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!
When you want to lose weight, is your first inclination to cut out certain foods altogether?
To start eating significantly less to the point where you're always hungry?
Maybe you feel like you're already eating so little and eating pretty clean, but you aren't seeing the scale move.
In any of those cases, I imagine you also want to know WHAT to eat in order to get results.
I'm unpacking all of that today along with an example of what I eat in on an average day.
I hope you find this helpful and practical in your weight loss journey!
Be blessed,
Robin

Hey Friend,
By chance have your healthy habits been subject to whether or not the scale says a certain number?
You know, where you decide you're just going to have whatever you want for dinner and dessert because the scale went up after your indulgent lunch?
Or when you decide to do an extra 30 minutes on the treadmill because you ate a ton and gained 3lbs in one day?
I know I've been there! And I share a bit about that part of my story in today's episode
But most importantly, I let you know what you can expect when it comes to weight fluctuations and what it looks like to have a healthy relationship with the scale.
I hope this episode inspires you and provides you a path to a healthy, lasting future!
Blessings & Joy,
Robin

Hey friend!
Welcome back to the Holy & Hungry segment of the Vision Driven Health podcast.
This mid week episode is 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 couldn't help but do an episode on theme with tomorrow's holiday. For those of us in the US, tomorrow we celebrate Independence Day.
This is a MAJOR holiday for us where I personally feel very grateful for the country that I live in.
I know I have a lot of international listeners, and I am SOOO grateful you are here, because for ALL of us, no matter where we are in the world, as followers of Jesus, we have access to TRUE freedom and victory.
And today I want to talk about how we take hold of that to create a FREEDOM based approach to weight loss and healthy living.
I hope it inspires you!

Hey friend!
Does cooking sound less than appealing? Maybe you've tried it and after buying numerous random ingredients you only ended up using for the one recipe, the meal you had hoped would be delicious and beautiful like your pinterest pin - ended up being a disappointment.
Or maybe whenever you've tried healthy cooking it just feels boring and unexciting.
You may also just feel that despite knowing good meals to make, you aren't interested in all the time and effort required to cook healthy meals.
In today's episode, I'm going to give you my top TIME saving tips for cooking HEALTHY meals.
I hope you find it valuable!

Hey Friend,
I think we've all been in a place where we're super excited to try something new, even knowing that it'd be a challenge... only to then realize that it's much less fun than we imagined and much more difficult than we had originally anticipated.
That's when the motivation fades and the habits we were trying to implement along with it
I'm all for using motivation to get going, but in today's episode I'm talking about what it looks like to stay the course regardless of whether you feel like it.
We have incredible examples and tangible support from God Himself to live this out.
Listen to the end to hear the 3 keys to making this your reality.
Be blessed!

Hey Friend!
We are wrapping up the Healthy Hormones Series with a SOLID episode on what to expect when you're going through menopause.
My guest today does a very thorough job of explaining the different stages of menopause, what can be expected as normal, what requires more support, and she also provides the specific lifestyle habits you need to address in order to stay healthy through the process.
If you've wondered why you're having trouble sleeping, gaining weight even though you haven't changed what you're doing, or why you are struggling to remember things more than usual - this episode clarifies what's going on in your body to cause these symptoms.
It's longer than my usual, but I think you'll find the content engaging and super helpful.
Blessings & Joy,
Robin

Hey Friend!
When you hear the word discipline and food in the same sentence do you feel shame? Do you feel like perseverance is not even a consideration when it comes to your health?
Do you feel discouraged and stifled in being able to stay the course when things get challenging?
Today we are looking at the example of Jesus and what we can glean from Him as well as what we have access to IN Him to be able to be disciplined in our lifestyle choices.
Be blessed!
