How Ultra-Processed Foods, Spiritual Starvation, and Metabolic Chaos Are Keeping Us Sick, Addicted, and Deficient

We live in the most overfed yet undernourished generation in history. Surrounded by abundance but starved of meaning, Americans are hooked—not just on sugar and salt, but on speed, convenience, and emotional numbing through food.

In this episode, we confront the uncomfortable truth about our modern diets—and the physical and spiritual hunger driving us into chronic disease:

• Americans are hooked on fast, cheap convenience—and it’s killing us slowly
• We are spiritually starved but physically spoiled—surrounded by food, yet deeply malnourished in soul and body
• What really counts as an ultra-processed food, and how these lab-engineered items are linked to cancer, heart disease, and early death
• How ultra-processed foods are designed to be addictive and profitable, not nourishing
• What our ancestors ate—and what changed when we traded fermentation and fasting for factories and frankenfoods
• The diet food deception—why “low-fat” and “sugar-free” may be worse than the real thing
• Diabesity: how we got here, why so many obese individuals are nutrient-deficient, and how this paradox is manufactured
• The difference between BMI vs. real metabolic dysfunction—why lab work matters more than your pants size
• How poor gut health drives insulin resistance, cravings, and chronic inflammation—creating a vicious cycle that makes healing feel impossible
• And finally… Statin drugs: I have questions. Why are we medicating symptoms of a system-wide metabolic collapse?

“Why do you spend money for what is not bread, and your wages for what does not satisfy? Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good, and delight yourself in abundance.”
—Isaiah 55:2 (NASB)

This episode is a wake-up call to stop feeding a broken system and start nourishing what matters—your body, your faith, and your future.
