Do you struggle with low energy and catch yourself reminiscing about when you were “young” and able to keep up?
Are you overwhelmed by even having to THINK about what it’d take to lose weight?
Do you mindlessly snack and give in to late night cravings?
Are you bogged down by the shame that comes with knowing what to do, but not being able to get yourself to do it consistently?
Do you feel like anything you try is bound to fail, so there’s no point in trying anyway?
Friend, there’s HOPE! Hope to feel strong and confident in your body, to create consistency in your habits, to lose the weight, and to have clarity on how to partner with God to experience a healthy lifestyle that lasts!
Hey, I’m Robin Rhine McDonald, a follower of Jesus, a wife, a mama of 2, and a seminarian turned health coach. And I am SO excited that you are here!!
I found myself 20lbs heavier, struggling to keep my eyes open in the afternoons, with a face full of acne. I was confused as to how I ended up there, being that I worked out and felt like I ate fairly healthy.
It seemed like no matter what I tried, I couldn’t create the results I wanted in a way that I could see myself maintaining long term.
It wasn’t until I discovered the unlimited motivation and FREEDOM that exists in living according to God’s VISION for my life and health that I began to see changes.
That is when I realized the most important thing to ever impact my life and health - If I wanted change, I had to partner with God!
With God, I crafted a healthy lifestyle that led to ENERGY, healthy weight loss, and confidence in my body WITHOUT feeling overwhelmed or giving in to old patterns.
10 years and two kids later, by the GRACE OF GOD, I’m still prioritizing my health and feeling amazing.
I’ve become gripped with the vision of seeing EVERY body that comprises the BODY of Christ healthy and well.
In this podcast, I (and the guests I bring on) will show you how to:
*Achieve the results you want and KEEP them
*Implement simple healthy habits that you ENJOY that fit your busy schedule
*Ditch the negative beliefs and lies that keep you from creating results that LAST
*Take hold of Biblical health through truth and encouragement for healthy living
*Learn what it means to have Kingdom health as a Christian woman
*See the possibilities and opportunity of a healthy life in partnership with God
*Make changes NOW that will set you up for energy and vitality later in life
*Simplify cooking and preparing healthy meals and snacks for you and your family - that everyone LOVES
*Learn which foods and meals increase energy and support healthy weight loss
*Create endless motivation and drive for your health by aligning with God’s VISION for your life
*Partner with God every step of the way!
I mix my seminary education with my studies in integrative nutrition to help Jesus loving women, like YOU, develop the energy and vitality to live out their unique God-given calling!
Go grab a giant water bottle and start sipping. It’s time to learn how to create the healthy lifestyle you’ve always wanted - with Jesus as the VISION that drives you.
Hit play and listen on!

94. Holy & Hungry | Should Christians Eat Meat? Insight from Genesis 1 & 9.
Hey friend!
Welcome back to the Holy & Hungry segment of the Vision Driven Health podcast.
This mid week episode is a short health devotional for you where you can bring your hunger to the table and be filled with what God has for your health.
Today's topic can get pretty heated for some folks. I think those who are most passionate on either side are those who care most about what is right and what is best for our bodies.
I would definitely put myself in the category who cares deeply about what is honoring and pleasing to God AND I am very interested in what is most healthy for our bodies.
We'll be delving into a few commands given by God in Genesis along with some other theological concepts to wrestle with the question - should Christians eat meat?
I hope you find it valuable!
Blessings,
Robin

93. Avoid This Common Nutrition Mistake When Trying to Lose Weight the Healthy Way. How to Eat More of the Right Foods and Get Results!
Hey Friend!
When you want to lose weight, is your first inclination to cut out certain foods altogether?
To start eating significantly less to the point where you're always hungry?
Maybe you feel like you're already eating so little and eating pretty clean, but you aren't seeing the scale move.
In any of those cases, I imagine you also want to know WHAT to eat in order to get results.
I'm unpacking all of that today along with an example of what I eat in on an average day.
I hope you find this helpful and practical in your weight loss journey!
Be blessed,
Robin

91. Weight Fluctuations Are Part of the Journey. What’s Normal and How to Keep a Healthy Relationship With the Scale
Hey Friend,
By chance have your healthy habits been subject to whether or not the scale says a certain number?
You know, where you decide you're just going to have whatever you want for dinner and dessert because the scale went up after your indulgent lunch?
Or when you decide to do an extra 30 minutes on the treadmill because you ate a ton and gained 3lbs in one day?
I know I've been there! And I share a bit about that part of my story in today's episode
But most importantly, I let you know what you can expect when it comes to weight fluctuations and what it looks like to have a healthy relationship with the scale.
I hope this episode inspires you and provides you a path to a healthy, lasting future!
Blessings & Joy,
Robin

Customer Reviews
Wonderful podcast!
I love this podcast! Robin has so much great advice that can be applied in a practical way. I especially love how she stresses the importance of inviting God into our health journey! I never miss an episode!!
Truly An Answered Prayer
I’ve struggled for years with practicing healthy eating/exercise habits. Finally, I realized that I have been failing because I had not truly believed I could reach my health and fitness goals since I had failed so many times. I then surrendered my fitness and health goals to God and asked Him for His help. Recently, I found Robin’s podcast, and it has truly changed my mindset (which in turn has changed my life)! Robin shows how putting God first can help you achieve your health goals more than any diet or exercise. She explains that it’s not about how you look, but how you feel. It’s not about being strict with what we eat, but about caring for our bodies as God intended. With Robin’s help, I’m learning how to show myself grace, how to keep persevering, and how to feel comfortable again around food! I feel so blessed to have found this podcast!
Encouraging and Educational
I’ve been listening to the Vision Driven Health podcast the last month. I listen on my walks on Mondays and Wednesdays. I find myself looking forward to new episodes coming out. I feel motivated and encouraged after listening.
I’m a mom of 3 struggling with weight gain due to medication and poor lifestyle choices. Listening to Robin I’ve felt like I have a cheerleader.
