Stronger Together: Walking in Faith & Health
This past weekend, Lance and I had the absolute blessing of attending a marriage retreat, and wow—what an experience! 🙌 We will be sharing more about it soon, but I can tell you this: growing stronger together and walking closer with the Lord is our first priority. Marriage, like health, requires intentional work, and this retreat filled our hearts with wisdom we can’t wait to pass on to you. More to come on that soon!
Kicking Off an 8-Week Fasting Season 🚀
We are 48 hours into our clean 72-hour fast, and let me tell you—I can feel the ketones fueling my brain and body! This is Week 1 of 8 consecutive weeks of this fasting protocol, and we are embracing this challenge with gratitude and determination.
This fasting cycle is about cleaning up glucose, balancing hormones, and strengthening metabolic health. We’ve been here before, and we know the success it brings. This is not a punishment—it’s a gift we give to our bodies.
I won’t lie—since my heart attack, I have struggled with my meds, numbers, hormones, mental clarity, and weight. This season of fasting is my reset. I am done struggling, and I am committing to doing the work with consistency (check out our blog post on The Power of Consistency if you need a push!).
The Power of the Sardine Challenge 🐟
Before jumping into this fast, I completed a 5-day sardine challenge, and I am blown away by what it did for my hormones and ketone levels. I am SO grateful for the nudge from Dr. Boz to push from 3 days to 5—it was the exact stressor my body needed!
By the end of those 5 days, I felt:
✅ Stronger
✅ Clearer-minded
✅ More focused
✅ Ready to fast with ease
This is why understanding our chemistry is so important! When your body is ready, fasting is energizing. This is not starvation—we are fat-adapted and thriving! The only battle left is the head game—breaking habits, not hunger.
Encouragement for You 🙏
If you have been wanting to fast but struggle to make it past a few hours, don’t worry—you are not alone. The key is getting your chemistry ready first. Fasting isn’t about willpower—it’s about preparing your body to thrive on fat as fuel.
I have watched over 200 students in the 21-Day Metabolic Kickstart (21DMK) experience breakthroughs in weight loss, blood sugar control, and mental clarity. Watching their excitement as they realize just how much control they have over their health is why I love what I do.
📉 My glucose is dropping slowly and steadily. This is exactly what my body needed!
Current Health Stats:
- BG (Blood Glucose): 86
- BK (Blood Ketones): 2.2
- DBR (Dr. Boz Ratio): 38
Let’s Reflect Together
💬 Have you ever experienced the difference between true hunger and just wanting to eat out of habit? How do you handle cravings when they hit?
💬 What is one health challenge you want to tackle this month? How can you take the first step today?
Bible Verse for Encouragement
“But I discipline my body and keep it under control, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified.”
— 1 Corinthians 9:27 (ESV)
Fasting is a practice of self-control, discipline, and trust in God’s provision. It teaches us to listen to our bodies and trust the process. When we remove distractions and excess, we make room for clarity, healing, and growth—physically and spiritually.
🎵 Inspirational Song of the Day: “Raise a Hallelujah” by Bethel Music
This song has been my battle cry during seasons of struggle. If you’re in a fight for your health, your marriage, or your faith—raise your hallelujah and let God do the heavy lifting. You are not alone!
