117. How to Enjoy Your Favorite Holiday Foods Without Gaining Weight

Hey Friend,
Today's episode needs to happen because #1 I LOVE food. and #2 I REALLY LOVE holiday food. I have varied in my approach to healthy eating over the years and one thing has stayed the same - I do not skimp on my holiday meals, PARTICULARLY Thanksgiving.
 
My birthday is always the week of Thanksgiving, sometimes it falls on Thanksgiving, so I feel that adds to the special place that Thanksgiving has in my heart.It's a FEAST of gratitude for all that means so much to me and the life God has given me.
 
However, I also know that with these more indulgent meals and foods comes what can feel like inevitable weight gain.
 
Today I am going to give reveal what common holiday eating habits CAUSE weight gain as well as provide some simple and effective tips to NOT gain weight while still enjoying your favorite holiday foods.
 
I've seen these tips help my clients, and I'm confident, if applied, they can help you too!
 
Blessings,
Robin

116. Holy & Hungry | How to Rely on God to Be Consistent and Overcome Emotional Eating - Insights From Daniel 1

Hey Friend,
Have you ever felt like everything you know was just stripped away?
Maybe a big shift in your life took place, an unexpected circumstance or challenge came up, and any and all routine or efforts you had for healthy habits got totally derailed.
 
You feel like time and time again you muster the motivation to try to be consistent with your health and SOMETHING always seems to get you off track

113. The Top Mistake I See With Nutrition. How Blood Sugar Levels Affect Weight Loss And Chronic Disease

Hey Friend,
If you're someone who genuinely wants to create health in your body and you want to make healthy choices, and maybe you feel like you're already MAKING healthy choices, but you're still struggling with weight loss, or you're still dealing with fatigue, maybe your blood work isn't where you'd expect it to be...
 
It's possible that THIS simple mistake is playing a big part in it all. And that mistake is... poor blood sugar regulation.
 
I see this SO often with clients and non-clients. I think a BIG reason why it's so common is because there are a LOT of "healthy" foods that people eat on a regular basis that are consistent blood sugar raisers. (Also known as high glycemic foods)
 
In today's episode I'm going to explain why balancing your blood sugar matters and how what you eat plays directly into it
 
I'll also give some tips on how you can begin to EASILY regulate your blood sugar today!
 
Be blessed and enjoy!
Robin

112. Holy & Hungry | How to Use Grace to Break Unhealthy Habits and End Vicious Cycles

Hey Friend,
Back in June I released an episode, episode 82 if you want to listen, where I included a recording from a training I did a few years ago on your identity in Christ and how that relates to your health.
 
I have another clip for you today from a series I did on Grace and how GRACE is crucial for creating a healthy lifestyle that lasts.
 
In today's clip I define what an unhealthy vicious cycle looks like and take you into your thought process and provide insight into how you can BREAK those unhealthy patterns and begin to form healthy habits that last!
 
Please forgive any weird audio or background noise, this was a raw live recording. I'll give some shout outs in the middle of it for the gals who were there during it, and it's just a little less polished.
 
But hopefully you'll appreciate it and find the content valuable.
 
With that said, be blessed!
- Robin

110. Holy & Hungry | What Is God’s Role in Our Health? A Look at Key Bible Verses for Health and Food

Hey Friend,
Ever wonder what God's role in our health is supposed to look like?
 
What do we see in the Bible that gives insight into HOW we can partner with God and better understand His part in our physical well being?
 
What does this look like, PRACTICALLY?
 
Today we're taking a look at a few Bible passages that, I believe, provide greater insight into God's perspective of health, His interest in our well being, and how you can partner with Him in your wellness journey.
 
Be blessed!
