Welcome to the first episode of MetaboLivin’ - a faith-based metabolic health coaching podcast for women! I’m Kristi, a pharmacist turned faith-based metabolic health coach. I help Christian women who feel hopeless for long-lasting change tune into their bodies, build a grace-based lifestyle with strategic metabolic rhythms, and steward tools like GLP-1s and CGMs wisely — so they can stop striving for weight loss or hiding in shame, and instead start shining their light by livin’ in the overflow of renewed energy, confidence, and calling. This is a cozy, faith-based space where we talk about metabolic transformation and stewarding our bodies with Jesus at the center. No diet culture. No new-age wellness. No pressure to perform. No healthcare extremes. Just truth, grace, science, and the Holy Spirit. A blend of crunchy and conventional care. This is not a polished expert lecture. That's in my course! This is just me opening the door, patting the couch cushion beside me, handing you a collagen mushroom coffee, and saying, Here’s my story. Here’s why this matters. And here’s why you don’t have to walk this alone. For years, I lived in hiding, confusion, overwhelm, exhaustion, and the deeply personal frustration of thinking, “I’m doing everything right… so why does my body feel like it’s fighting me?” God brought me through a healing process that restored my energy, peace, confidence, and capacity to show up fully in the calling He placed on my life. Now I get to help other women do the same — not just so we feel better physically, but so we can live in the fullness of who God designed us to be. In this opening (and yes, delightfully tangential and meandering) episode, we explore: Why this podcast exists and the heart behind it What it means to steward metabolic health with Jesus at the center Why this space is not diet culture Becoming a woman who listens for both blood-sugar cues and the Lord’s leading Identity, surrender, encouragement, and healing when you feel dismissed or discouraged Using tools like CGMs, labs, supplements, or even GLP-1s with wisdom and without shame Healing after burnout, inflammation, hormone imbalance, chronic fatigue, or food reactions Choosing rhythms, rest, and grace over striving and perfection If you’ve ever thought, “I just want to feel like myself again,” or “Lord, I know healing is possible, but I’m tired” then this space was made for you! This is a new type of table (or couch? haha) for women who have felt overlooked, discouraged, or misunderstood in their metabolic health journey, yet still believe God restores, renews, and redeems. This is so much more than weight loss. Say goodbye to hiding in body shame and striving for weight loss. You are fearfully + wonderfully made. Let’s start livin’ like it. “...I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received.” - Ephesians 4:1 START LIVIN' TODAY: Ready to join my signature coaching program - Join the Waitlist to hear more about my upcoming launch!
