I don’t know about you, but the other thing I am inspired to do in the New Year, aside from kicking off health goals, is fill in my new planner. I have a whole new time management strategy this year based on a framework I learned from a life coach plus the inspiration of a book called Stewarding Life. I’m talking all about it in this week’s podcast.

If we’re not intentional about the way we use our time, we’ll stay on the treadmill of life as it flies past us. We want to be creators of the life we want to live, not bystanders watching it pass us by!

Have you ever been in the middle of eating all the “bad” things, feeling disgusting in your body, shaming yourself in your mind as you’re stuffing your face with food, but, as you’re doing it, you’re thinking about the new diet you swear you’re about to start and you get a high, euphoric feeling about how skinny and fabulous you’re going to be?

The binge almost feels justified in the moment because the “righteousness” of the upcoming diet kind of cancels out what you’re doing. But by the time D-Day (diet day) rolls around, whatever magic plan you were dreaming of as you were stuffing your face doesn’t turn out to be so magic after all and, before you know it, you’re right back in the same situation - overeating, swearing it off, and dreaming of your NEW magical shiny diet - the one that’s really going to work this time.

This has happened to me plenty of times and it wasn’t until I understood the concept of dopamine that I realized how we can get “addicted” to the high of planning new diets.

The problem is, this can lead to “shiny diet syndrome” where we hop from one diet to another but never hit our stride with what works.

Before you consider the next diet you’re going to do, listen to this week’s podcast. You’ve got to retrain your squirrel brain if you want to find your long-term health success.

One of the biggest gifts you can give yourself is peace with food. That’s where it all comes together for me - peace with the Lord, peace with food.

After years of avoiding bread, feeling guilty about sugar, being fat-phobic and then carb-phobic, I’ve finally settled into a way of eating minus the mind drama.

It’s what I feel led to teach despite the popular diet trends or what other people may be teaching.

In this week’s podcast, I’m sharing the story of my evolution with bread - both the flour kind and the Jesus kind. At one time I avoided both and, now, I feast on them! I hope explaining the steps I’ve taken over the years to improve my approach helps you to love and eat bread with no mind drama.

If you want to experience the way I bring together God and food, sign up for Feast 2 Fast® which starts January 4th.

In this week’s podcast we’re talking about two of my favorite things: God and wine!

I interviewed the author of The Soul of Wine who says “wine can help us uncork a more full-bodied Christian spirituality.”

She reminds us that God blesses us with the fruits of the earth. She reminds us that Jesus enjoyed wine, food and dinner parties so much that his fellow Jews accused him of being a glutton and a drunkard! She reminds us that drinking wine is part of the way we honor and celebrate Jesus as our Savior.

It’s everything I love and savor about honoring our bodies and the Creator of our bodies. You’ll never look at wine in the same way after you experience it with this beautiful perspective.

Have you ever seen homeopathic remedies at your pharmacy or grocery store and bought them because they seem more natural and crunchy? Yeah, me too.

I’ve bought homeopathic remedies from brands like Hyland’s and Boiron to tackle cold or flu symptoms for my family, but I can’t say I’ve really looked into the mechanisms of how they work or why they may be a better option. I’ve always been interested to learn more so in this week’s podcast we’re learning together!

My guest is Lori Satterwhite, FNTP, who uses homeopathy as a tool in her private nutrition practice and with her own family. She shares how homeopathy helped her daughter overcome multiple years of strep throat (and helped prevent a tonsillectomy) and also helped save her son’s cracked tooth from being removed. She gives practical tips (like a homeopathic alternative to gatorade) and interesting insight into the use of these more natural remedies.

🚨 Nerd alert! This week’s a doozie.

You don’t see a lot of pastors weighing in on food but this one has seen it come between too many relationships to leave it unaddressed. In fact, he wrote an entire book about the unscriptural approach to food and how Christians often let food dogma and righteousness rule over a heart for relationship.

This was particularly edifying for me as a health professional but also as a mom trying to balance health and sanity when it comes to family food choices. Pastor Doug talks about “boutique allergies,” Phood Pharisees, and the most important thing to have at the dinner table.

Listen in for a very interesting and refocusing Christian perspective on food and how to eat.
