MORE ABOUT FEED YOURSELF: HEALTHY HABITS FOR THE MIND, BODY, & SOUL PODCAST:

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.

Easter Nutrition Unwrapped: Insider Tips from a Nutrition Coach

Rachel KingLeave a comment

SHOW NOTES: Episode 64

Like most families who celebrate, our family has certain traditions that we do each year on Easter. As with most traditional holidays, a lot of these traditions are centered around food and family.

Today’s podcast episode was inspired by a question I received from one of my current clients inside my 6 week private nutrition program. I am so glad she asked this question because I feel like anyone who has gone on a “diet” has had similar thoughts. On one hand, you do not want to flush your progress down the drain, and on the other hand you do not want to become obsessive and miss out on moments that matter most with your family. 

Here are my 3 insider tips for handling the Easter holiday (or any holiday!) while keeping your nutrition in check.

Check out today’s episode.

Thank you for tuning in! I’d love to chat more about this and any other nutrition questions you have over on Instagram (@rachelmeigsking)!

  • Crafting your personal food doctrine
  • Giving yourself freedom to appreciate food

Ditching the All or Nothing Mentality

Rachel KingLeave a comment

SHOW NOTES: Episode 63

I have realized that most of the time when someone throws themselves into something with an all or nothing mindset, it is truly because they want to do it right. They want a set of guidelines or rules to follow, and then they want to stick to it. When they don’t, they assume they failed and they go back to the old habits that bring them comfort because no one likes to feel like a failure. Life doesn’t stop happening just because you decide to go on a diet, and if you aren’t careful, this is where a bad relationship with food can become worse. 

However, that doesn’t have to be the case. There is a better way.

Essential Nutrients for Women While Losing Weight

Rachel KingLeave a comment

SHOW NOTES: Episode 62

My goal is to help you achieve lasting weight loss without living in a constant state of deprivation. Deprivation does not just mean feeling deprived, but actually BEING deprived. When women severely restrict calories, it becomes really easy to restrict essential nutrients as well. There’s a right way and a wrong way, a healthy way and an unhealthy way, to lose weight. When you decide to give your body what it needs instead of depriving it, your body will respond.

The Importance of Rest

Rachel KingLeave a comment

SHOW NOTES: Episode 60

Most of us are chronically tired and overly stressed. So many of us are caught up in the everyday grind that has become the norm of life, and rest for ourselves simply gets put on the back burner. Rest is more than just restoration for your tired body. It’s a restoration for your tired soul as well. When we continually try to carry our heavy load in our own strength, we get burdened down. The Lord desires for us to feel light, and to bring our burdens and the things that keep us up at night to Him, and He will give us the rest we need. Instead of stress, we can let go and rest.

Are You Making Food an Idol?

Are You Making Food an Idol?

Rachel KingLeave a comment

SHOW NOTES: Episode 59

Food can be an idol just like anything else in our lives. It can consume our thoughts, our attitudes, and our actions. It can be something we constantly think about, dwell on, or even covet. Our contentment and satisfaction should be found in Christ alone, and when that begins to fade, food can creep in and take its place.

When we put the food we eat or the number on the scale before God, we are truly missing out on what He has in store for our lives because we aren’t seeking His face. Instead, we are seeking to hide or heal with food.

In this episode, we cover:

  • How food can become an idol in your life

New Year, Same Me

New Year, Same Me

Rachel KingLeave a comment

SHOW NOTES: Episode 58

It’s a brand new year, and with that comes lots of resolutions for most people. While these are usually fantastic things to strive to accomplish, almost no one finishes the year having completed the things they set out to do at the beginning of the year. 

Why do you think this is? Deep in my heart, I truly think that the reason is because we set out to completely change ourselves instead of learning to embrace our God-given bodies and seeking out ways to take care of them. 

Every year in January, I hear well meaning people proclaim the mantra “new year, new me.” I would love for you to ask yourself the question, “Why would you want to be someone you’re not?” God created you just the way you are. You have quirks, you have tendencies, and you have a unique personality unlike anyone else. You can absolutely work on yourself while also loving yourself through the process. 

In this episode, I invite you to start the new year looking to embrace who you are and letting the Lord refine you into just how you were created to be. 

Check out today’s episode.
