It is packed with such valuable information and I love the episode on heavy metals. Jared and Anita dive into how a whole food, plant based diet can help with everything from low energy to chronic pain and diseases. It was eye-opening to learn about the hidden dangers of heavy metals in animal products and how plants naturally detox the body.

If you're not yet a part of our community podcast insiders experience, join us now. We'd love to get to know you more. It's poweronplantscom forward slashp I e. That's poweronplantscom forward slash pie. And then aubrey said amazing resource was such fun. Host jared and anita are so much fun to listen to. They are a wealth of information on so many topics regarding your health and plant-based eating. This podcast is a hidden gem. Well, aubrey, we don't plan on staying hidden for long. We're getting out health of information on so many topics regarding your health and plant-based eating. This podcast is a hidden gem. Well, aubrey, we don't plan on staying hidden for long. We're getting out there and trying to help as many people as we have, because we have big dreams and goals. Knowing how many of our clients' lives, this has already changed. I mean, think about being healthcare professionals. Like, how long did we spend, jared, as healthcare professionals before we got into Whole Food Plant-Based? Jared's a physician assistant and I'm a nurse and I mean we spent so many years helping our clients manage disease.

Speaker 2: 2:51

It was many years. For you as a nurse, for me as a PA, it was 17 years. I was a PA for 17 years before I learned these principles and then got certified in lifestyle medicine, and now I'm practicing it on a regular daily basis and love seeing the changes.

Speaker 1: 3:08

It's just so incredible. It's so incredible to be on this side of things, helping you to actually get real results, and natural, enjoyable way it changes everything, because we're all about helping you blow open the door of possibilities to what you can do in life, because you finally feel good and when you find the path to get you there that you actually love, that never makes you feel deprived, that you don't have to spend so much time doing or figuring out, because someone's already been there before you and has discovered the system that works. It just changes everything, and that's what we're all about. That's why we went into medicine and nursing in the first place. Right? We didn't want to help you manage your disease. We want to help you break free, to escape your health struggles so you can finally feel better.

Speaker 1: 3:56

Last week, we were telling you about discovering some incredible wild blueberry bushes in our neighborhood, and Jared shared one of the amazing revelations that he got from these bushes. If you haven't listened to that, you need to go back and hear it now, because it really is so good. You don't have to listen to either one of these in order, though, so if you want to finish this one first, it's fine, but make sure you don't forget to go back and listen to that one, because it really is a great one. But today I want Jared to share one more revelation that he got from the blueberry bush, which we both know after working with so many people and seeing them get massive results. This is a big key to changing things for you and making it stick.

Speaker 2: 4:34

Many times when I have these revelations, it's not just one, it's not just an isolated one.

Speaker 1: 4:39

So much so that we sometimes spend 30 minutes to an hour where he's trying to explain to me all the revelations that he got from one experience. And we're sitting on the back porch and I'm like, okay, I'm going to have to just take a break because I'm not following all the revelations, but they're really good. Like there's some great nuggets in there that can actually change your life. So I want to figure them all out.

Speaker 2: 5:01

Yeah, I had to pull out some paper and a pen and kind of write it down so I could draw it out and explain a little bit better than I was.

Speaker 1: 5:09

He literally like I'm holding in my hand the chart that he drew me. I'm not kidding, I ought to take a picture of this. He had two different tracks for the blueberry lessons. It's pretty awesome actually If you're married to a detailed person who, like Jared's mom, always said if you ask him what time it is.

Speaker 2: 5:27

I will tell you how to build a clock.

Speaker 1: 5:29

It's so true.

Speaker 2: 5:29

Yes, I heard that later in life and it stung a little bit because it's kind of true. But the story is in the details.

Speaker 1: 5:37

But God made you that way, and so it's good to be that way.

Speaker 2: 5:40

Yes.

Speaker 1: 5:41

So give us the details, bring it, because we got to hear the golden nugget, because this one was so, so good.

Speaker 2: 5:47

This was more like a sapphire nugget a blueberry sapphire nugget.

Speaker 1: 5:51

That's good, I like that.

Speaker 2: 5:53

Instead of a golden nugget. But after that, when we had picked the blueberries from the high branches, the ones that we pulled down the cups still weren't completely full and mama said you do not go home until these cups are full.

Speaker 1: 6:05

Mama did say that, I promise.

Speaker 2: 6:07

She did, and she was serious about it too.

Speaker 1: 6:09

Oh dead serious.

Speaker 2: 6:11

But we all benefited from it because we got so many. So we were looking at the blueberry bushes and we were trying to look for new ones. Were there any others that were packed full? We didn't see any, and so we started thinking well, what about the bushes we thought we had already picked, completely completely dry? Well, let's go back and look at them. Look at them from a different angle. I even got down and kind of kneeled to look at it from below and lo and behold, there were all these other blueberries we did not see because they were hidden by the leaves.

Speaker 1: 6:44

Now for total transparency. I think the reason we first discovered them is because some blueberries dropped out of somebody's bucket or hand and we bent down to pick up what we had dropped on the ground. And then we look up and we're standing up and there they are, just loaded from underneath. They were there all along. Right, they were there all along. They didn't just happen to grow in that very moment. They had been there all along, but we just didn't see them.

Speaker 2: 7:15

So that got me to thinking, as these things commonly do. These blueberries had been there all along. Now there are times when people will try whole food, plant-based, and we've had many clients where they say they've tried this before, didn't quite work for whatever reason, or didn't stick, or they didn't quite get the results that they were wanting. It's just so common, when we've worked with them and provided them with a change in perspective, that made all the difference. So in the case of the blueberries, once we had that change in perspective, we saw all these that were there all along ripe for the picking, and guess what? We filled our buckets, we filled our cups.

Speaker 1: 7:48

So mama was happy and so we achieved the gold it was a happy day. It was and it was so much fun coming home and taking those big quart size containers that we had from some strawberries we had bought and we had washed those and kept them to fill them up later with something else and we loaded them with the mother load of blueberries off these bushes. Yeah, mama was very happy about that, as was everybody else, because I wasn't the only one that ate those. I seem to recall they disappeared really fast. As a matter of fact, it's time to go back again.

Speaker 2: 8:18

We all chowed down and enjoyed.

Speaker 1: 8:20

It was awesome.

Speaker 2: 8:21

So if you're in that position, you've tried plant-based or you're in the middle of trying it, but it feels like it's not giving you quite the results. You need that change in perspective. With Power on Plants and Accelerator, we have the community aspect to it. During Accelerator and, for those that graduate Accelerator, we even have alumni. So we're there to cheer each other on, to give a unique and different perspective, to share things that we've tried. Sometimes you get one little golden nugget inside that community and it blows a door wide open for you.

Speaker 1: 8:55

And it doesn't matter how long you've been on this path. When you get around the right people and it's your family, and they've already been a step or two even further than you are. I mean, they could be miles down the road from where you are or that could be a step or two in front of you. You're going to get ideas as you share with each other, things you would have never figured out on your own. For example, the other day, on our most recent coaching call with our clients, we were talking and all of a sudden, just in talking, I had another idea I was able to share with them that I hadn't even thought of before, just because of the community aspect. So they're pulling out of us stuff that I hadn't even planned to share and teach them, just because we're all in community together and they're getting these nuggets and they're mining this stuff out of us and our experience that, yeah, I have things planned to say and share and we answer all their questions as we go, but sometimes there's not even a question. It's just in the discussing that the new perspective is gained. That happens so many times and then all of a sudden, everybody's going. I never thought about that. I never thought about it. Oh, I've got to try that. And then you leave and you're inspired and you're excited and you have these new ideas. I mean, so many times we have our clients say this is my family. Like, I don't want to miss this. I love this gathering together of like minds where I can come in here and talk to somebody that I just know, who gets me, gets the path I'm on, gets the food I'm eating and loves it too, you know, and it's so much fun watching the spouses too. There are so many times when the non-plant-based eating spouses start eating the foods and wanting to try them and taste and see. Just because they smell it, they can see what their spouse is eating, they see the changes they're getting and they get a whole new perspective because of what their spouse is learning, all these new perspectives that they're getting. But then what's so fun is you have this one new perspective and, lo and behold, it opens up something else. So here's then what happened. So I go okay, now we've picked all the ones from below and in my mind now I'm thinking what would happen if we look from up high down low. So I'm standing on my tiptoes, looking even higher up than we did before and guess what? More blueberries, more blueberries. So now, because of the new perspective we gained by dropping a few on the ground. Now we're looking up at it and we see all these berries we didn't know were there.

Speaker 1: 11:07

That new perspective made me think of another new perspective. Can you see the ripple effect here? What happens when you gain one new perspective and you're in community with each other and all of a sudden you're like, oh, I'm going up on my tiptoes, it's on. You're up there and you're looking from the top down and all of a sudden there's excitement. And you're looking from the top down and all of a sudden there's excitement, there's joy, you have new things to try and you have these simple steps already mapped out for you. But it's just in that community, like Jared was saying, that these new perspectives start to open up, and it's one on top of the other, on top of the other. Each one builds upon the next. It really is incredible how this works, and it works this way every time.

Speaker 2: 11:45

And, like you said earlier, you see the possibilities unfold.

Speaker 1: 11:49

Absolutely 100%. If you're ready and you're saying, look, I need new perspective. I need this kind of excitement in my life. I need to know what to do next. I need to be around somebody who's going to share these incredible things with me. Go right now, get on the accelerator waitlist right now, even if the doors are not open yet.
