Hi, I’m Laura Hargrave (formerly Rimmer). A Christian, Master Certified Nutritionist & Best-Selling Author. For over 25 years I’ve studied the science of weight loss and natural healing, and coached thousands of people to better health.  I went from overweight smoker at university, to wearing myself out as a vegan ultra-marathon runner in my 30s, to finally listening to God’s wisdom for health and becoming truly vibrant and lean in my late 40s with low carb and keto, and a ‘less is more’ Biblical approach. Friend, I made it through all the mistakes and deceptions out there and have finally found peaceful, joyful, easeful health - in body, mind and spirit and that’s what I’ll share with you in this podcast.  So take a few moments now to grow in your knowledge & wisdom, to benefit you for years to come.

    46 | Menopause Weight Gain - 7 Reasons Eating Less Isn't Working Anymore

    Have you reached the point where you're eating less than ever, yet your weight still won't budge? Do you feel frustrated watching other women seem to lose weight more easily while your own body appears to be fighting you every step of the way? And what if menopause weight gain isn't really about eating too much at all? In this episode, I'm sharing why eating less often stops working during menopause and the seven hidden factors that may be keeping your body stuck. We'll explore the surprising role of muscle loss, blood sugar problems, chronic stress, nutrient deficiencies and metabolic health, and why simply cutting calories may be making things harder rather than easier. You'll discover why your body isn't broken, why menopause may be revealing deeper issues rather than causing them, and what you can do to work with your body instead of constantly fighting against it. If you've been feeling discouraged by stubborn belly fat, low energy, cravings or menopause weight gain despite doing "all the right things," this episode will help you understand what may really be happening beneath the surface. In this episode: • Why eating less can sometimes slow progress rather than accelerate it • The surprising link between muscle loss and menopause weight gain • How blood sugar problems can drive cravings, fatigue and belly fat • Why chronic stress may be keeping your body in fat-storage mode • The nutrient deficiencies many women don't realise they have • Why menopause often reveals existing metabolic weaknesses • The mistake many women make when measuring progress • A more effective way to support your metabolism after 50 Ready to stop guessing and discover what's really keeping you stuck?

    45 | Body Fat Levels: 7 Questions Every Christian Over 40 Should Ask

    You may have noticed that maintaining your weight takes more effort than it used to. Perhaps you've lost weight in the past only to gain it back again. Or maybe you've reached a point where you're beginning to think less about looking younger and more about staying strong, active, independent, and healthy for the decades ahead. The truth is, the number on the scales tells only a small part of the story. Most people have spent years focusing on body weight, yet very few understand their body fat levels, muscle mass, or what those numbers may be revealing about their future health. And if you've ever felt frustrated by the scales, confused by conflicting advice, or concerned about maintaining your energy and vitality as you get older, this conversation may help you see things in a completely different way. In this episode, I'm sharing why body fat levels often reveal far more about your health than body weight ever could, the seven questions every Christian over 40 should ask, why losing muscle can be more damaging than carrying a few extra pounds, the hidden dangers of visceral fat, and how body composition influences your metabolism, strength, independence, and long-term health. You'll discover why healthy stewardship isn't about becoming lighter, but about becoming stronger, more resilient, and better equipped to serve God, your family, and others for years to come. In This Episode You'll Learn Why body fat levels matter more than body weight The difference between losing fat and losing muscle How visceral fat impacts metabolic health Why strength becomes increasingly important after 40 The connection between body composition and healthy aging How body fat levels affect metabolic syndrome risk Why healthy stewardship is about strength, not vanity The daily habits that quietly shape your future health Resources & Links Mentioned 🌟 Book a Metabolic Breakthrough Consultation https://healthinfaith.com/breakthrough 👉 Join Health for Life - my 12 week group coaching program for Christians https://healthinfaith.com/hfl 🎁 Download the FREE 4-Step Metabolic Health Reset Guide https://healthinfaith.com/guide 📩 Contact Laura https://healthinfaith.com/contact Episode Blog Post & Notes: https://healthinfaith.com/2026/05/30/45-body-fat-levels-christians-over-40/

    44 | Metabolic Syndrome and Health Stewardship — 5 Warning Signs You Shouldn’t Ignore

    Tired all the time, struggling with stubborn belly fat, dealing with rising blood sugar or brain fog, and wondering why your body no longer seems to respond the way it used to? Ever feel like modern life slowly wears people down while everyone calls it “normal aging”? Could seemingly separate problems like fatigue, cravings, high blood pressure, and weight gain actually be connected? In this episode, I’m unpacking the hidden metabolic crisis affecting millions of people today: metabolic syndrome. We’ll explore why so many common health struggles are often symptoms of the same underlying metabolic dysfunction, why modern healthcare frequently treats these warning signs in silos, and why the good news is that metabolic syndrome is often highly reversible with wise, consistent stewardship. I’ll walk you through the five key warning signs to watch for, what insulin resistance is really doing inside the body, and practical ways to begin restoring energy, blood sugar balance, metabolic flexibility, and long-term health naturally. If you’ve been feeling frustrated, inflamed, exhausted, or stuck in a body that no longer feels like your own, this episode will help you understand what may really be happening beneath the surface — and why there is genuine hope. Key Topics Covered What metabolic syndrome actually is The 5 warning signs of metabolic syndrome Insulin resistance explained simply Why belly fat is often a metabolic warning sign Fatigue, blood sugar crashes, and metabolic dysfunction The connection between stress, inflammation, and blood pressure Brain fog, cravings, and blood sugar instability Why modern life is creating metabolic chaos Biblical wisdom and health stewardship Why metabolic syndrome is often reversible If this episode encouraged you, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with a friend or family member who may be struggling silently with fatigue, weight gain, blood sugar issues, or metabolic syndrome symptoms.

    42 | Christian, Your Health & Body Isn’t Broken…You May Just Need the Right ‘Unlock Code’

    Feeling frustrated because you’re trying so hard to get healthy… but nothing seems to work? Wondering if your body is actually broken—or if you’ve just been given the wrong plan?

    Tired of feeling like you’re doing “everything right” but still struggling with fatigue, brain fog, or stubborn belly fat? Wondering why your efforts aren’t translating into real results — and if you’re missing something important? Could it be that the issue isn’t effort… but a lack of clarity about what your body actually needs? In this episode, I’m sharing Step 1 of the Biblical Health Blueprint: Stop Guessing and Start Testing — so you can move from confusion and frustration into clarity, confidence, and real healing. We’ll explore why so many women feel stuck despite trying hard, how “healthy eating” can often miss the mark without proper insight, and why testing is the foundational step for restoring energy, balancing weight, and supporting your body as God designed it. I’ll walk you through simple, practical ways to begin testing — from nutritional blood work to food tracking and lifestyle assessments — so you can identify root causes like nutrient deficiencies, blood sugar imbalances, and metabolic dysfunction. If you’re ready to stop second-guessing your health and start making wise, informed decisions that actually move the needle, this episode will give you the clarity and direction you’ve been missing.
