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,
I've heard MANY clients say, while they're in the middle of experiencing the excitement of weight loss, increased energy, and a new found love for cooking that they are AFRAID of losing all the progress they've made.
They start thinking about the times in the past where they were successful and then something came up and totally derailed them.
Having navigated these feelings and circumstances numerous times with clients, in today's episode I'm sharing the top 5 things I believe kill momentum and derail progress when your'e establishing healthy habits and how to avoid them entirely.
I hope you find it helpful!
Blessings,
Robin

Hey Friend,
This week is an extremely important week as it is Holy Week. Yesterday was Palm Sunday and each day this week leads up to Good Friday, Holy Saturday, and eventually, Resurrection Day - or Easter as many of us know it to be.
What happened 2,000+ years ago in Jerusalem on a cross and 3 days later in a grave makes all the difference in what's available to you and your health. Whether you're struggling to overcome cravings, feeling hopeless with your weight, lacking energy to function, or just downright discouraged for what your future will hold for your health... today's episode is for you.
It's short, but I hope you'll find it FULL of truth and hope for your health journey.
Blessings,
Robin

Hey Friend,
Today's episode is a PRIME example of how we can pair our healthy physical habits with spiritual ones.
My hope and intention for you today is that by the end of this episode you can't wait for the next moment to get outside and go for a walk with Jesus.
We are getting into the nitty gritty detailed benefits of walking - like seriously, you have no idea how good walking is for you, YET. AND I'm offering you a friendly reminder of the access we have to Jesus at any given time and how walking can actually help keep you more focused in your time with Him.
Get those running shoes ready!
Blessings,
Robin

Hey Friend,
For a few episodes now, I've been referring back to episode 13 where I talk about Leviticus 11 and the old testament food laws. Well, here it is again with a few minor adjustments.
There's just something about taking a misunderstood, seemingly boring passage and revealing the insight and wisdom it holds. I think you'll be surprised how much you learn about food labels from Old testament law!
Contrary to popular belief, God's law isn't just a bunch of inapplicable rituals from way back when. They hold so much for us today, and I'm excited for you to hear it!
In case you're not as big of a Bible nerd as me, don't fret, I've got you too.
If you've ever wondered about eating organic or whether or not "all natural" means something is healthy, I'll be diving into all of that.
In short, I'm giving you the top things I look for when I'm reading food labels. I'll also let you know what I personally avoid along with what I prefer to see.
Most importantly, I offer a framework that helps fight against the "good"/"bad" food approach that often overwhelms and leaves us feeling discouraged and shamed.
The best part? I've got a free guide that has all the details spelled out for you!
Access that and more in the show notes below.
Be blessed with hope, joy, and health!
-Robin

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!

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!
If you've wondered how there is such an increase in chronic disease, weird ailments, infertility, miscarriage, cancer, and even unexplained health complications, today's episode may help shed some light.
Just to give a bit of a warning, this episode might be unsettling and maybe even a bit overwhelming, but my intention is to bring education, hope, and simple next steps so you can begin to reduce your toxic load.
So take a deep breath... of clean air, and let's get to it!
PEACE & Hope,
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!
