107. 5 Healthy Habits to Implement NOW to Lose 15 Lbs Before New Years

Hey Friend,
I want to make this as clear and practical as possible today.
 
I'll start by saying some of you, maybe most of you, aren't super impressed with the idea of only losing 15 pounds between now and New Years.
 
Most people want faster results. I get it.
 
But if you know me, you know how hard it was for me to even name an episode like that where I'm suggesting a certain amount of weight that you can lose.
 
But here's why I did it...
 
I want to make HEALTHY weight loss the predominant approach to weight loss.
 
I want people to be educated and informed on what a healthy amount of weight to lost is in a week or month.
 
I want people to opt for SUSTAINABLE approaches to weight loss that enable them to lose the weight and KEEP it off for YEARS and decades to come and see their health improve as time goes on.
 
If that's the kind of weight loss you're interested in and you DO want to lose 15 pounds before the end of the year, keep listening and I'll tell you exactly what to do!
 
Blessings & Joy,
Robin

106. Holy & Hungry | the Spiritual Battle for Your Health & 3 Ways to Protect Your Health as You Grow Older

Hey Friend!
Welcome back to the Holy & Hungry segment of the Vision Driven Health podcast.
 
These episodes will now be every other week and are meant to be a health devotional for you where you can bring your hunger to the table and be filled with what God has for your health.
 
If you're a regular listener, you may have been looking for this episode last Wednesday, as that is usually when I release the Holy and Hungry episodes.
 
For the foreseeable future, I will be doing one episode a week.
 
This year I am starting to homeschool my oldest for Kindergarten. We started a couple of weeks ago, and it's been really great. I am also just so much more aware of how much more intentional I want to be in my time with him and my younger son.
 
In addition to producing this podcast, running the Healthy Weight Loss Academy, and serving 1-1 clients, Ryan and I are fairly involved at church.
 
At the start of 2024, I said I wanted to figure out how to slow down, and truth be told, I don't think I've done anything that has made significant progress in that direction.
 
SO, something I think I can lay down at this time is doing two episodes a week and going to only 1. My hope is that I will be able to maintain, if not increase, the quality of each episode while continue my efforts to slow down.
 
This is actually very related to today's topic, because I really believe a BIG part of the battle for our health has to do with how stressed and busy we allow ourselves to become.
 
I'm getting deep into the spiritual battle against our time, our health, and our ability to LIVE OUT GOD'S CALLING ON our lives. We must not allow ourselves to get distracted!
 
Get your pencil ready because I'm leaving you with some practicals to safeguard your health and stay the path to what God is doing through you in this world!
 
Blessings & Joy,
Robin

103. Ditch Dieting and Find Fulfillment in Fitness Through Christ With Zach Lloyd

Hey Friend!
Do you wonder what should be different about health, weight loss, or exercise for you as a follower of Jesus?
 
Have you found yourself in a pattern of dieting and restriction that leaves you feeling discouraged about whether you'll ever hit your health goals?
 
Do you appreciate a solid conversation with vulnerability about hard times and how God shows up?
 
WELL, today's conversation covers all of that and more. I've got a special guest today who I think you will thoroughly enjoy hearing from both from a practical standpoint, but also in getting to hear an encouraging testimony of God's goodness in his life.

He's been coaching for over a decade building skill sets in every area associated with physical and mental fitness. He is driven to help others find meaning and fulfillment in suffering through fitness.

102. Holy & Hungry | Inspiration to Become an Influencer and Create Healthy Habits

Hey Friend!
If you are listening today and you haven't ever considered yourself an influencer, by the end of this, you might change your mind.
 
In today's day and age, an influencer is usually thought of as someone who has a lot of followers on social media.
 
But biblically speaking, we are all called to be influencers. Jesus talks about being the salt of the earth and the light of the world.
 
What I don't think we realize is that our HEALTH plays a big part in this, particularly in how we give glory to God.
 
We're taking a quick dive into what it means to give God glory through your health habits and how that lends to your calling and influence.
 
I hope it inspires you!
Blessings & Joy,
Robin
