Vision Driven Health - Weight Loss for Christian Women, Biblical Health, Conquer Cravings, Kingdom Mindset, Increase Energy Naturally

Hey Friend, This week is an extremely important week as it is Holy Week. Yesterday was Palm Sunday and each day this week leads up to Good Friday, Holy Saturday, and eventually, Resurrection Day - or Easter as many of us know it to be.   What happened 2,000+ years ago in Jerusalem on a cross and 3 days later in a grave makes all the difference in what's available to you and your health. Whether yo...

Hey Friend, Today's episode is a PRIME example of how we can pair our healthy physical habits with spiritual ones.   My hope and intention for you today is that by the end of this episode you can't wait for the next moment to get outside and go for a walk with Jesus.   We are getting into the nitty gritty detailed benefits of walking - like seriously, you have no idea how good walking is for you,...

Hey Friend,   For a few episodes now, I've been referring back to episode 13 where I talk about Leviticus 11 and the old testament food laws. Well, here it is again with a few minor adjustments.   There's just something about taking a misunderstood, seemingly boring passage and revealing the insight and wisdom it holds. I think you'll be surprised how much you learn about food labels from Old test...

Hey Friend, We’ve all been there. You suddenly have an urge to eat a specific food you are specifically trying to avoid because you know once you’ve had one bite, you’ll have 10 more. And despite your efforts to think and talking yourself out of it, before you know it, you’ve already consumed more than you’d want and you feel miserable physically and you’re already beating yourself up.   Sometimes...

Hey Friend, I haven't talked about today's topic in a little bit. It's actually a huge drive for why I do this.   I believe wholeheartedly that God cares deeply about our health and that it's not a secondary aspect of our walk with the Lord.   When we aren't intentionally caring for our physical well being - along with spiritual, emotional, and mental - we are metaphorically cutting off our right...

Hey Friend! My husband and I had the honor of getting to speak at our church and today's episode is a repurpose of the talk we gave on managing your mind.   Romans 12:2 says to be transformed by the RENEWING of your mind.   Any health journey is not one that will last if we do not learn how to take control of our thought life.   Here are some practical ways to take hold of your thought life for a...

Hey Friend! If you're someone who struggles with pain in your body, low energy, difficulty sleeping, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or diabetes - it all stems from inflammation   Which might sound reductionistic, but the truth is, none of ailments come to exist in your body without inflammation kicking things off.   Today I'm giving a bit more detail about what inflammation is and how it s...

Hey Friend! If you didn't grow up in a home with home cooked meals, of if you're like me, they were technically home cooked but they weren't necessarily of the healthy variety.   Or perhaps you feel with all that you've got going on there's just NO WAY you could consistently cook your meals.   Or maybe you're just someone who doesn't view cooking as their thing.   Well, today my intention is to in...
