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,
Today's talk is inspired by Valentine's Day last week some thoughts I've had on how to offer some encouragement in areas you might be feeling defeated in your health journey.
So if you ate too many chocolates last weekend or emotional eating got the best of you, today's a new day and this is your chance to reset and move forward in step with God.
Be blessed!
Robin

Hey friend!
Welcome back to the Holy & Hungry segment of the Vision Driven Health podcast.
Every other week I do a more biblically focused episode that is 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.
Today I'm walking you through Psalm 103 and the encouragement that exists there for partnering with God in our health.
If you've found yourself feeling unmotivated, discouraged, or confused on how to make progress in your health, I think you'll find today's episode particularly helpful.
I hope it blesses you!

Hey Friend!
If you didn't grow up in a home with home cooked meals, of if you're like me, they were technically home cooked but they weren't necessarily of the healthy variety.
Or perhaps you feel with all that you've got going on there's just NO WAY you could consistently cook your meals.
Or maybe you're just someone who doesn't view cooking as their thing.
Well, today my intention is to inspire you to befriend the kitchen and discover the benefit of simple healthy recipes you can make a part of your daily and weekly routine.
I hope it does just that!
Blessings & Joy,
Robin

Hey Friend,
If you're someone who feels like you're at the end of your rope when it comes to your health...
Maybe you started the new year with resolutions and hopes of making some changes and they've already fallen through.
Maybe you are just worn down by trying doctor after doctor, diet after diet, and you need some encouragement for how to move forward in your health journey.
Looking at the situation the Israelites were in in Judges 6, you may find you've got some things in common with them as well as good reason to have hope for your circumstance!
I hope it blesses you!

Hey Friend,
Now is the time when cutting carbs, going gluten free, getting rid of dairy, going carnivore, doing the Daniel fast, and all the other kick start diets are usually in full force.
I love that my church kicks off each new year with a 3 week fast. It's up to the individual on what they feel led to fast, and naturally, certain kinds of food fasting gets picked.
Which, honestly, I think is great. It's biblical and God calls us to it.
And I'll say right here at the start - eliminating certain foods has its biological benefits in addition to the spiritual. And depending on how you do it or what you're taking out, there can be drawbacks.
The biggest issue that I see is how people transition from those kinds of plans, diets, and fasts.
Today I'm covering how different elimination diets affect you, how to do them well, and how to transition off of them to take advantage of them to the fullest for continued health and well being.
I will be using the elimination of sugar and going carnivore as specific examples at the end!
Whether you're doing an elimination diet or not, I'm confident you'll find important and helpful concepts for your health journey.
Enjoy!
Robin

Hey Friend!
If you are in need of some inspiration for making heathy choices today, this episode is going to shed some serious light on the power of PERSPECTIVE.
When we are grounded in what's ACTUALLY true, we enable ourselves to stay the course hand in hand with God.
Listen in and I'll show you what I mean...
Peace & Joy,
Robin

Hey Friend!
A true new year's topic, cliche or not, people are wanting to focus on getting healthy and losing weight after the holidays. So I'm bringing back the main portion of episode 42 on how to do that with macros.
If you're someone who has seen and heard about macros but have felt intimidated and confused on how to figure them out for yourself, this episode is going to help.
OR i f you're someone who has struggled with counting calories and macros, not because you didn't know how to do it, but because it messed with your head - you're not alone, and I speak to my own experience with this and how I've found a healthy way to approach macros that gets results without the unhealthy mental dynamics.
I hope it blesses you!
Hope & Joy,
Robin

Hey Friend,
There can be so much STRESS that comes with the holidays. It's not always warm and fuzzy and festive. There's often anxiety, increased depression and loneliness, and grief that rises during this season.
If you are asking for a Biblical perspective on mental health. If you want encouragement in how to find help and support from God for your mental health struggles, you're not alone.
This season is a time to press all the more into God and to take hold of what this whole season is actually about - Jesus.
What I hope you walk away with after listening today is encouragement, hope, and a renewed perspective on the POWER of the gifts God has given us through the ultimate gift of Jesus, His son.
Hope & Peace,
Robin
