Her Holy Health

Could unforgiveness be one of the hidden reasons you keep turning to food for comfort?

In this episode of Her Holy Health, Jaclyn Renee exposes the fourth root of gluttony: unforgiveness.

Through her personal testimony and biblical teachings from Matthew 18, she explores how bitterness, resentment, and unresolved emotional pain influenced her struggles with emotional eating, food obsession, and restriction.

You'll discover why forgiveness and reconciliation aren't the same, how to examine your heart through Psalm 139:23–24, and three practical biblical steps to help you surrender unforgiveness to Jesus.

If you're a Christian woman struggling with emotional eating, gluttony, or feeling controlled by food, this episode will encourage you to look beyond your plate and invite God into the deeper work of healing your heart.

In this episode:

• The connection between unforgiveness and emotional eating

• What the Bible says about forgiving others

• Forgiving yourself and releasing resentment toward God

• Three biblical steps: Reveal, Repent & Release, Forgive

• Finding freedom from food obsession through dependence on Christ

You love Jesus. You eat healthy. You have discipline. So why are you STILL struggling with gluttony, overeating, and feeling controlled by food?

What if your constant striving to lose weight, heal your body, and eat perfectly is actually keeping you in bondage?

In Episode 19 of Her Holy Health, we're exposing the third root of gluttony: performance-based healing.

So many Christian women have turned biblical stewardship into perfectionism, control, and self-sufficiency. But you can eat the cleanest diet in the world and still be mastered by food.

Galatians 3:3 (ESV) asks, "Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh?"

In this episode, you'll discover why trying harder isn't the answer, how performance-based healing keeps you trapped in the restrict-and-overeat cycle, and how to begin surrendering your health journey to the Holy Spirit.

We'll also walk through my practical PRAY method to help you move from striving to surrender.

Sis, you are not your savior. Jesus is.

EP 18 | Mastered by Food: When Emotional Coping Turns to Gluttony

Have you ever wondered why you keep turning to food when you're stressed, anxious, lonely, or overwhelmed?

What if your struggle with emotional eating isn't actually about food, but about what you've been turning to for comfort?

In today's episode of Her Holy Health, we're exposing the second root of gluttony: emotional coping.

For years, I turned to food to soothe emotions I didn't know how to process. But here's what the Lord revealed to me:

Food was created to nourish your body, but it was never created to shepherd your soul.

Together, we're diving into what Scripture teaches about gluttony, food idolatry, and being mastered by our appetites. I'll share my personal testimony, explore 1 Corinthians 6:12 and Matthew 11:28–30, and teach you the four-question BBM Pause to help you recognize emotional eating patterns and begin turning to Jesus instead of food for comfort.

Because breaking free from gluttony isn't about another restrictive diet, more willpower, or controlling food harder. It's about addressing the deeper roots and learning to depend on the One who offers true rest.

If you're a Christian woman struggling with emotional eating, overeating, food guilt, or feeling out of control around food, this episode is for you.

Is food taking up more space in your mind and heart than God ever intended?

In this episode of Her Holy Health, we’re diving into the first root of gluttony: restriction.

Years of dieting, cutting carbs, counting calories, undereating, fasting, and trying to control your body can actually leave you more consumed with food, not less.

I’m exposing three common lies that keep women stuck in restriction and food bondage:

Carbs are bad.

You have to be in a calorie deficit to lose weight.

You need to “eat like a bird” to be healthy or thin.

We’ll talk about how restriction can fuel overeating, guilt, shame, food obsession, and eventually turn food, health, and your body into an idol.

Most importantly, we’re bringing it all back to biblical truth and talking about what it looks like to surrender your relationship with food to Jesus, nourish your body without fear, and practice self-control without deprivation.

If you’re tired of starting over Monday, obsessing over what you ate, fearing certain foods, or feeling like food has way too much power over your life, this episode is for you.

It’s time to stop letting diet culture disciple your relationship with food and start letting God transform it.

What if your struggle with food isn’t really about food?

You can change your diet, count calories, restrict harder, promise yourself you’ll “start again Monday”—and still find yourself right back in the same cycle.

Because sometimes we’re trying to change the fruit without ever addressing the root.

In this episode of Her Holy Health, I’m exposing the 4 roots of gluttony I see keeping Christian women stuck in food bondage:

Restriction and control
Emotional coping
Performance-based healing and self-sufficiency
Bitterness and unforgiveness

We’ll talk about how diet and wellness culture can reinforce these patterns, how the enemy can use food and body obsession to distract you from your God-given purpose, and what Scripture teaches us about self-control, surrender, stewardship, and true freedom.

If food is taking up more mental, emotional, or spiritual space in your life than you want it to, this episode is for you.

It’s time to stop fighting the fruit and ask God to reveal the root.

For nearly 30 years, I battled a toxic relationship with food.

I struggled with gluttony, food addiction, emotional eating, restriction, body obsession, and the constant cycle of striving to "fix" myself. I searched for freedom through diets, fitness, functional medicine, supplements, holistic health, and even New Age practices. While many of those things helped my physical body, none of them healed the deeper bondage I was carrying.

Everything changed when I surrendered my life to Jesus.

In this deeply personal episode of Her Holy Health, I share my complete testimony of how Christ broke me free from the bondage of gluttony, healed my relationship with food, and revealed that the greatest battle was never about food—it was about my heart.

In this episode, we'll discuss:

• My 30-year journey with food addiction and body image

• Why diets and health protocols never brought lasting freedom

• The hidden spiritual roots of gluttony

• How repentance transformed my relationship with food

• Why forgiveness became the missing piece in my healing

• The two Scriptures that completely renewed my mind

• How Jesus turned my greatest struggle into my greatest calling

If you've ever struggled with emotional eating, overeating, sugar cravings, food obsession, body image, or simply feel trapped in a cycle you can't seem to break, I pray this testimony reminds you that Jesus is still in the business of redeeming lives and that freedom is possible.

Are your words coming into agreement with God's truth... or the enemy's lies?

Every day, we speak thousands of words over ourselves. "I'll never heal." "I'm always anxious." "I'm just broken." But what if those words are reinforcing the very strongholds you've been praying God to break?

In this episode, we unpack the biblical meaning of Proverbs 18:21 and explore how our words reveal what we believe and who we're agreeing with. You'll learn why speaking life isn't about positive thinking or manifesting, but about coming into agreement with God's Word and declaring what He says over your life.

If you've been praying for healing while still rehearsing fear, shame, or your diagnosis, this episode is an invitation to pick up the Sword of the Spirit and begin speaking God's promises over your life.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why your words matter more than you think
• How the enemy plants lies and how we unknowingly come into agreement with them
• Why your identity should never be found in your diagnosis
• Three biblical truths to declare daily:
• Who you are in Christ
• Who God is
• What Jesus has already paid for
• How to replace fear with God's truth and begin speaking life over your health

30-Day Challenge

Choose three Scriptures from this episode and declare them over your life every morning for the next 30 days. Stop rehearsing your diagnosis and start rehearsing God's promises.

If this episode encouraged you, be sure to follow the podcast, leave a review, and share it with another sister in Christ who needs this message.

Is HRT biblical?

It's one of the biggest questions I've been asked lately, especially by Christian women navigating perimenopause, menopause, hormone imbalance, and confusing health decisions.

In this episode, we're looking at that question through both a biblical and scientific lens.

We'll talk about:

• Is HRT biblical?

• How Christians can discern modern treatments like hormone replacement therapy and peptides

• Why increasing protein may actually make some women feel worse

• The connection between gut health, hormones, and bloating

• How to steward your body without making health an idol

As a Christian holistic health coach, I believe true healing invites Jesus into both the spiritual and physical aspects of our lives. God cares about your heart, your mind, and the body He entrusted to you.

My prayer is that this conversation gives you greater peace, biblical discernment, and confidence to seek God first as you navigate your own healing journey.

Are you living in survival mode?

In this powerful episode, Jaclyn Renee explores what it truly means to enter God's rest and why so many Christian women remain stuck in cycles of striving, anxiety, burnout, and performance based healing.

Drawing from Matthew 11, Hebrews 3 and 4, the story of the Israelites, and other foundational Scriptures, Jaclyn reveals how a hardened heart can keep us wandering in the wilderness and how surrender, repentance, and intimacy with God open the door to His peace.

If you've been carrying burdens that belong at Jesus' feet, this episode is your invitation to stop striving and start resting in the presence, provision, and promises of God.

Because healing was never meant to be earned. It was always meant to flow from relationship.

Scriptures Referenced: Matthew 11:28-29 Psalm 46:10 Hebrews 3:5-8 Hebrews 4:1-4 Ezekiel 36:26 Joshua 21:45 Acts 3:19 Galatians 3:3 John 17:3 Psalm 139:23-24
