"So...what do YOU eat, Chelsea?" "Are you allowed to eat that on your diet?" "Doesn't the Bible say you can only have vegetables and water?"

^^I get asked variations of these questions quite often. Bible-based nutrition is a niche topic, so I'm not surprised!

In this episode, I'm explaining exactly how I approach food & meals as a Biblical Nutritionist who wants to maximize: ✅ health ✅ simplicity ✅ consistency ✅ confidence

If you're curious about what it truly means to eat according to God's prescription for ultimate food freedom, don't miss this one!

I don't know about you, but I *despise* meal prepping that takes an entire day... I mean, my day off should be for relaxing! Not for slaving away in the kitchen.

😰 However, NOT prepping meals for the busy work week is a recipe for convenience food and impulsive choices, which we both know aren't serving our bigger health and body goals.

In today's episode, I'm giving you 3 of my favorite go-to meal prep ideas that have saved me so much time, money, and effort when I need to whip up something healthy, but don't have a ton of time or energy.

📌 *SAVE* this one for future you to listen back on when you need ideas and inspiration!

Today's episode is a special one. I'm joined by Celeste, a young professional woman who had tried several diet plans in the past, always left feeling stuck and confused by mixed messages. 👉 She joined The Sustainable Way, my 1:1 nutrition coaching program based on a friend's referral, and ended up losing over 30 pounds with basically ZERO exercise (due to a debilitating hip injury).

What's more, her positive lifestyle changes have influenced her parents' way of eating, AND all her bloodwork has significantly improved.

Celeste has never been more confident - not only in her body, but in her knowledge of how to actually feed it. No more confusion. She knows what works for HER.

Listen all the way through to catch Celeste's words of wisdom on how you can do it, too! And let her testimony be your friend referral 😉
