You Don't Need to Look Better for God
You don't need to look better for God, but you DO need to steward the body He's given you well!

I want to encourage you to HONOR GOD WITH YOUR HEALTH.

When you truly honor God, you seek to honor Him in every area of your life, including the way you care for your body, mind & spirit.

Romans 12:1 reminds us to present our bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is our spiritual worship.

Caring for your health isn't about vanity. It's an act of WORSHIP! It's gratitude for Jesus' sacrifice & reverence for the life God has entrusted to you.

God isn't concerned with whether you have a six-pack, a certain dress size or the perfect physique. Your appearance doesn't determine your worth, and your health isn't a measure of how much God loves you.

However, He does care about how we steward what He's given us. 1 Corinthians 6:19 reminds us that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit.
Think about that for a moment!

Your body deserves care, nourishment, movement, rest & healthy boundaries. Not because it needs to look a certain way, but because it's a gift God has entrusted to you.

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

We live in a world that places so much emphasis on outward appearance. The number on the scale, the size of our clothes or whether we fit society's definition of healthy. But Biblical stewardship is about something much deeper.

It's about surrendering ALL areas of your life to God, including how you eat, rest, work, move, recover & manage stress.

It's recognizing that your physical, mental, emotional & spiritual health are interconnected, and each deserves attention.

When we consistently neglect our health, push ourselves into burnout or continue habits that aren't serving us, it can affect our energy, resilience & ability to show up for the people God has placed in our lives.

Of course, caring for ourselves doesn't guarantee perfect health. Illness, injury & difficult seasons can happen even when we're making wonderful choices. But we CAN choose to be intentional about caring for what God has entrusted to us.

We can nourish our bodies well, build physical strength, prioritize restorative sleep, establish healthy boundaries & make time to connect with God. Not because we have to earn His approval, but because we GET to honor Him through the way we live!

I believe our health matters for something much bigger than ourselves.

When we're healthier physically, mentally, emotionally & spiritually, we're often better equipped to love others, serve our families, use the gifts God has given us & do the Kingdom work He's called us to do. THAT is the bigger WHY behind caring for your health!

So rather than focusing solely on weight loss or appearance, ask yourself: Am I caring for my body in a way that honors God & supports the purpose He's given me?

Remember, you don't need to look better for God. You simply need to approach the body He's entrusted to you with gratitude, intention & a willingness to steward it well.

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!
