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 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!
Robin

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.

Hey Friend!
We are continuing the conversation with Christa and Kristi in this episode. We get further into the physical benefits that they each saw in their bodies as a result of prioritizing their health and partnering with God.
Both of them have been out of the program now for several months. They each share what their current lifestyle looks like and how they continue to maintain healthy habits through a Vision Driven approach.
If you've found yourself resisting exercise and intentional movement, you'll likely resonate with Kristi's journey.
Or if you've struggled with your menstrual cycle, having acne, painful cramps, or challenging emotional dynamics, you'll be encouraged to hear the way Christa was able to reverse these symptoms.
Both ladies give insight into what it takes and what it looks like to get results that LAST. At the end of the day, that's the whole point. We want to know what does it take and if I put forth all the effort, WILL IT LAST.
My hope is that through their stories, you will be filled with HOPE for what's possible in your health in partnership with God!
Blessings & Joy!
Robin

Hey Friend!
If you are someone who has tried so many things in the past to lose weight and get healthy that you are afraid of trying another thing for fear that it will end up being another failed attempt, and you're just BARELY hanging on to your last thread of hope to find something that works, you're in good company.
Today I have two very special guests. These ladies are some of my FAVORITE clients. They felt EXACTLY that way before they joined the Sustainable Health Transformation program.
I've got a mom of 4 who works a full time job over seeing numerous employees and a mom of 2 running a dairy farm with her husband who both found themselves discouraged, tired, and way off track from where they ever wanted to be in their healthy habits.
In this conversation you'll get to hear from them where they started, what shifted for them, and how after 2.5 years they're still living a healthy lifestyle.

Hey Friend!
If you're over the "easy" meals with dozens of ingredients you don't have that end up taking you triple the amount of time it says it will, this episode is for you!!
It can be so overwhelming to figure what to eat. I understand the struggle of trying to find healthy recipes and dinners that are simple, good for your body, and ACTUALLY taste good.
In this episode I share my journey about how I went from being a super picky kid to crushing it as a healthy meal prepping wife and now how I manage to put together quick, easy, healthy, and delicious dinners as a mom of two little guys.
Hit play to hear my top 3 tips!
Blessings, health, & Joy,
Robin
