A Healthy Point of View Podcast w/ Sam Tejada

From American Idol stage lights to global tours, singer Nutsa “Za Za” Buza gets real about the habits that keep her mind, body, and voice performance-ready. In this episode of A Healthy Point of View, Sam Tejada digs into Za Za’s Georgian roots, warrior resilience, and the viral firefighter-themed song born from her mission to fight hate with love.We talk emotional stamina, handling public pressure without the victim mindset, and the five non-negotiables Za Za leans on daily—prayer, meditation, breathwork, movement, and journaling. She opens up about rebounding from COVID + bronchitis, why IV therapy helped, and how she rebuilt her routine without extreme dieting. Plus: the beauty industry’s hidden toxins, hormone health, switching to glass over plastic, and her drive to create cleaner self-care products.If you’re chasing big stages (or big goals), this is your blueprint: accept reality, write it down, build small daily wins, and protect your energy like a pro.Nutsa BuzaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/nutsabuza?igsh=cmQ1dTZ3NzRxZjViWebsite: https://nutsaofficial.com/Sam Tejada:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sammy_tejada/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/samtejadaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/samael.tejadaThreads: https://www.threads.net/@sammy_tejadaTwitter: https://twitter.com/SamaelTejadaTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@sammy_tejadaWebsite: https://samtejada.comPodpage: https://podcast.samtejada.comBook: https://www.amazon.com/HOW-WIN-MODERN-WELLNESS-DELIVERING/dp/B0DDCC27RH

Health isn’t just macros and miles—it’s spiritual stewardship. In this episode of A Healthy Point of View, Sam Tejada sits down with John Robert Hill (aka Holy Gabbana) and co-host Cledis Duran aka Jersey to unpack how Scripture frames fitness, food, mental health, and discipline—and why taking care of your body is worship, not vanity.Holy shares his powerful testimony—from viral fame and addiction to a life surrendered to Jesus—and how that surrender reshaped his health habits, relationships, and priorities. Together we dig into verses that connect spiritual obedience with physical well-being:1 Corinthians 6:19–20 — Your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit; honor God with it.Genesis 1:29 — God’s original menu: whole, seed-bearing plants and real food.Ezekiel 4:9 — The blueprint behind today’s “Ezekiel bread” (sprouted, nutrient-dense).Matthew 4:4 — We live by every word of God—spiritual nutrition > calories alone.Proverbs 17:22 — A cheerful heart is medicine; chronic stress dries the bones.Romans 8:28 — Trusting God reduces anxiety and supports resilient health.What you’ll learnWhy discipline, fasting, and community are biblical tools for mental and physical healthHow to spot New Age counterfeits that exalt “self” over the SaviorPractical ways to treat your routines—sleep, food, movement, detox—as acts of worshipHow to replace clout-chasing with calling-driven purpose that heals from the inside outHoly GabbanaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/holygabbanaWebsite: https://www.holygabbana.com/X: https://www.twitter.com/holygabbanaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/holygabbanaYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@holygabbanaTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@holygabbanaCledis Duran aka Jerseyhttps://www.instagram.com/cledisduranSam Tejada:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sammy_tejada/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/samtejadaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/samael.tejadaThreads: https://www.threads.net/@sammy_tejadaTwitter: https://twitter.com/SamaelTejadaTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@sammy_tejadaWebsite: https://samtejada.comPodpage: https://podcast.samtejada.comBook: https://www.amazon.com/HOW-WIN-MODERN-WELLNESS-DELIVERING/dp/B0DDCC27RH
