Hey Friend!

What if I told you that there is one focus you can hone in on to lose weight, reduce inflammation, increase energy, and improve your mood? You'd want to know, right?

Well, blood sugar regulation happens to be that thing, and THAT is what we get into in this episode's conversation with Lindsay Young.

Lindsay is the QUEEN of blood sugar. Her ability to explain the scientific effects of blood sugar on our bodies in a way that is easy to understand is amazing. Not to mention, she specializing in simplifying the steps you can take to create blood sugar regulation through your own healthy habits.

Blessings, Joy, & Health,

Robin

Hi Friend!

This past weekend Ryan and I went on our 2nd annual Vision Marriage Retreat, and I had a lot of certain foods that many might consider "bad" or in the category of "cheat" or "treat" foods.

I have zero guilt or shame about it, and I can tell you that I didn't fit them in my macros or anything like that. Honestly, I consider what I ate a part of my intended, sustainable healthy lifestyle.

While I was intentional with my portions, there is more to my approach than moderation. In this episode, I poke holes at the idea of cheat meals and treat meals while providing some super helpful tips for making Vision Driven healthy choices from a Biblical, Jesus-centered perspective.

If you've found yourself trying to eat "everything in moderation", only to be at the bottom of a chip bag, you never meant to finish, this episode is for you!

 

Blessings, Joy, & Health,

Robin

Hi friend!

Did you know that you are called AND equipped to lead by example in your health choices? If you have struggled to juggle caring for your own health while trying to raise healthy children, you're not alone and this episode is for you!

My guest today, Chase Williams, shares her story of how becoming a mom ignited a passion in her for setting an example of health for her kids. She also gives insight into the power that comes from prioritizing her time with Jesus to fuel her healthy habits.

As you listen, I know you'll be blessed by Chase's joy, energy, and passion for supporting mamas in living a healthy lifestyle that lasts.

 

Blessings & Health,

Robin

Hi friend!

If you feel like you're always trying to get back on track, beating yourself up for "messing up again", or generally discouraged by your lack of consistency with healthy habits, THIS episode will be a a GAME CHANGER.

As a follower of Jesus, you have access to the infinite grace of God. We don't have to struggle as though we are on this journey alone.

It's a matter of having a growth mindset and taking hold of all that Jesus paid for.

I'm excited for you to listen to this one!

Blessings & Health, 

Robin

Hey Friend! Today's episode is a talk I gave last week in my Greens & Grace 5 Day Challenge. It's on one of my CORE pillars in the Sustainable Health Transformation program. What DOES it mean to be Vision Driven? It's the premise behind the title of this podcast, and I am SO excited for you to tune in and begin to catch sight of what is possible for your healthy habits when you are driven by the vision God has given your for your life. In case you missed the Greens and Grace Challenge and want to take hold of the opportunity to kickstart your health journey with simple habits in partnership with Jesus, I created a PDF guide with all of the trainings and steps outlined for you to do on your own or with a friend!   I hope this episode blesses you and gives you hope for what's possible for your health! Blessings, Joy, & Health,

Robin

Hey friend!

I am SUPER excited to bring you my very first guest, my dear friend, Carlie Harford. She is someone who inspires me in my walk with Jesus. She is a woman of FAITH who is expectant to hear God's voice and direction in her life. Her favorite thing to do is spend time with God.

I'm bringing her on for two main reasons:

One, even though I'll be getting into the nitty gritty of nutrition, healthy habits, and how to implement them, this podcast is about doings so in partnership with God. Partnering with God requires that we are led by Him.

Two, Carlie has some AMAZING testimonies about how God spoke to her about specific health issues that brought her healing, health, and freedom from cravings for the choices that didn't serve her overall well being.

She's a perfect example of what it looks like to be VISION DRIVEN in her health.

In this episode, we dive into:

• How God speaks to us
• What it can look like to receive direction from God for your health
• The goodness of God
• How to begin to hear from God for your health

I can't wait for you to listen!

Scripture on hearing God through dreams:

Genesis 15:1

Genesis 41:1-7

2 Samuel 3:2-15

1 Kings 3:4-15

Daniel 2:19, 28

Amos 7:1-9

Matthew 2:12

Matthew 2:13

Matthew 27:19

Acts 18:9

Hey friend!

If you find yourself discouraged by recent blood work and feeling as though you're bound to experience the diseases of your family members... Or  if you have bought into the idea that it's inevitable that our health declines significantly after a certain age - this episode is for you!

I get into my passion on this one to convey the HOPE that exists in changing your lifestyle in partnership with Jesus to create a better and HEALTHY future.

I leave you with two big takeaways that I believe make all the difference when it comes to making choices for continued health and healing.

 

Listen and be encouraged!

Hi friend!

In this VERY first episode, I thought I'd talk about starting out. It's so easy to fall into the trap of TALKING about doing something, but then not actually doing it. I know I've done that a ton of times. It's almost as if talking about it feels like you're doing it. Unfortunately, that's not the case!

As someone who originally wanted to start and launch a podcast in 2019 and who is JUST NOW doing it, I felt it was a fitting way to dive into this new endeavor in supporting YOU with creating healthy habits that LAST.

I hope this show blesses you and gets you inspired and going on your health journey!!

I’ve kept those 20lbs off, I’ve continued to stay fit, and I am STILL cooking healthy meals for myself and family.   I can tell you right now that is all by the GRACE of God.   In this podcast, you will get to hear from myself and the guests I bring on about how to:

Hey Friend!

Do you feel stuck in a vicious cycle of wanting to create healthy habits to increase your energy and strength but feeling too tired and weak willed to make it happen?   Do you find yourself swinging between trying really hard to eat healthy and exercise and giving up altogether?   The all or nothing mentality is real and it can make it so difficult to create progress, let alone a healthy lifestyle!   Today we are taking a cue from Paul in the New Testament.   Let's hear how a commonly used Bible verse, with context, provides an insight many have missed for how to create energy and strength.   I hope this blesses you!

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.   Today's topic can get pretty heated for some folks. I think those who are most passionate on either side are those who care most about what is right and what is best for our bodies.   I would definitely put myself in the category who cares deeply about what is honoring and pleasing to God AND I am very interested in what is most healthy for our bodies.   We'll be delving into a few commands given by God in Genesis along with some other theological concepts to wrestle with the question - should Christians eat meat?   I hope you find it valuable!

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 *** Listen to Episode 09 on Blood Sugar  Listen to Episode 40 on Getting in enough Protein ***

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!

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 ***

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! -Robin

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! Robin

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 ***

Are you struggling to lose weight? Do you feel like your body is revolting against you? Are you over 40 and feel like your hormones are all out of wack?   If that describes you, THIS is the part of the healthy hormones series you've been waiting for. Today's episode and the one airing next week are both focused on perimenopause and menopausal symptoms and how to navigate that season of your health.   In this conversation we look at the SIMPLE things you can do to begin to prepare for perimenopause and walk through it gracefully.   I am not at that stage in my womanhood yet, but you best believe I am taking NOTES.   Whether you're in the thick of per-menopause or see it on the distant horizon, today's guest brings wisdom and insight you don't want to miss!   Blessings & Joy, Robin   ***

Hey Friend,

Do you feel you need help with how to PRACTICALLY make healthy choices day in and day out? Do you find yourself giving in to temptation and cravings? Are you frustrated with yourself?

I wanted to give you a little bit of a different experience today. This is a training from a challenge that I did a few years ago on how your identity in Christ can be the filter by which you view yourself, your health, and your choices. 

This is a build off of last week's Holy and Hungry episode (#80). You'll notice a few of the same phrases and mentions. But what I thought would be most valuable to you today is that I offer a lot of practical ways to implement this concept.

I hope you find it valuable! 

Email me and tell me what you think! (visiondrivenhealth@gmail.com)

Blessings & Joy,

Robin

Hey Friend!

We are in the middle of a 6 week healthy hormones series. We started off by talking about hormones and nutrition in episode 75. We then learned about how to improve fertility naturally in episode 77, and last week we talked about how to have a healthy happy period.   We will be getting into what a healthy lifestyle looks like after 40 along with some detailed support on the peri mid and post menopausal journey. So stay tuned for that!   Today we are getting into the week BEFORE your period. The dreaded PMS portion of our cycle.   If you find yourself super moody, irritable, or anxious leading up to your period today's episode will provide hope and some practical habits you can implement to improve your experience the week before your period.   Be encouraged! Robin   **** Lauren Collins is a registered nurse, wellness coach, life coach, follower of Jesus, and mama who helps women struggling with anxiety, overwhelm and the emotional rollercoaster that comes in the week leading up to their period. After struggling with the emotional roller coaster of PMS for over a decade, she felt like she was constantly failing in her relationships with family, friends and God, and didn't know how to care for herself. When she started implementing whole body wellness, being an active participant in her own health and gaining awareness of her own cycle and body, she started to see a shift. Now she teaches women how to do the same thing through holistic, faith-based and whole body wellness, so they can also find the "medicine" that keeps their body well, their mind clear and their identity in God strong.  She shares most of her wisdom and insight on the PMS Made Peaceful podcast. She lives with her husband and almost 1 year old daughter in the Rocky Mountains of Canada, and enjoys coffee, anything lavender and being outside as much as possible.   Listen to the PMS Made Peaceful Podcast here.   Join her Premenstrual Anxiety Solutions Facebook group here.   Listen to the episode mentioned in our conversation on the parallels of Jesus' journey and our cycle here. *** Learn how to eat healthy, enjoyable meals simply and consistently.

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 ***

Join the next cohort of the Healthy Weight Loss Academy starting NEXT Monday, September 4th!

This week is your last chance to join the cohort that will set you up with the PERFECT timing to head into the holidays equipped, and established in your healthy habits

Do you struggle with painful periods that take you out of the game?   Do you expect heavy flows, pain relievers, and overall discomfort to be your experience when you're on your period?   Are you curious whether or not your menstrual cycle is normal?   We are getting into all of that today - blood, cramps... all of it and HOW to actually have, as my guest describes it, a HAPPY period.   I know, for some of you that sounds ridiculous.   BUT today's guest is another fertility specialist who hones in on the cues given during our menstrual cycle for better understanding fertility and overall hormonal health.   I learned a lot in this interview and I think you will too!   Be blessed! -Robin *** Bekah Yawn has worked with dozens of women and couples nationwide to empower them in their fertility health.

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 *** Tori Black is an RN and Fertility Coach specializing in holistic fertility support.

If you've ever wondered if it really is okay to focus on your physical health... or if you have always considered spiritual well being to be more important than physical, this episode gives insight you may not have come across before.   We'll be looking at the Greco-Roman perspective and the context surrounding Paul's writing along with the important takeaways of Paul's message as it relates to creating a healthy lifestyle in partnership with God.   I hope this episode encourages you and give you hope for now and decades to come!   Be blessed!

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 *** Connect with Cynthia Damaskos: For health coaching, go to www.holisticchristianlife.com.   Or, reach out to Cynthia at cynthia@holisticchristianlife.com to get a menu of services for private coaching or information on her upcoming group program.    For the Back to Basics course and all other Filled With Less opportunities, go to www.filledwithless.com.   Enter code FWL for a 5% discount at checkout.   Listen to the Holistic Christian Life Podcast.   Listen to the Filled with Less Podcast. *** Learn how to eat healthy, enjoyable meals simply and consistently.

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! Robin

Hey Friend!

Are you curious about whether or not you're experiencing the symptoms of a slow metabolism? Maybe you’ve started to notice that it's more difficult to lose weight? This is a commonly believed indicator of a slower metabolism, but I will be highlighting a few that aren't always identified.   With each indicator I'll explain how a slower metabolism is related to it and how you can make changes to improve your metabolism, avoid or reverse metabolic syndrome, and ultimately, have the vitality to do what God has called you to do!   I hope it gives you the insight you need to transform your health!   Blessings & Joy, Robin

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! Robin

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!   <3 Robin ***

Do you feel like its taking FOREVER to see improvement in your blood work?   Have you found yourself on the same cycle over and over and you're beginning to wonder if it's worth continuing to try?   In today's episode, I want to show you how giving energy to hoping in God and waiting on Him can actually provide the greatest return of anything you've tried.   I also share some really personal challenges I've faced in the last couple of years and how waiting on God, despite the outcome, has brought me closer to Him and has truly revived my strength.   I hope it blesses you! -Robin

Hey Friend!

Have you ever considered the implications of the thousands of people Jesus healed?

Have you struggled to have faith for your own health and well being?

Do you wonder if God cares about your physical health?

Today's whole episode is a bit more off the cuff. I share a bit of where my passion comes from for doing this and why I believe Jesus ministry tells us a lot about physical well being and the importance it has.

I hope it blesses you!

Robin

Hey Friend! Have you ever wondered what a healthy amount of weight is to lose each week?   Or perhaps what a healthy way to lose weight is?   Maybe you find yourself late for events because you’ve changed outfits 5 times because nothing fits and you’re uncomfortable in our own skin.   Maybe you lack confidence in your appearance.   Maybe you feel sluggish and over feeling sick and tired.   And when you’re feeling that way, a weight loss solution that promises to be easy and quick sounds very appealing.   Throw in the social proof from friends who've done it and have already lost 20, 30 pounds and it's easy to consider joining the bandwagon.   In today's episode I am giving you specific criteria to look at to asses whether you are on a HEALTHY weight loss journey - or not.   And we're going to do it using a biblical principle that I think you'll find helpful for nearly any area of your life, given the right criteria.   I hope it blesses you! Robin

Hey Friend!

Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 10 to eat or drink for the glory of God and he also says that everything is lawful.   Does that mean we can eat anything and everything? Is this the biblical version of being anti-diet?   Today I'm taking a look at 1 Corinthians 10 and what Paul was really getting at and how we can take His advice and wisdom and apply it to our own health journey. Be blessed! Robin
