1. Stop Hiding, Start Livin’: God Called Me to Create a New Kind of Space for Metabolic Health for Christian Women Wanting More Than Just Weight Loss
New Christian Metabolic Health Podcast – MetaboLivin’
Wait, you’re saying I could invite the Lord into my weight loss journey?
What would that even look like to bring Jesus into all areas of my metabolic lifestyle? Learn how to bring Him into your nutrition, movement, sleep, stress, GLP-1 medications, continuous glucose monitoring, and more.
Time to tune in! To your body, blood sugar, the Lord…and this podcast!
YOU CAN LISTEN ON:
For most of my life, my metabolic health felt like a battle I couldn’t win.
No matter how clean I ate, how much I worked out, or how many supplements or programs I tried.
And no one really believed me except for those who did life up close with me day in and day out.
Maybe you know that feeling too…discouraged, exhausted, and just wanting your body to cooperate so you can show up for the life God called you to live!
Because if you’ve ever…
- Felt misunderstood by the conventional healthcare system
- Tried “all the things” and yet still didn’t feel well or lose the weight
- Worried you may develop insulin resistance, pre-diabetes, or diabetes down the road due to a strong family history
- Felt overwhelmed or intimidated by the unrealistic standards of wellness culture, functional medicine, integrative medicine, holistic health, or crunchy living
- Cried in dressing rooms or your closet because you didn’t recognize your body
- Felt God nudge you toward healing + purpose, but couldn’t get started because of burnout and body shame
- Wondered, “Why can’t my body just work like everyone else’s?” or “Why does it take me 10 times harder to just maintain?”
- Needed a healthcare professional and advocate who felt like a bestie and a coach rather than a stranger in a white coat
…then you are my people!!!!
My Christian Metabolic Health Testimony
This space wasn’t born from perfection. It was born from years of wrestling on my own mat (Healing at the Pool of Bethesda, John 5:1–15, check out this sermon), researching, praying, trial-and-error, and deep identity work with the Lord.
I didn’t just study metabolic health, I lived it and persevered through the struggle. I was my first client and didn’t even realize it at the time. And by God’s grace, I’m walking in a very different chapter now!
Not because my body is perfect.
Not because I bulldozed my way to results.
But because I surrendered it all to the Holy Spirit with real science-backed strategies and sustainable rhythms beyond just nutrition and movement.
Why Your Metabolism Isn’t “Just Calories In, Calories Out”
Metabolic health is not just math. It’s:
- Blood sugar + insulin sensitivity
- Nervous system regulation
- Hormones + inflammation
- Sleep, stress, rest…and more!
And now I get to help other women experience that same freedom, clarity, and hope for long-lasting change as I shepherd (serve as their metabolic health coach) them through the highs and lows of their blood sugar (by using a continuous glucose monitor, also known as CGMs) and life! Ultimately, pointing them to the Good Shepherd so they can fully step into the calling He has placed on their life!
If you’re here for:
- Restrictive dieting
- “Skinny-Tok” or “Hot Girl Summer” goals
- Shame-based wellness
- Misuse of Ozempic
…then this probably isn’t your corner of the internet! But of course, you’re still welcome.
A Biblical Approach to Metabolic Health
But if you’re here to…
- Bring Jesus into your metabolic health and weight loss journey (without the new-age)
- Steward your metabolic health biblically with intentional, grace-based rhythms, not deprivation or shame
- Take care of your body as a form of worshipping the Lord instead of worshipping your body like new age wellness promotes
- Transform your head knowledge about metabolic health to heart knowledge
- Understand how your blood sugar, nervous system, and hormones are all connected
- Use tools like continuous glucose monitors (CGMs), professional-grade supplements & GLP-1s (like Ozempic, Wegovy, semaglutide, Mounjaro, Zepbound tirzepatide) properly and prayerfully, helping you find the blend of crunchy and conventional care that works best for you
- Advocate for your best outcomes by teaching you how to communicate with your healthcare team and what to ask for; not here to replace them just come alongside them and enhance their effectiveness
- Discover how nutrition, movement, sleep, and stress all impact YOUR SPECIFIC blood sugar and metabolic health using wearable devices, like CGMs and other biometric data from your smart rings and watches
- Become more “in tune” with your body, blood sugar, and the Lord
- Stop hiding due to body shame and striving for weight loss
- Start LIVIN’ in the overflow of renewed energy, confidence, and calling!
…then sister, welcome home! This Holy Spirit-led community was prayerfully built just for you. I am so hyped that you are here!
