After Pastor Chatman retired from the fire department he started the Kingdom of Deliverance Worship Center. Under his leadership, the church flourished, attracting a diverse and vibrant congregation. His dynamic preaching style, coupled with his ability to connect with people from all walks of life, made him a beloved figure in the community. In the year 2013 God inspired him and his wife to move to his hometown in Tampa to start a church. Today that church is called the “Tampa Revival Center”. Tamparevivalctr.com

Pre-diabetes is a condition where your blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not yet high enough to be diagnosed as type 2 diabetes. If left untreated, pre-diabetes can progress to type 2 diabetes. However, with the right lifestyle changes, many people with pre-diabetes can reverse their condition.  


Here are 7 natural ways to reverse pre-diabetes:

1. Follow a Healthy Diet:

  • Eat a plant-based diet: Emphasize fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and lean proteins.

  • Control your portion sizes: Be mindful of how much you eat and avoid overeating.
  • Choose healthy fats: Incorporate healthy fats like avocados, nuts, seeds, and olive oil into your diet.

2. Exercise Regularly:

  • Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise most days of the week.
  • Find activities you enjoy: This will make it easier to stick to your exercise routine.
  • Consider resistance training: Building muscle can help improve your metabolism.

3. Lose Weight:

  • Even a modest weight loss can make a significant difference in managing pre-diabetes.
  • Focus on sustainable lifestyle changes: Aim for gradual weight loss rather than quick fixes.

4. Manage Stress:

  • Chronic stress can contribute to pre-diabetes.
  • Practice relaxation techniques: Mindfulness, meditation, yoga, and deep breathing can help manage stress.

5. Get Enough Sleep:

  • Lack of sleep can affect your metabolism and increase your risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
  • Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night.

6. Limit Alcohol Intake:

  • Excessive alcohol consumption can contribute to weight gain and insulin resistance.
  • If you drink alcohol, do so in moderation.

7. Monitor Your Blood Sugar:

  • Regularly check your blood sugar levels to track your progress.
  • Work with your healthcare provider to set target blood sugar levels.

Remember: It's essential to consult with your healthcare provider before making any significant changes to your lifestyle. They can provide personalized guidance and monitor your progress.

Top Tips For Music Artist Can Stay Health On Their Musical Journey: Show Sponsored By Rap Artist Bandana Blac TGEe

Staying Fit on Energy and Performance
Welcome back to another episode of the Your Best Lifestyles Health and Wellness Podcast.
Today, I want to talk about how music artist can stay healthy on their journey. Here are some of my tips:
1. Staying Fit On Tour: Effective Workouts For Traveling Artists:
Staying Fit On Tour: Effective Workouts For Traveling Artist
Staying fit on tour can be a challenge, but it's essential for maintaining energy and performance. As traveling artists, we often have limited access to standard gym facilities. However, effective workouts can be done anytime and anywhere. Bodyweight exercises, like push-ups and squats, require no equipment and can easily fit into our busy schedules.
Incorporating short, high-intensity interval training sessions is another great option. Aim for 20 minutes of intense activity followed by short rest periods. Remember to stay hydrated and prioritize proper nutrition. By making fitness a priority, we can enhance our overall performance and well-being while on the road.
2. Nutrition On The Go: Healthy Eating Tips For Busy Musicians:
As busy musicians, we often find ourselves on the go, juggling rehearsals, gigs, and travel. This can make it difficult to maintain a balanced diet. One key to healthy eating is preparation. Pack nutrient-rich snacks like nuts, fruit, and whole-grain bars to keep your energy levels up during long days.
Stay hydrated by carrying a reusable water bottle, ensuring you drink enough throughout the day. When eating out, opt for grilled over fried options and choose salads or vegetable sides to enhance your nutrient intake. With these simple tips, you can fuel your passion for music while nourishing your body.
3. Sleep Hygiene:
The Importance Of Rest For Creative Professionals
Sleep is an essential pillar of overall well-being, particularly for creative professionals. Quality rest enhances cognitive function, boosts mood, and fosters innovative thinking. When we neglect our sleep hygiene, we jeopardize our creative potential and productivity.
Establishing a consistent sleep routine, creating a restful environment, and limiting screen time before bed are vital for optimal rest. Investing in our sleep not only improves our health but also elevates our creativity, allowing us to bring our best ideas to life. Prioritize sleep, and watch your creativity flourish.
4. Building A Support Network: Connecting With Fellow Artists For Well-being
Building a support network is essential for artists seeking to enhance their well-being. Connecting with fellow creatives allows us to share experiences, gain valuable feedback, and inspire one another. These relationships can be a lifeline in challenging times, providing encouragement and motivation when we need it most.
As artists, we often work in solitude, which can lead to feelings of isolation. By fostering a community, we not only uplift ourselves but also contribute to a culture of collaboration and support. Let us invest time in building meaningful connections with fellow artists and prioritize our collective well-being.

Flipping the Fat-Burning Switch:

Welcome back to another exciting episode of the Your Best Lifestyles Health and Wellness Podcast
I want talk to you more on naturally burning body fat Here are some tips:
Flipping the Fat-Burning Switch:
Your Guide to Natural Weight Loss
The concept of a "fat-burning switch" often conjures images of magical pills or extreme diets. But the truth is, activating your body's natural fat-burning mechanisms is achievable through sustainable lifestyle changes. Let's explore the science behind fat burning and practical steps to ignite your metabolism.
Understanding Your Body's Fat-Burning Furnace
Your body is a complex machine designed for survival.
When you consume more calories than you burn, your body stores excess energy as fat for future use. To lose weight, you need to create a calorie deficit while preserving muscle mass. This involves a combination of diet and exercise.
Key hormones involved in fat burning:
Leptin:
Produced by fat cells, it signals fullness to the brain.
Ghrelin:
The hunger hormone, stimulates appetite.
Insulin:
Helps regulate blood sugar but can also promote fat storage.
Cortisol:
The stress hormone, can contribute to belly fat accumulation.
Thyroid hormones:
Regulate metabolism.
The Fat-Burning Switch:
Lifestyle Changes
Prioritize Protein:
Protein boosts metabolism and helps preserve muscle mass during weight loss.
Include lean sources like chicken, fish, tofu, and legumes in your diet.
Embrace Healthy Fats:
Contrary to popular belief, healthy fats are essential for fat burning.
Incorporate avocados, nuts, seeds, olive oil, and fatty fish into your meals.
Manage Carbohydrates:
Opt for complex carbs like whole grains, brown rice, and quinoa.
Limit refined carbs and sugary drinks.
Stay Hydrated:
Water helps boost metabolism and can reduce appetite.
Aim for at least 8 glasses of water daily.
Prioritize Sleep:
Lack of sleep disrupts hormones, leading to weight gain.
Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night.
Manage Stress:
Chronic stress can lead to weight gain.
Practice relaxation techniques like meditation, yoga, or deep breathing.
Regular Exercise:
A combination of cardio and strength training is ideal.
Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week.
Strength Training:
Building muscle increases your metabolic rate.
Incorporate weightlifting or resistance training into your routine.
High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT):
Short bursts of intense exercise followed by rest can boost metabolism.
Try incorporating HIIT workouts into your routine.
Intermittent Fasting:
This eating pattern can help regulate hormones and promote fat burning.
Consult with a healthcare professional before starting.
The Role of Nutrition
Focus on Whole Foods: Prioritize fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, whole grains, and healthy fats.
Portion Control:
Be mindful of portion sizes to avoid overeating.  
Mindful Eating:
Pay attention to hunger cues and avoid distractions while eating.
Limit Processed Foods:
These often contain added sugars, unhealthy fats, and sodium.
The Power of Mindset
Set Realistic Goals: Focus on progress, not perfection.
Celebrate Small Wins:
Acknowledge your achievements to stay motivated.
Find a Support System:
Surround yourself with people who encourage your goals.
Practice Self-Care:
Prioritize activities that promote relaxation and well-being.
Patience and Persistence
Remember, sustainable weight loss takes time and effort. Avoid quick fixes and fad diets. Focus on building healthy habits that you can maintain in the long term.

The Power Of patience In Your Health Journey. Www.Yourbestlifestyles.com

Welcome back to another exciting episode of the Your Best Lifestyles Podcast
Today I want to talk more about the power of patience in your health journey
The Power of Patience:
Cultivating Wellness
In our fast-paced world, instant gratification is often the norm. We crave quick fixes and immediate results. However, when it comes to wellness, patience is a virtue that is often overlooked. True health and well-being are journeys, not destinations, and they require time, consistency, and a patient approach.
Understanding the Importance of Patience
Patience is more than just waiting; it’s a mindset. It's about accepting the process, embracing challenges, and trusting in the journey. When applied to wellness, patience allows you to focus on progress rather than perfection. It helps you build sustainable habits and avoid burnout.
Reduced Stress: Impatience can lead to increased stress levels. By practicing patience, you can cultivate a calmer and more relaxed state of mind.
Improved Mental Health:
Patience is linked to higher levels of happiness, optimism, and resilience. It allows you to appreciate the present moment and find joy in the small steps forward.
Enhanced Relationships:
Patience fosters understanding, empathy, and compassion in your relationships. It helps you navigate conflicts and build stronger connections.
Sustainable Weight Loss:
Quick fixes and fad diets often lead to temporary results. Patient weight loss through healthy eating and exercise is more likely to be sustainable.
Better Fitness Results: Building muscle, increasing endurance, or improving flexibility takes time. Patience allows you to enjoy the process and avoid plateaus.
Cultivating Patience in Your Wellness Journey
Set Realistic Goals:
Break down your larger goals into smaller, achievable steps. Celebrate each milestone, no matter how small.
Focus on Progress, Not Perfection: Remember that progress is not linear. There will be ups and downs. Focus on the overall direction rather than dwelling on setbacks.
Practice Mindfulness:
Mindfulness helps you stay present and appreciate the journey. It reduces impatience and increases your ability to enjoy the process.
Build a Support System:
Surround yourself with people who encourage and support your wellness goals. Share your journey with others and celebrate your successes together.
Embrace Challenges: View challenges as opportunities for growth. Learn from setbacks and use them as motivation to keep going.
Practice Self-Compassion: Be kind to yourself. Everyone makes mistakes. Forgive yourself and move forward.
Find Joy in the Process: Look for the positive aspects of your wellness journey. Enjoy the feeling of accomplishment, the improvements in your overall well-being, and the sense of purpose it brings.
Patience in Specific Wellness Areas
Weight Loss:
Sustainable weight loss is a marathon, not a sprint. Focus on creating healthy habits and making gradual changes.
Fitness: Building strength and endurance takes time. Celebrate small improvements and enjoy the process of getting fitter.

Life-Changing Tips for Stress-Free Healthy Living

In today's fast-paced world, stress has become an unwelcome companion for many. The constant pressure to achieve, perform, and meet expectations can take a toll on our physical and mental well-being. But it's possible to reclaim your life and embrace a stress-free, healthy lifestyle. Here are some life-changing tips to help you on your journey.

Before diving into solutions, it's essential to understand stress. Stress is your body's natural response to perceived threats or demands. While short-term stress can be beneficial, chronic stress can have detrimental effects on your health, including:

  • Weakened immune system
  • Heart disease
  • Digestive problems
  • Sleep disturbances
  • Anxiety and depression

Self-care isn't selfish; it's essential for your overall well-being. Here are some self-care practices to incorporate into your daily routine:

  • Mindfulness and Meditation: These practices help calm the mind and reduce stress. Even a few minutes of daily meditation can make a significant difference.
  • Physical Activity: Exercise is a powerful stress reliever. Find an activity you enjoy, whether it's dancing, hiking, or swimming.
  • Sufficient Sleep: Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night. Create a relaxing bedtime routine and ensure a comfortable sleep environment.
  • Healthy Eating: Nourish your body with whole foods. Avoid excessive caffeine and alcohol, as they can contribute to stress and anxiety.   1. zoopok.com zoopok.com
  • Hobbies and Interests: Engage in activities you love to relax and recharge. Whether it's reading, painting, or gardening, make time for your passions.

Feeling overwhelmed can contribute to stress. Effective time management can help you regain control:

  • Prioritize Tasks: Focus on important tasks first and delegate or eliminate less critical ones.
  • Break Down Large Tasks: Divide overwhelming projects into smaller, manageable steps.
  • Avoid Multitasking: Concentrate on one task at a time for better focus and productivity.
  • Time Blocking: Allocate specific time blocks for different activities to improve efficiency.
  • Say No: It's okay to decline additional responsibilities if you're already overwhelmed.

Strong social connections are crucial for emotional well-being. Spend quality time with loved ones, join social groups, or volunteer to build a supportive network.

Setting boundaries is essential for maintaining work-life balance. Establish clear boundaries between work and personal time. This might involve disconnecting from work emails and notifications during your off hours.

Focusing on the positive aspects of your life can shift your perspective and reduce stress. Keep a gratitude journal or simply take a few moments each day to reflect on things you're thankful for.  


Financial stress can significantly impact your overall well-being. Create a budget, track your spending, and avoid impulsive purchases. Consider seeking financial advice if needed.

If you're struggling to manage stress on your own, don't hesitate to seek professional help. A therapist can provide valuable tools and strategies to cope with stress and improve your mental health.

Your surroundings can influence your mood. Create a peaceful and inviting space at home where you can relax and unwind. Incorporate elements like soft lighting, comfortable furniture, and plants.

Perfectionism can be a significant source of stress. Embrace imperfections and focus on progress rather than achieving perfection.

Mindfulness involves being fully present in the moment. Incorporate mindfulness into your daily routine by paying attention to your senses, thoughts, and feelings without judgment.

Short breaks throughout the day can help prevent burnout. Step away from your work, take a short walk, or practice deep breathing exercises.
