,

About this Episode

Elaina Wang, a health coach and former addict, shares her radical journey of transformation. Once trapped in childhood obesity and a 15-year methamphetamine addiction, Elaina has emerged as a living testament to resilience, intentionality, and self-governance. Her story is one of reclaiming bodily autonomy—a core principle for those who reject the systems that seek to control our lives, whether through addiction, consumerism, or coercion.

We dive deep into the realities of addiction and recovery, particularly the devastating effects of meth and fentanyl-laced substances. Elaina speaks candidly about the spiritual and psychological battle of addiction, the way it severs personal freedom, and the importance of rebuilding trust with oneself and others.

But true liberation isn’t just about breaking free from addiction—it’s about restoring the body as a temple and aligning daily choices with God’s design for health and wholeness. Elaina shares how real food, self-discipline, and holistic health practices played a pivotal role in her healing. She advocates for a low-carb, ketogenic diet, exposing the lies of corporate food industries and emphasizing the power of self-sufficiency in nutrition.

Key Takeaways:

  1. Addiction and Sovereignty – Addiction is a form of enslavement. Elaina’s journey highlights the power of reclaiming control over the body and mind.

  2. ‘Temple’ Restoration – Health is a spiritual act. What we consume—physically, mentally, and spiritually—either strengthens or weakens us.

  3. Building Habits for Freedom – Discipline creates freedom. Elaina shares how habit stacking leads to lasting change, making it easier to sustain a life of health, purpose, and independence.

Elaina also opens up about managing her Keto Wang Facebook page, navigating censorship, online backlash, and digital boundaries in a world that often suppresses dissenting voices.

At its core, Elaina’s story is a call to radical ownership—of health, of choices, and of life itself. If you believe that true freedom starts with taking responsibility for yourself, this episode is for you.
