To be well takes discipline.
To be well, you gotta deny theflesh.
Nobody sets out to say I'mgoing to kill myself.
They don't realize that theyfeel the way they feel because
of what they put in their body.
It's just lack of knowledge.
And the word says we perish forlack of knowledge.
Three principles to achieveoptimal health.
Number one eat God's food Meat,fish, fruits, vegetables, nuts,
seeds, grains, legumes that'sGod's food Principle.
(00:28):
Number two eat it as close tohis original state as possible.
Eating it raw is going to bethe most health benefit.
So don't allow your belly to beyour God.
All of this stuff, all thesevices, all these additives, like
that is really like notallowing us to truly be the
person that God designed us tobe.

We're going to be talking abouteating to heal and I really
want to break down your journeyof when you decided to become a
priority for your own health.
(01:39):
Okay, so we gotta go way back.
Just we gotta go back.
So let's tell the people alittle bit about because you've
been married over 30 years.
Yes, you've got three beautifulchildren.
You have created thisphenomenon where people might
not have been so passionateabout health.
Health is one of those thingswhere we know it's important,
(02:00):
but it's like we'll get to itone day.
But you have helped over 10,000people.
That's a massive number.
Helped with chronic disease,like get their life back.
You're literally influencingsome of the most powerful people
Dr Eric Thomas, number onemotivational speaker in the
world yes.
When you think of change chart.
(02:21):
Dr Darius Daniels, like TiffanyMontgomery, like.
These are huge names that youare making sure are healthy,
that they can actually performto the best of their ability yes
, Based on your advice, as aprofessional like you have been
able to do so much.
And for the woman that isinspiring now, hundreds of
(02:42):
thousands of people on socialmedia videos going viral when we
think about that woman yeah,how she started, how she decided
.
You know I might have a lotgoing on.
I'm a wife, I'm a mother, I'min the military.
I've got all this going on, butI have to be a priority.
Like, what did that day looklike?
Well, I would tell you that.
(03:03):
So my journey.
First of all, I've always hadan interest in science and
health.
Like I was going to be thephysician, I was going to go to
medical school.
Like everybody knows me too, Iwas going to be an athletic
trainer okay, okay, I was.
I was going to be apediatrician okay, I love.
So that was it.
So I went to high school for thehealth professions yep, in
houston, texas.
So I was in the sports medicineprogram.
So I used to cheer and then Iwould fix the athlete oh, wow.
(03:25):
So that that's been me all mylife science and health.
Everybody knew it, we know Ididn't go to medical school.
I did take the MCATs Okay, okay, okay, I did.
But by that time I knew that'snot what I wanted.
But my interest in health neverleft and so I just became the
go-to person behind the scenesin the military, at my church.
You know I was over the healthministry, like, always loved it.
But before it was just physicalfitness stuff.
(03:50):
Yeah, it wasn't reallynutrition.
Okay, there is a difference.
There is a difference, right,so you can be fit and still not
well, you see.
So when I think of wellness,that's mind, body and spirit,
right, so nutrition didn'treally happen.
My eyes I like to say Godremoved the scales off my eyes.
It was in 2009 when I waspregnant with my third child at
the time, and it was actually afriend of mine who came by our
(04:11):
house and she gave me a book.
It was called Eat this and Liveby Dr Dawn Colbert.
She said read this book.
It's going to change your.
It changed our lives.
It's going to change your life.
And I read that book and it waslike God removed the scales off
my eyes and I realized I waskilling my family.
Wow, with the food I was givingthem, I literally sat my two
(04:33):
children down at the timebecause I was pregnant with my
third and I said mommy's killingme, literally.
I told them the word.
I just don't want to say that,like to admit that.
To me it was empowering becauseI knew I could change it.
Yeah, like you see, I tell thepeople if you did it, you can
undo it, right, and so I wasgoing down the wrong road.
So we just need to switch Right.
We need to change, because Ididn't know anything, because it
(04:53):
all looked good to me Like Iwas eating trash.
I grew up in Houston, texas.
I ate everything soda, right.
There were no vegetables right.
So I had my friends show mewhat was good, what was bad.
We cleared out my cabinets, mypantry, the refrigerator.
We started over.
That was the beginning and Iknew from that point I was going
to like heal my body right WithGod's food and I just went from
(05:16):
there.
But that was the beginning.
So physical fitness I've beendoing already.
Right, I had already done abodybuilding competition, I had
already trained.
I knew that part.
The nutrition part is somethingdifferent, because there are
people right now who look fitbut still are diabetic, still
have high blood pressure.
So it's not the fitness we needit, but we need food more than
anything.
Like food.
God's food heals the body.
(05:37):
Physical fitness doesn't killthe body.
The food heals the body.
So why do we struggle so muchwith that?
It's food heals the body.
So why do we struggle so muchwith that?
Like it's the hardest thing toget that control up because
people don't mind working out.
It's like listen, I can do alittle brisk walk, I can go to
the gym.
I remember back in the day, andI don't know if they still do
this Remember when PlanetFitness used to have pizza?
Oh, yeah, bagels, uh-huh.
(06:05):
Fitness is not about wellness,see, fitness sometimes, uh, that
can be an idol.
Yeah, fitness is about the lookit's about.
You know, it's not about howyou feel.
Necessarily, fitness is moreabout the look.
Well, he's talking about wellbeing well.
Yeah, right to be well takesdiscipline.
Yeah, somebody say, well to befit, takes this one too.
But it's a different type.
Like that's just total physical.
Like to be well, that's mind,body, spirit, that's a mental
thing.
You gotta do some mentalgymnastics to be well right,
(06:26):
because you got to deny theflesh.
And that's the part Keeping awoman denied of flesh.
You're not denying the flesh togo work out, to be well, you
got to deny the flesh.
And that's where people gethung up.
I remember when I had to admitto myself that I wasn't well, it
took me looking at footage ofmyself.
I had the opportunity to do aTEDx Major stage, right, so
(06:47):
excited to see the footage.
Look at the footage.
I'm like who is that?
She is a major speaker, but whois that?
She looks familiar, but thatcan't be me right.
I went to the doctor.
They were like you'repre-diabetic.
I said I'm sorry what I'm like,but I'm not eat that my sugar
I'll end up.
And then I had to have anhonest conversation with myself.
Like I have to be consumingthat sugar, that's right.
(07:07):
I have to not be a priority,that's right.
And being a caregiver for mydaughter for the last two years,
it became eating forconvenience and not eating to
fuel my body.
So then I had to do a deepanalysis of, like, what am I
putting in my body and why am Inot a priority?
And I'll never forget.
You know, as a new mom, you gotthe little bullet, little baby
(07:30):
bullet.
I'm cooking all the food littlebroccoli, all the stuff but I'm
still going to Chick-fil-A.
So I'm thinking, like you knowthey're saying all the stuff she
got going on, you know,shouldn't have preservatives.
There was a time where you knowshe can't have dairy for him.
She had nothing, yeah, but I'mstill eating the stuff that
they're saying could kill her,make it, make it look just like,
(07:51):
yeah, why are we killingourselves?
Why are we doing all of thediscipline, as as wives you know
, sometimes preparing a reallygood meal for your husband, yeah
, but then you didn't preparefor them, for yourself.
So, like, where does that comefrom?
From women, where we are notthe priority?
Like we can prepare a meal foreverybody else, yeah, but then
(08:12):
we're the ones killing ourselves.
Well, I don't think they, Idon't think women are looking at
it like that.
I just think they haven'tconnected the dots that how they
feel every day has everythingto do with what they put inside
their bodies.
Like nobody, nobody sets out tosay I'm going to kill myself,
yeah, they don't realize thatthey feel the way they feel
because of what they put intheir bodies.
Like nobody's made theconnection.
So I don't think it's about usputting ourselves last, like we
(08:45):
are nurturers and that's kind of, but I think it's more.
It's ignorance, right, yeah,they have not connected the dots
.
People tell me all the timethey're like who know?
I've gone to all these doctors.
Like nobody ever told me to eatgod's food.
Yeah, who knew that somethingas simple as eating god's food
could change all of this I gotgoing on my body?
It's just ignorance.
It's lack of knowledge, and theword says we perish for lack of
knowledge, right.
And so they're told oh, get youa people ask me for a meal plan
(09:05):
, a meal plan, a workout plan.
I said meal plan ain't breakingno generational curses, right,
yeah, that's not, you know, Iknow.
It says we perish for lack ofknowledge, not a lack of a meal
plan.
I said, well, we need iseducation.
Yeah, right, and so I, you know, I want to educate you, teach
you how this body works, becauseonce you learn and you know,
then you can make your own mealplan.
So don't come to me by no mealplan, but I can give you this
(09:27):
knowledge, though, yeah, nobodycan ever take that away and you
can pass that on generation togeneration.
That's true, right, and we canbreak it for real.
So I tell the people like youare the hope, yeah, for the
generational health of yourfamily, you are the hope.
So let's talk about this god'sfood.
Now.
It feels simple, right, yeah,yeah, because it's got to be
real.
Uh-huh, it's what he gave us,that's right.
So why?
Why do we make it so hard?
(09:47):
It's like we, we don't mindeating god's food, but we want
to eat a little bit of satan'sdessert.
You know what I mean?
Well, can't we mix up a littlestuff like so, okay, let's talk
about what god's food is.
Okay, that is okay.
God's food is meat.
Okay, fish, fruits, vegetables,nuts, seeds, grain legumes
right, that's god's food.
I feel like that includes a lotof things, yeah, but that's not
(10:10):
what people eating, likeeverything outside, that's a lab
experiment.
So people are eating labexperiments, right, and so so
you talk about god's food.
So I have these things calledthree principles, right, three
principles to achieve optimalhealth.
Number one eat god's food.
I just said what that was right.
I'm saying again meat, fish,fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds,
grain legumes that's god's food.
That's principle number one eatthe food god called food, yeah.
(10:32):
Principle number two eat it asclose to his original state as
possible.
So, so, not the saute, not theis, but notice that the minute
you change it from its originalstate, it's going to lose
something, right, and so I wouldsay, yes, eating it raw is
going to be the most healthbenefit.
So eat it as close to itsoriginal state as possible.
(10:53):
So, eat the apple versusdrinking the apple juice, right?
I mean, if you're making thevegetables't kill your
vegetables, right, and I tellpeople I know, big mama, you
know I made it that way, butsometimes you gotta consider the
source?
That's true.
You're saying big mama,probably not.
Well, yeah, okay, look at thepeople that you get these
recipes from, okay, how theylive it right, how they feel
right.
How many medications are theyon?
That's true, okay.
And so the the broccolishouldn't be mushy.
(11:15):
The the greens shouldn't bemushy, the you know those things
like you're killing it, likethere's no nutritional value, so
in as close to its originalstate as possible.
And then, principle number threedo not allow any food to become
your guide.
So let's break that down,because when you listen,
addiction is real.
Right, I just call myself inthe beginning stage of breaking
my addiction, because I'm onlyabout three months in, right,
(11:36):
okay.
And then you you had exposed tome earlier that the lord's
still working on me, okay, yeah,so I'm down about 23 pounds,
okay, finally, like feeling likemyself again, my energy's
coming back, my mental clarity,like the work is working, like
eating real food.
I ain't gonna lie, like I didthe cheat code, like I got a
chef helping me, because Irealized the process of me
(11:58):
trying to prepare these mealswas becoming a little bit too
overwhelming and I'm in adelegation season, so I'm like,
let me get some help by somebodywho can count the macros and do
all the stuff.
But breaking sugar, I didn'trealize it was idle because we
just consume it so casually.
What is it about sugar?
I mean I'm not going to saylike it will be illegal,
(12:18):
probably at this point if it wasto be released, like, why is it
about sugar?
I mean, I know they say like itwill be illegal, probably at
this point.
Yeah, if it was to be released,like, why is it so hard to
break that?
And why does food become anidol?
Because it's all about thisflesh.
See, it's a spiritual thing, itis spiritual.
It's spiritual, yeah right.
If, like I believe, how you doanything is how you do
everything, yeah right.
And so if I tell people, onceyou get well, you break
addiction, you'll start tonotice like things getting so
(12:41):
much better in other areas ofyour life.
You know he used to say thisquote, many of these quotes, but
he used to say you cannotcompartmentalize greatness.
But guess what?
You can't compartmentalizemediocrity either.
And so this thing, this whole,I promise you, is showing up in
other areas of your life.
But it's about denying thisflesh, and people do not want to
, especially for those of us whoare.
(13:02):
You know, we've gone to school,we have a degree, we're
accomplished, we're doing thesegreat things.
You're like no, I deserve, it'sa deserve to have this.
If I work hard, I did this, Ideserve.
What we deserve is death.
Okay, that's what we deserve.
That's gluttony, yeah, it is,you know, you understand, like,
and so it says don't, don'tallow your belly to be your god.
(13:25):
And that's what we're doing.
We're allowing our belly to beour god, right, and even though
we know that when we eat god'sfood, we feel so much better, oh
, my god, the energy, energy,sleep well, you get off
medication, you release weight,yeah, but yet we keep going back
to this vomit.
Hmm, it's a trick of the enemy,yeah, right, and so it's about
denying the flesh.
So the sugar, though it's, um,they say it's more addictive
(13:47):
than cocaine.
Yeah, and it literally is,literally.
I will tell the people don't eatlike sugar of any kind, no,
sweetener of any kind, like no.
And they'll say, well, whatabout a sweet?
No, I'll say no potatoes.
Well, what about a sweet potato?
We gotta get a potato, we gottaget a sweet potato.
But in their mind, it's likethe sugar, be like you, be like
(14:10):
I need a little thing.
It's not ridiculous, but askher anyway, just ask her.
It's the sugar addiction.
Yeah, don't look at the personon the street that's, uh, strung
out on.
No, no, like you're that person.
You, you see, like it's asocially accepted addiction.
Nobody, we celebrate with sugar, so nobody sees that.
(14:33):
But we look down on the personon the street, on the corner,
that's strung out and crack.
Yeah, we strung out from crackbecause we'll get it at any cost
.
At any cost, whatever it,nobody doesn't care.
They say give it to me, harvey,I'll let you pick it, whether
you want to give me white sugar,you want to give me stevia, you
want to give me monk fruit, youwant to give me honey, you want
to give me brown sugar, youwant to like dates, like
whatever?
Oh, no, give me a lot of fruit,I'll take that too.
(14:54):
Because we want a smoothie.
Oh, because we want a smoothie,because we want a smoothie,
yeah, and it's all fruit.
Yeah, okay, I think we're doingsomething fresh from the gym
and go get a smoothie, the place.
Now you can give it to me.
Guess what?
You're still an addict.
So what?
What would you say?
Is that first step?
For someone hearing this for thefirst time and they're like
having to come to therealization of, oh my god, am I
(15:16):
at, like I promise y'all readthat book?
On it was a 40-day sugar fast.
And the lady said, when you'rehappy, yeah, do you desire a
treat?
I was like, yeah, I'm reading abook.
I think this is a good book,right?
Yeah, I need like a treat.
Yeah.
And she said, when you said, doyou feel like you need some ice
cream?
I said, oh, my gosh, you knowmy business.
And she said, okay, that meansthat sugar is the idol.
(15:38):
I said I got the closest book.
I'm just trying to mind mybusiness and it is comfort
myself.
And so what is it about thesecomfort foods that aren't very
comforting?
Church of the enemy, jesse, I'mtelling you, man, this thing is
spiritual warfare.
They better people better wakeup.
Yeah, you better wake up.
Okay, it better wake up.
(15:59):
John 10, 10 says he comes tosteal, kill and destroy, and for
us it's food.
This is the revelation.
That day they say you know what, especially us, that you know?
Believers said, no, these goodchristian folk, they don't lie,
cheat, steal, they pay the taxes.
Okay, they don't ain't doing.
No, no, blue collar, whitecollar.
They don't.
Uh-uh, we don't have to lift afinger, okay, because they will
kill themselves with the food.
(16:20):
They let them not do it.
They will kill themselves.
Just let them keep living.
And that's what we're doing.
That's literally what we'redoing.
That is literally what we aredoing.
The amount of sugar that we'reconsuming every day is just sign
bombing the amount of sodium,you understand?
Because people don't evenreally talk about sodium that
(16:40):
much, right?
Yeah, so it says the averageAmerican should consume that.
This is the average Americanwho's healthy, should consume no
more than 2,300 milligrams ofsodium a day.
But do you know how much thatis?
Do you really know how muchsodium?
That is Hell.
That's only one teaspoon ofsodium.
I'm sorry, you said teaspoonHealth.
That's only one teaspoon or so.
I'm sorry.
You said teaspoon Teaspoon.
That's only one teaspoon.
You know how small a teaspoonis and that's how much we should
(17:03):
be consuming a day.
Wow, one teaspoon.
You mentioned Chick-fil-A.
No, don't, come on, come on.
Oh my God, chick-fil-a, thatnumber one.
Not the number one With thatchicken, that bread and the
pickle.
That's the number one.
The pickle's a vegetable.
No, no, no, I'm talking aboutthat pickle.
(17:24):
Let me tell you something.
One sandwich is 1,400milligrams of sodium.
You said 1,400?
1,400.
We're going to get 2,300.
That's before you eat onewaffle fry.
You can't get no fries, okay,no, you know, you're going to
get fries, though you don't haveto eliminate because I don't
sugar.
Okay, stay home.
1,400 milligrams, though, Ipromise you.
(17:45):
And people wonder why they can'tget off the blood pressure and
they'll say, well, I don't getthat.
I get the market salad with thegrill and the chicken.
Yeah, you try to be healthy.
You see, these are for lack ofknowledge, right?
And let's talk about thatpitbull.
Let me ask you a question whatare pickles made of the cucumber
(18:06):
?
Okay, what color is a cucumber?
The inside, white, okay.
But what color is that pickle?
Yellow, is it yellow or is itgreen?
Yeah, yeah.
So what makes green?
What two colors make green?
You remember rice, milk.
Yellow and blue makes green.
So if you look at theingredients label, right,
nutrition label for that pickle,it'll say yellow, fine, or blue
, because yellow and blue makesgreen.
(18:28):
That's artificial colors, lateto cancer, late to ADHD, I mean
so many people.
And people got the habit, ohyeah, oh yeah.
I always thought something wasweird, the way people was
addicted.
I don't remember.
(18:48):
It was a couple years ago.
Somebody killed somebody forthat Popeye's.
Somebody would kill somebody.
It's a flavor enhancer and itmakes the makes you like, design
the food right and so you'readdicted to it right.
But but msg affects the brain,yeah, yeah, you see so a lot of
people with chick-fil-a havingheadaches and things like that.
I mean it's just crazy.
It is crazy.
(19:09):
So we are killing ourselves.
So that's what I'm saying.
I had to sit my kids and I saidmommy is killing you.
Yeah, we got to change, right.
I didn't feel like a properstory moment.
I did not that day.
Okay, not that day.
I'll be like I feel he's doingmy home, I'm breaking it down,
yeah, right, so I had to change.
So I said no, we can't domcdonald's, we can't do
chick-fil-a, we can't do papa's,like we can't do these days
anymore.
(19:29):
No more fruit punch, no morekool-aid jammers, no more.
These are things I put in myson's lunch.
No more honey buns and duck andsticks and pecan tores Like
this is all the trash Doritos,but this is what we're feeding
our babies, takis, and we'rejust killing them.
It's crazy Once you startbecoming a label person and
that's what I had to do with mydaughter.
I didn't realize like all ofthis stuff, like not even just
(20:01):
because I always say you knowthose first ones, the first
couple of years, but those arelike terrible.
You're like terrible, yeah,yeah, I mean it's bad, it's
really bad, yeah.
So for the person that'shearing this for the first time
and I feel like their heart islike you know, I mean, and they
might actually be crying at thispoint, realizing what they've
done for themselves, what doesdone to their children, possibly
even their grandchildren, yeah,where do they start?
Because I think it has to startwith the mindset first.
Right, like they know theinstruction, they gotta eat
god's food.
(20:21):
But how do they like shit?
Because you're really goingagainst society, yeah, going
against the grain, going againstwhat big mom said, you know, I
mean, we get ready, going toholiday season, like this is
everybody's like hardest time,yeah, you know, and some people
are excited about the new year.
We'll kind of get into that too.
But like, where's that firstmind shift to say like, maybe
(20:45):
even admitting like that you'rean addict?
Yeah, you know what I mean?
This is good.
So, first of all, I want toencourage the people, yeah, I
want to encourage them to know,like this is what I tell my you
did it, you can undo it.
You understand, like, when youunderstand that God's food heals
the body, yeah, like, soHippocrates said let food be thy
medicine, medicine be thy food.
Right Food is the foundation tooptimal health.
(21:07):
So, whatever it is you gotgoing on.
I want to encourage them.
Whatever it is whether it'stype 2 diabetes, high blood
pressure, high cholesterol,obesity, you know, thyroid
issues, low libido, becausepeople are dealing with that low
energy whenever they're sleepapnea Whatever it is you got
going on, we can reverse it withGod's freedom.
Like I've literally helpedthousands upon thousands of
people you know people have had.
(21:27):
I've stopped people fromgetting hip replacement
surgeries, knee replacementsurgeries, like with God's food,
things that they they told myhusband you're going to be on
medication for the rest of yourlife and we got him off in eight
days with God's food.
Eight days is crazy.
Eight days.
I've got people off medicationin one day, two days, wow, with
God's food, right.
So I want to encourage themfirst of all to say you know
what, it doesn't matter whereyou are, just know that you can
(21:50):
change, we can reverse it.
But so to change about this,about you make a work.
So yeah, we gotta do some work.
Right, say, faith without worksis dead.
So we gotta change.
And so you know, we can juststart with some simple things
like just I tell, can you eat asalad in that?
Yeah, can we just start with asalad?
Right, can we, instead ofhaving the fries?
You know, if you're gonna dothe burger instead of doing the
(22:10):
fries, I may add a salad or somebroccoli too, like stuff to do.
I just start doing it.
That you know.
I'm not a wiener, though I'mgonna let it.
Yeah, I cut it, yeah, okay.
But I understand we're goinginto the holidays and people be
like, for sure, I'm not payingno attention to you, you don't
know, I'm not, I'm not gonna doit.
So we can just start makingsome modifications.
Right, here's some things.
We're going into the holidays.
How about?
Here's the order in which youcan eat your okay?
(22:31):
Okay, tell us, tell us, breakit down.
Okay, here's the order in whichyou can eat your food, and this
is just to mitigate spiking ofthe blood sugar.
Okay, gonna have turkey.
We'll have cornbread dressing.
We will have mac and cheese.
We will have collard greens.
We're gonna have candy yams,we're gonna have dessert, okay,
these things for people about toeat, right?
Yeah, I said the first thingyou want to do let's pad that
stomach with some vegetables,okay.
(22:53):
So you start with the collardgreens.
Okay, and some protein?
Yeah, right, let's pad it withsome vegetables, okay.
Then you can start bringing on,okay, the mac and cheese, but
let's mitigate the spiking ofthat blood sugar, so let's pat
it with some vegetables, right.
Then you do on the mac andcheese.
There really no healthy fatsduring thanksgiving, and then
the last thing you want to do isthat dessert.
But this is what I tell mypeople after you eat go for a
(23:15):
walk, yeah, yeah, get that move.
Yeah, don't don't eat and geton the couch.
I don't do that.
No, don't do that.
It just be so tempting the wayit hits you.
I know, I know, I know thattrip to fame.
Okay, it's real.
Go for a walk, yeah, go for awalk.
And then you know you have todrink your calories.
I know we want the sweet teaand all that, but I'm just
giving you some hacks Drinkwater.
That's been a game changer forme, though.
(23:39):
To go for the dessert, like I,rather you have to deserve than
the sweet tea.
But you can't have both.
You know you gotta choose one.
And I'm talking to the one, tothe person or the people who
know they have issues.
I have a person who's like youknow what, bro, I'm good all
year, this is my one time.
Okay, go for it.
But for the person that know heor she has issues, these are
some things you can do.
Do your vegetables first, yourvegetables, your protein.
(24:00):
Then you start adding on thecar to your mac and cheese, your
candy, yams or whatever yourcornbread dressing.
Last thing you can eat is thatsweet potato pie, apple pie,
whatever.
And then go for a walk and thenhave water instead of the sweet
tea or the juice or whatever itis that you choose to have.
And what a beautiful thing to dowith your family, like we like
to do the evening walks.
You know what I mean?
That's kind of nice, so y'allcan walk and talk.
(24:20):
Y'all can go back home laterand play cards and do all that
Absolutely.
But just get out here, get thatfresh air.
I think that's a good thing.
You're going to feel better too.
Absolutely, you're going tofeel better.
You're really going to feelbetter.
So that's just some things youcan do because you're not going
(24:44):
to cut it.
You really knocking on our door.
I'm super excited.
This year I'm actually going tobe doing a planning event I want
to call boys and women plan forthe new year.
So so give us some tips,because I know some of the goals
that women are going to be sentand are going to be health
related, some fitness related,hopefully mental health related.
I've been trying to encouragepeople to do some mental health
goals.
Yeah, because if you don'tprepare for your mental health
(25:05):
like, it can take you out.
So tell us some of the goalsthat you feel like are realistic
, because I think sometimespeople can set themselves up to
fail and that's why it'd be twoweeks in and then people then
forgot all about the plans theymade.
So if you can give them anytype of strategy so that they
can actually stick with them,yeah, you know I'm saying this
year it's good.
(25:26):
So I have this thing called uh,bmw.
Okay, bare minimum.
Workout, okay, bare minimum.
Yeah, we gotta start there.
You start with it like createyour bmw.
So first of all, let's talkabout whatever level of
frequency you want it to be twodays a week, three days a week.
I'm thinking minimum two days aweek, but preferably three days
a week for whatever so andwhatever it is you feel like you
(25:49):
can do.
However many days a week thatis so that can be.
You know what, three days aweek, I'm gonna at least walk 30
minutes.
I'm gonna do 10 jumping jacksand I'm 30 second plank.
Whatever it is like you createit, but whatever it is, it's
something that you feel like youcan do.
So I don't want to create it,because what I create may be too
much for you.
So it's something.
(26:09):
So you have to ask yourselfwhat is it that I can do For
some people?
You know what, coach?
I think I can walk 30 minutes aday.
Okay, that's your BMW.
Yeah, because here's the gamechanger that people really don't
know.
People.
People really don't know people.
Look at these guns.
Right, I'm like we gotta get tothe arm.
People are afraid because theythink you're going at me doing
all this crazy stuff.
(26:30):
Every single person I've coached, the only thing I've ever asked
them to do is walk.
Wow, like all of these amazingtestimonies, that's it.
I just need you to walk becauseit's not about the exercise,
it's about this food.
Yeah, yeah, and people havelost hundreds of pounds just by
walking because you want me totell you, yeah.
So here's the thing.
People think they lose weightby, uh, caloric deficit.
(26:51):
No, I teach people, you'regonna lose weight by sugar
deficit.
Okay, okay, sugar deficit, okay, because what we do is we have
these sugar pockets.
Let me take some.
You didn't, you didn't talk mesomething.
Oh, I thought it was my caloricdeficit.
The reason I'm looking rightnow no calories it's because
I've cut the sugar.
Yeah, that's right.
Wow, that's right.
Yeah, I don't count.
No calories, no macros, macros,I'm not even none of that.
(27:11):
Okay, because we need god'sfood.
You don't have to.
Yeah, okay, when you eatanything you eat, right, it's
going to break down the glucose,right, sugar, right, it's in
your bloodstream and so thepancreas, you know, secretes the
insulin.
The insulin goes and grafts the,the glucose right and kicks it
into the cells and itmetabolizes this energy right,
because the body uses that asenergy.
So if you're not putting sugarin your body, so like you're
(27:34):
eating vegetables and that'sminimal sugar, right, so body is
going to look and say, okay,there's no sugar in this
bloodstream, but we need sugarto move, so, so where does it go
?
We go in these sugar pockets.
Oh, here's some here, here'ssome here, here's some here.
Right, it starts to burn thesesugar pockets, it starts to
release this weight.
So that's how my people arelosing.
They're like how am I losing 20pounds in less than 30 days
(27:56):
Because we're in these sugarpockets?
Okay, we've got to give hispocket.
Yeah, it's not calories.
Wow, I promise you sugar ain'tsweet.
Um, it's my name.
Yeah, damn shit ain't sweet.
Yeah, it's not, it's, it's thesugar.
We lose weight by sugar deficit.
I'm telling you people just cancut this sugar.
(28:16):
We're gonna release it andnever find it again.
That's not no.
So I say release it now.
Yeah, you lose it, we find it.
We gonna find it in the cornerand there's a release the way
and be done with it.
Just be done.
Because when you have thiseducation and you know, like you
know what this is, when I'mfeeling this low energy or I'm
taking this medication, if I canget rid of this thing just by
changing what I eat and neverhave to deal with it again, it's
(28:37):
worth it.
It's worth it.
I can have my white butt, whiteblood, my energy.
I mean, people are doing thingsthey thought they would never
do.
Yeah, bro, I thought I wouldnever run again.
I thought I would, and nowthey're running.
Yeah, I thought I was going tobe in this medication for the
rest of my life.
So I have this Q&A call with myprogram.
We have a call every day,monday through Friday, and I get
(28:57):
on.
Sometimes I have coaches thatrun it, but I get on a few days
a week just to hear the people.
This one lady said she saidthis was her testimony.
She said this is for the firsttime ever I could travel and not
have to take medication.
Wow, like I didn't have to packit.
I didn't have to go to thepharmacy to fill my prescription
before I travel, making thetravel plans around their
(29:18):
pharmacy visits Wow, so it'slike a new life for people.
It is a new life, yeah, to nothave to worry about medication
again and it's all just fromchanging what you put in your
body right and not being perfectbecause I'm not perfect.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I know people think I'm notvegan.
Yeah, I'm not vegetarian, right, plant-based.
I'm not, right, I don't do pork, okay, right, you know I try to
(29:41):
stay away from artificialcolors and things like that, but
I like a burger and fries, too,or a milkshake, I like pizza, I
like cookies, I like ice cream.
It's about getting this healthbank account in the black first,
though.
That's what I tell my people.
If you're in the red, you don'tneed those things.
What you need is to eat more ofGod's food Once you get in the
black, and then you pad theaccount.
(30:07):
You got to pad the account first.
You gotta make.
You know, because that's thething I think of it.
Think of it as like yourfinancial bank account, like you
may be in the black, but if youonly got two dollars to make,
you can't write a hundred dollarcheck.
That's true, right?
So as soon as the person getwell, they want to go celebrate
with something that makes it.
Yeah, I'm like no, let's padthe account, right, because
you're trying to write checksthat your body cannot cash.
Let's pad the account first,right.
Then, if you want to make thiswithdrawal every now and then,
(30:29):
you can do that, and it's okay.
That's living, that's life.
That's why I don't do diets.
I don't.
I don't do any of it.
I don't call it anything.
He was like what do you do andyou look amazing?
Oh, praise god, thank you.
Yeah, they're so inspiring.
Thank you at 54, 54, 54 andfine, come on inspiring the
world.
Yeah, this has been sobeautiful.
(30:50):
So one of our favorite segmentsis called the healing moment.
Yeah, and this is an actionitem for that woman that's
watching this.
It could give them just onething that they could maybe do
this week okay, that they canput into place.
Put that coffee down.
Oh, jesus, that's my one thing.
Okay, because everybody gotthat one vice the coffee you
(31:13):
just be like, and then you knowI'm that person I'd be like it's
really just a half a cup,because what you gonna put in
the tea, I don't like to putanything into.
Okay, I'm one of them peoplewhere hibiscus tea is that fine?
Okay, is it sweet to youslightly.
Okay, it don't have it, it's myhabit.
If it's sweet to you, it'sfloral, okay, is it sweet to you
?
I guess the definition would beyes, okay, then that's what you
(31:37):
look, do you understand?
You see, the mind yeah, themind was your mind is like it's
a little.
You see, I'm saying you'reright, that's an addiction.
You're right, that's anaddiction.
So when you say, well, coachRoy, I only did one cup a day, I
said then you're a one cup aday addict.
That's it why we got the.
You're right, that's what it isand it's hard for people to
accept.
(31:57):
It's true.
Cut it, coach Roy, coach Raya,it's nothing that I have every
day.
Yeah, water, I have no hold.
It's no hold on me.
None, you can't get me with nocookies, no cake, no coffee.
That thing got a hold on people.
It does.
Okay, like a refreshing littlemorning.
You know what I do everymorning Warm lemon water.
It's so refreshing.
(32:18):
You right, you have to do it.
I'm cleansing my my organs.
Have it.
Keep everything flowing andgoing.
That's all we need and I feelgreat doing that.
And I go out there and run myfive, six, seven, eight miles
without anything.
I feel great, I have nothing.
It feels good.
Freedom, yes, freedom.
That is freedom.
That's why it feels good toknow that nothing has a hold on
me.
You can't dangle as come on,you can't dangle a carrot in
(32:40):
front of my face.
You go carrot in front of mykitchen.
You can't get me with that andthat's.
People are getting got Food,beverage, whatever Sugar,
however they want to hide it,they want to do it in pasta and
bread and whatever Donuts,pastries, coffee, tea.
What Potato, sweet potato, I'mgoing to go.
Sweet potato, is it ticklingand fancy?
(33:02):
And I'm not saying sweet potatois bad because they'll be like.
Well, Coach wrote fruit and yousaid fruit is God's food.
But you didn't have fruit twoweeks ago and I'm telling you,
you can't have fruit, it becomesyour candy.
You're right, you see.
So I'm not trying to like, I'mnot.
Come on, y'all Wake up.
I thought I was woke.
(33:29):
I only got one eye open.
Listen, this, this has beenamazing.
This has been amazing.
I guess I might.
That's, that's been the onelast thing I've been holding on
to is the coffee.
So you know, but if you juststop it, if you would stop it,
no, you see, if you would stopit right and break the addiction
, go through, because somepeople may go through a little
withdrawal.
It is a withdrawal process.
You see, yes, this is how aperson can know if they're an
(33:50):
addict.
If they stop whatever it isthey do daily and their body
reacts to it, then you know itwas an addiction.
Wow, it was a drug.
Yeah, if you get a headache, youget irritable.
(34:12):
I get like because I've beentrying to get off coffee a
couple times.
Okay, you have headaches arethe worst.
Okay, then come on.
Now you'll be like well, let mejust go back back.
Yeah, so I want them.
Lord, have mercy.
Lord, jesus, help us.
Okay, listen to this.
You're telling me by stoppingsomething.
Yeah, your body has an adversereaction to it because you're
not putting a substance in yourbody.
That's what's happening.
Can that be good for you?
Yeah, that can't be good.
That is a true sign of anaddiction.
(34:34):
Your body is saying where's mystuff, the stuff you usually
give me?
Every day I'm looking for itand if I don't give it to you,
i'm'm going.
I'm about to have a fit up inhere.
Yeah, that's an addiction.
Now that right there is singing.
Now, I got to hold youaccountable to that.
We're going to have to stop it.
We're going to have to stop it.
Yeah, you're going to be free.
Yeah, it's freedom.
(34:55):
It is for you, nothing and I dolike a little bit of water in
the morning.
Go back to it.
Leave that sugar on.
You're going to get a littleheadache.
It's only temporary, it istemporary.
It's temporary.
Once you break through, you'rethrough, and once you're done,
every so often you want to havea cup whatever.
Every so often, some people belike you know what?
(35:15):
Just one day a week, I have mything.
You can't get addicted one daya week.
That everyday thing though, oh,that's an addict.
That's an addict.
I don't care how you slice it,that's an addict.
Tea, you put in something.
That's an addict.
Bread every day that's anaddict.
Potatoes every day that's anaddict.
(35:36):
The body doesn't know thedifference, I told you, between
the honey and the honey bun.
It doesn't know the difference.
It processes differently, butit doesn't know the difference.
It still lighten up the brain,still get that dopamine hit,
just like cocaine.
So the only way to stop it isto stop it.
Oh jesus, I know this was gonnabe therapeutic.
I mean I know it's gonna feellike a workout, like I know it's
(35:57):
gonna be like I got punched inthe face, but I know I'm gonna
be bleeding out on the whitecouch floor.
But this is the wake-up callthat I need.
It's the wake-up call.
You watching this need like weall need the wake-up so that we
can be the person that we weredestined to be, because all this
stuff, all these vices, allthese additives, like that is
(36:18):
really like not allowing us totruly be the person that god
designed us to be.
And if you really want to beour best selves we really want
to be our best selves.
We really want to be our mostauthentic selves we got to
actually figure out what weactually enjoy.
That's on the list of God'sfruits, not what we've settled
to have out of convenience orout of laziness or out of
addiction.
Yeah, that is true, true story.
(36:39):
When I, when I started mybusiness in 2012, right, so, the
name of my company is Rock yourPark, that's my I said I need a
scripture.
You know that goes with mybusiness.
I need a scripture.
I went to the Bible and Iflipped it open.
I just like opened it up and myeyes went straight to 3 John, 1
and 2.
And the translation that I likeit says Dear friends, I pray
(37:00):
that all is well with you andthat you are as healthy in body
as you are strong in spirit.
And I said that part.
I said because we sold out forChrist.
Now, okay, but this healthy andbody we're lacking, yeah, right
, and we cannot serve the waygod would have us to serve if
we're not healthy and body.
We cannot.
I don't care how fire a personthink they are, how much they
(37:23):
think they're quote unquotekilling it.
Or I promise you you're thespirit of speech money on the
table because you're not well.
Right, there's more to do, butwe can't do it because we're
sick or we're not as well as wecould be and I want people to be
whatever God would have them tobe.
Yeah, right, and he's told uswhat to eat.
(37:45):
This is so good.
Tell them about the masterclassthat you have, because I know
they're probably thinking likeman, what's next?
Because I know you didn't gotpeople fired up.
I know my husband over there inthe corner, like man, what's
she going to do tomorrow?
What's she going to do whenthat coffee?
I ain't going to do it.
I'm going to really stick to it.
You know what I'm saying.
My daughter deserves for me tobe around.
That's deserve to geteverything that God designed me
(38:08):
to have.
So that's like I'm done.
Yeah, so I have a in a programcalled a shooting sweet Academy.
Right, it's a six week programand that's it showing people how
to reverse chronic illness with, with God's food.
And so how you get into theprogram is you first attend my
masterclass.
I do a free masterclass sevendays a week, every day, 8 PM,
eastern standard time.
(38:28):
Get on there about two and ahalf hours and listen to me.
Teach, okay, because, again, Ibelieve we have to be educated.
So that's why I call it.
It's an academy Sherbet SweetAcademy is what it's called,
because you're actually inschool.
You're learning.
Yeah, that program has justhelped thousands and thousands
of people.
It's simple.
See, this is what I know aboutGod.
God is simple, he is.
I mean the things he tellsthere's nothing hard about.
(38:50):
People say, well, what are thepeople doing?
These are three things peopleare doing Eating God's food,
moving their bodies and drinkingwater.
Isn't that simple, that's it.
There are no pills, powders,potions.
I don't count.
There ain't no counting nothing.
You don't get no scale,calories, macros, none of that.
That's all we're doing, that'sall I teach them to do.
But in that, uh, in the academy, though, you're learning how to
(39:12):
shop, you learn how to relabels, you learn the dangers of these
artificial colors andsweeteners and you know msg.
You're learning, like, thetoxins that are in the food.
You're learning the benefits ofdrinking water.
Moving your body, you learn,you learn how the body works.
I have this thing called thecell theory, right, have you
heard me talk about the cell.
Yeah, okay, ok.
So real quick I'll make thisquick biology.
Yes, ok.
So I say, if you break us downto our most basic unit, right,
(39:34):
like if you break a person nowall the way down to the bottom,
we're made of cells.
Right now, this is the processit goes Cells make up tissues,
tissues make up organs, organsmake up organ systems and organ
systems make up the organismwhich is the person In our
bodies right now.
We have trillions of cells,trillions, okay, those cells.
(39:56):
So here's something I read inthe book.
It says it takes 19 vitaminsand minerals with non-amino
acids, with the perfect protein,and make a perfect cell.
And if you're missing onenutrient, you make an imperfect
cells for seven days.
Right, those imperfect cellsmanifest into disease.
So it's one root cause ofdisease and that's
malfunctioning of cells.
But here's a question I haveWell, where do those nutrients?
(40:17):
Where do we get the nutrients?
From Food, right?
So food is the foundation.
If you're eating God's food,it's going to make healthy cells
, which will make healthytissues, which will make healthy
organs, which will make healthyorgan systems.
So so you say what do you mean?
Organ systems, reproductivesystem, cardiovascular system,
central nervous system, rightIntegumentary system, lymphatic
(40:39):
system, like there's 14 systemsright.
If you have healthy organsystems, you can be a healthy
person.
But the converse is also true.
If you eat unhealthy food ieChick-fil-era bread, you know
wendy's, mcdonald's right you'regonna have unhealthy cells,
unhealthy tissues, right organs,organ systems, gonna be an
unhealthy person.
But here's the beauty when Isay if you did it, you can undo
(40:59):
it.
It doesn't matter where you are, because we have those
trillions of cells right in ourbodies.
Your body is replacing 3.8million new cells every second
of your life.
Wow, every second of your life.
3.
That's how my husband got onmedication.
In eight days we started givinghim healthy food, right, and we
started replacing those 3.8million new cells every second
(41:21):
with God's food.
Wow, and it just refers.
So if you did it, you can undoit.
That's why education is soimportant, that's why education
is the floor, education, you see.
So when you know all of this,that's why you're like, well,
how could I go back now?
But if you don't know, if youdon't know, then you think I'm
doomed.
You think it's, oh, it runs inmy family.
(41:41):
Yep, y'all, it's nothingrunning in your family.
Yeah, please, nothing.
I don't care how many peoplehad it.
Look at how they ate, right,they probably all ate the same
too.
Diabetes doesn't run in yourfamily.
High blood pressure, obesity,high cholesterol Nothing runs in
your family.
And even for those that say,okay, cancer, okay, there's
about a 10% geneticpredisposition to cancer 10%.
(42:04):
Who's in control of the other90%?
And it starts with what you putin your mouth.
So I'm just trying to kill allthe myths.
Yeah, absolutely Okay, take, wegot to take ownership.
Yeah, however you feel, you didit.
But the encouragement is that ifyou did it, you can undo it.
So this is not me like punchingyour gut.
Well, I do, I'm sorry you may.
You may have a little punch ortwo, but it's empowering.
(42:28):
It is empowering.
It doesn't matter.
If you did it, you can undo itonce you have this information.
So now you must considereverything you put in your mouth
.
Is it building me up orbreaking me down?
Because it ain't no in-betweenEverything.
Is this building me up orbreaking me down?
That's what you have to askyourself.
Everything you put in yourmouth, when you think of them
(42:50):
3.8 million sales every secondof your life Is that not a game
changer?
Listen, I will never eat thesame again.
We was going to order lunchafter this.
I know my team is like y'all,are we still getting chips?
What are we doing here?
This has been life changing, andwhen I think about this
(43:10):
information, changinggenerations with the right
information, like the structurethat you've created, like this
is phenomenal.
You've changed my life, like inthis brief conversation, like
my life has been completelychanged and I'm grateful for the
way in which God is using youto change our whole generation.
Praise God, you to change ourwhole generation, right, scott?
(43:33):
Like when I think about theamount of people coming off of
medication, and like changingthe trajectory of their family,
like and this even goes so deepas like people not even being
able to get in the finances youknow what I'm saying like you
know what I mean.
Like people in that that cycleof poverty, they're like
wondering why this all happened,I realized, and that if they
were feeding their minds withthe right food, like, they will
be able to even think faster andcreate inventions and do all
(43:57):
this stuff.
Let me tell you something,though.
That's real.
I don't know if you've heard ofthe gut brain connection, right
?
So it's no coincidence.
That would like you could eatsomething, right, and have you
feeling a certain way mentally,yeah, okay, yeah, well, the
converse is also true.
You can have something going onwith you mentally and it can
affect your digestive system,right, something like you could
(44:18):
be nervous.
All of a sudden, you don't havean amity, you feel nauseous,
whatever.
It's a connection.
So this, what you put in yourbody, affects your mental state,
right, and so people you thinkabout people, uh, with any type
of you know mental health issue,or even children, dealing with
things like adhd and things likethat.
Food is it makes a difference.
(44:39):
You know, even kids that aredyslexic and things like that.
It makes a difference, not eventhe food, but, uh, household
products you use.
Okay, all those things, okay,don't look at, don't give me
talking about clorox and allthis and febreze and all that.
Oh, that's bad.
What you put on your skin, ohthat's bad.
60 percent what you put on yourskin goes directly to your
bloodstream.
So I know the ladies, they'reall bad, their body works and
(45:00):
all that is.
I'm killing clothes on.
All that's killing you, killingyourselves, right?
So it's so much deeper thanwhat people know.
You know, know, I just talkabout food, but I can go into a
whole lot of stuff, you know,because it's just a lot, but
that's why we're sick, you know,that's why we're sick.
You know, like cancer ratesthrough the roof.
You know, just, obesity isthrough the roof.
(45:23):
I mean everything.
Like we have to learn this thingbecause we can't depend on the
government.
I mean they're not, they're notfor us.
Have to learn this thingbecause we can't depend on the
government.
I mean they're not, they're notfor us.
You know, we have to know forourselves.
Can't depend on them.
Fda is not.
You're not looking out for you.
They, they authorize this stuff.
They they authorize, uh, splitthat to be on the shelf, even
though that's an artificialsweeper that's killing people.
We have to know.
(45:44):
Yeah, well, I appreciate youhelping us get our power back

To be well takes discipline.
To be well, you gotta deny theflesh.
Nobody sets out to say I'mgoing to kill myself.
They don't realize that theyfeel the way they feel because
of what they put in their body.
It's just lack of knowledge.
And the word says we perish forlack of knowledge.
Three principles to achieveoptimal health.
Number one eat God's food Meat,fish, fruits, vegetables, nuts,
seeds, grains, legumes that'sGod's food Principle.
(00:28):
Number two eat it as close tohis original state as possible.
Eating it raw is going to bethe most health benefit.
So don't allow your belly to beyour God.
All of this stuff, all thesevices, all these additives, like
that is really like notallowing us to truly be the
person that God designed us tobe.
(00:52):
Welcome to the Finally Healedpodcast, where we prioritize

Parks, in the building.
Welcome, welcome, welcome.
I'm excited to be here.
I am so excited for thisepisode.
We're going to be talking abouteating to heal and I really
want to break down your journeyof when you decided to become a
priority for your own health.
(01:39):
Okay, so we gotta go way back.
Just we gotta go back.
So let's tell the people alittle bit about because you've
been married over 30 years.
Yes, you've got three beautifulchildren.
You have created thisphenomenon where people might
not have been so passionateabout health.
Health is one of those thingswhere we know it's important,
(02:00):
but it's like we'll get to itone day.
But you have helped over 10,000people.
That's a massive number.
Helped with chronic disease,like get their life back.
You're literally influencingsome of the most powerful people
Dr Eric Thomas, number onemotivational speaker in the
world yes.
When you think of change chart.
(02:21):
Dr Darius Daniels, like TiffanyMontgomery, like.
These are huge names that youare making sure are healthy,
that they can actually performto the best of their ability yes
, Based on your advice, as aprofessional like you have been
able to do so much.
And for the woman that isinspiring now, hundreds of
(02:42):
thousands of people on socialmedia videos going viral when we
think about that woman yeah,how she started, how she decided
.
You know I might have a lotgoing on.
I'm a wife, I'm a mother, I'min the military.
I've got all this going on, butI have to be a priority.
Like, what did that day looklike?
Well, I would tell you that.
(03:03):
So my journey.
First of all, I've always hadan interest in science and
health.
Like I was going to be thephysician, I was going to go to
medical school.
Like everybody knows me too, Iwas going to be an athletic
trainer okay, okay, I was.
I was going to be apediatrician okay, I love.
So that was it.
So I went to high school for thehealth professions yep, in
houston, texas.
So I was in the sports medicineprogram.
So I used to cheer and then Iwould fix the athlete oh, wow.
(03:25):
So that that's been me all mylife science and health.
Everybody knew it, we know Ididn't go to medical school.
I did take the MCATs Okay, okay, okay, I did.
But by that time I knew that'snot what I wanted.
But my interest in health neverleft and so I just became the
go-to person behind the scenesin the military, at my church.
You know I was over the healthministry, like, always loved it.
But before it was just physicalfitness stuff.
(03:50):
Yeah, it wasn't reallynutrition.
Okay, there is a difference.
There is a difference, right,so you can be fit and still not
well, you see.
So when I think of wellness,that's mind, body and spirit,
right, so nutrition didn'treally happen.
My eyes I like to say Godremoved the scales off my eyes.
It was in 2009 when I waspregnant with my third child at
the time, and it was actually afriend of mine who came by our
(04:11):
house and she gave me a book.
It was called Eat this and Liveby Dr Dawn Colbert.
She said read this book.
It's going to change your.
It changed our lives.
It's going to change your life.
And I read that book and it waslike God removed the scales off
my eyes and I realized I waskilling my family.
Wow, with the food I was givingthem, I literally sat my two
(04:33):
children down at the timebecause I was pregnant with my
third and I said mommy's killingme, literally.
I told them the word.
I just don't want to say that,like to admit that.
To me it was empowering becauseI knew I could change it.
Yeah, like you see, I tell thepeople if you did it, you can
undo it, right, and so I wasgoing down the wrong road.
So we just need to switch Right.
We need to change, because Ididn't know anything, because it
(04:53):
all looked good to me Like Iwas eating trash.
I grew up in Houston, texas.
I ate everything soda, right.
There were no vegetables right.
So I had my friends show mewhat was good, what was bad.
We cleared out my cabinets, mypantry, the refrigerator.
We started over.
That was the beginning and Iknew from that point I was going
to like heal my body right WithGod's food and I just went from
(05:16):
there.
But that was the beginning.
So physical fitness I've beendoing already.
Right, I had already done abodybuilding competition, I had
already trained.
I knew that part.
The nutrition part is somethingdifferent, because there are
people right now who look fitbut still are diabetic, still
have high blood pressure.
So it's not the fitness we needit, but we need food more than
anything.
Like food.
God's food heals the body.
(05:37):
Physical fitness doesn't killthe body.
The food heals the body.
So why do we struggle so muchwith that?
It's food heals the body.
So why do we struggle so muchwith that?
Like it's the hardest thing toget that control up because
people don't mind working out.
It's like listen, I can do alittle brisk walk, I can go to
the gym.
I remember back in the day, andI don't know if they still do
this Remember when PlanetFitness used to have pizza?
Oh, yeah, bagels, uh-huh.
(06:05):
Fitness is not about wellness,see, fitness sometimes, uh, that
can be an idol.
Yeah, fitness is about the lookit's about.
You know, it's not about howyou feel.
Necessarily, fitness is moreabout the look.
Well, he's talking about wellbeing well.
Yeah, right to be well takesdiscipline.
Yeah, somebody say, well to befit, takes this one too.
But it's a different type.
Like that's just total physical.
Like to be well, that's mind,body, spirit, that's a mental
thing.
You gotta do some mentalgymnastics to be well right,
(06:26):
because you got to deny theflesh.
And that's the part Keeping awoman denied of flesh.
You're not denying the flesh togo work out, to be well, you
got to deny the flesh.
And that's where people gethung up.
I remember when I had to admitto myself that I wasn't well, it
took me looking at footage ofmyself.
I had the opportunity to do aTEDx Major stage, right, so
(06:47):
excited to see the footage.
Look at the footage.
I'm like who is that?
She is a major speaker, but whois that?
She looks familiar, but thatcan't be me right.
I went to the doctor.
They were like you'repre-diabetic.
I said I'm sorry what I'm like,but I'm not eat that my sugar
I'll end up.
And then I had to have anhonest conversation with myself.
Like I have to be consumingthat sugar, that's right.
(07:07):
I have to not be a priority,that's right.
And being a caregiver for mydaughter for the last two years,
it became eating forconvenience and not eating to
fuel my body.
So then I had to do a deepanalysis of, like, what am I
putting in my body and why am Inot a priority?
And I'll never forget.
You know, as a new mom, you gotthe little bullet, little baby
(07:30):
bullet.
I'm cooking all the food littlebroccoli, all the stuff but I'm
still going to Chick-fil-A.
So I'm thinking, like you knowthey're saying all the stuff she
got going on, you know,shouldn't have preservatives.
There was a time where you knowshe can't have dairy for him.
She had nothing, yeah, but I'mstill eating the stuff that
they're saying could kill her,make it, make it look just like,
(07:51):
yeah, why are we killingourselves?
Why are we doing all of thediscipline, as as wives you know
, sometimes preparing a reallygood meal for your husband, yeah
, but then you didn't preparefor them, for yourself.
So, like, where does that comefrom?
From women, where we are notthe priority?
Like we can prepare a meal foreverybody else, yeah, but then
(08:12):
we're the ones killing ourselves.
Well, I don't think they, Idon't think women are looking at
it like that.
I just think they haven'tconnected the dots that how they
feel every day has everythingto do with what they put inside
their bodies.
Like nobody, nobody sets out tosay I'm going to kill myself,
yeah, they don't realize thatthey feel the way they feel
because of what they put intheir bodies.
Like nobody's made theconnection.
So I don't think it's about usputting ourselves last, like we
(08:45):
are nurturers and that's kind of, but I think it's more.
It's ignorance, right, yeah,they have not connected the dots
.
People tell me all the timethey're like who know?
I've gone to all these doctors.
Like nobody ever told me to eatgod's food.
Yeah, who knew that somethingas simple as eating god's food
could change all of this I gotgoing on my body?
It's just ignorance.
It's lack of knowledge, and theword says we perish for lack of
knowledge, right.
And so they're told oh, get youa people ask me for a meal plan
(09:05):
, a meal plan, a workout plan.
I said meal plan ain't breakingno generational curses, right,
yeah, that's not, you know, Iknow.
It says we perish for lack ofknowledge, not a lack of a meal
plan.
I said, well, we need iseducation.
Yeah, right, and so I, you know, I want to educate you, teach
you how this body works, becauseonce you learn and you know,
then you can make your own mealplan.
So don't come to me by no mealplan, but I can give you this
(09:27):
knowledge, though, yeah, nobodycan ever take that away and you
can pass that on generation togeneration.
That's true, right, and we canbreak it for real.
So I tell the people like youare the hope, yeah, for the
generational health of yourfamily, you are the hope.
So let's talk about this god'sfood.
Now.
It feels simple, right, yeah,yeah, because it's got to be
real.
Uh-huh, it's what he gave us,that's right.
So why?
Why do we make it so hard?
(09:47):
It's like we, we don't mindeating god's food, but we want
to eat a little bit of satan'sdessert.
You know what I mean?
Well, can't we mix up a littlestuff like so, okay, let's talk
about what god's food is.
Okay, that is okay.
God's food is meat.
Okay, fish, fruits, vegetables,nuts, seeds, grain legumes
right, that's god's food.
I feel like that includes a lotof things, yeah, but that's not
(10:10):
what people eating, likeeverything outside, that's a lab
experiment.
So people are eating labexperiments, right, and so so
you talk about god's food.
So I have these things calledthree principles, right, three
principles to achieve optimalhealth.
Number one eat god's food.
I just said what that was right.
I'm saying again meat, fish,fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds,
grain legumes that's god's food.
That's principle number one eatthe food god called food, yeah.
(10:32):
Principle number two eat it asclose to his original state as
possible.
So, so, not the saute, not theis, but notice that the minute
you change it from its originalstate, it's going to lose
something, right, and so I wouldsay, yes, eating it raw is
going to be the most healthbenefit.
So eat it as close to itsoriginal state as possible.
(10:53):
So, eat the apple versusdrinking the apple juice, right?
I mean, if you're making thevegetables't kill your
vegetables, right, and I tellpeople I know, big mama, you
know I made it that way, butsometimes you gotta consider the
source?
That's true.
You're saying big mama,probably not.
Well, yeah, okay, look at thepeople that you get these
recipes from, okay, how theylive it right, how they feel
right.
How many medications are theyon?
That's true, okay.
And so the the broccolishouldn't be mushy.
(11:15):
The the greens shouldn't bemushy, the you know those things
like you're killing it, likethere's no nutritional value, so
in as close to its originalstate as possible.
And then, principle number threedo not allow any food to become
your guide.
So let's break that down,because when you listen,
addiction is real.
Right, I just call myself inthe beginning stage of breaking
my addiction, because I'm onlyabout three months in, right,
(11:36):
okay.
And then you you had exposed tome earlier that the lord's
still working on me, okay, yeah,so I'm down about 23 pounds,
okay, finally, like feeling likemyself again, my energy's
coming back, my mental clarity,like the work is working, like
eating real food.
I ain't gonna lie, like I didthe cheat code, like I got a
chef helping me, because Irealized the process of me
(11:58):
trying to prepare these mealswas becoming a little bit too
overwhelming and I'm in adelegation season, so I'm like,
let me get some help by somebodywho can count the macros and do
all the stuff.
But breaking sugar, I didn'trealize it was idle because we
just consume it so casually.
What is it about sugar?
I mean I'm not going to saylike it will be illegal,
(12:18):
probably at this point if it wasto be released, like, why is it
about sugar?
I mean, I know they say like itwill be illegal, probably at
this point.
Yeah, if it was to be released,like, why is it so hard to
break that?
And why does food become anidol?
Because it's all about thisflesh.
See, it's a spiritual thing, itis spiritual.
It's spiritual, yeah right.
If, like I believe, how you doanything is how you do
everything, yeah right.
And so if I tell people, onceyou get well, you break
addiction, you'll start tonotice like things getting so
(12:41):
much better in other areas ofyour life.
You know he used to say thisquote, many of these quotes, but
he used to say you cannotcompartmentalize greatness.
But guess what?
You can't compartmentalizemediocrity either.
And so this thing, this whole,I promise you, is showing up in
other areas of your life.
But it's about denying thisflesh, and people do not want to
, especially for those of us whoare.
(13:02):
You know, we've gone to school,we have a degree, we're
accomplished, we're doing thesegreat things.
You're like no, I deserve, it'sa deserve to have this.
If I work hard, I did this, Ideserve.
What we deserve is death.
Okay, that's what we deserve.
That's gluttony, yeah, it is,you know, you understand, like,
and so it says don't, don'tallow your belly to be your god.
(13:25):
And that's what we're doing.
We're allowing our belly to beour god, right, and even though
we know that when we eat god'sfood, we feel so much better, oh
, my god, the energy, energy,sleep well, you get off
medication, you release weight,yeah, but yet we keep going back
to this vomit.
Hmm, it's a trick of the enemy,yeah, right, and so it's about
denying the flesh.
So the sugar, though it's, um,they say it's more addictive
(13:47):
than cocaine.
Yeah, and it literally is,literally.
I will tell the people don't eatlike sugar of any kind, no,
sweetener of any kind, like no.
And they'll say, well, whatabout a sweet?
No, I'll say no potatoes.
Well, what about a sweet potato?
We gotta get a potato, we gottaget a sweet potato.
But in their mind, it's likethe sugar, be like you, be like
(14:10):
I need a little thing.
It's not ridiculous, but askher anyway, just ask her.
It's the sugar addiction.
Yeah, don't look at the personon the street that's, uh, strung
out on.
No, no, like you're that person.
You, you see, like it's asocially accepted addiction.
Nobody, we celebrate with sugar, so nobody sees that.
(14:33):
But we look down on the personon the street, on the corner,
that's strung out and crack.
Yeah, we strung out from crackbecause we'll get it at any cost
.
At any cost, whatever it,nobody doesn't care.
They say give it to me, harvey,I'll let you pick it, whether
you want to give me white sugar,you want to give me stevia, you
want to give me monk fruit, youwant to give me honey, you want
to give me brown sugar, youwant to like dates, like
whatever?
Oh, no, give me a lot of fruit,I'll take that too.
(14:54):
Because we want a smoothie.
Oh, because we want a smoothie,because we want a smoothie,
yeah, and it's all fruit.
Yeah, okay, I think we're doingsomething fresh from the gym
and go get a smoothie, the place.
Now you can give it to me.
Guess what?
You're still an addict.
So what?
What would you say?
Is that first step?
For someone hearing this for thefirst time and they're like
having to come to therealization of, oh my god, am I
(15:16):
at, like I promise y'all readthat book?
On it was a 40-day sugar fast.
And the lady said, when you'rehappy, yeah, do you desire a
treat?
I was like, yeah, I'm reading abook.
I think this is a good book,right?
Yeah, I need like a treat.
Yeah.
And she said, when you said, doyou feel like you need some ice
cream?
I said, oh, my gosh, you knowmy business.
And she said, okay, that meansthat sugar is the idol.
(15:38):
I said I got the closest book.
I'm just trying to mind mybusiness and it is comfort
myself.
And so what is it about thesecomfort foods that aren't very
comforting?
Church of the enemy, jesse, I'mtelling you, man, this thing is
spiritual warfare.
They better people better wakeup.
Yeah, you better wake up.
Okay, it better wake up.
(15:59):
John 10, 10 says he comes tosteal, kill and destroy, and for
us it's food.
This is the revelation.
That day they say you know what, especially us, that you know?
Believers said, no, these goodchristian folk, they don't lie,
cheat, steal, they pay the taxes.
Okay, they don't ain't doing.
No, no, blue collar, whitecollar.
They don't.
Uh-uh, we don't have to lift afinger, okay, because they will
kill themselves with the food.
(16:20):
They let them not do it.
They will kill themselves.
Just let them keep living.
And that's what we're doing.
That's literally what we'redoing.
That is literally what we aredoing.
The amount of sugar that we'reconsuming every day is just sign
bombing the amount of sodium,you understand?
Because people don't evenreally talk about sodium that
(16:40):
much, right?
Yeah, so it says the averageAmerican should consume that.
This is the average Americanwho's healthy, should consume no
more than 2,300 milligrams ofsodium a day.
But do you know how much thatis?
Do you really know how muchsodium?
That is Hell.
That's only one teaspoon ofsodium.
I'm sorry, you said teaspoonHealth.
That's only one teaspoon or so.
I'm sorry.
You said teaspoon Teaspoon.
That's only one teaspoon.
You know how small a teaspoonis and that's how much we should
(17:03):
be consuming a day.
Wow, one teaspoon.
You mentioned Chick-fil-A.
No, don't, come on, come on.
Oh my God, chick-fil-a, thatnumber one.
Not the number one With thatchicken, that bread and the
pickle.
That's the number one.
The pickle's a vegetable.
No, no, no, I'm talking aboutthat pickle.
(17:24):
Let me tell you something.
One sandwich is 1,400milligrams of sodium.
You said 1,400?
1,400.
We're going to get 2,300.
That's before you eat onewaffle fry.
You can't get no fries, okay,no, you know, you're going to
get fries, though you don't haveto eliminate because I don't
sugar.
Okay, stay home.
1,400 milligrams, though, Ipromise you.
(17:45):
And people wonder why they can'tget off the blood pressure and
they'll say, well, I don't getthat.
I get the market salad with thegrill and the chicken.
Yeah, you try to be healthy.
You see, these are for lack ofknowledge, right?
And let's talk about thatpitbull.
Let me ask you a question whatare pickles made of the cucumber
(18:06):
?
Okay, what color is a cucumber?
The inside, white, okay.
But what color is that pickle?
Yellow, is it yellow or is itgreen?
Yeah, yeah.
So what makes green?
What two colors make green?
You remember rice, milk.
Yellow and blue makes green.
So if you look at theingredients label, right,
nutrition label for that pickle,it'll say yellow, fine, or blue
, because yellow and blue makesgreen.
(18:28):
That's artificial colors, lateto cancer, late to ADHD, I mean
so many people.
And people got the habit, ohyeah, oh yeah.
I always thought something wasweird, the way people was
addicted.
I don't remember.
(18:48):
It was a couple years ago.
Somebody killed somebody forthat Popeye's.
Somebody would kill somebody.
It's a flavor enhancer and itmakes the makes you like, design
the food right and so you'readdicted to it right.
But but msg affects the brain,yeah, yeah, you see so a lot of
people with chick-fil-a havingheadaches and things like that.
I mean it's just crazy.
It is crazy.
(19:09):
So we are killing ourselves.
So that's what I'm saying.
I had to sit my kids and I saidmommy is killing you.
Yeah, we got to change, right.
I didn't feel like a properstory moment.
I did not that day.
Okay, not that day.
I'll be like I feel he's doingmy home, I'm breaking it down,
yeah, right, so I had to change.
So I said no, we can't domcdonald's, we can't do
chick-fil-a, we can't do papa's,like we can't do these days
anymore.
(19:29):
No more fruit punch, no morekool-aid jammers, no more.
These are things I put in myson's lunch.
No more honey buns and duck andsticks and pecan tores Like
this is all the trash Doritos,but this is what we're feeding
our babies, takis, and we'rejust killing them.
It's crazy Once you startbecoming a label person and
that's what I had to do with mydaughter.
I didn't realize like all ofthis stuff, like not even just
(20:01):
because I always say you knowthose first ones, the first
couple of years, but those arelike terrible.
You're like terrible, yeah,yeah, I mean it's bad, it's
really bad, yeah.
So for the person that'shearing this for the first time
and I feel like their heart islike you know, I mean, and they
might actually be crying at thispoint, realizing what they've
done for themselves, what doesdone to their children, possibly
even their grandchildren, yeah,where do they start?
Because I think it has to startwith the mindset first.
Right, like they know theinstruction, they gotta eat
god's food.
(20:21):
But how do they like shit?
Because you're really goingagainst society, yeah, going
against the grain, going againstwhat big mom said, you know, I
mean, we get ready, going toholiday season, like this is
everybody's like hardest time,yeah, you know, and some people
are excited about the new year.
We'll kind of get into that too.
But like, where's that firstmind shift to say like, maybe
(20:45):
even admitting like that you'rean addict?
Yeah, you know what I mean?
This is good.
So, first of all, I want toencourage the people, yeah, I
want to encourage them to know,like this is what I tell my you
did it, you can undo it.
You understand, like, when youunderstand that God's food heals
the body, yeah, like, soHippocrates said let food be thy
medicine, medicine be thy food.
Right Food is the foundation tooptimal health.
(21:07):
So, whatever it is you gotgoing on.
I want to encourage them.
Whatever it is whether it'stype 2 diabetes, high blood
pressure, high cholesterol,obesity, you know, thyroid
issues, low libido, becausepeople are dealing with that low
energy whenever they're sleepapnea Whatever it is you got
going on, we can reverse it withGod's freedom.
Like I've literally helpedthousands upon thousands of
people you know people have had.
(21:27):
I've stopped people fromgetting hip replacement
surgeries, knee replacementsurgeries, like with God's food,
things that they they told myhusband you're going to be on
medication for the rest of yourlife and we got him off in eight
days with God's food.
Eight days is crazy.
Eight days.
I've got people off medicationin one day, two days, wow, with
God's food, right.
So I want to encourage themfirst of all to say you know
what, it doesn't matter whereyou are, just know that you can
(21:50):
change, we can reverse it.
But so to change about this,about you make a work.
So yeah, we gotta do some work.
Right, say, faith without worksis dead.
So we gotta change.
And so you know, we can juststart with some simple things
like just I tell, can you eat asalad in that?
Yeah, can we just start with asalad?
Right, can we, instead ofhaving the fries?
You know, if you're gonna dothe burger instead of doing the
(22:10):
fries, I may add a salad or somebroccoli too, like stuff to do.
I just start doing it.
That you know.
I'm not a wiener, though I'mgonna let it.
Yeah, I cut it, yeah, okay.
But I understand we're goinginto the holidays and people be
like, for sure, I'm not payingno attention to you, you don't
know, I'm not, I'm not gonna doit.
So we can just start makingsome modifications.
Right, here's some things.
We're going into the holidays.
How about?
Here's the order in which youcan eat your okay?
(22:31):
Okay, tell us, tell us, breakit down.
Okay, here's the order in whichyou can eat your food, and this
is just to mitigate spiking ofthe blood sugar.
Okay, gonna have turkey.
We'll have cornbread dressing.
We will have mac and cheese.
We will have collard greens.
We're gonna have candy yams,we're gonna have dessert, okay,
these things for people about toeat, right?
Yeah, I said the first thingyou want to do let's pad that
stomach with some vegetables,okay.
(22:53):
So you start with the collardgreens.
Okay, and some protein?
Yeah, right, let's pad it withsome vegetables, okay.
Then you can start bringing on,okay, the mac and cheese, but
let's mitigate the spiking ofthat blood sugar, so let's pat
it with some vegetables, right.
Then you do on the mac andcheese.
There really no healthy fatsduring thanksgiving, and then
the last thing you want to do isthat dessert.
But this is what I tell mypeople after you eat go for a
(23:15):
walk, yeah, yeah, get that move.
Yeah, don't don't eat and geton the couch.
I don't do that.
No, don't do that.
It just be so tempting the wayit hits you.
I know, I know, I know thattrip to fame.
Okay, it's real.
Go for a walk, yeah, go for awalk.
And then you know you have todrink your calories.
I know we want the sweet teaand all that, but I'm just
giving you some hacks Drinkwater.
That's been a game changer forme, though.
(23:39):
To go for the dessert, like I,rather you have to deserve than
the sweet tea.
But you can't have both.
You know you gotta choose one.
And I'm talking to the one, tothe person or the people who
know they have issues.
I have a person who's like youknow what, bro, I'm good all
year, this is my one time.
Okay, go for it.
But for the person that know heor she has issues, these are
some things you can do.
Do your vegetables first, yourvegetables, your protein.
(24:00):
Then you start adding on thecar to your mac and cheese, your
candy, yams or whatever yourcornbread dressing.
Last thing you can eat is thatsweet potato pie, apple pie,
whatever.
And then go for a walk and thenhave water instead of the sweet
tea or the juice or whatever itis that you choose to have.
And what a beautiful thing to dowith your family, like we like
to do the evening walks.
You know what I mean?
That's kind of nice, so y'allcan walk and talk.
(24:20):
Y'all can go back home laterand play cards and do all that
Absolutely.
But just get out here, get thatfresh air.
I think that's a good thing.
You're going to feel better too.
Absolutely, you're going tofeel better.
You're really going to feelbetter.
So that's just some things youcan do because you're not going
(24:44):
to cut it.
You really knocking on our door.
I'm super excited.
This year I'm actually going tobe doing a planning event I want
to call boys and women plan forthe new year.
So so give us some tips,because I know some of the goals
that women are going to be sentand are going to be health
related, some fitness related,hopefully mental health related.
I've been trying to encouragepeople to do some mental health
goals.
Yeah, because if you don'tprepare for your mental health
(25:05):
like, it can take you out.
So tell us some of the goalsthat you feel like are realistic
, because I think sometimespeople can set themselves up to
fail and that's why it'd be twoweeks in and then people then
forgot all about the plans theymade.
So if you can give them anytype of strategy so that they
can actually stick with them,yeah, you know I'm saying this
year it's good.
(25:26):
So I have this thing called uh,bmw.
Okay, bare minimum.
Workout, okay, bare minimum.
Yeah, we gotta start there.
You start with it like createyour bmw.
So first of all, let's talkabout whatever level of
frequency you want it to be twodays a week, three days a week.
I'm thinking minimum two days aweek, but preferably three days
a week for whatever so andwhatever it is you feel like you
(25:49):
can do.
However many days a week thatis so that can be.
You know what, three days aweek, I'm gonna at least walk 30
minutes.
I'm gonna do 10 jumping jacksand I'm 30 second plank.
Whatever it is like you createit, but whatever it is, it's
something that you feel like youcan do.
So I don't want to create it,because what I create may be too
much for you.
So it's something.
(26:09):
So you have to ask yourselfwhat is it that I can do For
some people?
You know what, coach?
I think I can walk 30 minutes aday.
Okay, that's your BMW.
Yeah, because here's the gamechanger that people really don't
know.
People.
People really don't know people.
Look at these guns.
Right, I'm like we gotta get tothe arm.
People are afraid because theythink you're going at me doing
all this crazy stuff.
(26:30):
Every single person I've coached, the only thing I've ever asked
them to do is walk.
Wow, like all of these amazingtestimonies, that's it.
I just need you to walk becauseit's not about the exercise,
it's about this food.
Yeah, yeah, and people havelost hundreds of pounds just by
walking because you want me totell you, yeah.
So here's the thing.
People think they lose weightby, uh, caloric deficit.
(26:51):
No, I teach people, you'regonna lose weight by sugar
deficit.
Okay, okay, sugar deficit, okay, because what we do is we have
these sugar pockets.
Let me take some.
You didn't, you didn't talk mesomething.
Oh, I thought it was my caloricdeficit.
The reason I'm looking rightnow no calories it's because
I've cut the sugar.
Yeah, that's right.
Wow, that's right.
Yeah, I don't count.
No calories, no macros, macros,I'm not even none of that.
(27:11):
Okay, because we need god'sfood.
You don't have to.
Yeah, okay, when you eatanything you eat, right, it's
going to break down the glucose,right, sugar, right, it's in
your bloodstream and so thepancreas, you know, secretes the
insulin.
The insulin goes and grafts the,the glucose right and kicks it
into the cells and itmetabolizes this energy right,
because the body uses that asenergy.
So if you're not putting sugarin your body, so like you're
(27:34):
eating vegetables and that'sminimal sugar, right, so body is
going to look and say, okay,there's no sugar in this
bloodstream, but we need sugarto move, so, so where does it go
?
We go in these sugar pockets.
Oh, here's some here, here'ssome here, here's some here.
Right, it starts to burn thesesugar pockets, it starts to
release this weight.
So that's how my people arelosing.
They're like how am I losing 20pounds in less than 30 days
(27:56):
Because we're in these sugarpockets?
Okay, we've got to give hispocket.
Yeah, it's not calories.
Wow, I promise you sugar ain'tsweet.
Um, it's my name.
Yeah, damn shit ain't sweet.
Yeah, it's not, it's, it's thesugar.
We lose weight by sugar deficit.
I'm telling you people just cancut this sugar.
(28:16):
We're gonna release it andnever find it again.
That's not no.
So I say release it now.
Yeah, you lose it, we find it.
We gonna find it in the cornerand there's a release the way
and be done with it.
Just be done.
Because when you have thiseducation and you know, like you
know what this is, when I'mfeeling this low energy or I'm
taking this medication, if I canget rid of this thing just by
changing what I eat and neverhave to deal with it again, it's
(28:37):
worth it.
It's worth it.
I can have my white butt, whiteblood, my energy.
I mean, people are doing thingsthey thought they would never
do.
Yeah, bro, I thought I wouldnever run again.
I thought I would, and nowthey're running.
Yeah, I thought I was going tobe in this medication for the
rest of my life.
So I have this Q&A call with myprogram.
We have a call every day,monday through Friday, and I get
(28:57):
on.
Sometimes I have coaches thatrun it, but I get on a few days
a week just to hear the people.
This one lady said she saidthis was her testimony.
She said this is for the firsttime ever I could travel and not
have to take medication.
Wow, like I didn't have to packit.
I didn't have to go to thepharmacy to fill my prescription
before I travel, making thetravel plans around their
(29:18):
pharmacy visits Wow, so it'slike a new life for people.
It is a new life, yeah, to nothave to worry about medication
again and it's all just fromchanging what you put in your
body right and not being perfectbecause I'm not perfect.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I know people think I'm notvegan.
Yeah, I'm not vegetarian, right, plant-based.
I'm not, right, I don't do pork, okay, right, you know I try to
(29:41):
stay away from artificialcolors and things like that, but
I like a burger and fries, too,or a milkshake, I like pizza, I
like cookies, I like ice cream.
It's about getting this healthbank account in the black first,
though.
That's what I tell my people.
If you're in the red, you don'tneed those things.
What you need is to eat more ofGod's food Once you get in the
black, and then you pad theaccount.
(30:07):
You got to pad the account first.
You gotta make.
You know, because that's thething I think of it.
Think of it as like yourfinancial bank account, like you
may be in the black, but if youonly got two dollars to make,
you can't write a hundred dollarcheck.
That's true, right?
So as soon as the person getwell, they want to go celebrate
with something that makes it.
Yeah, I'm like no, let's padthe account, right, because
you're trying to write checksthat your body cannot cash.
Let's pad the account first,right.
Then, if you want to make thiswithdrawal every now and then,
(30:29):
you can do that, and it's okay.
That's living, that's life.
That's why I don't do diets.
I don't.
I don't do any of it.
I don't call it anything.
He was like what do you do andyou look amazing?
Oh, praise god, thank you.
Yeah, they're so inspiring.
Thank you at 54, 54, 54 andfine, come on inspiring the
world.
Yeah, this has been sobeautiful.
(30:50):
So one of our favorite segmentsis called the healing moment.
Yeah, and this is an actionitem for that woman that's
watching this.
It could give them just onething that they could maybe do
this week okay, that they canput into place.
Put that coffee down.
Oh, jesus, that's my one thing.
Okay, because everybody gotthat one vice the coffee you
(31:13):
just be like, and then you knowI'm that person I'd be like it's
really just a half a cup,because what you gonna put in
the tea, I don't like to putanything into.
Okay, I'm one of them peoplewhere hibiscus tea is that fine?
Okay, is it sweet to youslightly.
Okay, it don't have it, it's myhabit.
If it's sweet to you, it'sfloral, okay, is it sweet to you
?
I guess the definition would beyes, okay, then that's what you
(31:37):
look, do you understand?
You see, the mind yeah, themind was your mind is like it's
a little.
You see, I'm saying you'reright, that's an addiction.
You're right, that's anaddiction.
So when you say, well, coachRoy, I only did one cup a day, I
said then you're a one cup aday addict.
That's it why we got the.
You're right, that's what it isand it's hard for people to
accept.
(31:57):
It's true.
Cut it, coach Roy, coach Raya,it's nothing that I have every
day.
Yeah, water, I have no hold.
It's no hold on me.
None, you can't get me with nocookies, no cake, no coffee.
That thing got a hold on people.
It does.
Okay, like a refreshing littlemorning.
You know what I do everymorning Warm lemon water.
It's so refreshing.
(32:18):
You right, you have to do it.
I'm cleansing my my organs.
Have it.
Keep everything flowing andgoing.
That's all we need and I feelgreat doing that.
And I go out there and run myfive, six, seven, eight miles
without anything.
I feel great, I have nothing.
It feels good.
Freedom, yes, freedom.
That is freedom.
That's why it feels good toknow that nothing has a hold on
me.
You can't dangle as come on,you can't dangle a carrot in
(32:40):
front of my face.
You go carrot in front of mykitchen.
You can't get me with that andthat's.
People are getting got Food,beverage, whatever Sugar,
however they want to hide it,they want to do it in pasta and
bread and whatever Donuts,pastries, coffee, tea.
What Potato, sweet potato, I'mgoing to go.
Sweet potato, is it ticklingand fancy?
(33:02):
And I'm not saying sweet potatois bad because they'll be like.
Well, Coach wrote fruit and yousaid fruit is God's food.
But you didn't have fruit twoweeks ago and I'm telling you,
you can't have fruit, it becomesyour candy.
You're right, you see.
So I'm not trying to like, I'mnot.
Come on, y'all Wake up.
I thought I was woke.
(33:29):
I only got one eye open.
Listen, this, this has beenamazing.
This has been amazing.
I guess I might.
That's, that's been the onelast thing I've been holding on
to is the coffee.
So you know, but if you juststop it, if you would stop it,
no, you see, if you would stopit right and break the addiction
, go through, because somepeople may go through a little
withdrawal.
It is a withdrawal process.
You see, yes, this is how aperson can know if they're an
(33:50):
addict.
If they stop whatever it isthey do daily and their body
reacts to it, then you know itwas an addiction.
Wow, it was a drug.
Yeah, if you get a headache, youget irritable.
(34:12):
I get like because I've beentrying to get off coffee a
couple times.
Okay, you have headaches arethe worst.
Okay, then come on.
Now you'll be like well, let mejust go back back.
Yeah, so I want them.
Lord, have mercy.
Lord, jesus, help us.
Okay, listen to this.
You're telling me by stoppingsomething.
Yeah, your body has an adversereaction to it because you're
not putting a substance in yourbody.
That's what's happening.
Can that be good for you?
Yeah, that can't be good.
That is a true sign of anaddiction.
(34:34):
Your body is saying where's mystuff, the stuff you usually
give me?
Every day I'm looking for itand if I don't give it to you,
i'm'm going.
I'm about to have a fit up inhere.
Yeah, that's an addiction.
Now that right there is singing.
Now, I got to hold youaccountable to that.
We're going to have to stop it.
We're going to have to stop it.
Yeah, you're going to be free.
Yeah, it's freedom.
(34:55):
It is for you, nothing and I dolike a little bit of water in
the morning.
Go back to it.
Leave that sugar on.
You're going to get a littleheadache.
It's only temporary, it istemporary.
It's temporary.
Once you break through, you'rethrough, and once you're done,
every so often you want to havea cup whatever.
Every so often, some people belike you know what?
(35:15):
Just one day a week, I have mything.
You can't get addicted one daya week.
That everyday thing though, oh,that's an addict.
That's an addict.
I don't care how you slice it,that's an addict.
Tea, you put in something.
That's an addict.
Bread every day that's anaddict.
Potatoes every day that's anaddict.
(35:36):
The body doesn't know thedifference, I told you, between
the honey and the honey bun.
It doesn't know the difference.
It processes differently, butit doesn't know the difference.
It still lighten up the brain,still get that dopamine hit,
just like cocaine.
So the only way to stop it isto stop it.
Oh jesus, I know this was gonnabe therapeutic.
I mean I know it's gonna feellike a workout, like I know it's
(35:57):
gonna be like I got punched inthe face, but I know I'm gonna
be bleeding out on the whitecouch floor.
But this is the wake-up callthat I need.
It's the wake-up call.
You watching this need like weall need the wake-up so that we
can be the person that we weredestined to be, because all this
stuff, all these vices, allthese additives, like that is
(36:18):
really like not allowing us totruly be the person that god
designed us to be.
And if you really want to beour best selves we really want
to be our best selves.
We really want to be our mostauthentic selves we got to
actually figure out what weactually enjoy.
That's on the list of God'sfruits, not what we've settled
to have out of convenience orout of laziness or out of
addiction.
Yeah, that is true, true story.
(36:39):
When I, when I started mybusiness in 2012, right, so, the
name of my company is Rock yourPark, that's my I said I need a
scripture.
You know that goes with mybusiness.
I need a scripture.
I went to the Bible and Iflipped it open.
I just like opened it up and myeyes went straight to 3 John, 1
and 2.
And the translation that I likeit says Dear friends, I pray
(37:00):
that all is well with you andthat you are as healthy in body
as you are strong in spirit.
And I said that part.
I said because we sold out forChrist.
Now, okay, but this healthy andbody we're lacking, yeah, right
, and we cannot serve the waygod would have us to serve if
we're not healthy and body.
We cannot.
I don't care how fire a personthink they are, how much they
(37:23):
think they're quote unquotekilling it.
Or I promise you you're thespirit of speech money on the
table because you're not well.
Right, there's more to do, butwe can't do it because we're
sick or we're not as well as wecould be and I want people to be
whatever God would have them tobe.
Yeah, right, and he's told uswhat to eat.
(37:45):
This is so good.
Tell them about the masterclassthat you have, because I know
they're probably thinking likeman, what's next?
Because I know you didn't gotpeople fired up.
I know my husband over there inthe corner, like man, what's
she going to do tomorrow?
What's she going to do whenthat coffee?
I ain't going to do it.
I'm going to really stick to it.
You know what I'm saying.
My daughter deserves for me tobe around.
That's deserve to geteverything that God designed me
(38:08):
to have.
So that's like I'm done.
Yeah, so I have a in a programcalled a shooting sweet Academy.
Right, it's a six week programand that's it showing people how
to reverse chronic illness with, with God's food.
And so how you get into theprogram is you first attend my
masterclass.
I do a free masterclass sevendays a week, every day, 8 PM,
eastern standard time.
(38:28):
Get on there about two and ahalf hours and listen to me.
Teach, okay, because, again, Ibelieve we have to be educated.
So that's why I call it.
It's an academy Sherbet SweetAcademy is what it's called,
because you're actually inschool.
You're learning.
Yeah, that program has justhelped thousands and thousands
of people.
It's simple.
See, this is what I know aboutGod.
God is simple, he is.
I mean the things he tellsthere's nothing hard about.
(38:50):
People say, well, what are thepeople doing?
These are three things peopleare doing Eating God's food,
moving their bodies and drinkingwater.
Isn't that simple, that's it.
There are no pills, powders,potions.
I don't count.
There ain't no counting nothing.
You don't get no scale,calories, macros, none of that.
That's all we're doing, that'sall I teach them to do.
But in that, uh, in the academy, though, you're learning how to
(39:12):
shop, you learn how to relabels, you learn the dangers of these
artificial colors andsweeteners and you know msg.
You're learning, like, thetoxins that are in the food.
You're learning the benefits ofdrinking water.
Moving your body, you learn,you learn how the body works.
I have this thing called thecell theory, right, have you
heard me talk about the cell.
Yeah, okay, ok.
So real quick I'll make thisquick biology.
Yes, ok.
So I say, if you break us downto our most basic unit, right,
(39:34):
like if you break a person nowall the way down to the bottom,
we're made of cells.
Right now, this is the processit goes Cells make up tissues,
tissues make up organs, organsmake up organ systems and organ
systems make up the organismwhich is the person In our
bodies right now.
We have trillions of cells,trillions, okay, those cells.
(39:56):
So here's something I read inthe book.
It says it takes 19 vitaminsand minerals with non-amino
acids, with the perfect protein,and make a perfect cell.
And if you're missing onenutrient, you make an imperfect
cells for seven days.
Right, those imperfect cellsmanifest into disease.
So it's one root cause ofdisease and that's
malfunctioning of cells.
But here's a question I haveWell, where do those nutrients?
(40:17):
Where do we get the nutrients?
From Food, right?
So food is the foundation.
If you're eating God's food,it's going to make healthy cells
, which will make healthytissues, which will make healthy
organs, which will make healthyorgan systems.
So so you say what do you mean?
Organ systems, reproductivesystem, cardiovascular system,
central nervous system, rightIntegumentary system, lymphatic
(40:39):
system, like there's 14 systemsright.
If you have healthy organsystems, you can be a healthy
person.
But the converse is also true.
If you eat unhealthy food ieChick-fil-era bread, you know
wendy's, mcdonald's right you'regonna have unhealthy cells,
unhealthy tissues, right organs,organ systems, gonna be an
unhealthy person.
But here's the beauty when Isay if you did it, you can undo
(40:59):
it.
It doesn't matter where you are, because we have those
trillions of cells right in ourbodies.
Your body is replacing 3.8million new cells every second
of your life.
Wow, every second of your life.
3.
That's how my husband got onmedication.
In eight days we started givinghim healthy food, right, and we
started replacing those 3.8million new cells every second
(41:21):
with God's food.
Wow, and it just refers.
So if you did it, you can undoit.
That's why education is soimportant, that's why education
is the floor, education, you see.
So when you know all of this,that's why you're like, well,
how could I go back now?
But if you don't know, if youdon't know, then you think I'm
doomed.
You think it's, oh, it runs inmy family.
(41:41):
Yep, y'all, it's nothingrunning in your family.
Yeah, please, nothing.
I don't care how many peoplehad it.
Look at how they ate, right,they probably all ate the same
too.
Diabetes doesn't run in yourfamily.
High blood pressure, obesity,high cholesterol Nothing runs in
your family.
And even for those that say,okay, cancer, okay, there's
about a 10% geneticpredisposition to cancer 10%.
(42:04):
Who's in control of the other90%?
And it starts with what you putin your mouth.
So I'm just trying to kill allthe myths.
Yeah, absolutely Okay, take, wegot to take ownership.
Yeah, however you feel, you didit.
But the encouragement is that ifyou did it, you can undo it.
So this is not me like punchingyour gut.
Well, I do, I'm sorry you may.
You may have a little punch ortwo, but it's empowering.
(42:28):
It is empowering.
It doesn't matter.
If you did it, you can undo itonce you have this information.
So now you must considereverything you put in your mouth
.
Is it building me up orbreaking me down?
Because it ain't no in-betweenEverything.
Is this building me up orbreaking me down?
That's what you have to askyourself.
Everything you put in yourmouth, when you think of them
(42:50):
3.8 million sales every secondof your life Is that not a game
changer?
Listen, I will never eat thesame again.
We was going to order lunchafter this.
I know my team is like y'all,are we still getting chips?
What are we doing here?
This has been life changing, andwhen I think about this
(43:10):
information, changinggenerations with the right
information, like the structurethat you've created, like this
is phenomenal.
You've changed my life, like inthis brief conversation, like
my life has been completelychanged and I'm grateful for the
way in which God is using youto change our whole generation.
Praise God, you to change ourwhole generation, right, scott?
(43:33):
Like when I think about theamount of people coming off of
medication, and like changingthe trajectory of their family,
like and this even goes so deepas like people not even being
able to get in the finances youknow what I'm saying like you
know what I mean.
Like people in that that cycleof poverty, they're like
wondering why this all happened,I realized, and that if they
were feeding their minds withthe right food, like, they will
be able to even think faster andcreate inventions and do all
(43:57):
this stuff.
Let me tell you something,though.
That's real.
I don't know if you've heard ofthe gut brain connection, right
?
So it's no coincidence.
That would like you could eatsomething, right, and have you
feeling a certain way mentally,yeah, okay, yeah, well, the
converse is also true.
You can have something going onwith you mentally and it can
affect your digestive system,right, something like you could
(44:18):
be nervous.
All of a sudden, you don't havean amity, you feel nauseous,
whatever.
It's a connection.
So this, what you put in yourbody, affects your mental state,
right, and so people you thinkabout people, uh, with any type
of you know mental health issue,or even children, dealing with
things like adhd and things likethat.
Food is it makes a difference.
(44:39):
You know, even kids that aredyslexic and things like that.
It makes a difference, not eventhe food, but, uh, household
products you use.
Okay, all those things, okay,don't look at, don't give me
talking about clorox and allthis and febreze and all that.
Oh, that's bad.
What you put on your skin, ohthat's bad.
60 percent what you put on yourskin goes directly to your
bloodstream.
So I know the ladies, they'reall bad, their body works and
(45:00):
all that is.
I'm killing clothes on.
All that's killing you, killingyourselves, right?
So it's so much deeper thanwhat people know.
You know, know, I just talkabout food, but I can go into a
whole lot of stuff, you know,because it's just a lot, but
that's why we're sick, you know,that's why we're sick.
You know, like cancer ratesthrough the roof.
You know, just, obesity isthrough the roof.
(45:23):
I mean everything.
Like we have to learn this thingbecause we can't depend on the
government.
I mean they're not, they're notfor us.
Have to learn this thingbecause we can't depend on the
government.
I mean they're not, they're notfor us.
You know, we have to know forourselves.
Can't depend on them.
Fda is not.
You're not looking out for you.
They, they authorize this stuff.
They they authorize, uh, splitthat to be on the shelf, even
though that's an artificialsweeper that's killing people.
We have to know.

and helping women to finallyheal.
Yeah, and to be a priority.
Like this has been amazing.
Any parting words.
