powered Performance for Purpose-Driven Leaders
You could serve 10x more people if you had the stamina. You know it, your team knows it, and God knows it.
Here's what nobody's saying out loud: You've built a high-level business running on fumes. You teach discipline to thousands but secretly can't control your own fork. You're crushing it on stage with a body that's quietly falling apart backstage, and the brain fog that cost you that deal last week? The exhaustion that made you cancel again? Every single "I don't feel good" day is someone who needed your breakthrough but didn't get it because your body tapped out early.
Your body is the bottleneck to your calling, while you're watching your peers decline at your age. Some already dropped out, but you refuse to be next. Your parents got sick when they hit your years, but you’re determined that will NOT be your story. If you've thought, "I know how to scale, but my body won't fully back me up," you’re in the right place.
Jarrod and Anita Roussel have spent nearly 5 decades in healthcare working with kingdom leaders like you who have big God-given vision while their bodies keep breaking down. Here's what they learned: You don't need another diet, because diets don’t provide sustainable results. What you need is your body to finally cooperate with all that God has called you to do.
That's why they created the 5-Step Accelerator Blueprint rooted in Scripture and whole plant foods, but here's the part that matters most: It actually works for people who don't have time for 3 hour meal prep or eating food that steals their joy. It’s time to escape the miserable attempts at health that involve calorie counting, obsessing over points at business dinners, and pulling out your phone to calculate macros when you should be building relationships and closing deals.
Welcome to the food that optimally fuels million-dollar decisions, meals you can make in hotels, energy that lasts through back-to-back stages, and a body that finally feels as strong as your calling.
Here's what you'll get every episode:
The energy to say YES to every God-given opportunity without wondering if you'll crash halfway through. Mental clarity for the decisions that actually move the needle. The stamina to show up strong when thousands are counting on you, no more barely “surviving” the day. We'll show you how to stop the inflammation that’s stealing your focus, reverse what you were told was "chronic," and know exactly what to eat without all the exhausting mental gymnastics that completely waste your brain power. You'll learn to make meals you love in minutes that actually taste incredible, get hours back for what grows your business, and watch your labs improve right alongside your income.
This isn't just about looking better in photos or fitting some ideal image. This is a movement of Kingdom leaders and entrepreneurs, banning together proclaiming to our enemy, “You can NOT steal my health anymore!” This is about finishing what God started in us, serving others and expanding God’s Kingdom together, and being the grandparent who runs with our grandkids instead of watching from the sideline. Having the stamina to fulfill our ENTIRE calling, not just the parts you have energy for left over after dragging through another exhausting day.
Your business has a ceiling right now, and your body set it. We're going to show you how to blow the roof off, breaking the generational health curse so your kids never have to fight this battle, and turn your body from the thing holding you back into the greatest business asset you have.
If you're done leaving Kingdom impact on the table because you're too tired to pick it up, hit subscribe and press play. Fuel Your Body. Fulfill Your Calling. This is Power On Plants.

Revisiting Old Favorites
Speaker 1Well, hello there, sunshine.
Speaker 1Jared and I are so happy to have you joining us for another episode of Power on Plants. We love showing up for you and sharing how incredible, enjoyable and delicious whole food, plant based living can and should be. It's not hard, it's just new or a little different from what you're used to when you eat the standard American diet. That's why we keep showing up to share with you how simple, enjoyable and tasty this way of living can be, because it can transform everything for you. Now, if you've been with us for long, you know how important finding your new favorites is. This is something we talk about all the time, and there's a reason for that, because finding your new favorites is key to making whole food, plant based living sustainable for you. If you're not yet completely comfortable with finding your new favorites or you think you know I'd love to learn more about that you'll want to come into our free group podcast insiders experience at poweronplantscom forward slash PIE, because in there you can search every single episode. What does that mean for you? You can go into the search box and type in your new favorites, or just new favorites. It is going to pull up every time, in every single episode that we've said new favorites or finding your new favorites. And not only will it pull up episodes where it's the title or part of the title, it will pull up exactly where we've said those phrases for you, so that you get the exact information you need when you need it. This is game changing. But on today's episode, we're not talking about finding new favorites. We're going to share with you how to revisit the old. This is just as important, and we can't wait to get this information to you. Here we go.
Speaker 1Hey sister, welcome to the Power on Plants podcast. Are you tired of staring into the fridge wondering what to eat so you can just feel better? Do you want to avoid spending hours in the kitchen making complicated meals in the name of health? Would you love to leave fatigue behind and finally have the energy to do all the things you want to do? Hi, we're Jared and Anita Roussel, christ followers, health care professionals, parents of four and big fans of great tasting food. 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 the traditional route. So we dug into the research and created our secret nutritional weapon sustainable plant-based living. The truth is, you can eat more whole plant foods and it's not hard. You just need the way. That's realistic and delicious so you never feel deprived. 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. So grab your favorite plant-based cup of happy pop in those earbuds and let's get started. Hey there, sunshine, welcome to this episode. We are so happy to be hanging out with you again.
Speaker 1If you're the type of podcast listener who skips through the intro, realize that we share a lot of very important information there, and this episode is no exception to that rule.
Speaker 1So you need to go back and listen to the intro of this before you continue on. Now that you've heard the intro, you know what we're going to be talking about and you have all the information you need, so you don't miss out on the things we've already talked about that are going to be crucial to your long-term sustainability with whole food, plant-based living. Today we're talking about something that we really haven't talked about before, but it came up on a recent trip, when I surprised Jared and took him to the beach for our 31st anniversary. Now, he had no clue that we were going to do this and, if you don't know, we have four children, our oldest of whom is 19 years old. I am embarrassed to share this, but y'all know we're all about being real, so I'm just going to tell you right now it has been 19 plus years that Jared and I have gotten away overnight together.
Speaker 2Together. That's important.
Speaker 1By ourselves.
Speaker 2Sometimes we've had to make some trips separately, but together overnight, without children.
Speaker 1Without children. Can you believe that? That is insane. Why do we wait so long? Do not do that to yourself. This is crucial for your marriage. It is so important.
Speaker 1We came back, we were refreshed. We talked about stuff we hadn't talked about in ages. We have new plans. We were so creative. The course was coming together even more quickly while we were there. It just was such an incredible time.
Speaker 1Listen, get together, even if it's a staycation. Get away with your spouse if you're married without the children involved, even if it's a staycation and you're only 30 minutes away. We didn't go far because we had other things coming up that week, but we got away to a place where we could get our feet on the ground, get outside together, take strolls together, discover new restaurants together. Oh my goodness y'all. We found the best place to eat in our area. They have some incredible vegan, whole food, plant-based options, but that's not all. They have many oil-free ingredients and they also carry mostly organic. It may be all organic. I'm actually thinking it's all organic. We asked questions about everything we got and I was just in shock. I was floored and let me tell you it makes such a difference when you can find a place like this in your area, and if you can't, you can always have them. Leave things out. I don't want you to get discouraged by this, but I want you to understand that there may be places in your area that you have not discovered yet. Discover them, because it's going to bring you joy.
Speaker 1So we went in and we ordered. We got some smoothie bowls. They were amazing. They had nut butters with no oils in them whatsoever that were organic. I mean, it was just delightful. And you may think this makes no difference at all, but I'm telling you, getting the oils out are key.
Speaker 1Getting the highest quality ingredients into your body is huge If you want to feel your best. Stop aching, start having more energy, the energy that you need to get things done in your life, the things that God's put you here and called you here to do. And the way you do that is make daily decisions for yourself. Do not get overwhelmed and start thinking I've got to do everything all at one time. The more you do, the easier it is going to be for you, and we're going to show you exactly how to do that, step by step inside the course, so that you won't get overwhelmed. But sometimes you need to get away, to get clarity of thinking and just have some quiet time to yourself to figure out these important things and discover these new things that are already there for you, that are going to help you get to the next level.
Speaker 1And for us, finding this restaurant was one of those things. And after, we had our smoothie bowl and let me tell you, quality makes all the difference, because we did not feel bad afterwards, but not only that it tasted amazing. Honest to goodness, best smoothie bowl hands down we've ever had. We had two different kinds I tried yours, you tried mine. It was delicious. There was a little envy, but it was because they were both so good. Like, how do you choose and have I don't know how many more choices six, seven that we didn't even try?
Speaker 2I cannot wait to go back, but we will.
Speaker 1It's going to be awesome, but here is the thing. After that I saw the juice shots and I started thinking you know I'm not doing that anymore. Why am I not having those anymore? So I picked one up and bought it. On the way out, the door Drained my juice shot. It was exactly like the kind I used to make. It was anti-inflammatory and immunity shot, so it's hot spicy.
Speaker 2It had ginger in it and it packed quite a kick. She let me sample it and I thought this is exactly what we used to make. And then the question dawned on us why aren't we still doing this?
Speaker 1What about our old favorites? Yes, why have we left our old favorites in the dust? I'm going to show you ways that this is not going to happen to you. In the course, we're going to go over, step by step, how to keep from forgetting your old favorites. This is so important, but today I want to share with you the first step. I want you to start thinking and brainstorming.
Speaker 1What were those things that I used to do for myself, especially the foods I used to eat that I loved, that were good for me, those habits that I got into? Like, maybe I was juicing a certain juice and I noticed that when I did that, I felt great. But now I'm not juicing anymore. Or maybe I'm not doing that exact same combo. Maybe it's a meal you ate and you just absolutely loved it. It was an old favorite and it was healthy. Oh, it didn't have any oils, it didn't have bad ingredients, it did only take me 5, 10, 15 minutes to prepare. Those are the kind of old favorites you don't want to drop off your radar. So today, this is your key takeaway Take some time to yourself in a quiet space, get away for just a little bit and think about. What are those old favorites, those things I used to do for my body, food wise that made me feel amazing. What were the things that I used to eat? Or maybe it's just even not that long ago, but at the start of your whole food plant based journey that you were doing a couple of weeks or a couple of months ago that you've already forgotten about. Figure out what those things are and get them back into your lives. Start today doing those things for yourself. You won't believe what a huge difference this will make for you and how much joy it will bring. So I'm sitting there drinking this shot, this juice shot, and I'm thinking this is amazing. 10 minutes later, I already feel better. 30 minutes later. Wow, I have so much energy now.
Speaker 1As you know, if you followed along on our journey, energy used to be a problem for me. I used to have to force myself to stay awake, and since we've been whole food, plant based and gone all in, I do not have to force myself to stay awake. And since we've been whole food, plant-based and gone all in, I do not have to force myself to go to bed at night anymore. I have so much energy. Jer's going. Look, we got to get up, turn out the light, go to bed. Morning will come soon. Let's go to sleep. You can get up and do this all over again, but there's so much joy in having energy once you've had none but I'm talking like this is next level. When I do the G shots, it is next level. Why did I stop doing that? That's why I looked at Jared and I went. Why did I stop doing this for myself?
Speaker 1So what are those things that you used to do for your body that made you feel so great and so energized? Like I said, maybe it was earlier in your whole food plant-based journey. Maybe it was before you started eating whole food, plant-based, but it didn't have any little oil or bad things in it. It was just something you were already doing. What are those things? Get those things back into your life and watch how quickly you start feeling better.
Speaker 1So it is time right now, sunshine, to start rediscovering your old favorites and then get inside Podcast Insider's experience and look at finding your new favorites, or new favorites, and it is going to pull you up to every single episode where we've ever talked about finding your new favorites, which also ties in with your old favorites. You're not going to believe how they tie in, but you're going to see the connection when you start listening to these other episodes that it is going to pull up for you, gather in a collection for you, right there at your fingertips.

It's amazing for us to see these things happening just inside the free group. I mean, this is life changing.
Speaker 1But maybe you're already in there and you're not using the search function. A lot of you, I don't know if you're even using the search function that little magnifying glass that's down in the lower right hand corner. Press it and start searching those things you want to know more about and then come back in and share what you've learned Y'all. If you haven't heard this episode, go back and listen to this. You can share things like that. This has changed my life. This is what I've started doing as a result. Here's what I'm going to try. As a result, you start sharing more with each other the things that you're learning from the podcast using that search function. It is going to get you so much farther, so much faster than you could ever go alone Trying to figure all this stuff out. You have almost 300 episodes at this point, and when you're listening to this, it may be 400, 500, 600 episodes, because every episode we create goes into that vault of curated content for you.
Speaker 1I don't know anybody else who's doing this. This is our heart for you. I'm not saying we're better. I'm saying God gave us this idea. He wants you to have this. He's laid this at your feet. Going here is the help you've been praying for. Take it, take it and use it. We want to see you using it and getting those results.
Speaker 1Now, why wait for the course to come out if it's not out yet? Absolutely. We are going to walk you step by step through everything you need to know, because it's important to get these steps in a certain order and to be able to have the time with us to dive deeper Because I'm going much deeper in the course, because I have more time to do that in a way that is systemized for you to take you by the hand and walk you and say here is step one, just focus on this this week.

And here is the community where we're going to dive into each week together, and here I am to do coaching calls with you and we're going to get on live and there's going to be replays if you can't be there.
Speaker 1I mean we are thinking of every possible way that we could lay this out to make it simple, enjoyable and delicious for you. This is not just I'm going to go whole food plant based on my own, try to figure it out, like Jared and I had to do, and take years and years of our life trying to piece this stuff together, digging into the research, looking at. Is what this person says true? Is that what's true? No, you need to have those solid facts and this stuff is already there to get you started.

Well, because I stopped thinking about them. You're going to get back into those old habits that were great for you and before long, you're going to start getting results. We've literally seen this happen in as little as one to two days, I'm not kidding. This can change everything for you. What we've shared today, it is gold.
