All Things New Health & Wellness

Hi everyone!

I hope 2020 is off to a great start for you. I've been very busy over the last few months creating a new discipleship program and am writing to tell you more because it's almost ready to launch and...I need some beta testers!

The program is called The New Creation Discipleship Program. I've been counseling and discipling women 1:1 for a long time, teaching them about their identities in Christ and watching their lives transform before my very eyes as they uncover the false beliefs and coping mechanisms they live out of, and replace them with the Truth of their new creation in Christ and learn to trust Jesus. I've watched marriages turn around, seen forgiveness and reconciliation reunite people into friendship and joy, watched women endure terrible circumstances with peace and grace and gratitude, and have seen physical and mental illness melt away under the tender love of Christ.

I needed to find a way to bring this discipleship to more sisters in the Body, and so, The New Creation Discipleship Program was born. It's a 6-month online, small-group program that teaches Christian women who they are in Christ and what their new identity means for nitty-gritty, daily living, what that means for their marriages, parenting, health, finances, relationships with others, relationship with God, work...well, for their entire lives!

And now, it's just about ready. I'm SO excited!

But here's the thing. I need some people who are willing to come into the program and "test" it out for me, so I can iron out any wrinkles and make it the best it can be.

I'm writing to invite you to do just that. As a program beta tester you get the full 6-month program for a greatly reduced rate - 50% off - even as you get all the curriculum, teachings, online sessions and private community. All I ask in return is that you give me your honest feedback about your experience in the program.

Just one more important thing to note: because this is a Beta program offering, so we're only offering spots for 25 participants, and at this rate, they'll go fast.

That said, if you have ANY interest at all in joining us, I encourage you to click below to learn more about the program and register right away.

Hope to see you there!

"May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ."⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1 Thessalonians 5:23⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We tend to get this backwards. I know I did, and I know I'm not alone.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Yes, we can take good care of our bodies with nutrition, exercise, rest/sleep and other forms of self-care, and it's a good place to start. But sooner or later, we're going to slam headfirst into all the lie-based walls in our souls and spirits and come to a screaming halt. What then?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This happened with a client no too long ago. I created a meal plan for her that would downgrade inflammation, replete nutrients, eliminate her sensitivities, heal her gut & brain & rebuild her cellular structures & functions.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
She got started & after one week simply quit. There were lots of "reasons" why but during her counseling session we landed on the truth: she's a perfectionist and is terrified of failure.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Being perfect is how she was meeting her needs for love & acceptance. No perfection = no love or acceptance in her mind (soul). Which equals rejection, abandonment, fear, shame...you get the picture. Her worst critic and rejector? Her.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
She started replacing those lies with the Truth of who she is in Christ, and guess what? She still doesn't like failure (anyone here like failure?) but she's learning to walk through it with Jesus in grace, knowing she is loved & accepted, even (especially?) on her worst day. She's slowly giving up her performance for love because she knows she IS loved & accepted, even when:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
She blows her meal plan⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sleeps in⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Doesn't exercise⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Gains weight⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Yells at her kids⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Whatever⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
She's learning that Jesus in her spirit is the source of her life in her body, not the other way around. And it's making all the difference in how she experiences life in her body.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you experienced this?

Lord, we lift up the woman who is frustrated today. We ask that You give her Your peace, and comfort her in whatever circumstances she finds herself in.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
May she release her desire or need to control and may she trust you to work all things together for her good and the good of those she loves.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
May she lift her eyes and turn her heart to You, to see Your goodness, Your faithfulness and Your power to provide all she needs in this moment.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
May she remember that you know her to the core of her being and love and accept her as she is, even in all her frustration. May your love banish fear, guilt, shame, and condemnation. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
May she remember that you have a good plan for her life, and that You are faithful to bring that plan to its fullness. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And knowing this, may she rest in Your heart and Your hands, knowing she is safe and secure in Christ, seated at your right hand.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Jesus, give her hope, strength, discernment and a greater sense of your nearness in her frustration, that she may be strengthened and comforted.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We pray for our sister in Jesus' name....

Let's face it: "Rise and grind" just doesn't work for those dealing with low cortisol issues from HPA axis dysfunction.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Daily, relentless, punishing, long workouts will demand cortisol that the adrenal glands just aren't able to provide and will only aggravate the problem. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The good news is that exercise can still be part of your temple care with HILIT workouts (High Intensity, Low Impact). These kinds of workouts are shorter, don't put as much demand on the HPA axis and allow for appropriate recovery time.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Mixed in with low intensity exercise such as yoga, walking, or swimming HILIT workouts can deliver great returns for re-regulating your HPA Axis and recovering energy, strength and stamina.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Things to look for and remember:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
* Classes 30-min or less⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
* Pay attention to your body's signals and adjust as needed⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
* Don't skip out on recovery; rest as you need⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
* Just start; that's half the battle⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
* Modify movements as needed⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
* Be gentle with yourself⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
* Find a style of HILIT that works for you (dance, weights, gym, alone, whatever)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
* Healthy nutrition is foundational; eat for recovery

Fun fact: hormones run many if not most of your bodily functions:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Energy, metabolism, digestion, sleep, mood, emotional stability, s*x drive, detoxification, stress resilience, mental clarity, immune function, fertility, healthy weight, elimination...and many more.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If your hormones are in balance AND they can be used properly in your cells where they do their important work, you'll experience hormonal heaven. If not, well, that's hormonal hell.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So what makes hormones go wonky? Well, lots of things. But they all have one thing in common. They are toxic.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You could be physically toxic where your body is overloaded with biological toxins such as heavy metals, chemicals or latent infections.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Or, you could be soulically toxic where your mind is filled with false beliefs and thoughts about yourself, God and others, which drive your emotions and choices.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Or, you could be spiritually toxic, where you continue to live out of your old sinful identity in Adam instead of your new righteous identity in Christ.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
All three can disrupt hormones because of the mind/body connection and make your life (and everyone's around you!) a living hormonal hell.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The key to hormonal heaven is to detoxify: body, soul and spirit. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Are you living in hormonal heaven or hormonal hell?

John 15 is the Abide chapter in the Bible. It's where Jesus teaches us how powerless we are without him and reveals God's plan and desire to be our power. Why?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Because God loves fruit.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Fruit is how Jesus describes the things that grow out of us when we intentionally come into his presence and stay attached to him in relationship. It's the only way his power can flow and live through us. No Jesus, no power. No power, no fruit.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But why does God love fruit?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Two reasons:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. It glorifies him. When God's kids begin to bear godly fruit they begin to look like God. And when God in the shape of one of his kids walks into a room, people take notice and start asking questions.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2. Fruit is joyful. When your life is fruitful and abundant, when you see your own growth and progress, sense the strength and vibrancy of your life in God you feel alive, excited, full of hope, and confident. You feel joyful.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is the normal Christian life; to bear fruit and be filled with joy.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Joy is your rightful inheritance as a child of God. If you are not experiencing joy in your life right now, the diagnosis is simple. You're not abiding, not connected to the Vine, you're trying to live from your own power.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The solution is just as simple: Connect to the Vine, abide in Christ, let go of the illusion you can bear fruit on your own and let his life live in you, through you, as you.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Fruit and Joy will be sure to follow and be the norm of your life, and in hot pursuit will be physical and mental health, blessing and abundance.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What do you do to abide in the Vine?

We all know about Vitamin B12 and how important it is to our health. But there's probably some things you DON'T know that you should, like:

* Its role in methylation (what the heck is that?!)
* Why some forms are preferable to others
* What meds can deplete it
* Symptoms of B12 deficiency
* Dietary sources of B12

This Saturday I'm going LIVE to talk about this important vitamin and teach you all the things you don't know about it. And yes...you'll learn about B12's role in methylation and what happens when you don't methylate.

Repeat after me: "I MUSt be able to methylate."

See you Saturday at 10am MDT!

LIVE Recap

If you missed our LIVE Mini Health Mastery last Saturday on 3 John 1:2 here's a brief recap of what I taught:

The ONE thing we need to do to prosper in our bodies is to prosper in our souls.

That means we need to renew our minds and start seeing and thinking about things the way Jesus does.

Renewing our minds is part of this thing that God is doing called sanctification.

Sanctification is where God works out the new and perfect spiritual life He gave us at salvation into our souls (mind, emotions, will) and bodies.

GOD is the one who sanctifies us. We can't sanctify ourselves.

It's like God is the surgeon with life-saving surgery and we are the patient. He does the surgery...but we can cooperate with him by getting on the operating table and staying there while He does the surgery.

There are some things we can do to "get on the operating table":
1. Take care of our bodies by eating right
2. Take care of our bodies by getting enough sleep/rest
3. Renew our minds by spending time in God's Word and getting to know Jesus.

Bottom line: if you want to get healthy, you have to get holy!

Go watch the video at the top of our FB feed, and mark your calendars for our next Mini Healthy Mastery Class this Saturday at 10am MDT. This week we're going to be talking Vitamin B!

May is mental health awareness month and the Bible has a lot to say about it.

2 Timothy 1:7 is a perfect example. It connects a healthy, sound mind with a spirit of power and love that come directly from God. It also tells us that the spirit of fear is in direct contradiction to the spirit of fear.

Paul is writing this letter to his young, but wise, gifted and Spirit-filled apprentice and spiritual son Timothy, who is facing criticism, rejection, and ridicule from those who are older and question his ability to lead them. This verse is a strong exhortation to Timothy to remember WHO HE IS IN CHRIST and to not let fear of man overtake his soul.

We need to receive Paul's exhortation as our own. We need to remember who we are in Christ.

May I remind you?

In Christ you are:
Holy
A saint
A child of God
Beloved
Blessed
Wanted
Cherished
Beautiful
Powerful
A citizen of Heaven
God's special treasure
Unconditionally accepted
Seated at God's right hand
Eternal
Called
Your life has purpose and meaning
Victorious over sin
A warrior
At peace
Whole and healthy

God's Word is clear that behind depression, anxiety, and other mental illnesses, beneath the chemical imbalances, is a spirit of fear that has come in to steal the power and love and sound mind that God has given you.

Today, I pray that you would remember who YOU are in Christ and that you would determine to live from the power and love and sound mind that is yours in Christ Jesus.

Don't know if you've noticed at all...but ATN has changed its stripes! (Translation: we have a new logo!)

I always loved the image of a butterfly as the symbol of the new creation we are in Christ. The butterfly's journey from grubby worm to glorious wings is just like ours from sinner to saint, full of hope and potential, so we're sticking with that for sure.

But, ATN itself has gone through a major metamorphoses from when we opened our doors 7 years ago. Like so many of us in Christ, we didn't really know who we were back then. We knew we just wanted to help people get healthy and jumped in head-first.

Well, just as Holy Spirit leads God's children deeper and deeper into their new creation, He has also led ATN deeper into its identity and purpose.

And we want you to know who we are:

We believe that God is our loving, caring Father and Healer and wants to heal us.

We believe health equals holiness and wholeness in spirit, soul and body (1 Thess. 5:23).

We believe we are temples of the Living God and are responsible for caring for our bodies and renewing our minds.

We believe we become healthy through the process of sanctification where we joyfully cooperate with God as He works out into our souls and bodies the new life of Christ and spiritual perfection He worked in at our salvation.

We believe healing is conditional upon grace-empowered obedience to God, under grace (not law).

That said, our mission is to lead Christians into holy, holistic healthy living.

We do this by providing Christ-centered health and counseling services that uncover the ungodly physical, soulical and spiritual roots of symptoms and illness and replace them with godly ones that create holiness, wholeness and health.

We'd love to hear from you...what do you think about our new wings?

Are you confused about how to get healthy? Sick and tired of being sick and tired?

You don't have to be anymore! Join me on Saturdays at 10am MDT for our All Things New faith-based Mini Health Mastery classes.

This Saturday I'll teach on the ONE thing that you absolutely have to do in order to get and stay healthy.

God calls Himself your Healer. He has made it abundantly clear in His Word that He wants you to be healthy and to prosper. But...there is one condition!

Thankfully, He's also told us exactly what that is and THAT'S what I'll be teaching this Saturday.

Don't miss it!
