Do you struggle with low energy and catch yourself reminiscing about when you were “young” and able to keep up?

Are you overwhelmed by even having to THINK about what it’d take to lose weight?

Do you mindlessly snack and give in to late night cravings?

Are you bogged down by the shame that comes with knowing what to do, but not being able to get yourself to do it consistently?

Do you feel like anything you try is bound to fail, so there’s no point in trying anyway?

Friend, there’s HOPE! Hope to feel strong and confident in your body, to create consistency in your habits, to lose the weight, and to have clarity on how to partner with God to experience a healthy lifestyle that lasts!

Hey, I’m Robin Rhine McDonald, a follower of Jesus, a wife, a mama of 2, and a seminarian turned health coach. And I am SO excited that you are here!!

I found myself 20lbs heavier, struggling to keep my eyes open in the afternoons, with a face full of acne. I was confused as to how I ended up there, being that I worked out and felt like I ate fairly healthy.

It seemed like no matter what I tried, I couldn’t create the results I wanted in a way that I could see myself maintaining long term.

It wasn’t until I discovered the unlimited motivation and FREEDOM that exists in living according to God’s VISION for my life and health that I began to see changes.

That is when I realized the most important thing to ever impact my life and health - If I wanted change, I had to partner with God!

With God, I crafted a healthy lifestyle that led to ENERGY, healthy weight loss, and confidence in my body WITHOUT feeling overwhelmed or giving in to old patterns.

10 years and two kids later, by the GRACE OF GOD, I’m still prioritizing my health and feeling amazing.

I’ve become gripped with the vision of seeing EVERY body that comprises the BODY of Christ healthy and well.

In this podcast, I (and the guests I bring on) will show you how to:

*Achieve the results you want and KEEP them

*Implement simple healthy habits that you ENJOY that fit your busy schedule

*Ditch the negative beliefs and lies that keep you from creating results that LAST

*Take hold of Biblical health through truth and encouragement for healthy living

*Learn what it means to have Kingdom health as a Christian woman

*See the possibilities and opportunity of a healthy life in partnership with God

*Make changes NOW that will set you up for energy and vitality later in life

*Simplify cooking and preparing healthy meals and snacks for you and your family - that everyone LOVES

*Learn which foods and meals increase energy and support healthy weight loss

*Create endless motivation and drive for your health by aligning with God’s VISION for your life

*Partner with God every step of the way!

I mix my seminary education with my studies in integrative nutrition to help Jesus loving women, like YOU, develop the energy and vitality to live out their unique God-given calling!

Go grab a giant water bottle and start sipping. It’s time to learn how to create the healthy lifestyle you’ve always wanted - with Jesus as the VISION that drives you.

Hit play and listen on!

    67. What Does It Mean to Lose Weight in a Healthy Way? A Biblical Look at Healthy Weight Loss

    67. What Does It Mean to Lose Weight in a Healthy Way? A Biblical Look at Healthy Weight Loss

    Hey Friend!
    Have you ever wondered what a healthy amount of weight is to lose each week?
     
    Or perhaps what a healthy way to lose weight is?
     
    Maybe you find yourself late for events because you’ve changed outfits 5 times because nothing fits and you’re uncomfortable in our own skin.
     
    Maybe you lack confidence in your appearance.
     
    Maybe you feel sluggish and over feeling sick and tired.
     
    And when you’re feeling that way, a weight loss solution that promises to be easy and quick sounds very appealing.
     
    Throw in the social proof from friends who've done it and have already lost 20, 30 pounds and it's easy to consider joining the bandwagon.
     
    In today's episode I am giving you specific criteria to look at to asses whether you are on a HEALTHY weight loss journey - or not.
     
    And we're going to do it using a biblical principle that I think you'll find helpful for nearly any area of your life, given the right criteria.
     
    I hope it blesses you!
    Robin

    66. Holy & Hungry | Defeating Food Temptation and Laying down Idols With 1 Corinthians 10

    66. Holy & Hungry | Defeating Food Temptation and Laying down Idols With 1 Corinthians 10

    Hey Friend!
    Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 10 to eat or drink for the glory of God and he also says that everything is lawful.
     
    Does that mean we can eat anything and everything?
    Is this the biblical version of being anti-diet?
     
    Today I'm taking a look at 1 Corinthians 10 and what Paul was really getting at and how we can take His advice and wisdom and apply it to our own health journey.Be blessed!

Perfect Timing, Perfect fit

I have just found this podcast. Wow ;what an absolute blessing. A Christ centered focused, healthy view. I haven’t been listening for long, but I have learned so much already.

Thank you Ms. Robin I pray blessings on you and that the Lord continues to add to your clientele, and use you to proclaim, his word. Just like scripture says “I pray that you may prosper and be in good health even as your soul prospers..”

It also was a great find prior to the holidays to help change the mindset of holiday eating , Not just turn over a new leaf. Thanks again “can’t weight “ for more to come.
