From nutrition and hormones to joyful movement and real-life faith, you’ll discover how to work with the body God designed so you can feel strong, energized, and fearfully fit. I like to explore the current trends- food, exercise, and lifestyle- and discuss who that trend will benefit and why.

Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
From keto to Mediterranean, intermittent fasting to plant-based eating — there’s no shortage of “best diets” out there. But what’s actually happening inside your body when you follow them?
In this episode, I’m breaking down the science behind the five most popular diets today — how they affect your metabolism, hormones, and even your genetic expressions. We’ll look at who thrives on each plan, who might struggle, and how to make sense of the ever-confusing world of nutrition trends.
Plus, I’m adding a bonus segment on fasting and the carnivore diet — two approaches that take fat-burning and healing to the next level. We’ll talk about when fasting is beneficial, how your body uses fat for fuel, and why some people see incredible results on an all-meat diet while others don’t.
If you’ve ever wondered why certain diets work for some people and not others, this one’s for you. By the end, you’ll have a deeper understanding of how food interacts with your biology — and how to find the way of eating that truly fits you.
