The Christian Health Club Podcast

I'm a nutritionist. And I eat bread, potatoes, chocolate chip cookies, and even Christmas crack. ON PURPOSE. 😂 There was a time when I thought being a good nutritionist meant being really good at avoiding certain foods. But after years of teaching women about nutrition, I've realized that we don't need another diet teaching us how to eat perfectly for 30 days. We need to learn how to eat well for the rest of our lives. In this episode, I'm talking about why carbohydrates aren't the enemy, why...

In this episode Matthew Gay, founder of FIT Church United, talks about why caring for our bodies isn’t separate from our faith - it’s part of how we steward the life God has given us. We talk about why health is so often overlooked in the Church, what it looks like to lead by example (even when you don’t have it all figured out), and how caring for your body can better equip you to live fully into your calling. We also tackle the other side of the conversation: what happens when health ...

From Kingdom Breaths, singing and connec...

In this episode, Dr. Tim Jennings, psychiatrist and author of The God-Shaped Brain, explains how our beliefs about God influence the way we think, feel, respond to stress and experience our faith. We unpack why so many Christians carry an underlying fear of God, how seeing Him as angry or punitive can keep us operating from fear and survival, and what happens when we replace those beliefs with truth, love and trust. We also tackle some BIG questions: Have we misunderstood the God of the...

What happens when you begin to wonder if your breast implants are affecting your health - and then start wrestling with what it would mean to remove them? In this episode, I’m joined by three Christian Health Practitioners, Robbye Edwards, Janna Sanders and Catelyn Gale, who each made the decision to explant after years of living with breast implants. We talk candidly about why they got implants in the first place, what eventually led them to have them removed, the fears and body-image strugg...
