The ultimate showdown between cardio and weightlifting finally explained! After a recent podcast appearance with Angie Wisdom sparked numerous questions, I dive deep into what truly works for women's fitness, especially as we age. Let's start by shattering some persistent myths. Despite what you may have heard, muscle doesn't "weigh more" than fat—a pound is a pound regardless. The difference lies in density, with muscle taking up less space on your frame. And ladies, you won't get "bulky" f...

Having witnessed addiction devastate relationships and create cycles of pain, I've also seen the breathtaking transformation that occurs when people embrace the difficult but rewarding path to healing. The science of addiction reveals how our brains become hijacked through dopamine release when we turn to substances or behaviors that temporarily relieve pain. Whether it's alcohol, drugs, pornography, shopping, or...

Healing the Gut: A Journey to Radiant Health
Your body is constantly communicating with you—but are you listening to what it's trying to tell you?

Celebrate Recovery: Not Just for Addicts
Healing begins when we stop categorizing others as "the ones who need help" and turn the mirror on ourselves.

Celebrate Recovery isn't what you think. This Christ-centered program that began at Saddleback Church addresses not just addiction, but every human struggle: codependency, perfectionism, control iss...

Rewiring Your Subconscious Mind: Journey to Authentic Living
Ever catch yourself doing exactly what you promised you'd stop? Maybe it's falling off track with fitness goals, abandoning your spiritual disciplines, or self-sabotaging right before a breakthrough. The culprit isn't weak willpower – it's your subconscious mind running programs you never consciously chose. Your subconscious beliefs formed long ago through childhood experiences, words spoken over you, and past traumas. Like hidden software, they silently dictate your reactions, habits, and d...
