Simply to Thrive

In this episode, I have an announcement for some restructuring of the podcast.

Since this is the first episode of 2019 I wanted to share with you some of my reflections on 2018, what I’m looking forward to in 2019, and just some of my thoughts I’ve had over the past week of the new year.

It's getting close to the new year, which means people start to think about setting new goals and changing behavior regarding their physical health. In this episode, I talk about effective strategies to make sustainable, long-term behavior change that becomes part of your lifestyle.

In episode 8, I’m addressing some of your nutrition/wellness questions. Specifically, I respond to your questions about canola oil, tips for staying healthy while traveling, and whether or not to take a probiotic supplement for immune health. I finish up the episode by talking about mindset during the Christmas season.

When thinking about caring for our bodies, the food we eat, our lifestyle choices, maybe it’s a small part of what it means to be set apart. Of not mirroring the world and the world’s ways, but influencing it and setting the example. Let's think through it.

Do the food and lifestyle products we spend the money that God has entrusted on matter? In episode 6, we chat about it - looking at what and how much money America overall spends on food, healthcare, etc. and if we should care as the Body of Christ with what we support.

In today’s episode I’m addressing some of your nutrition/wellness/lifestyle questions. Specifically, I cover four main topics: whether or not soy is health; how to support the immune system (think getting into cold/flu season); healthy sweeteners; and the best exercise for health.

Does our physical health have any impact on our effectiveness in carrying out the Great Commission and purpose as a follower of Christ to further the Kingdom? In episode 4, I connect our lifestyle choices and how we care for our bodies to this greater purpose.

Our bodies are not our to do with whatever we please. In this episode we’re continuing to build the foundation regarding why nutrition, wellness, physical health are important as a follower of Christ by looking at this in light of being the temple of Holy Spirit.

In episode 2, I start to unpack the overarching topic of why our lifestyle choices matter as a follower of Christ with part 1 of why. Starting in Genesis, how should we respond to the truths of the Bible claiming that part of our role as a human being is to represent God? Join the conversations on how the Scripture sheds light onto our perspective of the body and how stewardship comes into play.

I’m sharing with you a little of my story about how God has moved through my circumstances to bring me to where I am today. Listen to the foundation of why I am so passionate about connecting nutrition and wellness to faith.

Welcome to Simply to Thrive - my weekly podcast where we dive deep into nutrition and wellness, but rooted in Biblical truth. My name is Noelle Parton… join me as we have conversations connecting these topics to faith as a follower of Christ.
