Vision Driven Health - Weight Loss for Christian Women, Biblical Health, Conquer Cravings, Kingdom Mindset, Increase Energy Naturally
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!

Hey Friend,
We’ve all been there. You suddenly have an urge to eat a specific food you are specifically trying to avoid because you know once you’ve had one bite, you’ll have 10 more. And despite your efforts to think and talking yourself out of it, before you know it, you’ve already consumed more than you’d want and you feel miserable physically and you’re already beating yourself up.
Sometimes it happens even without thinking and it’s not until you’re in the middle of eating it that you realize you’ve made a choice you didn’t want to.
If you find yourself on the vicious cycle of emotional eating and giving into cravings, I have some very effective tips for you today.
From God’s design for your body to the grace He provides, there’s a way to end this cycle for good!
Be encouraged today!
-Robin

Hey Friend,
I haven't talked about today's topic in a little bit. It's actually a huge drive for why I do this.
I believe wholeheartedly that God cares deeply about our health and that it's not a secondary aspect of our walk with the Lord.
When we aren't intentionally caring for our physical well being - along with spiritual, emotional, and mental - we are metaphorically cutting off our right leg when it comes to having the full capacity to be and do all that God has called us to do.
After listening today I hope you find yourself inspired, motivated, and committed to partnering with God to create the necessary changes in your healthy habits.
Be blessed!!
Robin

Hey Friend!
My husband and I had the honor of getting to speak at our church and today's episode is a repurpose of the talk we gave on managing your mind.
Romans 12:2 says to be transformed by the RENEWING of your mind.
Any health journey is not one that will last if we do not learn how to take control of our thought life.
Here are some practical ways to take hold of your thought life for a physically healthy outcome!
Health & Joy,
Robin

Hey Friend!
If you're someone who struggles with pain in your body, low energy, difficulty sleeping, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or diabetes - it all stems from inflammation
Which might sound reductionistic, but the truth is, none of ailments come to exist in your body without inflammation kicking things off.
Today I'm giving a bit more detail about what inflammation is and how it shows up. I spend most of the time talking about 5 key nutrition tips you can start implementing NOW to reduce inflammation and turn your health around.
Grab a pen and get ready to set some intentions!

Hey Friend,
Today's talk is inspired by Valentine's Day last week some thoughts I've had on how to offer some encouragement in areas you might be feeling defeated in your health journey.
So if you ate too many chocolates last weekend or emotional eating got the best of you, today's a new day and this is your chance to reset and move forward in step with God.
Be blessed!

Hey Friend,
I hear it often from MOST of my listeners that the biggest challenge is being consistent.
If you deeply want to have a healthy lifestyle but feel that the chasm between where you're at and that dream lifestyle is WAY too wide to cross, today I've got hope and a way to make it across.
And I'll be honest, it's not easy
And it won't happen over night
But it is simple and it is possible!
I hope this episode inspires you!

Hey friend!
Welcome back to the Holy & Hungry segment of the Vision Driven Health podcast.
Every other week I do a more biblically focused episode that is meant to be a health devotional for you where you can bring your hunger to the table and be filled with what God has for your health.
Today I'm walking you through Psalm 103 and the encouragement that exists there for partnering with God in our health.
If you've found yourself feeling unmotivated, discouraged, or confused on how to make progress in your health, I think you'll find today's episode particularly helpful.
I hope it blesses you!

Hey Friend!
If you didn't grow up in a home with home cooked meals, of if you're like me, they were technically home cooked but they weren't necessarily of the healthy variety.
Or perhaps you feel with all that you've got going on there's just NO WAY you could consistently cook your meals.
Or maybe you're just someone who doesn't view cooking as their thing.
Well, today my intention is to inspire you to befriend the kitchen and discover the benefit of simple healthy recipes you can make a part of your daily and weekly routine.
I hope it does just that!
Blessings & Joy,
Robin

Hey Friend,
If you're someone who feels like you're at the end of your rope when it comes to your health...
Maybe you started the new year with resolutions and hopes of making some changes and they've already fallen through.
Maybe you are just worn down by trying doctor after doctor, diet after diet, and you need some encouragement for how to move forward in your health journey.
Looking at the situation the Israelites were in in Judges 6, you may find you've got some things in common with them as well as good reason to have hope for your circumstance!
I hope it blesses you!
