I’m a wife, mom of 5 boys, and servant of God. For years, I struggled with low energy, poor moods, and the frustration of not feeling my best! And I honestly thought I was doing all the right things! I was working out, watching my calories, and following all the latest diet trends… but no matter what I did, I still didn’t feel as good as years prior.

Have you ever wondered why you’re exhausted, constantly hungry, struggling with your weight, moody, or just don’t feel like yourself—even though you’re doing all the “right” things? In this episode, we’re talking about something that may be hiding in plain sight: the ingredients in the foods you eat every single day. I’m sharing my own journey from trusting that everything on the grocery-store shelf must be safe to questioning what I was actually putting into my body. We’ll talk about ultra-processed foods, added sugars and high-fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated fats, artificial sweeteners like sucralose, non-organic grains, nitrates/nitrites, preservatives, and fillers—and why I believe we need to start paying far more attention to ingredients than simply counting calories. But this episode isn’t about perfection or eliminating every packaged food from your life. It’s about learning how to make better choices—one ingredient at a time. I’ll walk you through my simple food rules, how to read an ingredient label, why I encourage eating more God-made whole foods, and how to start making changes without becoming overwhelmed. I’ll also share the powerful lesson from Matthew 6:24 about serving God rather than mammon and why it made me ask a bigger question about our food system: Are we prioritizing our health—or the bottom line? If you’re ready to have more energy, feel better in your body, and get unstuck, this episode is a great place to start.
