- Unwrapping the Truth About Holiday CravingsThis episode is sponsored by the Healthy Christian Woman Bootcamp. A 5-day virtual event that will change your life! Learn more: https://www.healthyformypurpose.com/healthy-christian-woman-bootcamp
Have you ever wondered why it feels so hard to resist unhealthy foods, even when you know they don’t serve your body? In this eye-opening episode, we explore how processed foods have hijacked our palates, creating addictions and cravings that keep us stuck in cycles of poor health.
We’ll dive into the science behind why processed foods are designed to be addictive, how they disrupt our natural cravings for nourishing foods, and why detoxing from these toxic foods is essential to reset both your body and mind. Drawing from biblical principles, we’ll highlight how taking control of your food choices honors God and aligns with caring for your body as a temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20).
We’ll also introduce Day 2 of the Healthy Christian Woman BootCamp, which focuses on breaking food addictions through detoxing from processed, addictive foods and leaning into whole, nourishing foods inspired by the Daniel Fast. If you’re ready to break free from unhealthy cravings and reclaim your health, this episode will inspire and equip you to take the first steps toward lasting transformation.

56 min - From Climate Heater to Climate Healer with Dr. Sailesh Rao
Sersie and Gigi explore the solution to healing the planet with Dr. Rao. Together they examine how eating like Daniel; going vegan impacts the environmental decline we are facing today.
Bio: Dr. Sailesh Rao is the Founder and Executive Director of Climate Healers, a non-profit dedicated towards healing the Earth’s climate. He is an environmentalist by occupation and systems engineer by profession. He invented the protocol for transforming early analog internet connections to more robust digital connections, while accelerating their speed ten-fold. Still today, any data accessed on the internet is likely passed through a device implementing this protocol.
He is also a Human, Earth, and Animal Liberation (HEAL) activist, husband, dad, and since 2010, a star-struck grandfather. He has promised his granddaughter, Kimaya, that the world will be largely Vegan before she turns 16 in 2026 so that people will stop eating her relatives, the animals. He has faith that humanity will transform to keep his pinky promise to Kimaya, not just for ethical reasons, but also out of sheer ecological necessity. He has been championing the Vegan Rewilding solution to our global environmental, health, and ethical crises since 2009.Facebook: @climatehealers
