The Jordan Rubin Show

Chrissy Evans believed losing weight would finally fix what was "wrong" with her.At more than 270 pounds, she was struggling with fibromyalgia, chronic back pain, depression, binge eating, and subclinical hypothyroidism. After years of struggling with her weight, she even borrowed money for weight-loss surgery, only to find ways to eat around the procedure and eventually stall her progress.Chrissy ultimately did lose 150 pounds. But reaching her goal weight revealed something she never expected: changing her body hadn't healed the pain underneath her relationship with food.In this episode of The Jordan Rubin Show, Jordan and Chrissy explore the physical, emotional, and spiritual sides of lasting weight loss. Chrissy shares how developing a genuine relationship with Christ transformed her identity, how she stopped tying her worth to her appearance, and how she learned to care for her body from a place of stewardship rather than shame. They also discuss the nutrition strategies that helped Chrissy maintain her 150-pound weight loss for more than eight years.Subscribe and turn on notifications so you never miss a new episode, free protocol, or biblical health resource from The Jordan Rubin Show.Subscribe to our FREE Biblical Health Journal: https://www.jordanrubin.com/About Chrissy Evans:Chrissy Evans is a biblical weight-loss coach, CEO, and founder of Weight Loss Hero who has coached more than 11,000 women in 76 countries.At her heaviest, Chrissy weighed more than 270 pounds while struggling with fibromyalgia, chronic back pain, clinical depression, and an undiagnosed binge eating disorder.

Addiction doesn’t always disappear when you remove the substance. Sometimes, it finds somewhere else to go.Grammy-nominated producer, songwriter, and We The Kingdom founding member Ed Cash knows this firsthand. After years of drug and alcohol addiction, multiple treatment centers, and time in jail, Ed got sober at just 19 years old. But as his life began to change, he eventually found himself struggling with another form of addiction: food.At one point, Ed was roughly 90 pounds overweight. His physical health began to change when he discovered Jordan Rubin’s The Maker’s Diet and followed its 40-day, three-phase approach, eventually losing the excess weight and maintaining that transformation for decades.In this episode of The Jordan Rubin Show, Jordan and Ed explore the deeper story behind his recovery—from addiction, anxiety, and food to identity, forgiveness, faith, and learning to stop living for the approval of others. Ed also shares the remarkable story of surrendering music after getting sober, and how God eventually restored the very calling he thought he had lost.Watch through to the end for the complete Addiction & Metabolic Health Support Protocol, including principles from The Maker’s Diet for addressing insulin, infection, and inflammation, supporting the gut, improving metabolic health, and doing the inner work that can help break addictive patterns.__________________Subscribe and turn on notifications so you never miss a new episode, free protocol, or biblical health resource from The Jordan Rubin Show.Subscribe to our FREE Biblical Health Journal: https://www.jordanrubin.com/__________________About Ed Cash:Ed Cash is a Grammy-nominated producer, songwriter, and founding member of the two-time Grammy-nominated band We The Kingdom, known for producing Chris Tomlin's "How Great Is Our God" and helping We The Kingdom reach over a billion cumulative streams.His success followed a hard road: severe teenage addiction, five treatment centers, and jail time before getting sober at 19 in 1991. He then walked away from music for two years, believing it had fed his destructive path. Sobriety opened a longer healing journey — battling anxiety, trading substances for food addiction, recognizing work addiction, losing roughly 90 pounds, and rebuilding his relationship with music, identity, and faith.In 2024, Ed marked 33 years of sobriety by returning to Minneapolis, where he first got sober, to record We The Kingdom's live EP 33 on the exact anniversary. His story shows recovery as more than giving something up — it's a rebuilding of health, identity, faith, and calling.__________________Connect with Ed Cash:Website: https://edcash.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/edcashstudio/?hl=enYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWYV7-vyh1NkvXB4LWd3OLw__________________Thank You to Our PartnersHealing Leaves — If you want to try Healing Leaves tea yourself, go to www.healingleaves.com/jrmedia and enter the code JORDAN20 for 20% off a one-time order.The Biblical Health Journal — If you want trustworthy, biblical health wisdom delivered directly to your inbox, go to https://www.jordanrubin.com/ and subscribe for free.__________________Watch or listen to The Jordan Rubin Show every other Thursday at 12:00 PM CT.YouTube: The Jordan Rubin ShowSpotify: The Jordan Rubin ShowApple Podcasts: The Jordan Rubin Show__________________Connect with Jordan RubinWebsite: jordanrubin.comInstagram: @jordansrubinFacebook: @Jordan-RubinX: @realjordanrubinLinkedIn:@jordanrubin__________________Medical Disclaimer: This podcast is for informational and educational purposes only and is not intended as medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
