Welcome to The Gilded Branch — the podcast where faith meets wellness.
If you’re a Christian ready to break free from cycles of defeat in your health and step into lasting victory, you’re in the right place. Here, we don’t chase trends—we pursue transformation through Christ. Each episode, we’ll explore biblical truth, practical health strategies, and Spirit-led encouragement to help steward your health for God’s glory.
John 15:5
“I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.”

Again, we are not doctors or nurses so this is just a generic illustration not intended for those with special needs or underlying conditions. Please speak to your doctor before adjusting anything, first!
This tool is intended for use on one's phone or printed out for temporary reference, to help identify nutritional gaps in one's day. Again, as mentioned in the episode, the idea is not to use this forever, but simply to see what is out of balance. Then, once that awareness is built, use the Plate Method above that is filled in and adjust your daily intake accordingly. We are not doctors or nurses so this is just a generic illustration not intended for those with special needs or underlying conditions. Please speak to your doctor before adjusting anything, first!
