What if Someone Imitated Your Lifestyle?
I have a question for you...

If someone were to imitate your lifestyle, where would their health be?

How would they look & feel physically, mentally, emotionally & spiritually? Would they be stronger, more peaceful, more active & more joyful? Or would they be worn down, anxious, not sleeping well, sedentary & disconnected from God?

If that thought brings a little conviction, that's okay! The Holy Spirit convicts. Satan condemns.

Conviction is an invitation to grow. It's an opportunity to reflect on where you may need to make changes to better honor God with your health.

When you truly honor God, you honor Him in every part of your life, including how you care for your body, mind & spirit.

1 Corinthians 6:19-20 says, “Don't you realize that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, for God bought you at a high price.”

Let that sink in.

Your body is a gift entrusted to you by God. It houses the Holy Spirit, and caring for it is an important part of faithful stewardship.

A temple is God's holy dwelling place. A place of worship. That means the choices you make about how you nourish your body, move it, rest it & care for your mental, emotional & spiritual health can all become acts of worship.

God isn't asking you to achieve a certain appearance. He's asking you to be faithful with what He's entrusted to you!

This isn't about looks, vanity or having a perfect physique. It's about caring for the incredible gift you've been given so you can better serve Him & fulfill the purpose He has for your life.

Consider the opportunities you have each day to honor Him through your health.

Can you walk? Then walk in gratitude for the ability to move.

Can you exercise? Then build strength so you can serve others well.

Can you cook? Then prepare nourishing meals that support the body He's given you.

Can you make time for rest? Then prioritize it instead of glorifying busyness & exhaustion.

Can you spend time in His Word? Then make your spiritual health as much of a priority as your physical health.

These don't have to be enormous changes. Small, consistent choices made with intention can have a profound impact over time.

Don't allow habits that are within your ability to change to keep you from caring for yourself well.

Of course, good stewardship doesn't guarantee perfect health. Illness, disability & circumstances beyond our control can affect what we're able to do. What matters is being faithful with the abilities, resources & opportunities God has given us.

The good news is that today can be your turning point! Not because you need to lose weight, have a six-pack or look a certain way, but because you recognize that your health is worth investing in.

Your body was never made to BE worshiped. It was made TO worship!

This is one of the reasons I added Spiritual Health as a pillar inside The Weight Loss & Wellness Club. I believe our physical, mental, emotional & spiritual health are deeply connected. When we learn to care for each of these areas intentionally, we're better equipped to show up for our loved ones, serve others & do the Kingdom work God has called us to do.

Inside The Weight Loss & Wellness Club, I walk alongside you as we address the foundations of health, including nutrition, exercise, sleep, stress management, gut health, hormone health, low-tox living & spiritual health. You'll also receive practical resources, twice-monthly live Q&A calls with me & the encouragement of a supportive community.

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!
