Do you struggle with a "love-hate" relationship with food?

Even if it might not be obvious on the outside, many people actually struggle with their relationship with food - and not even realize it's doing them harm long-term.

And because health and nutrition can conjure up different feelings of shame, guilt, or even apathy (depending on your history with food), it's something that we don't tend to talk about often.

Today we're excited to be joined by Verona Angol, certified CBT Mindset & Macros Nutrition Coach and host of the Lose Weight With Macros Podcast.

Verona shares her own personal journey from working in IT and giving into constant cravings, to experiencing deep transformation through the help of a counselor - and the ultimate Counselor - to now helping others, too, through Mindset & Macros Coaching.

Hear how she went from eating McDonald's every single day and self-sabotaging through binge eating and body shame... to experiencing the Holy Spirit's help in finally learning to nourish not just her body, but also her mind, heart, and soul.

We also dive into the psychology behind our relationship with food and nutrition, how to prevent yo-yo dieting and legalistic mindsets – as well as practical ways to cultivate a balanced and disciplined approach to what and how we eat, without losing the joy of food and fellowship.

We hope this episode empowers you to enjoy a healthier, freer, and God-honoring relationship with what (and how) you consume into the body he's given you.
