  • Episode 72: Top 10 Nutrition Myths That Just Won't Go Away
    Jul 30 2024

    I have been a certified nutrition coach for 7 years, and I still cannot get over hearing all the crazy diet myths that have been passed down through the years. Almost every day, I hear someone bring up a myth about health and nutrition that will not die. This is one of the biggest reasons I feel it’s part of my calling to help spread God’s truth about our bodies and how to feed them as He intended. I also feel like it’s my duty to spread the word about the science behind the facts and help debunk some of these insane myths.

    Check out this episode for the top 10 nutrition myths that just will not go away.

    In this episode, we cover:
    • Nutrition myths that won’t go away

    • Science debunking the biggest nutrition myths

    • Helpful nutrition tips that actually work

    MORE ABOUT FEED YOURSELF: HEALTHY HABITS FOR THE MIND, BODY, & SOUL PODCAST:

    Feed Yourself: Healthy Habits for the Mind, Body, & Soul is all about learning the key components of overall health based on Biblical principles. When most people think about getting in shape and becoming “healthy”, they immediately think about their physical health: losing weight, making exercise a priority, possessing flexibility and endurance, and remaining disease free. But Scripture makes it clear that physical wellness is not the only area that impacts health. In order to be TRULY healthy, we have to focus on four areas: spiritual health, emotional health, mental health, and physical health.

    This podcast dives deep into the tools and head knowledge you will need in order to create lasting results, but it also looks at the element that truly ties it all together - the heart knowledge that incorporates faith in God in this area of our lives and how to apply it when things get tough (and they will!).

    I wanted to create a space to let you know you are never alone on this journey. Through years of experience in doing everything the WRONG way, I am here to share my journey of getting healthy from the inside out - ditching the restriction and diet culture and truly learning to treat my body as the temple God intended it to be.

    Grab a cup of coffee and join me as I discuss healthy habits to incorporate in your daily life to propel you forward and FEED YOURSELF on your journey to health in all areas: mind, body, and soul!

  • Vacation Balance: 3 Tips for Staying on Track
    Jul 2 2024

    I used to live between two extremes when it came to vacation: I would either throw caution to the wind and eat all the food in sight, or I would stress about how much weight I was going to gain and restrict myself for days to try to get the number on the scale to go down.

    I have had several clients come to me within the last few weeks asking questions about what to do while traveling to stay on track and maintain their progress, so I thought it would be a good idea to share some of those tips here on the show. Many of you have worked hard and do not want to lose momentum and progress as you travel, but you also want to relax and have fun and spend quality time with your families. The good news is that you can do both!

    Check out this episode for my three tips to staying on track while vacationing.

    In this episode, we cover:
    • 3 tips for staying on track on vacation

    • Maintaining progress while you travel

    • Why having a coach can help you find vacation balance

  • RE-RELEASE: What Does God Say About Healthy Relationships?
    May 21 2024

    Our household has been flooded with sickness the last couple weeks, so I thought it would be fun to re-release one of my favorite episodes with my favorite person: my husband, Jordan! We recorded this epiosde back in 2022, and while so many things have changed, so many of them still remain the same.

    Having a healthy relationship requires commitment. We talk a lot about how important it is to keep God at the center of it all first and foremost. We share about the behind the scenes of our relationship and how we got together including goals, challenges we have faced, parenting, and advice for couples. Above all else, in order to have a healthy relationship we remind you that finding the right one and keeping God in your relationship should be the most important part. If God is not in your relationship, it is not the right relationship. Continue to pursue God in all that you do, including in your relationships.

    This was a fun Q&A with my husband and we hope you enjoy revisiting it! (Be on the lookout for an upcoming episode where we share our latest adventure of becoming a family of four later this year!)

    In this episode, we cover:
    • Healthy relationships

    • Keeping God center in your relationship

    • Advice for couples to have a healthy relationship

  • Transform Your Body and Mind with Strength Training
    May 7 2024

    Check out today’s episode.

    In this episode, we cover:
    • How to “get toned” for summer

    • The benefits of strength training

    • The research behind how strength training can transform not only your body, but your mind as well
