    66. Herbal Oxymels: Ancient Medicine for Modern Digestion

    Interested in working together but need more info? Schedule A Healthy By Design Wellness Consult Here! 🎙️ Episode 66. Herbal Oxymels: Ancient Medicine for Modern Digestion Oxymels are one of the oldest—and most forgotten—forms of herbal medicine. Long before pills, powders, and protocols, healing came through food, herbs, and rhythm. In this episode, we explore how oxymels—made from vinegar, honey, and herbs—support digestion gently and powerfully, especially for women living without a gallbladder. Rooted in Scripture, tradition, and modern digestive science, this conversation brings Psalm 104:14 to life, reminding us that God created herbs for our service—not as an afterthought, but as part of His original design for nourishment and healing.   This episode is especially supportive for those struggling with bloating, fat digestion, hormone imbalance, nervous system dysregulation, or digestive symptoms after gallbladder removal.   In this episode, we talk about:   🌿 What an herbal oxymel is and why this ancient remedy is still relevant today 🧪 The modern science behind vinegar, honey, and herbs—and why their benefits compound when combined 🫙 How oxymels gently support digestion, bile flow, and fat absorption without a gallbladder 🧠 Why calming the nervous system is essential for digestion—and how oxymels help activate “rest and digest” 💛 Why oxymels are ideal for sensitive systems that don’t tolerate harsh supplements 🥄 How anyone can make an oxymel at home with just a jar, herbs, vinegar, and honey     📖 Key Scripture: He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth.

    65. Use Food As Medicine: What Does That Even Mean?

    Interested in working together but need more info? Schedule A Healthy By Design Wellness Consult Here! 🎙️ Episode 65. Use Food As Medicine: What Does That Even Mean?   When we hear food as medicine, most people think cleaner eating, fewer carbs, or more supplements. But biblically and historically, food was never just fuel — it was instruction.   From Genesis to ancient healing systems, food was designed to communicate with the body, restore balance, and support healing at a cellular level.   In this episode, we explore:   🌱 Food as God designed it: Healing was never about restriction — it was about restoration, balance, and rhythm.   🧭 Why “food as medicine” feels so confusing today. Superfoods and strict diets miss the original framework that actually teaches the body how to heal.   🍋 The Six Tastes (the body’s forgotten language). A simple, ancient system that explains why cravings happen and why meals can feel incomplete.   🧠 Why a pinch is enough. How taste signals in the gut and brain respond to even small amounts — and why more food isn’t always better.   💛 Why this matters even more without a gallbladder. How taste signaling supports digestion, hormones, bile flow, and inflammation — for anyone seeking lasting health.   This episode is an introduction, not the full training — but it may change how you listen to your body forever.   👉 To go deeper, explore Healthy By Design: The Creator’s Blueprint for Healthy Living.   📖 Key Scripture: And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.

    64. The Science of Sabbath: How Rest Heals the Body, Brain & Liver

    Interested in working together but need more info? Schedule A Healthy By Design Wellness Consult: https://calendly.com/jamimcquivey 🎙️ Episode 64. The Science of Sabbath: How Rest Heals the Body, Brain & Liver If you’re doing all the “right” things — supplements, protocols, fasting, detoxing — but your body still feels stuck, inflamed, or resistant to healing, this episode is for you.   Long before modern medicine or biohacking, God built a healing rhythm directly into creation. In Genesis 2:2–3, rest wasn’t an afterthought — it was blessed, sanctified, and designed as part of how the body, brain, and spirit recover. In this episode, we explore why constant effort can actually slow healing, and how Sabbath rest restores balance on a biological, neurological, and spiritual level.   This conversation is especially important for those healing liver dysfunction, navigating life without a gallbladder, or experiencing chronic stress, adrenal fatigue, or digestive imbalance.   In this episode, we talk about: 🪓 Why the lumberjack who stopped to sharpen his axe outperformed the one who never rested 📖 What Genesis 2:2–3 reveals about God’s original design for healing — before sickness ever existed 🧠 How Sabbath rest resets the nervous system and moves the body into “rest and digest” mode 💛 Why liver and gallbladder healing require rhythm — especially after gallbladder removal 🌿 How weekly rest from food, supplements, and protocols can actually accelerate healing and build trust 📖 Key Scripture: Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
