Nutrition for Christian Women | Meal Planning, Healthy Recipes, Simple Food Strategies

Do you struggle to stay consistent with eating healthy? Confused by conflicting ideas about what to eat for your fitness goals? Overwhelmed by where to start? 😇 Well sis...I am thrilled you’re here! This podcast will help you get clarity about what’s right for YOU so you can 1. eat with confidence 2. without it taking so much brain power 3. to feel healthy for the long-term ...all backed by Biblical principles. In case we haven’t met yet, I’m Chelsea - a Nutritionist, former Miss Iowa, retired opera singer, and total Jesus gal. For nearly a decade I tried to get the body I desired with overcomplicated diet plans, restrictive calorie & macro tracking, and supplement programs that robbed me of my time, money, and mental peace with food. 🙌 Once I finally realized that God did not design food to be a burden, I started investigating how to eat the way He intended. Then the dark clouds parted, healthy eating became simple, I now feel FREEDOM with food, and finally have peace in a body I sincerely love. If you’re ready to have the whole “what to eat” thing figured out, with Biblical wisdom at the center of it all, and lock-in a healthy lifestyle (not just a quick fix)...this podcast is for you! 📓 Go find that cute notebook you’ve been hanging on to, and let’s dive in!

"So...what do YOU eat, Chelsea?" "Are you allowed to eat that on your diet?" "Doesn't the Bible say you can only have vegetables and water?"

^^I get asked variations of these questions quite often. Bible-based nutrition is a niche topic, so I'm not surprised!

In this episode, I'm explaining exactly how I approach food & meals as a Biblical Nutritionist who wants to maximize: ✅ health ✅ simplicity ✅ consistency ✅ confidence

I don't know about you, but I *despise* meal prepping that takes an entire day... I mean, my day off should be for relaxing! Not for slaving away in the kitchen.

😰 However, NOT prepping meals for the busy work week is a recipe for convenience food and impulsive choices, which we both know aren't serving our bigger health and body goals.

In today's episode, I'm giving you 3 of my favorite go-to meal prep ideas that have saved me so...

Where are my fellow sweet-tooth people at?!

🍪 I am a bonafide pastry and baked goods gal, so if eating healthy meant completely giving up all desserts and sweet treats...I probably wouldn't do it to be totally honest!

That's why coming up with strategies to "have your cake and eat it too" has been one of my favorite parts of coaching nutrition.

So, if you're like me and you crave a little treat after a meal, or can't stand the tho...

Did you know that God takes gluttony way more seriously than simply "don't eat too much"?

😰 Yeah, me neither! In fact, the more I learned, the more compelled I felt to write my book, "The Guide to Eating Biblically in a Modern World." 

Not only does God have a lot to say about it in Scripture, but the enemy looooves to use it against us, causing sin.

Tune in so you don't fall into the same trap I did for so many years...

Did you know that the Bible talks about feasting allllll over the place?

Not only is it a good thing, but God encourages us to feast!
