How to Embrace Gentle Nutrition and Self-Control with Joy
Do you want to integrate nutrition into your life in a Christ-honoring way? I’d guess most people would say yes. Unfortunately, if you’re like me, pursuing nutrition can sometimes get tangled up with perfection, obsession, or shame. Or has this ever happened to you: You scroll through your feed on your phone and before you know it, ten different health gurus have tried to teach you ten contradictory health messages.
“Count your macros!” “Eat whatever you want!” “Eat only these super veggies!”
AHHHHH! No wonder we sometimes want to throw our hands up and walk away from nutrit altogether!
If you can relate to any of this, be sure and check out episode 42 of the Joyful Health Show podcast, where Kasey Shuler chats with Amanda Reynolds about how freedom with food and nutrition can walk hand in hand in health and wellness. They explore how to let go of strict health rules while aligning gentle, nutritious eating with the teachings of Christ.
Amanda shares her latest revelations from her intuitive eating journey in which God is teaching her more about self-control and gentle nutrition. Their conversation touches on the role of prayer in making health decisions and how to find peace amidst overwhelming health information.
Stick around to the end as Amanda prays for joy, peace, and hope in surrendering to God's guidance.
