We discuss: Her personal path to quitting diet culture and embracing an intuitive eating journey The fear that accompanied transitioning to intuitive eating Rejecting the diet mentality Where to start with intuitive eating The se...

I don’t know if you got the memo on this, but parenting is tricky. And hard. And particularly difficult as it relates to our children and their body size. If you’ve been with me for any amount of time you know I’m a big believer in taking care of our body so we can do what we are called to do, not so it will look a certain way. But there are times we witness our children’s body size changing and are not sure what to do about it. Because I don’t feel I’m qualified to answer this, I brought in li...

After a 176 episodes of the Graced Health podcast, I thought it might be worth formally identifying the values of this podcast and sharing them with you. These values are something I’ve discovered as I’ve stumbled through this podcasting experience rather than identified from the beginning. But once I wrote them down, I realized I go back to them when making decisions about content or opportunities beyond that. I invite you to learn more and listen in. When you're done, if these sound appealin...

Sometimes God puts just the right person in your life at just the right time. I have several friends who fit into this category, including my friend Camisha Broussard.

Camisha is a mother to four great boys, a wife to a great Ironman, a professor for the greatest community college in Houston, and she’s working on being a great writer and...

Brittany is a Registered Dietitian and recovery coach who helps women struggling with disordered eating and negative body image reduce their anxiety and disordered behaviors so that they ca...

I’ve been very open about my body image struggles in the past, and truthfully still dip into that every now and then. The more I’ve learned about health, though, the more convinced I am that one of the reasons for my own and other’s body image struggles is the miseducation about what healthy really is. It’s something I addressed in my new book, Your Worthy Body that comes out in November, but I feel like I only scratched the surface. That’s why I’m delighted to have Dr. Lisa Folden on the show ...

About two years ago I realized that just like I needed to change my workouts as I got older, I needed to change how I ate.

What I really love his her gentle approach to the fasting and the integration of it and her relationship with the Lord. Her book, Faith & Fasting con...
