Create A Healthy Relationship With Food For Health and Weight Loss
Tuesday Jan 02, 2024
Tuesday Jan 02, 2024
Welcome, friend. Wishing you a Healthy Happy New Year! Today's show is focused on transforming your relationship with food using a 3-fold holistic approach that sparks positive responses in your body and mind. If you're wrestling with food challenges, you're not alone. This approach links eating habits to good nutrition for a strong immune system and to promote a healthy body and weight. Join me, if you want to feel strong, empowered, and have a good relationship with food for the glory of God. Let's go to the show!
➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖
HIGHLIGHTS
✅ Heal Your Relationship With Food. Nourishing your body with nutrient-rich foods makes processed foods lose their appeal. Your body begins repairing and regenerating cells. With consistent nutrient-rich meals, you start experiencing positive shifts in mental and emotional well-being within just a few weeks!
✅ Eating fake and highly processed foods provides an instant dopamine rush, triggering a desire to repeat the experience. While this may offer short-term emotional pleasure, it leaves the body without nutrients and hungry on a cellular level. But, choosing to eat nutrient-rich foods to honor God will also bring joy; and emotional pleasure that lasts because you please the Lord.
