What do you do when the thing your kid loves most gets taken from them in an instant? In this episode, Dustin sits down with Justin Hebert who is a registered dietitian, business development professional, cycling instructor, and Lafayette native, for a conversation that moves from nutrition and oil & gas to one of the most powerful stories of faith and fatherhood you'll hear this year. When Justin's 12-year-old son Grayson tore his ACL on a soccer field, Justin's instinctive response to his son's "why is this happening to me?" wasn't panic...it was purpose.

"We've been preparing for this." 

That moment became the foundation of everything that followed.

Justin opens up about guiding Grayson through surgery, rehab, and the slow rebuild. Not just physically, but in faith, identity, and resilience. He shares how a phone call from a friend whose daughter had gone through the same injury months earlier completely shifted the family's perspective, how he challenged Grayson to see the injury as the opening line of his testimony, and why he believes the trials we walk through aren't detours, but are the story. 

He also unpacks his philosophy on nutrition, whole-body health, and his new program Human Rewired, the random encounter in an Albertsons that landed the most important book in his hands, and the one piece of advice he keeps coming back to: slow down to the speed of joy. 

Faith. Family. Fulfillment. This is The Elevation Room.
