FROM STUCK TO FREE | Fast to Faith® Masterclass Day 1

Welcome everybody! Oh my goodness, I'm so excited! How is everybody doing?

Yay!

I cannot wait to dive into this discussion. Why do you still feel stuck? I want you to put your name in the chat. I want to see who's here. Hello, hello! Uh, let me make sure I got my chat up. Hello, welcome everybody! I have a little spring cold and it's not going to stop my voice. Let's see, how is everybody doing? Oh my goodness. Okay, here's what I want. I want to hear how you are feeling stuck. Is it your weight? Is it your energy that's stuck in the gutter? Is it your motivation? It's nowhere to be found. Or your joy? Maybe your joy is stuck. It's gone. Put that in the chat. I want to hear from you. I want to know why you're here. I know people are going to be trickling in, but I am just jumping in because we don't have a lot of time, and I I want to help you get unstuck. Energy and joy. Oh my goodness, Madonna, you are in the right place. Joy and motivation. Ellen, yes. Energy and weight. Shelly, yes. Tracy, ladies, you are in the right room. I, I just want to shout out to you for taking a little bit of time for yourself today. We need to do that, and God honors that. I'm so excited. I was praying before we started, and I was trying to tell the Holy Spirit, tune me into the frequency of what I need to hear. And he kept saying 98.6, and I was like, that sounds like a radio station. He said, it is a psalm. And I went and read Psalms 98.6. And it was talking about the jubilant call to praise God, declaring with trumpets and the blast of a ram's horn, shout for joy before the Lord. I was like, okay, let's go, God. You want me to celebrate you and what we're doing this week. So, oh, it's gonna be so good. If you are struggling to just have any joy, to feel good, to feel motivated. You feel like a shell of yourself. You don't even know who you are anymore. This is the right room, okay? We're going to talk about this because it's not just being tired, it's not just being stress. Sometimes it's like deeper than that. It feels like an exhaustion that doesn't go away, you know, when you sleep 10 hours. I have been there multiple times. The hormones that you're just like, who am I? I feel like I don't even know who I am anymore. The weight that won't budge, the bloating, the brain fog, the mood swings. Sometimes it feels like you're losing your mind, right? And then we get dismissed, yeah, you're crazy. Um, some of you on here, you're dealing with crazy periods or no period at all, or waking up at 3 AM or hot flashes. Or, you know, you have a thyroid problem and your doctor says it's fine, or you're having joint pain that doesn't make any sense, or skin issues, depression that keeps creeping in. I wanna hear in the chat, how long have you been carrying that? How long have you been struggling with whatever it is you were like, yep, that's me. If the answer is more than a few months, you're in the right room today. And I want you to hear that before you go any further, because you're not lazy. I don't believe that. You're not being dramatic. You're not crazy. You're not just getting old, and your body isn't broken. Our approach is. Okay, so today we're gonna see exactly why that is. I'm really excited. Oh my gosh, 2 months, 2022, 5 years. Oh my gosh. Yeah, you guys, I was miserable for over a decade. I feel this. It— and like Ashley's saying, sometimes it comes and goes. So we have got to figure out— there's something deeper going on. I cannot wait to unpack this because most of you have been to a doctor or multiple doctors. You've had the labs drawn. You've been told the same thing over and over. Everything looks normal. But here's the truth. It's telling you you're fine. That is not a diagnosis. It's a dismissal. You deserve better than that. And the willpower approach, that's the one that I struggled with most recently. That fails us too. You don't have to white-knuckle it, but you've tried. You've tried to just push through. You've tried the diets, you've done the cleanses, you've done the 21-day challenges. And maybe you lost some weight and felt a little good for a minute, right? But then you gain it all back and you feel worse than before you started. That is what The Biggest Loser proved. Most of them gained it all right back because you cannot punish your body into lasting change. Willpower is not the problem. Patterns are. Patterns live in your body. They live in your mind. And so before we dive into what I want to share with you, I just want to kick it off with some testimonials, because when I read that Psalm 98:6, God was like, I want you to just give me some glory for all the good that you're doing. So I'm going to share my screen really quick. Um, yes, it's a lot of clicks. And all the buttons.

And I had been doing workouts, working out every day, but still just feeling miserable. I was uncomfortable, I was inflamed, just so discouraged getting up early to work out. Thought I was eating healthy at the time. I wasn't. I wasn't doing what I should have been doing. Now I know that, but I just felt so lost and frustrated. And then when I saw I saw her post, I was curious. I just cried. My face was so inflamed. So as I started to make the changes, and, you know, probably the biggest shift for me was at that time I didn't really have a relationship with God. I taught Sunday school. I'd been very involved in my church for years and kind of, um, stepped away from that a bit. And so I was kind of lost spiritually too, I think, and So a big part of that shift was finding you and adding in the morning Lefty Odeena. That's where I think I felt the biggest change. And then from there, adding in the food changes and the working out and listening to my body with working out. I think I was working out too hard for what I should have been or working out the wrong way. And so now knowing that, so now feeling that shift in my body and knowing when to rest. Dr. Tabatha Barber, I have read every nutritional book. I have tried every diet and they would all work. When I was 20 years old, we moved to Virginia from West Virginia and I gained 65 pounds over 2 years and it took me a long time to lose it. And I would do programs for a while. I did Suzanne Somers and I had, you know, success with that. But then after a while, my sugar addiction would take over and I didn't gain all the weight back, but I gained a little. I did Weight Watchers. I failed miserably at Weight Watchers. I've done Whole30, and I was able to do that for a while and lost some weight, but my sugar addiction would kick back in again. So this is the first time I've been able to beat my sugar addiction, and I feel like I'm winning and I have control.

That is so powerful. All right, let's go. Okay, I just Oh, so good. Before I show you the biology, I want to tell you a story. There was a woman. She had been sick for 12 years. 12 years of bleeding. 12 years of spending everything she had on physicians and getting worse, not better. The Bible says she had suffered greatly at the hands of many doctors. She spent all she had, and she was no better. She was worse. I know that sounds familiar for some of you, right? She was not supposed to be in the crowd that day. Her condition made her ceremonially unclean. The law said that you, you can't touch anyone, you can't be in, in the area. She had every reason to stay home. She had every reason to give up. 12 years of evidence that nothing worked, but she pressed through anyway. She didn't ask for a consultation. She didn't wait for an appointment. She didn't fill out intake forms and hope that a doctor had time for her. She pressed through the crowd. She reached out her hand and touched the hem of Jesus's garment, and immediately— I'm saying immediately— she was healed. Jesus felt power go out from him, and he stopped and he asked, 'Who touched me?' Of course he knew who touched, but she came forward trembling and told him the whole truth. Jesus said to her, 'Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering.' This is Mark chapter 5. I want you to sit with that for a moment. This woman did not get healed because she had perfect theology. She didn't get healed because she never doubted. She didn't get healed because, you know, she kept looking for new doctors. She got healed because she believed healing was possible and she put herself in proximity to the source of it. She believed, she moved, and she reached. That's it. That's the whole formula. So I want to ask you something. How long have you been suffering? You guys are like 7 years with rheumatoid, 16 with psoriasis. That's insane. That breaks my heart. 4 years. All these— it is way too long to live a miserable life. Jesus came to give us life and life to the full. In the here and now. Some of you, it hasn't been 12 years, but maybe you can't even remember what it felt like to wake up with energy, to feel comfortable in your body and not be at war with yourself by 10 AM. Okay, I know you've spent money, I know you've spent time, you've seen the doctors who've dismissed you, and somewhere along the way you started to wonder if healing was even available for for you.

It is.

I'm so glad you're in this room because just like that woman, you're gonna have to believe it's possible, and you're going to have to put yourself in proximity to the teaching that can actually help you. That is what the Fast to Faith Sisterhood is. That is what my girls will be talking about on the videos today. It is the crowd. It is the community of women pressing toward healing together. You cannot heal in isolation. God did not design you to be alone. He designed healing to happen in community with his word, his spirit, and women who understand where you have been. Okay, we're gonna jump to Luke 5. I'm gonna read this and then we're gonna talk about it 'cause this is, like, your mind's gonna be blown today, ladies. When God revealed this to me, I just cried. I was like, oh my gosh, God, this is so good. Okay. No one pours new wine into old wineskins, otherwise the new wine will burst the skins, the wine will run out, and the wineskins will be ruined. No, new wine must be poured into new wineskins. So before we had glass bottles, we had leather wineskins, and the wine would ferment and the gas would cause expansion in that. And so if you try to put it into an old wineskin, there's no room for expansion or growth, and they would burst with the new wine. So let's talk about how does this translate directly into your life. You cannot pour a new lifestyle program into an old belief system. You can get the best protocol in the world, the perfect meal plan, the perfect fasting window, the perfect supplement stack. But if you don't pour that into a new belief system, it will burst. You have to pour it into a system that you say you deserve it. That you are capable of lasting change. Otherwise, it will not hold. The wine pours out, the wineskin breaks, and you exact— end up exactly where you started, wondering what's wrong with you. Ladies, nothing is wrong with you. The container's the wrong size, that's all. Okay, here's what no one's telling you. You will always self-sabotage back to the life you believe you deserve. And this, I'm not talking about conscious thought, I'm talking about subconscious. You are not even realizing what you believe about what you deserve, what your container is capable of carrying. So hear this again, you will always return to the life you believe you're capable of living. It's not weakness. It's not a lack of discipline. It's the brain doing exactly what it was designed to do, returning you to what is familiar, to what it believes is safe, to the identity it has built over decades of experience and wounds that may have not been fully healed or that you're aware of. This is why The Biggest Loser contestants gained it all back. This is why you can white-knuckle a program for 21 days and be back where you started by day 30. The protocol was new, the wineskin was old. So I'm like, gosh, God described this 2,000 years before neuroscience even had a word for it. Okay, let's talk about Romans 12:2. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is. His good, pleasing, and perfect will for your life. That word transformed in the Greek is metamorpho. It is where we get the word metamorphosis. That is why there is a butterfly, a cocoon, and a caterpillar on the front of my book. This is not a tweak, it's not an adjustment, it's a fundamental restructuring of what you are. Because we start out as caterpillars. We can crawl on the ground, we can see the land in front of us, but what we can see is very limited. We do not see the whole world. We see right around our area. We turn into this cocoon, we turn into goo, and we come out an incredible butterfly who can fly and see the entire landscape, the sky, everything. The picture is so different than when you were a caterpillar on the ground. So God was describing this neuroplasticity before neuroscience had the tools to even see it. And here's what science now confirms: your thoughts produce chemicals— neuropeptides, neurotransmitters, all kinds of fancy words. These chemicals travel through your bloodstream and they dock, they bind to your receptors on every cell in your body. So your thoughts literally tell your cells how to behave. What you believe about your body is producing chemistry that either supports your healing or it blocks it. That means every time you say, "I'm always so tired," or "I will never lose this weight," or "This is just how I am," your body is listening and it's responding. When I stopped surviving and, you know, striving and started just surrendering, that's when my healing really began. Because peace calms the nervous system, trust lowers the cortisol. Our faith is not separate from biology. God designed them to work together. So if you say you will never lose weight, you won't. You are correct. Your body will always try to make sure your brain is correct, and it will hold up their end of the bargain. So whatever your brain is telling your body to do that is what your body will do. So the new wineskin is not just a better mindset. Like, there is some toxic positivity out there in the world right now, just self-help books like to no end. That is not new wineskin. It is scripture being able to do what it was designed to do. Not comfort you, but rewire you. So in Fast to Faith, we use this ancient practice from the 3rd century called Lectio Divina. Every piece of Lectio Divina is the mechanism for transformation, the activation of rewiring your mind to change your physiology, to change your outcome of your physical body. Okay, so cool. It's really incredible. Um, here's what conventional medicine is also missing. Hormone imbalance is almost never the cause of how you feel. It's the result. The real cause is deeper, and often it's sitting in our gut. When I was writing my first book, I realized I had chronic gut issues. Since childhood, and it was because I carried so much guilt and so much shame around my choices and my behaviors. I grew up in a very, um, confusing religion. I, I was made to feel guilty for just about everything. If I breathed, if I didn't breathe, if I moved, if I didn't move— like, I'm being— I'm exaggerating, but that's how it felt as a child. And so I stuffed all of these feelings into my gut. And the crazy thing is, God gives us this beautiful intuition, and most of us are too in tune with it. As children, you probably remember like looking at some older men and thinking, he's creepy, I'm going to stay away from him, or this doesn't feel like a safe situation, let me leave. Or you just were drawn to certain people because they felt safe. That was your intuition, that was the Holy Spirit speaking through you. And so there's this incredible gut-brain connection going on, and the truth of it is the disease happening in your gut is coming from your brain and your spiritual life, and vice versa. So let's talk about some basic physiology. When your gut lining breaks down, because it does, uh, from our daily stress, the horribly toxic processed food that we're now eating in this day and age, the, um, chemicals in our environment, the perfumes, the cleaning products, the makeup all the things, all those toxins, the plastics, the birth control pills, the antibiotics, the years of running on empty— can I get an amen? Your body loses its ability to regulate everything. The tight junctions in your gut lining are supposed to be selective. They're supposed to open and close depending on who gets to come in. They're supposed to let nutrients in and keep everything else out, but they get broken and that's called leaky gut. Undigested food particles get in, bad bacteria, toxins, they get into your bloodstream. Your immune system, in an effort to protect you, goes on high alert and starts reacting and responding. And this creates inflammation throughout your entire body. That inflammation is the beginning of this just crazy cascade. And so here's where it affects us as women. And, um, this gets glossed over a lot in conventional medicine. Your gut has specific bacteria called the estrobilome. Their entire job is to regulate how your body metabolizes and clears estrogen. When your gut is healthy, estrogen clears properly. But when your gut is dysbiotic— there's the wrong bacteria living in there, all the things— estrogen that should be leaving your body gets reabsorbed back into your circulation. This creates estrogen dominance. Estrogen dominance causes weight gain, bloating, mood swings, crazy periods, brain fog, and it suppresses your thyroid. Oh my goodness, that makes everything worse because your thyroid is the master gland, and most women with thyroid dysfunction have Hashimoto's and they don't know it. That is an autoimmune condition where your immune system attacks your own thyroid tissue. And what triggers that? Leaky gut. So you can start to see this vicious cycle happening. Your doctor may have checked the TSH level, but did they check for thyroid peroxidase antibodies? Did they check for thyroglobulin antibodies? Did they check your total and free T4, total and free T3, reverse T3, the vitamins and minerals that are necessary for thyroid hormone conversion? So much of it. So treating the thyroid, which is what most people have done to them, without healing the gut is like putting a Band-Aid on a wound that is bleeding. It's not going to stop it. Like the— it just bleeds through the bandage. Okay. And here's the stress piece, because we're all stressed. Just because we're all doing something doesn't mean it's normal. It means it's common. When you're under chronic stress, and that stress could be internal, actually, from viral infections, unknown gut infections, fungal infections, autoimmune responses, vaccines, all kinds of different things. This stress affects your brain. You have multiple glands in your brain, your hypothalamus, your pituitary gland, and they talk to your adrenals and they say, we need more cortisol production, pump, pump, pump. I'm going to get into this a lot tomorrow. You're going to be like, whoa, elevated cortisol. Follow me on this. Raises blood sugar. So you don't even have to eat a donut to have high blood sugar. You can just be pumping out too much cortisol. Elevated blood sugar causes insulin to go up. Elevated insulin is a fat-storing hormone. It tells your body to store that sugar as fat, especially around your belly. And high cortisol further suppresses your thyroid. And the worst part, it steals the building blocks you need to make progesterone. So now you have low progesterone, high estrogen, higher cortisol, lower thyroid, more blood sugar, more fat storage, and a gut that just gets leakier and leakier every time your cortisol spikes, because cortisol increases that intestinal permeability. That's what we call leaky gut. So this is not aging. We gotta quit accepting that as the answer. This is a cascade. It started in your gut, and the stress keeps it going. And I'm going to tie it back to the Bible yet again. It's so good. Genesis 2:7 describes the gut-brain connection. God breathed life into Adam through his nostrils. That is what differentiates us from all the other animals, because we are an animal. But he didn't breathe his breath into the cows. He breathed in into the nostrils of Adam. That first breath activated the vagus nerve. There's actually two vagus nerves on both sides, and it is the superhighway between the gut and the brain. God designed that connection. He designed healing to happen through it because 90% of your serotonin, the feel-good neurotransmitter that tells your brain you're happy, and motivated is made in your gut. 70% of your immune system lives in your gut. So when your gut is inflamed, your brain knows it. You suffer mood swings, your sleep suffers, your ability to think clearly suffers. But here's the part that a lot of doctors don't say. That vagus nerve, those vagus nerves, they run both ways. So when you are in a state of peace, when your nervous system is in rest and digest instead of fight or flight, healing signals travel down that highway and your gut begins to repair. Faith and getting into the word of God literally changes your biology. God designed this on purpose. It's so good, you guys. Okay, what else? Let's take a break from the cascade, but I want to talk. What does it take to break that vicious cycle? It takes all three aspects of you getting into alignment— spirit, mind, and body. They all have to work together. We are really taught in this broken world to focus only on our body if we want to change our physical body, or only work on our mental health if we're struggling mentally. And, you know, spirit stuff, you just keep that in church on Sunday, that has nothing to do with anything. And that is a recipe for disaster. That is why so many of us stay stuck. So it starts with stopping the assault on your gut. We do progressive fasting that works with your hormones. As a woman, you're not a little man. You are different. God created you differently. You know, he did make you from the rib of Adam, so you have a lot of aspects that are like a man, but you are not a man. You are special. You are unique. You're set apart. And we have to come at this not as a punishment, not as a deprivation, but in a loving, receptive way. And Fast to Faith is actually a protocol that lowers inflammation. It is an anti-inflammatory food plan that gives your gut lining time to heal. The daily Lectio Divina that I talked about, meditating on scripture, it literally begins to rewire your thought patterns because you cannot heal a stressed body with a stressed mind. So when you create new patterns and new beliefs, then your body starts listening and behaving accordingly. So what I've come to realize is that Romans 12:2 is not just the verse. I mean, it is the foundation of the program, but it is the protocol. Okay? And then we need to address the cascade of all the, the physiology. So we heal the gut lining with targeted nutrition and fasting. We support the liver so it can clear your hormones. We give your adrenals what they need to stop stealing from your thyroid. We optimize your blood sugar, bring that down so cortisol can finally calm down. Fast to Faith isn't a diet, it is a complete faith metabolic restoration, and it works because it treats that whole body, like I said. And here's the way it works: spirit first, then mind, and then body. So I didn't learn this as an OB-GYN. I practiced that for over a decade. I'm so grateful that I delivered all the babies. The— I have so many amazing memories, and I was there for so many beautiful miracle moments. Women getting pregnant that, you know, the world told them they couldn't, and I was like, no, believe God for a baby if you want. I helped them through some of the darkest times, and that was a beautiful, beautiful thing. But for me to heal from the burnout of that job, I had to study functional medicine. I studied for 2 years. I became certified. I studied menopause medicine, got certified in that. And you got— guys, I still couldn't figure it out. I was like, I have all the information in the world. One of my mentors, Sam Horn, calls it infobesity. We are fat with information. We have so much information, it's coming out of our ears. You can little— you can Google and ChatGPT anything, anything you want in seconds, but that does not give you transformation. Information is not transformation. So God has really just been driving this home to me over the past 6 years. You have got to help them create a new wineskin. You've got to help them change their beliefs, their identity, their thought patterns. That is what will change their body. That is how they will heal. That is how they will feel better in a sustainable way for the rest of their lives. Because I promise you, God did not create you to go to the doctor every 4 to 6 weeks and have all the procedures and be on 5 or 10 medications. That is not how the body was created. There's no way we would have lived as a civilization for thousands of years if that was the case, because that medical protocol, that is less than 100 years old. So what have we been doing for thousands of years that has, has sustained us, has gotten us to almost 8 billion people on this planet. We have to get back how God designed us to be and function. That is the truth of it. So I came to this crossroads a few years ago. I was like, God, women have to pay me money to work with them. And at this point, because I'm so busy, because I have been through so much. Women pay a lot, and I don't say that out of ego. I say that because they're paying for my experience, not my hourly rate. They're paying, you know, thousands of dollars because I have been through some stuff and I know what works and what doesn't. I don't waste their time. But not everybody can do that, so I had to create this group program that every woman could afford, and I'm really just in awe every single day watching how it has blossomed and transformed in and of itself. It started out pretty darn basic 3 years ago, and it has just evolved into the most beautiful sisterhood of women who support each other, and, and they feel seen and heard because we're all going through this together. I promise you Like King Solomon says, there is nothing under the sun that has not happened before. There are women who are struggling just like you, and if you can connect with them, you'll get your hope back. You will realize that there is a better way to live. You can see them on the other side. They have come out of the fire. The cool thing about being in the fire is that you come out pure gold. That adversity burns away all the impurities. It gets rid of everything that you no longer need, and you just come out shining better on the other side. But you need to be able to see that that's even possible. So that is what I'm showing you today. It is absolutely possible. Okay, here's another thing I really want to highlight and hit home on. And some of you, this is going to be a real big aha for you. We talk about— we don't talk about losing weight in this program. We talk about releasing it, because losing weight is a scary thing to your subconscious. Your subconscious is so literal. It's like a computer program. It will literally, like, does what you say it's gonna do. And it knows the word loss or lose is a scary word. So your subconscious is, like, trying to fight and get back what you're losing. We don't want to lose it. That, that means we've lost something. That's scary. So changing your language around things is part of this restructuring, renewing of your mind, development of a new wineskin. So if you want to release excess weight that you're carrying around, that actually feels like freedom. Your subconscious is on board because yes, we want to release. We don't want to carry extra stuff. Release means you're happy that it's gone. You're not looking for it, trying to get it back. And this is a different relationship with your body. So we have to start using different language, different words. And some of you might be like, that's not a big deal, whatever. I promise you, the word is everything. Read the first sentence in your Bible. Read the Book of John. Okay, our created world, our universe, our Earth, our plants, our animals, us, was created by the word of God. He thought us up and then he spoke us into existence, and he gives us that same ability. We get to speak our life into existence. So our words have power. That is why the Book of John says Jesus is the Word. The Word became flesh. The Word was with God. The Word was God. Through him all things were made. Like, the Word is everything, you guys. And so we have to start paying attention to our language. We have to be intentional. We have to speak out the future self that we want, the future life that we want. God gave us free will. He gave us the ability to create. We are made in his image. The first thing it says in Genesis is God is a creator, and he created us to be like him. So we get to create our reality. You are creating your reality every single day, and unfortunately, the majority of us do it on default mode. We create what we don't want by speaking death over our life. We create what we don't want by talking about what we don't want. All our fears, anxiety is just like seeing a future we don't want and trying to speak it into existence. And you're doing that unknowingly. I was doing that unknowingly. I was keeping my body stuck and in pain, overweight and exhausted because those are the words I was speaking every single day. So I could go on and on about this, but I know that you guys are having ahas on this and like, think about the words that you say to yourself, to each other, out loud. When people ask you how your day is, I'm fine, I could be better, I'm okay. Like, that's not life and life to the full. What are we doing? We have to get intentional, okay? But it's really hard if you're doing this alone, so you gotta get in the crowd. Remember the woman pressing through the crowd? She didn't get home and try and figure out all this on her own. She got in proximity to the source. Okay, so in Fast to Faith, we have weekly live calls. I run these calls, I answer all of the medical questions, but I don't want you fat with information. I want to motivate you and not just inspire you, but help you transform, help you have breakthroughs, help you get to that next better version that God's calling you to be, that you know you're capable of deep down inside. You just have to tap into her, break the lies off. Then in the program, you get a certified Fast to Faith coach, a real woman trained by me personally. I teach her all the functional medicine pieces, all the identity pieces, all the brain rewiring framework. You get to check in with her before you even start the program. You guys have a plan for who you want to be. She checks in on you weekly. She holds you accountable. She is the reason women finish what they start, and she is yours the moment you sign up to Fast to Faith. So it's really powerful. And then there's the Sisterhood Community. It's this community of women healing alongside of you.

Care—

they carry the belief for you on the days that you can't believe it for yourself. Like, they are in there praying and they are believing for you. So I want to show you some of their videos because it, it just fills my heart and it gets me pumped up and excited for you. So let's go.

My illness is coming back full-blown and I just didn't want to live like that again. I just didn't think I could do it. I just asked, I need some answers, I need help. And so I was listening to a podcast, um, from a Beachbody coach and you were the guest and you were talking about your program that you were about to come out with, Fast Faith. And so I started listening to your podcast and everything that you said resonated with me and, and I did the program to the best of my ability and I have not been in any pain. I have not had any problems with gastroparesis since. And so I feel with full confidence that God has healed me through the 40-day program. First time I've pulled out any bathing suits since last year, and I had never tried them all on, and I had to bring 3 different ones, and the smallest one is what I wore. So I was like, okay, the one I wore last year, the only one I could wear last year is Going in the Goodwill pile because I can't wear it anymore. Woo! 54 pounds I'm down now. She has completely transformed her life in the last 5 weeks. She's released 18 pounds. She called me after the trip and she was like, "Hey." She's like, "I thought you were going to be all pushy and telling me what to do." She's like, "But you weren't. You were just open and you just listened." And she's like, "I tried everything. I have literally tried everything." I've done the shots, I've done the drugs, I've done this, I've done the packaged meals, I've done— I've starved myself, I've done everything. I cannot lose this weight. 18 pounds released later. That was 5 weeks ago. That feeds my soul. Like, that just makes me so happy. And she is not— she's no longer stressed. We got her plugging her phone in in the kitchen. She's stretching in the morning. She's sleeping better.

She's—

her relationships are better. Like, she herself has— she's done the work. She's transformed her life. But with what you taught me, I was able to see what it was that was tripping her up.

Oh my gosh, so fun, so good.

Okay, I love it.

I hope that, um, you got what you needed. Oh, you couldn't hear the video very well. Could you guys hear hopefully at all? Darn it. They're so good. Dang. Um, did you hear at all, Ashley?

Yeah, I just had a couple people messaging me privately to turn it up, so it must— but some people could, some people couldn't, so maybe.

Okay. It's really important that you guys have hope. That's all we have in life is hope, and for a long time, I, you know, was like, I have this program, it could help you. And I would just pray, God, um, let them find me so I can help them when they're ready. And God started to reveal to me that that was me not being humble but being afraid, me being worried about what others think. And he made it clear to me that I have the ability to answer women's prayers. People, you guys are praying for answers, for solutions, for resolution of your pain and your weight issues and your thyroid issues. And God was like, you have to step out in bold faith and believe that I gave you this program to help women, and you have to just be— step out like in full transparency and say, I have what you need. It's up to you whether you want to take it or not. But I have finally come to such peace with that, that I am not ashamed to say, here's what the investment is going to cost, here's what you need, because If I just keep teaching you stuff and you don't actually change and you don't actually get better, I'm doing you a disservice. I have hurt you and I've contributed to the problem. And so yeah, I am great, I'm excited, I'm, you know, horns ablazin' like Psalm 98:6 told me of, like, I am excited to share my 40-day program. I am excited to offer it to you, to say to jump in. We're starting next week. We were like, should we give them a whole week to prep and get ready, or should we just dive in next Monday? And you know what, we cannot waste any more time. I live in Michigan. I don't know about y'all, but we get like 5 minutes of warmth. It is warm like July and August, so we're starting to feel it a little bit, and I want to feel comfortable in my bathing suit, in my shorts when that weather warms up. And so we need to dive right in because we don't get our time back. You can always get more money, more resources, but you cannot ever get your time back. My son graduated a year early from high school this year. I got a year taken away from me that I did not know was gonna happen. That felt like I got robbed. And that could happen to you. You could break your ankle. My daughter just broke her foot and she's lost 8 weeks of her life because she hasn't been able to work or be mobile or do things. And I'm just like We have got to get into action. If we keep waiting, we cannot get that time back. We just can't. So I really want you— if you have been praying for an issue to be resolved and I have touched on this today, I want you to just ask the Holy Spirit Is this what you want me to do? Is this for me? And he might not tell you verbally. You might not hear a voice. It might be a peace that you just feel inside of yourself. It might be a surprise text from a friend. It might be your husband texting you to say, I hope you're feeling good today. That— those kind of answers from God we need to pay attention to, and we need to just dive in and do— like, we need to accept the gift that God gives us. He answers our prayers and we don't even acknowledge the darn answers half the time. So let me dive in, let me share my screen again. We're going to go over everything because some of you need this program. I feel it like deep in my bones, it is for you. I have countless testimonials. I I probably watched 50 testimonials this past weekend preparing for this masterclass, and I couldn't stop crying because like God is doing so much amazing work through this program. I cannot take credit for it, ladies. It is so good. Okay, let me share again. I don't need to share my sound.

Okay.

So it is a 40-day program. You do have 60 days of access because we know people go on vacations, people don't start right away, people have, you know, colonoscopies done or whatever. Like there's always some kind of hiccup. You get a one-on-one coach. Like I said, I truly believe this changes everything because someone is praying over you. They are caring about you. They're checking in with you. And they have been through this. They have been there where you are right now. So you get the weekly calls with me as a group. Every single day you're gonna just do like 5 minutes of Lectio Divina. It's magical. That is literally how you develop a new wineskin. You will be shocked. You just will. Like, I, I hear it every time. I had no idea. I feel so much peace. It's incredible. It is an intermittent fasting program. It is not deprivation. It's not about eating less. It's about eating less often and being strategic in a way that your body was designed to function. So I'm going to teach you carb cycling for women, and it's, it's so powerful, okay? This is the journal that you're going to use every day for Lectio Divina. It is so powerful, and I didn't choose the scriptures. Literally, the Holy Spirit downloaded to me what scriptures to put in this 40-day while I was in Punta Cana 4 years ago— gosh, almost 5 at this point— when he downloaded this to me. And they're so powerful, women. Continuously have breakthroughs time and time again. So I love this picture. Ashley is the director of our coaching academy. Morgan is our nutritionist. She has a master's in functional nutrition. She is the recipe creator for our amazing recipes. Um, I just love this picture, so I use it to give you bonus gifts because Here's the thing. We live in a very toxic world, and even the cleanest anti-inflammatory food program isn't going to have the results long-term sustainably unless you decrease your toxic burden. So you need this bonus gift. It's going to be a game changer. We make it so simple for you to take care of. And then this is, this is like everybody's favorite, so we always have to throw this in. Read your own labs. We can help you get access to ordering your own labs so you don't need a doctor. But more importantly, what are the functional optimal ranges that you should be at? This guide will tell you that, and it will share these things with you of how to read your own labs. So women love this bonus. Okay, so there's so much I couldn't list it all, but these are the big ones. You get the 40-day, you get me every single week on the call, you get a certified coach checking in with you, you get all the bonus, um, guides. And then we do have a supplement line. They are the high— highest quality, physician-grade. You can only get them through a physician or functional provider, like going to an office. And so I have made them available to you publicly because they're that powerful. And so you get a discount code for any of those that you want to buy. So let's, let's make it super easy. This is a huge value, you guys. But we're gonna do $597 today. Uh, Ashley really wanted me to give a 2-payment option for those of you who just want to be able to pay with last week's paycheck or whatever. So you can just do $325 today and start on Monday. It, it's bonkers to me that we can offer it at this price, but God has like really laid it on our hearts You have to make it affordable. You have to get women in there because as soon as they start, they're going to see the transformation. It just, it really kicks in pretty quickly. Usually by night 5 or 6, women are sleeping better. Their energy starts to come back and everything shifts. It's amazing.

The biggest long-term gain that I have gained Gosh, I don't know if I can narrow it down to just one. I think the biggest thing for me is just learning that we are spirit, soul, and body, and that the aspect of living intentionally with all of that together in coherence with one another is huge. I've gained friendships, I've gained meal plans, I've gained the right way to live, the right way to exercise. I've gained so much more than just one thing, but it would probably be narrowed down to learning how to align my spirit, soul, and body. Do not hesitate. Jump in with both feet. Do not think about it anymore. If God is nudging you to do it, just jump in and do it. You will not regret it. It is the best thing that I have ever done. It literally encompasses every part of our being. So I say go for it.

Oh my goodness, I love Melissa. She's the best. Okay, so we're going to close up. I want you to think about this one more time. The, the woman with the issue of blood. She had been suffering for 12 years. You guys told me how long you were suffering. She spent everything she had. She tried every physician. Something in her said, if I could just get to Jesus, if I could just get in proximity to the source, I would be healed. And she pressed through. So today I'm asking you, what would it be worth to finally stop suffering? Not to manage it better. Oh my goodness. Not to cope more gracefully, but to actually break the cascade and come out on the other side. Okay, what would that take? You can change your body and your life if you believe it and receive it. You're not pouring this into an old wineskin. That's what we're doing differently. The daily Lectio Divina that we're going to do, the calls, the sisterhood community— those are building your new wineskin first. And then the protocol, it pours into this new container that you can finally hold that new version of yourself. Okay, so can we put the link in the chat, Ashley? Because I need women to sign up. We're, we're only going to offer this till midnight, and I've never done this before. It's not a pressure tactic, you guys. It's because you either know that you need this and you want to do this, or you don't. Like, that's just what it is. And so I want you to— I want to reward action takers. I want to reward people who are being decisive. I always think about Jesus asking the paralyzed man, do you want to get well? And when he finally says yes, Jesus says, pick up your mat and go. Pick up your mat and go. Like, get into action. Boom. Just like that. There's no discussion. There's no like, well, let me— show me how that's gonna work, Jesus. Can you get me a cane? He's like, stand up and go. And so I've decided God told me to do this. Like, every— I would just follow the Holy Spirit's lead on this. And tomorrow I'm actually doing a master class where we're going to open up something different. It's for a different woman. Um, so I really want you to just decide, because you're not what you feel, you are what you decide. You're one decision away from a better future. So don't ask yourself what What's the cost of doing this? Ask yourself, what is the cost of not doing this? What is the cost of not doing it? What will life look like and feel like next New Year's Eve with your New Year's resolutions? Or what will summer look like because you didn't want to put shorts on? It's going to be more of the same or even worse.

I—

it breaks my heart because it's so unnecessary and It's just a little investment, but you cannot get your time back, okay? I love you. That is why I'm offering this to you. If you're still unsure, show up tomorrow. We're gonna really talk about some really cool things for you. But if you are feeling the nudge, I would encourage you to just be obedient and trust, okay? Let's go back to Romans 12:2. It's 1 o'clock. Do not conform to the pattern of this world. The pattern of this world is we all stay broke together, the economy's killing us, um, we're all getting sicker, we're all getting fatter, but I guess that's just how it is. No, we do not conform to that. We get transformed by the renewing of our mind. It's actually a command in the Bible. This is not a verse, it's a prescription. And I hope that you will start with us. I am so excited to help you build a new wineskin and to contain your new amazing, healthy, thriving life, ladies. Okay, so good. Let's go! I love it. I Ashley can say if you guys have questions. Did you drop that link in the chat?

Yeah, couple times.

Yeah, before you leave, I want to read Bethany. I am on day 9 of the 40-day program. Whoops. I want to share that while I have been releasing weight since last fall, I knew I needed help with my mind-body connection, and the Lectio Divinas each day are really powerful. Yes, definitely serving me well, and I'm just getting started. Oh, I love that. She's only on day 9, you guys. It's so good. Oh yes, I'm reading these things in the chat. People being told their, their anxiety has nothing to do with their body. Oh, or it's just part of aging. You guys, I promise you it's all connected. I promise you. And you cannot break through and heal one without dealing with the other. So you have to have this piece of it. You have to bring Jesus into your health journey. That's just how it is. So if anybody on here wants to give some testimonies— I know we're over time— that would be beautiful. I know there are a few people in here who have been in the program. If you have to go, I completely understand, um, but I want this for you because I know what's possible for you, and I'm just— I'm excited to offer it. I'm so excited. I, I just stand behind it absolutely. You want your money back, I'll give you your money back. Like, there's just no question. The program works if you work it. If you actually get into the word, the Bible says it is the living, active word of God. It is nourishing. Jesus is our daily bread. It nourishes us. It renews our mind. It heals us. But I, y'all, I was afraid of the Bible. It was scary. It was overwhelming. I grew up in this Catholic church with big fancy statues, and the priest read the Bible.

Like, I didn't read Bible.

That's how I was taught. And so when God started telling me to crack open that Bible, I was like, where do I start? All these names I can't pronounce, these men who I can't relate to, what is happening? And so he revealed to me these scriptures that speak to every woman, and they speak to you in such a loving, inviting way of I am a loving God. I care about you. I'm actually a good, good father. Not the father that a lot of us had, but a father who never lets you down, who never leaves you or forsakes you. And when I started to just meditate on those, the Bible didn't feel so distant or cold or overwhelming. It felt like, oh my gosh, I can actually get to know my father. And so I just, I share that honestly with you.

It's—

I'm not even embarrassed by it. That is my— that is the truth of how my life played out. I didn't really get into the Bible a lot, and when I did, it was magical. But I had to go through these 40 days. I had to just read one little scripture at a time to start to trust and start to see his promises for me and that he is making a way for my future. You know, he instilled into me Jeremiah 29:11 way back in the day, that he's got plans for me, a hope and a future. And that's how I became a doctor. That's how we went from high school dropout, teen mom on Medicaid food stamps, to becoming a triple board certified physician. But I had to just get into one scripture at a time. And God is such a good God, he will reveal to you only what you can handle in the moment. So it's like an onion, he just keeps revealing more layers. He keeps revealing to you, this is what we're going to work on now, and this is what we're going to work, and this is why you've been struggling for 30 years with this and for 10 years with this, and this is your patterns over here of why you keep doing something. And it's beautiful that women don't just come in here and heal their Hashimoto's and their gut issues or their hormone imbalances and start sleeping. They literally start to heal marriages and fractured relationships with their children. They get promotions at work. Like it affects your whole life. It's, it's incredible. So thank you for sharing, um, your time with me. I'm so honored. I'm so grateful. I hope this has served you. If you don't sign up, I hope you had an aha today. I know you had some kind of golden nugget that you are gonna do something different going forward because the Holy Spirit was speaking through me to you today and I would love for you to share that with us. So I will see you tomorrow. Thank you, ladies.

I can stay for a couple minutes. Does anyone have any questions that they want to be— they want to ask? We have a lot of coaches on here, so if you don't want to ask me, you can ask them too. Anyone? Otherwise, yes, Lisa, you keep thinking about it.

This is Emily. I've got a question.

Yeah, hey Emily.

So, uh, I have her book, which I started reading. Is following the book as good as joining the program if one follows the book?

That's a hard question for me to answer. You can absolutely follow it in the book. You just— you're going to be missing out on the weekly Lectio Divina, um, live call and Q&A with Dr. Tabatha Barber, having a personalized coach and getting the personalized plan. Um, so yes, you can give it a try. A lot of women try it, do that on their own, and then they come into the 40-day program live with a coach and with the Monday calls, get the community and all the support. So the answer is yes, you can, but it is next leveled with doing it live with a coach.

Okay. And do you give discounts to missionaries?

Um, not at this time, we do not. Yeah, we discount the program as much as we can for everyone.

Right.

I noticed it wasn't very affordable before, but you made it more affordable today.

Yeah, it doesn't look that way.

Thank you.

Yeah, you're very welcome. Um, so someone's asking about getting off of meds. Girls that are on here that have done the program, do any of you guys have stories about getting off of meds? Like, I know I personally am off of anxiety meds and depression meds from doing this program and doing Dr. Tabatha Barber's Healthy Her program. But does anyone else have a specific story? Where's my girl Melissa? I feel like you do.

I have a story of just anxiety being like, I was majorly having anxiety.

I didn't know what was going on in my body, didn't know all the changes that was happening, and they wanted to put me on Prozac, Lexapro.

Through doing the program, I did not have to get on all of that. The program, through God, just everything healed my body.

Thanks, Melissa. So what if you don't have current blood work? At this time, we're not doing anything with blood work with this program. You do have a read your own labs guide that you can look at your lab work. And so you can either get new lab work or look at your old lab work. If there probably hasn't been a ton of change, if you haven't made a lot of change. So absolutely, you do not have to have new blood work. Um, Alita, yes. So if you're doing Healthy Her, this is included at the 6-month mark. You'll get access to this program to do because you're in the 6 months of healing, and then you get this during the 6 months of optimizing. Great question. Is this the pro— appropriate for those in the middle of cancer treatment? Yes, Kim. Um, I'm gonna say yes because the mindset piece of it and cleaning up your nutrition is so important. And then just simply having access to Dr. Tabatha Barber every Monday to answer your questions is a game changer. She answers any medical question that you have on those Monday calls. So my answer is yes. And if there's anyone on here that has been through cancer treatment— oh, you know what, I can probably just tell you guys. I mean, I can use Karen's story. Um, Karen is what, actually one of Fast to Faith coaches. She did our Healthy Herb program. She became a Fast to Faith coach, had a brain tumor. We prayed her through brain surgery, and she is on the other side of that now. So the 40-day program and Dr. Tabatha Barber's methods is what got her through. So absolutely. What's different about Healthy Herb? Missy, we're gonna talk about Healthy Herb tomorrow, so don't worry about Healthy Herb today. We're gonna talk about Healthy Herb tomorrow. Healthy Hair Is at the Medical Practice. It's a deep dive. It's a huge program. Um, this is a— if you haven't done the 40-day program, this is the best place to start. So I can tell you, I coach women through Healthy Hair, and when they've done the 40-day program and started cleaning up their nutrition, started getting into their Bible more, um, they can come into the Healthy Hair program. Already changed or they don't even need the Healthy Hair Program. So personally, this is where I want you to start as a Coach in the Healthy Hair Program. Monica, do you want to ask your question or did you have to go? I don't see the sign up. Let me put it in. Oh, oops. I lost the link. Let me put the link in the chat again.

There we go.

Anybody else? We good? Did Monica leave? She had a question. Monica, you want to ask? Oh, hey girl, it's you, Monica.

All right, I see I'm here, but I'm already emailing you.

Okay, great, you got it, girl. That's so funny that you're here because I— you were on my heart yesterday, so I was gonna email you today. So good.

Oh cool.

Telepathy. I like it. Yeah. Um, best place to start is 40 Day or Healthy Hair? I honestly, Linda, start with Healthy Hair. It's a great place to start. We've got some women in here. Monica's one. She's doing Healthy Hair right now. We've got Alita doing Healthy Hair. Nothing wrong with starting there, but absolutely, if you can start with 40 Day, start with 40 Day. It's a great place to just start to clean up your nutrition, focus on getting into the word every day. All right, anybody else? Have we got like 2 minutes? Are we good? Yes, you're very welcome, Emily. Um, you guys can always email questions to support@fastoffaith.com, um, and we can answer those for you today, or you can come tomorrow and learn even more. So we hope everyone shows up tomorrow. It's great to see everyone. There will be a replay, so if anyone, um, you know, needs to watch this, send them the replay. I know the replay link already went out, um, the— obviously the call wasn't in there, but we'll be sending that out again. We had a little tech glitch. If you know us at all at Fast to Faith, we love tech, and tech is our friend. So, all right, um, yes, Denise, thank you. I've seen you write this a couple times, and I'm gonna say that the live calls are what really make the difference. I, I have to agree. I love the Monday calls. They are, um, my favorite part of the week. So, all right, awesome, ladies. I hope you guys all have a great day, and we'll see you tomorrow.
