When women come to me to work together on their nutrition, I always end up hearing so many sad stories. These women are living lives where they’ve been skipping meals for years in order to lose weight. When they do eventually end up eating, they are terrified of carbs or eating over the 1,200 calories we've all been conditioned to think is a "magic" number. The nutrition world has come so far, and yet, the bad advice given years ago just won’t seem to go away.
When your goal is weight loss, you do need to be mindful of the calories you consume. However, when you aren’t eating enough, your weight loss efforts can be hindered as well.
Let’s talk about 3 reasons why you should actually be eating MORE in order to lose weight.
In this episode, we cover:Eating more (not less) to lose weight
How the restriction of calories can lead to self-sabotage
How the right type (not just the amount) of food matters
Why adequate calorie consumption is essential for optimal health in all areas

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.
Grab a cup of coffee and join me as I discuss healthy habits to incorporate in your daily life to propel you forward and FEED YOURSELF on your journey to health in all areas: mind, body, and soul!

There is a strong correlation between our nutrition and mental health. Unfortunately, the American diet is overloaded with processed foods that can lead to an increased risk of depression, cognitive impairment, and ADHD. On the flip side, a diet that centers around nutritious whole foods can actually help prevent many mental illnesses in most cases.
Here are four tips for improving your own mental health through a tried and trusted nutrition approach.
In this episode, we cover:How your mental health is closely related to what you eat
Ways to ensure adequate physical and mental health
Tips to promote overall wellness through nutrition
Adequate calorie consumption for brain health

Food dye is a chemical substance that was created to give food an artificial color, therefore “enhancing” the appearance and appeal of the food. There is quite a bit of controversy over the safety of food dyes, with some groups claiming they are toxic and lead to all sorts of medical issues, while other groups agree they are completely safe for consumption.
In the last 50 years, food dye consumption has increased by 500%. Can you guess who are the biggest consumers? That’s right…CHILDREN. So in this episode, I want to have an honest conversation and separate fact from fiction so you can make an informed decision about the use of food dyes in your own home.
In this episode, we cover:The dark truth about food dyes
What is food dye?
Potential side effects from food dye and who it impacts most
How to empower your kids to make informed decisions surrounding food dye

I have been a certified nutrition coach for 7 years, and I still cannot get over hearing all the crazy diet myths that have been passed down through the years. Almost every day, I hear someone bring up a myth about health and nutrition that will not die. This is one of the biggest reasons I feel it’s part of my calling to help spread God’s truth about our bodies and how to feed them as He intended. I also feel like it’s my duty to spread the word about the science behind the facts and help debunk some of these insane myths.
Check out this episode for the top 10 nutrition myths that just will not go away.
In this episode, we cover:Nutrition myths that won’t go away

I used to live between two extremes when it came to vacation: I would either throw caution to the wind and eat all the food in sight, or I would stress about how much weight I was going to gain and restrict myself for days to try to get the number on the scale to go down.
I have had several clients come to me within the last few weeks asking questions about what to do while traveling to stay on track and maintain their progress, so I thought it would be a good idea to share some of those tips here on the show. Many of you have worked hard and do not want to lose momentum and progress as you travel, but you also want to relax and have fun and spend quality time with your families. The good news is that you can do both!
Check out this episode for my three tips to staying on track while vacationing.
In this episode, we cover:3 tips for staying on track on vacation
Maintaining progress while you travel
Why having a coach can help you find vacation balance

A question I get asked quite often: Should I work out when I’m not feeling well?
This is where you have to get really good at listening to your body. Are you in a state of depletion where your body is truly needing rest and recovery to heal, or would some mild to moderate physical activity actually help you feel better?
In this episode, I dive into what to do in each scenario, as well as the best workouts to incorporate on active recovery days so your body can begin performing at its optimal level.
Check out this episode.

Our household has been flooded with sickness the last couple weeks, so I thought it would be fun to re-release one of my favorite episodes with my favorite person: my husband, Jordan! We recorded this epiosde back in 2022, and while so many things have changed, so many of them still remain the same.
Having a healthy relationship requires commitment. We talk a lot about how important it is to keep God at the center of it all first and foremost. We share about the behind the scenes of our relationship and how we got together including goals, challenges we have faced, parenting, and advice for couples. Above all else, in order to have a healthy relationship we remind you that finding the right one and keeping God in your relationship should be the most important part. If God is not in your relationship, it is not the right relationship. Continue to pursue God in all that you do, including in your relationships.
This was a fun Q&A with my husband and we hope you enjoy revisiting it! (Be on the lookout for an upcoming episode where we share our latest adventure of becoming a family of four later this year!)
In this episode, we cover:Healthy relationships
Keeping God center in your relationship
Advice for couples to have a healthy relationship

This is typically the time of year when people start to think about toning up for the summer. Unfortunately, most people immediately go straight to crash diets and massive amounts of cardio, thinking that is the solution, even though it never is.
There is so much science with research behind it proving that strength training is the answer to getting toned. You are never going to see tone unless you sculpt it. And that means lifting weights.
Check out today’s episode.
In this episode, we cover:How to “get toned” for summer
The benefits of strength training
The research behind how strength training can transform not only your body, but your mind as well

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.
In this episode, we cover:Crafting your personal food doctrine
Giving yourself freedom to appreciate food
Easter holiday nutrition insider tips

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.
In this episode, we cover:Ditching the “all or nothing” mindset
Yo-yo dieting and the fear of missing out concerning food
Achieving lasting weight loss without deprivation

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.
Grab a cup of coffee and join me as I discuss healthy habits to incorporate in your daily life to propel you forward and FEED YOURSELF on your journey to health in all areas: mind, body, and soul!

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.

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.

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.

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.
