Welcome & The Problem Behind The Hustle

Anita 0:00

Our body's ability to take out the trash is greatly decreased. And so now you're pushing through, trying to survive, feeling like nobody understands what I'm going through. I have to keep showing up and doing the stuff. And because I keep showing up and doing the things that I'm required to do in my business, nobody thinks there's a problem. And I'm silently suffering, Googling symptoms, going to doctors' visits, trying to get them to help me get to the root cause of the problem. And nobody's mentioning why.

Jarrod 0:26

That's an excellent question.

Anita 0:28

When we know, when the research is there, it's been there for you. It's out.

Jarrod 0:32

Welcome to the Power on Plants podcast, home of the purpose-driven men and women who refuse to let their body become the bottleneck to their God-given calling.

Anita 0:41

If you're building a business, raising up the next generation, and carrying vision, but behind the scenes your energy is fading, inflammation is rising, your laughs aren't great, and you're wondering how much longer can I keep pushing like this? It's time to fix the fuel.

Jarrod 0:57

You've accomplished a lot in life, so you know you don't have a discipline problem and you're not just getting older.

Anita 1:03

Your body needs the strategy that matches your assignment. Whole plant foods the exciting, sustainable way that fuel razor shark focus, optimize energy, reverse inflammation, and the most common chronic diseases of our time. All while you enjoy every single bite.

Jarrod 1:21

So if you're done feeling older than you are and you're ready to show up strong, think clearly, multiply your impact, and actually love the meals that move you to optimal health. You're exactly where you need to be.

Anita 1:31

So grab your earbuds and let's maximize your power on plants. You were built for massive kingdom impact, but if your body's feeling more like a roadblock than a rocket, you're in the right place. This is Power on Plants, the podcast where we make increasing your capacity to fully show up, simple, enjoyable, and sustainable. I'm Anita Roussel, a nurse and certified integrative nutrition health coach.

Mission, Faith, And Food As Strategy

Jarrod 1:58

And I'm Jared Roussel, a physician assistant certified in lifestyle medicine.

Anita 2:02

In every episode, we show you how to fuel your body the way it was designed to thrive. So inflammation fades, your energy increases, labs improve, health struggles go, and you finally have the productivity your God-given dreams require. No exhausting dieting methods or restriction and no more having to push yourself to survive the days. We know there's so much confusing information out there about healing the body and not having the simple system that works is keeping you stuck. You should not have to manage a growing list of side effects or eat nasty tasting food in the name of health. So if you're thinking, I just wish someone would walk me through the exact steps to finally feeling good in a way that's exciting and enjoyable. So at last, that's what we do inside accelerator. You can learn more at poweronplants.com forward slash accelerator. And today we're talking about something that we love. And that is anti-aging. The truth is we don't want our bodies to slow down and we don't really want to look sick and nearly dead either. We want to look and feel alive. These are the foods that help us feel better. But this is about our appearance too, right? As entrepreneurs, you want to look good and you want to feel good so that you have the confidence to show up in any room that God gives you the opportunity to show up in and stop limiting yourself because you don't feel able.

Jarrod 3:23

A perfect example are the blue zones. I mean, in the blue zones, we see these are the societies that have the longest-lived individuals, but they're not just living longer, they're also living well for all those years. So these are people that hit their 90s and 100s and they're still very active. They're not sitting around watching TV, playing mahjong. They're out riding their bikes, they're out doing things, and that's what we want.

Anita 3:45

Right. And this makes me think about the idea of retirement. Because in our society, retirement's built into our system where we think, okay, we're gonna work X number of years. And by the time I'm this age, I want to retire. But are you really at the depth of yourself, dreaming of the time where you can just sit down and do nothing? No, because God's put a purpose and dreams on your heart. Retirement's not a biblical mandate. It's not a biblical idea.

Jarrod 4:11

It's not a biblical concept.

Anita 4:12

Where do you think it came from? I mean, we need to ask these questions.

Blue Zones And Rethinking Retirement

Jarrod 4:15

I would say the enemy because it has us dreaming of that day where we can just stop and not do anything. So we work 30, 40, 50 years trying to amass this money to then just live off of it, hoping and praying it lasts long enough until we finally go be with the Lord.

Anita 4:31

And then he makes the nutrition information confusing, overwhelming. And then we're in a society where we're taught to eat things that are actually damaging our health. And it's all so confusing and we don't know what to do. But when we have that epiphany and we realize, hey, God originally designed our bodies to be fueled in a certain way. So if I can show up and do that and oh, it's simple, oh, it tastes good, oh, I don't miss the old things that I like, we're free.

Jarrod 4:56

And I'm going to be fueled better now, but also in the future because when I hit my 60s and 70s and 80s and beyond, I'm still going to be strong. I'm still going to have clear thinking. My eyesight's still going to be strong. And why would you want to retire? Exactly. You're just going to sit around and let all your gifts and the calling that God has on your life go to waste. No, you're going to be seeking after that calling every day of your life until he calls you home.

Anita 5:23

Have you ever seen somebody, maybe it's a friend, maybe it's a family member who lived for that day that they were going to retire. And then they sat down in their recliner, turned on their TV, and their health declined day after day after day until they ended up in an early grave, not even being able to enjoy what all they worked for. If you're like us, you've probably seen it more than once. And it breaks our hearts because there's so much more to life than that. Yes, you may stop doing that exact thing he has you in right now. You may reach a point where you think this has reached its goal. Or you have someone else driving and leading that. And that legacy continues through the business. You don't have to be the hands-on. You're the idea person as the entrepreneur, but you can have it running where it doesn't require you all the time. And maybe you can step into another dream now.

Jarrod 6:08

So you don't retire, you may transition. And if you keep that wealth that you've created, that business, whatever it is, and you keep it going, then it continues to produce more wealth that then allows you to be able to bless others with it, bless people in your family, in your community, have that generational wealth that you can then pass on to your children and your children's children. How amazing would it be if your children could start life? They don't have to struggle to pay for a house. They don't have to struggle to buy a car. Yes. When they get married, hey, here's you a house. Be blessed in your marriage. They get to start life without all that debt looming over their head.

Purpose, Legacy, And Generational Impact

Anita 6:47

And that's biblical. That is absolutely the word of God. Have you ever read John Maxwell? This conversation is making me think of John Maxwell. If you haven't, pick up no limits. That's the book I'm reading right now. It is blowing my mind. He's talking about blowing the cap off your capacity. We have all this capacity built into us from God, all these dreams, all these abilities to do things. But every time the enemy comes trying to steal, kill, and destroy us, when we don't understand the principles of the way God set things up to work. But when we know how to harness his methods and we plug into the user manual, all of a sudden we know how to eat. And it's the easiest thing we've ever done. And lo and behold, it loves our body back. Now we're gold.

Jarrod 7:26

In the electronics world, there's a device or there's an element called a capacitor. It works much like a battery. I won't go into how it's designed, but every time I hear you say capacity, I think capacitor. Well, it is storing up a certain amount of electricity. What happens if we don't take care of our electronics and it gets rusty? And the plates on the inside that create where that differential is that stores that energy, they get rusty. If the little leads that come out of that get rusty, it won't function. It won't be able to hold all the capacity it was made to hold. It won't be able to discharge it properly. It's not going to function and it's going to wear out and die.

Anita 8:03

So we know whole plant foods, beyond the shadow of the doubt, are the anti-aging foods. And we're going to show you that today so that you can see. We're going to dig deeper into the science for those of you who like to listen to why is it exactly that these are the foods that work this way? We know it's true with the blue zones. Jared brought that up earlier. Those are the places where people don't only extend their years, but they add more life to their years. And that's what we're going for. So today we're going to talk about six ways that these act in real life as the anti-aging foods that empower us to fully live our calling.

Jarrod 8:40

The first way is that whole plant foods help with cellular protection repair. I'm going to ask you, Anita, have you ever heard of antioxidants? Yes. We've heard that word used a lot. A lot. But I don't know that it ever really gets described of how they provide protections. Well, what they do is they help prevent molecules, free radicals. These are byproducts of just cellular processes that happen. And if they're not handled, then they can cause damage to necessary molecules, which then causes a breakdown in the mechanism.

Anita 9:14

So they're basically unstable molecules.

Jarrod 9:16

Unstable, it'd be like rust getting in a clock. You start getting rust on the gears, and some of the teeth start breaking. Well, pretty soon your watch is not going to be able to tell time anymore. And that's what happens. So the antioxidants are like lubricant or oil inside the gears. So they help keep it from rusting, because you know, oil and metal helps keep it from rusting. So then the teeth don't break down, and then the watch continues to tell time. Keeps doing what it was made to do, tell you the time. Now I recognize that you are not a clock or a watch. You're way more sophisticated, but the antioxidants do the same function. They help to prevent that damage that prematurely ages our cells. So that way it keeps us young and younger for much longer. I want that. Everybody wants that. That's why we're here.

Anita 10:00

That's why we love these foods. And then next is telomere preservation. These foods are incredible at this. What are telomeres though?

Capacity Mindset And The “Capacitor” Analogy

Jarrod 10:08

That's an excellent question. I mean, if you're not in the biological realm, you may not have heard that word before. Telomeres are caps on the end of our chromosomes. Now, chromosomes, they are where our DNA is stored. The importance of telomeres is that when they're bigger, the cells are younger, they're more vibrant, they multiply, they keep adding to our bodies. But as those telomeres get shorter, the cells get older. And then when they get short enough, they stop making more cells and then they eventually die. So what we have seen in science is that if we can maintain healthy long telomeres, then it keeps our bodies younger.

Anita 10:49

So basically, shorter telomeres are related to aging. So they get shorter as we age. And it's also seen in age-related diseases that people have shorter telomeres.

Jarrod 11:00

Yes, but they get shorter not just because we age, but because we also make bad food choices. But the beauty here is that if we make good food choices, whole food, plant-based food choices, that we can actually lengthen them.

Anita 11:14

Isn't that shocking? Stop and think about that for a minute. And the way they get shorter is they lose their caps.

Jarrod 11:21

They lose their caps.

Anita 11:22

That reminds me of something. Does it remind you of something?

Jarrod 11:25

We were talking about this the other day. And our son, when he was younger, he read this book called Caps for Sale. And he would go and put every hat on his head that he could, and he would go around, just like in the book, walk around caps for sale, 50 cents a cap. And then each time you sell one, you give the cap away. Well, in the book, there were these monkeys that would steal his caps. And the gentleman got very upset. Now, if you've never read the story, he's not carrying the caps. He doesn't have a cart. He puts every cap he has, all of them. And I think the drawing had something like 20 or 30 caps. So he would just put them on his head and sell them that way.

Why Whole Plant Foods Are Anti-Aging

Anita 11:58

So that would be a healthy telomere.

Jarrod 12:00

That would be a very healthy telomere, yes. But then the story: monkeys would reach down from a tree, steal his caps, and the stack of caps got shorter and shorter.

Anita 12:09

So the monkeys like the enemy or the sabotaging foods we're getting. Yes. It could also be the lack of the healthy nutrients that we need. I think it's a one-two punch, yeah.

Jarrod 12:18

It is, but it's a one-two punch, not in a good way, because eating very highly processed plant-based foods can be damaging as well. We want to go to whole unprocessed as much as possible. Getting to the whole foods is what helps to lengthen telomeres.

Cellular Protection And Antioxidants

Anita 12:33

And while it shouldn't surprise us that whole plant foods have this effect because they're the Genesis 129 foods. It's the God diet, right? Basically, it's the thing he told us to eat. These are the things that God originally made our bodies to be power fueled on. And so now research is showing us down to the telomere level, which is on our chromosomes. So they have seen this, they've studied it, they've looked and magnified it and seen how these lengthen. The caps are added back on with whole plant foods. And that is one huge way that these foods reverse disease, reverse aging. We feel more alive when we're eating these foods. Our skin looks better. It's glowing. People talk about their hair starts to shine again. It starts growing longer. Mine's gotten thicker. I don't have the acne I had anymore. The adult acne is gone. All these things that start happening with our bodies, the diseases going away. It shouldn't surprise us when we start looking at what is science actually showing underneath the surfaces going on. There's so many things we don't see on a regular basis. And that's what we want to open your eyes up to today. Why are these foods causing reverse aging? You want to reverse age? You've just found the fountain of youth. So so far we've covered how they protect our cells and repair them, how they lengthen our telomeres. And the third thing is they reduce inflammation. And we know inflammation is their root cause. Jair and I are about root-cause resolution. And these foods knock inflammation out of the park. And that's one big reason that they work for healing so many diseases naturally.

Jarrod 14:13

So at the first point we talked about that can help with inflammation because you're not allowing damage to happen inside the cell. This that we're talking about for point number three is that plant foods have compounds in them that actively help to calm down our inflammatory response. So our body will release different chemicals that cause inflammation that are like chemical messengers. They say, hey guys, we got a problem over here. Come on over here. When that's an acute injury, that's a good thing. We need that. That's part of the healing response. But that process can become chronic and go on indefinitely.

Anita 14:49

So it's day after day assault of the same foods that are causing problems, getting the foods that are fueling the problem, not getting the foods that are calming the inflammation. And so now you have this one two punch, is what we call it, where your body just can't keep up anymore. It's chronic inflammation over time that causes all these issues.

Jarrod 15:09

And so within these plant foods, we have things that help to actively suppress inflammation. So then it helps to stop that chronic inflammatory response.

Telomeres Explained With “Caps For Sale”

Anita 15:19

So I think about berries and leafy greens and turmeric and ginger, all the plant foods. I mean, don't why pick one, two, three, or four? You can attack inflammation with so many different foods, but the enemy has you worried about I'm not getting this nutrient and that nutrient. Okay, we know that there are tens of thousands of nutrients they've discovered they haven't even named yet. What about all the other ones that are in there that we don't even know about that reduce inflammation in these foods, that lengthen your telomeres, that protect and repair your cells? Isn't it exciting?

Jarrod 15:51

It's very exciting. That's why we get on here every week and share this stuff because we love sharing the good news. And number four, plant-based foods help to enhance something that we call autophagy. Now it sounds a little bit mysterious, but all that is is your cells recycling cellular debris. So any molecules that it produced that it's no longer really using, components within plants can help to stimulate that process.

Anita 16:19

So what you're saying is this is taking out the trash or taking out the garbage.

Jarrod 16:24

You're getting rid of the garbage, yes. So if you had a house and you never vacuumed, you never swept, you never cleaned your countertops, it would get kind of nasty.

Anita 16:32

So you know how when you have a really busy week and things start piling up around the house, perhaps in the kitchen sink, perhaps shoes by the front door, whatever it is that you haven't been able to keep up with, how over time that makes living your life harder. That's exactly what's happening inside ourselves when we're not getting whole plant foods. Our body's ability to take out the trash is greatly decreased. And so now you're pushing through, trying to survive, feeling like nobody understands what I'm going through. I have to keep showing up and doing the stuff. And because I keep showing up and doing the things that I'm required to do in my business, nobody thinks there's a problem. And I'm silently suffering, Googling symptoms, going to doctors' visits, trying to get them to help me get to the root cause of the problem. And nobody's mentioning whole plant foods. Why?

Jarrod 17:18

That's an excellent question.

Anita 17:20

When we know, when the research is there, it's been there for years. It's out there, it's been out there for decades.

Jarrod 17:26

It's just not being taught in the institutions. So we don't come out armed with that knowledge.

Anita 17:32

But you're here and you now know better, so you can do better. So you're going to look for ways to find your new favorites, get them on your favorites. Let's that's why I hammer this all the time. Well, I'm not the person who keeps journals, I don't like keeping up with this stuff. But think about this if you keep doing the same things the same way, you're gonna get the same results. What is keeping you from opening notes and jotting down one food item a week or one meal a week that you enjoyed eating, like sweet potatoes, comma, black beans, comma, salsa. Okay, it just could be a food formula. It doesn't even have to be a recipe. If you jotted down just one a week, I don't have time any one, you tell me you seriously do not have time to open up notes and jot down one recipe or food formula a week inside that same note that can now be your growing list of new favorites. You don't have time not to. You don't have time not to. If you don't want to age and grow old before your time and have your body give out before your calling is complete, you don't have time not to do this. One a week. How many will you have at the end of the year? If you just jot down one food formula or one plant-based recipe that you enjoyed per week on Notes app or inside paprika, if you have that app that we absolutely love. We show you how to use that inside accelerator to optimize your health, to finally start feeling good. But start now. One a week, you have how many? 52 a year. Most people only eat nine things on repeat. So you're going to be way ahead of most people if you just do this one thing.

Inflammation Reduction At The Root

Jarrod 19:06

You may be thinking of the time investment right this moment, but think about the amount of time that you will save later. If you've ever stood at your refrigerator, open the doors, you're looking in, thinking, what am I going to eat? I have nothing to eat. Then if you have done this for a year, you now have a list of 50 plus different ideas that you can scan. Then look in your fridge, like, oh, I got some sweet potatoes. I made some extra the other day, and I've got a couple sitting here. Let me crack open a salsa, let me crack open a can of black beans. And you left out one ingredient, Anita, avocado. You got to put avocado. Yeah, I put a few slices of avocado on that. Now you got dinner. It didn't involve cooking. It didn't involve a recipe. It didn't involve measuring. And you've got goodness in your bowl.

Autophagy: Taking Out The Cellular Trash

Anita 19:50

What would become possible for you if you never had to ask again, what am I gonna eat? Or you never had to say, I don't know what to eat. Just start picturing. I want you to start envisioning what's going to become possible for you in your business, in the kingdom impact, in the legacy, in the revenue that you can use to grow the kingdom, right? Our lives are about his kingdom come. This is not about just helping somebody get healthy for us. This is a kingdom movement. You are joining a movement where we can all band together, finally feel our best, reverse age, look our best, show up at maximum capacity so we can bring his kingdom come to earth. So, how is that gonna look for you? What are the things you dream of doing now that you can't even imagine doing? If you're taking action on these podcasts, I want you to start envisioning now what is gonna become possible for you. Because as you are taking action, what we know and we see time and again is when people plug into our system in Accelerator, we teach our five-step system, step one, step two, step three, step four, step five, you're already learning some of the things inside of those steps here. As you start doing this, you are going to start feeling better. I know maybe it's hard to believe because you just want to feel better and you haven't been able to escape and get to that place. But as you start eating more and more of these whole plant foods, because they are the anti-inflammatory foods, because they are the anti-aging foods, you are going to have so much opportunity open up for you. And if you don't start dreaming before that time arrives, you'll reach that point and you won't know what to do. So start dreaming again. Allow yourself to start making plans. Envision it. Close your eyes and envision what your life is going to look like. Picture the people you're going to be helping, the results they're going to get through your business. How are you going to feel? Start feeling those feelings now and know that that is going to be your reality as you start creating this momentum. Because what we don't want you to do is not start dreaming, not start doing those things, not start thinking about them and arrive at that point, which on the regular we see type two diabetes reverse. High blood pressure goes back to normal, cholesterol reversed, inflammation go down, autoimmune diseases reverse, all these different diseases. The weight finally drops off. You feel good, you're looking good. Now what do I do? Because it's been so long since you've been able to dream and do those things. That's what whole plant foods are going to make possible for you. So I want you to start seeing it now because that is your future. You're not going to allow the enemy to keep stealing your calling. You're going to get more of these amazing foods on your plate that are going to take you to the place where those dreams are your reality.

Jarrod 22:34

And let these dreams inspire you to make these changes if you aren't already doing them. They become your big why. Now, one other point I want to make about autophagy is you can achieve autophagy by fasting for 24 hours or more, or you can eat some strawberries. What would you prefer, Anita?

Anita 22:52

What would you go for? Strawberries all day long, baby. Bring it on. Bring it on.

Jarrod 22:56

I think I would rather the strawberries myself.

Anita 22:58

So are we then backing the strawberry diet? Are we saying all you can eat strawberries to get an autophagy?

Jarrod 23:04

No. No, because there are many other foods that also help to stimulate that whole process.

Anita 23:09

And their whole plant foods. So get a lot of them, a wide variety, different colors. These were the foods that were just created to do this. And think about this: all this stuff was going on with these foods before Adam and Eve even knew it. God just built these things into these foods.

Jarrod 23:23

I talked to my patients about how all these things were in food before we even knew what they were. And we've only known what they are for the last one to 200 years. But yet they were still there. They were still working and they were still optimizing our health. All right. So now that is four points. Point number five, whole plant foods optimize our microbiome. All those good gut bugs that live inside of us.

Anita 23:46

And you've heard of leaky gut, right? This is what we're talking about here. You have these good gut bacteria that live inside your intestines. They eat fiber. Guess where fiber comes from? Whole plant foods. You only only plant foods. Only plant foods. So if you're not eating enough whole plant foods, those bacteria die off and they maintain your gut lining that is one cell wall thick. They're maintaining that. So what happens when those good gut bacteria die off because they're starved to death, because they're not getting enough whole plant foods and they're just getting animal products and processed foods. Yes, even the clean ones, because animal products contain no fiber, but whole plant foods are full of them.

Jarrod 24:29

So when your good gut bacteria die off, the pathogenic ones start to flourish, they take over, they start wreaking havoc on your gut lining. Then the gut lining breaks down, then you get holes which cause the quote unquote leaky gut. Things come into your body that were never intended to. Now your immune system says, wait a minute, what's all this stuff coming in that we don't recognize? And then it creates an inflammatory response.

Anita 24:52

Because your body says, for an invader, and all the alarms start going off, and your body goes into full defense mode and it starts attacking whatever's coming through. And sometimes it attacks your own body at that point, and that becomes autoimmune disease.

Build Your Favorites List And Momentum

Jarrod 25:06

75% of your immune system is associated with your gut. And it makes sense why it's that way, but it's not meant to create five alarm fires, it's meant just to keep an eye on things. Normally, the beneficial bacteria keep the bad guys at bay. So that way our system, they're just monitoring. They're like the prison guard that's looking at the little TV screen saying, All right, guys, we're just making sure everything's going like it should and keep everything at bay. Then they don't have to go through all that inflammatory response. Now, also, too, the good gut bacteria release things that we use. So it's a give and take relationship. We give them a nice home to live in, give them delicious food full of fiber. They then make products that we use. Things like butyrate, which is a short chain fatty acid, which is a known anti-inflammatory agent. So that imagine that. And it lowers inflammation in the gut, but it gets absorbed into our bloodstream, circulates everywhere in our body, even our brain. So what goes on in the gut affects everything in our body. Amazing. And the final pathway that we're going to talk about today is caloric density. Plant-based foods are just naturally the lowest calorie density food on the planet. And many studies have shown that when you restrict the calorie intake, it increases longevity. Now that doesn't sound very fun because that sounds like fasting. And they've done studies where fasting can increase longevity. But I think when you start from the standpoint of a very high calorie diet with a lot of oils and a lot of animal fats and things like that, you almost have to fast to get into that point where you have lower calorie, restricted calorie. But if you were to eat foods that, what is it, two cups of broccoli has, I think, 60 calories. Oh my word.

Anita 26:53

Usually let it blow your mind the amount of food you can eat, no restriction. That's why this is a no restriction way of eating. You can eat so much food eating this way and feel satisfied and feel full and love the way it tastes. And now you're golden because you're filling your life with these anti-aging foods and your body's not slowing down and you don't feel sick and nearly dead, and you look and feel alive and you're showing up, living your purpose. How is that gonna feel for you? It changed our lives. It absolutely changed our lives.

Jarrod 27:26

That's amazing, is what it feels like.

Anita 27:28

Just imagine one thing. Imagine one thing with me. So it's nighttime. You've passed out long before. You've already had a nap, and now you're just like trying to get the kids ready for bed and dragging yourself there so you can crash and setting your alarm so you remember to wake up in the morning. So it'll drag you out of the deep sleep you finally got when your body was finally able to go to sleep because of the heavy foods and the inflammation and all the things that are going on. Now imagine instead of setting your alarm to have to wake you up in the morning, you were setting your alarm at night to remove yourself to go to bed because you had so much energy. You kept working and doing things, not needing to push your body through. It just kept showing up for you. That's my problem now. I used to constantly drag myself through my days, thinking, oh my goodness, I just wish I could get my body to feeling good. I wish it would show up for me. I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired. There was no having to set my alarm at night to remind myself to go to bed. I was living for the time when I could fall into it. And I would get into it as soon as I possibly could after I kept pushing myself, pushing myself to get done what I had to get done that day, and putting off what I could put off till tomorrow because my body just wouldn't do it anymore. It just gave out at the end of the day.

Jarrod 28:39

Now she was putting off things that she didn't absolutely have to do that day. It's not because she wanted to push them off. It's because she had to. That was the survival mode that she was in at the time.

Microbiome, Fiber, And Leaky Gut

It's a heartbreaking way to live. And I understand if you're there, what we want you to walk away with is hope today. These are the anti-aging foods. It has been known for a long time. Look up the blue zones. If you haven't done that yet, you're going to see it's not age, it's not bad genes. What's happening is we're in a society where we're bombarded by false information, even being told that we need to fill our plate with all animal products and carbs are evil and bad for you. That is so twisted. And what they're not telling you is look at the root, what is going on underneath the body. Yes, you might get results if you change the way you're eating to any different way on the outside, but look at what's going on on the inside because that is ultimately what's going to reflect long-term what's on the outside, what you're able to accomplish, not only the length of years you're going to have on this earth, but the amount of life that you're going to put into those years. And that's what we're about is the life. We've been given life, and we are to have life abundantly to the full, to the overflow, so that it doesn't just affect us in amazing ways. It overflows to all those we're called to connect with, to impact with, and to help.

Imagine all those people that you are now able to serve and how your life positively impacts their lives. And then it keeps going on and that impact grows exponentially.

Think about it. We've only covered six of the reasons why these are the life-giving foods. And those six reasons are cellular protection and repair, telomere preservation and lengthening, inflammation reduction at the root. This is root cause resolution. This is what we are about. Enhanced autophagy, where the garbage gets cleaned out, microbiome nourishments so you have a healthy gut instead of a leaky one. And naturally low caloric density, which increases longevity pathways. So what are you gonna do? That's the biggest question from this episode. I want you to walk away and think at the end of every episode. So what am I gonna do with this? Because I tell you what, you can be a gatherer of knowledge. But until you let that knowledge drop into you and you have a revelation from it, and that revelation moves you to action, nothing is going to change. But you have the knowledge and potential, just after listening to this one episode, to reverse age and finally feel good and have the body that's fully showing up at full capacity for you so that you can have maximum revenue in your business, so you can reach the maximum number of people, having maximum kingdom impact. That is what we're all about helping you achieve. And these are the foods that make that possible. So, what is one thing, just one thing you're gonna do this week? Perhaps you might want to just find one meal that you like that's an upgrade from an old favorite. Like, oh, I love lasagna, Anita, I can't live without it. Okay, well, go to poweronplants.com forward slash cookbook and grab our cookbook bundles where we're gonna show you how to make lasagna the delicious way that tastes as good or even better than mama's.

Just have a list, know where it is, and make it simple for yourself and jot those things down. The title of it, where you found it, what cookbook, what page, whatever's gonna help you get back to it the quickest, a link, whatever it is, a food formula. Like we said, it doesn't even have to be a recipe. We share food formulas here with you. I'm just thinking about right now. I mean, I'm so excited for you. I am so genuinely excited because I know what's about to become possible for you. We have walked hundreds, if not thousands, of people through this framework. It works, it works, it works.
