• Do you end up feeling confused every time new dietary guidelines are released?
• Wondering whether government nutrition advice actually aligns with how God designed the body?
• Are you trying to honour God with your health but feeling stuck between science, Scripture, and food fear?

In episode 25, we take a discerning, faith-filled look at the Dietary American Guidelines 2026 and ask an important question Christians rarely pause to consider: Are these recommendations moving us closer to — or further from — biblical metabolic health wisdom?

I break down what the guidelines get right, where they still fall short metabolically, and how believers can apply them wisely without guilt, legalism, or confusion. We explore protein, carbohydrates, fasting, metabolic dysfunction, and stewardship — all through the lens of Scripture, sound nutrition science, and real-life application — so you can make confident, God-honouring food decisions that actually support your health.

Do you wake up already tired — and feel hungry again just an hour or two after breakfast?

Do you rely on coffee, cereal, toast, or smoothies to ‘get you going’, only to crash mid-morning?

Have you ever wondered whether the way you eat breakfast could actually support (or sabotage) your energy, metabolism, and Christian walk?

In this episode of Health in Faith, I’m unpacking why breakfast matters far more than most Christians realise — and why a high protein breakfast is one of the simplest, most God-designed ways to move from sugar crashes to real, sustainable strength.

We’ll look at how God designed your metabolism to work in the morning, why blood sugar stability matters for focus, mood, and self-control, and how modern ‘breakfast foods’ often work against your body rather than with it. I’ll also take you to a beautiful moment in Scripture where Jesus Himself cooks breakfast for His disciples — and why that moment is deeply relevant to how we nourish our bodies today.

If you’re a Christian woman who wants better energy, fewer cravings, improved metabolic health, and a calmer, more focused start to the day — without dieting extremes — this episode will give you practical wisdom you can apply immediately.

• Are you wondering if counting calories feels too ‘mechanical’ or unspiritual?
• Unsure if tracking your food is legalistic or faith-driven?
• Struggling to lose weight despite your best efforts and looking for a practical, God-honouring approach?

In episode 23, I’m sharing how Christians can approach weight loss through a calorie deficit in a faith-centred way, so you can honour God while achieving real results. We’ll dive into why calories are part of the laws of thermodynamics and God’s design, why tracking can be a wise tool (just like learning to drive a car or count steps in dance), and how counting calories and macros can help you understand your body — at least at the beginning of your weight loss journey. By the end, you’ll know how to integrate structure and freedom, stewardship and science, to lose weight without guilt or legalism.

Are you tired of starting each year with spiritual goals but feeling physically drained by February? Do you sense God calling you to greater discipline, clarity, and obedience — but your energy just isn’t there? What if improving your metabolic health in 2026 could actually strengthen your faith, focus, and fruitfulness?

In this episode, I’m sharing why 2026 is the year Christians must take metabolic health seriously, not for vanity or diet culture — but for stewardship, obedience, and impact.

We’ll explore what metabolic health really is, how poor metabolic function quietly undermines energy, mood, self-control, and spiritual discipline, and why many believers are trying to live Spirit-led lives in bodies that are chronically inflamed, insulin-resistant, and exhausted.

I’ll also explain how improving metabolic health supports prayer, fasting, productivity, emotional resilience, and joy — and why caring for your metabolism is not a distraction from your faith, but a way of honouring God with the body He entrusted to you.

This episode is for you and all Christians who want 2026 to look different — with more energy to serve, clearer thinking to discern God’s voice, and greater freedom from food struggles that quietly steal peace and purpose.

Do you feel like your metabolism is slowing down no matter how “healthy” you eat?Are you constantly hungry, snacking between meals, or relying on coffee to keep your energy up?Have you been told to eat less and move more — yet your body feels more resistant than ever?

In this episode, I’m sharing five simple, science-backed ways to improve your metabolic rate and restore metabolic flexibility — so you can experience steadier energy, fewer cravings, and greater freedom around food without extremes or burnout.

We’ll talk about why constant snacking actually slows your metabolism, how gentle intermittent fasting can restore insulin sensitivity, why walking at the right times matters more than intense workouts, and how dietary fats and lower-carb eating support God’s design for energy balance. I’ll also clarify where keto can be a helpful tool — and where it doesn’t need to be permanent.

This episode is especially for Christian women who feel stuck in their bodies and want a faith-aligned, sustainable approach to metabolic health rooted in wisdom, stewardship, and simplicity.

Do you feel tired between meals, reliant on snacks or coffee just to get through the day? Do you struggle with cravings, mood swings, or low energy and quietly wonder why self-control feels so hard? Have you ever considered that your physical energy levels might be impacting your patience, focus, and spiritual stamina?

In this episode, I’m sharing what metabolic flexibility really is and why it matters far beyond weight loss — so you can reclaim steady energy, reduce food obsession, and walk out your Christian life with greater clarity, endurance, and peace.

Metabolic flexibility is your body’s God-designed ability to switch between burning sugar and fat for fuel. When this system is impaired, it can lead to constant hunger, emotional eating, fatigue, and mental fog — all of which quietly affect how we show up in prayer, service, and obedience. Today we explore how faith and science beautifully align, why this isn’t a discipline issue, and how restoring your metabolism can support true freedom in both body and spirit.
