Order supplements through my Fullscript store.

When it comes to supplements, quality matters. Many manufacturers are either ignorant, or they just don't have the resources to maintain proper quality control. Low quality supplements could do you more harm than good.

That's why I only recommend professional-grade products that are 3d party tested. These manufacturers encourage independent 3d party certification. Get peace of mind knowing that what's inside the bottle matches what's on the label.

Most of these products are only available through a practitioner. Create and account now; It's free; there's no obligation, and you'll lock in a permanent 10% discount. You'll also have access to my recommended products and protocols. Get started by clicking the image above or the button below.

Summary (1-Minute Read)

Hi Natural Nation,


The truth about yo-yo dieting is more shocking than you might think. This episode dives into groundbreaking research that explains why counting calories fails and reveals a more effective path to sustainable weight management - one that aligns with God's design for our bodies.


Essential insights covered:


  • The scientific proof of how dieting damages your metabolism
  • Why gut health could be the key to your weight loss success
  • The surprising role of mitochondria in weight management

Through compelling scientific studies, including a fascinating experiment with twins and mice, we uncover how your microbiome influences weight regulation more than previously thought. Plus, learn why chronic stress might be the hidden factor sabotaging your weight loss efforts.


But there's hope! We explore how simple lifestyle modifications, including an unexpected approach to exercise, can transform your body's ability to maintain a healthy weight naturally. You'll discover why short walks throughout the day might be more effective than intense gym sessions for controlling blood sugar and reducing belly fat.

Ready to break free from the cycle of yo-yo dieting and embrace God's path to sustainable health?


Watch or listen to the full episode for the complete strategy that combines biblical wisdom with cutting-edge science.
