Feed Yourself

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!

Episode 77: 3 Reasons Why You Should Eat More to Lose Weight 11/05/2024

Episode 77: 3 Reasons Why You Should Eat More to Lose Weight When women come to me to work together on their nutrition, I always end up hearing so many sad stories. These women are living lives where they’ve been skipping meals for years in order to lose weight. When they do eventually end up eating, they are terrified of carbs or eating over the 1,200 calories we've all been conditioned to think is a "magic" number. The nutrition world has come so far, and yet, the bad advice given years ago just won’t seem to go away. When your goal is weight loss, you do need to be mindful of the calories you consume. However, when you aren’t eating enough, your weight loss efforts can be hindered as well. Let’s talk about 3 reasons why you should actually be eating MORE in order to lose weight. In this episode, we cover: Eating more (not less) to lose weight How the restriction of calories can lead to self-sabotage How the right type (not just the amount) of food matters Why adequate calorie consumption is essential for optimal health in all areas LINKS AND RESOURCES MENTIONED IN TODAY’S EPISODE: Join the Feed Yourself Food Club (monthly recipe membership) !

Vacation Balance: 3 Tips for Staying on Track 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.

RE-RELEASE: What Does God Say About Healthy Relationships? 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 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! /episode/index/show/4593879d-67cb-44e7-b2b6-e93c0eab643d/id/30720113

Easter Nutrition Unwrapped: Insider Tips from a Nutrition Coach 03/26/2024

Easter Nutrition Unwrapped: Insider Tips from a Nutrition Coach Like most families who celebrate, our family has certain traditions that we do each year on Easter. As with most traditional holidays, a lot of these traditions are centered around food and family. Today’s podcast episode was inspired by a question I received from one of my current clients inside my 6 week private nutrition program. I am so glad she asked this question because I feel like anyone who has gone on a “diet” has had similar thoughts. On one hand, you do not want to flush your progress down the drain, and on the other hand you do not want to become obsessive and miss out on moments that matter most with your family. Here are my 3 insider tips for handling the Easter holiday (or any holiday!) while keeping your nutrition in check. Check out today’s episode.

Ditching the All or Nothing Mentality 03/12/2024

Ditching the All or Nothing Mentality I have realized that most of the time when someone throws themselves into something with an all or nothing mindset, it is truly because they want to do it right. They want a set of guidelines or rules to follow, and then they want to stick to it. When they don’t, they assume they failed and they go back to the old habits that bring them comfort because no one likes to feel like a failure. Life doesn’t stop happening just because you decide to go on a diet, and if you aren’t careful, this is where a bad relationship with food can become worse. However, that doesn’t have to be the case. There is a better way.

The Importance of Rest 01/30/2024

The Importance of Rest Most of us are chronically tired and overly stressed. So many of us are caught up in the everyday grind that has become the norm of life, and rest for ourselves simply gets put on the back burner. Rest is more than just restoration for your tired body. It's a restoration for your tired soul as well. When we continually try to carry our heavy load in our own strength, we get burdened down. The Lord desires for us to feel light, and to bring our burdens and the things that keep us up at night to Him, and He will give us the rest we need. Instead of stress, we can let go and rest.

Are You Making Food an Idol? 01/16/2024

Are You Making Food an Idol? Food can be an idol just like anything else in our lives. It can consume our thoughts, our attitudes, and our actions. It can be something we constantly think about, dwell on, or even covet. Our contentment and satisfaction should be found in Christ alone, and when that begins to fade, food can creep in and take its place. When we put the food we eat or the number on the scale before God, we are truly missing out on what He has in store for our lives because we aren’t seeking His face. Instead, we are seeking to hide or heal with food. Check out today’s episode. Thank you for tuning in!

New Year, Same Me 01/02/2024

New Year, Same Me It’s a brand new year, and with that comes LOTS of resolutions for most people. While these are usually fantastic things to strive to accomplish, almost no one finishes the year having completed the things they set out to do at the beginning of the year. Why do you think this is? Deep in my heart, I truly think that the reason is because we set out to completely change ourselves instead of learning to embrace our God-given bodies and seeking out ways to take care of them. Every year in January, I hear well meaning people proclaim the mantra “new year, new me.” I would love for you to ask yourself the question, "Why would you want to be someone you’re not?" God created you just the way you are. You have quirks, you have tendencies, and you have a unique personality unlike anyone else. You can absolutely work on yourself while also loving yourself through the process. In this episode, I invite you to start the new year looking to embrace who you are and letting the Lord refine you into just how you were created to be. Check out today’s episode. Thank you for tuning in! I’d love to chat more about this and any other nutrition questions you have over on Instagram ()!

It is not God’s desire for you to condemn yourself, constantly criticize yourself, and speak negatively toward yourself.

Eating Well on a Budget 11/28/2023

Eating Well on a Budget One of the biggest issues I have with the food industry is how much more money it costs to buy nutritious foods to fuel your family than serving up overly processed foods each and every night. I totally understand when a mom tells me “it’s just too expensive to eat healthy.” I have lots to say about this, however none of it is helpful in actually solving the problem that families are having a hard time being able to afford nutritious food to fuel their bodies right now. So with that, I wanted to offer up a few strategies to help you eat well while staying on a budget. Check out today’s episode. Thank you for tuning in!

RE-RELEASE: Why Fat Doesn't Make You Fat 11/07/2023

RE-RELEASE: Why Fat Doesn't Make You Fat “Eating fat makes you fat.” That has been the school of thinking for most Americans for more than two decades now. It’s a theory and myth that has kept our nation’s people sick and overweight. Fat isn’t bad on its own and there is no reason to fear it any longer.
