The Ellen Fisher Podcast

Kam Waters, co-creator of the documentary film soon to be released, Christspiracy, sits down with Tony Jones from The Reverend Hunter Podcast to debate if Jesus was actually a vegan. The Film “Christspiracy” documents Kam’s personal quest, as a lover of Christ, across the globe to answer the question “is there a spiritual way to kill an animal?” interviewing theologians, archeologists, Christian farmers and more. Kam grew up in the Bible Belt, was born and raised in the Christian church, and began questioning his traditions’ position on animal ethics when he realized there was more to the story than he had been told. Tony Jones is a writer, theologian, outdoorsman, and passionate hunter who believes the lack of people currently killing and butchering their own animals for food “is one of the most primal aspects of religion that has been lost.” He’s written many books including his latest “The God of Wild Places: Rediscovering the Divine in the Untamed Outdoors.” He teaches at Fuller Theological Seminary and lives in Minnesota with his wife, kids, and dog. Both of these men are passionate about their cause.  Kam and the Christspiracy team are shaking up the common narrative, but Tony comes in sharing where he thinks they go wrong. Did God put animals on this earth for us to eat and use how we see fit? What does “dominion over the animals” really mean? And what does it mean on a broader scale if Jesus really did advocate for compassion for animals? Or is eating animals without boundaries, a God - given right that is good?

Today, we delve into the heart of parenting exploring two diverse parenting philosophies amidst what can be a contentious and emotional topic. With so much confusion on the best way to raise our children well, I brought together two passionate and expert voices in the parenting sphere to help clear the mud. Dr. Laura Markham is a clinical psychologist, mother, and advocate for Peaceful Parenting who inspires parents with practical information to choose connection and coaching over punishment and control. Abbie from “M is for Mama,” is a wife, mother of ten, and Bible-believing Christian, with 10 years of experience teaching high school Spanish, English, and ESL, who encourages parents to embrace the challenge of biblical motherhood and raise their children with love and wisdom. Together, we'll explore the nuances, challenges, and joys of parenting through differing lenses, aiming to find common ground and understanding of one another.  Check out their books: Dr. Laura Markham: “Peaceful Parent, Happy Kids” and “Peaceful Parent Happy Siblings.” Abbie Halberstadt: “M is for Mama” and “Hard is not the same thing as Bad”  WHERE TO FIND ABBIE Website:https://misformama.net/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/m.is.for.mama/ WHERE TO FIND LAURA Website: https://www.peacefulparenthappykids.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/peacefulparenthappykids/ SPONSORS: OSEA: get 10% off with the code ELLEN_10 https://oseamalibu.com/?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=influencer&utm_campaign=062024_EVG_ELLENFISHER Open: get 30 days free here:  https://withopen.com/ELLEN Act+Acre: get 20% off your order with the code ELLEN20 https://actandacre.com/ Indigo Luna:get 10% off with the code ELLENLOVE  https://indigoluna.store/?ref=cnm02is64hpyhR WHERE TO FIND ME  Get The Empowered Pregnancy & Birth course: https://go.theempoweredbirth.com/ellen Get my ebooks: https://www.ellenfisher.com/ebooks My instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ellenfisher/  LISTEN to these episodes on Apple Podcast or Spotify: https://link.chtbl.com/ellenfisherpod Elevate your videos with record-label quality music from Musicbed: http://share.mscbd.fm/ellenfisher

Arden Young, is an undercover investigative journalist from Sound Investigations. Her undercover work exposes PornHub executives admitting that they knowingly profit off of the sexual exploitation of minors AND that they knowingly allow content of rape and sexual abuse content on their site because of an ID loophole. Benjamin Nolot is the CEO and founder of Exodus Cry, a non profit that fights sex trafficking, and all forms of commercial sexual exploitation. He is committed to shifting cultural mindsets and laws that protect children from porn exposure and abolishes commercial sexual exploitation. He has been a featured speaker at the United Nations and is an award-winning filmmaker. Benjamin’s book Raised on Porn is a must read. In this conversation they expose the heart of today’s destructive porn industry, the human trafficking and sexual abuse content inevitably intertwined within it, and how porn is currently shaping an entire generation of young people. We cover the addictive nature of porn and how it is affecting our relationships in real life, what’s different about porn today versus when our grandparents were young, how children younger and younger are first getting access to porn, why PornHub execs should be in prison, and so much more. This was an INTENSE episode, and I hope you choose to listen to this important conversation for the overall NEED of awareness in this dire situation. **DISCLAIMER: please consider your mental state before consuming, as we talk about graphic and abusive content related to the porn industry.** WHERE TO FIND ARDEN Website: https://soundinvestigations.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/arden_young_ WHERE TO FIND BENJAMIN Website: https://www.exoduscry.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/benjinolot The Exodus Cry Podcast: https://www.exoduscry.com/podcast/ SPONSORS: OPEN APP: Get 30 DAYS FREE at https://www.withopen.com/ellen Pique: Get 15% off + free frother at https://piquelife.com/ellenf  OSEA: enter the code  FISHER_10 for 10% off your order: https://oseamalibu.com/?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=influencer&utm_campaign=062024_EVG_ELLENFISHER WHERE TO FIND ME  Get The Empowered Pregnancy & Birth course: https://go.theempoweredbirth.com/ellen Get my ebooks: https://www.ellenfisher.com/ebooks My instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ellenfisher/ LISTEN to these episodes on Apple Podcast or Spotify: https://link.chtbl.com/ellenfisherpod Elevate your videos with record-label quality music from Musicbed: https://share.mscbd.fm/ellenfisher

Few topics are more hotly debated than nutrition. With contradictory messaging abundant, it can be difficult to discern credible health advice and navigate which dietary patterns are optimal for our health and longevity.  Simon Hill, nutritionist and host of The Proof Podcast, cuts through the noise and breaks down today’s most popular diets and trends. Simon has a healthy obsession with nutritional science and uses reliable science-based information to form his dietary thesis philosophy. He focuses on nuanced, evidence-based research instead of biased black and white thinking. While science is not perfect, we do have clear biomarkers for longevity and preventing our #1 killers, and this episode goes into how these trends stack up against those markers. With so many experts letting their biases get in the way to form nutritional recommendations, Simon is the nutrition resource we need right now. In this episode we cover:  Popular diets: Paleo, Carnivore, Vegan, Keto, Plant Paradox, & Nourishing Traditions What “ancestral diets” get right and wrong Saturated fat vs. PUFAS Popular Trends: Butter, Bone Broth, anti-nutrients, seed oils, etc Eating to survive vs. eating for longevity  Why what’s “natural” isn’t necessarily what’s best for long term health Simon's resources in YouTube description box HERE Sponsor: Anima Mundi Herbals | enter the code ELLEN20 for 20% off everything at https://glnk.io/nr9jm/ellenfisher WHERE TO FIND SIMON Website Instagram Podcast Youtube WHERE TO FIND ME Birth Course Recipe ebooks Instagram Watch the Podcast

In this fiery conversation with my husband and friends Amelia and Matt, we discuss and debate the meaning and value of sex, marriage, and monogamous vs. polyamorous relationships.  Amelia and Matt recently celebrated their love in a non traditional marriage ceremony after dating for 5 years. They practice consensual non monogamy and value freedom, self expression and evolution as the foundation of their relationship. They share polar opposite life experiences to me and my husband Andrew, who have only ever been with each other intimately and waited until we were married to have sex. We’ve been together for over 20 years, started dating when we were 15 and 16 years old and our marriage vows are based in a life long commitment of growth and unconditional love, through the easy times and the hard times. We get into our differing perspectives on love and if having multiple sexual partners (either at the same time or throughout our lives) is best for society, raising children, and ourselves as individuals.  Sponsors: Branch Basics | Get 15% off all Starter Kits (except the Trial Kit) ⁠⁠https://links.branchbasics.com/ellen15 Anima Mundi Herbals: enter the code ELLEN20 for 20% off everything at https://glnk.io/nr9jm/ellenfisher We discuss topics such as: problems within monogamy vs polyamory for relationships, children, and society  The purpose and meaning of sex - is it sacred, solely for pleasure, etc?

As a new mother, we want to give our baby the best nutrition and care. It is of our highest priority, and feeling empowered with nutritional information and support is so crucial to helping mom’s feel confident during the postpartum phase. In this follow up episode with two dietitians Whitney and Alex from Plant Based Juniors, we sit down to discuss postpartum care, optimal nutrition for mothers, and a dive into starting baby on solid foods.  I loved this conversation about the messy yet beautiful journey of the postpartum experience, and value all the information and expertise Whitney and Alex share. Both mothers to predominantly plant-based children themselves, Plant Based Juniors was created because they saw a need for easy-to-access information on evidence-based nutrition for pregnancy and kids. They’ve since helped families all around the world feel confident and empowered in nourishing their families with plants as the primary focus. In this episode we cover tips for successful breastfeeding, what the science says about raising children plant-based, baby led weaning, and much much more! I hope you enjoy today’s episode.

I sit down with Dr. Klaper, an internationally recognized teacher, speaker, and gifted medical practitioner who’s been helping patients reverse chronic illness with plant-based nutrition and integrative medicine for the last 40 years. In this episode we hone in on optimal nutrition to prevent America’s biggest killers - heart disease and diet-related cancers.  We know that dietary patterns are a key component to preventing and even reversing many common diseases that are prevalent here in the US. Yet this education is still rarely taught to our medical students, emphasized in the medical course curriculum, or even discussed in the general population. Dr. Klaper and I also discuss how to build a nutritious plate with plant-forward nutrition and what specific foods help protect you against these diseases.

Birth is one of the most sacred and important experiences in a mother’s life and every woman has the right to true informed consent and refusal in the birthing process. Too often women are not given all their options with unbiased information but are instead coerced into decisions that benefit the doctor’s convenience, our broken medical system, and their pockets.  Dr Stuart Fischbein, a rare gem in the world of physicians. packs this episode with information on making informed choices and ensuring bodily autonomy in the birthing process. He’s a practicing obstetrician since 1986 who supports VBAC and specializes in community based natural breech & twin birthing and is a strong believer in the midwifery model of care.
