77. Healthy Hormones Series | How to Improve Fertility Naturally and in Partnership With God With Tori Black

Hey Friend!
We are continuing with the healthy hormones series today to address a VERY important aspect of hormones and that is - fertility.
 
According to the World Health Organization, 1 in 6 people are affected by infertility worldwide.
 
It's estimated that 48.5 million couples experience infertility globally.
 
9% of men and 10% of women aged 15-44 reported fertility issues in the United States
 
9 of 10 counties with the highest total fertility rate are in Africa followed by Afghanistan.
 
Southern Europe, Eastern Europe, and Eastern Asia have the lowest fertility rates in the world with an average of 1.5 children per woman.
 
I know we've got a few listeners in Sweden, you'll have to tell me what you all are doing there because you have one of the highest fertility rates in all of Europe.
 
I found it interesting, as today's guest will touch on, that 60% of infertle individuals reported having higher levels of anxiety and depression
 
41% of infertile women have depression
 
87% of infertile women have anxiety
 
Growing your family is a big deal and a major desire for many.
My mom had 3 miscarriages, one before me, one after, and one after my sister. Hearing her story and those of many others has really left a mark on my heart.
 
I also know first hand that the journey of trying to conceive can come with many emotions. It can be a very emotionally draining, discouraging, and even painful journey.
 
My hope is that after today's episode you would feel seen, be encouraged, and find hope for what's possible for your health and In growing your family.
 
Blessings & Hope,
Robin

75. Healthy Hormones Series | How to Balance Hormones Through Nutrition With Cynthia Damaskos

Hey Friend!
Today I am kicking off a hormone series where I'll be bringing on different experts who specialize in different areas of hormones as it relates to women's health.
 
I have had many questions and inquiries about hormone health from how to improve fertility, how to have a better period, and how to navigate the pre-mid-and post menopausal time.
 
Over the next 6 weeks, I will be covering those very topics.
 
If you aren't already, be sure to hop in my free Facebook group where you can ask questions and I can get you answers from the guests I bring on.
 
Today we are starting off by looking at hormones, how they work in our bodies, and how WHAT WE EAT impacts them, really trying to set the stage for the episodes to come.
 
I LOVED this conversation. Today's guest is my kindred spirit in passion for health and partnering with God. I am confident you'll get value from it!
 
Be blessed!
-Robin

74. Holy & Hungry | the Power of Practicing Gratitude for Your Health & 1 Year Anniversary Celebration!

Hey Friend!
I got so excited a couple weeks ago when I realized that today's episode would land EXACTLY one year from when I FIRST launched this podcast.
 
I cannot believe it's already been a whole year!!
 
I thought the MOST applicable topic we could do for today's Holy and Hungry segment is GRATITUDE, because man, I am SOOOooo grateful for this journey.
 
If you're new, this Holy and Hungry segment is a midweek episode that serves as a short health devotional for you where you can bring your hunger to the table and be filled with what God has for your health.
 
I started it a few months ago and it's become one of my favorite parts of running this podcast.
 
Today will be a bit different and bit longer than usual because I am doing a SPECIAL giveaway as part of the 1 year anniversary -see the notes below - AND I'm going to take some time to give God GLORY and praise for all He'd done in this show the last year.
 
This episode wraps up with a look at the power of practicing gratitude for your psychological, physical, and social well being. What we know biblically about gratitude has been affirmed scientifically. Stick to the end to hear how gratitude can impact your life!
 
Be blessed!

72. Holy & Hungry | Eating & Drinking the Body & Blood of Jesus - The Implications of Holy Communion for Healthy Living

Hey Friend,
These mid week episodes are all about bringing our hunger to the table to be filled with what God has for our health.
And today, we are REALLY talking about what it means to be FILLED with God because we are talking about the sacrament of Holy Communion or Eucharist as some of you may know it.
 
For today's topic, the phrase "You are what you eat" is applicable and particularly powerful.
 
Whether communion is something you value greatly or a church practice you've never quite understood, I trust you'll get something out of this.
 
Stick with me to the end, because as we consider the meaning of Holy Communion, I'm giving you 3 implications for HEALTHY LIVING and how you can further connect with God in your health journey.
 
Be blessed!

71. Feeling Overwhelmed and Discouraged? Discover Hope for Healthy Weight Loss With Heather Palermo & Tatiana Urbina

Hey Friend,
Today's episode is EXTRA special because I am talking with two of my clients who have SO much hope and encouragement to offer you.
 
If you're someone who has experienced unexpected weight gain whether from a stressful time, a medication, or from the season of early motherhood, you'll particularly resonate with the stories of these two ladies.
 
But more importantly, if you're someone who is feeling discouraged, this episode is for you.
 
Maybe you're ready to throw in the towel and you've found this episode by looking for SOME kind of support for Christian women on how to lose weight in a healthy way. If that's you, you're in the right spot.
 
Because the stories my clients have to share are so many of your stories as well.
 
Juggling ministry and kids, going to school and navigating mental health challenges... these gals were not without hurdles to creating a healthy lifestyle.
 
And yet, they've surprised even themselves on where they're at after just 6 weeks.
 
If losing weight in a HEALTHY way feels impossible...
If you are nearly ready to throw in the towel...
 
I encourage you to take a deep breath and prepare yourself to get inspired!
