  • 355: Vegan Meat Substitutes: Here’s What No One’s Told You
    Aug 19 2025

    You're trying to eat healthier. You're on board with whole food plant-based eating - and maybe even excited about the way it could completely change your life.

    But when it’s time to eat… it feels like something's missing.

    Maybe it's the texture. The nostalgia. Or just the feeling that dinner isn't "right" unless there's a meaty center on the plate.

    That’s where fake meat sneaks in. It looks like the answer. It’s familiar. Comfortable. "Close enough.”

    But here’s the concern: If you're relying on fake meat to feel satisfied with your meals… it could be the very thing holding you back from feeling your best.

    In this episode, we're unpacking how we've all been conditioned to believe that "meat is the meal"—and how that belief can keep you stuck, sick, and feeling like plant-based eating just doesn’t satisfy.

    Here’s what you'll discover:

    ✅ Why your brain craves something “meaty”

    ✅ How food marketing made you believe animal protein (or its imitation) must be the star of every plate

    ✅ What to look for instead—and how to find real satisfaction with whole plant foods

    ✅ The Big Key that make plant-based eating not only doable—but joyful

    You’ll walk away feeling empowered and inspired to ditch the fake stuff and find the satisfying meals that nourish your body PLUS taste absolutely amazing.

    What you’re eating affects so much more than your plate—it touches your energy, your goals, and your ability to show up fully for the calling you’ve been given.

    ✨ Ready to go deeper and make this lifestyle stick? Learn more about our step-by-step coaching program, Accelerator, where we walk hand-in-hand with you to make plant-based living simple, satisfying, and sustainable: 👉 poweronplants.com/accelerator

    💚 Want the simplest, most enjoyable WFPB recipes? Grab our go-to favorites here: poweronplants.com/cookbook —

    the easy, flavorful meals that help you naturally crowd out the stuff that’s getting in the way of your healing so you can 10x your productivity!

    You don’t have to settle for fake versions of what you used to love. There’s a better way—and thankfully, it actually tastes better, too. 🙌🏼

  • 352: The Biggest Weight Loss Lie (And How to Break Free From Diet Prison Forever)
    Jul 29 2025

    Have you found yourself standing in your kitchen after another "failed" diet day, staring down that bag of chips, feeling like you've lost control again? The guilt, the frustration, the voice in your head saying "Why can't I just stick to it?"

    Stop. You are NOT broken.

    We see this story play out with our clients over and over again. They spend years trapped in the exhausting cycle of cutting carbs, losing a few pounds, then gaining it all back (plus more).

    They feel tired, cranky, and defeated - convinced they're just destined to struggle with weight loss forever (plus a growing list of other health problems, too.)

    But here's what we discovered that changes everything: Your body NEEDS carbs to burn fat effectively. When you cut them out, you're literally fighting against your biology.

    But here's the thing: When we stop restricting and started nourishing our bodies with the right kinds of carbs, the result is happily losing weight and gaining the energy that's needed to fully enjoy life. No more lost moments. No more saying "I can't" to the things you want to do. No more regrets.

    Together Jarrod and I have personally lost over 75 pounds and kept it off for years - all while eating the exciting, delicious WFPB meals that we love, and that love our bodies back.

    In this latest podcast episode, we're exposing the biggest lie in weight loss and sharing the exact strategy that helped us break free from diet prison forever. This isn't another quick fix - it's enjoyable, sustainable weight loss that works WITH your body, not against it.

    Friend, you deserve to feel energized, confident, and free to live your God-given calling. ❤️ Your people are waiting for you! And we're here to show you exactly how to get your body to the place where you can fully show up for them.

    Ready to finally end the diet cycle for good, feel good, and fully live your dreams? Then let's get to it! 🎧

    For years, experts have warned us about these invisible toxins—PFAS, the so-called “forever chemicals”—lurking in our kitchens, our clothes, even the air we breathe. They’re linked to cancer, hormone disruption, problems with the immune system, issues with metabolism, high cholesterol, and a host of other health issues. And until now, the only advice was to avoid them and hope for the best, since they can linger in your body for up to 30 years.

    But what if there was a way to fight back? What if the answer was hiding in plain sight?

    In this episode, we're pulling back the curtain on some everyday products that could be quietly contaminating your life. You'll discover the shocking truth about where these chemicals are hiding (spoiler: it’s not just your nonstick pans), and the real risks they pose to your health.

    💕 But here’s our favorite part: you do not have to live in fear of them, because there’s a simple, science-backed strategy that can help your body clear out these toxins dramatically faster than anyone thought possible.

    And it’s not a pill, a cleanse, or a complicated protocol!

    Ready to discover the solution that can help your body do what it was designed to do—thrive, heal, and protect itself?

    Tune in now for the practical steps you can take today to reclaim your health, energize your life, and finally break free constant concern over these chemicals.
