Are you ready to take control of your health through gardening? In this episode of The Biblical Nutritionist Podcast, discover how to grow your own healing foods—no matter how small your space—while aligning with God’s principles for health and abundance. Why Gardening is Essential for Your Health and Faith From the Garden of Eden to our modern backyards, God’s provision of plants has always been a gift for our nourishment and healing. Gardening reconnects us with His design for our well-being, empowering us to grow fresh, healthy food and practice stewardship over His creation. Key Steps to Start Your Biblical Healing Garden 1. Indoor Gardening: Starting Small but Meaningful Grow herbs like parsley, cilantro, and rosemary on a windowsill or countertop. Even small spaces can yield powerful plants for your health, such as sweet potatoes in buckets or sprouts in jars. Tip: Use recycled containers to save money and be resourceful! 2. Outdoor Gardening: Maximizing Limited Space Utilize raised beds, pots, or patio spaces to grow vegetables, fruits, and herbs. Examples: Plant blueberries or rosemary in your landscaping or use discarded pots to grow potatoes. Focus on perennial plants like oregano and spinach for year-round harvests. 3. Planning with Purpose Use the off-season (December–February) to map out your garden and order seeds. Choose crops that align with your health goals and rotate them annually to maintain soil health. Consider tools like Clyde’s Garden Planner for optimal planting times in your region. Additional Tips for a Thriving Garden Stay Simple: Start with easy-to-grow plants and expand as you gain confidence. Share the Harvest: Bless others by sharing your bounty, embodying generosity and community. Trust in God’s Design: Even if your first attempt isn’t perfect, remember that gardening is a journey of learning and faith. Closing and Encouragement Your garden is more than a source of food—it’s a connection to God’s abundant provision and a testament to His care for our well-being. Whether you’re starting with a small herb pot or planning a backyard oasis, every step you take strengthens your health, faith, and stewardship. Start today, plant with purpose, and watch God’s blessings grow in your life. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Did this episode bless you? We are grateful for the support of our ministry partners, whose kindness and generosity make teachings like this possible.

Microplastics are everywhere—in the air we breathe, the water we drink, and even the food we eat. These tiny particles are infiltrating our bodies and causing harm in ways you might not expect. In this episode of The Biblical Nutritionist Podcast, we explore how microplastics affect your health, where they come from, and actionable steps to reduce your exposure. How Microplastics Enter Your Body Plastics are an unavoidable part of modern life, but they often break down into microplastics that contaminate: Water: Found in 94% of U.S. municipal water systems. Food: Through storage containers, packaging, and even the utensils we use. Air: Tiny plastic particles float in the air we breathe daily. The Shocking Health Risks of Microplastics Hormone Disruption: Chemicals in plastics, like BPA, mimic hormones and disrupt the endocrine system. Immune System Damage: Microplastics can trigger inflammation and impair your immune response. Developmental Concerns: Infants and children are especially vulnerable to the harmful effects of plastics. Chronic Diseases: Prolonged exposure is linked to increased risks of cancer, cardiovascular issues, and neurological disorders. Common Sources of Plastic Exposure Plastic Water Bottles: Chemicals leach into water, especially when exposed to heat. Coffee Cup Lids: Hot liquids can cause plastics to release harmful particles. Tea Bags: Many contain microplastics that seep into your tea. Food Storage Containers: Plastic containers can leach chemicals into food, especially when microwaved. Baby Bottles and Toys: Plastics in children’s products can pose significant risks. Plastic Cutting Boards: Tiny particles can transfer into food during meal prep. Practical Tips to Reduce Microplastic Exposure Switch to Glass or Stainless Steel: Use glass bottles, jars, and food storage containers. Choose Bamboo or Wooden Utensils: Replace plastic cutting boards and utensils with safer alternatives. Filter Your Water: Install a high-quality water filtration system. Opt for Plastic-Free Tea Bags: Look for brands that use biodegradable materials. Avoid Heating Plastic: Never microwave food in plastic containers or leave water bottles in the sun. Key Takeaway While microplastics are pervasive, you can take steps to minimize exposure and protect your health. By choosing safer alternatives and being mindful of plastic use, you can reduce the risks and safeguard your family’s well-being. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Did this episode bless you? We are grateful for the support of our ministry partners, whose kindness and generosity make teachings like this possible.

As we approach the end of the year and prepare for a new one, I want to share with you a powerful way to start the year with God—the Lord’s Supper. This is a meaningful tradition that allows us to reflect on God’s blessings, acknowledge His presence in our lives, and usher in the new year with faith and gratitude. How To Start The New Year With God: As we reflect on how we’re ending the current year and preparing for the new one, it’s essential to center ourselves on the Lord. Have you experienced challenges or health issues this year? Or have you seen many blessings? No matter how the year has unfolded, I encourage you to take time to honor God and His faithfulness. How To Do The Lord's Supper For The New Year: I recommend having the Lord’s Supper as a way of closing this year and entering the next with reverence and thanksgiving. You can choose to take it at midnight, covering both the old year and the new one, or you can have it late on New Year’s Eve and again for breakfast on New Year’s Day. It’s about what feels right for you and your relationship with the Lord. During your time of communion, meditate on the verses Jesus shared with His disciples at the Last Supper. Consider your anchor verse from this past year, and reflect on what your anchor verse will be for the coming year. These verses will help keep you centered and focused on what matters most in life. Start your new year with a renewed sense of God’s presence and blessings through the Lord’s Supper. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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, I’m sharing the little-known reasons why Christians should celebrate Hanukkah and how this biblical feast connects to our faith today. Discover the powerful history of Hanukkah, the lessons we can learn from it, and why it’s a time of cleansing, renewal, and celebration of God’s faithfulness. Why We Should Celebrate Hanukkah As Christians: A Story of God’s Faithfulness Hanukkah recounts a time when God worked mightily during a perilous period in Jewish history. Under the reign of Alexander the Great, Jews were pressured to abandon their faith in exchange for Hellenistic traditions. Despite the challenges, God preserved His people, and this story serves as a reminder of His enduring love and power to turn the tide even in the darkest of times. This truth still applies to our lives today—God is just as involved in our lives now as He was in the lives of His people then. Jesus Celebrated Hanukkah Jesus Himself celebrated Hanukkah, making it a meaningful observance for Christians. Hanukkah offers us a time to reflect on our own faith, teaching the next generation to trust in God and look for His presence in our lives. It’s a wonderful opportunity for children, even from a young age, to understand the importance of faith, fasting, and fasting practices. A Time of Cleansing and Purifying Hanukkah is also a time to cleanse and purify our homes and hearts. It’s a reminder to remove distractions and worldly influences from our lives, similar to how we prepare spiritually for the Christmas season. In this episode, I share how we can use this time to refocus on God, strengthen our faith, and purify our celebrations. How to Celebrate Hanukkah as a Christian: Start by deciding if you want to celebrate Hanukkah, whether it’s for one night or all eight. Make a festive meal, create your own customs, and dedicate the night to the Lord. Remember that our focus is on Yeshua, our deliverer, who is the ultimate reason for celebration. Hanukkah is a time to honor God’s deliverance, both for the Israelites and for us today. Join me in this meaningful exploration of Hanukkah and discover why this biblical feast is a blessing for Christians to celebrate! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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 today’s episode, we explore how to eat according to the Bible by focusing on the foods that Jesus ate and how we can apply these principles to our own diets today. Discover the health benefits of following a biblical diet and why eating real, God-given food is key to improving our health and well-being. Here’s how to get started: Step 1 – Eat Real Food God created food and called it "good" (Genesis 1-2). This means that the foods God designed are excellent and valuable. Anything man-made or disguised as food can't compare to the nutrition and healing properties of God-given food. By eating real food – whole foods without chemicals or additives – you reduce inflammation and prevent digestive issues, which can lead to diabetes and hormonal challenges. If you eat meat, look for farm-raised animals following biblical principles. If you’re plant-based, trust that God will guide you to the highest quality options. Step 2 – Eat According to God’s Signals Our bodies are designed to eat when truly hungry and stop when satisfied. When we consume real food, our natural hunger cues are restored, helping balance the hormones Leptin and Ghrelin. With processed foods, these signals are silenced, leading to overeating and weight gain. Learning to listen to our bodies is an essential part of aligning our eating habits with biblical principles. Step 3 – Learn to Fast Between Meals and Overnight Fasting allows the body to heal, process digestion, and rejuvenate. Taking breaks between meals, even for just 4 hours, activates autophagy, a process that burns dead cells and promotes healthy regeneration. Fasting overnight for 12 hours helps improve brain, liver, and hormone function. By fasting, we take control of our eating habits and let our bodies do the healing work they were designed for. Join me in learning how the foods Jesus ate and the biblical approach to eating can lead to better health and a deeper connection with God’s creation.

Are whole grains bad for you? In this episode of The Biblical Nutritionist Podcast, we’ll uncover the truth about grains, their role in your health, and the transformative benefits of eating whole grains daily. The Truth About Grains The Bible emphasizes grains as a cornerstone of sustenance, but modern health trends often question their value. Let’s explore the difference between whole grains and their processed counterparts. What Happens When You Eat Whole Grains Everyday?

Boost Digestive Health: Packed with fiber, they aid digestion and support a healthy metabolism.

These practices enhance nutrient absorption and reflect God’s design for food to nourish us. Debunking Myths: Are Grains Fattening? Annette addresses misconceptions about grains and weight gain, emphasizing that it’s the processing—adding sugars and stripping nutrients—that leads to health problems, not the grains themselves.

Her testimony illustrates how aligning our diet with biblical wisdom can lead to lasting health benefits. Practical Tips for Eating Whole Grains Soak or Sprout Grains: These methods enhance digestibility and nutrient availability.

Why Modern Food Is Killing Us | Our Food Has Changed (And What To Do) This episode of The Biblical Nutritionist Podcast will open your eyes to how drastically our food has changed—and what you can do to reclaim your health. Let’s dive into the difference between the wholesome foods God created and the processed, nutrient-deficient options dominating modern diets. How Modern Food Differs from Biblical Nutrition In Genesis, God called seed-bearing plants and clean meats “good,” providing us with balanced, natural sources of nourishment. Fast forward to today, and much of what we consume barely resembles those original foods. Modern food has been: Highly Processed: Stripped of nutrients and filled with additives that harm our bodies. Genetically Modified: Altered in ways that disconnect us from the natural balance God designed. Over-Refined: Grains lose fiber, minerals, and vitamins, resulting in empty calories. What the Bible and Science Say About Healthy Eating Dr. Rex Russell’s three principles for eating biblically sound foods can help us cut through dietary confusion: 1. Eat What God Called Good: Focus on whole, unprocessed foods like fruits, vegetables, grains, and clean meats. 2. Consume Foods in Their Natural State: Avoid over-refining or over-processing. 3. Avoid Food Idolatry: Don’t let cravings or diet trends dominate your choices.   Modern science supports these principles. Research shows that nutrient-dense, whole foods improve digestion, immunity, and mental health, while processed foods contribute to inflammation, obesity, and chronic illness. What You Can Do to Protect Your Health 1. Go Back to Basics: Choose foods as close to their natural form as possible. Replace store-bought bread with fresh-milled flour or whole grains. 2. Learn Proper Preparation: Soak beans, sprout grains, and eat foods in traditional ways that minimize harmful compounds like lectins or phytic acid. 3. Avoid Additives and Preservatives: Read labels and prioritize foods free of artificial ingredients.   By aligning your diet with God’s design, you can nourish your body and soul while avoiding the pitfalls of modern food.   ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Did this episode bless you? We are grateful for the support of our ministry partners, whose kindness and generosity make teachings like this possible.
