Contributing guest authors, Jarrod and Anita Roussel, help Christian leaders and entrepreneurs get their bodies working for them instead of against them, so they can show up strong, think clearly, and fully live the calling God’s placed on their hearts. As the husband-and-wife healthcare team behind the top 1% globally ranked Power On Plants Podcast, they draw on nearly five decades of combined experience to make whole-food, plant-based living practical, enjoyable, and deeply effective – restoring lasting energy, sharpened focus, and the vibrant health that fuels maximum impact.
Anita, a Registered Nurse (BSN) and Certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, grew up in her family’s restaurant in northwest Georgia, where she learned to serve others with excellence and create the flavors people love. Jarrod is a Physician Assistant and Certified Lifestyle Medicine Professional with a background in Cellular and Molecular Biology. He distills complex science into everyday strategies that help you thrive.
But their passion for helping others optimize their health didn’t begin in textbooks; it began in crisis.
Despite their medical training, both found themselves in a system that managed symptoms rather than addressing the root cause. When she hit 40, Anita found herself battling daily fatigue, pain, autoimmune symptoms, weight gain, and a growing list of diagnoses. Jarrod also faced vascular challenges, daily exhaustion, and pain. Their bodies – the very tools they relied on to serve, lead, and live fully – simply couldn’t keep up.
Determined to uncover the root cause, Jarrod and Anita dug deep into the research. What they found was simple but completely life-changing. By bringing reliable evidence, everyday life, and satisfying flavor together, their energy returned, diagnoses faded, and focus returned. For the first time in years, their bodies finally supported their purpose instead of holding it back.
That breakthrough became the foundation of their Signature 5-Step Accelerator Framework, the exact system that turns plant-powered living into a predictable, lasting transformation for purpose-driven professionals. It’s not just another plan to follow, but the proven path that aligns mindset, environment, food, and daily rhythms so your body finally supports your mission instead of slowing it down.
Today, through their podcast, cookbooks, and Accelerator Program, Jarrod and Anita share the practical tools and real-life encouragement that help leaders live well, lead well, and show up strong for the mission and moments that matter most.
