We're so excited to bring you part one of two part series on Why You Can't Lose the Weight with our host, Alisa Keeton. She's coming in hot with this one and you are going to have an a-ha moment as she helps unpack why 95% of diets fail and asks two key questions:

--> Who told you that you needed to lose weight?

--> What is the right weight for you?

In Part I, you'll also hear how our nervous system along with hormones play a big part in this journey.

If you heard this today and are looking for a way to lean into a nervous system re-set that allows your body to start healing, join us in 21 days of Walking the Words of Jesus. This faith and fitness program helps you create better beliefs and develop healthy habits through prayer and worship— all important factors in the weight loss journey.

If you're in need of rest, listen today to this gentle and encouraging conversation with Alisa and author, Asheritah Ciuciu, who shares how the pandemic was the catalyst to press into prayer from an unexpected place of overcoming anxiety. Asheritah, with her deep love for Jesus, calls us to remember God and His faithfulness and to press into His goodness. She offers practical tools to help begin a rhythm of prayer that brings lasting peace where rest stands for:

R - recite God's goodness

E - expressing God's goodness

S - seek His stillness

T - trusting His faithfulness

Grab a pencil and take some notes on this teaching from the founder of Revelation Wellness, Alisa Keeton. Today she teaches on the principle of N.E.A.T., which stands for non-exercise activity thermogenesis. You will learn why we should be 'NEAT-ly' exercising for better health and wellness. She will teach you why it's important for everyday health and then give you easy, practical steps to begin today! It's easier than you think to start exercising this way!

Moving 'NEATly' helps you think better and feel better!

If you'd like to understand the science of N.E.A.T., here are some resources that explore how our bodies respond to this way of movement:

Show notes:

Thanks for joining us for this episode of the Revelation Wellness Podcast! Today, Alisa teaches how the outside world actively affects your body. In this episode, she helps unpack how psycho-neuroimmunology is a Biblical principle of the integration of body, mind and soul rooted in Mark 12:28-35 that tells us to love the Lord and then to love others. She explores that when we are loved by God and are content and in peace with ourselves, we then have the psycho-immunology that holds peace both internally and externally and helps us maintain health and wholeness.

As you heard at the beginning of this episode, walking with the Word of God is a great way to start integrating your body and the outside world for better health. To join us on this 21 day journey, sign-up now for Walking the Words of Jesus!

Here are some more great resources that help unpack the benefits of walking:

Let Alisa lead you in a coached ladder workout where she teaches you how to build a B.O.A.T. to overcome anxiety and fear where you learn to breathe, open up, acknowledge and transform. Today's scripture is from Genesis 6:18 and she shares how we each have to build a boat like Noah when faced with challenges that could lead to places of fear and anxiety. This is such a good training that is perfect to use when you go for a run, walk, hike or anytime you move your body.

If you're ready to go deeper with Revelation Wellness, we invite you to join RevWild, outdoor leadership program. Through this training, you'll experience God in his creation and learn how to lead others through outdoor encounters such as hiking, camping and biking.

Thanks for joining us for this fun episode of the Revelation Wellness Podcast that will encourage you to find your people and get on mission! Today, Alisa is joined by two of our inspirational Revelation Wellness Ambassadors, Jenn Hebert, and Spencer Fusselman. Listen as they share their stories of how God shows up in powerful ways as they serve in their local communities.

Jenn, a graduate of Platoon 24, founded Roca Kidz Club, a non-profit ministry for at-risk children in Manchester, NH. Together with her husband, they serve children who have been affected by abuse, neglect, and poverty, where many have been impacted by multi-generational brokenness. Jenn also ministers to others through foster care and serves as a World Race coach with a presence in Albania, Georgia, and Kyrgyzstan. She also leads group fitness classes in her community and in local women's shelter and opens her home to young adults every Tuesday for Taco Tuesday. You can connect with Jenn and her ministry on Instagram / Facebook.

Spencer is a graduate of Platoon 27 and is a retired veteran and current Army Reserve Chaplain in Los Lunas, NM. As a PTSD overcomer and survivor, he founded Warrior Faith Ministries as a place to minister to active and retired military members, as well as ROTC cadets. He uses opportunities during Army Reserve training practices to apply spiritual teachings and to encourage the Army reserve soldiers through his ministry. Spencer also founded a Christian martial arts studio where he invests in the community's youth. You can connect with Spencer on Instagram / Youtube.

Serving those in marginalized communities is a pillar of the Revelation Wellness ministry. As Alisa shares in the interview, the role of Revelation Wellness is to help train and equip those in the Rev community so they can then go out and love others, as Christ teaches in Matthew 22:39.

Check out this video from Hope Fest held in Phoenix to see what joy looks like when we serve on mission in the community.
