In the past three weeks, we talked about why you should care for your body (Talk 1), why sleep is an act of worship (Talk 2), and why movement magnifies the Lord (Talk 3).

Welcome to our brand new series, WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH, Loving God with a Healthy Body. Our series title is taken from the Shema, the greatest commandment of Jesus: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.” (Mark 12:30 NIV) For the next five weeks, we're going to talk about your health, but not just for the usual reasons gurus talk about—to have a better physique, sharper cognitive functions, more independence as you get older, etc. You want to be healthy because of one glorious reason: You want to love God with all of your strength. Talk 1 answers the question: Why Fuss about Health? The key message: You have a roommate.

This week, Mikki breaks down one of the most common (and misunderstood) questions in fat loss and health: what should your body fat percentage actually be? Drawing on current research, she explains why body fat isn't just “dead weight” but an active endocrine organ that plays a critical role in metabolism, hormones, and overall health. Mikki unpacks the difference between subcutaneous and visceral fat, why where you store fat matters, and how risk increases at higher levels. She also explores the lack of a universal “ideal” number, highlighting how factors like age, sex, and ethnicity influence healthy ranges. Finally, she cuts through the noise on body composition measurements, from DEXA to BIA, and offers practical guidance on what to focus on instead of chasing a single number. Key Highlights: Why body fat is metabolically active and essential for health  The critical difference between subcutaneous and visceral fat  Evidence-based body fat ranges for men and women  Limitations of common measurement tools like BIA and DEXA  Why health is more than just a body fat percentage  Contact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwillidenNZ listeners - save 10% off Calocurb by using the code Mikkipedia10 at www.calocurb.co.nzSave 20% on all Nuzest Products WORLDWIDE with the code MIKKI at www.nuzest.co.nz, www.nuzest.com.au or www.nuzest.comCurranz supplement: MIKKI saves you 25% at www.curranz.co.nz or www.curranz.co.uk off your first order

What if the way we feel about our child's body matters more than anything we say?  In this powerful conversation, I'm joined by body image psychotherapist Zoë Bisbing to unpack what body image really is—and how it quietly develops in childhood.  We talk about the subtle, often unintentional ways parents influence their child's relationship with their body, and why even well-meaning efforts to "help" can sometimes backfire.  You'll learn:  What body image actually is (and why it's more than appearance)   The difference between body positivity and body neutrality   Early signs your child may be struggling with body image   Why some children are more vulnerable than others   How parental "vibe" around food and bodies shapes kids more than words   What to do if your child says, "I hate my body"   When to seek professional support—and what therapy looks like   We also explore a powerful idea: that supporting your child's body image often starts with your own awareness, beliefs, and healing.  This episode will help you create a home where kids feel safe, respected, and supported in their bodies—no matter their size.

On today's Good Day Health Show - ON DEMAND…Dr. Jack Stockwell, a NUCCA Chiropractor and GAPS Practitioner in SLC, UT (866.867.5070 | ForbiddenDoctor.com | JackStockwell.com), covers the the biggest news in the health and wellness space from a holistic, naturopath perspective. In this episode, Dr. Jack begins with the scam that is the MTHFR gene scam, a widespread marketing fraud involving MTHFR (methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase) genetic testing.  Dr. Jack addresses what it is, why it has gained so much attention in recent years, and whether the concern surrounding it is truly warranted. Drawing on research from the past decade, Dr. Jack breaks down the science behind MTHFR deficiencies, including their connection to conditions like hyperhomocysteinemia and homocystinuria, as well as milder elevations in homocysteine levels.Rather than fueling fear, Dr. Jack offers a grounded and practical perspective, explaining why routine testing for the MTHFR gene may not be necessary for most people. He emphasizes focusing on overall health and lifestyle choices instead of getting caught up in genetic testing trends, and he shares his recommendations for supporting the body naturally.The conversation also shifts to a powerful and often overlooked aspect of wellness: the body's own antioxidant production. Dr. Jack reveals what he considers the most powerful antioxidant your body produces, why it plays such a critical role in protecting your cells, and how you can support your body's ability to maintain optimal levels.Packed with clarity, myth-busting insights, and actionable advice, this episode is a great reminder that good health doesn't have to be complicated, it just needs to be understood.Lastly, Doug joins Dr. Jack to answer listener questions, like if the weight loss drugs are worth it and the approach to intermittent fasting.  Website: GoodDayHealthShow.com Social Media: @GoodDayNetworks

Send us Fan MailIn this podcast Brian addresses an elementary teaching in the body of Christ- forgiveness.  The Holy Spirit has emphasized in the past few weeks the need to forgive from the heart, not from a mental ascent.  When unforgiveness is buried in our mind but not dealt with in the heart it can give rise to bitterness, disappointments, jealousy, etc.  The weight that we can carry from past seasons of disappointments (bitter disappointments), in some cases can cause sickness in the body.  In 1 Corinthians 11 Paul states that some are not discerning the body of Christ correctly and are weak, sick and some die.  In view of our present prophetic season, Brian explores this topic and its effect on the body of Christ.

Each of our bodies are unique.     Therefore, there is no one set weight that anyone should be forced to try to achieve…     However, there is a spectrum of healthy weight ranges for your body that have been proven by medical research to make you less susceptible to all the main causes of early mortality….     On today's #CabralConcept 1973 I will share with you the free calculator on how to figure out your own unique and ideal healthy body weight - Enjoy the show and let me know if you have any questions!   - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/1973 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

1 Thessalonians 5:14-15 by Brian Mullet | Lead Pastor

In this episode of the Dethroning Your Inner Critic podcast, we're joined by Hillary Conway—certified wellness practitioner, MIND Method coach, and author of Radical Wellness: Pathways to a Healthy Body, Mind and Planet. Hillary shares how integrating the MIND Method transformed the way she approaches wellness—moving away from shame-based "fixing" and toward sustainable habits rooted in self-love and curiosity. We explore how our relationship with food and the body mirrors our deeper relationship with ourselves, and why true transformation can't be built on guilt. Tune in to learn how to release attachment to outcomes, build practices that support real change, and create wellness from compassion instead of criticism.   Your weekly reflection questions: In what areas of your life are you still trying to "fix" yourself rather than caring for yourself from a place of self-love? When you reach for food, your phone, alcohol, or distraction, what might your body and mind actually be asking for in that moment? How would your habits, relationships, or work shift if they were built on curiosity and compassion instead of shame and the belief that you're not enough?   Want to learn more about Hilary Conway?

On this Thursday episode of the podcast, hosts Rachael Culpepper and Natalie Ambrose continue digging deeper on body image and practical ways to instill a healthy approach for our girls today.    In a time when cultural messages and marketing language are thrown around 24 hours a day, seven days a week, girls are bombarded by plenty of ways to think about their bodies, but none of it aligns with Scripture. So how can we help our daughters take hold of the messages, strip the lies of their power and urgency, and help girls rest in the Lord content with how He designed their bodies?     It's important for girls to understand that trends come and go—and it happens lightning fast these days! So if she's going to chase trends, she will likely always feel like she can never arrive—and she'll have no money! The Bible talks about the eternal beauty of a Godly girl's life that reflects Christ. This gives a more sustainable framework for girls to confidently navigate, trusting that God is working in their hearts no matter what the outward appearance looks like. Finally, the hosts offer a sobering look at how a mom's own baggage with body image can be inadvertently passed down to a daughter without a Scripture-empowered renewed mind.    Three Things to Remember:    When trends are your girl's measuring stick for beauty, she can be left feeling less-than.  Helping your girl weigh the temporary against the eternal will guide her to order beauty in a mature way.  Since your girl is watching how you handle your own sense of body image, it's important that we model this for her in Christian maturity.      Scriptures Referenced in this Episode:    1 Timothy 4:8  1 Peter 3:4  Romans 12:1-2        Explore more resources to raise girls rooted in Christ at raisinggodlygirls.com.   To find or start an AHG Troop in your area, visit americanheritagegirls.org.  

If you've ever thought, “Well, I guess I can't progressive overload because I don't have heavier weights,” this episode is for YOU.We're talking about training volume, progressive overload, and why lifting heavier isn't the only way to make progress. Yes - access to a gym and heavier weights is great! But…it's not required for results. What actually matters? The amount of MEANINGFUL work your muscles are doing over time! Volume isn't just a buzzword you're hearing online these days - it's sets × reps × load. Your body responds to challenge, and it's not just numbers on paper. If you're training at home, you're NOT stuck. Progressive overload isn't just “add weight.” It's more reps, sets, unilateral work, and pauses. The goal isn't heavy - it's HARD for you. Volume + intensity are your two levers, so don't be afraid to use them wisely!Episode recap:Why progressive overload isn't just adding weightWhat training volume really meansWhy effort, strength, and hard reps + recruitment matterHow to increase the challenge when your weights are limitedWhy volume + intensity are your two key leversUnderstanding that scale fluctuations after hard training are NORMALWays that progress shows up beyond the scaleWhy your goal should be hard (not heavy) for youLinks/Resources:Ep. 226 | Pain-Free Performance: How to Build a Powerful and Healthy Body for Life with Dr. John RusinEp. 227 | Your Body Is Not Amazon Prime - Stop Expecting Instant ResultsGrab your FREE Body Recomp Meal Prep and get the UFYF NewsletterListen to the Girls with Opinions PodcastJoin FIT CLUB, my monthly membership with workouts you can do at home or the gymPRIVATE COACHING is my 1:1 program (choose 3 or 6 month option)Connect with me on Instagram @kristycastillofit and @unfuckyourfitnesspodcast so we can keep this conversation going-be sure to tag me in your posts and stories!Join my FREE Facebook group, Unf*ck Your FitnessClick HERE for my favorite fitness & life things!Send me a text with episode ideas or just to say hi!

Chemical Free Body - Purify Your Life https://chemicalfreebody.com/melk  

n A Healthy Body, we explore God's design for the Church through Ephesians 4:16—revealing that true spiritual growth comes when every believer contributes their God-given grace. The Church is not a crowd that consumes, but a body that functions together in love. This message challenges listeners to move beyond attendance and step into participation, service, and unity. As grace circulates and love becomes the measure of health, the Body of Christ is strengthened, aligned with Christ the Head, and positioned to thrive in 2026.

Connect with me here! Send me a text message! Episode SummaryIn this powerful episode, we dive into what it means to live as a whole, healthy woman — spiritually, mentally, and physically. Many of us grew up believing God only cared about our spiritual life, but Scripture paints a completely different picture. God created us as integrated beings, and when one area is neglected, the others feel it too. Today, we explore why your spiritual strength, mental clarity, and physical health all matter to God and how small, grace-filled steps can bring new life into every part of your day.What We Talk AboutWe begin with the heart of the episode: understanding how a strong spirit grounds you in truth and resilience. Then, we discuss the importance of a sound mind — learning to renew your thoughts, replace lies with truth, and cultivate emotional peace in a noisy world. Finally, we look at God's design for a healthy body and how caring for yourself physically isn't selfish; it's stewardship. Each area affects the others, and God invites us into a life where all three are aligned and flourishing.Why This MattersIf you've been feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stretched thin, this episode will help you understand why — and how God is calling you toward wholeness. This isn't about perfection or pressure. It's about stepping into rhythms that bring life, clarity, energy, and spiritual strength so you can live fully in the purpose God has for you. You were made to thrive as a whole woman — spirit, mind, and body — and today's episode will show you what that can look like in your everyday life.Be encouraged, challenged and blessed today!!JOIN the 7 Rhythms Reset: 30 Day Faith & Wellness Challenge HERE- https://stan.store/mrsangelapitnikoff/p/7-rhythms-reset-a-30day-faithwellness-challengeGrab your downloadable scripture cards here>> https://stan.store/mrsangelapitnikoff/p/30-scripture-cards✨Come hang with me on IG- https://www.instagram.com/mrsangelapitnikoff/✨Join our FB sisterhood!- https://www.facebook.com/groups/kingdomdaughterssisterhood✨Want some fun free resources?

For the resources and links mentioned, go to:  https://simplysquaredaway.com/146 Ever felt like your body is screaming at you, and your business is too? This episode is going to change the way you think about your health and your systems. I'm joined by the amazing Rachel Carta, registered nurse, functional nutrition counselor, and life coach, for a conversation that connects the dots between what's going on in your body and what's going on behind the scenes of your business. Rachel and I dig into why your symptoms are actually signals, how everything is connected (yes, even your gut and your To Do list), and why simplicity is the key to healing both your health and your chaos. If you've ever felt like you were in constant survival mode, or like you're always behind, always pushing, and your body just isn't keeping up, this one's for you. Rachel shares her story of chronic migraines, burnout, and the breakdown that led her to completely change the way she lived and worked. She teaches how to listen to your body, recognize patterns, and implement small, simple habits that lead to massive shifts. We also talk about perimenopause, blood sugar, fiber, breathwork, and how to stop organizing your grandmother's trinkets instead of doing what matters in your business (ahem…can you relate?). This is not your typical health episode. Get ready to feel seen, empowered, and maybe finally ready to slow down and pay attention to what your body is telling you. In this episode, you'll learn: Why your symptoms aren't random, they're signals The 3 roots of health Rachel focuses on with every client How to know if what you're dealing with is emotional, medical, or stress-related The nervous system's role in organization, focus, and digestion Why your brain thinks “organizing grandma's trinkets” is just as urgent as launching your offer 3 small, doable shifts to feel better in your body and more focused in your business How deep breathing and fiber can change your life Why organizing your business lowers stress in your body Simple signs you're stuck in fight or flight and what to do about it

When does being “nice” start hurting your health? We explore the surprising science that links suppressed emotions—especially healthy anger and buried grief—to immune function, inflammation, and long-term disease risk. Drawing on affective neuroscience, we break down the core mammalian systems wired for rage, fear, panic and grief, care, seeking, and play, and explain why these circuits exist to protect boundaries and connection, not to create chaos.Gabor Maté's website: https://drgabormate.com/I share how anger operates as a boundary-setting signal that says something vital: this is not okay. When that signal gets muted to keep relationships intact, the immune system can mirror the shutdown. You'll hear clear, practical language for telling the difference between healthy and unhealthy anger, plus simple steps to honor your limits without escalating conflict—naming the feeling, identifying the crossed boundary, and choosing proportionate action. We also unpack how childhood survival strategies, like staying quiet to preserve attachment, can turn into adult patterns of chronic niceness, migraines, flares, and burnout.We look at striking research: longer survival among people with ALS who expressed anger, and a large study of women showing higher mortality when marital unhappiness stayed unspoken. The takeaway is not to explode; it's to listen to the body's early alarms and speak plain truths before stress hardens into illness. If you've ever wondered why “the good die young,” this conversation reframes goodness as self-respect, not self-erasure.If this resonated, follow the show, share it with someone who needs better boundaries, and leave a quick review so more listeners can find these tools.

Today, I am delighted to welcome Dr. William Davis, a cardiologist and New York Times bestselling author of the Wheat Belly series. He is also the author of Undoctored, Super Gut, and his latest book, Super Body. In our conversation, we dive into the toxic diet industry and how it profits from repeatedly delivering wrong messages. We explore physiological changes in body composition that contribute to poor metabolic health and inflammation, the dangers of ectopic fat, and the influence of our environment. Dr. Davis explains the weight loss Ponzi scheme and how muscle loss drives changes in body composition. We also unpack the gut-muscle axis, the role of the microbiome in muscle building, SIBO and treatment options, and examine the broader effects of oxytocin on body composition, touching on the benefits of replacing lost biological compounds, like collagen and hyaluronic acid, the impact of Max, the microbiota, and accessible carbs, along with practical takeaways to support healthier living and better body composition.

Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you.   KEY TAKEAWAYS The power of your personal brand lies not in your own perception of what it is, but in how consistently and authentically others experience you. It exists in the world around you.   Trust takes time to build and telling your stories consistently, frequently and over time, not only gives us personal gravitas and authenticity, it allows others to remember what we stand for, where we fit in their world, and what we can be counted on for. In other words, it starts with you.   The seven lenses explored—Healthy Mindset, Healthy Body, Healthy Brand, Healthy Business, Healthy Workplace, Healthy Systems, and Healthy Planet—are reaffirmed as interconnected ecosystems that create profound, often unforeseen impacts.   Expanding your influence from building brand you to building beyond you - into a "constellation of thinking and learning" - allows you to contribute much more meaningfully to the greater good.   Directing your privilege to forge new spaces for inclusion and collective leadership holds you responsible for pushing against conventional methods and helping those with less advantage.     ABOUT KYM HAMER: Kym is an international leadership and personal branding thought leader, an executive coach, and a programme design and facilitation practitioner. She is also the creator of Building Brand You™ - a methodology helping organisations, teams, and individuals to build reputation, presence, and gravitas.

You will learn about the five macro minerals as the big players that run your electrical system, stress response, thyroid, blood sugar, and detox pathways, and why I always start with a straightforward hair test before worrying about smaller numbers.What is really happening when these core minerals drift out of balance and you feel fatigued, anxious, constipated, bloated, unable to sleep well, or emotionally numb while your blood work keeps looking normal? Chronic stress, mold, gut and absorption issues, restrictive eating, big hormonal transitions, and even over filtered water can quietly drain these minerals long before anything shows up clearly on your standard labs. Your body has been compensating for years using every mineral trick it has to keep your blood looking stable, and the question is whether you'll help it move from survival back into actually feeling good.You'll Learn:[00:00] Introduction[02:49] What a cellular-level mineral test reveals long before blood work changes[04:57] How calcium can steady your system or silently block hormonal signals[05:51] The surprising ways low magnesium derails energy, mood, and digestion[06:52] What sodium levels expose about your stress load and resilience[18:52] How mold strips key minerals and creates the “four lows” pattern[20:26] Why arsenic and other heavy metals rise when minerals crash[32:40] What it really takes to move from mineral survival mode back to stabilityResources Mentioned:Master Your Minerals Course | WebsiteOther Hormone Healing episodes to listen to:Zinc deep dive | EpisodeCopper deep dive | EpisodeIron deep dive Part 1 | EpisodeIron deep dive Part 2 | EpisodeAll about the Copper IUD | EpisodeSelenium deep dive | EpisodeNothing boring about Boron | EpisodeMaster your minerals.

Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you.   KEY TAKEAWAYS You need to build a business and a brand that serves your life, not have your business or your brand run the show.

In this episode of Beyond I Do, Adam and Ashlee unpack the powerful link between our physical health and our spiritual well-being. While modern culture often treats fitness as vanity, Scripture reminds us in 1 Corinthians 6:19–20 that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit.Together, they explore how diet, exercise, and lifestyle choices not only shape our physical health but also impact intimacy, emotional connection, and spiritual growth in marriage. This conversation challenges us to view taking care of our bodies as more than a personal goal—it's an act of honoring God and building stronger relationships. By tending to both body and spirit, we can step into more fulfilling marriages and deeper faith.--Join our AFTER I DO community for Exclusive Content & community!www.afterido.app--Have a question about relationships?

21 September 2025 - Glory Revealed In A Healthy Body-Sermon by Christian Family Chapel

Can body image really begin at age 3? According to the research – yes. And what parents say and do in those early years can be a powerful protective force. In this episode, we're joined by Dr. Janet Boseovski and Dr. Ashleigh Gallagher, authors of Beyond Body Positive: A Mother's Science-Based Guide for Helping Girls Build a Healthy Body Image. They share evidence-based insights on how mothers – and all caring adults – can support girls in developing a healthy relationship with their bodies. We explore the major influences on body image, the impact of toys and movies, and why improving awareness of our own self-talk matters so much. You'll walk away with practical tools you can start using today to reduce risk for body dissatisfaction and disordered eating. This conversation offers powerful strategies for parents with children at any age – all grounded in science and compassion.   If you enjoy our show, please rate, review, subscribe, and tell your friends and colleagues!   Interested in being a guest on All Bodies.

You're doing all the “right” things but something still feels off. Your energy's low. Your cycle's weird. Your hormones are all over the place. Could it be your body fat? In this episode, we're unpacking the truth about body fat percentage and why it matters so much more than your weight or BMI ever could.

You'll learn: • What a healthy body fat range really looks like for women • Why being “too lean” might be hurting your health • How to tell if your body fat is working for you or against you • What changes from your 20s to your post-menopause years This isn't a guilt trip or a fitness plan.
