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!

74. Holy & Hungry | the Power of Practicing Gratitude for Your Health & 1 Year Anniversary Celebration!
Hey Friend!
I got so excited a couple weeks ago when I realized that today's episode would land EXACTLY one year from when I FIRST launched this podcast.
I cannot believe it's already been a whole year!!
I thought the MOST applicable topic we could do for today's Holy and Hungry segment is GRATITUDE, because man, I am SOOOooo grateful for this journey.
If you're new, this Holy and Hungry segment is a midweek episode that serves as 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.
I started it a few months ago and it's become one of my favorite parts of running this podcast.
Today will be a bit different and bit longer than usual because I am doing a SPECIAL giveaway as part of the 1 year anniversary -see the notes below - AND I'm going to take some time to give God GLORY and praise for all He'd done in this show the last year.
This episode wraps up with a look at the power of practicing gratitude for your psychological, physical, and social well being. What we know biblically about gratitude has been affirmed scientifically. Stick to the end to hear how gratitude can impact your life!
Be blessed!
Robin

72. Holy & Hungry | Eating & Drinking the Body & Blood of Jesus - The Implications of Holy Communion for Healthy Living
Hey Friend,
These mid week episodes are all about bringing our hunger to the table to be filled with what God has for our health.
And today, we are REALLY talking about what it means to be FILLED with God because we are talking about the sacrament of Holy Communion or Eucharist as some of you may know it.
For today's topic, the phrase "You are what you eat" is applicable and particularly powerful.
Whether communion is something you value greatly or a church practice you've never quite understood, I trust you'll get something out of this.
Stick with me to the end, because as we consider the meaning of Holy Communion, I'm giving you 3 implications for HEALTHY LIVING and how you can further connect with God in your health journey.
Be blessed!

71. Feeling Overwhelmed and Discouraged? Discover Hope for Healthy Weight Loss With Heather Palermo & Tatiana Urbina
Hey Friend,
Today's episode is EXTRA special because I am talking with two of my clients who have SO much hope and encouragement to offer you.
If you're someone who has experienced unexpected weight gain whether from a stressful time, a medication, or from the season of early motherhood, you'll particularly resonate with the stories of these two ladies.
But more importantly, if you're someone who is feeling discouraged, this episode is for you.
Maybe you're ready to throw in the towel and you've found this episode by looking for SOME kind of support for Christian women on how to lose weight in a healthy way. If that's you, you're in the right spot.
Because the stories my clients have to share are so many of your stories as well.
Juggling ministry and kids, going to school and navigating mental health challenges... these gals were not without hurdles to creating a healthy lifestyle.
And yet, they've surprised even themselves on where they're at after just 6 weeks.
If losing weight in a HEALTHY way feels impossible...
If you are nearly ready to throw in the towel...
I encourage you to take a deep breath and prepare yourself to get inspired!

Perfect Timing, Perfect fit
I have just found this podcast. Wow ;what an absolute blessing. A Christ centered focused, healthy view. I haven’t been listening for long, but I have learned so much already.
Thank you Ms. Robin I pray blessings on you and that the Lord continues to add to your clientele, and use you to proclaim, his word. Just like scripture says “I pray that you may prosper and be in good health even as your soul prospers..”
It also was a great find prior to the holidays to help change the mindset of holiday eating , Not just turn over a new leaf. Thanks again “can’t weight “ for more to come.
