Now, before your emotions get the best of you & you start getting all judgy, jump to conclusions, & throw “anti” labels around, can I just ask a question?
•
In a culture seemingly obsessed with cheat codes, life hacks, quick fixes, & instant gratification, are we losing sight of what health is & where it comes from?
•
I mean, seriously & sincerely, I am by no means above or immune from the pull & temptation either… I feel it just as much as anyone I can imagine.
•
You may not know this about me, but I used to tip the scales by 80 more pounds than I do today… and I do know what it feels like to have my blood sugar in the 500s & the 50s.
•
I’m not “picking on” any specific thing or product, but rather a narrative we’re being “sold.”
•
That “we” can’t be healthy without “their” help!
•
Which is ironic when you think about it… because “they” are the same ones telling us we’re “perfect just the way we are.”
•
But we’re not perfect. Deep down, none of us are where we long & crave to be… and MAYBE THAT’S THE WHOLE POINT! We were created for more… more than this life or world could ever provide, though it won’t stop promising it.
•
So, regardless of the injection, or the pill, or the cream, or the fad, or whatever the modality, as helpful as some may be & as grateful as I am that some of them exist & save lives… they simply do not make any of us healthy.
•
That can really only come from living in alignment with how our bodies have been designed. It can only come from within. And it starts in the mind, and is practiced through self-control.
•
I would love to talk with you more about this if you’re interested, so please feel free to reach out.

Oh, & if you’re interested in how I dropped 80 pounds & got my blood sugar under control, there’s so secret there or anything to sell… hard work & discipline. And, as I reflect back on it, I think one of the best things that came from it was the opportunity I had to model sacrifice, suffering, self-awareness, & surrender to our kids. That my choices got me into that “mess”, & they got me out of it too.
