The God Wants You Well Show

Today we are chatting about a diet that I actually really love and will absolutely recommend and endorse! What a weird thing to say, coming from an advocate for Intuitive Eating, right?! The Holy Spirit Diet is the diet I can totally get behind and promote though. Listen to the show today to hear why I think the Holy Spirit makes a GREAT nutritionist and listen as I share a personal story of somet...

This week I have something a bit different for you: a replay of a conversation I had as a guest on someone else's podcast a year ago.  Alisha and I talk all about a non-diet approach to exercise in this episode from her podcast, The Strong(HER) Way Podcast (linked below). We talk about Diet Culture's unhealthy messages when it comes to exercise, and how you can recover from or prevent an unhe...

As promised earlier on in this podcast, today I'm sharing my journey to freedom with food, a healed body image and healthy relationship with fitness. As you listen, be encouraged that what God did for me in this area, He would love to do for you, too!  I share: - My first body awareness moment (it was back in grade 3) - The impact of forgiving mean boys who had commented on my body - Why one...

I used to use workout calendars in a SUPER ridged and UNFUN way. Thank THE LORD that He showed me there was a better way! A more joyful and intuitive way!  I was a slave. I was bound. I was not free. But God. He came in when I invited Him into this area of my life and changed my mindset about exercise. He can free you, too.  Check out today's episode to learn how I used to use workout sc...

Some boys recently called me a not so nice name. Today I share all the details of what hurtful name they called me and more importantly, how I handled the situation.  Has someone called your body or appearance something mean, too? Take a listen to today's episode to hear me share the #1 thing you MUST do ASAP after a negative body comment has been made. Trust me, so much freedom and healing w...

Episode 9 was my most popular episode (it was called "Is Sugar the Root of All Evil?") and so I'm coming back today with a short episode about how sugar has blessed my life. I share: - A story where eating processed sugar made me stop feeling sick - A story where sugar allowed me to bond with others - What the "Last Supper Mentality" is and why restriction of sugar leads to this behavior around fo...

Today I'm discussing if improving your body image is even something of importance, in light of us being in the last of the last days. I chat about on this episode: 1. Why Satan would love for you to stay stuck with body image insecurities 2. Why I'm team pre-tribulation when it comes to the timeline of the Rapture 3. My step by step guide for leading someone to the Lord (the key things to inculde)...

We talk about:  - How the concept of being the managers and not the owners of our bodies will powerfully change your fitness mindsets - How we can relate some Bible parables to how we think and treat our bodies when it comes to fuel and fitness choices - The differences...

Today we are diving into what I call The Lie of More.  More xyz = more happiness. I think we all have fallen for The Lie of More at some point. Tune in to today's episode to hear me share about times I fell for the lie that "If I only got xyz, I'd finally have my dream life." Let me share with you what I finally found to be satisfying and joy giving. I'll also be talking about how weight loss...

Surprise: I am NOT anti Beachbody. Gasp! Alert the media! Yup, it's true. I don't turn my back on it. Well, not ALL the parts. Do I love Beachbody? No. Do I hate it? Also no. Do I like some parts? YES! Do I NOT like some parts? Yup! (Ahem, the food parts) Would I recommend it to everyone? No way. Am I an Intuitive Eating Coach that uses Beachbody workouts for joyful movement? Mmm hmm! Will this la...

So I went for a run .... and nothing went as planned. NOTHING! I'm fine. It's fine. Everything is fine. Truly! Why? Because I had set a helpful exercise intention for my run before I even set out.  Tune into today's episode to learn: 1. What an exercise intention is, why it's important in making movement joyful and also hear how my crazy run turned into a wonderful run, due to the intention I...

Hey guys! Today I'm chatting about five things I wish everyone who ever stepped foot in a gym or pressed play on a workout video would know. If everyone knew and believed these five things, the world would be a much happier and holistically healthy place! Guarantee!  Past episode mentioned "Diet Culture Infiltrates the Church: Listen here ! The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry book mentioned: Bu...

Something is in the air and it isn't just spring! What else is in full bloom, you ask? Part 3 of the "how to use IG intuitively" series on my podcast, of course! 🎙️ Guys, I've never done a Part 2 on either of my podcasts. But I felt led to do a Part 3 so here we are! Today on the "Intuitive Eating with Jesus Podcast" I'm diving into how Discovering the Satisfaction Factor (principle six of Intuiti...

First eva ... a PART TWO on this podcast! When you realize you still have more to say on a topic ....  you know it's time to create a part 2! Today I'm sharing more thoughts on how to use IG intuitively. This shorter episode outlines how I've been relating my intuitive meal planning to my IG use this week. I can't wait for you to dig into this one! It's UBER practical! Connect with Nyla: Webs...

Today we have a fun topic: how to use skills learned in Intuitive Eating in your relationship with social media, specifically, IG! Do you like how you currently use IG?  Or do you wish you could use it in a way that felt better?  If so, this episode is for you! Get ready to hear how I have been playing around with using IG in the same way I learned to feel CALM around cookies, using Intu...

How I first got into running 2. My Then VS Now transformation story with running (I used to be pretty ridged and the opposite of joyful with it!) 3. Why I took a 8 year break from running after I ran a marathon&n...

IS sugar really the root of all evil, as Diet Culture makes it out to be? Is sugar, at its core, pure evilness? Short answer: nope. Just like I help my clients reframe their negative mindsets towards fat and carbs, I also help them reframe sugar to see the GOOD in it. The benefits. Things we talk about in today’s episode: 1. What the Bible has to say about sugar 2. How Jesus and other Bible charac...

Diet Culture SUCKS and unfortunately, ideas from it are sometimes promoted from behind the pulpit.  What harmful message is being preached to congregational members, when a pastor pokes fun at their body weight? They are reinforcing Diet Culture mindsets that say there are wrong ways to have bodies, bad bodies, and that some body types and sizes are worthy of being made fun of because they ar...

A bit confused what Intuitive Eating is? It can be buzzword sometimes on social media, thrown out tons but not fully explained. God used Intuitive Eating to greatly heal my two decade long fight with food and it’s now the lens I coach my 1:1 Christian Intuitive Eating Clients with, when helping them find peace and calm and finally ditch stressful food rules for good! In today’s bonus episode, I su...

“You’ll never arrive at a destination you don’t think is possible,” is a saying I love SO MUCH from evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth. Has anyone ever told you living with an eating disorder, bad body image or any type of disordered eating is something you will always struggle with? Yeah, me too. And you know fat? It’s a big fat lie from hell! Today we chat about: What the Bible says about full fo...

Today I share how to read the Bible with a pair of "Intuitive Eating Glasses" on. The Lord's Word is so powerful! He can chat to you about ANY topic, using ANY verse. This includes encouraging you and sharing wisdom to you through His Word about the topic of food and helping you renew your mind with His truth, so you no longer think and act around food as Diet Culture does.  Today I share a b...

Our words are mighty weapons to produce Food Freedom. Did you know that?! God has left us instructions in the Bible of how to use our tongues, but He also left us with a warning. Proverbs 18:21 tells us we can use our tongues for good OR bad. So you can use your words to better your life or worsen your own live and relationship pwith food, by what you decide to speak over yourself. What we dive in...

Let’s stop hating on carbs! Carbs are not out to get you but rather BLESS your body! Jesus is our ultimate role model. Modelling life after how He lived (and ate) will always steer you RIGHT! Copying the customs of Diet Culture will steer your wrong though. Romans 12:2 commands us to NOT copy the patterns of this world. Diet Culture is of this world, not in alignment with freedom talked about in t...

Body Idolatry: Let's talk about it. As uncomfortable of a topic as it may be, it’s needed to chat about. If we don’t shed light on it, don’t have these hard conversations, then awareness of the issues isn’t made ... and then change isn’t made. And worst of all, that free and fully abundant life Christ purchased on the cross for you isn’t experienced. Today we chat about: - What is an idol? - How t...
