For the first time ever, we recorded with the team in person—from our Leadership Retreat in Colorado Springs! Join us (plus Sam, Amber, Jill, Tracy, Kelsey, and Lauren) for a cozy, honest roundtable. We talk about the moment each of us got brave, how community breaks shame, and the surprising ways love, joy, and peace grow when alcohol isn’t running the show. Whether you’re just getting curious or already walking your own alcohol exodus, this one’s rich with real-life stories, practical shifts, and Scripture-rooted encouragement.

Standing for your convictions without losing a relationship, plus hope for alcohol addiction, and should non-drinkers only date other non-drinkers? Featured musical artist: About a Mile Roundtable: When Friendship Tests Your Faith As Christians, we’re called to be lights in a dark world. But when you have to stand up for truth among friends and colleagues who challenge your beliefs, how do you stay strong? What’s the motivation and means of making and growing friendships with those who are apathetic or hostile to biblical truth about life, sexuality — even the gospel itself? Guests Glenn and Kat have found a way to keep their faith front and center in friendships with non-Christians. You’re guaranteed to find their stories inspiring and challenging as you ponder how to love God and love others without selling out. Send Us Your Show Ideas Leave Us a Voicemail Watch This Segment on YouTube Culture: Straight Talk About Booze Dr. Trent Langhofer has long been a licensed therapist and addiction recovery counselor — after years of being an addict himself. He knows the temptation that drugs and alcohol present in a culture where isolation, busyness, comparison and anxiety have a hold. So what’s the straight story on booze? What’s OK and what’s too much? Do your reasons for drinking matter? What about social drinking? How do you know you have a problem, and what’s the first step to doing something about it? Trent joins us to dole out facts, and more importantly, offer hope and healing steps for those ready to take a new look at their relationship with alcohol.

Send us a textWeight loss doesn't improve your health—and I'm tired of having to prove it. While doctors continue pushing weight loss as a cure-all, the evidence tells a different story. The Look AHEAD Study followed 5,000 diabetics for 10 years and found that weight loss didn't prevent heart attacks or strokes. Similar studies show no long-term benefits for diabetes, arthritis, blood pressure, or fatty liver disease. Yet fat patients are still forced to advocate for basic medical care while being blamed for conditions that have nothing to do with their weight. It's time for healthcare professionals to stop putting the burden on patients and start practicing evidence-based, weight-inclusive care.For anti-diet and healthcare professionals, it's time to stop second-guessing your weight-inclusive approach, and get the research, tools, and professional certification to confidently counter medical weight bias:✓ Complete 12-module professional certification program✓ Lifetime access to expanding evidence library✓ Professional Directory listing for client referralsGot a question for the next podcast?

Why you actually don't have to do "all the health things" 2. Why I recommend focusing on these foundational elements before pursuing biohacking trends 3.  How these foundations are research-backed and more impactful than trendy supplements or restrictive eating 4.

Episode 25:36 Do THIS “First Thing In The Morning” To Improve Your Health  What if I told you there was something you could do “first thing in the morning” to improve your health. Something NOT related to diet or nutritional supplements. Something NOT related to exercising, stretching or yoga. Something NOT related to prayer or meditation. Would you be interested? Of course you would! Well, on this week's episode I share this “something.” Something simple, basic and inexpensive. Something you can do at home… in your pajamas… in under three minutes. Something that WILL, if you do it each morning, help you improve your health. What is this “something?” Check out this week's episode to find out

Ever catch yourself crushing in business…but low-key running on fumes? Like you're pushing hard, but your body's throwing quiet warnings you can't quite decode? In this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I'm resharing a powerful Guest Guru training from inside The Happy Hustle Club—our private community featuring Justin Roethlingshoefer, Celebrity Health Expert and Founder of Own It Coaching. Justin doesn't sell hacks; he engineers paradigm shifts. His mission: help leaders stop sacrificing health for the mission and start running their bodies like their business.Justin's story is raw and real. As a kid, he battled both obesity and anorexia and even faced liver and kidney failure at 16. That pain turned into purpose: two undergrads, a master's, pro hockey, a doctorate's worth of research on sleep and heart rate variability (HRV), plus deep training in functional medicine and cellular healing. He went on to become Director of Player Performance in the NHL, then stepped away after a personal health scare (precancerous polyps and a bleeding ulcer) to build Own It Coaching with his wife—a 50-person team now guiding 3,500+ high-performing founders and creators. They even built “The Health Haven” in Miami to show people how to live differently, daily. Why it matters: Justin is the rare coach who blends faith, science, and systems so your health outcomes become inevitable, not accidental.Here's what you'll learn in a nutshell:HRV is the language of your body. A higher HRV = better adaptation to stress.Oxygen is step one. VO₂ max isn't just for athletes—it's a wellness vital.Sleep is your detox system. Quality beats quantity.Fix the base before the boosters. Symptoms (low T, poor sleep, brain fog) rarely mean you “need more hormones.” Hormones open pathways; vitamins, minerals, and amino acids create the raw materials.Consistent + intentional behaviors over time = inevitable outcomes. If you're ready to go deeper and hear Justin's full training—the stories, the frameworks, and the practical protocols—hit play on the episode and let's level up your health, leadership, and longevity together.

Today I am interviewing Cathy, a participant in my "Strong and Vibrant at Home" program - a 7-week strength training and wellness course designed for Christian women in perimenopause and beyond. Our conversation captures Cathy's experience as a 67-year-old participant in my fitness program, highlighting both the practical details (equipment, structure, costs) and the personal benefits she experienced. I appreciate how Cathy so kindly emphasizes the program's unique positioning for midlife and beyond women, and her strong endorsement based on her positive results. About Cathy: Cathy is an active 67-year-old with experience in kettlebells, yoga, water exercise, and former CrossFit.

Sign up for the September 40 Day Fast here: https://butjesusdrankwine.myflodesk.com/septemberfast In Week 6—the final week—of our 6-part Monday series walking through Love Life Sober: A 40 Day Alcohol Fast, we’re covering Days 35–40. These last chapters are all about navigating real-life situations, confronting shame, and stepping fully into lasting freedom. From the workplace happy hour to vacation cocktails, from cultural pressures like “mommy wine time” to the quiet work of letting go of fixation—this week brings together everything you’ve learned and invites you to reflect on how far you’ve come. Whether you’ve been with us since Day 1 or you’re just dropping in, this episode will leave you inspired, equipped, and ready to walk forward in confidence and joy—rooted in your identity in Christ.

I used to think that in order to be healthy I had to avoid things like carbs, and fat...and basically anything that tasted good. Even as a dietitian, I got sucked into thinking of food as good/bad, and I approached my eating with restriction being my strategy for health.   It wasn't until I flipped things around and started practicing "nutrition by addition" and embracing ALL foods as part of 1) listening to my body, and 2) overall balanced eating, that I saw how it's totally possible to get healthier while eating bagels, pasta, ice cream, and Oreos.   That's because the all-or-none mindset with food actually backfires. It either leads to restriction, deprivation, and a life of rigid rule following...or it leads to being off the rails bingeing on food.   In this episode, we're going to cover 5 things we'd change immediately if you came to me and wanted to eat bagels while watching your labs improve, your digestion feel better, and your blood sugar stabilize.   When you do all of these things consistently, enjoying bagels and pasta while simultaneously watching your health improve doesn't just become possible...it becomes your reality.   If you're ready for this to happen, hit play and let's go!   Episode Highlights   1️⃣ The #1 daily behavior I would tell you to STOP doing immediately. (Besides dieting…obviously we're not doing that anymore around here, right?)   2️⃣ The first thing that you should do each morning that will improve your health and get both your metabolism and digestion working properly.   3️⃣ My mix-and-match strategy for pairing food together to allow you to eat the foods you enjoy, while balancing your blood sugar and honoring your health. (aka my “Have Your Cake and Eat It Too” method!)   Today's Wellness Woo is Poppi.   Resources Mentioned   - Sign up for my weekly email newsletter here!   Read the full episode show notes here.   Resources for Your Intuitive Eating Journey   Intuitive eating education on the blog Work with Katy Explore the self-paced mini-course Stepping Off The Dieting Rollercoaster   Connect with Katy Harvey   Website: KatyHarvey.net Instagram: @katyharvey.rd Facebook: KatyHarveyRD    Subscribe and Review   Rate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts   I would be thrilled if you could rate and review my podcast!

What if the darkest chapters of your life became the very place where God’s love met you most powerfully? In today’s raw and redemptive episode, Cristina Baker shares her jaw-dropping testimony of addiction, trauma, homelessness, and the overwhelming grace of God that broke through it all. From growing up in chaos to nearly overdosing, Cristina recounts the moment she cried out to a God she didn’t yet believe in—and how He answered her with love, rescue, and purpose. Now a speaker and the author of A Minute of Hope, Cristina knows firsthand the power of prayer and surrender. Her story will stir your spirit, shake your soul, and remind you that no one is too far gone for the love of Jesus.

In her new book, A Minute of Hope: 100 Prayers for Staying Steadfast Through Challenges and Change, she offers 100 one-minute prayers for readers yearning to feel God’s presence and experience His peace and strength. ✨ What You’ll Learn in This Episode: How God can meet you in your lowest moment and radically change your life The difference between partial surrender and full surrender How prayer became her lifeline (and why it still is) Why vulnerability is the key to healing and freedom

You don’t need a rock bottom to change. Today we explore a powerful reframe: what if rock bottom isn’t a place of shame or destruction, but a moment of surrender? A moment when you realize that Jesus is the Rock at the bottom, and that He’s been there all along. This conversation dismantles the common story that things need to get “bad enough” before you're allowed to change your relationship with alcohol. We share vulnerable moments from our own journeys and unpack how letting go of the “I have to hit bottom” mindset can actually open the door to freedom, clarity, and deeper connection with God. Whether your life “looks fine” on the outside or you’re wrestling with the quiet ache of disconnection, this episode invites you to choose better—not because you have to, but because you get to. Journaling Questions To Try: Is alcohol still serving me? Is alcohol helping me get closer to who God is calling me to be? Is this choice leading me toward peace or away from it? Am I waiting for things to get worse before I believe I’m allowed to want more?

This week, we’re tackling one of the most important identity questions in the Christian sobriety space: Do we really need to call ourselves “alcoholics”? In this heartfelt and truth-packed episode, we dive into why we believe that label doesn’t line up with our identity in Christ. We reflect on our own stories of what happened when we stopped letting shame define us. We explore what Scripture says about who we are in Jesus, why carrying labels from our past may keep us stuck, and how embracing our identity as beloved daughters of God opens the door to real transformation. We also get honest about generational patterns, the role of neuroplasticity in changing our behaviors, and the power of renewing our minds with God’s Word. This conversation is an invitation to get curious, be intentional, and replace the world’s labels with God’s truth. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: Why we don’t use the labels “alcoholic” or “addict” How identity in Christ changes everything The difference between secular freedom and freedom in Jesus The impact of generational narratives on our self-identity How neuroplasticity and biblical truth work together in our healing Why it matters what we speak over ourselves Resources Mentioned:

Moderation is exhausting. Let’s talk about what’s possible when you stop playing the game. In this listener-favorite list-style episode, we share the 10 best things about never having to moderate alcohol again, and trust us, it’s more freeing than you think. From the relentless mental gymnastics (“Should I? Shouldn’t I?”) to the emotional fallout of breaking yet another promise to yourself, moderation often becomes more of a burden than a solution. So what happens when you stop trying to control your drinking and start living in true freedom? Spoiler alert: more headspace, less shame, deeper joy, better boundaries, and a whole lot more time for Jesus (and wildflowers ). What You’ll Learn in This Episode: Why moderation takes more time, energy, and mental space than we realize The sneaky ways alcohol was stealing our joy—even in “small” amounts How living alcohol-free helps us show up more fully as moms, wives, and women of faith What shifts when you no longer have to plan, justify, or recover from drinking The role of curiosity, compassion, and truth in breaking the cycle How ditching moderation leads to deeper peace, clearer boundaries, and surprising laughter

To help you reflect and dig deeper, we’ve created a free guided journaling booklet that goes hand-in-hand with this episode. You can download it here. Join the conversation in our community at BJDW Community Today we tackle a topic that hits close to home for many women of faith: Has wine—or any other comfort—become more important than your relationship with God? Using a biblical lens, they explore the concept of idolatry: anything that takes up too much of our time, energy, money, or mental space—ultimately distracting us from intimacy with Jesus. While idolatry may sound like an Old Testament word, the truth is, modern-day idols are everywhere. And for many of us, alcohol quietly takes up far more space than we realize. We share personal experiences and spiritual insights into how alcohol once affected our own walks with God—and how letting it go made space for peace, presence, and purpose. We also walk listeners through introspective questions and journal prompts designed to help you examine your own relationship with alcohol with grace, curiosity, and truth. If you’ve ever wondered why alcohol feels so important—or if life without it might feel more aligned with the life God has for you—this episode will guide you gently but boldly toward freedom. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: What idolatry looks like in the modern world—and how alcohol fits in How to identify when something has taken God’s place in your heart or habits The spiritual, emotional, and relational costs of holding on to alcohol Why curiosity and compassion matter more than shame in this process How to take the next step toward freedom, one brave question at a time Join our private, small-group coaching space, The Missing Peace, and get BJDW all-community access for free! https://butjesusdrankwine.com/coaching Order Christy’s book now available!

Join the conversation in our community at https://butjesusdrankwine.com/community.  We're re-releasing one of our most popular episodes—Episode 13: Did Jesus Drink Wine? With Pastor David—because some truths are worth hearing twice. Or ten times. This episode gets to the heart of a phrase many of us used to justify the habit: “But Jesus drank wine.” It's not just the name of our podcast—it was a story that kept us stuck in a nightly-ish drinking cycle. So today, join us in the studio as they welcome a very special guest: Meade's pastor, David Walters, who joins us as our resident biblical scholar to tackle the burning question: Did Jesus really drink wine—and does it matter? David bravely and graciously unpacks this question and so many more, including: What does Scripture actually say about wine and drinking? What does it mean to “take our thoughts captive”? Why is the heart mentioned over 800 times in the Bible—and what does that have to do with the lies we believe? What are false idols, and how do they relate to alcohol or anything else we turn to for comfort? How do we uncover the deeper truth beneath the stories that keep us stuck? And yes… what do kids and CrossFit have to do with any of this? This episode is packed with spiritual depth, practical wisdom, and powerful applications for anyone on the journey to freedom—from alcohol, or anything else taking up too much space in your life. And don't miss the end of the episode—this week's “tiny TINA” might just be the most brilliant yet. Whether you're new to the pod or you've heard this one before, hit play with fresh ears. Because this might be the replay your heart needs right now. #ButJesusDrankWine #FreedomFromAlcohol #BiblicalTruth #FaithAndFreedom #TheMissingPeace #RenewYourMind #ChristianWomen #ReRelease Join our private, small-group coaching space, The Missing Peace, and get BJDW all-community access for free! https://butjesusdrankwine.com/coaching Order Christy's book now available!

My guest is Dr. Melissa Ilardo, Ph.D., professor of biomedical informatics at the University of Utah. We discuss the interplay between genes and behaviors, including how certain behaviors can improve resilience by changing gene and organ function, as well as natural selection events happening in humans today. We also discuss the immune system–related reasons people find the smells of potential mates attractive—or not. We explore how physical and psychological traits are passed from one generation to the next, and the specific behaviors that can influence gene expression to improve health and performance. Melissa explains her lab's pioneering research on breath-hold training and how activation of the dive reflex through breath holding can significantly improve oxygen availability by changing spleen size and function. We also delve into the medical uses and ethics of gene editing to cure disease in both babies and adults. For those interested in genes and inheritance, human performance, immune system function, and natural selection, this episode illustrates the remarkable interplay between human nature and nurture.
