    Episode 156: What I Learned In Italy About Food, Freedom and Faith

    After two weeks in Italy filled with buttery croissants, fresh pasta, pizza, wine, gelato, and unforgettable family memories, I came home with more than photos and souvenirs. I came home with perspective. In this final episode of the season, I'm sharing what God taught me about food, freedom, stewardship, and the subtle ways we can make our bodies, the scale, and our health goals into idols without even realizing it. We'll talk about: ✨ Why food doesn't deserve your fear ✨ The difference between stewardship and obsession ✨ How Romans 12:1-2 reshaped my perspective on health ✨ Why vacations should create memories—not anxiety ✨ What it looks like to honor God with your body without worshipping your body If you've ever felt stressed about summer travel, worried about gaining weight on vacation, or trapped in an all-or-nothing mindset around food, this episode is for you. Remember: your body is a gift to steward, not a god to serve. Resources Mentioned: 📖 Training in Righteousness Blueprint A biblical framework for building habits that honor God and create lasting change. 🍽️ Fed by Faith Nutrition Course Learn how to nourish your body with confidence, wisdom, and freedom—without dieting, guilt, or food obsession. Thank you for listening this season. My prayer is that these episodes have encouraged you to pursue both physical and spiritual strength as you live on mission for Christ.

What if it’s the cycle of: 👉 guilt 👉 restriction 👉 overeating 👉 starting over In this episode, we’re talking about how to enjoy summer WITHOUT spiraling into all-or-nothing eating. Because one meal doesn’t cause fat gain. 👉 Repeated unhealthy patterns do.

    Episode 153: Intermittent Fasting: Fat Loss, Hormones & God’s Design

    If you’ve ever thought… 👉 “Fasting sounds extreme” 👉 “I could never skip meals” 👉 “Won’t that slow my metabolism?” This episode is for you. Today we’re breaking down intermittent fasting in the simplest way possible—no extremes, no confusion—just truth. Because fasting isn’t about starving yourself… 👉 it’s about finally giving your body a break 👉 and allowing it to work the way God designed it to 💡 What You’ll Learn in This Episode: What intermittent fasting actually is (and what it’s NOT)Why eating all day long may be keeping you stuckHow your body switches from burning sugar → to burning fatThe role of insulin in fat loss and why fasting helpsWhy you do NOT have to give up carbs to lose fatHow fasting supports brain health, energy, and hormone balanceWhat autophagy is (in simple terms) and why it matters for healingHow intermittent fasting aligns with your circadian rhythmA biblical perspective on rhythm and eating during the day📖 Scripture Highlight: “Then they came to urge David to eat food while it was still day…” — 2 Samuel 3:35A reminder that God designed our bodies with rhythm— to fuel during the day and rest at night. 🔥 Key Takeaway: You don’t need another extreme plan. 👉 You need rhythm. 👉 You need consistency. 👉 You need to stop working against your body. Fuel well during the day. Give your body time to rest and burn fat at night. 👣 Where to Start: Keep it simple: ✔️ Stop eating after dinner ✔️ Give your body 12–14 hours overnight ✔️ Build up to 14–16 hours as your body adjusts ⚖️ Important Note: Intermittent fasting is not a replacement for whole-food nutrition. You can’t fast all morning and then eat highly processed foods all afternoon and expect healing. 👉 Fasting works with real, whole foods—not instead of them. 📝 Take the Quiz: https://www.fasterwaycoach.com/protocol-quiz?aid=racheljmitchell Not sure what fasting schedule is best for your body?
