Episode #152 Featuring Justin Roethlingshoefer!  Holy Health:  Habits and Rhythms to Heal Your Body and Transform Your Life!

I know that I say this often, but I want to reiterate how blessed I am for the people I get to interview and the friends that I am able to make.  I speak to people of all walks of life and get to talk about every topic known to man.  I can go back to every episode and still remember something that stood out to me, that really hit home and made an impact.  In saying that, I am always careful to ever say someone is my favorite guest or make it seem I prefer one of the others, that would be untrue HOWEVER when it comes to pure resonation and personal impact, my interview with Justin Roethlingshoefer hit me in an entirely different way.  His true grasp of utilizing his God given gifts, especially with regards to Wisdom has made an everlasting impact on me and will to all of you!  He is one of a kind and his voice is one that must be heard!

In our in depth discussion, we talked about faith, identity, discipline, accountability, and what it actually takes to transform your life from the inside out.  One of the biggest themes was the power of language. We discussed how the words we use—especially the words we say to ourselves—can either keep us stuck or move us forward. Justin shared a simple shift that hit me: replacing “I can’t” with “I choose not to.” That change forces us to take ownership of our choices instead of hiding behind excuses. We also got deep into stillness, prayer, breath work, and learning to listen.  Justin explained how God and our bodies often speak in whispers, but it is hard to hear either when life is filled with distraction and noise.  A major part of our discussion was transformation. We both agreed that it is not a one-time event—it is a lifelong process. Real discernment, wisdom, and freedom come after we begin changing our habits, renewing our minds, and getting honest about the things that pull us away from who God called us to be.  We talked about accountability and ownership too.  We then moved into a discussion on how sleep, nutrition, movement, recovery, heart-rate variability, and nervous-system regulation all work together. We talked about why health cannot be one-size-fits-all, why extreme diet labels can become distractions, and why learning to understand your own body is more valuable than blindly following someone else’s rules. At the center of it all was this: health is not just about looking go
