00:00:01.36\00:00:02.70
between your emotions

and the way you
digest your food?
00:00:04.10\00:00:05.60

Well, stay tuned to meet someone
00:00:09.60\00:00:11.31

00:00:13.58\00:00:17.48
My name is Jason Bradley,
00:00:17.51\00:00:19.01
and you're
watching Urban Report.
00:00:19.05\00:00:21.12
Hello, and
welcome to Urban Report.
00:00:43.37\00:00:45.51
My guest today
is Sheldine Altidor,
00:00:45.54\00:00:47.84
founder of
Restor8tion Ministries,
00:00:47.88\00:00:50.11
author, and health educator.
00:00:50.15\00:00:52.08
Welcome to
Urban Report Sheldine.
00:00:52.11\00:00:55.18
Well, thank you for having me.
00:00:55.22\00:00:56.55
Oh, it's great to have you.
00:00:56.58\00:00:57.92
This is your first
time on Urban Report.
00:00:57.95\00:01:00.46
I wish you could
be here in person
00:01:00.49\00:01:01.99
but thank God for technology.
00:01:02.02\00:01:04.73
Right? Yes, yes.
00:01:04.76\00:01:06.13
Now before we jump into
this particular episode,
00:01:06.16\00:01:09.53
I want to let our viewers know
00:01:09.56\00:01:11.57
that we're gonna be
talking about health tips
00:01:11.60\00:01:14.20
and strategies
and things you can do
00:01:14.24\00:01:16.47
to improve your digestion
00:01:16.50\00:01:19.97
and digesting your
food and all of that stuff.
00:01:20.01\00:01:22.34
But we recommend that
00:01:22.38\00:01:24.01
you consult your
primary physician
00:01:24.05\00:01:26.48
before implementing
00:01:26.51\00:01:27.85
any of these
strategies that we introduce.
00:01:27.88\00:01:30.79
I got to put it
out that disclaimer,
00:01:30.82\00:01:32.39
you know how
that goes, Sheldine?
00:01:32.42\00:01:34.42
That's right.
00:01:34.46\00:01:35.79
Very important. Yes.
00:01:35.82\00:01:37.16
So why don't you tell us
00:01:37.19\00:01:38.53
a little bit
about your background?
00:01:38.56\00:01:39.89
Where are you from?
00:01:39.93\00:01:41.26
And, you know, just tell us
a little bit about yourself.
00:01:41.30\00:01:45.93
Okay, well,
00:01:45.97\00:01:47.30
I was born and raised
in the Island of Montreal.
00:01:47.34\00:01:49.80
Okay.
00:01:49.84\00:01:51.17
And I was raised
by a single mother,
00:01:51.21\00:01:55.44
beautiful mother,
00:01:55.48\00:01:56.81
and I want to say hello
to mom, if you're watching.
00:01:56.85\00:01:59.98
She watches 3ABN
very religiously.
00:02:00.02\00:02:03.28
And I have three
brothers as well.
00:02:03.32\00:02:06.22
And I wasn't always
a Christian growing up,
00:02:06.25\00:02:09.66
so I grew up in Montreal.
00:02:09.69\00:02:12.19
That's right. Okay.
00:02:12.23\00:02:13.70
So you said you weren't
always a Christian growing up.
00:02:13.73\00:02:16.63
At what point did
you become a Christian
00:02:16.67\00:02:19.23
and what was your life
like prior to Christianity?
00:02:19.27\00:02:22.37
Let's start there.
00:02:22.40\00:02:24.27
Okay, so growing up, I
was, believe it or not,
00:02:24.31\00:02:28.41
I was a tomboy.
00:02:28.44\00:02:29.78
Okay. I was not religious.
00:02:29.81\00:02:32.48
I was an athlete, a jock.
00:02:32.51\00:02:35.78
I used to rap.
00:02:35.82\00:02:37.75
And I was a lyricist.
00:02:37.79\00:02:39.65
Yeah. And so forth.
00:02:39.69\00:02:41.02
And grew up in a very
strong urban community.
00:02:41.06\00:02:46.46
And so I was
exposed to, you know,
00:02:46.49\00:02:49.80
if you will all kinds of things
that you would think that,
00:02:49.83\00:02:55.60
you know,
00:02:55.64\00:02:56.97
where would I be today
if it weren't for Christ?
00:02:57.01\00:02:58.87
Yes, yes.
00:02:58.91\00:03:00.74
So then, at what
point did that transition...
00:03:00.78\00:03:03.88
When did and how did
Christ grab a hold of your life?
00:03:03.91\00:03:09.15
Right. So it was
at the age of 18.
00:03:09.18\00:03:12.55
I remember my mom would tell
me when I was a child, you know,
00:03:12.59\00:03:15.02
"Sheldine, it's important
00:03:15.06\00:03:16.39
to go to church, go to church, "
00:03:16.42\00:03:17.76
and so forth.
00:03:17.79\00:03:19.13
She was always a
firm believer of God.
00:03:19.16\00:03:21.06
And we can never
underestimate a praying mother.
00:03:21.10\00:03:25.13
That's the truth.
00:03:25.17\00:03:26.50
And so at 18,
00:03:26.53\00:03:28.17
I remember I was
going to the arcade,
00:03:28.20\00:03:29.74
you know, I was bored.
00:03:29.77\00:03:31.11
I felt the void and emptiness.
00:03:31.14\00:03:32.47
And one day,
00:03:32.51\00:03:33.84
I ran to friends as
I was heading back home
00:03:33.88\00:03:36.34
from the arcades.
00:03:36.38\00:03:38.05
And they gave me a pamphlet.
00:03:38.08\00:03:39.61
So they invited me to church,
they gave me an invitation.
00:03:39.65\00:03:43.42
So we cannot
downplay on evangelism.
00:03:43.45\00:03:46.62
I was evangelized too.
00:03:46.65\00:03:48.56
And I went to
this youth program,
00:03:48.59\00:03:51.39
[speaking in
French] it was in French
00:03:51.43\00:03:52.76
and French was not...
00:03:52.79\00:03:54.13
I couldn't speak
a word of French.
00:03:54.16\00:03:55.76
That's another
miracle by itself.
00:03:55.80\00:03:57.17
That's another story by itself.
00:03:57.20\00:03:59.77
I attended, and I
fell in love with the...
00:03:59.80\00:04:03.14
I said, "Wow, I had
never heard of this before, "
00:04:03.17\00:04:04.51
and I was asking questions,
and I was really ripe.
00:04:04.54\00:04:08.74
I felt a void
00:04:08.78\00:04:10.11
and I felt a need
of change in my life.
00:04:10.15\00:04:12.05
I needed a shift in my life.
00:04:12.08\00:04:13.42
I realized that at 18 years old.
00:04:13.45\00:04:14.95
Wow!
00:04:14.98\00:04:16.32
And since then,
00:04:16.35\00:04:18.55
I started asking
questions about the Bible,
00:04:18.59\00:04:22.86
about healthy
form, about modesty,
00:04:22.89\00:04:28.46
not just about dress
but how we conduct ourselves
00:04:28.50\00:04:30.90
with the opposite sex,
00:04:30.93\00:04:32.73
taste for music,
00:04:32.77\00:04:35.50
and even just
all aspects of life,
00:04:35.54\00:04:39.01
my perception and
view has totally changed
00:04:39.04\00:04:42.34
when I started to
have an encounter.
00:04:42.38\00:04:43.98
Now I could really say my
true encounter with Christ
00:04:44.01\00:04:46.55
because we could be baptized
00:04:46.58\00:04:47.98
but not have a full
encounter with Christ...
00:04:48.02\00:04:50.29
Unpack that. Yeah.
00:04:50.32\00:04:52.62
So, you know, you become jealous
00:04:52.65\00:04:55.22
I was baptized
like six months in
00:04:55.26\00:04:56.86
after I was exposed to the truth
00:04:56.89\00:05:00.60
that I found in God's Word.
00:05:00.63\00:05:03.03
And, you know,
00:05:03.06\00:05:05.27
you get jealous,
you get so excited,
00:05:05.30\00:05:07.04
but then you still had
some tuning and learning to do
00:05:07.07\00:05:09.14
and unlearning to do.
00:05:09.17\00:05:10.51
So that's what I
had to learn to do.
00:05:10.54\00:05:13.07
And I was always in the church.
00:05:13.11\00:05:15.24
I never left the church,
00:05:15.28\00:05:16.61
but we could be
physically in the church
00:05:16.64\00:05:17.98
but mentally in the world.
00:05:18.01\00:05:19.35
Yes.
00:05:19.38\00:05:20.72
So I had some...
00:05:20.75\00:05:22.08
The Lord had some
chiseling in my life
00:05:22.12\00:05:23.45
in my Christian walk,
00:05:23.49\00:05:24.82
in my walk in the
event of His faith.
00:05:24.85\00:05:27.89
And I could truly say,
00:05:27.92\00:05:30.13
the last five
years or so was really,
00:05:30.16\00:05:32.76
I truly encountered Christ,
00:05:32.79\00:05:34.56
like a one-on-one
00:05:34.60\00:05:35.93
and learning how to
have deeper devotional life
00:05:35.96\00:05:38.40
with the Lord,
00:05:38.43\00:05:39.80
learning the
aspects of heart reform
00:05:39.83\00:05:41.90
because we can
have all these reforms
00:05:41.94\00:05:44.27
but be deformed
in everything else.
00:05:44.31\00:05:47.18
Even the facade of
dress reform, diet reform,
00:05:47.21\00:05:51.01
and all these
reforms are nothing
00:05:51.05\00:05:53.35
if we don't have heart reform.
00:05:53.38\00:05:55.42
Amen.
00:05:55.45\00:05:56.79
So that's what...
00:05:56.82\00:05:58.15
And I'm still
learning every day.
00:05:58.19\00:05:59.52
Yes.
00:05:59.55\00:06:00.89
So in other
words, it's a journey.
00:06:00.92\00:06:02.26
It's a journey. That's right.
00:06:02.29\00:06:04.19
I just felt
sanctification. Absolutely.
00:06:04.23\00:06:06.56
And sanctification
is the work of a what?
00:06:06.59\00:06:09.03
A lifetime. A lifetime.
00:06:09.06\00:06:10.57
That's right. That's right.
00:06:10.60\00:06:12.03
I think we're about
to have church in here.
00:06:12.07\00:06:17.34
I like the...
00:06:17.37\00:06:19.37
You said... What did you say?
00:06:19.41\00:06:21.54
I'd rather teach than preach?
00:06:21.58\00:06:22.91
I'm not much of a preacher.
00:06:22.94\00:06:24.28
Yes.
00:06:24.31\00:06:25.65
I hear you.
00:06:25.68\00:06:27.02
So when did God lead
you into full time ministry?
00:06:27.05\00:06:31.35
Wow.
00:06:31.39\00:06:32.72
I remember when I
attended GYC, back in 2009.
00:06:32.75\00:06:37.53
That's when I was
first exposed to GYC,
00:06:37.56\00:06:39.16
I never heard about GYC.
00:06:39.19\00:06:40.53
And I was like, "Wow!"
00:06:40.56\00:06:41.90
So inspired, a
lot of army of youth,
00:06:41.93\00:06:43.97
who want to work for God
00:06:44.00\00:06:45.80
and fight for God and
just want to do His will.
00:06:45.83\00:06:48.80
It was so beautiful
to see a lot of youth.
00:06:48.84\00:06:51.27
I've attended like at
least five years in a row,
00:06:51.31\00:06:53.78
since then, the first time.
00:06:53.81\00:06:55.34
And I remember, you know,
00:06:55.38\00:06:57.81
meeting different people
00:06:57.85\00:07:00.02
who are in full time ministry
and how fulfilled they were,
00:07:00.05\00:07:02.45
how happy they were.
00:07:02.48\00:07:04.09
And I think of Jesus
00:07:04.12\00:07:05.72
when he was engaged
in full time ministry.
00:07:05.75\00:07:08.42
He was about his
father's business.
00:07:08.46\00:07:10.59
And when I think of
Paul who was a tent maker,
00:07:10.63\00:07:13.03
he used that to
support his ministry,
00:07:13.06\00:07:14.86
he was an entrepreneur,
00:07:14.90\00:07:16.23
and he used that to support
financially his ministry.
00:07:16.26\00:07:19.47
And that's where
the Lord has led me
00:07:19.50\00:07:21.34
to where I am today.
00:07:21.37\00:07:22.94
Nice. Nice.
00:07:22.97\00:07:24.77
So you got led
into full time ministry.
00:07:24.81\00:07:28.98
We'll start back, okay?
00:07:29.01\00:07:30.65
So you weren't a
Christian growing up,
00:07:30.68\00:07:32.51
you had that
encounter with Christ,
00:07:32.55\00:07:34.32
God led you into
full time ministry,
00:07:34.35\00:07:38.12
and now when did you
move into the country?
00:07:38.15\00:07:43.76
Well,
00:07:43.79\00:07:46.53
I started
moving fully officially
00:07:46.56\00:07:48.66
into the country
this year in July first.
00:07:48.70\00:07:52.13
And the strong
impression of country
00:07:52.17\00:07:56.24
living was back in 2015, though,
00:07:56.27\00:07:59.31
2016, I would say. Okay.
00:07:59.34\00:08:01.24
I [distorted audio]
00:08:01.28\00:08:02.94
moved back to Quebec
00:08:02.98\00:08:04.31
and run into some friends who...
00:08:04.35\00:08:05.91
And I always pray and ask God
00:08:05.95\00:08:07.82
to send me to
likeminded individuals,
00:08:07.85\00:08:09.85
Christians,
00:08:09.88\00:08:11.25
who seek to do His will
00:08:11.29\00:08:14.32
and do what is
right in the sight.
00:08:14.36\00:08:16.73
And not just that,
00:08:16.76\00:08:18.43
to seek a richer,
higher experience.
00:08:18.46\00:08:21.33
And so I learned about the
beauties of country living,
00:08:21.36\00:08:25.03
especially, I have
a son and so forth,
00:08:25.07\00:08:26.84
and the importance
of not having him around
00:08:26.87\00:08:29.87
knowing growing up in the
city myself as a young child.
00:08:29.90\00:08:33.51
I didn't want that for my son.
00:08:33.54\00:08:35.94
So that really
struck a chord in my heart,
00:08:35.98\00:08:39.15
and the strong impression rule
00:08:39.18\00:08:41.82
more and more as the years came,
00:08:41.85\00:08:43.52
I went from city to
suburb, and then by faith,
00:08:43.55\00:08:48.36
didn't know where I
was going packed my bags.
00:08:48.39\00:08:51.43
But the Lord told me,
00:08:51.46\00:08:52.79
"Sheldine, you
need to move now."
00:08:52.83\00:08:55.03
And I said, "Okay, Lord,"
00:08:55.06\00:08:57.83
and I shared my testimony
on my channel on YouTube.
00:08:57.87\00:09:01.37
And basically, I had no vehicle,
00:09:01.40\00:09:05.04
I had no idea where I was going.
00:09:05.07\00:09:06.68
I was searching for
options for purchase,
00:09:06.71\00:09:09.68
even for rent,
00:09:09.71\00:09:11.31
I was open for options.
00:09:11.35\00:09:13.98
I said,
00:09:14.02\00:09:15.35
"Lord, you decide
where you want me to go,
00:09:15.38\00:09:17.99
but I trust You.
00:09:18.02\00:09:19.52
You lead the way."
00:09:19.55\00:09:20.96
And let me tell you,
00:09:20.99\00:09:22.32
when you surrender all,
not some but all to him,
00:09:22.36\00:09:25.93
god does miraculous
things in your life?
00:09:25.96\00:09:28.70
I was able to [distorted audio].
00:09:28.73\00:09:31.03
I was able to
even my previous lover
00:09:31.07\00:09:34.07
who was able to take
care of all that for me,
00:09:34.10\00:09:37.87
don't mind, it just moving
00:09:37.91\00:09:39.24
you have to break the lease,
00:09:39.27\00:09:40.61
and I'm not used
to doing that at all.
00:09:40.64\00:09:43.38
And so my
encouragement is that...
00:09:43.41\00:09:45.05
And he took care of it.
00:09:45.08\00:09:46.41
He took care of
everything. Yeah.
00:09:46.45\00:09:47.98
So [distorted audio]
I'll take care of it.
00:09:48.02\00:09:49.78
So Lord provided
for me to get a place
00:09:49.82\00:09:51.69
provided a tenant to
take over where I was.
00:09:51.72\00:09:55.09
So there was no issue there.
00:09:55.12\00:09:56.62
And God provided a vehicle
00:09:56.66\00:09:58.09
when I settled
into the new place.
00:09:58.13\00:09:59.86
Wow!
00:09:59.89\00:10:01.23
And the first pivotal
thing I asked the Lord was,
00:10:01.26\00:10:04.60
"Send me where You
want me to minister
00:10:04.63\00:10:06.57
and where I could
be ministered onto."
00:10:06.60\00:10:08.87
Sometimes we get caught up
in ministering other people,
00:10:08.90\00:10:11.01
but we need to be
ministered on to as well a man.
00:10:11.04\00:10:14.14
So when see God's will
first, He will fulfill the rest.
00:10:14.18\00:10:19.48
Because it's His
desire, it's His will,
00:10:19.51\00:10:21.25
so He will take care of it.
00:10:21.28\00:10:22.62
That's right. Where
He leads, He provides.
00:10:22.65\00:10:25.65
And He provided a vehicle
00:10:25.69\00:10:27.02
when I got settled in
00:10:27.06\00:10:28.39
and everything
else came in through.
00:10:28.42\00:10:29.76
That's huge.
00:10:29.79\00:10:31.13
You took that step out on
faith and God blessed that,
00:10:31.16\00:10:33.26
God honored that.
00:10:33.29\00:10:35.56
Your ministry
is entitled rest...
00:10:35.60\00:10:37.73
It's called
Restor8tion Ministries.
00:10:37.77\00:10:40.17
How did you come
up with that name?
00:10:40.20\00:10:43.47
So it's based from Psalms 51:12.
00:10:43.51\00:10:46.68
"Restore unto me the
joy of thy salvation,
00:10:46.71\00:10:49.24
and uphold me
with thy free spirit."
00:10:49.28\00:10:51.01
And so God wants to
restore us back to Eden.
00:10:51.05\00:10:54.98
And not just physically
but mentally, emotionally,
00:10:55.02\00:10:59.65
and most
importantly spiritually.
00:10:59.69\00:11:02.09
Hence that's where
00:11:02.12\00:11:03.46
the Restor8tion
Ministries came from.
00:11:03.49\00:11:05.29
Got you. Beautiful.
00:11:05.33\00:11:06.66
Now I have here your
book Healthy Digest 101,
00:11:06.70\00:11:10.80
Healthy Digest 101.
00:11:10.83\00:11:13.27
Tell us a little
bit about this book
00:11:13.30\00:11:15.60
and what
inspired you to write it
00:11:15.64\00:11:17.47
and then I've got
00:11:17.51\00:11:18.84
some health
questions that will be...
00:11:18.87\00:11:20.78
I'll be asking
you in just a minute.
00:11:20.81\00:11:23.61
Okay.
00:11:23.65\00:11:24.98
Well, as a child,
00:11:25.01\00:11:26.82
I always loved to
write, and so forth.
00:11:26.85\00:11:30.25
And I remember my
mom played a huge role.
00:11:30.29\00:11:34.26
God primarily was a huge...
00:11:34.29\00:11:37.13
Who inspired me,
00:11:37.16\00:11:39.59
but my mom also
always encouraged me,
00:11:39.63\00:11:41.23
"Sheldine, you need
to write another book."
00:11:41.26\00:11:43.80
I said, "Okay."
00:11:43.83\00:11:45.17
And what's interesting was that
00:11:45.20\00:11:46.57
in the lowest points of my life,
00:11:46.60\00:11:48.60
that's when I
started to just write,
00:11:48.64\00:11:50.14
you know, just hands keeps going
00:11:50.17\00:11:51.51
and going and going.
00:11:51.54\00:11:52.87
And I've always had
an interest in health.
00:11:52.91\00:11:55.28
And I've always asked questions,
00:11:55.31\00:11:57.25
even as I was younger,
00:11:57.28\00:11:58.68
I would always ask questions,
00:11:58.71\00:12:00.05
"Okay, why does this happen?
00:12:00.08\00:12:01.48
What's the cause of this?"
00:12:01.52\00:12:02.85
Or, and I always
search things online.
00:12:02.88\00:12:04.72
And I was always into searching.
00:12:04.75\00:12:06.49
I was always
continuing on the research.
00:12:06.52\00:12:09.19
It just never ends.
00:12:09.22\00:12:12.79
And so that's what started
00:12:12.83\00:12:14.23
and that's what inspired me
00:12:14.26\00:12:16.16
to come up with the
book Healthy Digest 101.
00:12:16.20\00:12:18.80
Because I myself,
00:12:18.83\00:12:20.74
I had struggled
with emotional eating,
00:12:20.77\00:12:22.94
and what better
testimony than to show your own.
00:12:22.97\00:12:26.21
And so in this book,
00:12:26.24\00:12:28.04
I talk about my
personal experience,
00:12:28.08\00:12:30.41
so it wasn't like I was
not coming from a place.
00:12:30.45\00:12:34.02
How I had
episodes where I was down,
00:12:34.05\00:12:36.89
I had anxiety issues,
00:12:36.92\00:12:39.72
I definitely had anxiety issues.
00:12:39.75\00:12:41.56
Got you. Got you.
00:12:41.59\00:12:43.19
And so the Lord made me
realize and it hurts God's heart
00:12:43.22\00:12:47.40
when we are
worried and we're anxious.
00:12:47.43\00:12:50.50
And I said,
00:12:50.53\00:12:51.87
"Lord, I want to
use this as a material
00:12:51.90\00:12:53.77
to help reach out not only
people out there in the world
00:12:53.80\00:12:56.91
but even people in our church
00:12:56.94\00:12:59.04
who struggle with things."
00:12:59.07\00:13:01.61
And depression, anxiety,
00:13:01.64\00:13:03.24
and emotional
eating, and so forth.
00:13:03.28\00:13:04.75
So that's why...
00:13:04.78\00:13:06.11
And in this book has recipes
as well that I made from home.
00:13:06.15\00:13:09.45
That's recipes,
00:13:09.48\00:13:10.82
and recipes for the mind
00:13:10.85\00:13:12.19
as well as recipes for the body.
00:13:12.22\00:13:13.72
And there's also
a self-help coach
00:13:13.76\00:13:15.26
in this book as well.
00:13:15.29\00:13:17.39
Nice. Nice.
00:13:17.43\00:13:18.76
And you have
scriptures in there.
00:13:18.79\00:13:21.10
And yes, scriptures. Yeah.
00:13:21.13\00:13:22.60
He's a great physician,
00:13:22.63\00:13:23.97
and I lean on
Him for everything.
00:13:24.00\00:13:25.57
Amen. Amen.
00:13:25.60\00:13:26.94
Now, you said something
about emotional eating.
00:13:26.97\00:13:30.64
Why don't you break that down?
00:13:30.67\00:13:32.01
What is emotional eating?
What do you mean by that?
00:13:32.04\00:13:35.68
So basically,
00:13:35.71\00:13:37.21
when somebody is going
00:13:37.25\00:13:39.28
through an episode
of emotional eating,
00:13:39.31\00:13:43.02
when somebody is depressed,
00:13:43.05\00:13:44.39
have you ever heard of people
00:13:44.42\00:13:45.75
when they're eating a
big thing of ice cream,
00:13:45.79\00:13:47.49
and they feel
like they're depressed
00:13:47.52\00:13:49.92
or they just feel like
00:13:49.96\00:13:51.29
they're on a binge like
00:13:51.33\00:13:52.66
they're eating like
probably chocolate chip cookies,
00:13:52.69\00:13:54.03
all the unhealthful,
00:13:54.06\00:13:55.40
hurtful things, and
they start eating away.
00:13:55.43\00:13:58.10
I would call this
00:13:58.13\00:13:59.47
like an emotional
eating, as an example.
00:13:59.50\00:14:01.44
Okay, got you, got you.
00:14:01.47\00:14:04.54
So now let's get
into our health question,
00:14:04.57\00:14:07.51
Sheldine.
00:14:07.54\00:14:09.91
What are some foods...
00:14:09.94\00:14:11.41
Well, actually, no,
let's start with this one.
00:14:11.45\00:14:12.98
What is your
body signaling to you
00:14:13.01\00:14:15.22
when you have indigestion?
00:14:15.25\00:14:17.52
Right.
00:14:17.55\00:14:18.89
So many examples of
symptoms that one can experience
00:14:18.92\00:14:22.72
when you have
indigestion is bloating, okay?
00:14:22.76\00:14:27.56
Diarrhea, flatulence,
00:14:27.60\00:14:31.00
belching as well as
constipation for some people,
00:14:31.03\00:14:35.17
some experience
diarrhea and acid reflux.
00:14:35.20\00:14:37.77
Got you. Got you.
00:14:37.81\00:14:39.97
And so what foods
contribute to indigestion?
00:14:40.01\00:14:43.28
Okay,
00:14:43.31\00:14:44.65
so foods that can
contribute to indigestion
00:14:44.68\00:14:46.51
are mixed or mashed foods.
00:14:46.55\00:14:50.22
Mixed fruits and vegetables.
00:14:50.25\00:14:53.05
Some may have nut allergies
as well dairy or histamine,
00:14:53.09\00:14:57.09
dairy food, dairy products,
00:14:57.13\00:14:58.66
anxiety, depression
00:14:58.69\00:15:00.03
all can affect
digestion as well.
00:15:00.06\00:15:02.53
Wow.
00:15:02.56\00:15:03.90
Now how does drinking
00:15:03.93\00:15:05.27
with one's meal
impact digestion?
00:15:05.30\00:15:08.97
Okay, so we know
what 1 Corinthians 14:30,
00:15:09.00\00:15:12.77
that God is a God of order.
00:15:12.81\00:15:14.14
He says,
00:15:14.18\00:15:15.51
"Let everything done be
done in decency and in order."
00:15:15.54\00:15:18.11
And so, you know,
00:15:18.15\00:15:19.48
the expression where we say
00:15:19.51\00:15:20.85
we should be chewing our liquids
00:15:20.88\00:15:23.55
and drinking our foods,
00:15:23.59\00:15:25.95
you know, we
should be chewing...
00:15:25.99\00:15:27.32
I haven't heard that one.
00:15:27.36\00:15:28.86
Yeah?
00:15:28.89\00:15:30.23
Well, technically
what we're drinking,
00:15:30.26\00:15:31.89
we're supposed to
be like, swallowing,
00:15:31.93\00:15:34.53
take the time to kind of chew
00:15:34.56\00:15:36.13
our liquids not just go, go, go,
00:15:36.16\00:15:38.40
and go straight, you know?
00:15:38.43\00:15:39.77
Order.
00:15:39.80\00:15:41.14
So the stomach...
00:15:41.17\00:15:42.50
See God's not off of confusion
but of peace, the Bible says.
00:15:42.54\00:15:45.77
So when we drink and
eat at the same time,
00:15:45.81\00:15:49.38
remember the science
of chewing our liquids
00:15:49.41\00:15:52.48
and eating our foods or sorry,
00:15:52.51\00:15:54.72
liquefying our
foods through our saliva
00:15:54.75\00:15:56.42
and chewing properly.
00:15:56.45\00:15:57.79
The stomach thinks that
you're eating and drinking,
00:15:57.82\00:16:00.02
it's like, it's
one or the other.
00:16:00.06\00:16:01.79
So it causes confusion
00:16:01.82\00:16:03.93
so just make things more simple.
00:16:03.96\00:16:05.89
It causes
confusion to the stomach.
00:16:05.93\00:16:07.93
Hence, it's not...
00:16:07.96\00:16:09.76
Yeah.
00:16:09.80\00:16:11.13
Got you.
00:16:11.17\00:16:12.50
I want to simplify things.
00:16:12.53\00:16:13.87
Yes. Yes.
00:16:13.90\00:16:15.24
Now what is leaky gut syndrome?
00:16:15.27\00:16:17.57
I've heard this a lot.
00:16:17.61\00:16:19.44
What is that?
00:16:19.47\00:16:20.81
Yeah.
00:16:20.84\00:16:22.18
So basically,
00:16:22.21\00:16:23.55
leaky gut syndrome
is a digestive condition
00:16:23.58\00:16:25.91
that affects the
lining of your intestines.
00:16:25.95\00:16:29.12
Okay.
00:16:29.15\00:16:30.49
So when there's a
gap in the intestinal,
00:16:30.52\00:16:33.66
okay, walls,
00:16:33.69\00:16:35.02
bacteria and other
toxins find its way through.
00:16:35.06\00:16:39.69
And that's hence
causes leaky gut syndrome.
00:16:39.73\00:16:42.63
Got you.
00:16:42.66\00:16:44.00
And what are some good ways
00:16:44.03\00:16:45.37
maybe of
preventing leaky gut syndrome?
00:16:45.40\00:16:49.14
Or if you have it,
00:16:49.17\00:16:50.51
what are some things
that maybe you can eat
00:16:50.54\00:16:52.01
to help heal that?
00:16:52.04\00:16:56.21
Okay, first thing,
00:16:56.24\00:16:58.31
one of the things we need
to discard is unhealthy diet.
00:16:58.35\00:17:02.92
That's for sure.
00:17:02.95\00:17:04.52
Chronic
inflammation, chronic stress,
00:17:04.55\00:17:07.42
learning to
manage your stress levels
00:17:07.46\00:17:09.02
because when our stress
is pretty much skyrocket,
00:17:09.06\00:17:12.36
we don't manage it properly,
00:17:12.39\00:17:14.50
we release cortisol,
00:17:14.53\00:17:16.36
which also
contributes inflammation,
00:17:16.40\00:17:18.40
hence, it will
come to contribute
00:17:18.43\00:17:20.47
to other ills in your intestine
00:17:20.50\00:17:22.67
and your
digestive tract as well.
00:17:22.70\00:17:24.24
Got you.
00:17:24.27\00:17:25.61
Now some of things... Go ahead.
00:17:25.64\00:17:27.28
No, no, no,
00:17:27.31\00:17:28.64
you're gonna say
some of the things.
00:17:28.68\00:17:30.85
Now some of things
we could help improve
00:17:30.88\00:17:32.81
is pretty much a healthy diet,
00:17:32.85\00:17:34.82
which we'll get into
later in this program.
00:17:34.85\00:17:38.65
Okay.
00:17:38.69\00:17:40.02
So our emotions,
00:17:40.06\00:17:42.56
what's the correlation
00:17:42.59\00:17:44.09
between our
emotions and digestion?
00:17:44.13\00:17:47.66
I heard you mentioned,
you know, if you're stressed,
00:17:47.70\00:17:51.00
it can lead to some issues?
00:17:51.03\00:17:53.40
What are some of
the other correlations
00:17:53.44\00:17:55.60
between emotions and digestion?
00:17:55.64\00:17:59.14
Well, for example,
00:17:59.17\00:18:00.51
it says in Ministry
of Healing, page 229,
00:18:00.54\00:18:03.61
that anxious about themselves
00:18:03.65\00:18:06.61
tends to cause
weakness and disease.
00:18:06.65\00:18:10.49
Okay?
00:18:10.52\00:18:11.85
And so, we're
anxious, for example,
00:18:11.89\00:18:14.16
it could cause weakness,
00:18:14.19\00:18:15.82
and which inevitably
effects the body, right?
00:18:15.86\00:18:19.59
And anxiety and depression
are relatives pretty much.
00:18:19.63\00:18:24.53
If you're
anxious, you're depressed,
00:18:24.57\00:18:25.90
if you're
depressed, you're anxious.
00:18:25.93\00:18:27.30
And all these negative
emotions affect the body.
00:18:27.34\00:18:30.84
And they say the
stomach is like the second brain
00:18:30.87\00:18:33.14
there is truth to that.
00:18:33.17\00:18:35.28
When we're not
able to manage here,
00:18:35.31\00:18:40.65
everything else is affected.
00:18:40.68\00:18:43.55
It all starts here.
00:18:43.59\00:18:44.92
Wow.
00:18:44.95\00:18:46.29
Now let me ask
you this question.
00:18:46.32\00:18:47.66
Is serotonin
produced in the gut?
00:18:47.69\00:18:51.53
Well, that's a good question.
00:18:51.56\00:18:55.03
Yes, I think so.
00:18:55.06\00:18:56.43
Okay.
00:18:56.46\00:18:59.00
I've wondered because sometimes
00:18:59.03\00:19:00.60
when you eat certain foods
00:19:00.64\00:19:02.80
it kind of has an
effect on your mood.
00:19:02.84\00:19:05.17
So I see that I kind
of see the correlation
00:19:05.21\00:19:07.81
between the mind
and the gut as well.
00:19:07.84\00:19:12.05
I would think so.
00:19:12.08\00:19:13.42
Yeah, I totally would think so.
00:19:13.45\00:19:14.78
Yeah, it does.
00:19:14.82\00:19:16.15
It does affect.
00:19:16.18\00:19:17.52
So what are some of the
things that might cause?
00:19:17.55\00:19:20.22
Well, first off,
what is acid reflux?
00:19:20.26\00:19:22.36
And then what are some foods
that contribute to acid reflux?
00:19:22.39\00:19:27.86
Okay,
00:19:27.90\00:19:29.23
so acid reflux
00:19:29.26\00:19:30.67
is when the
acid from the stomach
00:19:30.70\00:19:33.03
travels its way
up to the esophagus.
00:19:33.07\00:19:36.30
And usually
there's a dysfunction
00:19:36.34\00:19:38.47
in the sphincter of the cavity
00:19:38.51\00:19:41.58
between the
esophagus and the stomach.
00:19:41.61\00:19:45.55
So when it's opened...
00:19:45.58\00:19:48.62
If it releases in a wrong time,
00:19:48.65\00:19:51.32
this can cause acid buildup
00:19:51.35\00:19:53.29
and acid reflux
in the esophagus,
00:19:53.32\00:19:55.19
which hence cause
that burning sensation
00:19:55.22\00:19:57.59
that people feel
in the chest area,
00:19:57.63\00:19:59.56
which can be
confused with heart attack.
00:19:59.59\00:20:01.53
Oh, wow.
00:20:01.56\00:20:03.10
Wow.
00:20:03.13\00:20:04.47
And so how do you minimize that?
00:20:04.50\00:20:10.21
Okay.
00:20:10.24\00:20:11.57
So one of the things
00:20:11.61\00:20:12.94
to minimize acid
reflux is exercise,
00:20:12.97\00:20:16.01
it's so important,
00:20:16.04\00:20:17.38
because it helps
affect the mood, right,
00:20:17.41\00:20:18.75
which helps release, serotonin
00:20:18.78\00:20:20.35
we just talked about earlier.
00:20:20.38\00:20:22.18
And also eating two meals
00:20:22.22\00:20:24.52
in the space of five hours
00:20:24.55\00:20:26.05
now those we're
doing a physical labor
00:20:26.09\00:20:29.82
is counting
this sort of prophecy
00:20:29.86\00:20:31.43
three, but she does mention
two is better than three.
00:20:31.46\00:20:34.66
So those who can do
the two meal plan, great,
00:20:34.70\00:20:37.87
five to six hour
interval in between meals.
00:20:37.90\00:20:42.07
Also, not too large
meals and not eating too fast,
00:20:42.10\00:20:46.74
avoiding stimulants
00:20:46.78\00:20:48.81
like coffee, tea,
00:20:48.84\00:20:51.21
as well as
exciting foods as well,
00:20:51.25\00:20:53.92
spicy foods can contribute...
00:20:53.95\00:20:56.89
That you want to avoid those.
00:20:56.92\00:20:59.05
Calcium magnesium
is a natural laxative.
00:20:59.09\00:21:02.19
So unsulphured blackstrap
molasses is amazing as well.
00:21:02.22\00:21:06.73
And eating more
raw in your diet,
00:21:06.76\00:21:08.66
increase raw on the diet.
00:21:08.70\00:21:10.10
Nice. Nice. So
increase that fiber.
00:21:10.13\00:21:13.44
And fiber. That's right.
00:21:13.47\00:21:14.80
Yes. Okay.
00:21:14.84\00:21:16.54
You said...
00:21:16.57\00:21:17.91
And avoid
[distorted audio] drink water,
00:21:17.94\00:21:19.77
of course, and avoid
stressful situations.
00:21:19.81\00:21:21.98
Got you.
00:21:22.01\00:21:23.35
Speaking of
stressful situations,
00:21:23.38\00:21:24.71
let's talk about stomach ulcers.
00:21:24.75\00:21:27.22
Let's talk about
00:21:27.25\00:21:28.58
what is the
cause of stomach ulcers
00:21:28.62\00:21:31.02
or what are some
causes of stomach ulcers?
00:21:31.05\00:21:35.29
Yes, so basically
that benign pain sensation
00:21:35.32\00:21:37.99
that you get stress,
00:21:38.03\00:21:39.79
chronic stress comes
back to what I said earlier,
00:21:39.83\00:21:42.06
chronic stress,
00:21:42.10\00:21:44.53
eating poor diet, and
so forth, over eating,
00:21:44.57\00:21:50.31
many contributions
could cause stomach ulcers.
00:21:50.34\00:21:53.91
When you have food
that's not digested properly,
00:21:53.94\00:21:56.01
then cause fermentation.
00:21:56.04\00:21:57.65
That's not [distorted
audio] lead to that as well.
00:21:57.68\00:22:00.22
When we ill combinative foods
that could cause fermentation.
00:22:00.25\00:22:03.62
This could
contribute that as well.
00:22:03.65\00:22:06.12
Got you.
00:22:06.15\00:22:07.49
In the book,
00:22:07.52\00:22:08.86
you mentioned the
stomach acid self-test.
00:22:08.89\00:22:11.86
How do you do it?
00:22:11.89\00:22:14.56
Okay, well, it is
inexpensive simple test,
00:22:14.60\00:22:16.87
all you need is a lemon
00:22:16.90\00:22:18.53
and everyone has
lemons or can afford a lemon.
00:22:18.57\00:22:20.57
Wow.
00:22:20.60\00:22:21.94
So basically, yes.
00:22:21.97\00:22:23.30
So what you do you
take a tablespoon of lemon
00:22:23.34\00:22:26.11
and you take it and
if you have no pain...
00:22:26.14\00:22:30.01
If you have...
00:22:30.05\00:22:31.38
Let's say if you
have a stomach pain
00:22:31.41\00:22:32.75
and you have no pain
after taking the tablespoon,
00:22:32.78\00:22:34.62
that means you
have too little acid
00:22:34.65\00:22:36.05
in your stomach.
00:22:36.08\00:22:37.52
Now the contrast
00:22:37.55\00:22:38.89
if you have a
continuing symptoms
00:22:38.92\00:22:42.02
after having taking a
tablespoon of lemon juice
00:22:42.06\00:22:46.56
that means you have
too much stomach acid.
00:22:46.59\00:22:48.46
Because see the
stomach itself is very acidic
00:22:48.50\00:22:51.10
and needs a pH of about
1.5 in order for it to digest
00:22:51.13\00:22:55.34
and for it to be
effective, properly rather.
00:22:55.37\00:22:58.64
Which also contributes
to proper B12 absorption.
00:22:58.67\00:23:01.18
Okay.
00:23:01.21\00:23:02.54
And B12 helps to give
us energy as well, right?
00:23:02.58\00:23:05.71
Right. That's right.
00:23:05.75\00:23:07.08
Okay.
00:23:07.12\00:23:08.45
Now what effect does...
00:23:08.48\00:23:10.29
You know, there's so many people
00:23:10.32\00:23:11.65
that are affected by this,
00:23:11.69\00:23:13.02
what effect does
depression have on the body?
00:23:13.05\00:23:18.86
I like to share a quote
from Testimonies for the Church
00:23:18.89\00:23:21.26
which says,
00:23:21.30\00:23:22.63
"A contented
mind, a cheerful spirit,
00:23:22.66\00:23:24.83
is health to the body
and strength to the soul."
00:23:24.87\00:23:28.07
Nothing is so fruitful
00:23:28.10\00:23:29.70
or cause of
disease as depression,
00:23:29.74\00:23:32.57
gloominess, and sadness.
00:23:32.61\00:23:34.78
And so depression...
00:23:34.81\00:23:36.38
And you know,
00:23:36.41\00:23:37.75
the Bible what it
says in Proverbs 17:22,
00:23:37.78\00:23:39.91
"A merry heart
doeth good like a medicine
00:23:39.95\00:23:41.58
and a broken
spirit drieth the bones?"
00:23:41.62\00:23:43.62
Yes.
00:23:43.65\00:23:44.99
Yes.
00:23:45.02\00:23:46.35
So we understand that
00:23:46.39\00:23:47.72
depression not only
affects the sleeping patterns,
00:23:47.76\00:23:51.39
it affects
cardiovascular system,
00:23:51.43\00:23:53.16
the circulatory
system, the digestive system,
00:23:53.19\00:23:57.20
it suppresses the frontal lobe,
00:23:57.23\00:23:58.87
which is so important
00:23:58.90\00:24:00.24
for the seat of our
all of our decisions.
00:24:00.27\00:24:02.00
So depression effects
all around our whole body,
00:24:02.04\00:24:05.97
our bones, everything.
00:24:06.01\00:24:07.34
It just affects
everything in our body.
00:24:07.38\00:24:08.91
Wow. Wow.
00:24:08.94\00:24:10.28
And you think of
bones, the marrow,
00:24:10.31\00:24:12.05
what's in the red marrow?
00:24:12.08\00:24:13.68
What's in the marrow? Right?
00:24:13.72\00:24:15.05
It's vitamins in the marrow.
00:24:15.08\00:24:16.75
So it all plays the
role, it effects everything.
00:24:16.79\00:24:20.09
Wow.
00:24:20.12\00:24:21.46
Now how can
people get this book?
00:24:21.49\00:24:23.43
Because you've just
listed so many great things.
00:24:23.46\00:24:26.80
How can people
obtain a copy of this book?
00:24:26.83\00:24:30.77
Right.
00:24:30.80\00:24:32.13
So they can go to Amazon
to obtain a copy as well.
00:24:32.17\00:24:35.10
They could also...
00:24:35.14\00:24:37.34
Yeah, so Amazon and
other online stores,
00:24:37.37\00:24:39.57
I believe,
00:24:39.61\00:24:40.94
but for the most part
00:24:40.98\00:24:42.31
they can get their
hands on it on Amazon.
00:24:42.34\00:24:43.91
I'm actually aiming
to order a box as well.
00:24:43.95\00:24:47.88
So those who are
local can also team up
00:24:47.92\00:24:49.88
I can obtain a copy as well.
00:24:49.92\00:24:52.12
And you said
local, you're in Canada?
00:24:52.15\00:24:55.36
Yes, I'm in Quebec.
00:24:55.39\00:24:56.86
Okay. Okay.
00:24:56.89\00:24:59.19
And then what's your website?
00:24:59.23\00:25:01.76
Like if somebody wants to book
00:25:01.80\00:25:03.63
you maybe for a virtual seminar
00:25:03.67\00:25:06.70
or something like that,
00:25:06.74\00:25:08.07
what's your website and
tell us your email address?
00:25:08.10\00:25:11.84
Sure thing.
00:25:11.87\00:25:13.21
So my website
is www.restor8tion.
00:25:13.24\00:25:17.98
So that's,
R-E-S-T-O-R-8-T-I-O-N,
00:25:18.01\00:25:24.52
eight for Laws of Health,
00:25:24.55\00:25:25.89
but we know
there's more than eight.
00:25:25.92\00:25:27.29
T-I-O-N.com.
00:25:27.32\00:25:29.52
And my email is same thing
00:25:29.56\00:25:32.49
restor8tion777@gmail.com.
00:25:32.53\00:25:36.73
Okay, wonderful.
00:25:36.77\00:25:38.60
Now you just alluded to
the eight Laws of Health,
00:25:38.63\00:25:41.67
why don't you
break that down for us?
00:25:41.70\00:25:44.34
Okay,
00:25:44.37\00:25:45.71
so we like to use a new
start, which is nutrition,
00:25:45.74\00:25:51.25
exercise, water,
sunshine, temperance, air, rest,
00:25:51.28\00:25:56.18
and T for trust in God.
00:25:56.22\00:25:58.05
Amen. Amen.
00:25:58.09\00:25:59.85
What are some
needs of your ministry?
00:25:59.89\00:26:04.46
What are some of
your current needs?
00:26:04.49\00:26:08.83
Well, lots of prayer, we
can definitely use prayer.
00:26:08.86\00:26:13.00
And that those
who feel impressed...
00:26:13.03\00:26:14.77
Part of what we
do in our ministry,
00:26:14.80\00:26:16.14
we also give
ministerial support,
00:26:16.17\00:26:17.94
we also offer media.
00:26:17.97\00:26:21.04
So we want to invest
on a better camera system.
00:26:21.08\00:26:24.68
So people feel impressed
to give, they can do so.
00:26:24.71\00:26:29.35
I have a PayPal account,
which is found on the website.
00:26:29.38\00:26:32.09
They could donate
as the Spirit leads,
00:26:32.12\00:26:34.92
but definitely lots of prayers.
00:26:34.96\00:26:36.59
And [distorted audio]
add financial blessings,
00:26:36.62\00:26:40.13
we accept that as well.
00:26:40.16\00:26:41.50
Yes, yes.
00:26:41.53\00:26:42.90
All right.
00:26:42.93\00:26:44.27
And people can book
you for the seminars
00:26:44.30\00:26:46.37
and all of that stuff.
00:26:46.40\00:26:47.74
What are some of
your favorite recipes
00:26:47.77\00:26:49.40
that you have in your book?
00:26:49.44\00:26:51.77
Oh, wow.
00:26:51.81\00:26:54.88
Well, I like the flatbread,
and I also like the...
00:26:54.91\00:27:00.25
One of the recipes I have there,
00:27:00.28\00:27:01.98
it's called the
no frownie brownie,
00:27:02.02\00:27:05.05
not with chocolate,
of course, with carob,
00:27:05.09\00:27:07.19
which is a healthy
alternative to chocolate.
00:27:07.22\00:27:10.39
And why I like it,
00:27:10.43\00:27:12.23
because you'll find out
00:27:12.26\00:27:13.60
why it's called
no frownie brownie
00:27:13.63\00:27:15.76
when you have copy of the book.
00:27:15.80\00:27:17.70
I'll leave that
suspense with our viewers.
00:27:17.73\00:27:20.77
So you're gonna
leave our viewers
00:27:20.80\00:27:22.37
with a little bit
of a cliffhanger there?
00:27:22.40\00:27:24.47
We've got about 20 seconds left.
00:27:24.51\00:27:26.68
In that 20 seconds,
give us a closing thought.
00:27:26.71\00:27:31.58
Sure.
00:27:31.61\00:27:32.95
Philippians 4:13, where it says,
00:27:32.98\00:27:34.98
"I can do all
things through Christ
00:27:35.02\00:27:36.99
who strengthens me."
00:27:37.02\00:27:38.49
And so when we allow
Christ to strengthen us,
00:27:38.52\00:27:40.69
He will help us.
00:27:40.72\00:27:42.06
Amen. Amen.
00:27:42.09\00:27:43.73

00:27:48.96\00:27:51.40
Remember,
00:27:51.43\00:27:52.77

00:27:52.80\00:27:54.14
could not be the
same without you.
00:27:54.17\00:27:56.24
