Feed Yourself: Healthy Habits for the Mind, Body, & Soul is all about learning the key components of overall health based on Biblical principles. When most people think about getting in shape and becoming “healthy”, they immediately think about their physical health: losing weight, making exercise a priority, possessing flexibility and endurance, and remaining disease free. But Scripture makes it clear that physical wellness is not the only area that impacts health. In order to be TRULY healthy, we have to focus on four areas: spiritual health, emotional health, mental health, and physical health. 

This podcast dives deep into the tools and head knowledge you will need in order to create lasting results, but it also looks at the element that truly ties it all together – the heart knowledge that incorporates faith in God in this area of our lives and how to apply it when things get tough (and they will!).

I wanted to create a space to let you know you are never alone on this journey. Through years of experience in doing everything the WRONG way, I am here to share my journey of getting healthy from the inside out – ditching the restriction and diet culture and truly learning to treat my body as the temple God intended it to be.

The Importance of Healthy Sleep (and how to get it)

SHOW NOTES: Episode 42

Sleep plays a crucial role when it comes to overall health and quality of life. What happens when you are sleeping contributes greatly to how you feel when you are awake. 

In children, sleep also helps support their growth and development. Over time, getting inadequate sleep can increase risk of long-term issues: heart, respiratory, immunity, as well as brain function. 

These are just some of the reasons why I wanted to bring on my friend, Kaley Medina, to talk to us all about the importance of sleep and give us some tips on how to get more quality sleep.

Kaley Medina, is the Founder of Live Love Sleep, the nation’s leading Pediatric and Adult Sleep Coaching Agency. Kaley partners with families worldwide and teaches healthy sleep habits to newborns, infants, children, and adults. Through her unique sleep consulting program, Kaley takes a new approach to traditional sleep coaching and empowers her clients to lean in and love parenting as much as they love their children. Through customized sleep coaching programs, sleep consulting, and shifts in habits, she can help children love bedtime and sleep through the night. As a mother of two, Kaley founded Live Love Sleep out of a void in her postpartum journey to support & educate new families on the importance of sleep. She credits sleep as the foundation needed to be strong and healthy for her family.

How Telling Yourself “I Deserve…” is Causing You to Gain Weight

SHOW NOTES: Episode 39

“I deserve some ______________”

How do you feel in the blank?

Ice cream, donuts, chocolate cake, a bag of chips, a big bowl of pasta?

Well… this way of thinking is causing you to gain weight, my friend.

And it’s time to stop the excuses and start losing the weight you say you want to want to lose and finally feel good in your skin!

Instead, let’s talk about what you really DO deserve! (And it isn’t to continue feeling the way you do right now)

How Do You Take Thoughts Captive?

SHOW NOTES: Episode 36

How do you take thoughts captive and what does this even mean? 

Taking your thoughts captive means you choose what you allow to take up residence in your mind. It means aligning the desires of your heart with what God desires for you and then believing what God desires for you. There’s a huge difference in having that head knowledge and truly believing what you know to be true. 

It is not God’s desire for you to condemn yourself, constantly criticize yourself, and speak negatively toward yourself. Our thoughts have such a massive impact on our lives that it’s important to be able to discern between what God says and what the enemy is trying to lead us to believe. 

So how do we do this?

It’s all in today’s episode.

Carb Cycling: Is This Weight Loss Strategy for YOU?

SHOW NOTES: Episode 35

The term “carb cycling” has been trending for several years now, and yet there is still so much confusion surrounding what it actually is and how to do it correctly.

The big questions everybody wants to know: will carb cycling work for me and how on earth do you implement carb cycling?

I answer all of these and more in today’s episode.
