00:00:38.259 --> 00:00:40.600
Thank you. I wanted to tell you, I have been

00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:43.340
wanting to talk about some of the in -between.

00:00:43.479 --> 00:00:45.100
You know, we talk a lot about mental health,

00:00:45.119 --> 00:00:48.079
and we can today, and we talk all about our faith,

00:00:48.560 --> 00:00:51.079
and you're welcome to talk about either. But

00:00:51.079 --> 00:00:55.939
I see us as humans as being all parts put together.

00:00:56.299 --> 00:01:01.240
We can't necessarily separate who we are physically,

00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:06.019
emotionally, spiritually, nutritionally, from

00:01:06.019 --> 00:01:08.859
any other part. Now, we can when we talk about

00:01:08.859 --> 00:01:11.879
them in categories, but I just see that there's

00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:17.180
so much connection between healthy living, healthy

00:01:17.180 --> 00:01:22.810
lifestyle, healthy nutrition, and the mind. And

00:01:22.810 --> 00:01:26.010
so before we talk about that in particular, I

00:01:26.010 --> 00:01:29.030
would just love for you to share with us a little

00:01:29.030 --> 00:01:34.450
bit about how you became the owner of, is it

00:01:34.450 --> 00:01:36.530
whole -bite nutrition? Yeah, that's what it is,

00:01:36.810 --> 00:01:38.849
right. Well, how did this all come about? How

00:01:38.849 --> 00:01:43.209
did this dream come to you? And it's all yours.

00:01:43.439 --> 00:01:46.260
Okay, I love sharing my story. What happened

00:01:46.260 --> 00:01:50.120
with me about 15 years ago, I had just turned

00:01:50.120 --> 00:01:53.900
40 and suddenly started to get into a lot of

00:01:53.900 --> 00:01:56.060
pain. When I would get up in the morning every

00:01:56.060 --> 00:01:59.719
time I took a step my feet just hurt so bad and

00:01:59.719 --> 00:02:01.400
then it would move around to different parts

00:02:01.400 --> 00:02:04.420
of my body and you know go into my shoulders

00:02:04.420 --> 00:02:07.579
just aching so bad like and I couldn't figure

00:02:07.579 --> 00:02:09.539
out what was going on with me because I thought

00:02:09.539 --> 00:02:12.419
I was fairly healthy all my life I had been.

00:02:12.490 --> 00:02:15.849
healthy and I thought I was eating healthy every

00:02:15.849 --> 00:02:18.669
day basically you know for the most part. I did

00:02:18.669 --> 00:02:22.229
have 30 -40 extra pounds I was carrying which

00:02:22.229 --> 00:02:24.590
was also making me feel sluggish but I was in

00:02:24.590 --> 00:02:27.030
a lot of pain and it just got worse and worse

00:02:27.030 --> 00:02:30.250
and worse and finally I was thinking like something's

00:02:30.250 --> 00:02:32.509
going on with my bones or something what's wrong

00:02:32.509 --> 00:02:34.689
with me. At the time I was an educational assistant

00:02:34.689 --> 00:02:38.699
I had no clue really about Health and nutrition

00:02:38.699 --> 00:02:41.219
and that kind of thing and so doctor's appointment

00:02:41.219 --> 00:02:43.599
after doctor's appointment They kept telling

00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:45.840
me we're doing these tests on you nothing showing

00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:49.139
up. You're totally fine And at that point you

00:02:49.139 --> 00:02:51.099
start to think is this just in my head like am

00:02:51.099 --> 00:02:54.159
I going crazy? What's going on? But I had the

00:02:54.159 --> 00:02:56.120
physical symptoms that I would literally felt

00:02:56.120 --> 00:02:58.719
the pain I could see the swelling in my hands

00:02:58.719 --> 00:03:01.879
and my feet so I knew it wasn't mental, but why

00:03:01.879 --> 00:03:05.180
weren't they finding anything finally? I saw

00:03:05.180 --> 00:03:07.219
an intern doctor one day when I was there for

00:03:07.219 --> 00:03:09.400
something else and she said, well, you clearly

00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:11.860
have rheumatoid arthritis. And I was like, what?

00:03:12.500 --> 00:03:14.479
Isn't that just something old people get? Like

00:03:14.479 --> 00:03:16.479
I was 40, I didn't feel like I was old at that

00:03:16.479 --> 00:03:19.639
point, other than I was feeling really old physically.

00:03:20.039 --> 00:03:22.520
Because as time went on, I got in more and more

00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:26.080
pain. In fact, I was so becoming such a cripple.

00:03:26.500 --> 00:03:28.759
I literally, my hands crumpled up and I couldn't

00:03:28.759 --> 00:03:31.520
even open and close my hands anymore. And...

00:03:31.610 --> 00:03:34.069
I make a joke about it now that there's a lot

00:03:34.069 --> 00:03:36.050
of things you do with your hands that you don't

00:03:36.050 --> 00:03:38.729
want someone else to have to do for you. And,

00:03:39.150 --> 00:03:41.469
you know, but that was the reality for me at

00:03:41.469 --> 00:03:43.169
that point. There was a lot of things I couldn't

00:03:43.169 --> 00:03:46.330
do for myself and I had a young family at that

00:03:46.330 --> 00:03:49.710
time and I had no idea what was going on. That

00:03:49.710 --> 00:03:53.270
was 15 years ago and often still when I see a

00:03:53.270 --> 00:03:55.849
doctor, they are very adamant of why are you

00:03:55.849 --> 00:03:57.990
not taking this medication? What are you doing?

00:03:58.150 --> 00:04:00.979
Why are you not, you know, they're very very

00:04:00.979 --> 00:04:03.759
adamant of pushing the medication and so at that

00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:06.500
time I thought well maybe I need to because I

00:04:06.500 --> 00:04:09.479
was in a lot of pain and not functioning my brain.

00:04:09.639 --> 00:04:12.400
Was not functioning properly. I was in constant

00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:15.300
brain fog like I said about 40 pounds overweight

00:04:15.300 --> 00:04:17.660
felt horrible like it was in a horrible place

00:04:17.660 --> 00:04:20.639
and as you know when Physically when they're

00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:22.699
placed like that, it really affects our mental

00:04:22.699 --> 00:04:25.639
health as well Which affects my spouse my children

00:04:25.639 --> 00:04:27.779
everyone that's around me. Sometimes now I'll

00:04:27.779 --> 00:04:30.000
apologize like if you knew me then I'm sorry

00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:32.720
Like I was not a nice person. I was miserable

00:04:33.490 --> 00:04:36.069
internally, but physically, but also mentally

00:04:36.069 --> 00:04:39.389
and emotionally as well. And so many doctor's

00:04:39.389 --> 00:04:41.089
appointments and they just kept drilling that

00:04:41.089 --> 00:04:43.829
I needed to take this medication. And so I did

00:04:43.829 --> 00:04:47.189
my own research and I saw the pages and pages

00:04:47.189 --> 00:04:49.889
and pages of side effects, like serious side

00:04:49.889 --> 00:04:52.370
effects, like blood clots, you know, heart disease,

00:04:52.850 --> 00:04:55.889
early death, things like that of medications.

00:04:56.329 --> 00:04:58.730
And now I'm not against medication if that's

00:04:58.730 --> 00:05:00.430
the route you choose to take or that's what you

00:05:00.430 --> 00:05:04.620
need to do. at that point decided I cannot willingly

00:05:04.620 --> 00:05:09.279
put these pills into my body knowing that this

00:05:09.279 --> 00:05:12.060
is the effects it's going to have on me. So a

00:05:12.060 --> 00:05:14.759
lot of research, a lot of prayer and I finally

00:05:14.759 --> 00:05:19.449
found a neuropathic doctor that recommended Just

00:05:19.449 --> 00:05:21.850
try stopping for a couple weeks of eating these

00:05:21.850 --> 00:05:24.009
certain foods, inflammatory foods like wheat,

00:05:24.209 --> 00:05:26.709
sugar and dairy. Well, at that point I was in

00:05:26.709 --> 00:05:30.129
so much pain and really I was in a really, really

00:05:30.129 --> 00:05:32.129
bad state at that point. Like I said, I couldn't

00:05:32.129 --> 00:05:33.790
even open and close my hands anymore. They were

00:05:33.790 --> 00:05:37.689
just crumpled up and it was awful. So I was willing

00:05:37.689 --> 00:05:40.509
to try anything. I'd never really heard of inflammatory

00:05:40.509 --> 00:05:41.769
foods, didn't really know what she was talking

00:05:41.769 --> 00:05:45.759
about, but I said, I'll try it. Two weeks literally

00:05:45.759 --> 00:05:49.579
two weeks later and I was almost completely better

00:05:49.579 --> 00:05:54.480
Wow, I say that was my aha meant in life when

00:05:54.480 --> 00:05:58.420
I was like You mean the food I'm eating is literally

00:05:58.420 --> 00:06:01.240
killing me from the inside out the food I'm eating

00:06:01.240 --> 00:06:03.759
is doing this to me I couldn't believe it and

00:06:03.759 --> 00:06:05.540
I thought I was eating healthy. I mean I was

00:06:05.540 --> 00:06:08.800
eating You know, the little square cereal that

00:06:08.800 --> 00:06:13.319
was a healthy version was so good for us. I can't

00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:15.740
say the name of it, but every day on my way to

00:06:15.740 --> 00:06:17.240
work, I would eat that because it was healthy

00:06:17.240 --> 00:06:19.259
for me. I thought it was good. No, it was one

00:06:19.259 --> 00:06:22.560
of the exact things that was causing me to be

00:06:22.560 --> 00:06:26.399
very, very sick. And so through that process

00:06:26.399 --> 00:06:29.420
of healing myself, so much research and so much

00:06:29.420 --> 00:06:31.720
information I was seeking out and looking for.

00:06:32.040 --> 00:06:35.839
So through that process is where I. learned what

00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:39.079
I needed to do and so I did I stopped eating

00:06:39.079 --> 00:06:41.180
the inflammatory foods and I just got feeling

00:06:41.180 --> 00:06:44.000
so much better and my skin cleared up and the

00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:46.879
weight just basically shed off and people would

00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:49.500
say to me what are you doing like you look amazing

00:06:49.500 --> 00:06:52.019
what's going on and I would say well this is

00:06:52.019 --> 00:06:54.459
just what I'm doing it was a big transformation

00:06:54.459 --> 00:06:57.480
for me because I was so sick and it you know

00:06:57.480 --> 00:07:00.519
it just naturally came off and I and then again

00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:03.620
it goes back to me saying God will use our journey

00:07:03.620 --> 00:07:06.259
to lead us to our destiny if we let them and

00:07:06.259 --> 00:07:09.399
so through the process When people would say

00:07:09.399 --> 00:07:11.600
to me, well, what are you doing? Well, I have

00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:14.000
this this and that what what should I do? And

00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:16.100
I would say well, this is what I'm doing You

00:07:16.100 --> 00:07:18.540
could try this you kind of thing, right? And

00:07:18.540 --> 00:07:21.240
finally I decided no, you know what? I need to

00:07:21.240 --> 00:07:24.180
actually get certified and trained in this and

00:07:24.180 --> 00:07:27.360
so that was 15 years ago and I've you know also

00:07:27.360 --> 00:07:30.279
now added to that life coaching functional nutritionist

00:07:30.279 --> 00:07:33.160
and so I I'm Always learning always expanding

00:07:33.160 --> 00:07:36.220
now. I specifically specialize in women's hormones

00:07:36.220 --> 00:07:40.199
So it's it's really enlarged and growing since

00:07:40.199 --> 00:07:43.839
that initial certification that I have But my

00:07:43.839 --> 00:07:46.279
journey is what led me to be able to help other

00:07:46.279 --> 00:07:50.860
people and now when I look back and see You know

00:07:50.860 --> 00:07:52.839
when you're in the midst of it and you're so

00:07:52.839 --> 00:07:55.500
sick and you're trying to heal When you're in

00:07:55.500 --> 00:07:57.420
the midst of that, it's hard to see that anything

00:07:57.420 --> 00:08:00.459
good can come out of this but It's amazing to

00:08:00.459 --> 00:08:03.680
me now where I am today and now because of what

00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:06.759
I went through, I mean, I am so passionate about

00:08:06.759 --> 00:08:10.639
this because I know what it feels like to be

00:08:10.639 --> 00:08:13.980
that extra 40 pounds, to be sick, to have the

00:08:13.980 --> 00:08:16.800
brain fog, to hate the way you look and the way

00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:19.079
you feel and it affects everything. It affects

00:08:19.079 --> 00:08:22.120
every relationship that you have. I know what

00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:24.759
that feels like and how dark and awful that feels.

00:08:25.160 --> 00:08:29.259
I also know how amazing it feels now to be on

00:08:29.259 --> 00:08:31.180
the other side of that. I mean, I'm 55 years

00:08:31.180 --> 00:08:34.080
old. I am in the best shape of my life. I have

00:08:34.080 --> 00:08:36.620
way more energy, way more muscle, way more stamina

00:08:36.620 --> 00:08:39.240
than I did when I was in my 30s. It's incredible.

00:08:41.610 --> 00:08:44.330
Because taking care of my body and fueling it

00:08:44.330 --> 00:08:47.049
the way God designed it to be fueled. So I love

00:08:47.049 --> 00:08:49.149
talking about it I'm so passionate about it because

00:08:49.149 --> 00:08:52.049
I know both sides of it and I know that when

00:08:52.049 --> 00:08:54.889
someone is in this Situation or just want to

00:08:54.889 --> 00:08:57.210
improve on themselves. I could help them get

00:08:57.210 --> 00:09:00.440
to where it literally it's amazing it'll blow

00:09:00.440 --> 00:09:02.419
their minds how much better they can feel and

00:09:02.419 --> 00:09:05.720
and just how it affects everything in in your

00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:07.740
life like not only your physical health but it

00:09:07.740 --> 00:09:10.039
also affects your mental health your emotional

00:09:10.039 --> 00:09:13.200
well -being it affects your children your your

00:09:13.200 --> 00:09:16.320
spouse your marriage every part of life is affected

00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:20.580
by how we feel physically so out of all that

00:09:20.580 --> 00:09:23.019
there's so many questions that come up, I'm going

00:09:23.019 --> 00:09:25.639
to start with something that might seem a little

00:09:25.639 --> 00:09:28.919
more obscure. So when you say this about hormones,

00:09:29.240 --> 00:09:31.320
female hormones, are you specifically talking

00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:34.740
about nutritionally how to enhance, you know,

00:09:34.799 --> 00:09:36.419
naturally what's going on in your body? Are you

00:09:36.419 --> 00:09:39.019
talking about supplements? What are you generally

00:09:39.019 --> 00:09:40.659
talking about? Not to give your trade secrets

00:09:40.659 --> 00:09:43.509
away on my podcast, but In general, what did

00:09:43.509 --> 00:09:45.649
you mean by that? So I can clarify. Yeah, I'm

00:09:45.649 --> 00:09:48.330
happy to share, Corey. So when I talk about hormones,

00:09:48.389 --> 00:09:50.629
which I'm also super passionate about for women,

00:09:50.669 --> 00:09:53.610
especially because I've seen the results for

00:09:53.610 --> 00:09:56.049
myself and I've seen incredible results with

00:09:56.049 --> 00:09:58.610
every woman that I work with. But on this, it's

00:09:58.610 --> 00:10:01.009
amazing. What I do for women is I do a comprehensive

00:10:01.009 --> 00:10:04.350
wellness panel. And what that looks like is where

00:10:04.350 --> 00:10:07.509
I have a lab send them a urine test and testing.

00:10:07.909 --> 00:10:09.970
They do that at home. They package it up, send

00:10:09.970 --> 00:10:12.279
it back to the lab. And then the lab will send

00:10:12.279 --> 00:10:15.899
us eight pages of information of exactly what's

00:10:15.899 --> 00:10:17.940
going on in their body with their hormones but

00:10:17.940 --> 00:10:19.759
also if there's any inflammation in the brain

00:10:19.759 --> 00:10:22.059
any inflammation in the gut how the kidneys are

00:10:22.059 --> 00:10:24.860
working all of this it's literally like pulling

00:10:24.860 --> 00:10:27.759
back the curtain to see exactly what is going

00:10:27.759 --> 00:10:30.080
on inside of a person's body and I mean it's

00:10:30.080 --> 00:10:33.159
for male and female I specifically mostly work

00:10:33.159 --> 00:10:36.799
with women but it's fascinating to see exactly

00:10:36.799 --> 00:10:38.980
what is going on within their bodies so then

00:10:38.980 --> 00:10:43.080
once we see what's going on in her body, then

00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:46.440
we make simple changes. I always start with lifestyle

00:10:46.440 --> 00:10:49.500
because lifestyle is the simplest and it's usually

00:10:49.500 --> 00:10:52.440
free. So we start with lifestyle, simple changes

00:10:52.440 --> 00:10:56.580
and it's incredible. how we are created because

00:10:56.580 --> 00:10:59.580
our body responds amazingly well when we just

00:10:59.580 --> 00:11:02.799
do simple things to help it adjust, help it to

00:11:02.799 --> 00:11:04.919
heal. And then, of course, nutrition is a big

00:11:04.919 --> 00:11:07.259
part of it. For me, when someone comes into my

00:11:07.259 --> 00:11:10.240
program and works with me, I literally make customized

00:11:10.240 --> 00:11:13.340
programs for them of what to eat, what they need

00:11:13.340 --> 00:11:15.600
to do, that kind of thing. And it's just all

00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:18.019
whole, real food. I don't push pills. I don't,

00:11:18.019 --> 00:11:20.440
you know, recommend powders and potions and all

00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:22.600
of that stuff. That's not. That's because that

00:11:22.600 --> 00:11:25.440
doesn't last. Believe me, I tried all of that

00:11:25.440 --> 00:11:28.820
stuff many years ago. It's that just fueling

00:11:28.820 --> 00:11:30.799
our bodies with whole real food that you buy

00:11:30.799 --> 00:11:33.039
at the local grocery store or the farmers market

00:11:33.039 --> 00:11:35.480
that God created us for. Then if they need a

00:11:35.480 --> 00:11:38.419
supplement, I will recommend, I don't sell supplements,

00:11:38.799 --> 00:11:41.059
but if they need a supplement, I will recommend

00:11:41.059 --> 00:11:43.860
a supplement to them. Sometimes we do depending

00:11:43.860 --> 00:11:46.539
on where we're at in our journey. Sometimes our

00:11:46.539 --> 00:11:48.460
bodies need that extra support of a supplement

00:11:48.460 --> 00:11:53.830
for a while. That also then tells me that you

00:11:53.830 --> 00:11:57.909
may not have to be in your area of North America

00:11:57.909 --> 00:12:01.090
in order to get help from you. So a lot of times

00:12:01.090 --> 00:12:03.909
we wait till the end to say this, but I'm not

00:12:03.909 --> 00:12:06.750
finished. I would love to talk to you more. How

00:12:06.750 --> 00:12:09.330
could someone that's, you know, I'm in Virginia.

00:12:09.350 --> 00:12:11.809
I know you're not. I have a lot of people who

00:12:11.809 --> 00:12:15.509
listen across the country. In fact, I think the

00:12:15.509 --> 00:12:18.860
last time I checked 13 countries. are listening

00:12:18.860 --> 00:12:22.840
to the podcast at some level, and that's not

00:12:22.840 --> 00:12:25.320
bots, that's actual listeners. So I'm excited

00:12:25.320 --> 00:12:29.159
that I'm sharing to a broad audience, and I would

00:12:29.159 --> 00:12:32.220
love for you to tell us, how could someone that

00:12:32.220 --> 00:12:35.299
wanted to get in touch with you, get in touch

00:12:35.299 --> 00:12:38.559
with you, and will you do it either over the

00:12:38.559 --> 00:12:40.899
phone, over a computer, over Zoom? How does that

00:12:40.899 --> 00:12:43.779
work if we're not by you? Just so we can get

00:12:43.779 --> 00:12:46.360
that. Now, and then I'll ask you some more questions.

00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:48.820
Yeah, for sure. I work with people all over the

00:12:48.820 --> 00:12:51.940
world. And that's how I set up my business when

00:12:51.940 --> 00:12:54.340
I did start it on purpose so that I could work

00:12:54.340 --> 00:12:57.259
with anyone anywhere in the world. It's all done

00:12:57.259 --> 00:12:59.820
virtually, basically all done through Zoom and

00:12:59.820 --> 00:13:02.940
emails. I send them their meal plans, their recipes,

00:13:03.039 --> 00:13:05.740
even their grocery list I make for them so that

00:13:05.740 --> 00:13:09.059
it's just very, very simple. We do group workouts

00:13:09.059 --> 00:13:11.399
together with other ladies that are in the program.

00:13:11.419 --> 00:13:13.750
If they want to join that, that's via Zoom. that

00:13:13.750 --> 00:13:15.809
can do it, which is amazing, right from their

00:13:15.809 --> 00:13:17.870
home. So they don't even have to leave the house

00:13:17.870 --> 00:13:20.730
to get a good workout in. Like I don't go to

00:13:20.730 --> 00:13:23.029
the gym and I've got, like I said, I'm in the

00:13:23.029 --> 00:13:26.149
best shape of my life and I seldom ever go to

00:13:26.149 --> 00:13:28.509
the gym. It's just all workouts that we do at

00:13:28.509 --> 00:13:31.169
home for 30 minutes a day. Like it's quick and

00:13:31.169 --> 00:13:35.289
simple. So my social media is Whole by Nutrition,

00:13:35.529 --> 00:13:38.950
W -H -O -L -E -B -Y Nutrition. I also have another

00:13:38.950 --> 00:13:41.789
page, it's The Elsa Martin. So they can look.

00:13:42.009 --> 00:13:44.929
on Instagram of either of those. Facebook is

00:13:44.929 --> 00:13:47.429
whole by nutrition. I also have a podcast called

00:13:47.429 --> 00:13:49.970
renewed and radiant. The best way to contact

00:13:49.970 --> 00:13:52.789
me really is a message on Instagram. I go through

00:13:52.789 --> 00:13:56.070
my own messages. I check that often. So if they

00:13:56.070 --> 00:13:58.389
have a question or want to reach out to me at

00:13:58.389 --> 00:14:01.769
all, message me on Instagram or Facebook. I think

00:14:01.769 --> 00:14:05.009
I'd seen your website and some blog posts, but

00:14:05.009 --> 00:14:09.210
when I candidly can say I didn't read through

00:14:09.210 --> 00:14:12.679
the material. So this isn't a test of what's

00:14:12.679 --> 00:14:15.220
on your site if you start questioning me i'm

00:14:15.220 --> 00:14:18.159
gonna i'm gonna fail the test but are there resources

00:14:18.159 --> 00:14:20.980
that you have on there that someone could you

00:14:20.980 --> 00:14:23.779
know get inspired or get to know you a little

00:14:23.779 --> 00:14:27.080
bit more or maybe your perspective on some things

00:14:27.080 --> 00:14:29.779
is that how they could do that Yeah, for sure.

00:14:30.120 --> 00:14:32.639
So there's the website wholebynutrition .com

00:14:32.639 --> 00:14:36.179
and on there I do a blog post. So for years I've

00:14:36.179 --> 00:14:38.980
been posting a blog there and just little short

00:14:38.980 --> 00:14:40.960
information of how to get your kids to eat more

00:14:40.960 --> 00:14:42.960
veggies or how to get more exercise in or the

00:14:42.960 --> 00:14:45.399
best exercise for fat loss, that kind of thing.

00:14:45.659 --> 00:14:49.340
That's all on there. My Instagram page, the Elsa

00:14:49.340 --> 00:14:52.320
Martin. If you want the real raw version of me

00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:55.340
where we really dig into more disruptive content

00:14:55.340 --> 00:15:00.899
and faith -based wellness. freedom. I'm a real

00:15:00.899 --> 00:15:04.139
advocate for getting women off of yo -yo diets

00:15:04.139 --> 00:15:07.820
and just healing their bodies and loving how

00:15:07.820 --> 00:15:09.759
they look and feel the way God created them.

00:15:10.200 --> 00:15:12.820
Yes, a lot of times that includes weight loss.

00:15:13.480 --> 00:15:16.000
Most, like 99 % of women come to me for weight

00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:18.960
loss and to heal their hormones. And that happens

00:15:18.960 --> 00:15:22.000
once we get our bodies in alignment. It happens

00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:24.460
actually amazingly quickly. So on your journey,

00:15:24.679 --> 00:15:28.399
to this point, who inspires you? You inspire

00:15:28.399 --> 00:15:31.519
others, it's clear to me, but who has inspired

00:15:31.519 --> 00:15:36.279
you? Oh, that's a great question, Corey. Who

00:15:36.279 --> 00:15:39.840
has inspired me? You know, I think now, especially,

00:15:40.440 --> 00:15:44.799
I'm inspired by a few people and I would say

00:15:45.400 --> 00:15:48.419
On social media. I'm very careful of what I look

00:15:48.419 --> 00:15:50.279
at on social media because that's a that's a

00:15:50.279 --> 00:15:53.179
whole thing of taking us away from our true identity

00:15:53.179 --> 00:15:55.340
when we get caught up in that but you know, there's

00:15:55.340 --> 00:15:59.139
a few people women that really are advocating

00:15:59.139 --> 00:16:03.919
for women's health and You know having the conversation

00:16:03.919 --> 00:16:07.019
about women's hormones. There's it's the interesting

00:16:07.019 --> 00:16:10.840
thing is with doctors at least where the one

00:16:10.840 --> 00:16:13.480
anybody that I've talked to that has had a doctor

00:16:13.480 --> 00:16:17.019
most of like 99 percent really don't have training

00:16:17.019 --> 00:16:19.919
in this kind of thing and so it can just get

00:16:19.919 --> 00:16:22.320
stuffed or like you just got to suffer through

00:16:22.320 --> 00:16:24.500
you just got to make it through this decade and

00:16:24.500 --> 00:16:27.259
that kind of thing and we really don't so when

00:16:27.259 --> 00:16:30.779
I am really inspired by hearing people that stand

00:16:30.779 --> 00:16:33.799
up for that and and teach that and help women

00:16:33.799 --> 00:16:36.779
also you know on on their journeys there I find

00:16:36.779 --> 00:16:42.950
that very inspiring. What has been the greatest

00:16:42.950 --> 00:16:46.409
lesson that you've learned out of your your struggles

00:16:46.409 --> 00:16:50.690
and That rheumatoid arthritis and the pain to

00:16:50.690 --> 00:16:56.529
now like in that season of your life The greatest

00:16:56.529 --> 00:16:59.789
lesson Wow, these are good questions you should

00:16:59.789 --> 00:17:03.690
have prepared me ahead of time I figured this

00:17:03.690 --> 00:17:07.410
way and it's okay because my podcast listeners

00:17:07.789 --> 00:17:10.970
We're gentle. I don't get negative feedback.

00:17:13.170 --> 00:17:16.930
We're a very supportive community. I wanted to

00:17:16.930 --> 00:17:21.509
get the rawest of responses, but I didn't mean

00:17:21.509 --> 00:17:23.509
to put you on the spot. No, that's fine. It's

00:17:23.509 --> 00:17:29.420
good. I like it. It's fun. So I would say that

00:17:29.420 --> 00:17:31.960
one of the biggest lessons that I've learned,

00:17:32.420 --> 00:17:34.299
and again, I just keep going back to that, that

00:17:34.299 --> 00:17:36.079
our journey will lead us to our, God will use

00:17:36.079 --> 00:17:38.000
our journey to lead us to our destiny if we'll

00:17:38.000 --> 00:17:41.740
let Him, and I feel like... This has been a huge

00:17:41.740 --> 00:17:44.220
physical journey for me. I like looking good.

00:17:44.339 --> 00:17:47.019
I like having energy to play with my grandkids

00:17:47.019 --> 00:17:49.299
I like what it does for my relationship with

00:17:49.299 --> 00:17:51.720
my husband, you know all of that those things

00:17:51.720 --> 00:17:54.359
I love this. I love being able to carry all my

00:17:54.359 --> 00:17:56.920
groceries in one trip I love having you know

00:17:56.920 --> 00:17:58.859
confidence to put on whatever I want to wear

00:17:58.859 --> 00:18:01.259
and feel good I don't need to worry about how

00:18:01.259 --> 00:18:04.460
it's gonna look. I you know, I love all of that

00:18:04.460 --> 00:18:08.420
but the biggest thing with that is beyond the

00:18:08.420 --> 00:18:11.680
physical, is how it affects us mentally and emotionally

00:18:11.680 --> 00:18:15.019
and how it affects every relationship. And I

00:18:15.019 --> 00:18:17.519
have so many women that I work with that say

00:18:17.519 --> 00:18:19.799
that same thing. I will ask them, you know, what's

00:18:19.799 --> 00:18:22.079
one of the biggest things that happened to you

00:18:22.079 --> 00:18:23.700
on this journey when you worked with me that

00:18:23.700 --> 00:18:26.359
you weren't expecting? And that's a big one that

00:18:26.359 --> 00:18:30.220
comes out. how it has shifted my mindset and

00:18:30.220 --> 00:18:33.759
how it affected my relationships, my relationships

00:18:33.759 --> 00:18:36.019
with my kids, my relationship with my husband,

00:18:36.359 --> 00:18:38.019
you know, my relationship in my business when

00:18:38.019 --> 00:18:40.960
I walk into my office, that kind of thing of

00:18:40.960 --> 00:18:45.759
how, how we feel about ourselves has a huge impact

00:18:45.759 --> 00:18:48.319
on every relationship that we have. So I would

00:18:48.319 --> 00:18:51.619
say my biggest lesson that I've learned through

00:18:51.619 --> 00:18:55.039
this is the journey will God will use it to take

00:18:55.039 --> 00:18:56.980
you to your destiny if you let them and so when

00:18:56.980 --> 00:19:00.079
you're walking through something that can feel

00:19:00.079 --> 00:19:04.319
hard because we all do and one one hard thing

00:19:04.319 --> 00:19:06.160
you know you're either coming up to one or you

00:19:06.160 --> 00:19:07.779
just been through one or you're in the middle

00:19:07.779 --> 00:19:11.609
of one right so The biggest thing with that is

00:19:11.609 --> 00:19:14.569
now keeping that in mind as we go forward in

00:19:14.569 --> 00:19:17.670
life to remember that if I'm in the middle of

00:19:17.670 --> 00:19:20.170
something, I know that when I stay close to the

00:19:20.170 --> 00:19:23.089
Lord, He's going to use this to turn it for my

00:19:23.089 --> 00:19:26.210
good. I just need to hold on to the rock and,

00:19:26.210 --> 00:19:29.730
you know, trust Him through this process. Yeah.

00:19:31.109 --> 00:19:34.089
I don't know if you're opposed to tattoos. I'm

00:19:34.089 --> 00:19:39.359
not trying to be controversial. I do have some

00:19:39.359 --> 00:19:42.880
tattoos and one as a reminder, it's not a rock,

00:19:43.220 --> 00:19:46.940
it's not a rock on my arm, but it's that anchor

00:19:46.940 --> 00:19:50.900
because I'm anchored in that hope and faith and

00:19:50.900 --> 00:19:53.920
it just keeps coming up and so much of what I'm

00:19:53.920 --> 00:19:57.359
saying to others is just being anchored is so

00:19:57.359 --> 00:19:59.079
powerful. I don't think you have to have a tattoo

00:19:59.079 --> 00:20:04.279
to remember that for sure, but I just find that

00:20:04.400 --> 00:20:07.579
being anchored to the rock is in essence the

00:20:07.579 --> 00:20:12.220
same same message so I know what gets like every

00:20:12.220 --> 00:20:15.420
day when I wake up I love the fact that I get

00:20:15.420 --> 00:20:19.359
to see my grandson and I love the fact that my

00:20:19.359 --> 00:20:21.579
wife and I are still best friends and you know

00:20:21.579 --> 00:20:24.839
we have fun together and I can still be goofy

00:20:24.839 --> 00:20:29.119
Cory not academic or dr. Potter Cory I can just

00:20:29.119 --> 00:20:33.690
be Cory you know and I love what I get to do

00:20:33.690 --> 00:20:36.430
at work because I can analyze, lead, do things.

00:20:36.829 --> 00:20:39.769
But then when it comes to the podcast, I love

00:20:39.769 --> 00:20:42.529
the fact that I can make a difference in someone's

00:20:42.529 --> 00:20:46.289
life or lives. And I love the fact that I'm not

00:20:46.289 --> 00:20:48.789
counting numbers. I know I said, I mean, I do

00:20:48.789 --> 00:20:51.529
see the numbers, but I'm not, that's not my purpose

00:20:51.529 --> 00:20:55.390
is to get famous. My purpose is to change one

00:20:55.390 --> 00:20:58.210
person's life for the better with each episode.

00:20:58.430 --> 00:21:02.099
And so I want to ask you what When you get up

00:21:02.099 --> 00:21:05.660
in the morning, what's giving you that excitement?

00:21:05.960 --> 00:21:08.279
What are the things that might be more than one

00:21:08.279 --> 00:21:11.039
thing that just gets you so excited about the

00:21:11.039 --> 00:21:12.980
work that's in front of you? Talk about your

00:21:12.980 --> 00:21:17.880
passion in that. Okay, that's so easy. Every

00:21:17.880 --> 00:21:21.680
time I get to coach a woman and watch her transform

00:21:21.680 --> 00:21:25.400
and just see even her countenance change, just

00:21:25.400 --> 00:21:28.250
like literally two days ago, One of the gals

00:21:28.250 --> 00:21:31.049
that I coach, I've literally seen her physically

00:21:31.049 --> 00:21:33.650
shrink. She loves how she looks, how she feels.

00:21:33.930 --> 00:21:37.930
And she mentioned to me that, yes, that is, I

00:21:37.930 --> 00:21:39.890
love that. I love that I've changed that. But

00:21:39.890 --> 00:21:42.470
she said that the biggest thing for her is her

00:21:42.470 --> 00:21:45.170
self -esteem. And she's a single mom, a young

00:21:45.170 --> 00:21:48.069
single mom had, she said she had terrible low

00:21:48.069 --> 00:21:50.170
self -esteem, thought so lowly of herself when

00:21:50.170 --> 00:21:52.690
she came into the program. And now because of

00:21:52.690 --> 00:21:55.390
the work that we've done together, she feels

00:21:55.390 --> 00:21:57.799
so much better about herself. Physically yes,

00:21:57.799 --> 00:22:00.319
but more importantly mentally and emotionally

00:22:00.319 --> 00:22:02.900
and how she sees herself and the confidence that

00:22:02.900 --> 00:22:06.099
she has like that's life -changing stuff You

00:22:06.099 --> 00:22:08.460
know the number on the scale is nice when it

00:22:08.460 --> 00:22:12.000
drops But this these kind of things is life -changing

00:22:12.000 --> 00:22:14.200
and I get to hear this kind of thing from women

00:22:14.200 --> 00:22:17.900
all the time and so that is a huge motivator

00:22:17.900 --> 00:22:20.660
for me and I just that lights me up because I

00:22:20.660 --> 00:22:22.319
know what a difference it makes because I've

00:22:22.319 --> 00:22:24.799
been there and I know what a difference it makes

00:22:24.799 --> 00:22:28.019
in your life, I mean it it affects every area

00:22:28.019 --> 00:22:31.400
of your life right so to to hear those kind of

00:22:31.400 --> 00:22:34.200
testimonies from women is just who just propels

00:22:34.200 --> 00:22:38.359
me and i'm like let's go i love this yeah i i

00:22:38.359 --> 00:22:42.079
i sensed that about you and i i just i would

00:22:42.079 --> 00:22:44.660
have guessed that being at least in the top three

00:22:44.660 --> 00:22:48.079
so that that's that's tracking along with it

00:22:48.079 --> 00:22:51.759
i'm oftentimes doing my podcast without guests

00:22:51.759 --> 00:22:54.180
and I'm you know going through I don't want to

00:22:54.180 --> 00:22:56.880
make it too much like schooling people I don't

00:22:56.880 --> 00:22:59.099
want to make it too much like this is a sermon

00:22:59.099 --> 00:23:01.480
and but sometimes I just go with what the Lord

00:23:01.480 --> 00:23:06.920
leads me to say about a certain topic but I in

00:23:06.920 --> 00:23:09.900
this case I want you to just give us some words

00:23:09.900 --> 00:23:12.299
of wisdom just some things that you've learned

00:23:12.299 --> 00:23:16.079
in your journey that you could pass along could

00:23:16.079 --> 00:23:18.640
be about the topic at hand or just give us some

00:23:18.640 --> 00:23:21.900
words of wisdom and make it yours. There's no

00:23:21.900 --> 00:23:23.880
guideline there. That's not as hard of a question.

00:23:24.619 --> 00:23:28.940
Okay. I would just say for some words of wisdom

00:23:28.940 --> 00:23:32.299
is that to recognize that no matter where we

00:23:32.299 --> 00:23:36.119
are, there's always a next step that we can take

00:23:36.119 --> 00:23:40.289
to get us towards a goal or something that we

00:23:40.289 --> 00:23:43.089
want to achieve or reach. And it's not about

00:23:43.089 --> 00:23:46.789
constantly striving and pushing. I work a lot

00:23:46.789 --> 00:23:49.690
with high achieving women because it's not a

00:23:49.690 --> 00:23:51.930
coincidence that a high achieving women often

00:23:51.930 --> 00:23:55.170
have hormones that are out of whack. I was there.

00:23:55.609 --> 00:23:59.710
I understand it. But I want to say that no matter

00:23:59.710 --> 00:24:01.569
what, doesn't matter what you've achieved in

00:24:01.569 --> 00:24:04.240
your life, if there's an area because there always

00:24:04.240 --> 00:24:07.880
is, where you know that you want to improve on

00:24:07.880 --> 00:24:10.359
or you wish you could improve on or you feel

00:24:10.359 --> 00:24:12.759
like you're just, why can't I get this? Why can't

00:24:12.759 --> 00:24:15.180
I get control of this area? Why can't I get this?

00:24:15.319 --> 00:24:17.819
Is that there's always a simple step that you

00:24:17.819 --> 00:24:20.900
can take to start to move towards your goals.

00:24:20.920 --> 00:24:23.880
And it's always the small things that add up

00:24:23.880 --> 00:24:27.779
to the big goal. So to not feel like, oh, I got

00:24:27.779 --> 00:24:30.079
to do this huge monumental thing. I was literally

00:24:30.079 --> 00:24:33.029
just teaching the other evening to my the ladies

00:24:33.029 --> 00:24:37.809
that I coach, consistency by far outweighs intensity.

00:24:38.430 --> 00:24:41.190
So doing consistent little things day by day

00:24:41.190 --> 00:24:44.849
is going to get you way closer and to your goal

00:24:44.849 --> 00:24:47.809
actually faster than occasionally doing some

00:24:47.809 --> 00:24:50.670
big thing. And so that's important, taking the

00:24:50.670 --> 00:24:54.039
small steps. basically daily. I'm a huge proponent

00:24:54.039 --> 00:24:57.579
for my environment, the community that I've created

00:24:57.579 --> 00:24:59.279
and that's another thing that a lot of ladies

00:24:59.279 --> 00:25:01.819
will mention is they can't believe what a positive

00:25:01.819 --> 00:25:05.200
environment when it's just ladies. We're completely

00:25:05.200 --> 00:25:08.420
non -judgmental. Getting yourself in a positive

00:25:08.420 --> 00:25:11.460
environment where you are supported, where other

00:25:11.460 --> 00:25:13.640
people are working on a similar journey as what

00:25:13.640 --> 00:25:16.900
you're working on. Community, especially for

00:25:16.900 --> 00:25:21.220
women, is huge. We need that. We need to have

00:25:21.220 --> 00:25:23.799
the support with each other. And then, of course,

00:25:24.019 --> 00:25:27.200
seeking the Lord and asking Him to show you,

00:25:27.339 --> 00:25:30.440
not just going in with our own agendas, but literally.

00:25:30.670 --> 00:25:33.190
grabbing a notebook just sitting there and Lord

00:25:33.190 --> 00:25:36.349
is this the right coach for me or please bring

00:25:36.349 --> 00:25:38.430
the right person to me or bring the help to me

00:25:38.430 --> 00:25:41.529
that I need and ask him to show you to reveal

00:25:41.529 --> 00:25:44.930
it to you he's our loving father he absolutely

00:25:44.930 --> 00:25:48.170
will do that and we just need to be listening

00:25:48.170 --> 00:25:51.210
to what he wants to speak to us it's confirmed

00:25:51.210 --> 00:25:54.230
I'm not a woman but it's also confirmed because

00:25:54.230 --> 00:25:58.410
my wife is in a group for her business coaching

00:25:58.410 --> 00:26:01.990
and I'm not advertising it because i don't even

00:26:01.990 --> 00:26:04.549
i know that it's sore sisters but i don't know

00:26:04.549 --> 00:26:07.049
all about it like how you get there that's not

00:26:07.049 --> 00:26:10.609
my point my point is when i ask hers i interviewed

00:26:10.609 --> 00:26:15.410
her maybe my second third and fourth episodes

00:26:15.410 --> 00:26:17.869
i've published 30 episodes so is at the beginning

00:26:17.869 --> 00:26:21.869
is the point and the same thing applies faith

00:26:21.869 --> 00:26:26.869
-based coaching with women who authentically

00:26:26.869 --> 00:26:30.670
care for one another and create that synergy

00:26:30.670 --> 00:26:34.589
that non -judgmental encouragement can help people

00:26:34.589 --> 00:26:36.609
I can't tell you how many times come home from

00:26:36.609 --> 00:26:39.910
work and I'm like this happened to me or this

00:26:39.910 --> 00:26:42.730
is going on and Sue will be like I talked with

00:26:42.730 --> 00:26:45.950
this person because they said they called me

00:26:45.950 --> 00:26:48.750
and said Sue you're just consistent like you're

00:26:48.750 --> 00:26:51.109
saying you're just consistent with what you do

00:26:51.109 --> 00:26:55.029
and I'm watching you do it and I see your posts

00:26:55.029 --> 00:26:57.799
and I see what you're doing and instead of Sue

00:26:57.799 --> 00:27:00.180
being like well you just got to be like me she

00:27:00.180 --> 00:27:03.140
gives them the advice she helps them to figure

00:27:03.140 --> 00:27:06.480
out what they could do to get there and it's

00:27:06.480 --> 00:27:08.759
like if you know someone's praying for you while

00:27:08.759 --> 00:27:11.160
you're getting to that spot if you know that

00:27:11.160 --> 00:27:14.009
someone is not judging you as you're trying to

00:27:14.009 --> 00:27:16.710
figure it out and you know that someone genuinely

00:27:16.710 --> 00:27:19.990
wants to make your life better that that's so

00:27:19.990 --> 00:27:22.710
rewarding and i'm a guy i know a lot of my listeners

00:27:22.710 --> 00:27:25.049
are female i'm fighting over time i do have some

00:27:25.049 --> 00:27:28.049
men that listen as well but i'm not ashamed to

00:27:28.049 --> 00:27:31.250
say guys need it as well we need to be able to

00:27:31.250 --> 00:27:34.970
have real talk with real people and other men

00:27:34.970 --> 00:27:37.869
and so yes it applies to women and thank you

00:27:37.869 --> 00:27:40.920
for that i mean i'm not saying like let me make

00:27:40.920 --> 00:27:43.700
a correction here I'm really saying as a guy

00:27:43.700 --> 00:27:48.259
we can listen to this man and we can say what

00:27:48.259 --> 00:27:51.460
does that mean for me because we're yes we're

00:27:51.460 --> 00:27:54.019
different I mean we're made up differently and

00:27:54.019 --> 00:27:56.900
one of the early on things when Sue and I used

00:27:56.900 --> 00:27:59.400
to do this marriage ministry was a book I don't

00:27:59.400 --> 00:28:01.960
remember who wrote it but men are like waffles

00:28:01.960 --> 00:28:06.839
women are like spaghetti yeah yeah so so in essence

00:28:06.839 --> 00:28:09.690
the book is about we can compartmentalize as

00:28:09.690 --> 00:28:11.849
guys, you know, I'm at work, I'm doing work things,

00:28:12.009 --> 00:28:14.289
I'm hunting, I'm doing hunting things. Whereas

00:28:14.289 --> 00:28:19.329
a mom slash woman slash wife slash whatever else

00:28:19.329 --> 00:28:21.589
you're doing, business owner, you know, driven,

00:28:22.089 --> 00:28:25.690
those things, you know, a lot of it intertwines

00:28:25.690 --> 00:28:27.930
differently. And you can see the emotional connections

00:28:27.930 --> 00:28:30.009
and the energy. And I don't mean that in a weird

00:28:30.009 --> 00:28:33.690
way, but you know, you can't shut off your energy

00:28:33.690 --> 00:28:36.190
towards your hunting trip and go to now I'm at

00:28:36.190 --> 00:28:38.930
the grocery store like a guy sometimes can and

00:28:38.930 --> 00:28:42.250
so I know we're wired differently as men and

00:28:42.250 --> 00:28:45.829
women but I also would say so much of the wisdom

00:28:45.829 --> 00:28:48.529
that you're sharing just applies to you know

00:28:48.529 --> 00:28:51.589
us as humans. I mean I've seen it with my with

00:28:51.589 --> 00:28:55.269
my own husband and how things that he's journeyed

00:28:55.269 --> 00:28:59.269
on and overcome and how when he got brave enough

00:28:59.269 --> 00:29:04.720
to talk about that Literally, the amount of men

00:29:04.720 --> 00:29:07.799
that gathered and they worked through things

00:29:07.799 --> 00:29:12.240
together, it just takes someone to be brave enough

00:29:12.240 --> 00:29:15.220
to say, you know what, I'm struggling with this

00:29:15.220 --> 00:29:18.500
or I have struggled with this, and the truth

00:29:18.500 --> 00:29:21.640
will set you free. So I believe it's a tool of

00:29:21.640 --> 00:29:24.890
the enemy to Shame us to try and make us feel

00:29:24.890 --> 00:29:27.869
like we're alone that nobody else struggles with

00:29:27.869 --> 00:29:31.289
this and it's such a lie because We're human.

00:29:31.470 --> 00:29:34.089
We're all human and we all almost struggle with

00:29:34.089 --> 00:29:36.430
very similar things And if it isn't one thing,

00:29:36.730 --> 00:29:38.910
you know, it's another thing I feel like because

00:29:38.910 --> 00:29:41.809
women are we tend to be more vocal just the way

00:29:41.809 --> 00:29:44.190
we're created that it can be a bit more of a

00:29:44.190 --> 00:29:47.690
struggle for men to Make those connections, but

00:29:47.690 --> 00:29:50.940
if you could be brave enough as a man to open

00:29:50.940 --> 00:29:54.380
up and share and to you know be vulnerable with

00:29:54.380 --> 00:29:56.859
other men get yourself in a community like that

00:29:56.859 --> 00:29:59.500
whether it's a you know a bible study or an online

00:29:59.500 --> 00:30:02.640
group or something like that it's amazing how

00:30:02.640 --> 00:30:05.539
freeing that can be and recognizing that you're

00:30:05.539 --> 00:30:08.140
not alone in these struggles that god is there

00:30:08.140 --> 00:30:11.000
to help and and support each other because it's

00:30:11.000 --> 00:30:13.680
just as important for men as it is for women

00:30:13.680 --> 00:30:19.099
sure yeah i totally agree There's a church out

00:30:19.099 --> 00:30:23.359
of Atlanta, Georgia called Passion City and Louie

00:30:23.359 --> 00:30:28.460
Giglio is the pastor there. And one of the things

00:30:28.460 --> 00:30:31.059
that they put together was called a Fight Club.

00:30:31.900 --> 00:30:35.660
And in essence, they were small groups. I think

00:30:35.660 --> 00:30:39.339
they recommended, I don't know, it was either

00:30:39.339 --> 00:30:41.480
three to five or four to six. So let's just say

00:30:41.480 --> 00:30:45.619
up to six people. Then they got together and

00:30:45.619 --> 00:30:50.230
just held each other accountable, but not an

00:30:50.230 --> 00:30:54.490
accountability like judgment. Are you doing this?

00:30:54.589 --> 00:30:57.069
You're wrong. You know, you shall repent. It

00:30:57.069 --> 00:31:00.410
was more like, what are you doing? What have

00:31:00.410 --> 00:31:05.009
you done this week that has enhanced your relationship

00:31:05.009 --> 00:31:10.130
with God? And they just talk. And then what are

00:31:10.130 --> 00:31:13.809
you doing that, you know, is helping you and

00:31:13.809 --> 00:31:16.089
your spouse or you know you to take care of your

00:31:16.089 --> 00:31:18.250
family and are there things that you're looking

00:31:18.250 --> 00:31:22.029
at listening to and are doing that's taking you

00:31:22.029 --> 00:31:27.630
away from God or your family and honest answers

00:31:27.630 --> 00:31:32.130
lead to leads to healing and so it's it's just

00:31:32.130 --> 00:31:35.329
what you're talking about and there's been times

00:31:35.329 --> 00:31:38.190
where I've I've tried over time amongst some

00:31:38.190 --> 00:31:40.910
of my health issues to get some of those fight

00:31:40.910 --> 00:31:44.420
clubs going in the local city that I live in.

00:31:44.420 --> 00:31:47.480
I'm focusing on the podcast, but I've been inclined

00:31:47.480 --> 00:31:50.440
to feel like I want to do those kinds of things.

00:31:50.680 --> 00:31:53.700
And so if I can at least share the idea and give

00:31:53.700 --> 00:31:57.440
the resource and that that's possibly going to

00:31:57.440 --> 00:32:01.559
help someone else, but very positive message

00:32:01.559 --> 00:32:04.700
that you're given here. I appreciate that. That's

00:32:04.700 --> 00:32:10.150
good. And I know I was raised I mean, my dad

00:32:10.150 --> 00:32:11.930
was in the picture, but my parents got divorced,

00:32:11.930 --> 00:32:15.029
so I was raised by my mom. I had two sisters.

00:32:15.349 --> 00:32:20.190
I married a woman. I had two daughters, and so

00:32:20.190 --> 00:32:23.109
I was in an all -girl family. I had girl dog.

00:32:23.650 --> 00:32:28.150
I had a boy dog, but he was kind of act like

00:32:28.150 --> 00:32:31.190
a girl. You know, even as a puppy, he didn't

00:32:31.190 --> 00:32:33.650
learn how to hike his legs, so he squats because

00:32:33.650 --> 00:32:36.069
he learned from the girl dog. So listen, for

00:32:36.069 --> 00:32:39.180
the longest time... I was a Lone Ranger male

00:32:39.180 --> 00:32:43.299
in a female world, but that means I am in touch

00:32:43.299 --> 00:32:45.599
a little bit more with my sensitive side and

00:32:45.599 --> 00:32:48.819
my more vulnerable side and my emotions. I know

00:32:48.819 --> 00:32:52.579
that it can be hard for men to open up sometimes,

00:32:52.579 --> 00:32:55.200
but good word right there. Any other thing that

00:32:55.200 --> 00:32:57.900
you're like, Cory, if I was on your show, I don't

00:32:57.900 --> 00:32:59.400
think you've been begging to get on my show,

00:32:59.400 --> 00:33:02.140
but if you were like, there's something that

00:33:02.140 --> 00:33:06.180
I would love to share that we haven't talked

00:33:06.180 --> 00:33:09.490
about yet. Would you have anything else that

00:33:09.490 --> 00:33:13.809
you would like to share with us? Sure. I would

00:33:13.809 --> 00:33:16.730
say that because I mostly work with women and

00:33:16.730 --> 00:33:18.789
I'm so passionate about helping women, I would

00:33:18.789 --> 00:33:21.450
say that you don't have to suffer. That there

00:33:21.450 --> 00:33:23.670
is hope. If you're struggling with your health

00:33:23.670 --> 00:33:27.109
in any way, your physical health, there is hope.

00:33:27.130 --> 00:33:30.349
You don't have to suffer. I've seen it hundreds

00:33:30.349 --> 00:33:32.609
and hundreds and hundreds of women that I've

00:33:32.609 --> 00:33:35.069
coached that I personally myself went through

00:33:35.069 --> 00:33:38.630
the journey of healing and health and so Don't

00:33:38.630 --> 00:33:41.029
feel like you have to give up most women when

00:33:41.029 --> 00:33:43.329
they come to me They've tried all the quick fixes

00:33:43.329 --> 00:33:46.569
and the yo -yo diets and they say This is ash

00:33:46.569 --> 00:33:49.029
like you're my last ditch effort here. And if

00:33:49.029 --> 00:33:51.069
this doesn't work, then I'm just gonna go with

00:33:51.069 --> 00:33:53.369
suffering the way I am and I say good thing you

00:33:53.369 --> 00:33:55.549
came to me because this works so you know what

00:33:55.549 --> 00:33:58.410
there is hope you don't need to suffer and when

00:33:58.410 --> 00:34:01.069
we know better we do better so I would just really

00:34:01.069 --> 00:34:05.609
encourage the listeners to take the steps that

00:34:05.609 --> 00:34:09.449
they need to to feel better to get themselves

00:34:09.449 --> 00:34:12.349
going towards the direction they want to go and

00:34:12.349 --> 00:34:15.289
it's about progress not perfection but you do

00:34:15.289 --> 00:34:20.340
not have to suffer. Thank you for that So let's

00:34:20.340 --> 00:34:23.699
say that one of my listeners or a ton of my listeners

00:34:23.699 --> 00:34:26.360
wanted to take a first step and reach out to

00:34:26.360 --> 00:34:29.619
you What would they do? Where should they go?

00:34:29.679 --> 00:34:32.579
I know you talked about as a resource Some of

00:34:32.579 --> 00:34:34.659
those the social media sites and your website

00:34:34.659 --> 00:34:36.780
would they go to your website on the website?

00:34:36.840 --> 00:34:39.679
There is a contact tab that they can message

00:34:39.679 --> 00:34:43.969
me there. Also, I'm on Instagram daily, many

00:34:43.969 --> 00:34:46.030
times a day. I usually get to checking my messages

00:34:46.030 --> 00:34:48.010
and that kind of thing. So that's a great place

00:34:48.010 --> 00:34:51.070
to get a quick response from me is on Instagram

00:34:51.070 --> 00:34:54.650
or Facebook, more so Instagram. But yeah, just

00:34:54.650 --> 00:34:56.469
reach out and say, Hey, I heard you on Cory's

00:34:56.469 --> 00:34:58.510
show. That's the best way so that I have an idea

00:34:58.510 --> 00:35:02.190
of how we've connected. And yeah, that's a good

00:35:02.190 --> 00:35:06.070
place to contact me. Okay, I will drop some of

00:35:06.070 --> 00:35:07.909
the information in the supplemental guide on

00:35:07.909 --> 00:35:11.300
my website for this episode. Thanks for joining

00:35:11.300 --> 00:35:13.119
me today. I want to thank you from the bottom

00:35:13.119 --> 00:35:16.880
of my heart to you taking the time. I know in

00:35:16.880 --> 00:35:21.320
a busy day that you can't fulfill every request

00:35:21.320 --> 00:35:24.360
and you can't do everything for everyone and

00:35:24.360 --> 00:35:27.699
so you prioritize your time and so I'm just honored

00:35:27.699 --> 00:35:30.800
that part of your time has been spending it with

00:35:30.800 --> 00:35:33.179
us here today on Mind and Faith Matters. I also

00:35:33.179 --> 00:35:37.400
want to say I have some other topics that in

00:35:37.400 --> 00:35:40.179
the future that I think I'm going to come back

00:35:40.179 --> 00:35:42.199
to you. So would you be willing and if I'm putting

00:35:42.199 --> 00:35:44.659
you on the spot, we can edit this out. And if

00:35:44.659 --> 00:35:46.599
I'm not putting you on the spot, just keep it

00:35:46.599 --> 00:35:51.820
in the video or audio. But would you be willing

00:35:51.820 --> 00:35:54.719
to come back as a guest to talk a little bit

00:35:54.719 --> 00:35:57.440
more about some of these items? Well, I have

00:35:57.440 --> 00:35:59.599
to say, Corey, first off, I really appreciate

00:35:59.599 --> 00:36:03.079
what you do and I have a huge respect that you

00:36:03.079 --> 00:36:05.139
work with mental health, but you have the biblical

00:36:05.139 --> 00:36:07.840
foundation for that because if God's not the

00:36:07.840 --> 00:36:10.380
centre, nothing really is going to actually heal

00:36:10.380 --> 00:36:12.519
and change. So thank you for what you do. I have

00:36:12.519 --> 00:36:15.320
huge respect for you in that. And so, of course,

00:36:15.519 --> 00:36:18.380
yes, I'm very passionate about this and I would

00:36:18.380 --> 00:36:21.019
be honored to be back on your podcast for sure.

00:36:22.039 --> 00:36:25.440
Great. Thank you so much. I want to thank everyone

00:36:25.440 --> 00:36:28.619
for joining us today. Go to mindandfaithmatters

00:36:28.619 --> 00:36:32.280
.com to get the supplemental resource guide for

00:36:32.280 --> 00:36:36.079
this episode. And we just both, from the bottom

00:36:36.079 --> 00:36:39.559
of our hearts I'm sure, want to thank you for...

00:36:39.880 --> 00:36:43.519
Listen to us today if this episode has encouraged

00:36:43.519 --> 00:36:47.119
you in any way or given you some inspiration.

00:36:47.639 --> 00:36:49.739
We want you to share that with others. I would

00:36:49.739 --> 00:36:52.300
encourage each and every one of you that has

00:36:52.300 --> 00:36:56.699
a need and you think your nutrition is somehow

00:36:56.699 --> 00:36:59.179
causing you some challenge. By the way, that

00:36:59.179 --> 00:37:01.679
should be every one of us because unless we're

00:37:01.679 --> 00:37:04.219
eating... in the right way, I'm sure we're not

00:37:04.219 --> 00:37:06.579
eating as clean as we can. I would love for you

00:37:06.579 --> 00:37:09.780
to give Elsa Martin some business. I don't think

00:37:09.780 --> 00:37:13.699
that was the purpose of your coming on my podcast

00:37:13.699 --> 00:37:17.000
or me having you on, but I do see the benefit

00:37:17.000 --> 00:37:19.039
of what you're offering and I just want to encourage

00:37:19.039 --> 00:37:21.920
people to give it a try. So thank you so much

00:37:21.920 --> 00:37:23.739
and everyone have a great day.
