How to Rewire Your Brain and Increase Neuroplasticity — God's Blueprint for Renewing Your Mind   Did you know your thoughts can physically change your brain? In this episode, Annette shares powerful science and biblical truth about neuroplasticity — the brain's ability to rewire itself. When you learn to take every thought captive and renew your mind, you don't just feel different. Your brain actually changes.   What Happens in Your Brain When You Capture Your Thoughts   Research shows that intentionally redirecting your thoughts thickens areas of the brain responsible for learning, empathy, emotional regulation, and compassion. At the same time, it shrinks areas linked to fear, stress, and anxiety. Neuroscientist Andrew Newberg even discovered measurable brain changes in individuals who practiced centering prayer and disciplined thinking over time. This is experience-dependent neuroplasticity in action — your brain reshapes itself based on what you repeatedly think.   Why Your Brain Defaults to Negative Thinking   Your brain is wired with a negativity bias. It holds onto criticism like Velcro and lets positive moments slide off like Teflon. It also wanders nearly half the time. But Scripture gives us the solution. When we choose to think on what is true, noble, and good, we retrain our mental pathways. By focusing on gratitude, capturing guilt-driven thoughts, and aligning our minds with God's Word, we weaken old patterns and build stronger, healthier ones.   You Can Grow New Brain Cells at Any Age   Science now confirms what Scripture has long implied — renewal is possible. Through neurogenesis, you can grow new brain cells in memory centers like the hippocampus. Capturing thoughts, strengthening focus, and practicing intentional thinking increases gray matter, improves self-control, enhances planning ability, and sharpens attention. You are not stuck with the brain you have today.   Renew Your Mind, Transform Your Life   When you consistently take thoughts captive, you become more comfortable in your own skin. You are no longer driven by fear, anger, or guilt. Instead, you step into clarity, confidence, and peace. This episode reveals how connecting biblical truth with neuroscience creates breakthrough — spiritually, emotionally, and physically. Your transformation begins with a single thought.   ==   Did this episode bless you?   We are grateful for the support of our ministry partners, whose kindness and generosity make teachings like this possible.

I Fixed My Muffins With These Grains — Best Flours for Muffins, Biscuits, and Pancakes   If your muffins turn out dense or your pancakes taste flat, it might not be your recipe — it's your flour. In this episode, Annette reveals the best grains for soft, tender baked goods and which ones to avoid if you want light, flavorful results. You'll learn how choosing the right flour can completely change your baking and your health.   The Secret to Light and Tender Bakes   Annette explains how high-protein bread flours create structure, while low-gluten grains make soft, melt-in-your-mouth textures. She ranks seven top grains — from hard red wheat to spelt, einkorn, emmer, rye, and soft white wheat — and shares which combinations give perfect results for muffins, cookies, biscuits, and pancakes.   Why Freshly Milled Grains Matter   Freshly milled grains retain all the natural oils, vitamins, and minerals that store-bought flour loses. Annette shows how this simple change adds flavor, nutrition, and digestibility to every bake. You'll also hear how ancient grains like spelt, emmer, and einkorn bring warmth, sweetness, and better digestion — while soft white wheat delivers unbeatable tenderness.   Perfect Blends for Every Bake   For the best muffins, Annette suggests combining soft white wheat with spelt or einkorn. For biscuits, 100% soft white wheat gives the perfect flaky texture. And for cookies or pancakes, einkorn adds buttery flavor with a light golden finish. These small adjustments make your baked goods not only delicious but easier to digest and more nourishing for your family.   Bake the Way God Designed   When you return to real, whole grains as God created them, you bring both health and joy back to the kitchen. This episode reminds us that the best food isn't about shortcuts — it's about using the ingredients God made to bless your home with flavor, wellness, and love.   ==   Did this episode bless you?   We are grateful for the support of our ministry partners, whose kindness and generosity make teachings like this possible.

How I Eat Healthy on a Budget — What I Actually Buy at the Grocery Store   Think eating healthy has to be expensive? Think again. In this episode, Annette takes you on a grocery store tour to show exactly how to shop smart, save money, and still fill your cart with nutritious, God-made foods. You'll learn how to make wise choices in every aisle — from produce and protein to pantry staples — all while trusting God to stretch your grocery budget.   Smart Grocery Shopping With God's Wisdom   Annette reminds us that God knows your needs and your budget. When you ask Him for guidance, He can lead you to the right foods and even the best deals. She shares practical tips for shopping the produce section, choosing organic when it matters most, and finding markdowns without sacrificing quality. You'll discover why buying whole foods — like fresh vegetables, beans, rice, and potatoes — gives you more nutrition for less money.   What to Buy (and Avoid) in Every Aisle   Learn how to pick affordable, nutrient-dense options like Yukon and red potatoes, dried beans, and wild-caught fish while skipping overpriced or processed items. Annette also explains how to choose real cheese over pre-shredded, find quality eggs, and compare the value of frozen versus fresh vegetables. In the pantry section, she breaks down which nut butters and rice are worth buying and which labels to avoid — like corn syrup, refined oils, and added sugars.   Faith-Based Stewardship in Everyday Choices   Eating healthy on a budget isn't about cutting corners — it's about stewardship. Annette shows how God's design for food naturally saves money when we return to real, whole ingredients. Whether you're shopping for a family or just starting your health journey, this episode will help you eat well, honor your body, and stay within your means — all through simple biblical wisdom.   ==   Did this episode bless you?   We are grateful for the support of our ministry partners, whose kindness and generosity make teachings like this possible.

I Tested 4 Types of Oats — Which Are Good and Which to Avoid   Oats are one of the most common breakfast foods, but not all oats are created equal. In this episode, Annette reveals what she discovered after testing four popular types of oats — and which one delivers the best nutrition, taste, and digestion. You'll also learn how to choose clean, affordable oats that align with God's design for health.   The Truth About Oats and Nutrition   Oats are packed with B vitamins, vitamin E, magnesium, zinc, and fiber that help lower cholesterol, balance hormones, and reduce stress. But there's one big problem — many oats are sprayed with harmful chemicals like glyphosate and chloroquat. Annette shares how to avoid these toxins by buying unsprayed oat groats and preparing them at home. When eaten as God designed, oats can support gut health, heart function, and even help prevent diabetes and cancer.   The Experiment: 4 Types of Oats Compared   Annette compares old-fashioned rolled oats, steel-cut oats, instant oatmeal packets, and freshly flaked oats made from whole oat groats. Using a simple enzyme test, she demonstrates how freshly flaked oats digest faster, absorb better, and provide more nutrients than processed ones. Store-bought oats, especially flavored packets, remain partly undigested and lose most of their natural oils and vitamin E.   Why Freshly Flaked Oats Are Best   Flaking your own oats at home keeps all the fiber, minerals, and antioxidants intact. It also helps you save money, stretch meals, and store food longer. Freshly flaked oats cook faster, taste better, and are gentle on the digestive system. Annette explains how to use oats in bread, cookies, soups, burgers, granola, and even smoothies to nourish your family affordably and naturally.   Eat the Way God Designed   When you choose foods in their purest form, your body responds with healing and energy. Oats are one of God's good foods — but only when eaten the way He made them. Skip the processed packets and start flaking your own for real nutrition, satisfaction, and stewardship of your health.   ==   Did this episode bless you?   We are grateful for the support of our ministry partners, whose kindness and generosity make teachings like this possible.

The Healing Diet in the Bible — What to Eat and Avoid for Lasting Health   What if the key to health and healing has been in the Bible all along? In this episode, Annette answers questions about what the Bible truly says about food — from the Mediterranean diet and clean eating to whether unclean foods are still unclean today. You'll discover how God's design for eating brings not only physical health but also spiritual peace.   The Three Biblical Nutrition Principles   Annette shares the foundation of a truly biblical diet: eat the foods God called good, eat them as close to His original design as possible, and never let food become an addiction. These three principles form the core of living in alignment with God's design for health. When you follow them, you experience renewed energy, balanced emotions, and a body that heals naturally.   Is the Mediterranean Diet Biblical?   The Mediterranean diet — when done right — closely mirrors the foods of the Bible. Annette explains how it emphasizes olive oil, wild-caught fish rich in omega-3s, greens, legumes, and fruits — all foods God created for nourishment. She also shares a simple prayerful approach to grocery shopping, asking God to guide you toward the best choices within your budget.   What About Wine and Unclean Foods?   The episode dives deep into common questions about whether Christians should drink wine or eat foods the Bible calls unclean. Annette explains that while wine was used in biblical times, moderation and intention matter — it should never become a coping mechanism or source of dependence. As for unclean foods, God's Word hasn't changed; animals that were unclean in the Old Testament remain so today. Modern science even confirms that these foods — like pork and shellfish — cause inflammation and disease when consumed regularly.   God's Recipe for Excellent Health   The foods God designed are life-giving, while man-altered foods cause harm. When you eat the way God intended — whole, fresh, and unprocessed — you experience true healing. This episode is both a spiritual and physical reminder that aligning your meals with His wisdom leads to lasting vitality and peace.   ==   Did this episode bless you?   We are grateful for the support of our ministry partners, whose kindness and generosity make teachings like this possible.

Is Fluoride Bad for You? The Truth About What's in Your Water   Could something in your tap water be silently damaging your health? In this episode, Annette sits down with Dr. David Brownstein to uncover the truth about fluoride — a chemical added to most public water supplies that may be doing more harm than good.   The Hidden Dangers of Fluoride Exposure   Dr. Brownstein explains how fluoride and bromide — two toxic halides — block iodine absorption in the body. Iodine is essential for brain function, thyroid health, fertility, and metabolism. When fluoride replaces iodine in your tissues, it disrupts your hormones, weakens immunity, and can even increase the risk of cancer. Despite this, the U.S. and New Zealand remain among the few countries still adding fluoride to their water — even though no clear evidence shows it prevents tooth decay.   How Fluoride Competes With Iodine   Fluoride is part of the same chemical family as iodine, but it serves no purpose in the human body. There are no fluoride receptors in your cells — only iodine receptors. When fluoride enters your system, it displaces iodine, leading to deficiency symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, thyroid imbalance, and hormonal issues. Dr. Brownstein reveals how increasing iodine intake can help detoxify fluoride and bromide naturally.   Choosing Health and Truth   Fluoridated water means you're being medicated without consent. The best solution is to take back control — use filtered water, avoid fluoridated products, and nourish your body with the nutrients God intended. This episode is a reminder that true health begins when you align with God's wisdom for how your body was created to heal and thrive.   ==   Did this episode bless you?   We are grateful for the support of our ministry partners, whose kindness and generosity make teachings like this possible.

How to Do the 21-Day Daniel Fast — Complete Guide to Spiritual and Physical Renewal   Ready to begin the Daniel Fast but not sure where to start? In this episode, Annette walks you step-by-step through how to do the 21-day Daniel Fast — from what to eat, what to avoid, and how to make it a deeply spiritual experience that brings both physical and emotional transformation.   A Fast That Strengthens Body and Spirit   The Daniel Fast is more than a diet — it's a covenant between you and God. Annette explains how this fast allows you to deepen your faith, hear God's voice more clearly, and break unhealthy food habits. While Daniel's fasts in the Bible varied, the modern 21-day version focuses on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and pure water — foods that nourish your body while keeping your heart focused on prayer and gratitude.   Foods to Eat and Avoid   You'll learn exactly what to include in your Daniel Fast: fresh or frozen fruits and vegetables, legumes like chickpeas and lentils, whole grains such as brown rice or quinoa, nuts and seeds, and healthy oils like olive and coconut. Annette also shares which foods to avoid — processed foods, animal products, refined sugars, and fried foods. She encourages choosing unprocessed ingredients and avoiding canned goods when possible, but reminds listeners not to "let the rules overrule the experience".   Real Results, Real Testimonies   Annette shares a personal story of transformation. Within just one month of following the Daniel Fast, her husband's cholesterol dropped from over 300 to 160, and his triglycerides fell from 900 to 140 — all through fiber-rich, God-made foods. But beyond the physical results, the greatest transformation comes from the spiritual renewal that happens when you seek God through fasting.   God's Recipe for Lasting Health   This episode is a practical and faith-filled guide to doing the Daniel Fast the right way — not as a restriction, but as a restoration. When you align your eating with God's design, you experience more energy, clarity, and peace. Annette reminds listeners that this fast isn't just about food — it's about reconnecting with God, renewing your mind, and living in the fullness of His plan for your health.   ==   Did this episode bless you?   We are grateful for the support of our ministry partners, whose kindness and generosity make teachings like this possible.

Why 97% Are Iodine Deficient — The Simple Fix That Could Save Your Health   Could a single missing nutrient be behind today's rise in thyroid problems, fatigue, infertility, and brain fog? In this episode, Annette sits down with Dr. David Brownstein — one of the world's leading experts on iodine — to uncover the shocking truth about why nearly everyone is deficient and how this simple mineral could transform your health.   The Hidden Epidemic of Iodine Deficiency   Dr. Brownstein explains that over 97% of people tested are deficient in iodine — an essential element required by every cell in the body. The thyroid, breasts, ovaries, and prostate depend on it to function properly. When iodine levels drop, problems like goiter, hypothyroidism, infertility, breast cancer, and even developmental disorders in children can emerge. Yet most doctors rarely test for it or discuss its importance.   Why Modern Life Depletes Iodine   Our iodine levels have been declining for decades due to processed food, soil depletion, and the widespread use of fluoride and bromide — two chemicals that block iodine absorption. Dr. Brownstein reveals how prenatal vitamins often lack enough iodine for expectant mothers, leading to developmental issues in babies, hormonal imbalances, and chronic fatigue later in life. He also discusses the best ways to test for deficiency and when supplementation may be necessary.   How to Restore Balance Naturally   Iodine isn't just about thyroid health — it's about total body wellness. When your body gets enough, energy rises, brain fog lifts, and metabolism normalizes. Dr. Brownstein shares stories of women who reversed infertility, restored thyroid function, and regained their energy simply by correcting iodine deficiency. Through testing, real food, and faith-based care, you can restore your health the way God designed it.   God's Design for Healing   Your body was created with wisdom and purpose. Iodine is one of God's building blocks for vitality and longevity. When you provide your body with the nutrients He intended, you activate its natural ability to heal, thrive, and bring glory to Him.   ==   Did this episode bless you?   We are grateful for the support of our ministry partners, whose kindness and generosity make teachings like this possible.

How to Heal Your Gut Naturally — The Biblical Way   If you've been feeling tired, moody, or constantly craving unhealthy foods, the problem may not be your willpower — it's your gut. In this episode, Annette explains how your digestive system is the foundation of your health, your energy, and even your mood, and how to restore it through God's perfect design.   The Gut-Brain Connection God Designed   Your gut produces 95% of your serotonin — the hormone that helps you feel happy and calm. When it's inflamed or imbalanced, your entire body suffers. Annette reveals how praising God with your voice can actually stimulate the vagus nerve — connecting your brain and gut to promote healing. You'll also learn how fermented foods, raw dairy, bone broth, and fiber-rich vegetables rebuild the gut lining and restore your mood and immune strength.   How Processed Foods Destroy the Gut   Modern "lab foods" — refined grains, seed oils, sugars, and additives — damage the mucosal barrier that protects your gut, allowing toxins to leak into the bloodstream. Annette shows how this leads to brain fog, inflammation, and disease, while real, whole foods repair the gut's protective layers. She also shares the importance of choosing unrefined salt, freshly milled grains, and natural fats to rebuild your cells and support digestion the way God intended.   Healing Starts With Stewardship   Gut healing isn't about perfection — it's about stewardship. When you choose real foods, eat with gratitude, and align your body with God's design, you strengthen your immunity, renew your energy, and heal from the inside out. This episode is a powerful reminder that every meal is an act of worship — and that healing begins when you eat the foods God called good.   ==   Did this episode bless you?   We are grateful for the support of our ministry partners, whose kindness and generosity make teachings like this possible.

How I Reversed Chronic Disease With Biblical Nutrition   Is it really possible to heal chronic illness through faith and food? In this episode, Annette shares her powerful testimony of how trusting God's Word and returning to His original design for eating brought complete healing to her body — lowering cholesterol, reversing inflammation, and restoring energy and peace.   Decide, Discover, and Appreciate God's Way   The first step to healing begins with a decision — to trust God more than modern diet culture. Annette explains how surrendering food addictions, emotional eating, and sugar dependency opened the door for real transformation. By following the three biblical nutrition principles — eat the foods God called good, eat them as close to His design as possible, and never let food become an idol — she discovered lasting restoration in her health and spirit.   From Disease to Healing — God's Design Works   Through the Daniel Fast and a renewed appreciation for God's foods, Annette and her family saw dramatic health changes. Cholesterol dropped from 300 to 140, triglycerides from 900 to 160, and chronic illness disappeared. Each meal became an act of worship — a reminder that God's foods nourish, heal, and sustain us far better than anything man-made.   Healing That Lasts a Lifetime   True health isn't about short-term diets or restriction. It's about daily gratitude for what God provides. When you eat real food with real hunger and real satisfaction, you experience not just physical transformation but spiritual renewal. This episode reminds you that the same God who created your body also designed the foods that heal it.   ==   Did this episode bless you?   We are grateful for the support of our ministry partners, whose kindness and generosity make teachings like this possible.

In this episode, Annette reveals how to stabilize your blood sugar, curb cravings, and boost energy through simple rhythms and foods that align with the Bible diet.   The Truth About Blood Sugar and Energy   When blood sugar is unstable, everything feels off — energy, hormones, sleep, and even mood. Annette explains the difference between starchy and non-starchy vegetables and how their fiber and nutrients affect glucose levels. You'll also learn why the order in which you eat matters, and how fiber and protein first can transform the way your body processes sugar.   The "Fiber First" Framework That Works Like a Miracle   Discover the power of eating fiber before carbs to slow glucose spikes and keep you satisfied longer. Annette shares her "20-ounce vegetable rule" and how colorful vegetables like broccoli, zucchini, spinach, and mushrooms act as God's natural medicine chest. She also explains how spacing meals four hours apart allows insulin levels to reset and hunger cues to return naturally.   Foods That Keep You Stable and Satisfied   From cruciferous vegetables and sweet potatoes to olive oil, avocado, and wild-caught salmon, you'll get a full list of foods that nourish your gut, balance hormones, and calm inflammation. You'll also learn how vinegar, cinnamon, and fermented foods can reduce sugar spikes and improve metabolism — all while keeping meals flavorful and satisfying.   Healing Through God's Design   Blood sugar balance isn't about restriction — it's about rhythm. When you eat the way God designed — real food, mindful portions, and gratitude — your body finds peace.

How to Improve Your Health and Body in 2026 — Without Burnout   If you've tried to change your body before and always ended up exhausted or discouraged, this episode will give you a better way. Annette shares five simple biblical steps to transform your body and your health — not through diets or deprivation, but through God's lasting design for physical and spiritual renewal.   Reclaim Your Health by Returning to God's Truth   Your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, and caring for it begins with understanding what's real — real love, real food, real hunger, real satisfaction, and real commitment. Annette explains how these five principles help you break emotional eating, find peace with food, and finally feel confident in your body again. It's not about perfection; it's about progress that honors God.   Why Diets Fail but God's Design Works   When you rely on willpower alone, you burn out. But when you align with God's plan, transformation becomes sustainable. By eating real foods, listening to your hunger cues, and stopping when satisfied, your body naturally returns to balance. Annette shares how these simple shifts helped her overcome years of obesity and self-doubt while restoring her joy and energy.   A Commitment That Lasts Beyond the New Year   This isn't a short-term challenge — it's a lifelong partnership with God. When you make your health part of your mission, you gain the energy and focus to live fully and share the gospel with others. This episode is your invitation to make 2026 the year you strengthen your body, renew your mind, and live with purpose — without burnout.   ==   Did this episode bless you?   We are grateful for the support of our ministry partners, whose kindness and generosity make teachings like this possible.

How I Stopped Getting Sick — Strengthen Your Gut and Immune System God's Way   Ever wondered why some people rarely get sick while others catch every cold? In this episode, Annette reveals how healing your gut can completely change your health, reduce inflammation, and strengthen your immune system — all by following God's original design for the body.   Why Gut Health Is the Foundation of Healing   The gut is where your health story begins. Annette explains how your digestive system acts as the first line of defense against toxins, microplastics, and processed foods. When your gut lining weakens, inflammation spreads throughout your body — affecting your mood, hormones, and immune system. But the good news is your body was created by God to heal. Through simple dietary changes and natural supplements like beta glucan, you can rebuild your gut barrier and restore your body's resilience.   The Role of Beta Glucan and the Bible Diet   You'll learn how God's foods — vegetables, whole grains, and clean proteins — nourish your gut while beta glucan works as a natural immune trainer. It strengthens the gut wall, reduces inflammation, balances hormones, and helps your body detox from microplastics and harmful chemicals. Annette also shares how this biblical approach helped her and her clients overcome cravings, fatigue, mood swings, and frequent illness.   God's Blueprint for Lasting Health   Your immune system doesn't need to be overstimulated — it needs to be trained. When you feed your body what God designed, your gut, liver, and hormones all work in harmony. Annette shows how healing from the inside out leads to energy, clarity, and peace. You'll walk away with hope and practical steps to protect your health and live fully in alignment with God's plan.   ==   Did this episode bless you?   We are grateful for the support of our ministry partners, whose kindness and generosity make teachings like this possible.

How to Get Rid of Visceral Fat Naturally — God's Way to Heal Your Liver and Body   There's a kind of fat you can't see in the mirror — and it's the most dangerous. In this episode, you'll learn how to reduce visceral fat, heal your liver, and protect your body from disease through simple biblical nutrition principles that bring lasting balance and energy.   Understanding Visceral Fat and Liver Health   Visceral fat surrounds your organs and is closely linked to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). When left unchecked, it can cause inflammation, insulin resistance, and hormone imbalance, leading to diabetes and heart disease. You'll discover how your liver can heal when nourished the way God designed — through whole, natural foods and mindful daily habits.   The Biblical Path to Healing   Annette shares how returning to God's design can reverse fatty liver and melt visceral fat. Eating real, unprocessed foods, staying hydrated, and letting go of sugar and refined carbs all work together to help your liver detox naturally. She also highlights liver-healing foods like cruciferous vegetables, leafy greens, garlic, onions, olive oil, and wild-caught fish.   Healing Through God's Blueprint   Your body was created to heal. When you eat, rest, and live in alignment with God's design, inflammation fades, your liver regenerates, and visceral fat begins to melt away. This episode offers practical steps and faith-based encouragement to help you experience renewed energy, better digestion, and a stronger body from the inside out.   ==   Did this episode bless you?   We are grateful for the support of our ministry partners, whose kindness and generosity make teachings like this possible.

Stop Buying Bread — Eat This Instead! Discover the Power of Real, Freshly Milled Grains   Does bread make you tired, bloated, or achy? It's not the wheat God created that's the problem — it's what man did to it. In this episode, you'll learn how real, freshly milled grains can transform your health, boost digestion, and even improve thyroid function when eaten the way God designed.   The Truth About Modern Bread   Today's bread has been stripped of its nutrients, bleached, and filled with preservatives to last months on a shelf. This processing removes 90% of the vitamins, minerals, and enzymes your body needs, leaving behind a dead product that causes inflammation, fatigue, and cravings. Annette explains how milling your own grains restores the fiber, antioxidants, and oils that keep your body strong, energized, and balanced.   The Science Behind Whole Grains   Whole grains contain three vital parts — the bran, germ, and endosperm — each packed with health-promoting nutrients. Harvard research confirms that eating whole grains reduces heart disease by 30%, type 2 diabetes by 30%, and cancer risk by 21%. You'll also learn how freshly milled grains feed your gut microbiome, lower cholesterol, and help stabilize blood sugar — benefits lost in processed flour.   How to Start Baking Real Bread at Home   Annette walks you through how to begin: buy organic wheat berries, invest in a simple grain mill, and start baking fresh bread, pancakes, or muffins within minutes. You'll even find free lessons, recipes, and resources at biblicalnutritionist.com/bread to guide you every step of the way.   Bread the Way God Designed It   Bread was meant to be a symbol of life, not disease. When you return to the foods God called good — whole grains, pure ingredients, and natural preparation — you experience real energy, better digestion, and peace in your body. This episode is a reminder that true nourishment begins when we return to God's design.   ==   Did this episode bless you?   We are grateful for the support of our ministry partners, whose kindness and generosity make teachings like this possible.

You'll learn how to make simple fermented vegetables at home and discover how these God-given foods can heal your gut, strengthen your immune system, and restore balance to your body.   The Power of Fermentation for Healing   Annette shares how fermented foods have helped people reverse long-term issues like asthma and gut inflammation. By introducing healthy bacteria through fermented carrots, cucumbers, and cabbage, you can calm the digestive system, fight inflammation, and support your immune defenses. You'll also hear Craig's testimony — a story of healing from asthma and allergies through daily use of fermented vegetables and kombucha.   Simple Steps to Make Fermented Vegetables at Home   With only a few ingredients — filtered water, natural salt, and raw vegetables — you can create your own gut-healing foods in just a few days. Annette explains how to make a brine using Redmond's Real Salt, pack your jars with vegetables, and ferment them safely on your counter. Within 4 to 14 days, you'll have a living food full of probiotics and enzymes that promote healing.   Healing the Body Starts With Healing the Gut   Every part of your health — hormones, fertility, mood, and even your immune system — is connected to gut health. When you nourish your gut with fermented foods, you help your entire body thrive. This episode reminds us that God's design for healing begins with simple, living foods that bring life to your body and glory to Him.   ==   Did this episode bless you?   We are grateful for the support of our ministry partners, whose kindness and generosity make teachings like this possible.

Swiss chard may be one of the most overlooked superfoods in the produce aisle — yet it's loaded with nutrients that support heart health, balance blood sugar, and fight inflammation. In this episode, you'll learn how to prepare Swiss chard the simple way while understanding why it's one of God's most healing foods.   Why Swiss Chard Deserves a Spot on Your Table   Swiss chard belongs to the beet family and is one of the most nutrient-dense vegetables you can eat. It's rich in magnesium, potassium, and antioxidants that protect your heart, liver, and immune system. You'll also discover how it helps regulate blood clotting naturally and provides anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory benefits — all while being easy to grow and beautiful to serve.   A Quick Garlic Butter Sauté You'll Love   Annette walks you through her quick and easy Swiss chard recipe — sautéed in butter and garlic, then topped with Parmesan cheese. It's ready in minutes and pairs perfectly with scrambled eggs, pasta, or salads.

How to Reduce Inflammation Naturally — The Biblical Anti-Inflammatory Plan   Do you feel achy, bloated, or tired without knowing why? In this episode, you'll learn how to identify silent inflammation in your body, what key blood markers reveal it, and how to reverse it naturally using God's healing foods.   What Your Blood Work Reveals About Inflammation   Annette explains the five key blood tests that uncover inflammation before symptoms appear — CRP, ESR, ferritin, LDL oxidation, and homocysteine. You'll discover what healthy numbers should look like, how to track them, and why fasting before bloodwork is essential for accuracy. These tests can show early signs of inflammation, heart disease risk, and nutrient deficiencies like low B vitamins or excess iron.   The Foods That Heal vs. The Foods That Harm   Healing begins with what's on your fork. Annette shares the best anti-inflammatory foods — cruciferous vegetables, fresh greens, parsley, lentils, freshly milled grains, nuts, seeds, and wild-caught salmon — and why they calm inflammation and restore balance. She also lists the top seven foods that fuel inflammation: added sugars, refined carbs, processed meats, fried foods, seed oils, alcohol, and ultra-processed snacks. Every bite either feeds healing or fuels disease.   God's Design for Lasting Health   Inflammation doesn't happen overnight — and neither does healing. When you eat the foods God called good, your body begins to restore itself from the inside out. This episode is a powerful reminder that your daily choices matter and that lasting health comes from aligning your habits with God's design.   ==   Did this episode bless you?   We are grateful for the support of our ministry partners, whose kindness and generosity make teachings like this possible.
