Are you ready to ditch diet culture without ditching your health?Do you long to feel comfortable in your own skin?Are you sick of riding the diet roller coaster?
Do you feel out of control around certain foods?
Do you just wish that creating healthy habits felt easier?
Well friend, I'm here for you! Hi, my name is Jenna Waite. I'm a registered dietitian-nutritionist, middle-aged mom, and committed follower of Christ. Although we live in a world full of diet culture and body shaming, I believe it IS still possible to get healthy from a place of peace, acceptance, and love.
I'm dishing up practical, tactical advice to help you have more energy, enjoy better moods, and avoid health-related diseases. I'll show you how to make peace with your body so you can have more self-compassion, feel comfortable in your own skin, and have greater confidence no matter your size. And I'll help you improve your relationship with food so you can stop obsessing about every little thing you eat and use that energy for things that matter most.
And a powerful side effect of improving your healthy habits and relationship with food and your body is that you'll also be setting a life-changing example for your kids.
I grew up in a large body and felt so much shame about my weight for years. Even after becoming a dietitian and getting to a more socially acceptable size, I never felt my body was small enough. But thanks to some fantastic tools, along with help from God, I’ve finally learned to love and appreciate my body no matter how it looks. I've also felt the incredible freedom of taking my focus OFF of losing weight and putting it ONTO becoming healthy for health's sake.
I've found some amazing strategies that have helped me get rid of bad habits and replace them with tons of healthy, sustainable routines. We'll discuss topics like meal planning, mindful eating, food freedom, and much more.
With decades of education and experience behind me, I know how to sift through all the noise and false data around health and wellness. I'll give you trustworthy information based on the latest science and research. I'll also keep things low-drama with clean language so that you can feel comfortable listening with the kids around.
Because I embrace body diversity, I use a weight-neutral, non-diet, Health At Every Size (HAES) framework. Our bodies and lives are all very different, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach to health. I firmly believe getting healthy isn't a matter of having enough motivation or willpower, or punishing yourself to reach some arbitrary goal weight. It's about creating realistic, sustainable habits that you can continue for years to come.
So if you're ready to fill your life with sustainable healthy habits, all while inviting God on your journey, this podcast is for you! And if you're looking for more resources to help you on your health journey, here's what I have to offer:

Customer Reviews
Uplifting AND helpful!!
I love Jenna’s personal, encouraging style in this podcast - you can really hear her heart that “cheers you on” in areas that can often feel intimidating, daunting, and like a difficult battle for many. She shares super helpful tips AND real-life lessons from her experiences. Truly a gem of a podcast!!
You See Me…
I can relate to so many things that you talk about. The body story episode really hit home. It is truly unsettling to know that things that happened YEARS ago still shape who we are today. Thank you for your insight.
So helpful & relatable!
I’ve recently become a listener of this podcast and have enjoyed several episodes as they’ve popped into my feed. After listening to her episode on the “Body Story,” though, I felt compelled to write a review. Her opening references to her familial relationships that set the course for understanding how she has a parallels relationship with her body instantly drew me in, but her vulnerability in sharing how her body story was formed was completely relatable and allowed me to reflect on myself. Thank you for the honest insight as I begin the work to heal my relationship with food and my body!
