Send us a text Today, I sit down with Dr. Laurette, a cognitive behavioral therapist, author, and founder of PraiseMoves® —a Christian alternative to yoga that fuses fitness, scripture, and faith for full-body renewal. Dr. Laurette’s story is one of radical transformation, moving from decades of New Age deception to discovering the truth and freedom found only in Jesus Christ. In this episode, Dr. Laurette shares how she once searched for God across twenty countries, immersing herself in psychic practices, channeling, astrology, and yoga—only to find herself more broken and empty than ever. After years of chasing enlightenment through self-help and metaphysics, she had a divine encounter with God on April Fool’s Day, when she cried out in surrender and gave her life to Christ. That single moment changed everything. We discuss the hidden dangers of New Age practices like yoga, manifestation, and “energy healing,” and how they often disguise themselves as light while pulling people away from God’s truth. Dr. Laurette breaks down how yoga’s roots in Hinduism and its spiritual symbolism directly contradict the Word of God. She also explains how her fitness ministry PraiseMoves® redeems movement through biblical meditation—using scripture-based stretching to glorify God instead of idols. Dr. Laurette also introduces her groundbreaking program Weightloss Without Willpower , which combines neuroscience and scripture to help people overcome emotional eating and addiction through spiritual renewal. She reveals how aligning the mind and spirit with God’s Word leads to real transformation from the inside out. We close by discussing her favorite verse, Mark 11:24: “Whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.” Dr. Laurette reminds us that faith is not about striving—it’s about receiving. This episode is a bold and inspiring message about deliverance, discernment, and the supernatural peace that comes from surrendering everything to Christ. https://drlaurette.net/ Website: https://coupleonukes.com Exodus, Honor Your Heart, & Nulu Knives: https://www.coupleonukes.com/affiliates/ Want to be a guest on Couple O' Nukes?
