Strength training builds muscle, and muscle burns more calories—even at rest! Aim for 3-4 strength training workouts per week to see the best fat loss results. ✔ Nutrition is 80% of Fat Loss You cannot out-train a bad diet. Prioritize protein-rich, whole foods that keep you full and energized. Stop drastically cutting calories—it slows metabolism and makes fat loss harder.

Join the Simple Fitness Habits Christian Community HERE Enroll in Your Simple Health Blueprint and Let's do this! https://www.shaeladaugherty.com/yoursimplehealthblueprint Does working out feel like just another task on your never-ending to-do list? Maybe you start a workout plan full of motivation, but after a few weeks, it feels more like a burden than something you enjoy. You find yourself checking off the boxes, pushing yourself through, and trying to do it all perfectly. Before long, fitness feels exhausting—like something you have to do rather than something you want to do. But here’s the truth: fitness doesn’t have to feel like a chore. Instead of draining you, it can actually be life-giving. It can be an opportunity for joy, gratitude, and even worship. In this episode, we’re diving deep into the gospel and how it transforms the way we view health and fitness. When we shift our mindset and align our workouts with faith, exercise stops feeling like another obligation and becomes a joyful, freeing part of our daily lives. If you’ve ever struggled to stay consistent, if workouts feel like a burden, or if you want to connect your fitness journey with your faith, this episode is for you. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why fitness is a response to God’s love, not a requirement to prove your worth. How to release guilt and embrace grace-fueled discipline. Why your body is a vessel for service, not a project to perfect. How strength isn’t just for you—it’s meant to help you show up fully in your calling. How to shift from striving to thriving in your health journey through faith. Fitness isn’t just about how you look—it’s about how you show up for the life God has called you to live. Your Next Step: If you’re ready to stop seeing fitness as an obligation and start building a faith-filled, sustainable health rhythm, Your Simple Health Blueprint is for you. It’s not another diet. It’s not about pressure or perfection. It’s a proven system to help Christian women build consistent, grace-filled health habits that actually fit their lives.

You start strong, full of grit and motivation, but then—life happens. ⏳ You get busy, miss a few workouts, grab takeout instead of cooking… and suddenly that little voice creeps in: ❌ See? You did it again. You’ll never be consistent. ❌ You always fall off track. ❌ Maybe this just isn’t for you. Sister, that voice? It’s a lie. You’re not failing. You don’t lack willpower. You’re not stuck. You’ve just been handed the wrong strategy. Or maybe you have been showing up, following a plan, but something still feels off. You’re checking all the boxes, but have you truly invited God in? In this episode, we’re breaking down the 3 biggest mistakes Christian women make in their health journeys—and exactly what to do instead. The 3 Biggest Mistakes in Your Health Journey (And What to Do Instead!) 💡 Mistake #1: Thinking of Health as Something to "Fix" Instead of a Lifestyle to Build Many women see health as a problem to solve —so they jump into extreme solutions: 🚫 Overhauling their diet overnight 🚫 Jumping into 6-day-a-week workouts after doing zero 🚫 Going all-in, only to burn out What to do instead: ✅ Start with 1-2 small habits instead of changing everything at once ✅ Focus on progress, not perfection ✅ View health as a lifestyle that supports your calling, not a short-term fix 📖 Your health is not a finish line to reach—it’s a rhythm to build. 💡 Mistake #2: Relying on Willpower or Motivation Instead of Rhythms and Routines If you’ve ever thought, I just need to try harder or I need more discipline , I need you to hear me—motivation will always fade. Eventually, life gets overwhelming, and when you’re running on empty, willpower alone won’t keep you consistent. What to do instead: ✅ Create automatic habits (e.g., morning workouts, meal prepping, drinking water first thing) ✅ Make decisions ahead of time (so you don’t rely on in-the-moment willpower) ✅ F

113. 3 Mindset Shifts Busy Women Need to Overcome Guilt and Prioritize Their Health
Sign up for the FREE Jumpstart Your Health Workshop 2025: https://www.shaeladaugherty.com/jumpstartyourhealth25 As busy women, we often feel like there’s never enough time to focus on our health. Maybe you think workouts steal precious moments from your family or that healthy eating is a luxury you simply don’t have time for. But here’s the truth: caring for yourself isn’t selfish—it’s essential. In this episode, we explore how shifting your mindset can help you embrace your health journey without guilt, prioritize your well-being for the right reasons, and live abundantly in your purpose. What You’ll Learn in This Episode Reframing Self-Care as Essential Soul Care Self-care isn’t just bubble baths and massages; it’s about aligning your heart and body with God’s purpose. Learn how prioritizing your health helps you show up stronger for the people and responsibilities you care about most. Why Prioritizing Your Health is a Gift, Not Selfish Your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). Taking care of it honors God and equips you for the work He has called you to. Hear how small, intentional health habits can create more energy and joy in your life. How to Shift from a Scarcity to an Abundance Mindset Stop seeing health as something that “takes away” from your family or work. Instead, see it as something that gives you more—more energy, focus, and joy. Practical tips to embrace health as a gift, even in a busy season of life. Key Highlights Why Guilt Isn’t From God: Feeling guilty for working out or prepping a healthy meal is not from the Lord. Instead of shame, embrace gratitude for the body He’s given you. Small Steps Lead to Big Changes: Taking care of your body doesn’t require hours at the gym or massive lifestyle overhauls. It starts with small, intentional habits like drinking more water or taking a 5-minute walk. Your Health is a Form of Worship: Fitness isn’t just about looking good; it’s about honoring God with your body so you can fulfill the purpose He’s given you. Encouragement for the Busy Woman You’re not alone in feeling overwhelmed or like there’s no time to prioritize yourself. But the truth is, when you care for your health, you’re not taking away from your family—you’re investing in them by showing up as the best version of yourself. You deserve to feel strong, energized, and present. And with God’s help, small, consistent choices can make a lasting impact on your health and your life. Take the Nex

Discover three key reasons why adding weight training can help transform both your physique and confidence, making fitness a lasting, life-giving habit. What You’ll Learn in This Episode In this episode, I’m sharing why weight loss without weight training may not be giving you the results you want. You’ll leave understanding: Why Weight Loss Alone Won’t Lead to Fat Loss or Muscle Tone Losing weight isn’t the same as losing fat, and weight loss alone can actually decrease lean muscle. Learn how weight training helps create a lean, toned look by maintaining muscle while reducing body fat. How Weight Training Boosts Your Metabolism for Long-Term Fat Loss Muscle burns more calories at rest than fat, meaning weight training can help you burn more calories—even when you’re not working out! This is key for busy women who want lasting weight loss without spending hours in the gym. The Confidence-Building Power of Strength Training Building strength through weight training transforms not only how you look but how you feel. Strength training builds resilience, improves energy, and boosts mental focus—helping you feel like the strong, capable woman God created you to be. Quick Highlights from the Episode Weight Loss ≠ Fat Loss: Cardio alone won’t build lean muscle. Without weight training, you may lose weight but still not achieve a defined look. Muscle & Metabolism: Muscle is metabolically active—meaning weight training can boost your calorie burn even outside the gym. Strength Training & Confidence: Strength isn’t just physical—it’s spiritual. When we build physical strength, we tap into a deeper resilience that impacts every area of life.

83. Two Health Habits Christian Women Can Implement Today to See Real Results
Build your body & faith through The Stronger Collective: thestrongerco.com In this episode, we explore two health habits Christian women can implement today to see real results in their fitness and spiritual lives. The first habit, progressive overload, is a key element of any effective workout routine. Whether you’re trying to build strength, improve endurance, or tone your body, progressively overloading your muscles is crucial to make sustainable progress. We explain how this concept works and why it’s essential to stick with a workout plan that challenges you to gradually increase the reps or weights over time, which leads to muscle growth and fat burning. This simple shift in how you approach your workouts can help you break through plateaus and get you closer to your fitness goals. The second habit, which might be unexpected, is to progressively overload the Word of God in your life. Just like you build strength by challenging your muscles, you can build spiritual strength by committing to daily Bible reading. Whether it’s finding time in your busy schedule to get into the Word or pushing yourself to dig deeper in scripture, growing in your faith alongside your fitness journey is essential for a well-rounded, fulfilling life. Key Takeaways: Progressive Overload in Workouts: Use the same workout routine for 3-4 weeks and gradually increase the intensity by either adding reps or weights. This method helps build lean muscle mass, increase strength, and boost your metabolism, allowing your body to burn more calories at rest. Focus on long-term results rather than constantly changing your workout routine. Progressive Overload in Bible Reading: Just like you train your body, you can train your spirit by making scripture reading a daily habit. Prioritize time for the Word of God, whether in the morning or at night, and be intentional about creating space in your life to connect with God. Consider doing a time audit to see where you can fit more time for prayer and Bible study into your day. Faith and Fitness Connection: We are embodied beings, and our bodies are integral to how we live out our faith. By aligning your spiritual and physical health, you can grow stronger in both areas. As you progressively overload both your workouts and your time in scripture, you’ll not only see physical results but also deepen your relationship with Jesus and gain spiritual strength. Join Our October Challenge: It’s not too late to jump into the CrockTober Challenge in the Stronger Collective app! We’re cooking up some amazing Crock-Pot meals that will save you time and stress as you move through this busy season. This is the perfect time to make meal prep easy, stay nourished, and keep

82. Dreaming of Toned Arms? Why Endless Arm Workouts and Bicep Exercises Aren't Helping and What to Do Instead
Join The Stronger Collective today for Crock-tober 2024 & the perfect Accessory workouts for your goals: thestrongerco.com In today's episode we chat about: 1. The Truth About Arms and Nutrition: While nutrition plays a huge role in fat loss, it’s the workouts that build the muscle. Many women focus too much on isolated exercises to tone their arms, but the secret to achieving strong, toned biceps and triceps is strength training combined with proper nutrition. Your muscles are built in the gym and revealed in the kitchen. So, if you want to see definition, it’s about building muscle through compound lifts and supporting that work with proper nutrition. 2. Myth Busting: Spot Training Doesn’t Work: It’s common to believe that if you work a specific muscle (like your arms) frequently, it will reduce fat in that area. However, fat loss is systemic, meaning you can't target fat loss to one specific area of your body. Instead, fat loss occurs across your body based on genetics, and that's where proper nutrition and a balanced workout routine come into play. The more you build muscle, the more your body burns calories, even at rest. 3. The Science Behind Arm Muscles: Your arms are made up of fast and slow-twitch muscles, which are responsible for different types of movements. Biceps (two muscle heads) and triceps (three muscle heads) are smaller muscles that fatigue quickly when overworked. Overtraining these muscles, especially with repetitive isolated movements, can stall your progress and even lead to burnout or injury. 4. Focus on Compound Lifts: Rather than isolating your biceps and triceps with constant curls and dips, focus on compound exercises like push-ups, bench presses, and overhead presses. These movements already engage your arms, meaning less direct arm work is necessary. When done correctly, compound lifts will help build the overall strength and tone you're looking for without the risk of overtraining. 5. How to Incorporate Arm Training into Your Routine: If you want to specifically target your arms, it's important to do so smartly. I recommend: Full-body workouts 3 times a week: If you're doing 3 or fewer workouts a week, focus on total body strength training to build overall muscle. 1 dedicated accessory day: Add one additional accessory day focused on bicep and tricep exercises like curls and tricep dips. Keep it short and effective, aiming for 2-3 sets per exercise. Progressive Overload: Gradually increase your weights or reps week by week to challenge your muscles and stimulate growth without overtraining them. 6. Avoid Burnout: Consistency is key. Overdoing arm exercises, or any exercises for that matter, can lead to injury, burnout, and stalled progress. Train smart, not excessively. Focus on quality over quantity, and always give your muscles time

81. 5 Unexpected Bible Verses to Motivate Your Fitness Journey
join the free Fitness Faith & Fuel Challenge here: https://www.shaeladaugherty.com/5-day-faith-fitness-devo Join The Stronger Collective: thestrongerco.com 1. Ephesians 3:20-21 "Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us." This verse reminds us that through Christ, we can push past our physical and mental limitations. Just like our workouts, where we learn to expect the unexpected and find joy in the challenge, this verse encourages us to rely on the power of the Holy Spirit to go beyond what we think is possible—both in our fitness journey and our spiritual walk. 2. Romans 12:1-2 "I urge you to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship." Fitness is more than just physical; it's a way to offer our bodies in worship to God. Through training, we not only build physical strength but also renew our minds. Consistently moving our bodies becomes a form of worship, where we can be rejuvenated both physically and spiritually, aligning ourselves with God’s perfect will. 3. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 "Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore, honor God with your bodies." Our fitness journey is a reflection of sanctification. Just as sanctification is the process of becoming more like Christ, strength training and physical discipline push us through the hard things in life to make us stronger, both spiritually and physically. This verse reminds us that our bodies belong to God, and we honor Him when we take care of them. 4. Mark 12:30 "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength." This verse calls us to love God with every aspect of who we are—body included. Our physical fitness is a way to demonstrate that love. By training our bodies, we are equipping ourselves to serve others well, whether it’s our families, our communities, or our churches. 5. Galatians 5:22-23 "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control." Fitness trains us in more ways than one. In our workouts, we cultivate the fruits of the Spirit—patience, discipline, self-control, and gentleness with ourselves. This verse encourages us to use our fitness routines to display these fruits not just in our bodies but in our mental and emotional health as well.

80. Best Workout for Getting Toned? Weight Loss? Perimenopause? Postpartum?
Join the Crock-Tober 2024 Challenge today in The Stronger Collective: thestrongerco.com In this episode, we tackle one of the most common questions I get as a personal trainer: "What are the best workouts for ___?" Whether you're looking to build muscle, tone your arms, achieve a flatter tummy, or find the best exercises for menopause, postpartum, or pregnancy, this episode is for you! I break down why strength training is the secret to long-term fitness success and why progressive overload is the key to seeing real, lasting results. Key Highlights: Why Strength Training is Essential: Strength training workouts are the most effective way to achieve sustainable results, no matter your life stage—perimenopause, menopause, postpartum, or beyond. Learn how to leverage these workouts for better muscle tone, increased strength, and boosted metabolism. Understanding Progressive Overload: Discover the science behind progressive overload, a technique where you gradually increase the stress on your muscles through repeated workouts, increased reps, or heavier weights. This method is vital for building lean muscle mass, enhancing bone density, and boosting metabolism. Practical Tips for Progressive Overload: I’ll walk you through a 4-week example of how to progressively overload your muscles, with step-by-step guidance on adjusting your weights and reps. Whether you’re just starting your strength training journey or you’re a seasoned lifter, you’ll learn how to tailor this method to your needs. The Spiritual Parallel: Fitness isn't just physical; it's spiritual too. Progressive overload is a lot like sanctification—a gradual process of growth and strengthening over time. Just like we grow in our faith, our bodies get stronger when we challenge them consistently. Tracking Your Progress: Why it’s essential to track your weights, reps, and progress. Tracking isn’t just about numbers; it’s about seeing your growth and celebrating your wins—whether that’s lifting more weight, increasing your reps, or simply feeling stronger. Why Strength Training Beats HIIT for Long-Term Results We often hear about the benefits of HIIT, but when it comes to long-term results, strength training is the clear winner. HIIT can be effective in short bursts, but if you're looking for sustainable change and long-term muscle growth, strength training workouts will help you get there. Plus, strength training is better for your metabolism and can help you burn more calories even at rest. How to Build Lean Muscle with Progressive Overload The secret to building lean muscle and getting that toned look is in the small adjustments: Week 1: Start with lighter weights to get used to the exercises. Week 2: Increase your reps using the same weight. Week 3: Add 2-5 lbs to your weights.</li

We’ll also explore how fitness can be an act of worship, honoring the Lord as we care for the bodies He has given us. Inspired by Romans 12:1, we'll discuss why offering our bodies as a living sacrifice—through movement and care—is a way to praise and serve Him. Learn how staying consistent with your workouts, even if they look different in tough seasons, is essential for both your physical health and spiritual endurance. In this episode, you’ll discover: Why fitness is about resilience and preparedness, not just aesthetics. How to use your workouts to process emotions and draw closer to God during chaotic times. Practical tips for maintaining fitness during busy seasons, and how to make fitness a priority when time is limited. How viewing your body as a tool for service changes everything—especially when fear and uncertainty seem to dominate the world around you. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by the election season or struggling to stay consistent in your health journey, this episode will encourage you to see fitness as a way to prepare your body for God’s purpose. Don’t let fear or busyness derail your progress—let’s stay focused, keep moving, and honor God with our bodies.

How to find a deeper "why"—one that aligns with your life purpose and God’s calling. The trap of yo-yo dieting and why it fails to provide long-term health and consistency.

Grab the Macros Made Simple Guide: https://www.shaeladaugherty.com/offers/RQxaXACi In today’s episode of Move Your Body Differently , we’re diving deep into what it means to truly get a return on your investment in your health and fitness journey. If you’ve ever felt like you were putting in all the effort—following the workouts, tracking your food, investing in the programs—but not seeing long-lasting results, this episode is for you. We’ll unpack the “all-or-nothing mentality” and why quick fixes and fad diets never lead to lasting changes. You’ll learn how investing in your health can lead to long-term benefits, not just physically, but mentally and emotionally, as we break down the importance of small, sustainable habits in fitness. One of the biggest issues women face is tying their self-worth to their fitness results—and in this episode, we’ll explore why your identity is not found in your weight, diet, or fitness program, but in who God says you are. Return on Investment (ROI) in health: Why slow, consistent progress trumps quick results. Understanding the pause button mentality and how it leads to burnout. The subtle connection between self-worth and fitness results, and how to untangle them. Fad diets and quick fixes: why they don’t work and what actually leads to sustainable fitness. How to approach your health and fitness journey like a retirement plan—small, consistent investments lead to big returns. The power of small habits: How one mini change, like focusing on protein, can lead to massive results. Why prioritizing one small health habit (like tracking protein intake) can give you more mental clarity, physical energy, and confidence. Breaking free from the guilt and shame cycle when your fitness program doesn’t go as planned. The importance of focusing on mental energy and decision fatigue in your health journey. How you can invest less time upfront but see more results in the long term with strategic fitness planning. Too many women invest in health programs and then feel like failures when they don’t get long-term results. This episode is about shifting that mindset, seeing the bigger picture, and understanding that small changes lead to major returns. You’ll leave this episode knowing how to invest wisely in your health journey and, more importantly, how to feel confident and empowered in the process.

76. Christian Weight Loss (without Quick Fixes) & How to Maintain It
Join the 🎃 Crock-tober 2024 Even in The Stronger Collective - It's only available through the Month of October! join here: thestrongerco.com In this episode, we’re diving deep into a topic that affects so many women on their health and fitness journey—quick fixes. Whether it’s a 30-day detox, a 6-week shred program, or the promise of losing 20 pounds in just a month, we’ve all been tempted by quick fixes. But here’s the harsh truth: they don’t work. In fact, they often make things worse. We need a better way to approach our health. Something simple and sustainable that can integrate into our busy lives. If you’re like most women listening to this podcast, your day is packed from the moment your feet hit the floor until you fall back into bed. Quick fixes may feel appealing in the moment because everything else in life is so hard. But these temporary solutions don’t provide lasting results and usually set us back even further. In this episode, we explore: Why quick fixes fail to deliver sustainable health and fitness results The dangers of crash diets, detox programs, and extreme fitness challenges Micro habits and how building small, sustainable changes can lead to lifelong health How slow and steady progress is scientifically proven to be more effective than drastic changes How to retrain your mindset to break free from the all-or-nothing mentality Real-life examples of how sustainable health habits can transform not only your body but your confidence and self-worth Key Takeaways: Quick fixes are a short-term solution to a long-term goal, and they don’t address the root cause of health issues. Building sustainable habits like drinking more water, managing portion sizes, and incorporating strength training are the keys to lasting change. Revisiting and mastering the basics—like tracking protein intake, staying hydrated, and moving your body regularly—is how you create a healthy lifestyle, not just a temporary fix. The yo-yo dieting cycle is more harmful than helpful, and it perpetuates the idea that success is only possible through extreme efforts. Small daily habits compound over time to create a return on your health investment, not just physically but also mentally and emotionally.

If you've found yourself frustrated by stubborn weight gain or difficulty maintaining your fitness, you're not alone. Whether you’re in your thirties or preparing for them, this episode will equip you with the knowledge to adapt your health and fitness routine to meet your body’s evolving needs. Here’s what we’ll cover: 3 Reasons Why Weight Loss is Harder After 30: Natural Muscle Loss with Age: Starting around age 30, your body begins to lose about half a pound of lean muscle mass each year if you’re not actively weight training. This loss of muscle mass can lead to an increase in body fat if it’s not counteracted by strength training or other muscle-building activities. Hormonal Changes: After 30, your body undergoes significant hormonal changes, including shifts in cortisol, estrogen, and progesterone levels. These changes can impact your weight, mood, and energy levels, making it more challenging to maintain a healthy weight. Lifestyle Changes: By the time you’re in your thirties, your lifestyle likely involves more stressors, such as family commitments, work pressures, and less time for self-care. The activities that kept you fit in your twenties might not be as effective in your thirties due to these new challenges. Practical Tips for Overcoming These Challenges: Start Weight Training: Incorporating weight training into your routine is essential for maintaining and building lean muscle mass, which is key to staying fit as you age. Evaluate Your Nutrition: Begin tracking your eating habits and make necessary adjustments to support your body's changing needs. Proper nutrition is crucial for balancing hormones and maintaining energy levels. Prioritize Rest and Recovery: Ensure you’re getting enough

61. How to Detox the Right Way: Health Truths with Lacy Lain
In this episode of the Move Your Body Differently podcast, Shaela Daugherty brings on Lacy Lain from Lacy Lain Wellness to clear up all the confusion about detoxes and cleanses. Are they really necessary? What's the difference? How do you know if you actually need one? Lacy, a functional medicine and nutrition coach, breaks down the science and provides actionable steps to help you understand what detoxes and cleanses are meant for, when they're needed, and how to approach them without falling for the quick fixes in the health industry. Key Topics Discussed: The real purpose of detoxes and why they should be done with care How a proper detox takes time—usually a minimum of three months What a cleanse is versus a detox and the role each plays in your health The dangers of using detoxes as a quick weight loss solution How your body’s communication system is deeply affected by toxins and what happens during a true detox process The 80/20 rule and how to find balance without compromising your health Who is this episode for? This episode is perfect for anyone who’s curious about detoxes, unsure if they need one, or considering doing a cleanse after a holiday or big event. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the marketing hype around quick-fix detoxes, this episode will give you the truth you need to make informed decisions for your health. What You’ll Learn: What detoxes really are: Learn how true detoxes work to flush toxins from your body and support your communication systems (brain, gut, thyroid) to operate at their best. Lacy explains that detoxing isn’t just about taking supplements or drinking teas—it’s a full-body reset that takes time. Detoxes vs. Cleanses: Understand the difference between a detox, which is a long-term process, and a cleanse, which is typically a short-term flush of toxins. Cleanses can be helpful after indulgent events, but they don't address deeper issues within your body's systems. Weight loss and detoxing: Lacy and Shaela discuss the dangers of using detoxes for quick weight loss, explaining why it's not a sustainable or healthy approach. They dive into how your body can regain balance naturally when it’s functioning properly, leading to healthy weight loss. The right way to detox: Lacy emphasizes the importance of preparing your body before detoxing by building it up with vital nutrients. She explains why the first phase of detox should always focus on fortifying your body with vitamins and minerals to handle the strain of removing toxins. Key Takeaways: Detoxing isn’t a quick fix: Many people mistake detoxing for a fast way to lose weight, but true detoxing takes time—typically three to six months—and is focused on restoring the body’s natural balance, not just shedding pounds.

Join The Stronger Collective App: 7 Day Free Trial Follow on Instagram: @sdfitwell Website: www.shaeladaugherty.com In this episode of the Move Your Body Differently podcast, we explore the powerful message from Nehemiah 1:3 and its profound relevance to our health and fitness journey.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in your brokenness—whether it's physical, emotional, or spiritual—this episode reminds us that brokenness is not the end of our story. God invites us to rebuild, heal, and find restoration through small, intentional steps toward physical health and spiritual wholeness. What You’ll Learn: Lessons from Nehemiah: Nehemiah’s return to Jerusalem to rebuild its walls serves as a beautiful analogy for our own health journey. Just like the Israelites, we can experience setbacks in our bodies, but those broken walls don’t have to define us. We can rebuild with Christ as our foundation. Brokenness is Not the End: Whether it’s through an injury, chronic illness, postpartum recovery, or even spiritual exhaustion, we all face seasons of brokenness. The key is understanding that these experiences don’t have to stop us; they are opportunities for growth and healing. Your Body is the New Testament Temple: In the Old Testament, the Israelites had a physical place to call home, but as Christians, our home is now in our bodies because the Holy Spirit dwells within us. Rebuilding our bodies through health is a spiritual act of worship. Healing from the Inside Out: Brokenness—whether physical, emotional, or spiritual—serves as a reminder of our limited nature, but it also points us to our ultimate healer, Christ. Learn how small, simple steps toward better health can lead to transformation inside and out. Holiness and Wholeness: Pursuing health from a kingdom-minded perspective means that while we strive for physical well-being, the ultimate goal is wholeness in Christ. Discover why the pursuit of health isn’t about perfection but about aligning our bodies with God’s purpose for our lives. Shaela's message of rebuilding from Nehemiah offers a powerful framework for how we can approach our health journey with faith. Whether you’re recovering from a surgery, dealing with chronic illness, or simply trying to live a healthier lifestyle, this episode encourages you to shift your mindset, focus on God’s restoration, and take actionable steps toward health in partnership with the Holy Spirit.

While these goals are valid, they can often lead to frustration when we don’t see immediate results. I explain why these goals might be holding you back and how to shift your focus to something more sustainable. Understanding Behavior-Based Goals: I break down the difference between outcome-based goals and behavior-based goals, emphasizing the importance of daily actions and habits that are within your control. By focusing on what you can control—like meal planning, regular workouts, and hydration—you set yourself up for long-term success. The Biblical Perspective: Drawing inspiration from the Bible, we explore how God guides us through the journey, not just the destination. Using examples from Exodus, I highlight the importance of knowing God in the present moment and how this applies to your health and fitness journey. Shifting Your Mindset for Long-Term Success: I encourage you to think about who you want to be in 10 years, not just what you want to achieve in the short term. By focusing on your identity in Christ and the long-term habits that will help you fulfill your God-given purpose, you can break free from feeling stuck and start enjoying the journey. Practical Tips to Get Unstuck: I offer practical advice on how to set behavior-based goals that align with your identity and purpose. Whether it’s setting small, daily habits or reflecting on past experiences to guide your future actions, these tips are designed to help you move forward with confidence.

Free 15 Minute Health Plan Call: https://www.shaeladaugherty.com/healthplancall Welcome back to Move Your Body Differently ! I’m your host, Shaela Daugherty, and today’s episode is a bit different. We’re diving into the intersection of faith and fitness, exploring how your theology of God can profoundly impact your wellness journey. In today’s episode, I want to help you cut through the noise of conflicting health advice and refocus on what truly matters: aligning your fitness journey with your faith. Whether you're on a run, driving in your car, or gearing up for a workout, I hope this episode inspires, encourages, and motivates you to keep pushing forward with purpose. In this episode, we cover: The Noise of Conflicting Advice: We start by addressing the overwhelming amount of conflicting information out there. From Christian dietitians who warn against tracking calories to those who insist it's necessary, it’s easy to feel lost. Let’s cancel out the noise and focus on the truth that aligns with our faith and purpose. Biblical Foundations for Training: I read key scriptures that ground our understanding of why we train, including 1 Timothy 4:8, 1 Corinthians 9:24-27, 1 Corinthians 10:31, Proverbs 31:17, and John 10:10. These verses remind us that while physical training has its benefits, our highest purpose is to know God and make Him known. Why We Train: We dive deep into the reasons we train as Christians—whether it’s to worship God with our bodies, prepare ourselves for His calling, or discipline our minds and bodies to stay focused on the tasks He’s given us. This isn’t about idolizing fitness; it’s about using it as a tool to fulfill our God-given purpose. The Balance Between Apathy and Obsession: I discuss the common pitfalls of either obsessing over our bodies or becoming apathetic toward them. Both extremes can distract us from our true purpose. I encourage you to find the balance and train with intention, keeping your motivation in check and aligned with God’s will. Practical Steps for a Purposeful Fitness Journey: I offer practical advice on how to train with purpose, integrate your faith into your wellness routine, and ensure that your fitness goals serve a higher purpose.

Ultimate Protein Guide: https://www.shaeladaugherty.com/proteinguide Welcome back to Move Your Body Differently ! I’m your host, Shaela Daugherty, and today we’re diving into one of the most requested topics: meal planning. Whether you’re a busy mom, juggling work and family, or simply looking to streamline your weekly routine, this episode is packed with practical tips and strategies to make meal planning work for you. In this episode, we cover: Meal Planning vs. Meal Prepping: Understanding the difference between meal planning and meal prepping. Meal planning involves writing down what you’ll be eating for the week or month, while meal prepping is the actual preparation of those meals ahead of time. We’ll focus on planning, which sets the foundation for successful meal execution. Analyzing What Works and What Doesn’t: I share the importance of being self-aware and evaluating your meal planning process. Learn how to turn challenges into learning opportunities by analyzing what worked and what didn’t each week. This mindset shift is key to developing a sustainable meal planning strategy. My Monthly Meal Planning Method: I break down my step-by-step process for planning a month’s worth of meals in advance. This approach has evolved over the years and now takes me just 30 minutes a month. I’ll show you how I categorize meals by cooking methods—pressure cooker, slow cooker, oven/grill, and stovetop—and use this system to simplify grocery shopping and meal prep. Creating a Rotating Meal Plan: Discover how I build a rotating list of breakfast and lunch options that require minimal planning and how I keep track of dinner recipes using a Word document. This system saves time, reduces mental energy, and ensures variety in our meals. The Importance of Adaptability: Meal planning isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. I explain how I adapt my plan based on what works for my family, making changes as needed without having to reinvent the wheel every month. Encouraging Long-Term Success: I discuss why it’s important to take ownership of your meal planning process. By choosing meals your family enjoys and creating a system that works for you, you’re more likely to stick with it and make it a lasting habit. I mentioned several different links throughout this episode, here are a few of them: Penny Pinchers Low Carb Recipe Book (i am not affiliated with them, I just enjoy their recipes): https://shop.passionatepennypincher.com/collections/digital/products/low-calorie-menu-pla

12. Unpacking Functional Medicine with Lacy Lain: A Holistic & Optimal Approach to Wellness
Discover Your Custom Faith Based Fitness Plan: https://www.shaeladaugherty.com/faithworkoutquiz Welcome back, Fit Fam, to Move Your Body Differently ! I’m your host, Shaela Daugherty, and today I’m excited to dive into the world of functional medicine with my dear friend, Lacy Lain. Lacy is a functional medicine health and nutrition coach, a mom of three, and someone who’s passionate about helping women achieve optimal wellness. In today’s episode, we’re breaking down what functional medicine is, how it differs from traditional healthcare, and how it can transform your health journey. In this episode, we cover: What is Functional Medicine? Lacy explains that functional medicine is a systems-based biology approach that focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of health issues. Unlike traditional Western medicine, which often focuses on treating symptoms with medication, functional medicine looks at the body as a whole—considering physical, mental, and emotional health—to achieve optimal wellness. Western Medicine vs. Functional Medicine: We discuss the key differences between Western medicine and functional medicine. Lacy highlights how functional medicine uses low-risk interventions, such as nutrition, movement, and stress management, to modify cellular and molecular systems before considering medication. This approach emphasizes holistic healing and long-term wellness. Understanding the Terminology: With so many terms like holistic, integrative, and functional medicine being thrown around, Lacy helps clarify the differences. She explains that while all these practices fall under the umbrella of alternative medicine, integrative medicine combines traditional and natural approaches, while holistic and functional medicine focus on treating the whole body, not just specific symptoms. The Functional Medicine Process: Lacy walks us through her process when working with clients. She emphasizes the importance of starting with small, sustainable changes and incorporating psychological work before diving into blood work and physical changes. Lacy shares how this approach not only helps identify root causes but also empowers clients to take control of their health journey. Building a Support Team: We talk about the importance of having a care team, which includes not just a functional medicine coach but also a primary care physician, chiropractor, dietitian, and personal trainer. Lacy explains how these professionals can work together to support optimal wellness and why having a team is crucial for long-term health. The Role of Discipline and Habit-Building: Lacy shares how bu

We’ve known each other since 2018 when our families were on staff at the same church, and we quickly bonded over our mutual love for business and wellness. Lacy is not only a follower of Jesus, a wife, and a mom of three, but she’s also a functional medicine health and nutrition coach who has battled her own autoimmune health issues. In this episode, we cover: Lacy’s Health Journey: Lacy shares her story of overcoming health challenges, from childhood kidney surgeries to her husband Caleb’s battle with leukemia. She talks about how these experiences propelled her into the world of health and nutrition and led her to explore and eventually embrace functional medicine. Creating a Culture of Health at Home: Lacy discusses the importance of educating her children about nutrition and how she and her husband incorporate healthy habits into their daily lives. From cooking with the kids to making health a fun and engaging topic at home, Lacy emphasizes the significance of involving the whole family in the journey to wellness. The Role of Faith in Wellness: Lacy explains how her faith drives her commitment to health. She believes that we are called to steward our bodies well so that we can fulfill God’s purpose in our lives. This belief not only shapes how she approaches her own health but also how she coaches others to do the same. Functional Medicine and Individualized Care: Lacy gives us an insight into her work as a functional medicine coach, focusing on how she tailors her approach to each individual’s unique needs. She highlights the importance of finding the root cause of health issues rather than just addressing symptoms and how this approach can lead to optimal wellness. The Power of Education and Empowerment: Lacy shares her passion for helping women achieve those “light bulb moments” where they truly understand their health and begin to take ownership of their wellness journey. She talks about the joy of seeing her clients not just follow instructions but develop the confidence to make informed decisions about their health. Key Takeaways: Health is not just about preventing disease; it’s about achieving optimal wellness. Nutrition plays a crucial role in our overall health, and it’s important to educate ourselves and our families about the choices we make. Our faith can guide us in how we care for our bodies, seeing it as a form of stewardship and obedience to God. Functional medicine offers a p

9. Slaying Shame & Increasing Your Physical and Mental Capacity: a Faith-Fueled Journey
Free 5 Day Fitness, Faith & Fuel Challenge: https://www.shaeladaugherty.com/5-day-faith-fitness-devo In today’s episode is one that’s deeply personal and essential for every woman walking a health and fitness journey. We’re talking about slaying shame and increasing our physical and mental capacity . If you’ve ever felt not enough, wrestled with fear, or let shame hold you back, this episode is for you. In this episode, we explore: The Power of Isaiah 61:7: We dive into the beautiful truth that instead of shame, we can receive a double portion and everlasting joy. This verse reminds us that we don’t have to live in dishonor or fear—we can rejoice in the lot the Lord has given us. How Shame Manifests in Our Lives: I share a personal story of how a simple text message from a friend triggered feelings of shame and inadequacy. Instead of seeing it as a blessing, I initially saw it as a reminder of all the ways I wasn’t enough. But through prayer and scripture, I was reminded that Christ slays our shame and replaces it with joy. The Role of Fitness in Overcoming Shame: Fitness isn’t just about physical transformation; it’s a powerful platform for spiritual growth. I talk about how strength training helped me push past my comfort zones, both physically and mentally, and how it gave me the confidence to step into who God has called me to be. Increasing Capacity through Christ: For months, I prayed that the Lord would increase my capacity, knowing that 2023 would be a busy season. Through this process, I’ve learned that while I may be stretched thin, it’s not a sign of failure. Instead, it’s an opportunity for sanctification—growing in Christ and becoming more like Him. Stepping Out of Your Comfort Zone: Whether you’re dealing with feelings of inadequacy, fear of failure, or the weight of expectations, I encourage you to step out of your comfort zone. Fitness is a tool that can help you build the mental and emotional toughness needed to pursue the life God has called you to live. Key Scriptures Discussed: Isaiah 61:7 – "Instead of your shame, there shall be a double portion. Instead of dishonor, they shall rejoice in their lot..." Romans 5:4-6 – "And endurance produces character, and character produces hope. And hope does not put us to shame..." Final Takeaway: You are not defined by your shame or the fear of not being enough. You are called to step into the woman God has made you to be, and through faith, fitness, and mental toughness, you can do just that. Fitness isn’t

6. Your Body is Limited and That's NOT a Bad Thing: Why Our Limitations Are a Blessing in Our Faith and Fitness Journey
Discover Your Custom Faith-Based Fitness Quiz: https://www.shaeladaugherty.com/faithworkoutquiz Today we’re diving into a profound truth that will transform the way you view your health and fitness journey. We’re talking about how God’s limitless nature is a gift, and how our own limitations as humans are equally important in keeping us humble and reliant on Him. In this episode, we explore: Ephesians 3:20-21 – God's Limitless Power: We’ll unpack how only God can do the impossible, accomplishing far more than we can ever ask or imagine. This passage reminds us of God’s infinite nature, showing us why it’s vital to acknowledge His power in our lives, especially in our health and wellness journey. 2 Corinthians 4:16 – Embracing Our Human Limitations: We’ll discuss why our finite, limited bodies are actually a blessing. Our daily physical limitations are a reminder that we are not God, which keeps us grounded and focused on relying on Him for strength and guidance. The Fitness Industry's Message vs. Biblical Truth: I’ll dissect how the fitness industry often preys on our insecurities, pushing the narrative that we need to look a certain way or achieve unrealistic goals. We’ll contrast this with the truth of Scripture, which teaches us that our bodies, even with their limitations, are good and made by God for His glory. Why Limitations Aren’t Failures: Many of us view our physical limitations as failures, but today we’ll reframe that mindset. I’ll explain why limitations are not just acceptable but necessary for spiritual growth and why they should drive us to deeper dependence on God rather than on ourselves. The Danger of Overreaching: We’ll explore the cultural pressure to push past our limits and how this often leads to injury or a sense of failure. Instead, we’ll focus on how to honor God within the boundaries He has set for us, understanding that pushing too hard can lead us away from His purpose. Striving for Health Within God’s Design: I’ll share practical ways to pursue physical health and fitness that align with honoring God’s design for our bodies. This includes recognizing when it’s time to push through discomfort for growth and when it’s time to rest and acknowledge our limitations. Final Takeaway: Remember, our bodies are a daily reminder that we are not God, and that’s a good thing! As you pursue health and fitness, let your limitations drive you to trust in the One who is truly limitless. Get comfortable being uncomfortable—because that’s where growth happens, both physically and spiritually. But always keep in mind that true strength comes

That’s why I’m here to help you break down the complexities of consistency and show you how to create sustainable rhythms tailored to your unique season.

Practical Tips for Creating Fitness Rhythms: Learn how to assess your current season of life and set realistic fitness and nutrition goals. I’ll introduce you to the concept of using a "dial" to adjust your efforts based on what you can realistically achieve—whether that’s a 10-minute workout or a full hour-long session. Embracing the Ebb and Flow: Discover why it’s okay to dial back your efforts during challenging times and how doing so can actually help you stay consistent in the long run. I’ll also encourage you to give yourself grace and permission to go at your own pace without guilt.

In this episode, we’ll explore why simplicity and consistency matter so much in your health journey, especially in a culture that pushes quick fixes and extreme workouts. Here’s what you’ll learn: The Problem with the Fitness Industry: The fitness industry is a multi-billion dollar giant because it preys on our weaknesses, making us believe we need all the things to achieve the perfect body or perfect health. I’ll break down why these messages are misleading and why there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to Christian health and fitness. Why Simplicity and Consistency are Vital: Discover why adopting simple, consistent habits is far more effective than extreme, short-term efforts. We’ll discuss how these habits build a sustainable, lifelong approach to Christian weight loss, fitness, and overall health. The Yo-Yo Effect and How to Avoid It: If you’ve ever been caught in the cycle of going all-in on an intense workout program only to burn out and quit, you’re not alone. I’ll explain how to break free from the yo-yo exercising or dieting cycle by starting small and staying consistent. Practical Tips for a Consistent Fitness Routine: I’ll share actionable steps to help you create a simple and sustainable fitness routine. Whether it’s starting with just two workout sessions per week or learning to be okay with shorter, less intense workouts, these tips will help you stay consistent no matter what season of life you’re in. Faith-Based Fitness and Your Spiritual Journey: Just like your walk with Christ requires consistent time in the Word and prayer, your health journey requires consistent, small actions. I’ll draw parallels between spiritual growth and physical health, showing how your faith can empower your fitness journey. Final Takeaway: Consistency will always outweigh motivation and intensity. You don’t need to be perfect or wait for the right circumstances to start working on your health.

2. How God Made Your Body Good: Understanding Purpose in Fitness and Nutrition
Fitness Faith & Fuel Challenge (5 days of devotionals): https://www.shaeladaugherty.com/5-day-faith-fitness-devo In today’s episode of the Move Your Body Differently podcast, we’re diving deep into scripture to explore the profound truth that God made our bodies good, on purpose, and for a purpose. Understanding this can radically change the way you view your health and fitness, turning exercise and healthy eating from a burden into a joyful act of worship. Here’s what we’ll cover: Scriptural Foundation: We begin with Genesis 1:31, where God saw everything He had made, including humans, and declared it "very good." This foundational truth challenges us to see our bodies through God’s eyes—as creations that are inherently good, made with intentionality. Personal Reflection: I share a personal story from my childhood that highlights how early insecurities about our bodies can shape our beliefs and behaviors. We’ll discuss how to trace these beliefs back to their roots and replace them with the truth of God’s Word. Theology of the Body: We’ll explore how your view of God (your theology) directly impacts how you view your body. When we believe that God is good and that He made our bodies good, it changes how we approach fitness, nutrition, and overall wellness. Instead of seeing these as obligations, they become opportunities to honor God with our bodies. Practical Application: You’ll be encouraged to reflect on how you can reshape your mindset to see your body the way God intended. What small choices can you make today to honor the body He gave you? We’ll also discuss how strength training, nutrition, and healthy living are ways to live out this belief in your daily life. Final Challenge: Consider how you can start seeing your body as good, just as God intended. Reflect on what small changes you can make today in your fitness and nutrition routines that align with this truth.
