The Best of 2023: Your #2 Top Episode

SHOW NOTES: Episode 56

This week, we are continuing the countdown of your top played Feed Yourself Episodes! 

Over the next few weeks, we will be replaying the top episodes of the year, so if you missed them or just want to hear them again…here they are!

Your #2 top episode is…How Do You Take Thoughts Captive?

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. 

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

In this episode, we cover:

  • What it means to take thoughts captive
  • How to take thoughts captive

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.

The Best of 2023: Your #3 Top Episode

SHOW NOTES: Episode 55

What better way to end 2023 with a bang than to countdown your top played Feed Yourself Episodes! 

For the next three weeks, we will be replaying the top three episodes of the year, so if you missed them or just want to hear them again…here they are!

Your #3 top episode is…Carb Cycling: Is This Weight Loss Strategy for YOU?

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. Carb cycling may seem fancy, but it is a pretty simple concept: you eat more carbohydrates on some days and fewer carbohydrates on other days. 

As with any nutrition strategy, carb cycling is not “magic.” It’s a tool in the toolbox of techniques that can be used to achieve a desired result. 

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. 

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

In this episode, we cover:

  • What carb cycling is and what it is not
  • How to implement carb cycling
  • How to know if carb cycling is right for you

Eating Well on a Budget

SHOW NOTES: Episode 54

One of the biggest issues I have with the food industry is how much more money it costs to buy nutritious foods to fuel your family than serving up overly processed foods each and every night. I totally understand when a mom tells me “it’s just too expensive to eat healthy.”  I have lots to say about this, however none of it is helpful in actually solving the problem that families are having a hard time being able to afford nutritious food to fuel their bodies right now. So with that, I wanted to offer up a few strategies to help you eat well while staying on a budget. 

Check out today’s episode.

RE-RELEASE: Why Fat Doesn’t Make You Fat

SHOW NOTES: Episode 53

“Eating fat makes you fat.” That has been the school of thinking for most Americans for more than two decades now. It’s a theory and myth that has kept our nation’s people sick and overweight. Fat isn’t bad on its own and there is no reason to fear it any longer. So if you banned fat back in the 90s, or if you are still holding on to the belief that eating fat will make you fat, it’s time to jump off that derailed bandwagon.

This episode is a re-release of my very first episode of Feed Yourself! Over the weekend, my family had burgers – not turkey burgers, but real hamburgers – and it made me remember all the days in the past that I too believed the lie of fat making you fat. So friend, I hope you listen to this episode and stop fearing the burger or whatever food it is that you love but have cut from your life out of fear. 

Check out today’s episode.

In this episode, we cover:

  • Why fat doesn’t make you fat
  • Fat is an essential part of a healthy diet
  • Eating the right kind of fats actually promotes weight loss

The Persistence of Resistance

SHOW NOTES: Episode 51

Resistance to change is one of the biggest, if not the biggest obstacles when it comes to making lifestyle health changes. You can expect to find resistance, not only from yourself but from others as well. You’re going to be doing things differently than you’ve always done them, and change is hard. 

What if you could stop focusing on all the negative “what ifs” associated with change and learned to look toward the positive?

Your Health + Your Wealth

SHOW NOTES: Episode 47

I had the pleasure of sitting down with one of my very first podcast guests, Eileen Joy, to discuss the four buckets of personal finances: saving/investing/giving/spending and the many parallels between your health and wealth.

Eileen Joy is The Money Coach for Moms and founder of Money School for Moms™. She teaches high achieving moms how to create wealth so they can have a healthy relationship with money, stop living paycheck to paycheck, and teach their kids about money so they can be set for life! Her 11-year-old son knows more about money than most adults.

Eileen created an easy system that any busy mom can follow and specializes in working with high achieving, professional moms who are committed to investing in themselves and their children. Eileen has created a safe and comfortable environment to learn about one of the most avoided and taboo subjects…money. No more shame, guilt, or embarrassment.
