    275. "Cutting refined carbs helped me train for a marathon": John

    19/04/2026 | 34 mins.
    John grew up in Indiana eating Hungry Man dinners, boxes of sugary cereal, and green-frosted Ninja Turtle pies... and no-one ever told him sugar was a problem! 
    By his early 30s he was pushing 290 pounds, prediabetic, and on blood pressure medication.
    After discovering low-carb eating and spending years experimenting with ketosis, John learned how to train his body to burn fat instead of sugar and refined carbs for fuel. 
    John's wake-up call at age 46 led him to build Rebel Health Alliance, which is a virtual clinic available across all 50 states where physicians, dietitians, strength coaches, and genetic counselors all work together on the client's behalf.
    Today at 50, John is lean at 6'4" and 220 pounds, and is training to qualify for a marathon!

    274. "My faith helped me quit sugar": Christine

    12/04/2026 | 36 mins.
    Christine spent 30 years trapped in the cycle of yo-yo dieting. 
    She tried everything from Weight Watchers to a hospital-supervised liquid protein program. But nobody ever taught her why her body was working against her. 
    In this episode, Christine opens up about growing up on the Standard American Diet (SAD), the childhood bullying that shaped her relationship with food, and how she reached 230 pounds.
    It was when she began to understand the role of insulin, carbohydrate intolerance, and emotional eating in her health struggles that her life changed.
    But Christine's story doesn't stop at weight loss. She shares how a renewed daily Bible practice transformed her spiritual life and helped her realize she had been filling the "holes in her soul" with food — and how that breakthrough became the foundation of her coaching methodology for Christian women.

    273. What to say when someone offers you sugar

    05/04/2026 | 18 mins.
    What do you say when someone offers you something with sugar in it… and you don’t want it?
    Or you kind of do... but you don't want to sabotage your efforts to break free from sugar cravings?
    In this episode, I walk you through simple, real-life ways to respond without feeling rude, awkward, or pressured to explain yourself.
    We also look at what’s really going on in those moments, including the self-doubt that can show up later, even after you’ve said no.
    This is about learning to have more compassion - for yourself and for others - so that you can feel more confident in your choices.

    272. "Mindful eating helped reduce my sugar cravings": Angela

    29/03/2026 | 45 mins.
    Angela grew up with a lot of stress and tension around food at home.
    In her 20s, she struggled with severe sugar addiction alongside anxiety and depression, using sugar as a primary coping mechanism.
    In this conversation, Angela shares how that breaking point led her to eat more mindfully, and how learning to be present in everyday moments slowly changed her relationship with food, cravings, and emotions.
    Today, Angela  is a functional and integrative health practitioner. Her work blends physiology, nervous system regulation, and mindfulness, with a strong emphasis on helping women understand why their bodies are responding the way they are.
    We talk about mindful eating, why cravings often have nothing to do with hunger, and how building awareness in small, ordinary moments can help you feel more in control around sugar.
    Mindfulness may not completely eliminate cravings, but it can change your relationship to them.

    271. "White sugar and flour were our biggest triggers": Violet

    22/03/2026 | 30 mins.
    When Violet's husband’s health crisis forced them to look for solutions, sugar and white flour weren’t even on the list.
    In this episode, Violet shares how her husband’s Crohn’s disease led them to completely rethink the way they eat. 
    They were trying to keep him off of meds because he didn't like the side effects that came with them. 
    But when their version of healthy eating wasn't working, Violet and her husband decided to dive into functional medicine. And that really changed their whole perspective on nutrition. 
    They immediately cut all sugar and all gluten.
    And to their amazement, their health got so much better!
    Violet also talks about baking without white flour, navigating family meals and eating out, and how they’re raising young kids on mostly whole foods without making it feel restrictive.
    This is an inspiring story of how cutting white sugar and flour changed Violet's and her husband's lives, and how it will also have a positive ripple effect on their children.
