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,
In today's episode, I'm really laying it out. It is so important for us as followers of Jesus to live a healthy lifestyle. You are called to incredible things. God is working through you. And health doesn't need to be a hindrance.
I'm going through a bit of a rough time, and I've got to say, having my health has been a game changer for being able to navigate this. I've been stepping up my time in Scripture and in prayer and making sure to still prioritize my healthy habits. I will take ALL the energy and support I can get.
I want you to be able to live the life and calling God has for you without being bogged down by fatigue, chronic disease, inflammation and the like.
His peace and grace are available or your health as well.
I'm excited for you to listen in!
Health & Faith,
Robin

Hey Friend!
We are wrapping up the confidence series with this conversation with my friend, Spenser. She is passionate about pursuing health from a holistic standpoint.
If you are someone who has found yourself on in the vicious cycle of dieting, restriction, discouragement, and shame - this episode is for you!
We talk through the common pitfalls many of us fall into when it comes to getting healthy and provide helpful questions to ask yourself to ensure you don't fall for them moving forward.
More about Spenser:
Spenser has been in the sports medicine industry for 11 years. Four and a half years ago her health was declining and she decided to action. The doctors only wanted to prescribe medicine instead of looking for the root cause of the issue. Spenser decided to take matters into her own hands and went to a holistic doctor. That doctor was able to help her change her life. It was then that Spenser knew this was her calling and went back to school to become a holistic nutrition consultant.

Hey Friend,
We are continuing with the theme of having confidence in your body and who you are. Today's episode is taking it to the next level. If you've ever wondered how to feel good in your own skin when you don't like the way you look or how to be kind to yourself when you're so used to speaking negatively about your body - this episode is for you!
I'm dropping a truth most people don't want to hear along with an exercise that I have my clients do that helps them to partner with God in viewing their body with a totally different perspective.
I've also got an exciting announcement that has some time sensitive information for THIS week.
Be blessed!
Robin

Hey Friend!
We are digging into some serious Scripture today! If you have found this episode because you are feeling insecure about your appearance and you want some biblical, Spirit filled perspective - you are in the right place.
Romans 10:17 says that faith comes by hearing and by hearing the word of God.
My prayer for you as you listen is that your faith would increase and that your heart would be filled with hope and confidence in your body because of your confidence in who you are in Christ.
Be blessed!

Hey friend!
Do you struggle with having confidence in your body? Does your mind flood with mean negative thoughts when you look at yourself in the mirror?
If so, know you're not alone. I think body confidence is something every woman struggles with at some point, if not continuously. To the point where I don't even know if we identify it as a problem.
It's just how many of us think. I see memes on social media joking about feeling ugly or fat.
I hear women make jokes about breaking the scale or messing something up to poke fun at their own weight. Making it seem like it's something they don't care about when really it is a constant pain point.
As follower of Jesus, daughters of the King, we get to view our bodies differently - no matter how they look.
To kick things off, in this episode, I'm going to offer insight on how to have confidence in your body when you haven't hit that goal weight and despite putting in work, you still don't look how you feel you should look to make those negative thoughts stop.
I hope it blesses you!
Blessings & Joy,
Robin

Hey Friend,
If you are overwhelmed, on the verge of burnout, and are frustrated with your repeated cycle of stress eating - this episode is for you.
I imagine if you're like me, the title isn't that appealing to you. I tend to think things like, "Rest? No. That's not what the problem is. I just need to figure out how to do this better."
My guest today drops some important wisdom for all of us, and whether we choose to take to heart can have a major impact on our physical well being.
