VISIBLY FIT with guest JORDAN RUBIN

In this episode of Visibly Fit, Wendie Pett sits down with Jordan Rubin, Founder of Ancient Nutrition, one of America’s most recognized and respected natural health experts. He is the New-York Times best-selling author of The Maker’s Diet, 24 additional titles, and his latest release Essential Fasting.

At the age of 19, after living an active, completely healthy childhood, Jordan was suddenly diagnosed with Crohn’s disease. He went from being a 185-pound athletic young man to 104 pounds and in a wheelchair.

A year later, in the midst of a life or death struggle, Jordan met a man who encouraged him to follow a health plan taken directly out of the pages of the Bible. A plan proven through history and confirmed by science. Jordan committed himself to follow God’s wisdom for health and life, and in just 40 days his health was transformed.

Today, Jordan’s mission is to transform the health of this nation and world one life at a time.

Key Takeaways:

The Maker’s Diet. I met a man who told me if follow a health based on the bible, proven through history and confirmed by science I’d be well. I had tried everything, but not this. I think the faith that I had was married with hope, and that hope allowed me to give it one more shot.

Faith comes by hearing the word of God. Without faith it is impossible to please God. Faith without work or actions is dead. We can’t wait until we are healthy or wealthy or married or reach whatever goal we set, we must have faith in the midst of the storm in order to see it in action.

Speak life. Instead of focusing on the pain we get every 5 minutes, thank God for the 4 minutes we are free of that pain. Use faith not as a defense, but as an offense.

Intermittent fasting. Everyone can benefit from managing their building or eating and their cleansing window. Water fasting has been clinically proven to reduce lots of conditions of the brain and the body.

Farming the future. Many experts agree that if we do not change the way we farm, we only have 40-60 years left. Regenerative agriculture is the key to our future.

Grow something. Even something as simple as growing an indoor potted plant, learn and understand how to grow something.

Compost. 40% of the world’s food is wasted. Give it to a local farm. Instead of letting it be waste, let it add fertility to the soil that desperately needs it.

Eat local. Produce gets picked early because if it were picked ripe there wouldn’t be enough time to get it to market. Nobody advertises “truck ripened” produce, but that is most of what we have. The produce gets robbed of essential vitamins and minerals because of how early it gets picked.

Buy organic. Buy regenerative. Buy local.

Invest in farmland, regenerate something, grow something, you will never regret it.
