Speaker 1: 0:00

If you have the TV on for any length of time, you're likely going to see commercial that says Milk Life. This is extolling the virtues of milk and dairy. Now it is over there with the quizzical look, because Milk Life.

Speaker 2: 0:14

What does that mean?

Speaker 1: 0:15

We've not really heard the message of Milk Life all that much because we got rid of cable TV. What 17 years ago?

Speaker 2: 0:22

I'm just sitting here thinking when did that become a thing, and what does that even mean? It's so nebulous milk life.

Speaker 1: 0:29

That was actually the word I was thinking of nebulous. It's one of those things where it kind of sounds good. Maybe it's borrowing from that whole salt life type campaign.

Speaker 2: 0:37

Oh, that's what it is.

Speaker 1: 0:39

Well, I don't know, but it sounds good. But previously what we had heard was got Milk.

Speaker 2: 0:46

We grew up on Got Milk, and it's very clever, right. We didn't grow up on Got Milk.

Speaker 1: 0:52

Got Milk started in 1993. No way, the year we got married, oh, it did so prior to that, we grew up on milk.

Speaker 2: 1:02

It does a body good.

Speaker 1: 1:04

Yes, that campaign ran until 1994, which I thought it actually lasted a whole lot longer than that, but it actually ended the year after we got married.

Speaker 2: 1:12

I wonder why it ended. Why are they not still using it? Does a body good? I mean, doesn't that sound a lot better than got milk or, even worse, milk life?

Speaker 1: 1:23

It does sound a lot better, and in this episode we're going to challenge the assertion of does it really do the body?

Speaker 2: 1:29

good. Hey 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?

Speaker 2: 1:50

Hi, we're Jared and Anita Roussel, Christ followers, healthcare 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 to traditional routes. 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. We are so glad to have you joining us again today, and if this is your first time, welcome to your new whole food plant-based family.

Speaker 2: 2:48

You're going to find that things are a little bit different around here than some of the other plant-based platforms, and that's okay. We've all got to be ourselves, right. And this is where you're going to get the real down-to-earth information. We're laying it out for you piece by piece, because Power on Plants is all about helping you to finally feel your best, to learn how to stay on the plant-based wagon, or the healthy eating wagon, if you've never tried plant-based before. We hear all the time you're struggling, you don't know what to do to stay on a path that's going to keep you well and make you feel good so you can live your God-given calling. After all, that's why we're all here. You have a purpose, you have a mission, you have a reason. You were created, and what we want to ask today is does milk really do the body good? Is milk, is dairy going to set you up for the life that you want to live?

Speaker 2: 3:46

Now you're talking to the real, bonafide dairy queen I've dubbed myself this years ago. Actually, Jared might have dubbed me this years ago. He didn't call me the specific name, but there's this little story about when he went shopping. If you haven't heard it, go back and listen to the other podcast episodes. You'll find out how I got the name Dairy Queen. But it's a real thing.

Speaker 2: 4:08

I used to love dairy. Now am I telling you? Oh, all of a sudden, everything became roses and butterflies and I got over my love of cheesy and creamy things. No, I still love cheesy and creamy things and I still eat cheesy and creamy things, but I don't eat dairy anymore, and there's a reason for that. And I also the best part, I don't miss it. See, one of the biggest keys for you in escaping the health struggles that are holding you back is getting away from the foods that are sabotaging your health. And the way those foods are sabotaging your health is that they have a stronghold on you because you love the way they taste or you love the texture they bring to your food, Like dairy and cheese. We love those foods. I grew up on those. I was a sour cream fanatic.

Speaker 1: 4:54

I don't think there was a dairy product you didn't like.

Speaker 2: 4:57

No, no, there was not. I mean, it was sour cream and dairy yogurt and milk and ice cream you name the kind of cheese. I was pretty much a specialist on it. I had tried them all. I love cheese. I think it was a family thing. Honestly, my whole family was like that. Still to this day, many members of my family that I know of are just cheese crazy. They put it on everything.

Speaker 2: 5:20

There's a reason I was having vascular trouble. There was a reason I was addicted to it. Yeah, it's a real thing. Jared's going to probably get into that today I have a feeling he is. But there's a reason. These foods are actually addictive.

Speaker 2: 5:33

So the problem you're having and breaking free from them isn't really your fault. I don't want you walking around holding a lot of guilt and thinking it's got to be me. I keep being told do this, do that, and I've tried it and I lost 25, 50, 100 pounds in the past and then I gained it all back. Well, there's a reason that that's happening to you and it's not your fault. You just didn't know how to break free, and we're going to show you exactly how to do that in our upcoming course accelerator. I'm getting more and more excited by the day. We've laid out this course and I'm in the middle of taping it for you, getting all the final touches on the PDF guides, everything you're going to need to walk you step by step to plant based joy, so that this lasts.

Speaker 2: 6:13

Why would you want to take on another lifestyle that doesn't last? You eat it. You can push through for a while. You don't want to set yourself up in a quote lifestyle and you've just changed the word from diet to lifestyle because it makes you feel good, but really you're applying those same old methods to this new way of eating. That's not going to work. You've got to learn the framework, the formula for breaking free, and that framework includes learning how to get off the foods that are keeping you stuck, such as dairy, but you've got to have the foods that taste good to replace it.

Speaker 2: 6:46

But why in the world do you even not want to eat dairy? That's what we're talking about today, because sometimes you don't understand why it matters. Oh, it's not that bad If you're like us. Before, we started Whole Food, plant-based, when we were our sickest and we thought we were eating healthy and clean because we were eating meat and all this dairy, but we were eating it from a farm and it had no added hormones and it was the clean version, right, but still we were sick. Why is that? Because it's not healthy for our bodies, and Jared's going to talk a little bit about why that is.

Speaker 1: 7:20

First of all, is milk healthy? Now, it would seem like it is, because we've been hearing these messages all of our lives. Milk, it's nature's most perfect food, and that's true for the baby, so for humans. Human milk is perfect for human babies and for cows. Their milk is perfect for calves and every other animal. It's perfect for them during that stage of their lives.

Speaker 2: 7:45

And it's perfect for growing a calf into a what?

Speaker 1: 7:48

Into a cow.

Speaker 2: 7:50

Right, so right. There is one simple reason we don't want to eat dairy, and this is why we're struggling with weight. If you're eating a lot of milk products, you're eating something that is based on a liquid that was created to grow a calf into a cow.

Speaker 1: 8:10

Over a very short span of time if you think about it. Humans are the only thing on this planet that drink milk from another species after infancy. No other animal drinks the milk of another animal After infancy. No other animal drinks the milk of another animal. Now I do not equate humans and animals. I make that differentiation. So we are not animals, we're humans. But nowhere on the face of this planet does anything drink the milk of something else, and especially not after infancy.

Speaker 1: 8:39

So that right there already gets my wheels turning, thinking, well, why are we doing this? I mean, that does make it seem kind of odd, kind of strange. But we're told milk, or we're told milk is nature's most perfect food. And so we grow up with these messages and we think, oh, pure milk. And it's always portrayed in this positive light. So we have this association and we know milk has calcium in it. We need calcium, so thus we must be milked. And then we get here all the advertising on TV, radio, magazines, billboards. So now we just have it ingrained in us that this is pure food.

Speaker 2: 9:19

And then there was the food guide pyramid that we grew up with. That didn't help a whole lot either.

Speaker 1: 9:23

I don't even remember where milk was on. That whole pyramid Dairy was on there, it was on there and it was pretty big from what I remember, and this was endorsed by the US Department of Agriculture.

Speaker 1: 9:34

So our government is telling us that we need this, but somewhere along the way milk does a body good disappeared. Well, why is that? Well, there were different health groups that were starting to challenge that whole assertion of is it really a health food? And what is found in studies and research is that it's actually not good for us. Studies show that it causes inflammation. One of the key components of that aspect is within milk. There's lactose, which is a sugar made of two simple sugars. You have glucose hey, we know glucose but then there's galactose, which is found in milk.

Speaker 2: 10:14

Now, you just mentioned lactose there, and we know that a lot of people are lactose intolerant, right?

Speaker 1: 10:21

Correct.

Speaker 2: 10:22

So it's interesting because you were mentioning to me earlier this week about an interesting milk product for people who are lactose intolerant. I want you to share a little bit about that, because that just blew my mind.

Speaker 1: 10:36

Well, lactose is the primary sugar found in milk. Now, as infants, we have the enzymes needed to break that down. As infants, we have the enzymes needed to break that down, but as we get older, we lose that enzyme because we should no longer need it beyond infancy, and many people are lactose intolerant. So when they drink milk, it causes a lot of gas and bloating because they don't digest it, but the gut bacteria do and it creates gas and it creates uneasiness. So what Anita is alluding to is there's a special milk out on the market that is supposed to be for people that are lactose intolerant. Now, I used to think that they pulled the lactose out of that, but they don't. What they do is they add the enzyme that we no longer have, which is lactase, so that it pre-breaks it down for you. Which is lactase, so that it pre-breaks it down for you, but you still have the glucose and the galactose, which are the simple sugars that make lactose. The significance of that is is part of the inflammatory process found in milk comes from the galactose.

Speaker 2: 11:38

Isn't that interesting. So you're still getting the inflammatory molecule drinking the milk that supposedly helps you digest the lactose, but it's already pre-digested for you in this product, so you're still getting the byproducts of the lactose.

Speaker 1: 11:53

You are, and the significance of that is is that we know with research that it's the galactose that creates inflammation. We're told drink calcium because it makes your bones stronger. Numerous studies have been shown, with as many as 100, 200,000 participants in these studies, that the cultures that drink more milk or eat more dairy actually have a higher incidence of hip fractures.

Speaker 2: 12:18

Yeah, they have more broken bones. I remember reading that in several different studies. Yeah, it should blow our mind. I mean, what in the world? So if we need milk products for calcium, for strong bones, wouldn't it make sense that if we're drinking more milk than other cultures, we would have stronger bones and less fractures? But that's not what we find. According to the research, we find that we actually have higher numbers of fractures. Some things amiss there.

Speaker 1: 12:44

And as people get older, they get more susceptible, as we have a reduced capacity to detoxify or metabolize galactose. So as you get older and you have a higher risk of fractures. What do people typically tell you? Drink more milk, eat more dairy. It has calcium, yikes. Well, this is a question that I ask my patients. Where do cows get their calcium? Cows adult cows aren't drinking milk. Where do they get the calcium that goes into the milk that then goes to the calf?

Speaker 2: 13:18

These are the questions that we should all be asking, not just swallowing the marketing messages. Where do cows get their calcium Right?

Speaker 1: 13:28

They get it from plants. They get it from plants. I mean, ideally they should be eating grass and dandelions and things growing out in the field. Now in the modern food industry they're probably eating corn and soybeans and other food lot type products, not fresh grass roaming out on the fields Like we like to think, on the side of the carton where it says happy cows Probably most of those cows aren't all that happy, not like we think they are. So that was one element of dairy. Another one and this really I would say it was a shock, a surprise, but it shouldn't have been. Dairy is very high in hormones and I never thought about that and we've talked about this before on our podcast how we would buy the no hormone added milk never really thinking it already naturally has hormones in it.

Speaker 2: 14:17

We have to ask these questions Seriously. Why did I never ask that for so many years? I was adamant about buying dairy cheese milk and I was so particular to make it healthy for me and my family, I was trying to do the right thing. So particular to make it healthy for me and my family, I was trying to do the right thing. And we're not saying, oh, shame on you. We're saying shame on the companies for making us think that we're doing something better when we're buying a product that is filled with hormones by nature just because of what it is. It is a female cow's mammary secretion that is filled with hormones by nature.

Speaker 1: 14:54

And if you were the same, you're not alone. In a survey done, 50% of people had no idea that it just naturally had hormones in it. So now the next question is well, what hormones does it have in it? Naturally, there's estrogen. It's got a high amount of estrogen. Estrogen, it's got a high amount of estrogen. And cows only produce milk when they're pregnant or have been pregnant, and that process of lactating, making milk, has continued.

Speaker 2: 15:21

Or are kept pregnant. Let's bring that in. I don't want to get into animal cruelty.

Speaker 1: 15:25

Well, they're kept pregnant and that takes me in also to the Holstein cow was actually modified genetically to where it could get pregnant while it was already nursing, which under normal circumstances. If an animal or human is breastfeeding an infant, that's going to inhibit a further pregnancy Now, not 100%, but that's kind of how it goes and it makes sense because, as you're taking care of one infant, it may draw resources from the body if you get pregnant again. But with the Holstein cow it was genetically quote unquote improved so that it could still get pregnant even while it's producing milk. But what happens during that is that you have all those hormones of pregnancy and where do they go?

Speaker 2: 16:12

They go into that milk, into the milk.

Speaker 1: 16:14

So you have higher levels of estrogen. So there's a study where they looked at six boys when they drank two cups of milk. A couple of hours later, their estrogen levels quadrupled.

Speaker 2: 16:25

Wow, quadrupled. That ought to shock you right now.

Speaker 1: 16:28

They did a similar study in men. When they drank a liter of milk, their hormone levels didn't quadruple, but they raised significantly.

Speaker 2: 16:36

And we're worried about tofu. Just wrap your mind around that for a minute, please. Let's get real here. Tofu is not the problem. People honest to goodness. We know people who won't let their families eat tofu because they're worried that it's going to make the boys less masculine. You're not going to eat enough tofu to do that, and the estrogens in tofu are not the same as the ones in dairy. They're actually beneficial to our body and they're not estrogens.

Speaker 1: 17:10

The phytoestrogens found in soy are not estrogens. They just can activate certain specific estrogen receptors that have a protective effect and they do it more weakly. Meaning W-E-A-K, it's a milder effect, so it's protective. We know that it protects against breast and prostate cancer, so it's not exactly the same thing.

Speaker 2: 17:32

But estrogen is not the only story, though, here Wait, but so we've got estrogen in tofu that we know is protected because it's linking onto those estrogen receptors.

Speaker 1: 17:44

Correct the beta estrogen receptors which actually inhibit cell proliferation, and they also will actually stimulate nitric oxide production in your blood vessels to help lower blood pressure. So it's actually a protective effect.

Speaker 2: 17:58

Not so with the estrogen in milk and milk products.

Speaker 1: 18:02

No, because they are estrone, estriol, estradiol. These are the natural hormones that we find in our bodies. It quadruples those levels in children. It significantly can raise it in men. But estrogen is not the only story. What's even, higher than the estrogens are prolactin, which prolactin is a hormone in the body that stimulates the breast tissue to make milk. Well, in women it stimulates that, but in men it can actually inhibit the production of testosterone. So you have higher levels of estrogen and then the prolactin can decrease the production of testosterone.

Speaker 2: 18:41

Now. He's about to get me lit up right now, because what we see in our society is many men today having problems with testosterone and the things that that leads to. We're not going to get into blood vessel damage and blood flow problems because they're not eating plants and they're eating dairy and meat. We're not going there. We're just talking about one thing here with milk. Think about how much milk and how many milk products that the majority of men are eating today. And then they come to the doctor and they want to know what to do about testosterone being low and the problems it's causing. And they're getting put on medications for that without ever being told or asked or talked to about their dairy intake. Think about that for a second. Wrap your mind around what's happening here. This is just one of the problems.

Speaker 1: 19:31

Yes, and the higher the fat content of whatever the dairy product is just one of the problems. Yes, and the higher the fat content of whatever the dairy product is, the higher the level of estrogen. So we see that in cheese and things of that nature, you'll see higher levels of estrogen. Estrogen will also survive through whatever processing the milk goes through, so that it's still there, because we might think well, I'm not drinking raw milk, I'm eating cheese or sour cream or whatever the case may be, it's still there. And there's so many different products such as cheese, sour cream, butter, milk you name it.

Speaker 2: 20:02

But then those products. We think yogurt, oh, it's healthy. Well, unless it's plant-based, you might want to think again.

Speaker 1: 20:08

And then how many products use milk of whatever sort, whether it's butter or dairy, in it? I mean, it's so many.

Speaker 2: 20:17

Oh, it's everywhere, and you might even get a coffee creamer that's dairy free, that has dairy in it.

Speaker 1: 20:22

Now, that's a little different, that is, they put casein in it.

Speaker 2: 20:26

Yes, yes, it's the protein that's lifted out of it.

Speaker 1: 20:29

Well, this is what you're talking about before, about dairy being addictive. It is addictive, it is addictive.

Speaker 2: 20:35

I was addicted to it and you may be addicted to it too. But I'm going to tell you there's hope, because Jared was sitting there and he was talking about something he said earlier, like why you want or don't want to drink milk. I'm like I don't have any desire to pick up any milk product anymore. Not butter, not cheese, not sour cream, not yogurt, not all the different cheeses I used to eat Parmesan, cheddar, smoked gouda, you can name all that stuff and I'm telling you the hold is 100% broken and the fact that that's happened, I would say, is nothing short of a miracle, knowing myself before. But it's the testament to how amazing whole plant foods are when you know the simple, enjoyable and tasty way to prepare them. I'm not kidding you Like. I'm sitting here right now with a drink in my cup and a smile on my face, and it's a plant milk-based drink. I didn't have to buy plant milk, I just put some nuts and milk in with my drink and now I have this delicious chocolatey, peanut buttery shake. Creamy, it's creamy, it lights me up. I don't miss it.

Speaker 2: 21:41

You have to set yourself up where you have your new favorites and they have to be the same types of things, especially in the beginning. To get you started when I say that, I don't want you thinking, oh so I can only have it for a little while, and then I have to break off of it, kind of like a vegan junk food bridge. No, no, that's not what I'm saying. What I'm saying is, after a while, you will have to have those exact same things all the time. I still drink this quite often, several times a month probably, but I don't feel like I have to have it every day because I have other things I like.

Speaker 2: 22:12

Your mind is going to explode at how restrictive the standard American diet is and how limitless eating whole plant foods is, and how joyful and fun it is when you understand how to make it exciting. You have to know the steps and once you know, you will never miss dairy again. I promise you. You will learn how your body will clear out. You will not be addicted to this protein, casein, anymore. But casein is in cow milk for a reason. It's not evil. It's just not good for us because it's not human milk.

Speaker 1: 22:47

Well, we didn't explain about casein, that the body converts casein into something called casomorphin, which acts like morphine on the brain. So it gives that, ah, that feel good feeling, which for a calf, is necessary because it has a positive association with mom. That's where my nourishment's coming from. It keeps it coming back, but then when it's an adult cow it weans off of that. It doesn't have it anymore and there's really no need for it anymore.

Speaker 2: 23:13

And that's great for a calf that you want to grow into a cow, but not so great for an Anita who's standing in line at the grocery store with a buggy full of dairy products. That is not good for Anita. And there's so many reasons why we're just scratching the surface here. But you've got to understand you're addicted to these things for a reason. You're struggling with these things for a reason. You're having health issues for a reason and these are just a few of the things that are going on that when you break free from them and you know how to live in a way that's healthy for you. This is why you see whole plant-based helping with so many different health issues. We're not making this stuff up. We're not just saying, oh well, it works for high blood pressure and high cholesterol and extra pounds and autoimmune disease and cancers and type 2 diabetes and it can prevent and even reverse these things and it helps with allergies and skin issues. Like we're not making this stuff up, we see it happen every single day.

Speaker 1: 24:07

And the research backs it up. And we're not the only providers out there preaching this message. I wish more were. Oh, yes, but there are still those out there, but, I would say joyfully, every year that number is growing as more and more people learn about lifestyle medicine and they join with the American College of Lifestyle Medicine or the American Board of Lifestyle Medicine and start showing this to their patients, start getting on podcasts and start teaching this stuff so that everyone can know.

Speaker 2: 24:38

It's seriously another big wake up. It's a part of the wake up that's happening today. We've got to understand that these marketing messages are out there and these things have been set up by our enemy. You know we always hear, oh well, this company's out to get you or that's out to get you, or whatever. There's something bigger behind it than just the companies wanting the money and all that.

Speaker 2: 24:58

I'm not getting into it right now. We are gonna dive into that some in Accelerator, because you need to understand where this stuff is coming from and why you believe these things and what the things you believed are that actually are not true. And then you're going to be able to get set free, because if you don't know the myths you believed and you don't understand why you believe them and you don't know how to replace them with truth, you're going to keep staying stuck and struggling in the same health struggles you've had time and time again, like me with my cheese addiction. Listen, I totally get it, but you can still have your creamy soups, your creamy oatmeals, your creamy mashed potatoes, your cheesy sandwiches, your cheesy burritos and bean dips, all those things that you love. You can still have those things.

Speaker 1: 25:49

We're just going to do it in a little different way, but not an inferior way.

Speaker 2: 25:52

And not a hard way.

Speaker 1: 25:53

Not a hard way, but I would say a superior way, clearly with health, but also with flavor. We do not miss anything about dairy. At this point We've gotten past that whole casomorphin issue, because I remember eating pizza and that first bite.

Speaker 2: 26:07

It was just that oh, and I never really thought much about it.

Speaker 1: 26:13

But now, retrospectively, I can look at it saying that was the casein hitting my morphine receptors in my brain, giving me that little dopamine hit of. Oh, this feels good Now that we're past that, but we have foods that we love, and love even more than what we were eating before. We love this life.

Speaker 2: 26:31

Oh yeah, absolutely. There's no doubt about it. We wouldn't even think about going back and you will get to that same place. Nothing tempts me. I'm not tempted to have a cheat day. I don't ever think about having a cheat day. It's not because I'm some superior person. It's not because I have more willpower than you either. I don't have to willpower through because I've set myself up with the lifestyle that I love, using a five-step framework that works. It works. It works. Once you can break free from these things and you know what to put back in their place. What are you going to miss? And if you miss something, we're there going, okay. Well, this is what you do instead. Here's the ingredient you use instead, here's the baking method you use instead, and it is so much easier and so much quicker. And then you start getting results. You feel great. You're dropping weight without dieting and all those miserable methods, and everything just starts falling into place and you now find yourself living the life you love in every single way imaginable.

Speaker 1: 27:30

This reminds me of something. Several years back, when we moved to Florida, we had come down here on a vacation and the county we now live in thought wow, these are the most beautiful beaches. We had no idea that this even exists in the United States. And then we started thinking why not create a life we don't need a vacation from? So that's what we did.

Speaker 2: 27:50

Oh, such a great example, such a great example.

Speaker 1: 27:53

But that's what we're doing with the Power on Plants method here, We've created a life we don't need a cheat day from, because we love what we eat. It fuels our body well, we feel great. We miss nothing.

Speaker 2: 28:07

Preach it, brother, preach it, that is it.

Speaker 1: 28:09

We miss nothing.

Speaker 2: 28:10

I mean, what a great thing. So you set up the lifestyle that you don't need to escape from. So what Jared's saying is we were coming down here for one week, maybe two weeks a year, in a great year, and we lived for those weeks and the rest of the time we lived in a place that we were just kind of surviving. So we thought, why not set up the lifestyle that we're going to love living every single day? And so now we live in the place that we vacationed in before and every day we can walk outside and we're walking in the palm trees and the fresh air and we can get to the beach if we want to. It's the same thing with your lifestyle. So what Jared is saying is and that's brilliant, it's the same thing with what you eat. Set yourself up for the lifestyle of eating in the way that you don't need an escape from.

Speaker 1: 28:53

Exactly. Brilliant, you're not suffering through six days or 13 days so that you can have that one day a week or one day every couple weeks of. Well, now I get to eat the things that I like, which, with the standard American diet, is going to sabotage your health. We eat the stuff that promotes our health, that fuels our body well and fuels our body to health, and we eat that every day and we love it and that right there is freedom.

Yes, it is. We could go on and on and bring up more reasons why dairy isn't healthy and how the marketing messages have set you up. The main point is we want you to understand that where you are with your health struggles it's not your fault. It really has been a setup in so many ways and you just didn't know. But now you do. You've listened to 300 and something podcast episodes. If you haven't go back and listen to them, you're going to be set free, episode by episode, and at some point along the line when you're ready to finally feel your best and start implementing step by step as you listen, and at some point along the way, you're going to say I'm done, I'm ready to go in, to do whole plant foods and to stop falling off the healthy eating wagon. I need someone to walk me, step by step, through the framework that actually works. That's going to set me up to make this lifestyle exciting. That's going to allow me to break free from all those foods that had a hold on me before that I just couldn't seem to get rid of, where I'll be able to eat what I want. I'm going to absolutely love it, desiring these foods. They're going to make me feel amazing, and now I find myself living the life I've always wanted to live. I'm running and playing with my children and my grandchildren. I'm not stuck in the kitchen for two hours. I'm actually out, making memories with the ones I love and serving others while my meal cooks itself at home. I mean, these are the types of things we're talking about here Time freedom, body freedom, where you no longer feel stuck in your body. Your body actually works for you instead of against you. When you are ready, we are here for you. This is absolutely a no pressure atmosphere, but why wait another day? You have the answer that you need right here. This is what you've been praying for.
