Are you ready to discover how God’s design for food can heal your body and restore your faith? In this powerful episode of the Visibly Fit Podcast, I sit down with Andy Felton, submarine officer turned author of Nourished by Design, to explore how faith-based nutrition and intentional living can transform your physical, emotional, and spiritual health.

Andy’s journey is one so many can relate to—overcoming anxiety, battling infertility, and realizing the “standard” way of eating simply isn’t working. He shares how he partnered with God for healing, uncovered the Biblical truth about food, and found the science that confirms it.

We dig deep into what it means to have an embodied faith, where your beliefs show up in every bite you take. You’ll learn why much of our modern “food” isn’t really food at all, how metabolic dysfunction drives chronic disease, and why God’s plan for eating is meant to bring joy, flavor, and gratitude—not guilt or restriction.

If you’ve been searching for a Christian approach to nutrition that can renew your health and strengthen your walk with God, this episode will inspire you to start today.

We all have stories. Some we share openly—and some we bury deep. But what if the very breakthrough we’re praying for is hidden behind a conversation we’re afraid to have?

In this powerful episode of Visibly Fit, I sit down with BJ Communicates—an author, speaker, and communications coach who knows firsthand the weight and freedom found in speaking the truth in love. We talk about the healing power of hard conversations—what they are, why we avoid them, and how they might be the key to living a more authentic, healthy, and whole life.

BJ opens up about his personal relationship with his father, what he wishes he’d known before it was too late, and how that loss birthed his compelling urban fiction series designed to reflect our untold stories. We also explore why people hold back in relationships, how to speak up without being overly assertive, and what genuine communication looks like in marriage, parenting, and friendships.

If you’ve ever felt misunderstood, distant from someone you love, or just tired of carrying emotional weight in silence, this conversation is for you. It’s about healing from the inside out, restoring relationships, and honoring God through our communication.

Let this episode be your permission slip to speak up, lean in, and love better

Do you ever feel like your phone has more control over your life than you'd like to admit? Same here. In this episode of Visibly Fit, I get super real with you about my recent 72-hour technology fast—and let me tell you, it wasn’t easy.

My husband nudged me into it (okay, he challenged me), and I finally said yes after realizing just how overstimulated and under-connected I was feeling, especially with God. From missing step counts and flashlight moments, to not being able to use Siri or check the weather, this fast revealed how much I’ve come to rely on (and even be addicted to) my devices. 😳

But what did I gain? Peace. Presence. Clarity. Connection—with God, with myself, and with others. It became a spiritual detox that helped reset not just my brain, but my soul.

This isn’t just a story about me. It’s an invitation for you to take a step back, too. Could a fast—whether from tech, media, or even toxic people—be the breakthrough your brain and spirit are craving?
