About Kim Taylor:

Kimberly is the founder and author of a world wide wellness program Take Back Your Temple (TBYT)! She empowers Christians to overcome their weight loss barriers and take back their health.


Her mission is close to her heart because she's overcome destructive emotional eating and sugar addiction from her own successful weight loss journey.

For over 25 years, she struggled with her weight. She settled for less than God’s best, using emotional eating to numb herself to life, eating her weight up to 240 pounds and a size 22.  Although she smiled on the outside, she was self-loathing and depressed on the inside.  As a Registered Nurse, she thought the right diet would fix her issues. But diets just left me feeling like a failure as she regained any weight she lost.  On December 11, 2003, she had an extreme chest pain that was killer.  She stood in her apartment with her hand over my heart, afraid to move because she thought she was going to die, God spoke to her.  He said, “It is not supposed to be this way.”

Rather than condemnation, God’s voice was full of love, kindness, and compassion.  The enemy wanted to steal from, kill and destroy and he wasn’t playing around. With God’s help, she had overcome what was once weighing her down.  Through her weight loss journey, I gained a new identity and learned how to treat my body as God’s temple.  Now she helps others overcome their weight issues with spiritual disciplines and practical steps.  She, and I, have both discovered that weight loss is a Spiritual and emotional battle.  The scripture 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 inspired the name Take Back Your Temple:

"Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s."
