Wow this was such a special conversation. I started eating keto after I sensed God asking me to fast carbs and sugar for a year. I have been struggling with post partum depression and anxiety in a severe way and tried everything! After prayer time I sensed God challenged me to change the way I eat. After 5 months of fasting sugar and carbs my relationship with God just went to another level! I started waking at 4 am and now I had enough time to be quiet and spend time with Him and sensed His presence in a new way! It is now 19 months later, I am strict carnivore, lost 75 pounds, have a great connection with our toddler, grew my business to quadruple my clients! The last 19 months has been Gods process with me…not an instant miracle, but a process miracle for the purpose of tasting His goodness in a greater way!
Meeting Margarita Clayton and her husband at the SCALA conference a couple of years ago was a wonderful experience. I love her book, "The Wounds of Beauty" which was an excellent & edible read (highly recommended). I appreciate hearing about her stories of recovery through nutrition through this discussion which provokes my own thoughts about food, healing & spirituality. Tammy also has a beautiful presence in how she approaches questioning/inquiry or thoughtfully framing from her perspective. Thanks for this discussion ladies!!
What a very informative podcast! Thank you! The enemy lies and destroyer of the truth. So if you don’t serve God, you will serve other things of the world.
I have been struggling with food my whole life and have designed my life around my endless quest to beat my food addiction. But now that I have Jesus in my life I know I have to heal myself and tell my story to help others.
Helping you be your best self and prepared for the adventure and tasks of the day with peace, and as a reflection of God, is actually a large part of why I eat this way. I find I am not as reactive but proactive and calm because I can think more clearly, and sleep through the night also.
If food affects our relationship with God (disrupts prayer) of course it impacts our relationships with people. Carbs are sugar. It all turns into sugar in the blood. Very many people find that eliminating carbs removes thoughts about food.
Love Margarita .A fantastic interview! I really want to listen to the Holy Spirit and how I feel about food. I also have a feeling I should eat meat and I am still in shock. And the food pyramid with the grains is evidently wrong.
I have the opposite, without sugar im agitated and tired With sugar, i immediatley feel my blood spike and feel like i can handle anything because i have the energy to do so
The ancient "Hunter-gatherer" peoples were not totally meat eaters, they also ate fruits, seeds, & other plant foods that could be picked up along the trails they walked - this is where the "gatherer" part of their name comes from. The men provided meat, and the women gathered foods, as the tribe traveled along.
My daughter suffered from period cramps to the point of being bed ridden with a pale face. It scared me and her only options from doctors were birth control, which angered me. We took out sugars, processed foods, and her cramps are gone!
I don't know if you have heard of the Orthodox Church. Although there are not many dogmatic differences compared to the Catholic Church, we are essentially different. One of the aspects is fasting. We fast a lot, a faithful practitioner fasts every week on Wednesdays and Fridays, and some also on Mondays. Also, around the Great Holidays, fasts are held, some harder and longer, 40 days, such as the fasts before the Resurrection and the Nativity. The usual fasting completely excludes meat, cheeses and eggs, the most advanced eating only bread. Also, we have black fasts, in which from morning until sunset you don't eat anything and you don't even drink water. We have an active spiritual poor proven by the large number of believers, the number of churches, the large number of monasteries and an impressive number of works on theological themes.
The divine law in the natural laws complement each other so it is not uncommon for one to make dietary changes an in counter their spiritual conversion at the same time
The thing of it is, Christianity is an agricultural religion. It’s why we needed larger families, to run the family crops.There are so many references to agriculture throughout the Bible. It’s when people settled down to develop a society and build social rules around it , unlike hunter gatherers, who pillaged each other for resources. I love listening to your shows.❤
Well, thinking back to the very beginning though, God approved Abel's sacrifice of a lamb (Abel was a shepherd, the quintessential type of person after God's own heart throughout scripture), and shepherds are pastoralist; those societies can move around (while having plenty of social rules. And remember that God never asked for a fixed-in-place temple; He initially chose to travel with His people in a moving tent. It was King David who, after fixing himself in place, decided to build a fixed place for God too. Which was then of course graciously accepted by God, but it seems well to remember that it wasn't initially instructed by God). In contrast, God did NOT approve of Cain's sacrifice of agricultural produce. It was due to this very jealousy over God rejecting his agricultural sacrifice in favour of Abel's pastoralist sacrifice, that Cain murdered Abel. I was reflecting on this recently. How in the Eucharist, Jesus redeems for humanity the inadequate sacrifice of Cain. Bread and wine, which as processed agricultural foods are both "fruit of the earth and work of human hands", are NOT the kind of sacrifice God initially wanted. But Jesus as the paschal lamb transubstantiates them into himself: into his own flesh and blood as the paschal lamb. The sacrifice that DOES please God. I'm not trying to over-theologize about human nutrition. But it does strike me as interesting. It's never explained within the story, why Abel's pastoralist sacrifice of a lamb pleased God, and Cain's agricultural sacrifice of wheat didn't please God. I wonder if maybe it's that agriculture attempts too much control of the world; the "first fruits" of wheat is a pretty small sacrifice considering that while yes, the miracle of rain is still needed, usually a whole field will have grown at once so you're only giving up what seems like a quickly filled-in small gap in a larger body of simultaneously-produced crops, and you feel like you've 'got a handle' on the activities necessary for 'you' to produce this food. But the "first fruit" of a flock of sheep? A whole lamb, the first lamb born at that time, after considerable tending-to and protection of its mother? That is a BIG sacrifice. It is a living creature, the miracle of which only God could have provided to you in the first place, and it is a life which could have provided tasty and nutrient-dense food as well as wool for clothing to the people. Maybe other lambs won't be born successfully, maybe there will be a catastrophic disease, who knows. You have to trust God a LOT to sacrifice to him the first lamb born to your flock. It's a different relationship than the one that tries to control things by using crop agriculture. (Not to even mention how the bone record shows that humans immediately became unhealthier and experienced compromised bone structure after we started eating agricultural crops.) Anyway, these are just my thoughts. :) I look forward with hope to learn well from God on the other side, whatever the truth is!
The gospel is for everyone. It’s true that bread is essentially poor man’s food. Slave food. That’s why Christ chose to consecrate the bread to be the sign of faith. We receive what appears to be bread - slave food, food anyone could get, the poorest food - but in reality he is giving us his own flesh to eat. Humans will eat anything to survive. Even the poorest food, but we still die. We may also eat the richest and best meat. But we still die. Only the very body and blood of Christ, his own life is the food that will sustain us eternally.
Off course it's a sin over eating, I see eating or cooking programs on tick tock and on TH-cam they over eat and get fat when more 20 million people die or starvetion so it's a sin to over eat 😭😔
Yeah. One of those came up in my feed somehow and I ended up watching two or three out of fascination -- until I realized that by my views, I was helping monetize those videos and thereby reinforcing the over-eater's inducement to the sin of gluttony. Haven't watched another one since.
Gluttony is a sin, meaning it’s wrong, not “you’re a terrible person”. Tammy didn’t say this, but in religion there is an underlying tone that you’re a horrible person when you make mistakes, and that stops people from growth. So realize sin is “mistake” but avoid it once you know better. And gluttony is wrong because it harms the body and draws you away from your connection with God.
Ur craving sugar because we are meant to eat a fruit based diet. We are closest to the bonobo chimps with our DNA. Have u tried just eating fruits and veggies without bread, and processed crap? I a willing to bet u haven’t. Btw u are not a lion. If u were, u would salivate over raw meat with the blood dripping. U would eat the intestines and liver while the animals is still alive like lions do. I bet u put salt and seasons in your cooked meat. It’s not natural. Fruits and veggies are our natural diet in the raw state.

Tammy you hit the nail on the head. Nutrition is the basic foundation for mind, mood and how we treat others
Meeting Margarita Clayton and her husband at the SCALA conference a couple of years ago was a wonderful experience.

What a very informative podcast! Thank you! The enemy lies and destroyer of the truth. So if you don’t serve God, you will serve other things of the world.
Carnivore is not a biblical diet just so you know. Grains, honey, fruits, breads, are all in the Bible as a food source.
I want to hear from her after eating carnivore. It creates a new state of mind around food that is hard to explain until someone experiences it.
Loved all three podcasts with Margarita. Hope you will have more with her. She has so much wisdom. The two of you are great together.
I have been struggling with food my whole life and have designed my life around my endless quest to beat my food addiction.
But now that I have Jesus in my life I know I have to heal myself and tell my story to help others.
What a quietly calm and dignified presence
I’m doing a lot of fasting but the thoughts around food while hungry are very distracting. You’ve encouraged me to start journaling more.
Helping you be your best self and prepared for the adventure and tasks of the day with peace, and as a reflection of God, is actually a large part of why I eat this way. I find I am not as reactive but proactive and calm because I can think more clearly, and sleep through the night also.
Love listening to you Tammy!! I got so much out of this episode, hearing your perspective will stick with me. Keep up the good work! 😊
God Bless You Tammy ❤

pray before we eat~❤
Would love to see more around nutrition and fasting a a podcast topic
I have the opposite, without sugar im agitated and tired
With sugar, i immediatley feel my blood spike and feel like i can handle anything because i have the energy to do so
Hello from Golden BC! Love you and Jordan. Thanks for all that you do 🥰🥰🥰

Groundbreaking! Just look at the peoples shopping carts at Costco, sweet little old ladies with gallons of Vodka.

How does a carnivore diet person do communion, the Eucharist?
You can ask for very low gluten hosts. The story of how they were made/invented by nuns is fascinating
Moringa!

God chose to come at a time when civilization was established just well enough to allow the gospel to spread quickly through the world.

We receive what appears to be bread - slave food, food anyone could get, the poorest food - but in reality he is giving us his own flesh to eat. Humans will eat anything to survive.

How to avoid FI issues on keto?
PRP or and prolotherapy will help with ligaments and muscle pain. Look up the dr Hackett. Quite knowledgeable
I really want to like lamb. I have not had success making it taste good. Any suggestions or recipes that are simple?
Maybe you're not used to the taste. You could try accompanying it with mint sauce or gravy. Or you could turn it into a curry.
How can overdrinking mean drinking anything?
Off course it's a sin over eating, I see eating or cooking programs on tick tock and on TH-cam they over eat and get fat when more 20 million people die or starvetion so it's a sin to over eat 😭😔
