Want weight loss answers that actually last? Here's the truth: your struggle isn't about diets, willpower, or trying harder. It's about shifting to a God-first health plan that brings real freedom and consistency.

In this episode, I'm sharing the faith-first shift that changed everything in my health. These aren't complicated rules or quick fixes—they're simple, biblical steps you can start today.

Here's what you'll learn in this episode:

1️⃣ Recognize the Real Battle – Why the enemy wants you discouraged, and how to fight back with God's truth.
2️⃣ Reset With Grace – How to break free from guilt spirals and start fresh with God's mercies, anytime.
3️⃣ Replace Shame With Strategy – Why a faith-filled plan will always outlast diets, and how to build one that actually sticks.

Scriptures from this episode:

  • Galatians 6:9

  • Lamentations 3:22–23

  • 1 Corinthians 10:13
