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

Today's episode needs to happen because #1 I LOVE food. and #2 I REALLY LOVE holiday food. I have varied in my approach to healthy eating over the years and one thing has stayed the same - I do not skimp on my holiday meals, PARTICULARLY Thanksgiving.

 

My birthday is always the week of Thanksgiving, sometimes it falls on Thanksgiving, so I feel that adds to the special place that Thanksgiving has in my heart.It's a FEAST of gratitude for all that means so much to me and the life God has given me.

 

However, I also know that with these more indulgent meals and foods comes what can feel like inevitable weight gain.

 

Today I am going to give reveal what common holiday eating habits CAUSE weight gain as well as provide some simple and effective tips to NOT gain weight while still enjoying your favorite holiday foods.

 

I've seen these tips help my clients, and I'm confident, if applied, they can help you too!

 

Blessings,

Robin

Have you ever felt like everything you know was just stripped away?

Maybe a big shift in your life took place, an unexpected circumstance or challenge came up, and any and all routine or efforts you had for healthy habits got totally derailed.

 

You feel like time and time again you muster the motivation to try to be consistent with your health and SOMETHING always seems to get you off track

 

In today's episode we are looking at Daniel 1 where I believe there is some VERY helpful insight in this story about a 16 year old Hebrew kid on how to partner with God to be consistent and overcome emotional eating.

 

I pray it blesses you!

-Robin

I started health coaching because I want to see the bodies that comprise the Body of Christ healthy and well. That being the goal, addressing the issue of chronic disease is EXTREMELY important in order to bring about physical health in the Body of Christ.

 

If you want to know WHY chronic disease is on the rise, why 80% of American adults are overweight or obese, and why nearly half have at least one chronic disease, and WHAt we can do about it as followers of Jesus, then listen on!

 

I hope this episode gets you as amped as it got me! 

Blessings & Health,

Robin

If you've fallen off track in your healthy habits and you need some encouragement and inspiration to take ACTION and partner with God, THIS episode is exactly what you need.

 

Today's episode was inspired by a talk I put together for an upcoming conference I'd LOVE for you to benefit from.

 

The conference is called "RENEWED". My friend, Erica Castro-Diaz who was my guest in episode 105 a couple of months ago. She shared her amazing testimony of getting set free from addiction, depression, and overcoming cancer.

 

Her Renewed Conference is a virtual experience designed to empower and equip Christian women to KNOW and TRUST God more in seasons of waiting.

 

It is TOTALLY FREE and sign ups are starting now. You can go to visiondrivenhealth.com/renewed to join.

 

Otherwise, gear up to be inspired in today's episode on how to take back your health in partnership with God!

 

Grace & Health,

Robin

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!

Robin

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

If you find yourself struggling to muster the energy to get in the kitchen and cook a meal...

 

If you find yourself having food delivered more often than you care to admit...

 

If picking up something quick and easy is your go to rather than whipping something up at home...

 

AND you struggle with fatigue, this episode has your name written all over it!

 

I am going to talk through WHY we often feel fatigue, what kind of food can help, AND my hope is that you finish listening to this episode feeling excited to get back in the kitchen and cook.

 

Blessings!

Robin

What do we see in the Bible that gives insight into HOW we can partner with God and better understand His part in our physical well being?

 

What does this look like, PRACTICALLY?

 

Today we're taking a look at a few Bible passages that, I believe, provide greater insight into God's perspective of health, His interest in our well being, and how you can partner with Him in your wellness journey.

 

Be blessed!

If you find yourself opening the pantry or the freezer at the end of a long day...

 

If treating yourself to a fancy coffee and a pastry when you've had hard day has become routine instead of occasional...

 

If thinking about food and what you'll eat next consumes your thoughts when you're trying to get something done...

 

You might be battling some emotional eating.

 

And in today's episode, I will be outlining what stress eating is, how cravings come into play, and what you can do, even in the next 2 weeks, to partner with God and shift yourself out of those pattern.

 

If you're ready to kick stress eating to the curb, listen on!

 

With grace,

Robin
