It’s driving heart attack, stroke, fatty liver, Alzheimer’s (Type 3 Diabetes), and more.

This groundbreaking conversation delves into the impact of high-fat diets on your health. Dr. Cyrus explains why low-fat, plant-based nutrition works for reversing insulin resistance, how free radicals contribute to aging and chronic disease, and what makes amla the world’s most powerful antioxidant food.

We open up about why we took a break in 2020, how burnout led us to refocus on what truly matters, and why now, more than ever, we feel called to speak into your life with hope, truth, and practical wisdom for natural living, God’s way.  Inside this episode:
