Episode 012: Not Your Average Weight Loss Plan Mar 19, 2018

Show notes

Turns out inviting God into your health journey can be a radical idea for some. I've heard things like:

'God doesn't need to be bothered with my health' or
'God has bigger things to deal with than my problems' or
'God doesn't care what my body looks like so why would He care about my health?' or
'God loves me no matter how big or small I am, so why does it matter?'

But actually, if we do a little investigation, the Bible is full of evidence that our health does in fact matter to God, and more importantly than that, our decision to let God in on this journey is more for US than it is for Him.

Our health journey opens our eyes to areas in our spiritual journey that need more of God. More intervention. More transformation. More freedom. More love, grace and mercy.

Join me as we explore a 'not so average' approach to weight loss. One that puts God at the center.

Episode 011: Stop Failing Before You Get Started Mar 12, 2018

Show notes

What goes on inside our head is way more important than how many reps we do or how clean we eat. If you don't have the right mindset or expectations of what transformation really takes, you are setting yourself up for failure before you even begin.

In this episode we talk about how you take every thought captive and set yourself up for success mentally, to reap the results physically.

With God, ALL things are possible. If God is for you, who can be against you?

Episode 010: God's Purpose For Your Health Mar 06, 2018

Show notes

For everything we do, there is a purpose behind it. And the same goes for God. For everything He does, there is a purpose. And He created you, and your health, for a certain purpose.

In this episode we explore God's purpose for your health and how that affects your daily life, thoughts and actions.

To your health,

009: Finding Your Health Identity Feb 22, 2018

Show notes

What roles do you play? What hats do you wear?

Wife
Mother
Sister
Friend
Co-worker
Teacher
the list goes on...

And what happens when something 'goes wrong' or there is a miscommunication, misperception or trauma? It can fully throw us into a tailspin emotionally, spiritually and physically.

Finding our identity in the roles we play or different 'hats we wear' is a shaky place to find our true value and worth.

But when we find our identity solely in Christ, being hidden and covered by Him, our value, worth, love and acceptance are never questioned. The strains and pressures of performance and duty are washed away. He is our sole provider and redeemer. Our solid rock whose love never fails and whose forgiveness and love are freely given.

Let's start the examination process to find where we're placing our identity, and finding freedom and grace when it's placed in the loving arms of our Father in Heaven.

006: [Part 5 of 5] The Best, Fastest and Most Effective Exercise for Health and Weight Loss Feb 01, 2018

Show notes

In our final section of The Daily5 ™ five-part series, we have been exploring the five most critical daily actions for weight loss, healthy living and habit creation for sustainable results.

Today's final part focuses on the dreaded 'E' word: Exercise. For most people this is a begrudging topic that elicits visions of spandex, loud music, and working til you drop in a puddle of sweat. Who has the time, and that many spandex outfits? ;)

Great news! There's a better way. And in today's episode we explore a kind of workout that science is showing us takes a fraction of the time, yet reaps the same physiologic benefits as an hour on the treadmill.

The flip-side of that is there are no more excuses to not getting your heart pumping and lowering your risk of heart disease, diabetes, and depression, while increasing your happiness, relieving stress and losing inches.

005: [Part 4 of 5] How to Become a Fat Burning Machine (Aka Weight Loss with Ketosis) Feb 01, 2018

Show notes

Our body is an efficiency machine, and if we treat it right, it will help us by using it's own fat stores for energy, which means more rapid weight loss!

We live in a culture where more often than not, we are consuming more than we need, and the body stores the excess as fat. So how can we actually turn the tables and help our body give us all the energy we need and burn our own fat in the process? This is what is called ketosis.

You may have heard of 'keto diets', which help your body do just that, but it's not necessarily a sustainable way of eating, long term. Instead, use these tips in Part 4 of our 5 part series and get your body into fat-burning mode (ketosis) by eating healthy, whole-food meals in a certain way that is sustainable and easy.

004: [Part 3 of 5] Healthy Meals for Weight Loss - Clean Eating with Real, Whole Foods Feb 01, 2018

Show notes

I am not a fan of fads, gimmicks, pills, elixirs etc. when it comes to weight loss, are you? Those things are often unsustainable, expensive, and typically highly processed. Do you want to learn how to eat the good food God created, and use it to maximize your health and aid in weight loss? Me too! And that's what this episode is all about.

We can easily over-complicate healthy cooking. So that's why in Part 3 of our 5 part series we break down your two main meals: lunch and dinner. We can make it very simple to get all the nutrients we need without a big fuss or hours in the kitchen.

It's time to return to the way God intended it to be: eating real, whole foods from nature, lean protein and healthy fats the way He designed them. He's our Creator, so wouldn't the food He provided for us be the best solution for our health?

Let's get to it!
