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!
"Eating clean" means so many different things depending on who you talk to. It matters what is ACTUALLY healthy and what will support your body in creating the health you want, whether that's losing weight, reducing inflammation, improving bloodwork, or increasing your energy.
My desire is that every body that comprises the Body of Christ be healthy and well, unhindered by disease SO THAT they can live out their God given callings.
In today's episode, I clarify what it means to eat healthy and offer you what I believe to be the foundational basics of clean eating.
I also address the dark side of clean eating, particularly when you get into the all or nothing mentality. I touch a bit on orthorexia and offer some biblical truths for you to stand on.
I hope this episode supports you in your goals for 2024!
Blessings & Health,
Robin

Hi Friend!
I have a power packed episode for you today. I'm getting deep into the importance of consuming enough protein and how that affects your weight loss journey, and more specifically your metabolism.
I share several days worth of meal ideas from the protein guide I've been using with my clients along with how I get over 150g of protein in a day.
Consuming enough protein in your diet is a game changer! I'm excited for you to listen in.
Blessings & Health,
Robin

Hey Friend!
I am REALLY excited for you to listen to today's episode. I believe this episode shines light on one of the BIGGEST pieces missing from your weight loss journey. I know from my own experience that trying to do things out of my own strength and not in partnership with Jesus has left me feeling defeated and discouraged.
Today I pray that you find hope for your health. That you end up with greater clarity on your worth, your value, and what it looks like to create endless motivation for healthy habits through God's vision and grace for you.
This is the FIRST step of 6 I will be covering over the next few weeks about how to lose weight the healthy way, as covered in my new course, The Healthy Weight Loss Academy.
Be blessed!

Hey Friend!
Thanks for celebrating with me today!!
I'm super excited to get to share with you some of the big life lessons that have shaped me thus far. In this episode, I share what God has shown me and how He's provided throughout my life. I also share health tips, particularly the primary ones I stand by, like cooking at home, eating enough protein, and lifting weights.
AND, as another layer of celebration, I am doing a big birthday giveaway! Everyone who opts in by writing a review and posting the screen shot of that review (make sure to screen shot before you submit!) in my free Facebook group will get an entry for the giveaway!
Additionally, because I'm turning 33, I am offering 33% off of the Healthy Weight Loss Academy until December 4th at midnight. That is also the day I'll announce the winners for the other two gifts!
It's a great episode today and I'm grateful for 33 years of life.
Enjoy!!
Blessings & Joy,
Robin

Hey Friend!
This episode is the second part of my conversation with my good friend Sasha Star Robertson. If you liked the first half, you're going to love the second.
In this next part we go a bit deeper in talking through our own lives and what it looks like to truly prioritize what matters most. Sasha gives such great wisdom and insight, and I KNOW you'll find value.
A little bit more about Sasha:
Sasha Star Robertson is an Intentional Living & Biblical Mindset Coach for busy Christian moms, wife of 14 years to her best friend, boy mom x2 (blessed by adoption), travel addict, and Jesus freak. She is the founder of The Intentional Abundance Co., curator of the Life & Goals Planner, host of the Intentional MomLife with Jesus Podcast & co-host of the Faithful Family Fortress Podcast. Sasha is passionate about the call in Isaiah 61:1-2 and believes that God called her to set mothers free from the stress, overwhelm, and burden associated with modern day motherhood and instead help them live in the freedom of Christ through Biblical mindset & balanced schedules.
I think you'll really enjoy this episode and be eager to hear the second part as well!
