#1042 Riding the Craving Wave: Practical & Spiritual Tools with Alisa Keeton

January 8
30 mins

Episode Description

When Kerry received a diabetes diagnosis and was offered a shot, she felt a quiet check in her spirit—convicted there was another way. She chose whole foods, consistent movement, and faith in God's possibility. Result: 31 pounds lost and A1C lowered naturally—no meds needed.

But like so many of us, Kerry still struggled with evenings—that tired pull toward a "reward" snack when the day finally winds down.

In this episode, Alisa coaches Kerry (and us) on why evening cravings hit hard, what's happening biologically after dinner, and how to meet those moments with kindness, wisdom, and Spirit-led alternatives.

Key Insights

  • Cravings are, at their root, a search for relief
  • How hormones can sometimes make the journey feel harder
  • The reliable path forward: whole foods in healthy portions, consistent movement, and giving the body time to heal and settle at its natural set point

Why Evenings Feel So Tough

  • Decision fatigue + shifting circadian rhythms reduce impulse control
  • Dopamine is actively seeking reward while rising melatonin naturally lowers restraint

Step One Awareness: simply noticing patterns and getting curious in the moment

Scripture Anchors

  • Hebrews 8: Set your mind on things above
  • Galatians 5: The flesh opposes the Spirit
  • Philippians 1:6: He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion
