Allen Jackson NOW | Allen Jackson: Importance of Nutrition and Health | Allen Jackson Now | April 2, 2025
- Well.
- 00:00:03.261 --> 00:00:03.695
- Good evening.
- 00:00:03.695 --> 00:00:04.763
- I'm alan jackson, and welcome back to our show.
- 00:00:04.763 --> 00:00:06.698
- We're going to talk about something tonight.
- 00:00:06.698 --> 00:00:08.166
- That's fun, and it's tempting.
- 00:00:08.166 --> 00:00:10.202
- Sometimes it's good for you, and sometimes it's not.
- 00:00:10.202 --> 00:00:13.338
- Do you have any guesses?
- 00:00:13.338 --> 00:00:14.840
- Well, in this case,
- 00:00:14.840 --> 00:00:15.874
- I'm talking about the food we eat and our health.
- 00:00:15.874 --> 00:00:18.510
- Given how important every meal is.
- 00:00:18.510 --> 00:00:20.579
- I'm surprised how little we know about what we eat.
- 00:00:20.579 --> 00:00:23.615
- What's good for you and what's not, me included.
- 00:00:23.615 --> 00:00:27.352
- Well, there's a new diet craze every month
- 00:00:27.352 --> 00:00:29.321
- On top of all the tv commercials that make our mouths water.
- 00:00:29.321 --> 00:00:32.757
- The food pyramid that some of us grew up with.
- 00:00:32.757 --> 00:00:35.093
- It's long since been turned upside down,
- 00:00:35.093 --> 00:00:37.963
- And so many unknowns, such as out of food additives
- 00:00:37.963 --> 00:00:40.866
- And preservatives, affect the safety of the food we eat.
- 00:00:40.866 --> 00:00:44.002
- Why do we dive into certain foods when we're stressed?
- 00:00:44.002 --> 00:00:47.339
- How much of what we eat has been genetically modified?
- 00:00:47.339 --> 00:00:50.542
- How does the way we cook our food affect its nutritional
- 00:00:50.542 --> 00:00:52.911
- Value?
- 00:00:52.911 --> 00:00:54.079
- Should i boil it, bake it, roast it, or grill it and do
- 00:00:54.079 --> 00:00:57.082
- Any of those choices help preserve the nutritional value?
- 00:00:57.082 --> 00:01:00.519
- Well, there's no focus on our health.
- 00:01:00.519 --> 00:01:02.387
- I'm beginning to think that my wife
- 00:01:02.387 --> 00:01:04.022
- And i should have a nutritionist on call.
- 00:01:04.022 --> 00:01:07.025
- Well, fortunately, we have one with us today.
- 00:01:07.025 --> 00:01:09.327
- Though he's much more than that.
- 00:01:09.327 --> 00:01:10.896
- He's a bestselling author, and he's best known as america's
- 00:01:10.896 --> 00:01:14.166
- Biblical health coach, jordan reuben.
- 00:01:14.166 --> 00:01:17.202
- Welcome to nashville. it is great to be here.
- 00:01:17.202 --> 00:01:19.771
- Well, it is always good to talk to you.
- 00:01:19.771 --> 00:01:21.206
- I feel like i learned so much and i get healthier every time.
- 00:01:21.206 --> 00:01:23.642
- I appreciate that. so here we go.
- 00:01:23.642 --> 00:01:25.744
- You're a big believer in what you call health freedom.
- 00:01:25.744 --> 00:01:28.813
- Can you explain to us what that means?
- 00:01:28.813 --> 00:01:30.649
- Well, i'm a big believer
- 00:01:30.649 --> 00:01:32.350
- In health freedom and health education.
- 00:01:32.350 --> 00:01:34.186
- I think it's a misnomer
- 00:01:34.186 --> 00:01:35.453
- That some of us, quote unquote, health
- 00:01:35.453 --> 00:01:37.722
- Experts are telling people what to do and what not to do.
- 00:01:37.722 --> 00:01:41.359
- I think we really stand back
- 00:01:41.359 --> 00:01:43.662
- And want to see people educated and make choices.
- 00:01:43.662 --> 00:01:47.599
- I don't know much about cars, so when i have a breakdown,
- 00:01:47.599 --> 00:01:50.635
- I bring it to the mechanic and whatever he says, i do.
- 00:01:50.635 --> 00:01:55.574
- That should not be the case with our health.
- 00:01:55.574 --> 00:01:57.509
- We need to take more control and understand.
- 00:01:57.509 --> 00:02:00.612
- Not only is physical health important to how we look
- 00:02:00.612 --> 00:02:04.916
- And how we feel, but the bible says it's
- 00:02:04.916 --> 00:02:06.885
- Our spiritual act of worship that's important.
- 00:02:06.885 --> 00:02:11.590
- The appointment of bobby kennedy to the head of hhs seems to
- 00:02:11.590 --> 00:02:14.693
- Already be making some changes for the better.
- 00:02:14.693 --> 00:02:17.062
- The washington times reports that a major fast food
- 00:02:17.062 --> 00:02:19.898
- Chains already switched its cooking oil
- 00:02:19.898 --> 00:02:22.334
- In some states, or apparently cracking down
- 00:02:22.334 --> 00:02:24.369
- On processed foods and school lunches.
- 00:02:24.369 --> 00:02:26.738
- There's a lot to talk about, but tell us how big a problem is
- 00:02:26.738 --> 00:02:30.041
- Cooking oil and the dyes that are used,
- 00:02:30.041 --> 00:02:32.644
- And the preservatives in our food.
- 00:02:32.644 --> 00:02:34.546
- I believe what
- 00:02:34.546 --> 00:02:35.780
- Secretary kennedy is pushing as an agenda is long overdue,
- 00:02:35.780 --> 00:02:39.985
- And some of us have been
- 00:02:39.985 --> 00:02:41.419
- Fighting an uphill battle for a quarter of a century or more.
- 00:02:41.419 --> 00:02:45.724
- And really, people would look at us sideways,
- 00:02:45.724 --> 00:02:48.059
- Especially in the church, which is very unfortunate.
- 00:02:48.059 --> 00:02:51.563
- But today, everything we eat matters,
- 00:02:51.563 --> 00:02:55.367
- And there are over a thousand chemicals
- 00:02:55.367 --> 00:02:57.602
- That are approved by the fda here in the united states
- 00:02:57.602 --> 00:03:00.639
- That are banned in other countries.
- 00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:02.040
- So that's one way to look at how dangerous
- 00:03:02.040 --> 00:03:06.211
- These chemicals are that lurk in our food supply.
- 00:03:06.211 --> 00:03:08.413
- And i subscribe
- 00:03:08.413 --> 00:03:09.914
- To a pretty simple philosophy, if you will read a label.
- 00:03:09.914 --> 00:03:13.485
- And if there's long, unpronounceable words or words
- 00:03:13.485 --> 00:03:17.455
- That contain numbers along with the letters,
- 00:03:17.455 --> 00:03:20.025
- That probably means you're eating
- 00:03:20.025 --> 00:03:21.493
- Something made in a laboratory, not on god's green earth.
- 00:03:21.493 --> 00:03:25.263
- And so for me, i want people to eat what god created as food
- 00:03:25.263 --> 00:03:29.701
- And then understand how to properly prepare that food.
- 00:03:29.701 --> 00:03:34.172
- And really, number three, you mentioned this in the opening.
- 00:03:34.172 --> 00:03:37.242
- We can't make foods and beverages our idols.
- 00:03:37.242 --> 00:03:40.512
- And i know
- 00:03:40.512 --> 00:03:41.746
- People would shake their head, well, i'm not addicted to food.
- 00:03:41.746 --> 00:03:44.282
- I'm not a glutton. but if you think about it,
- 00:03:44.282 --> 00:03:48.186
- The church
- 00:03:48.486 --> 00:03:49.921
- Has been against so many things, and rightfully so.
- 00:03:49.921 --> 00:03:53.591
- When people get saved,
- 00:03:53.591 --> 00:03:54.693
- They feel like
- 00:03:54.693 --> 00:03:55.927
- They have to cast aside a lot of their worldly pleasures.
- 00:03:55.927 --> 00:03:58.396
- But food and eating has been one of the last
- 00:03:58.396 --> 00:04:01.399
- That we've held on to.
- 00:04:01.399 --> 00:04:02.400
- And growing up in church over the years,
- 00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:04.469
- You see the wednesday night youth troupe with the big banana
- 00:04:04.469 --> 00:04:08.640
- Split and pizza, and then you see
- 00:04:08.640 --> 00:04:10.709
- Come to the early service to make seats for the later
- 00:04:10.709 --> 00:04:13.712
- Service will give you bacon
- 00:04:13.712 --> 00:04:15.613
- And something that resembles eggs and donuts, etc.
- 00:04:15.613 --> 00:04:18.917
- So i really feel called to help the church understand
- 00:04:18.917 --> 00:04:22.787
- That we need to be a shining example of physical health.
- 00:04:22.787 --> 00:04:26.024
- And i believe, alan, and i know you know this as a pastor.
- 00:04:26.024 --> 00:04:30.729
- Ancient israel was known
- 00:04:31.262 --> 00:04:33.064
- For much more than being a peculiar people.
- 00:04:33.064 --> 00:04:35.800
- There's evidence in scripture that what god told them
- 00:04:35.800 --> 00:04:38.570
- To do relative to health, hygiene,
- 00:04:38.570 --> 00:04:41.639
- And other important physical
- 00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:45.110
- Conditions made all the difference in the world.
- 00:04:45.110 --> 00:04:48.012
- They lived longer, they lived better, and even as
- 00:04:48.012 --> 00:04:51.349
- David or the psalmist talks about their exodus out of egypt,
- 00:04:51.349 --> 00:04:56.554
- The bible says, there was not one feeble
- 00:04:56.554 --> 00:04:59.457
- Among all their tribes.
- 00:04:59.457 --> 00:05:00.692
- And we're talking about 2 million plus people.
- 00:05:00.692 --> 00:05:03.795
- Whereas the bible also says that if you follow my commandments,
- 00:05:03.795 --> 00:05:08.333
- Heed my decrees, i will put
- 00:05:08.933 --> 00:05:10.602
- None of the diseases on you as i have put upon the egyptians.
- 00:05:10.602 --> 00:05:14.773
- For i am the lord that heals you.
- 00:05:14.773 --> 00:05:16.708
- And you know what, pastor?
- 00:05:16.708 --> 00:05:17.876
- Ancient egypt did one thing great preserved their remains,
- 00:05:17.876 --> 00:05:22.280
- And we see belly fat.
- 00:05:22.280 --> 00:05:25.483
- We see
- 00:05:25.483 --> 00:05:27.552
- Incidences of heart disease and brain issues
- 00:05:27.552 --> 00:05:31.055
- Very similar to what's going on today.
- 00:05:31.055 --> 00:05:34.392
- The people of ancient egypt suffered,
- 00:05:34.392 --> 00:05:36.861
- Whereas the people from ancient israel thrived.
- 00:05:36.861 --> 00:05:39.931
- Why is that?
- 00:05:39.931 --> 00:05:41.166
- And it's part of my passion to unveil the revelation
- 00:05:41.166 --> 00:05:45.236
- That is in our bible,
- 00:05:45.236 --> 00:05:47.305
- Proven through history, and confirmed my science.
- 00:05:47.305 --> 00:05:49.374
- It helps heal me,
- 00:05:49.374 --> 00:05:51.042
- And it's my duty to share that with others.
- 00:05:51.042 --> 00:05:54.045
- Well,
- 00:05:54.279 --> 00:05:54.779
- One of the things
- 00:05:54.779 --> 00:05:55.380
- I appreciate about jews,
- 00:05:55.380 --> 00:05:56.481
- You're not just an expert on nutrition and health.
- 00:05:56.481 --> 00:05:59.217
- You've got such a strong biblical background.
- 00:05:59.217 --> 00:06:01.453
- The bible says more about gluttony
- 00:06:01.453 --> 00:06:04.122
- Than it does drunkenness.
- 00:06:04.122 --> 00:06:06.157
- Why do you think the church
- 00:06:06.157 --> 00:06:07.225
- Has been so silent on our health and what we eat?
- 00:06:07.225 --> 00:06:10.261
- I don't know, i remember years ago
- 00:06:10.261 --> 00:06:12.897
- Wondering when the church was going
- 00:06:12.897 --> 00:06:14.332
- To talk about marriage, and now it is ubiquitous.
- 00:06:14.332 --> 00:06:17.168
- Churches have marriage conferences.
- 00:06:17.168 --> 00:06:18.703
- People are preaching it
- 00:06:18.703 --> 00:06:19.571
- From the pulpit.
- 00:06:19.571 --> 00:06:20.505
- Then i was thinking, when are they going to
- 00:06:20.505 --> 00:06:21.506
- Talk about money?
- 00:06:21.506 --> 00:06:22.740
- And we've seen a revolution with starting with larry burkett
- 00:06:22.740 --> 00:06:26.344
- And ending with dave ramsey.
- 00:06:26.344 --> 00:06:28.213
- How to manage your finances
- 00:06:28.213 --> 00:06:29.581
- I think health is kind of the last bastion
- 00:06:29.581 --> 00:06:32.317
- That we're ready to tackle.
- 00:06:32.317 --> 00:06:33.785
- And as much as
- 00:06:33.785 --> 00:06:34.519
- I appreciate secretary kennedy
- 00:06:34.519 --> 00:06:36.588
- And those that are surrounding him, i want the church.
- 00:06:36.588 --> 00:06:39.591
- I want god to get credit for what was always his idea.
- 00:06:39.591 --> 00:06:43.161
- And i can't answer why.
- 00:06:43.661 --> 00:06:45.763
- We don't want to mess with people's diets.
- 00:06:45.763 --> 00:06:47.599
- But i remember years ago i was blessed to be mentored
- 00:06:47.599 --> 00:06:50.001
- By doctor charles stanley, and i helped take his staff
- 00:06:50.001 --> 00:06:54.239
- Through my early book, the maker's diet program,
- 00:06:54.239 --> 00:06:57.876
- And we were able to lower health insurance costs by 20%.
- 00:06:57.876 --> 00:07:01.980
- This was a
- 00:07:01.980 --> 00:07:03.147
- Self-insured organization with just a six week program
- 00:07:03.147 --> 00:07:06.951
- And making some minor tweaks to their food service.
- 00:07:06.951 --> 00:07:10.822
- And i remember, him
- 00:07:10.822 --> 00:07:13.625
- Telling me how important it was for him personally to live
- 00:07:13.625 --> 00:07:17.695
- And preach into his older age, which he clearly did.
- 00:07:17.695 --> 00:07:21.466
- And not many people know this, but he made health
- 00:07:21.466 --> 00:07:23.968
- A real priority.
- 00:07:23.968 --> 00:07:25.336
- And it's a sacrifice because it is easier.
- 00:07:25.336 --> 00:07:28.573
- And it, frankly, is more addicting and tastes better
- 00:07:28.573 --> 00:07:32.310
- To consume fast food and go the way of the world.
- 00:07:32.310 --> 00:07:35.380
- But, i will say this, and i hope you agree at this point,
- 00:07:35.380 --> 00:07:39.350
- Eating god's food is not only delicious,
- 00:07:40.218 --> 00:07:42.820
- But the health benefits are even more so.
- 00:07:42.820 --> 00:07:45.423
- Absolutely.
- 00:07:45.423 --> 00:07:46.524
- And for full disclosure, i've been trying to follow
- 00:07:46.524 --> 00:07:48.526
- Some of your protocols for a few months.
- 00:07:48.526 --> 00:07:50.194
- Trying is an understatement.
- 00:07:50.194 --> 00:07:51.763
- You've been excelling at it.
- 00:07:51.763 --> 00:07:54.299
- Well, i hope you stay with us for another segment.
- 00:07:54.299 --> 00:07:56.634
- I want to hear more about your multi collagen protein
- 00:07:56.634 --> 00:07:59.504
- And some other wisdom about living to 100.
- 00:07:59.504 --> 00:08:02.307
- You can write me an email
- 00:08:02.307 --> 00:08:03.308
- If you want to jump in on this discussion.
- 00:08:03.308 --> 00:08:04.842
- Just don't ask me about the health
- 00:08:04.842 --> 00:08:06.210
- Benefits of oreos and cheez doodles.
- 00:08:06.210 --> 00:08:08.713
- I'll be right back.
- 00:08:08.713 --> 00:08:15.010
- I'll be right back.
- 00:08:15.010 --> 00:08:17.702
- We're back with jordan rubin.
- 00:08:18.336 --> 00:08:20.104
- We're trying to get
- 00:08:20.104 --> 00:08:21.339
- Ahead of the white house effort to make america healthy again.
- 00:08:21.339 --> 00:08:23.975
- I know you've been saying for years recommending
- 00:08:24.942 --> 00:08:27.211
- You're multi-column and protein.
- 00:08:27.211 --> 00:08:29.280
- Tell us who that is for and what it does.
- 00:08:29.280 --> 00:08:32.216
- Well, i always like to say a supplement is in addition
- 00:08:32.216 --> 00:08:35.586
- To your healthy diet or your hopefully healthy diet,
- 00:08:35.586 --> 00:08:39.423
- Because let's face it, we eat multiple times a day,
- 00:08:39.423 --> 00:08:41.993
- And whatever we take in a powder or a pill is going to
- 00:08:41.993 --> 00:08:44.629
- Fit in the palm of our hand.
- 00:08:44.629 --> 00:08:46.163
- But we've tried to identify areas where people are missing
- 00:08:46.163 --> 00:08:49.900
- Key nutrients and beneficial compounds
- 00:08:49.900 --> 00:08:52.436
- And our ancestors, and maybe having a jewish background.
- 00:08:52.436 --> 00:08:56.374
- I don't have to look very far
- 00:08:56.374 --> 00:08:58.209
- To find the fact that they consumed broths.
- 00:08:58.209 --> 00:09:01.212
- Or we could call it chicken soup.
- 00:09:01.212 --> 00:09:02.880
- But every nation in the world, when they ate animals,
- 00:09:02.880 --> 00:09:06.317
- They would eat the meat
- 00:09:06.317 --> 00:09:07.418
- And they would
- 00:09:07.418 --> 00:09:08.552
- Make some type of an extract or broth from the bones.
- 00:09:08.552 --> 00:09:11.856
- And i estimate about 30% of the protein
- 00:09:11.856 --> 00:09:15.059
- Of our ancestors came from broth.
- 00:09:15.059 --> 00:09:17.862
- And when you study what broth is made
- 00:09:17.862 --> 00:09:19.697
- Of, it's made of collagen.
- 00:09:19.697 --> 00:09:21.365
- And not coincidentally, our bones, joints, ligaments,
- 00:09:21.365 --> 00:09:25.336
- Tendons, skin, hair and nails are also comprised of collagen.
- 00:09:25.336 --> 00:09:29.674
- But if you look at today's diet with chicken nuggets and ground
- 00:09:29.674 --> 00:09:33.911
- Beef burgers, fish, that is really just a filet.
- 00:09:33.911 --> 00:09:37.581
- We have eliminated that from our diet
- 00:09:37.581 --> 00:09:39.450
- And our joints are suffering our ligaments, our tendons.
- 00:09:39.450 --> 00:09:42.653
- If you're a sports fan, you're seeing these quote
- 00:09:42.653 --> 00:09:44.789
- Unquote non-contact injuries of the elbow of the achilles
- 00:09:44.789 --> 00:09:49.660
- Shoulder knee far more than ever.
- 00:09:49.660 --> 00:09:52.997
- So we developed something years ago,
- 00:09:52.997 --> 00:09:55.132
- I want to say, 8 or 9 years ago
- 00:09:55.132 --> 00:09:56.600
- Now called multi collagen protein
- 00:09:56.600 --> 00:09:58.703
- To supply these missing proteins from our diet.
- 00:09:58.703 --> 00:10:01.739
- I've often said when asked, is this a miracle?
- 00:10:01.739 --> 00:10:05.643
- Someone will say, is vitamin d a miracle?
- 00:10:05.643 --> 00:10:07.778
- It seems like it.
- 00:10:07.778 --> 00:10:08.679
- If you're in
- 00:10:08.679 --> 00:10:09.914
- Washington state in february when you don't get any sunlight.
- 00:10:09.914 --> 00:10:12.983
- But if you're in south florida in july, vitamin d doesn't
- 00:10:12.983 --> 00:10:16.554
- Do much for you.
- 00:10:16.554 --> 00:10:17.655
- Point being, what you're missing may be your miracle.
- 00:10:17.655 --> 00:10:21.125
- And so i think with multi collagen protein what we love is
- 00:10:21.125 --> 00:10:24.228
- We're seeing grandparents be able to walk up steps
- 00:10:24.228 --> 00:10:27.565
- Without pain.
- 00:10:27.565 --> 00:10:28.733
- Or we're seeing athletes being able to recover faster.
- 00:10:28.733 --> 00:10:32.236
- We're seeing people
- 00:10:32.236 --> 00:10:33.771
- Say their skin looks better their their hair etc..
- 00:10:33.771 --> 00:10:37.007
- So it really is an interesting missing link.
- 00:10:37.007 --> 00:10:39.844
- I would prefer people make bone broth and stocks and soups,
- 00:10:39.844 --> 00:10:43.914
- But if they're not going to do that,
- 00:10:43.914 --> 00:10:45.649
- You can add multi collagen protein to smoothies. i do it
- 00:10:45.649 --> 00:10:48.319
- To my athletic and non-athletic children's smoothies.
- 00:10:48.319 --> 00:10:52.556
- My wife gets a coffee every day that i make for her two scoops.
- 00:10:52.556 --> 00:10:56.494
- And she is, in her 50s and looks like she's in her 20s.
- 00:10:56.494 --> 00:11:01.198
- But this is just something that she's used to.
- 00:11:01.198 --> 00:11:03.768
- And she even says to me, if she's on the road or
- 00:11:03.768 --> 00:11:06.704
- If somehow she doesn't have collagen or coffee,
- 00:11:06.704 --> 00:11:08.873
- She doesn't like the taste anymore.
- 00:11:08.873 --> 00:11:10.341
- She's not used to it. so tasteless.
- 00:11:10.341 --> 00:11:12.743
- Virtually odorless mixes. easy.
- 00:11:12.743 --> 00:11:14.945
- You can sneak it in pancakes, spaghetti sauce,
- 00:11:14.945 --> 00:11:17.481
- Smoothies and juices.
- 00:11:17.481 --> 00:11:18.983
- And it's great in coffee, so it's just something that
- 00:11:18.983 --> 00:11:21.652
- We have created as a useful tool to augment a healthy diet.
- 00:11:21.652 --> 00:11:26.090
- Well, according to robert f kennedy jr,
- 00:11:26.891 --> 00:11:28.793
- Our young people are growing up
- 00:11:28.793 --> 00:11:30.294
- With more health issues than ever before.
- 00:11:30.294 --> 00:11:32.630
- But he's been encouraged that politicians he's met
- 00:11:32.630 --> 00:11:34.932
- With are ready to work together
- 00:11:34.932 --> 00:11:36.534
- On the health of people of all ages.
- 00:11:36.534 --> 00:11:38.769
- Listen to how he put it.
- 00:11:38.769 --> 00:11:40.671
- I will do everything in my power
- 00:11:40.671 --> 00:11:43.274
- To put the health of americans back on track,
- 00:11:43.274 --> 00:11:46.544
- And i've been greatly heartened to discover
- 00:11:46.544 --> 00:11:48.712
- A deep level of care
- 00:11:48.712 --> 00:11:49.980
- Among members of this committee of democrats and republicans.
- 00:11:49.980 --> 00:11:54.051
- We have massive health problems
- 00:11:54.051 --> 00:11:55.786
- In this country that we must face honestly.
- 00:11:55.786 --> 00:11:59.557
- And the first thing i've done every morning
- 00:11:59.557 --> 00:12:01.792
- For the past 20 years
- 00:12:01.792 --> 00:12:03.961
- Is to get on my knees and pray to god that he would
- 00:12:03.961 --> 00:12:07.598
- Put me in a position to end the chronic disease
- 00:12:07.598 --> 00:12:10.901
- Epidemic and to help america's children.
- 00:12:10.901 --> 00:12:15.239
- I would
- 00:12:15.472 --> 00:12:16.273
- Imagine you have to be encouraged
- 00:12:16.273 --> 00:12:17.241
- That this is finally on the national agenda.
- 00:12:17.241 --> 00:12:19.543
- I mean, you've been working at this a while.
- 00:12:19.543 --> 00:12:21.011
- Well, i'm encouraged that someone prayed for 20 years
- 00:12:21.011 --> 00:12:24.381
- And god answered their prayer so specifically and powerfully.
- 00:12:24.381 --> 00:12:27.751
- First and foremost, i last was with bobby kennedy
- 00:12:27.751 --> 00:12:33.023
- At gold's gym last march in, venice beach.
- 00:12:33.023 --> 00:12:38.229
- And let's just say that he is little over 20 years my elder
- 00:12:38.229 --> 00:12:43.434
- And not sure i could lift as much on the bench press
- 00:12:43.434 --> 00:12:46.971
- Or do as many pull ups
- 00:12:46.971 --> 00:12:47.938
- As he did, but he's a committed person to this.
- 00:12:47.938 --> 00:12:51.809
- And, i've seen him and been with him over the years
- 00:12:51.809 --> 00:12:54.945
- At various conferences.
- 00:12:54.945 --> 00:12:56.213
- And let's just say he was not treated with the same esteem
- 00:12:56.213 --> 00:13:00.050
- That he is being by many today because his ideas
- 00:13:00.050 --> 00:13:03.387
- Were seen as radical.
- 00:13:03.387 --> 00:13:04.488
- But for someone who comes from the family, he does.
- 00:13:04.488 --> 00:13:07.491
- He's been fighting for freedom, anti-police of our waters.
- 00:13:07.491 --> 00:13:11.128
- He's been fighting for medical freedom in a choice
- 00:13:11.128 --> 00:13:15.499
- And understanding that maybe we don't need 40 vaccines
- 00:13:15.499 --> 00:13:19.536
- Or 70 vaccines for our children when there used to be three.
- 00:13:19.536 --> 00:13:23.140
- And you can label him or me whatever you want.
- 00:13:23.140 --> 00:13:25.943
- But at the end of the day,
- 00:13:25.943 --> 00:13:27.211
- When you look at someone who has a consistent message
- 00:13:27.211 --> 00:13:30.180
- And who is simply asking you to become educated and question
- 00:13:30.180 --> 00:13:33.550
- The norms, i think that is the person you want to listen to.
- 00:13:33.550 --> 00:13:37.488
- And so i can't tell you how excited i am
- 00:13:37.488 --> 00:13:41.392
- That this has happened.
- 00:13:41.392 --> 00:13:42.293
- I remember early in the trump campaign
- 00:13:42.293 --> 00:13:45.663
- When rfk jr was against him, in a sense running against him.
- 00:13:45.663 --> 00:13:51.502
- I was very torn.
- 00:13:51.502 --> 00:13:52.603
- And i clearly vote on biblical principles
- 00:13:52.603 --> 00:13:55.973
- Of the rights of children to live and the murderous,
- 00:13:55.973 --> 00:14:01.979
- Behavior that is abortion,
- 00:14:02.546 --> 00:14:04.682
- Marriage between a man and a woman. and,
- 00:14:04.682 --> 00:14:08.585
- We'll call it gender identity, but it's how god created you.
- 00:14:08.585 --> 00:14:11.455
- It's your biblical identity creation, identity.
- 00:14:11.455 --> 00:14:14.091
- But it bothered me that the side that i often vote on
- 00:14:14.091 --> 00:14:18.228
- Seemed to be turning a blind eye to the health crisis
- 00:14:18.228 --> 00:14:21.966
- Of our children and our elderly and everyone in between.
- 00:14:21.966 --> 00:14:25.135
- And so when this,
- 00:14:25.135 --> 00:14:27.204
- Partnership came together, i was absolutely delighted.
- 00:14:27.204 --> 00:14:30.574
- Not everybody agrees with everybody on everything,
- 00:14:30.574 --> 00:14:33.610
- But i am more hopeful than i have been in my entire life
- 00:14:33.610 --> 00:14:36.413
- That we're going to see a leap forward in freedom.
- 00:14:36.413 --> 00:14:40.417
- And that's really what jesus died for.
- 00:14:40.417 --> 00:14:43.053
- It says in the bible, jesus died so that we could be free.
- 00:14:43.053 --> 00:14:46.490
- And the truth,
- 00:14:46.490 --> 00:14:47.658
- Which jesus is the truth if we know it, will set us free.
- 00:14:47.658 --> 00:14:51.328
- So i'm looking at this administration.
- 00:14:51.328 --> 00:14:53.564
- I'm not saying that, donald trump is a spirit filled,
- 00:14:53.564 --> 00:14:57.601
- Born again believer, and i'm not saying he isn't.
- 00:14:57.601 --> 00:14:59.703
- I'm not commenting on rfk jr's,
- 00:14:59.703 --> 00:15:02.840
- Prayer life, even though he clearly has one according
- 00:15:03.907 --> 00:15:06.343
- To that message, or where he may or may not attend church.
- 00:15:06.343 --> 00:15:09.580
- But what i know is they are sharing the truth.
- 00:15:09.580 --> 00:15:13.083
- And if we will believe it, it will make us free.
- 00:15:13.083 --> 00:15:15.953
- And that's what gets me so excited.
- 00:15:15.953 --> 00:15:17.521
- And i'm honored to be playing whatever role
- 00:15:17.521 --> 00:15:21.492
- I can in people's lives.
- 00:15:21.492 --> 00:15:23.560
- And i think having the wind at our back
- 00:15:23.560 --> 00:15:26.096
- Instead of on our face, preaching this message of health
- 00:15:26.096 --> 00:15:30.167
- And hope is just going to be awesome.
- 00:15:30.167 --> 00:15:33.470
- What we can say definitively is that a biblical worldview
- 00:15:33.470 --> 00:15:36.407
- Will make you healthier,
- 00:15:36.407 --> 00:15:37.641
- More peaceful, and bring freedom to your life.
- 00:15:37.641 --> 00:15:40.277
- That's good news.
- 00:15:40.277 --> 00:15:41.545
- We're going to take a short break.
- 00:15:41.545 --> 00:15:49.010
- We're going to take a short break.
- 00:15:49.010 --> 00:15:51.590
- We're back with jordan rubin.
- 00:15:52.224 --> 00:15:54.060
- One more quick question, jordan.
- 00:15:54.060 --> 00:15:55.861
- A lot of people believe that we could save
- 00:15:55.861 --> 00:15:57.496
- A great deal of money on health care
- 00:15:57.496 --> 00:15:59.198
- By first spending money
- 00:15:59.198 --> 00:16:00.533
- On our health, rather than spending it on disease
- 00:16:00.533 --> 00:16:02.935
- After the damage is already done.
- 00:16:02.935 --> 00:16:04.870
- That seem right? absolutely.
- 00:16:04.870 --> 00:16:06.639
- They say an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
- 00:16:06.639 --> 00:16:09.642
- And, what will have prevented it may actually cure it.
- 00:16:09.642 --> 00:16:14.480
- So that's kind of how i live.
- 00:16:14.480 --> 00:16:16.182
- Another good adage you either pay the farmer
- 00:16:16.182 --> 00:16:18.384
- More now or the doctor more later.
- 00:16:18.384 --> 00:16:20.119
- And i think we really need to understand
- 00:16:20.119 --> 00:16:23.556
- What our responsibility is as children of god.
- 00:16:23.556 --> 00:16:26.092
- First corinthians 619 says, do you not know that your body
- 00:16:26.092 --> 00:16:29.695
- Is the spirit of god, that the spirit of god dwells in you?
- 00:16:29.695 --> 00:16:33.799
- Therefore, honor god with your body and your spirit.
- 00:16:33.799 --> 00:16:36.669
- And this is in a connotation of sexual sin.
- 00:16:36.669 --> 00:16:39.939
- But if you look at it
- 00:16:39.939 --> 00:16:41.073
- In its entirety, in its original language,
- 00:16:41.073 --> 00:16:44.043
- It talks about all facets of how you live,
- 00:16:44.043 --> 00:16:47.012
- How you breathe, how you eat, how you think.
- 00:16:47.012 --> 00:16:49.381
- And so i believe taking action steps now, especially
- 00:16:49.381 --> 00:16:53.119
- With your young people, your children,
- 00:16:53.119 --> 00:16:55.287
- No matter how old they are,
- 00:16:55.287 --> 00:16:56.622
- Is going to pay huge dividends in the years to come.
- 00:16:56.622 --> 00:17:00.159
- Well, jordan
- 00:17:00.493 --> 00:17:01.660
- Rubin, thank you for your time and for your wisdom today.
- 00:17:01.660 --> 00:17:03.996
- It's great to be here always.
- 00:17:03.996 --> 00:17:06.432
- Well, jordan has many great books
- 00:17:06.432 --> 00:17:07.933
- That you might be interested in.
- 00:17:07.933 --> 00:17:09.502
- We've got that address posted at aj now.com.
- 00:17:09.502 --> 00:17:12.938
- My wife and i are encouraged to see
- 00:17:12.938 --> 00:17:14.440
- This new national focus on health in a moment.
- 00:17:14.440 --> 00:17:18.210

- 00:17:34.195 --> 00:17:35.796
- We run freedom farms in upstate new york,
- 00:17:35.796 --> 00:17:38.132
- And we saw your show with caroline carrera.
- 00:17:38.132 --> 00:17:40.902
- What a great message for your viewers
- 00:17:40.902 --> 00:17:42.904
- Helping to spread the word about the benefits
- 00:17:42.904 --> 00:17:44.906
- Of buying meat and vegetables directly from local farmers.
- 00:17:44.906 --> 00:17:47.875
- It's far more healthy, and you're also supporting
- 00:17:47.875 --> 00:17:49.810
- Your neighbors in the process.
- 00:17:49.810 --> 00:17:51.479
- Clean soil.
- 00:17:51.479 --> 00:17:52.547
- Clean air makes for the healthiest, clean food.
- 00:17:52.547 --> 00:17:55.149
- I hope you keep using your show
- 00:17:55.149 --> 00:17:56.384
- To showcase these best practices that will give your viewers
- 00:17:56.384 --> 00:17:59.520
- The healthiest life possible.
- 00:17:59.520 --> 00:18:02.356
- Well, we're trying.
- 00:18:02.356 --> 00:18:03.491
- We certainly have taken a step forward with that today.
- 00:18:03.491 --> 00:18:06.194
- You know, for me, the revelation is we honor god with what
- 00:18:06.194 --> 00:18:09.730
- We put on our fork,
- 00:18:09.730 --> 00:18:10.965
- Not just where we sit on sunday morning for a worship service.
- 00:18:10.965 --> 00:18:14.302
- How we treat our bodies and our attitude towards food
- 00:18:14.302 --> 00:18:17.338
- Is an expression of worship,
- 00:18:17.338 --> 00:18:19.273
- Just as
- 00:18:19.273 --> 00:18:19.974
- Much as when the musicians play
- 00:18:19.974 --> 00:18:21.642
- And we sing our favorite choruses.
- 00:18:21.642 --> 00:18:23.644
- For me, that's been a change of thought
- 00:18:23.644 --> 00:18:25.213
- And it's been good for me.
- 00:18:25.213 --> 00:18:28.015
- Nancy commented on a
- 00:18:28.482 --> 00:18:29.650
- Youtube episode with representative aaron bean.
- 00:18:29.650 --> 00:18:32.820
- The amount of hate, evil, waste and fraud in
- 00:18:32.820 --> 00:18:35.489
- Our government has left us trillions of dollars in debt.
- 00:18:35.489 --> 00:18:38.793
- How any person would want to harm the people trying
- 00:18:38.793 --> 00:18:41.162
- So hard to get us out of debt is something
- 00:18:41.162 --> 00:18:43.731
- That can't be understood without thinking of evil.
- 00:18:43.731 --> 00:18:47.268
- Well, nancy, i agree with you.
- 00:18:47.868 --> 00:18:50.071
- And it also seems to me to be it's
- 00:18:50.071 --> 00:18:51.939
- An expression of the game plan we've seen before.
- 00:18:51.939 --> 00:18:54.842
- Was it too many years ago that our cities were burning
- 00:18:54.842 --> 00:18:57.445
- With most mostly peaceful protest?
- 00:18:57.445 --> 00:19:00.881
- And once again, we see that pattern of violence being used
- 00:19:00.881 --> 00:19:04.452
- To try to disrupt policies that they don't agree with.
- 00:19:04.452 --> 00:19:07.722
- We can't accept it, and it is evil.
- 00:19:07.722 --> 00:19:10.057
- And we've got to use our voices to stand up.
- 00:19:10.057 --> 00:19:12.760
