Eating Well is An Act of Stewardship
Did you know that healthy eating is both a spiritual & physical act of stewardship?

The Bible reminds us to practice moderation, gratitude & recognize that food is a gift from God. “So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” - 1 Corinthians 10:31

Yes, even what you eat!

So often, we're taught to change our eating habits simply to look better. To lose weight, fit into smaller clothes or achieve a certain physique.

I get it! It's easy to begin seeing your body as a project that needs to be fixed or perfected.

But here's the problem. When health is only about appearance, it either isn't a strong enough motivator to create lasting change or it can turn into obsession. And obsession with appearance can quickly become an idol.

Shame about your body is NOT from God! That's straight from the enemy!

God didn't create you to spend your life criticizing your body, obsessing over the number on the scale or comparing yourself to everyone else. He created you for a PURPOSE!

So what if we shifted our mindset?

Your body is a sacred vessel God has entrusted to you. When you nourish it well, you honor Him.

Healthy eating then becomes so much more than following a diet or trying to change your appearance. It becomes an act of worship!

It's about aligning your daily choices with God's design rather than the world's standards.

It's recognizing that the foods you choose can help nourish your body, support your energy, strengthen your health & better equip you to serve others.

That doesn't mean eating perfectly! It means being intentional about nourishing your body with real, nutrient-dense foods, getting adequate protein, eating plenty of vegetables & giving your body the nutrients it needs to function well.

It means practicing moderation, enjoying food with gratitude & developing a healthier relationship with eating.

It's about caring for your body, not punishing it!

When your health is rooted in Him, your perspective begins to change. You stop chasing the approval of others. You stop allowing the scale to determine your worth. You begin making choices from a place of gratitude, intention & purpose. You recognize that His opinion is the only one that truly matters!

I really want you to remember that you don't need to look a certain way to be worthy of God's love or to fulfill the purpose He's placed on your life. Your worth was never determined by your weight, clothing size or appearance.

But the body He's entrusted to you is worth caring for!

When you begin viewing nutrition through the lens of stewardship, healthy eating becomes less about restriction & more about nourishment. Less about appearance & more about purpose. Less about what the world thinks & more about honoring God.

The ultimate goal isn't simply to LOOK better. It's to FEEL well physically, mentally, emotionally & spiritually so you can live fully & do the Kingdom work He's called you to do!

That's one of the reasons I created The Weight Loss & Wellness Club.

I believe that true health encompasses so much more than what we eat or how much we exercise. Our physical, mental, emotional & spiritual health are all interconnected, which is why Spiritual Health is one of my 8 Pillars of Health!

Inside The Weight Loss & Wellness Club, I'll help you understand how to nourish your body, support your hormones, manage stress, improve sleep & build sustainable habits that support your overall well-being.

You'll have access to step-by-step lessons, practical tools, twice-monthly LIVE Q&A calls with me & a supportive private Facebook community where you can ask questions, receive encouragement & connect with others on a similar journey.

Information alone doesn't create change. IMPLEMENTING what you learn does!

My heart is to walk alongside you as you learn to care for the body God has entrusted to you, not simply so you can lose weight, but so you can feel well physically, mentally, emotionally & spiritually.

Your health matters for so much more than the number on the scale. It matters for how you live, how you love, how you serve & how you fulfill the purpose God has placed on your life!

If you're ready to approach your health differently, build a stronger foundation & begin making meaningful changes that last, I'd love to welcome you!

MEET JEN

 
Hello! Thank you popping by! I’m Jen. I'm a wife, a furmama to two gorgeous dogs, a Naturopath, Nutritionist, and an advocate for natural ways to support physical and emotional wellbeing. Oh, and I’m a CEO! 

My journey originally started in Psychology. You see, when I was 16 my father took his own life after suffering years of a debilitating gambling addiction. I did a Bachelor’s in Psych as I wanted to understand why he made the choices that he did. I also wanted to ensure that I never went down that path and also help those suffering as he did. I loved it so much I went on to do a Masters.

It was during that time I got sick. I’m talking woke up one morning and couldn’t get out of bed, sick. For many years I felt helpless and frustrated!

Let me back up for a second. Prior to this life consisted of pain and fatigue. I had digestive issues and IBS from childhood. Through my teens and early 20's I was getting 2-3 migraines a month around my cycle and headaches more than half the month. My periods we very painful – I had to miss work or school the first 1-2 days. I would literally lie on the floor or the bed curled in the foetal position and cry from the pain. I could easily talk a full packet of Ibuprofen and still not get much relief.

Then, at 26, my period stopped altogether and things went downhill fast! For the first time in my life I was feeling apathetic and overwhelmed. Over the course of the next two years I was diagnosed with a host of conditions – are you ready for the laundry list? The first diagnosis was PCOS. I was told that I was infertile, that I would never have children, and that IVF wasn’t an option for me. I was also told that I was pre-diabetic, that my liver was worse than an alcoholic’s (and I don’t drink), that I had migraine disorder, vertigo, and adrenal fatigue. The cherry on the cake was a diagnosis of Hashimoto’s at 28.

I was in complete and utter shock. I couldn’t fathom that a 28-year-old Personal Trainer, who looked fit and healthy on the outside, could be in such disarray on the inside.  

Over the two years I saw five doctors and a Naturopath and nothing improved.

And then one day a friend and I got in touch. She told me to change my diet and take specific supplements. I figured I had nothing to lose, and so I did! I went onto a low-carb diet and was taking upward of 30-40 pills a day…and guess what?! Three months later my period started!! How incredible is that?!

Over the next two years all of my health ailments rectified! Well, all except my Hashi’s – more on that in a minute. My cycles became clockwork, they were manageable, the migraines and vertigo disappeared and my liver and blood sugar levels returned to the normal range! How exciting is that?! The best part, I can now have children should I choose! Having that option is incredible!

Of course I was so excited and inspired that I had to go to school and study Nutritional Medicine and Naturopathy.

Now, let’s talk about my Hashi’s. That only went into remission when my toxic load was decreased. That was a lightbulb moment for me and the moment I got fired up to share with others the importance of leading a low-tox life. I love educating people where toxins are found, what impact they have on physical and emotional wellbeing, and what products to replace them with to support your wellbeing. 

I sincerely believe that many of my health issues would not have presented if I were living a low-tox life. My Hashi’s has been in remission since I was 31 and I am so proud to say that! Praise God!

Life is so different to what it was 10 years ago. I have the energy and the mental capacity to engage in life! I am present and am thriving. Oh, and I laugh! I actually laugh out loud, something that eluded me for many years.

I am happy and healthy and it is my mission to help YOU be the happy, healthy person you are meant to be!
I would love for you to join our exclusive community and learn how you too can find freedom from physical and emotional barriers. I look forward to seeing you there!
