00:47 >> Hello and thank you 00:48 for joining us on 00:49 It Is Written Canada. 00:52 Our guest today is 00:53 Carolyn Nichol who is a 00:55 certified wholistic 00:56 nutritionist and also the 00:58 co-owner and manager of the 01:01 Energy Shack Juice Bar 01:03 in Scarborough, Ontario. 01:05 [Mike] Carolyn, thank you for 01:06 joining us again on 01:07 It Is Written Canada. 01:09 >> Thank you so much for 01:09 having me! 01:10 It has been so wonderful to be 01:12 able to share all these amazing 01:14 testimonies that have inspired 01:16 me as well as I hope the 01:19 listening viewers as well. 01:21 >> And they have been 01:22 inspirational and if anyone 01:24 hasn't watched those, please 01:25 take a look at our webpage or 01:27 our YouTube channel or 01:29 wherever you can find them 01:30 online because those programs 01:32 were amazing and those 01:33 success stories. 01:34 So those success stories, 01:35 they were mostly around food, 01:37 but what is the part that 01:38 genetics plays in health? 01:40 >> Yeah, so that's a 01:41 great question. 01:42 Scientifically speaking, 01:44 genetics plays less than a 10% 01:47 role, if you can imagine. 01:49 You know, genetics loads the 01:51 gun, but our lifestyle is what 01:54 truly pulls the trigger 01:55 on health. 01:57 So just because my parents 01:59 have diabetes or high blood 02:00 pressure it doesn't mean I 02:01 have to have it and I don't 02:03 have it because they have it, 02:04 I generally have it because of 02:06 the way that I'm eating 02:07 and living. 02:09 >> So that has an influence. 02:11 >> Yeah, so again, genetics 02:13 may be there, but it doesn't 02:15 mean you have to have those 02:17 diseases just because your 02:18 parents had it. 02:19 Again, it's less than 10%. 02:22 We need to really get out of 02:23 our mind that "I have this" 02:24 "disease," or "I have this" 02:26 "problem because I've" 02:27 "inherited it." 02:28 You can-- I think, you know-- 02:30 Scientifically speaking, we 02:32 all have cancer cells in our 02:33 body, but do we feed them or 02:35 do we starve them? 02:37 And again, that's not the 02:38 answer to cancer, but the 02:40 reality is is that most of our 02:42 issues or health issues are 02:44 lifestyle related, 02:46 not always genetics. 02:47 [Mike] Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. 02:49 >> So, Carolyn, I understand 02:51 that you specialize in 02:53 digestive issues. 02:55 >> Mm-hmm. 02:56 >> And so that really covers a 02:59 broad range of conditions, 03:00 doesn't it? 03:01 >> Oh, it sure does and 03:04 the reason why I like to say I 03:05 specialize in digestion issues 03:07 is because in my business food 03:09 is your medicine. 03:10 I'm not big on supplements. 03:11 Yes, I use them, but 03:13 supplements are good for 03:15 speedy healing for a short 03:16 period of time. 03:17 You don't want to live off 03:18 supplements. 03:19 We wanna be able to let food be 03:21 our medicine, the rhythm in 03:23 which we eat and, you know, if 03:25 I cannot help you with the 03:27 food you eat because you're 03:28 not digesting right, I really 03:30 can't help you fix 03:31 anything else. 03:32 So my first focus is to make 03:34 sure you're not feeling 03:35 bloated and gassy, the acid 03:37 reflux is gone. 03:39 So that's really where I focus 03:40 first and especially those 03:42 with deep-set, you know, 03:44 Crohn's and diverticulitis, 03:45 those kinds of issues, 03:47 we are really able to help 03:48 people get right out of the 03:50 woods with those issues. 03:51 And you're gonna hear a 03:53 testimony right now of Noreen 03:54 where she was already 03:56 plant-based. 03:58 You know, not all plant foods 03:59 are created equally. 04:00 There's a lot of foods that 04:02 can be "plant-based," but are 04:03 not so healthy for you. 04:05 And she struggled with 04:06 digestion issues and pains for 04:08 so long that, you'll hear, she 04:11 actually lost an organ over 04:11 it, but I'll tell you even 04:13 after that, the pain didn't 04:16 leave until, praise the Lord, 04:18 she walked into the Energy 04:19 Shack and we had the privilege 04:21 of properly leading her 04:23 through the laws of health. 04:24 Here's her story. 04:27 >> Hi, my name's Noreen Etto, 04:28 I'm 44 years old, I'm a mother 04:30 of five, and I'm an elementary 04:31 school teacher. 04:32 So this is my story: 04:34 I had a lot of excruciating 04:35 pain in my fourth pregnancy 04:36 around 2011. 04:38 Like pain in my right side, 04:39 my back, I'd be limping when I 04:41 walked, and people could tell 04:42 I was in pain. 04:44 And I went to the doctor, did 04:45 an ultrasound, and sure 04:46 enough, I had gall stones, or 04:48 a gall stone they said, it was 04:49 wedged in there. 04:50 And they said, you know, you 04:51 have to get surgery and I'm 04:52 like, "I don't want surgery," 04:54 "never want surgery," 04:55 "I've never had surgery." 04:56 So I went to a naturopath. 04:58 Now this particular naturopath 04:59 dismissed the Epsom salt, 05:02 lemon juice, and olive oil 05:03 expulsion of a gall stone. 05:05 She said it was an 05:06 old wives' tale. 05:07 She recommended some things to 05:08 add to my diet like beets and 05:10 carrots, but I didn't have any 05:12 changes, I still had the pain 05:13 and I'm like, "OK, this" 05:14 "isn't working." 05:15 So after that we decided-- 05:17 my husband and I, we decided, 05:18 'cause the pain was really bad 05:19 and I have a high pain 05:21 tolerance level, but I had to 05:22 get surgery. 05:23 So I got the surgery and it 05:25 was probably the most fearful 05:25 day of my life, 05:26 but guess what? 05:27 The pain was still there. 05:29 So I went on Pathways to 05:32 Wholeness's website and-- 05:33 'cause I'd been to their 05:34 "Dinner with a Doctor" things 05:35 and I saw that Energy Shack 05:36 was linked to them and I said, 05:37 "Hey, I know Energy Shack," 05:38 "my husband used to go there" 05:39 "a lot and get juice." 05:40 So I filled out her-- 05:41 Carolyn's intake form and she 05:43 called me in two days and she 05:44 said, "Noreen, you have too" 05:45 "much wheat in your diet." 05:46 "You've got to change your" 05:48 "diet with the wheat," 05:49 "it's not good for you," 05:51 "it's so genetically" 05:52 "modified." 05:53 And so she gave me-- told me I 05:54 needed to do a three-day 05:56 juice fast and I said, 05:57 "OK, I can do that." 05:58 I drank the juice and then I 05:59 followed the fast until-- and 06:01 she gave me a nice, detailed 06:03 meal plan which I did and I 06:05 can honestly tell you within 06:06 the week my pain was gone, 06:08 like for the first time in 06:09 almost ten years I was 06:10 pain free. 06:11 And I'm still, to this day, 06:12 that's August, so it's now the 06:14 new year, it's January and I'm 06:16 still pain free and I'm-- 06:19 It's such a-- God is good, 06:20 it's such a blessing and the 06:22 bonus, my menstrual cycle 06:24 which is very heavy and I had 06:25 a lot of cramps, they lessened 06:26 as well so I got a double-- 06:28 I got a bonus. 06:29 Two for one, right? 06:30 I'm very grateful to Carolyn 06:32 and Energy Shack and their 06:33 friendly staff, they're 06:34 awesome and I would 06:35 recommend-- I've recommend it 06:37 actually to many people, I 06:38 even took her flyers and cards 06:40 and gave it to people and told 06:41 them about my testimony and 06:42 how awesome it was and I think 06:44 Energy Shack's just a blessing 06:46 to the Scarborough community 06:47 and beyond and the GTA. 06:49 So God bless Carolyn and 06:51 Energy Shack and may they 06:52 continue to witness and do 06:54 their medical missionary work 06:56 in Scarborough. 07:00 >> So I just love that 07:01 testimony because Noreen, 07:02 first of all, gives all the 07:03 glory to God which He deserves 07:05 because these are His laws of 07:06 health for sure. 07:08 I'm grateful that she's 07:09 learned how to just keep on 07:11 and I love that she used to be 07:12 plant-based because a lot of 07:13 people will say, 07:14 "Well, I'm not eating a lot" 07:15 "of meat, I'm not eating" 07:16 "a lot of these products," but 07:17 if you're not doing it right 07:19 in the rhythm of the laws of 07:21 health, honestly the healing 07:22 doesn't come so well. 07:24 And this is a picture 07:25 of Crystal. 07:26 So Crystal was actually a good 07:29 church sister friend of mine 07:31 and she was struggling with 07:32 gall stones. 07:33 She was told by her doctors 07:34 that she's a stone-maker, 07:36 there's nothing she can do 07:36 about this. 07:38 But one day after we had done 07:40 a cleanse together, she had 07:41 decided to do my program, 07:42 she was experiencing some 07:43 pain on her side. 07:45 And after telling me what it 07:46 was I said, you know, 07:47 "Put a heating pad, drink" 07:48 "some peppermint tea." 07:50 "If it's gas, that will take" 07:50 "it away, if not," 07:52 "I think you need to go to" 07:53 "the hospital." 07:54 And it didn't go away so she 07:56 went to the hospital and 07:57 wouldn't you know, she said 07:58 they said that her gall 08:00 bladder was so full of stones 08:02 and they told her that in the 08:03 morning, in just a few hours, 08:05 'cause she was there through 08:06 emergency all night, she would 08:07 have to get surgery and they 08:09 need to take her gall stone 08:10 out, there was just no option. 08:11 So after listening to what the 08:13 doctors had to say, she 08:14 actually pulled aside and 08:15 called me and said, 08:16 "Carolyn, I don't wanna lose" 08:17 "my gall bladder." 08:18 "Can you help me?" 08:19 I said, "I can promise no" 08:20 "miracles, this is a serious" 08:21 "situation, but I do have a" 08:22 "gall bladder flush." 08:24 "So if you'd like to try it" 08:25 "and you and your husband" 08:26 "are willing..." 08:27 She went home, followed my 08:28 instructions, you know, I 08:30 won't show you the graphic 08:31 details, but she sent me 08:32 pictures of, you know, the 08:35 toilet situation afterwards 08:36 and they were there, the 08:38 stones were in the toilet. 08:40 She went back to the doctors, 08:42 went back to the hospital and 08:44 they did an ultrasound and 08:46 wouldn't you know, the stones 08:47 were not in her gall bladder, 08:48 the infection was no longer 08:50 infected 'cause I gave her a 08:51 natural remedy to take and 08:53 yeah, that big one was gone. 08:55 In fact, the doctors told her 08:57 that this is impossible 'cause 08:59 natural remedies don't work, 09:00 they're lodged somewhere in 09:01 your body and she showed them 09:02 the pictures, "Nope, they're" 09:03 "in the toilet." 09:04 So, sorry, viewers, if that's 09:06 too much information, but I 09:08 just love the way that natural 09:10 remedies work because, 09:12 you know, even in a world full 09:14 of sin today, it is amazing 09:15 that God has preserved plant 09:18 food in some way that it still 09:20 brings so much healing. 09:22 That's amazing to me. 09:23 And actually just speaking of 09:25 that, we have Araceli who's 09:27 gonna share her testimony. 09:29 She had been in car accidents, 09:30 she had so much trouble 09:31 with her body. 09:33 You know, you'd think she was 09:34 unfixable because she felt so 09:36 broken and she was she was in 09:37 so much pain all the time that 09:39 she was actually no longer on 09:41 pain medications, they were 09:42 giving her injections until, 09:44 of course, praise the Lord, 09:45 she walked into the Energy 09:47 Shack, and I had the privilege 09:48 of journeying Araceli through 09:50 these laws of health. 09:51 And she's gonna show you what 09:53 happened and I love this 09:55 testimony more so 09:57 because she's sharing this 09:59 testimony more than two years 10:00 after we met. 10:02 So this wasn't, you know, 10:03 "Thirty days and I'm back." 10:05 She's-- well, I'll let 10:06 her tell. 10:08 >> In 2011 I was hit by a car 10:11 while crossing a street and a 10:13 couple years after that I was 10:15 diagnosed with thyroid cancer 10:16 and eventually had to have a 10:18 full thyroidectomy. 10:21 Additionally, two years later, 10:23 I also had suffered a 10:24 major concussion resulting 10:26 from a fall. 10:28 I came to see Carolyn as I was 10:30 overweight, I was receiving 10:34 pain-blocker shots for my back 10:37 on a monthly basis and also 10:38 was on anxiety medication. 10:41 Four weeks after being on her 10:43 nutritional program, I was 10:44 able to lose weight, I did not 10:48 have to receive any more shots 10:49 for my back and about a year 10:53 after being on her program, I 10:55 eventually was weaned off of 10:57 my anxiety medication. 10:59 I now live a very healthy and 11:02 maintain a very... 11:07 clean lifestyle and I'm so 11:08 much more happier and 11:10 healthier and full of energy. 11:14 >> I just love to hear that 11:15 story of Araceli because of 11:17 her testimony, she has shared 11:19 it with so many people that 11:20 aren't even local to me so 11:21 I've had the privilege of 11:23 being able to share with many 11:26 of her family members that are 11:27 not even here because our 11:28 program really is world-wide. 11:30 And this last story I wanna 11:32 share with you, Jackie, is so 11:35 special to me because as a 11:37 woman, you know, a young girl, 11:38 all I could dream about is, 11:40 you know, getting married and 11:41 having children. 11:42 I really, I wanted ten kids. 11:43 But, you know, she could 11:44 have zero. 11:45 She got married and she was 11:47 devastated to find out that in 11:49 her fallopian tubes tubes, 11:50 her follicles just 11:51 weren't growing. 11:53 This was just heart-breaking 11:54 for her and as a Christian, 11:56 she was just finding that even 11:58 her faith was wavering. 11:59 And when she came into my 12:00 office, we talked about it 12:02 and I said, "My dear," 12:03 "God is calling you." 12:05 She had gotten so far off 12:07 track, which she'll share in 12:08 her testimony, so far away 12:09 from God in just the things 12:11 she was doing and eating and 12:13 just acting like-- 12:15 And, you know, I said to her, 12:16 you know, "We need to pray!" 12:18 And as we pray, you know, the 12:20 tears came down and we both 12:21 cried together and I said, 12:22 you know, "This is a" 12:24 "testimony in the making," 12:25 "Jackie, I can just feel it!" 12:28 >> Hi, my name is Jackie and I 12:30 completed Energy Shack's 12:31 30-day detox program about 12:33 three months ago. 12:35 My journey started, however, 12:36 when my husband and I were 12:37 trying to get pregnant for 12:38 about a year and a half. 12:40 We decided to talk to our 12:41 doctor just to make sure that 12:42 everything was OK. 12:44 Our doctor then referred us to 12:45 a fertility clinic. 12:47 After months of testing, the 12:48 doctors diagnosed me with 12:50 PCOS: polycystic 12:52 ovary syndrome. 12:54 When the doctor made this 12:55 diagnosis, there was something 12:57 within me that just didn't 12:58 want to believe it or 12:59 accept it. 13:00 I knew God had a plan for me 13:02 and I knew that that plan did 13:04 not include this diagnosis, 13:05 but God's plan for me was to 13:07 be a mother and to birth 13:08 children. 13:10 So I started doing some 13:11 research and I found Carolyn 13:12 and the Energy Shack. 13:14 They have a plant-based detox 13:16 program so I thought I would 13:17 just give it a try. 13:19 I met with Carolyn and one of 13:20 the first things that she did 13:21 was pray with me. 13:23 She explained the laws of 13:24 health and put me on a 13:25 wholistic dietary plan. 13:27 Prior to this plan, 13:29 my day-to-day eating involved 13:31 a lot of fast food, alcohol, 13:33 and sea food. 13:34 I was addicted to coffee and 13:36 sugar and I felt like I 13:38 couldn't function without it. 13:40 Every weekday I needed at 13:41 least two espresso shots to 13:44 function and I needed a sweet 13:46 treat after every meal. 13:48 Yep, after breakfast, lunch, 13:49 and dinner I needed to 13:50 have a dessert. 13:51 That was my norm and I thought 13:52 it was OK. 13:54 Carolyn explained that I was 13:55 damaging my body. 13:57 She explained that my cells 13:58 needed to replenish and the 14:00 sugar cravings that I was 14:02 having was actually my body 14:03 crying out for nutrients. 14:05 Not only did I have to change 14:09 what I was eating, but I also 14:10 had to change my attitude. 14:12 I grew up in the church and I 14:14 had a relationship with God, 14:16 but I really had to start 14:18 living by faith despite of 14:20 what the doctors were saying 14:21 and despite of what I was 14:22 seeing or not seeing. 14:25 So I decided to stop believing 14:28 the negative reports and start 14:29 speaking God's promises 14:30 over my life. 14:32 Carolyn encouraged me to focus 14:33 on God's word and not 14:35 on my problems. 14:37 My days begun with fresh air 14:39 and the word of God. 14:40 Now three months after 14:42 completing Energy Shack's 14:43 program, I can testify that 14:45 that 30-day detox program has 14:47 turned into a complete 14:49 lifestyle change. 14:50 And by the glory of God, 14:52 I have ovulated and my 14:54 inactive ovaries have become 14:56 active and I can proudly say 14:58 that today I am pregnant. 15:00 I am eternally grateful for 15:02 the miracle-- the miracles 15:04 that I have received and the 15:06 Energy Shack. 15:08 >> Isn't that amazing? 15:10 I'll tell you, although I'm 15:11 not crying now, we shed so 15:12 many tears together when she 15:15 first told me and it's, yeah. 15:18 I mean, just as a female, as I 15:20 mentioned, and a mother, that 15:21 was so dear to my heart. 15:23 So yeah, so that is some of 15:27 the testimonies that have come 15:28 out of the Energy Shack. 15:29 We'd be here all day, all year 15:31 if we shared them all, but I 15:32 just hope people are inspired 15:34 that it doesn't take much. 15:36 But by truly following these 15:38 laws of health and if you have 15:40 any trouble with it as I 15:41 mentioned, I do-- I can do 15:43 free consultations for the 15:44 It Is Written viewers. 15:46 [René] Well, thank you, 15:47 Carolyn, those testimonies are 15:48 just miraculous. 15:50 [Carolyn] They are. 15:51 >> So you call yourself a 15:53 centre of influence. 15:55 Can you tell us a 15:56 little bit why? 15:57 >> Absolutely! 15:59 The truth of the matter is, 16:00 the smoothies, the juices, all 16:01 of that stuff just helps 16:02 people get into the door so we 16:03 can have the opportunity to 16:05 have a conversation, to meet 16:06 them where they're at. 16:08 If I get the privilege to talk 16:09 to them one-on-one, we always 16:11 offer to pray with them, 16:12 there's hymns playing in the 16:13 background, we have Christian 16:15 books and booklets that people 16:18 can take for free, we have, 16:19 you know, free booklets, CD's 16:22 with Christian music, we pray 16:24 before we open our doors, and 16:26 truly, we have a whole stack 16:28 of Bibles in our office and 16:29 Bible study guides because as 16:32 you can see in these pictures, 16:33 even my own personal trainer, 16:35 you can see he's really buff, 16:37 completely lives by the laws 16:38 of health, he hasn't had a 16:40 piece of meat to eat in two 16:41 years, keeps his biceps, he 16:44 has accepted the Sabbath day. 16:45 We have Sherwin there who came 16:47 into the store and after 16:48 reading some of the things we 16:50 had on our website, he says, 16:51 "I need to follow your laws" 16:52 "of health and please take" 16:54 "me to your church." 16:55 And he's now studying to be 16:56 baptized and even our own 16:58 marketing director has 17:00 accepted the Sabbath and 17:01 is on such a beautiful 17:02 Christian journey. 17:03 We've had the privilege of 17:05 leading people and 17:06 surrendering their life to 17:07 Jesus right in our office. 17:09 I mean, yes, it's just 17:11 incredible that we're so much 17:13 more than just a juice bar and 17:14 even as a nutritionist, I am a 17:17 medical missionary first. 17:19 >> That's wonderful. 17:21 I-- you know, the Bible says, 17:22 "Taste and see that the Lord" 17:23 "is good," and He is so good 17:26 and He gives us so many ways 17:27 in which He's working in our 17:29 lives, you know, through that 17:30 diet that He gave to Adam and 17:32 Eve in the Garden of Eden. 17:33 And so we're gonna look at 17:35 another recipe from Bev and 17:36 this is one of my favourite 17:38 nutritious, very nutritious 17:39 recipe. 17:41 >> Right now Bev is gonna make 17:43 another plant-based recipe. 17:46 But get this, you won't 17:47 believe it, she's going to 17:49 make Carrot Greens and 17:50 Arugula Pesto. 17:53 Can you believe it? 17:54 Bev uses the greens of 17:56 carrots, not the carrots 17:57 themselves. 17:59 So take a look at this. 18:02 >> Hi, everyone, I'm Bev 18:05 and today we're experiencing 18:06 life in the kitchen. 18:08 Do you love pesto? 18:10 When we think about making 18:11 pesto we usually use 18:13 ingredients like parsley or 18:15 basil or spinach, but let me 18:18 introduce you to some 18:20 different flavours today. 18:22 We're gonna me making a 18:23 pesto using carrot greens 18:28 and arugula, some gorgeous, 18:33 tasty, tasty greens. 18:36 But carrot greens are really 18:37 special because did you know 18:40 that they've got six times the 18:42 vitamin C of the carrots 18:44 themselves? 18:46 When we sell our carrots at 18:47 the market, we sell them with 18:49 the tops on and we always 18:51 encourage our customers to eat 18:53 'em up because they are so 18:55 fantastically good for us. 18:57 We're also gonna be using this 18:59 gorgeous arugula and that is 19:02 just chock full of vitamin A, 19:03 vitamin C, vitamin K... 19:06 So lots of vitamins happening 19:08 between these two greens. 19:10 We're also gonna be using some 19:12 pumpkin seeds, we're gonna be 19:14 using garlic, everybody's 19:17 favourite, well my favourite 19:19 anyway, we're gonna be using 19:20 some olive oil, hemp seeds, 19:24 fantastic protein, good fats 19:27 in your hemp seeds, and some 19:29 nutritional yeast and then 19:30 some seasonings. 19:32 So let's get to making 19:33 our pesto. 19:34 We're using our food processor 19:37 and we're going to put in-- 19:39 let's put in first our seeds. 19:43 We're gonna put in our 19:45 excellent garlic, 19:48 then we're gonna put in our 19:50 carrot tops and then we're 19:53 gonna add in our arugula. 19:56 OK, so we're putting all of 19:58 this in there... 20:00 gorgeous, gorgeous... 20:02 OK, now we're gonna put in our 20:03 hemp seeds, just gonna 20:05 sprinkle that around so it's 20:07 evenly distributed, 20:09 our "nooch" or nutritional 20:11 yeast, lots of good nutrition 20:15 happening in there as well. 20:17 We're adding in some basil 20:21 and that's about a teaspoon of 20:23 basil, about a teaspoon of the 20:28 Himalayan salt, 20:30 teaspoon of onion powder. 20:33 That's gonna help to deepen 20:34 and intensify all of these 20:36 wonderful flavours. 20:37 So you can see we've got a lot 20:38 of flavour going on 20:41 with this pesto. 20:43 So let's just put on 20:44 our lid...OK. 20:46 [processor whirring] 20:52 Now we don't want it-- 20:53 well, you might want it nice 20:55 and smooth, I always like mine 20:57 to be a little bit chunky. 20:58 I like to have some 20:59 texture to it. 21:00 So I'm stopping right now and 21:02 I'm actually going to add in 21:04 the olive oil. 21:06 We've got a third of a cup of 21:07 olive oil...I'm gonna add that 21:10 in a little bit there and then 21:13 I'm gonna start up... 21:14 [processor whirring] 21:23 OK, let's see... 21:28 what it tastes like. 21:29 I'm just gonna scrape down 21:30 the sides there. 21:31 It's looking beautiful, such a 21:34 vibrant green and we've got 21:35 those hemp seeds scattered 21:37 throughout... 21:40 And yep, it is perfect. 21:44 Some of the ways I love to eat 21:46 it is on pita bread, on pizza 21:48 as a base... 21:50 Today what I'm gonna do 21:54 is put this out in front 21:56 and I'm gonna put it on some 21:57 rice crackers. 22:01 And you can use that as a 22:02 really lovely hors d'oeuvre 22:04 and just put a nice little 22:06 cherry tomato on top, maybe 22:08 half a cherry tomato 22:10 just to pretty it up. 22:11 But look at that. 22:13 And we'll just put those on 22:15 our pretty little platter, 22:17 a nice dollop of it. 22:19 This is just fantastic. 22:22 Another great way 22:24 to eat our greens. 22:26 I hope you've enjoyed 22:27 this presentation. 22:29 Enjoy it in good health. 22:33 >> I am definitely going to 22:35 try that recipe out. 22:36 That looks amazing and I love 22:37 that she used the whole food, 22:39 right, like I'm sure she used 22:41 the carrot for something else, 22:42 but I love that she used the 22:43 carrot greens! 22:44 So yummy! 22:45 [Mike] I know, I know. 22:46 >> So Carolyn, apart from the 22:49 healing and everything you're 22:50 doing in the community with 22:52 your clients and the ministry 22:54 that you're doing and how God 22:56 is just working through you, 22:58 can you tell us, are you 22:59 involved in any 23:00 community projects? 23:02 >> Yes, so one thing, of 23:04 course, that we love is that 23:06 we're there in Scarborough and 23:07 there's a great need in 23:08 Scarborough and in many 23:10 different levels, but there's 23:12 a youth shelter, Eva's Youth 23:13 Shelter, and we have had the 23:16 privilege of being able to do 23:18 free counselling with the youth 23:20 that go there, cooking classes 23:22 with them, we've even been 23:24 able to bring in some youth 23:26 and bring them some songs of 23:27 cheer, but I do one-on-one 23:29 counselling with them as well 23:30 with the kids that need it so 23:31 that's been great. 23:33 We even hold a yearly gala 23:35 where all of the proceeds go 23:37 to Eva's Youth Satellite 23:38 Shelter so that's 23:39 been awesome. 23:40 We also support other 23:41 organizations like ADRA which 23:43 does amazing relief help all 23:45 around the world, changing 23:47 people's lives which actually 23:49 help to take young girls out 23:50 of sex trafficking so we 23:51 support that and, of course, 23:53 It Is Written here we've been 23:55 supporting for years. 23:56 But also, on even more local 23:58 level, we have a food drive. 24:01 So people bring in their food, 24:03 we're able to bring it to the 24:04 food bank and there are some 24:06 people in our community that, 24:08 whether they're homeless, 24:09 they're just down and out, 24:10 they need the healing, we 24:11 offer them meals, juices every 24:13 week because, you know, we 24:15 know they need it, they can't 24:16 afford it, this is not gonna 24:17 be something you do forever 24:18 and then we're able to pass it 24:19 on to other people. 24:21 So it's just been such a 24:22 privilege, every day at the 24:24 Energy Shack, I tell you, 24:26 I live by Romans 8:28 that... 24:33 And the reason why I love that 24:35 verse, although it doesn't 24:36 sound like much of a healing 24:38 verse, is because I really 24:39 want people to understand that 24:40 no matter what they're going 24:42 through, if they can give 24:44 their life to God and learn to 24:46 love Him and see His love, He 24:49 can take their bad situation, 24:51 even their cancer, their 24:53 health, whatever, and He will 24:54 use it for good, you know? 24:57 And that's the business that 24:58 God is in, He's in the healing 25:00 business no matter where 25:02 you're at in your life, if you 25:04 could just trust God, let Him 25:05 use your life as a testimony. 25:08 And now that you've heard this 25:09 information, if you make some 25:10 changes, boy, the Lord has a 25:13 testimony just waiting 25:14 for you. 25:16 >> Wow, that's so encouraging. 25:18 God is really working through 25:19 you in a very powerful way. 25:21 So, Carolyn, can I ask you to 25:23 pray for us, please? 25:25 [Carolyn] I would love that 25:25 privilege, let's pray. 25:27 Eternal King, King of Kings 25:29 and Lord of Lords, it is just

bodies to 25:52 be healed and restored. 25:54 You said that none of these 25:55 diseases that come upon the 25:57 Egyptians would be upon Your 25:58 people so You desire us to 26:01 have a disease-free body and 26:03 so I pray, Father, that each 26:04 one of us, no matter where 26:06 we're at, we would take this 26:07 charge, take this call, be 26:09 inspired, and truly allow our 26:12 body, Your temple to be a 26:14 holier place, in the things we 26:16 eat, in the things we think, 26:18 in the things we do so that 26:19 Your name, Father, 26:21 is glorified. 26:22 In Jesus' name we
