  • From strength to strength!
    From strength to strength!

    In this quick episode, I'm diving into something I've been chewing on lately; the timeline of progress and the biblical idea of going from strength to strength (Psalm 84).

    Whether you're trying to grow in faith, fitness, business, or just life in general, this one's for you. Too many of us are chasing fast results but the truth is, anything that lasts takes time. It takes steady work, long-haul vision, and daily, intentional habits.
    Let's break the microwave mindset and build something real. 

    Listen to the full podcast and learn more about ; the cost of living in deficit and long-term thinking in your calling!

  • Thriving in menopause
    MENOPAUSE ISN'T THE END — IT'S A NEW BEGINNING.

    This episode is your wake-up call to stop accepting decline as normal and start taking ownership of your midlife health.

    If you're facing menopause, perimenopause, or post menopause and you're dealing with brain fog, weight gain, low libido, anxiety, poor sleep, or just feeling like a stranger in your body then this one's for you.

    Coach and pastor, Adam Braud walks you through real talk on hormone replacement therapy (HRT), nutrition, strength training, stress, sex, and why this chapter of life doesn't have to be the beginning of the end but can be your strongest season yet.

    What you'll learn:

     • Why cardio alone won't fix weight gain in menopause
     • The truth about HRT, estrogen, and testosterone for women
     • Why lifting heavy is essential for hormone health and longevity
     • How to eat for better energy, mood, and metabolic control
     • Sleep strategies that actually work for midlife insomnia
     • How to improve intimacy, communication, and connection in marriage
     • The importance of stress management and how to truly recover.

    You're not broken. Your body is just shifting. And you can shift with it. Start with one area; nutrition, hormones, movement, or recovery and stack small wins over time. This is about reclaiming your strength, honoring your body, and becoming the person God is calling you to be - not giving up on your health.

  • Visible Devotion Why Fitness Is More Than Vanity!

    Visible Devotion Why Fitness Is More Than Vanity!

    In this episode we dig deeper into how the Apostle of Grace, "Paul," still saw value in physical consecration. Not to earn anything, but to preserve his calling and to separate himself from the culture that surrounded him.

    That got me thinking….."In a world that normalizes indulgence, gluttony and laziness even within the church, it's time we reconsider what it means to be set apart." Your body isn't just a tool for survival, and it's definitely not a vanity project. It's the one thing God gave you to carry out your mission, to love well, to lead well, and to serve well.

    Stewardship of your physical health is not an interruption to your worship, it is worship. So maybe, it's time to say "NO" to some things. Maybe it's time to consecrate ourselves again, not because we're trying to earn grace, but because we get to offer God our best - spirit, soul, and body.

    Let's not just blend into a sick and struggling culture. Let's rise above. Let's look different, live different, and finish strong.

  • This Journey is too much for you

    This Journey is too much for you

    In this powerful message, we dive into the importance of self-care in ministry, using the story of Elijah to emphasize the need for rest, nourishment, and balance. Even after experiencing great victories, Elijah found himself exhausted and discouraged, needing to take a break before God could speak to him.

    Through this reflection, we are reminded that taking care of our physical bodies by getting enough sleep, eating properly, and exercising helps us stay strong in our faith and prepared for the journey God has for us.

    Whether you're in ministry, work, or just navigating the challenges of life, this video encourages you to listen to your body, recognize unhealthy patterns, and prioritize your well-being.

    In this episode, we also explore the misconception that faith alone can carry us through the intense physical demands of ministry, reminding us that it's not just about grace, but also about wisdom in maintaining our physical health.

    As Elijah needed rest, food, and time to heal before receiving clarity from God, we too need to take care of our bodies to hear from God and remain effective in our calling.Don't forget to like, comment, and share this video if it resonated with you!

  • Calories, Insulin, and Carnivore diets
    CALORIES, INSULIN and CARNIVORE DIETS

    In this episode, Adam dives into the crucial debate: Do calories really matter, or is it all about nutrients?

    He explores the science of energy balance and explains how calories, insulin, and nutrients are all essential in transforming your body. Whether you're aiming to lose fat, build muscle, or simply improve your overall health, this episode breaks down the science you need to make informed choices.

    Key highlights include:
    • Insulin Sensitivity: Learn how better insulin sensitivity supports muscle growth and fat loss by optimizing nutrient partitioning.
    • Diet Strategies: Discover the benefits of a high-protein, moderate-fat, and lower-carb diet for managing body composition and enhancing muscle growth.
    • Carnivore Diet: Understand how the carnivore diet can impact calorie intake, with a focus on how protein's thermic effect can help you burn more calories during digestion.
    • The Truth About Carbs & Muscle Growth: Find out why carbs aren't essential for muscle growth, and how protein intake plays a more significant role in building muscle.
    • Nutrient Partitioning & Insulin: Dive into how insulin affects nutrient delivery and how balancing your intake of protein, fats, and carbs can enhance muscle growth and fat loss.
    This is an in-depth breakdown of the relationship between insulin, muscle growth, and the role of diet in body composition, especially for those interested in bodybuilding and metabolic health.

    If you're interested in learning more about the science of diet, body transformation, and muscle growth, this episode has you covered!
