Elevated | Conversations About Health & Healing

God didn’t design your kids to be toxic — but this world sure tries from day 1.

In this episode, we’re talking about real, safe, practical drainage & detoxing for kids using CellCore, Rogers Hood, Energetics, and Standard Process.

Per my usual, I’ll give you the why, the how, and the bold truth: you can raise strong, resilient, detox-savvy kids without being the crunchy mom everyone rolls their eyes at (well… maybe just a little 😉).

Knowledge is Power. Make sure to share this with a loved one!

Guest: Todd LaVine, Founder of Agape Pastoral Ministries (Anoka, MN)

Host: Ellie Anderson, Elevated Conversations

A heartfelt and truth-filled conversation on what it means to build a “’til death do us part” marriage in a world that’s forgotten covenant — exploring God’s design for unity, healing, and transformation within marriage.

Description:

In this episode, Ellie sits down with Todd Ravine of Agape Pastoral Ministries to dive deep into the biblical foundations of marriage, practical tools for communication and conflict resolution, and how couples can renew their minds and restore their relationship through Christ.

With over two decades of ministry experience, Todd brings compassionate, Scripture-based wisdom to couples at every stage — from pre-marriage to reconciliation. Together, Ellie and Todd unpack the realities of marriage today, discuss cultural misconceptions, and share tangible ways to cultivate a covenant that reflects God’s heart.

If you’re married, engaged, or simply seeking to strengthen your relationship, this episode will leave you both convicted and encouraged.

Key Topics:

What “renewing your mind” really looks like inside marriage (Romans 12:2)

Rebuilding trust after conflict or betrayal

The role of leadership and submission in biblical harmony

Practical tools for communication, prayer, and intimacy

Why covenant matters (and how the world has gotten it backwards)

How to invite God back into the center of your relationship

In this episode, Ellie explores what it really means to age gracefully—without gimmicks, false promises, or unregulated shortcuts. Drawing from her personal wellness journey and integrative practice, she breaks down the science and spirituality behind true longevity. From peptides, NAD+, and hydration to sleep, mindset, and nutrient density, Ellie reveals how holistic biohacks can restore energy, vitality, and glow from the inside out.

She also teases upcoming episodes on trauma-informed healing, fertility, and chiropractic techniques—reminding listeners that aging well isn’t about reversing time, but about living in alignment with the body God designed.

Most people think mold is just a problem for old, damp basements—but the truth is far more alarming. In this episode, Ellie sits down with Vickie Swenson, certified mold inspector and founder of MN Mold Inspection, to uncover the hidden ways mold infiltrates our homes, our bodies, and even our minds. Together, they unpack why traditional testing and cleanup often miss the mark, how to recognize the subtle signs of mold toxicity, and what it really takes to heal your home and your health.

If you’ve struggled with unexplained fatigue, anxiety, inflammation, or “mystery symptoms,” this conversation could be the missing piece you’ve been searching for.
