The Jordan Rubin Show

In this episode of The Jordan Rubin Show, Jordan and Diego talk about what happened before, during, and after his cancer diagnosis, including the warning signs he initially dismissed as athletic injuries, why physical fitness doesn't always tell the full story about someone's health, and how his faith shaped the way he faced a frightening prognosis.
Diego also shares the changes he made to his diet, stress levels, emotional health, prayer life, and daily routine. More than 16 years after his diagnosis, he's still preaching, serving others, and sharing what the experience taught him about caring for the body, mind, and spirit.
Watch through to the end for the complete Whole-Person Healing Protocol, including the foods Jordan recommends during a serious health challenge, targeted supplements, midday sunshine, sauna and lymphatic massage, forgiveness, healing prayer, and the importance of working with a physician who will monitor your health and partner with you.

Chrissy Evans believed losing weight would finally fix what was "wrong" with her.
At more than 270 pounds, she was struggling with fibromyalgia, chronic back pain, depression, binge eating, and subclinical hypothyroidism. After years of struggling with her weight, she even borrowed money for weight-loss surgery, only to find ways to eat around the procedure and eventually stall her progress.
Chrissy ultimately did lose 150 pounds. But reaching her goal weight revealed something she never expected: changing her body hadn't healed the pain underneath her relationship with food.

In this episode of The Jordan Rubin Show, Jordan and Chrissy explore the physical, emotional, and spiritual sides of lasting weight loss. Chrissy shares how developing a genuine relationship with Christ transformed her identity, how she stopped tying her worth to her appearance, and how she learned to care for her body from a place of stewardship rather than shame. They also discuss the nutrition strategies that helped Chrissy maintain her 150-pound weight loss for more than eight years.

About Chrissy Evans:
Chrissy Evans is a biblical weight-loss coach, CEO, and founder of Weight Loss Hero who has coached more than 11,000 women in 76 countries.
At her heaviest, Chrissy weighed more than 270 pounds while struggling with fibromyalgia, chronic back pain, clinical depression, and an undiagnosed binge eating disorder. Desperate to lose weight, she borrowed money for weight-loss surgery, but eventually found ways to eat around the procedure and stalled her progress.
Chrissy ultimately lost 150 pounds and reached 140 pounds, but discovered that physical transformation didn't automatically bring emotional or spiritual healing. After losing the weight, struggles with drinking, vaping, and unhealthy relationships revealed that the deeper issues beneath her relationship with food were still there.
Her relationship with Christ became the turning point that changed the way she viewed her identity, health, and body. Today, Chrissy has maintained her 150-pound weight loss for more than eight years and uses her experience to help other women pursue sustainable change through a five-pillar coaching system combining biblical principles with practical nutrition and macro strategies.
Chrissy has been coaching women since 2017 and has built a community of more than 256,000 followers on Instagram. She is married to NFL veteran and Super Bowl participant Heath Evans, with whom she co-founded ViCera Nutrition, and together they have six children, four of whom were adopted.

Addiction doesn’t always disappear when you remove the substance. Sometimes, it finds somewhere else to go.
Grammy-nominated producer, songwriter, and We The Kingdom founding member Ed Cash knows this firsthand. After years of drug and alcohol addiction, multiple treatment centers, and time in jail, Ed got sober at just 19 years old. But as his life began to change, he eventually found himself struggling with another form of addiction: food.
At one point, Ed was roughly 90 pounds overweight. His physical health began to change when he discovered Jordan Rubin’s The Maker’s Diet and followed its 40-day, three-phase approach, eventually losing the excess weight and maintaining that transformation for decades.
In this episode of The Jordan Rubin Show, Jordan and Ed explore the deeper story behind his recovery—from addiction, anxiety, and food to identity, forgiveness, faith, and learning to stop living for the approval of others. Ed also shares the remarkable story of surrendering music after getting sober, and how God eventually restored the very calling he thought he had lost.Watch through to the end for the complete Addiction & Metabolic Health Support Protocol, including principles from The Maker’s Diet for addressing insulin, infection, and inflammation, supporting the gut, improving metabolic health, and doing the inner work that can help break addictive patterns.

About Ed Cash:
Ed Cash is a Grammy-nominated producer, songwriter, and founding member of the two-time Grammy-nominated band We The Kingdom, known for producing Chris Tomlin's "How Great Is Our God" and helping We The Kingdom reach over a billion cumulative streams.His success followed a hard road: severe teenage addiction, five treatment centers, and jail time before getting sober at 19 in 1991. He then walked away from music for two years, believing it had fed his destructive path. Sobriety opened a longer healing journey — battling anxiety, trading substances for food addiction, recognizing work addiction, losing roughly 90 pounds, and rebuilding his relationship with music, identity, and faith.In 2024, Ed marked 33 years of sobriety by returning to Minneapolis, where he first got sober, to record We The Kingdom's live EP 33 on the exact anniversary. His story shows recovery as more than giving something up — it's a rebuilding of health, identity, faith, and calling.

Jordan Rubin was once told he had a 100% chance of dying within 90 days.Nearly 20 years after overcoming that terminal cancer diagnosis, he shares the one practice he says became a cornerstone of his healing journey — prayer.

In this deeply personal episode, Jordan opens up about the fear, doubt, and faith that come with a cancer diagnosis, why he believes the words we speak matter, and the healing prayer he prayed out loud three times a day during one of the darkest seasons of his life.

If you or someone you love is battling cancer, Jordan invites you to pray along with him and stand on the promises of God.
