EP #1039: The Connection Between Health & Faith for Ultimate Self-Care

Send us a text Lisa is joined by Gigi Carter and Sersie Blue who talk about their own journeys to health and how they are helping others as the co-founders of Daniel Fast: A Bridge to Healthy Living and launched Daniel’s Plate , a website with divinely delicious vegan recipes. Their mission is to help women draw on their faith, spirituality and plant-based nutrition to transform their lives. Their mission is to elevate the health and wellness for all women. Gigi's story starts in 2007 when she was diagnosed with high cholesterol at the age of 35. It took her five years , but she ultimately adopted a whole-food, plant-based lifestyle and it changed the trajectory of her health, personal life and career. Gigi quit her corporate job after 22 years and went back to school to earn a master’s degree in Nutrition Sciences from Univ of Alabama at Birmingham. And she became a competitive cyclist at the age of 42. Over ten years ago, Sersie Blue was diagnosed with hypertension during her second pregnancy. She experienced complications during delivery where her son lost oxygen to the brain. This resulted in him needing 24-hour care. Just after his first birthday, he passed away. A plant-based lifestyle change brought her out of the pit physically, emotionally and spiritually. Changing what she ate gave her mental and spiritual clarity. Now she’s passionate about helping others make that same connection.
