Summary

What if the cure for cancer, diabetes, and chronic disease has been hiding in Scripture all along—not as metaphor, but as literal medicine growing in your backyard? What if the Bible has laid out the best practices for our nutrition?Dr. Josh Axe (bestselling author and functional medicine practitioner) and Jordan Rubin (founder of Garden of Life, author of The Maker's Diet) join us to discuss their groundbreaking book The Biblio Diet, which synthesizes 6,000 years of biblical nutrition into practical health wisdom for modern Christians. Both men survived death-defying diagnoses—Jordan overcame terminal Crohn's disease and metastatic cancer, while Josh recovered from a spinal infection that doctors said would permanently disable him.We discuss what Solomon actually ate (spoiler: bread and red meat—things no modern diet recommends), why the food pyramid is inverted, how Big Pharma's "sorcery" (pharmakeia in Greek) has deceived nations, and why pork and shellfish aren't in God's definition of "food."But the revelation that changes everything? Ezekiel 47:12 and Revelation 22:2 both describe the Tree of Life's leaves as medicine for healing nations. Not metaphorically. Literally. Join us for a journey deep into the scriptures, offering a remarkable deep dive into ancient truths for modern bodies in need of restoration.

0:14.5	Jesus got those keys to the kingdom back, and I believe one of those is the keys to undo the
0:20.5	curse on the earth and transform our bodies and start getting that longevity back.
0:25.7	I don't believe like biohackers, I'm going to live to 180 or 200, but I do believe it's possible to live like Moses.
0:32.4	And at 120 years, the Bible says his eyes were undimmed and his strength or vigor was unabated.
0:38.9	That's what we're looking for. I don't want to live till 180, and I certainly don't
0:44.0	want to live till even 90 and be on 12 medications and wither away and be sick.
0:48.0	But I want the longevity of Moses and Caleb and Jacob and Joseph and Abraham and it's possible and I believe healing leaves
0:57.0	this tree of life concept is part of it and I think this message was saved for such a time as this

1:10.0	would have been in our office on Josh's podcast.
1:12.7	This is before he was named. I wouldn't believe, believe you.
1:16.1	If you would believe that a colleague of ours is hopefully the soon-to-be surgeon general, if that ever happens,
1:22.1	I wouldn't have believed you.
1:23.6	Like, there's a groundswell, but the church is usually late to the game because food is
1:29.6	their last sacred sort of indiscretion that they don't want people to take away in fact food has
1:36.3	been used to draw people in to celebrate with the youth i Josh and I were helping a good friend of

1:45.3	youth pastor and evangelist to youth and his comment was, I follow the typical youth pastor diet.
