Vision Driven Health - Weight Loss for Christian Women, Biblical Health, Conquer Cravings, Kingdom Mindset, Increase Energy N

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!

    113. The Top Mistake I See With Nutrition. How Blood Sugar Levels Affect Weight Loss And Chronic Disease

    Hey Friend, If you're someone who genuinely wants to create health in your body and you want to make healthy choices, and maybe you feel like you're already MAKING healthy choices, but you're still struggling with weight loss, or you're still dealing with fatigue, maybe your blood work isn't where you'd expect it to be...   It's possible that THIS simple mistake is playing a big part in it all. And that mistake is... poor blood sugar regulation.   I see this SO often with clients and non-clients. I think a BIG reason why it's so common is because there are a LOT of "healthy" foods that people eat on a regular basis that are consistent blood sugar raisers. (Also known as high glycemic foods)   In today's episode I'm going to explain why balancing your blood sugar matters and how what you eat plays directly into it   I'll also give some tips on how you can begin to EASILY regulate your blood sugar today!   Be blessed and enjoy!

    112. Holy & Hungry | How to Use Grace to Break Unhealthy Habits and End Vicious Cycles

    Hey Friend, Back in June I released an episode, episode 82 if you want to listen, where I included a recording from a training I did a few years ago on your identity in Christ and how that relates to your health.   I have another clip for you today from a series I did on Grace and how GRACE is crucial for creating a healthy lifestyle that lasts.   In today's clip I define what an unhealthy vicious cycle looks like and take you into your thought process and provide insight into how you can BREAK those unhealthy patterns and begin to form healthy habits that last!   Please forgive any weird audio or background noise, this was a raw live recording. I'll give some shout outs in the middle of it for the gals who were there during it, and it's just a little less polished.   But hopefully you'll appreciate it and find the content valuable.   With that said, be blessed! - Robin   *** Join the wait list for the upcoming cohort of the Healthy Weight Loss Academy and be the first to save! visiondrivenhealth.com/course *** When you're ready, here are 4 ways I can support you in your health journey:    1.
