In Part 2 of this conversation, we’re clarifying an important distinction: chronic undereating that leads to biological binge responses is not the same as biblical gluttony.Gluttony is a heart issue — replacing our need for God with food.But many women are not struggling because they love food too much.They’re struggling because they’ve been under-fueling their bodies for years.In this episode, Rachel unpacks:The difference between gluttony and biological survival responsesWhat chronic calorie restriction does to hormones and metabolismWhy restriction often backfires for fat lossWhat reverse dieting is and how it worksWhy slowly increasing calories can restore metabolic trustHow maintenance phases actually support long-term fat lossWhy reverse dieting can be a worshipful act of stewardshipIf you’ve believed the lie that you must restrict forever to see results, this episode will reframe everything.What You’ll LearnWhy gluttony and biological binge cycles are not the same thingHow leptin, ghrelin, cortisol, and thyroid hormones respond to chronic dietingSigns your metabolism may be suppressedWhy eating more strategically can reduce binge urgesHow reverse dieting increases metabolic capacityWhy maintenance is not failure — it’s foundationalHow to cycle between maintenance and deficit wiselyScripture Referenced1 Corinthians 6:19–20“Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you… You are not your own, for you were bought with a price.

Binging is often misunderstood as a discipline problem—but in reality, it’s frequently a biological response to chronic undereating.

Sugar isn’t sinful. Artificial sweeteners aren’t automatically better. But confusion around both is keeping many women stuck—especially in midlife.In this episode, we’re having an honest, science-based conversation about sugar, insulin, and artificial sweeteners, and how your body actually responds to sweetness. This isn’t about shame, restriction, or cutting everything out forever. It’s about understanding the biology God designed so you can change habits with clarity instead of guilt.We’ll talk about why fat loss feels harder in perimenopause, how insulin controls fat storage, why “sugar-free” foods can still stall progress, and how artificial sweeteners affect your brain, gut, hormones, and cravings. You’ll also hear practical, realistic ways to reduce sugar and sweetness without extremes.In this episode, we cover:What sugar actually is and how it affects blood sugarThe role of insulin as a storage hormoneWhy chronically elevated insulin blocks fat lossWhy midlife women are more insulin-sensitiveHow artificial sweeteners signal the body like sugarWhy “calorie-free” doesn’t mean metabolically neutralThe impact of artificial sweeteners on cravings, brain, and gut healthCalories vs metabolic signalsBiblical wisdom on self-control and stewardshipPractical ways to reduce sugar and artificial sweeteners sustainablyKey Scriptures Mentioned:1 Corinthians 10:23Proverbs 25:28Galatians 5:22–23Key Takeaway:You don’t need to quit sugar forever. You don’t need “sugar-free” everything. When you understand how your body responds to sweetness, you’re free to make wiser choices without fear or guilt.Reflection Question:Where might clarity about how your body works help you release shame and build healthier habits?🎧 Listen now and be sure to subscribe—next we’re talking about fasting, metabolic flexibility, and stewardship without extremes.I am always love to connect with you!Don't hesitate to reach out!Personal Instagram: @racheljmitchellPodcast Instagram:  @livingonmissionpodEmail: [email protected] my 21 Day Metabolic Reset 

Alcohol isn’t “bad” — but it does change how your body functions. In this first episode of 2026, we’re having an honest, science-based conversation about what alcohol actually does inside the body, how it affects fat loss (especially for midlife women), and why understanding the biology behind our habits empowers real change.This is not a debate about right vs. wrong — but excess has consequences both physically and spiritually. We’ll unpack how alcohol impacts metabolism, hormones, sleep, recovery, and your body’s natural ability to burn fat.I’m also sharing why I’m personally committing to six weeks without alcohol or sugar, how Scripture calls us to be sober-minded and alert, and practical ways to reduce or replace alcohol without guilt or extremes.In this episode, you’ll learn:What alcohol actually is (from a biological standpoint)Why alcohol immediately pauses fat burningHow alcohol affects hormones, cortisol, and insulinWhy fat loss feels harder in perimenopauseThe difference between calorie math and metabolic realityWhat Scripture means by being “sober-minded and alert”Practical, realistic tips to limit or give up alcoholHow understanding science helps us change habits long-termKey Scriptures Mentioned:1 Peter 5:81 Thessalonians 5:6Titus 2:11–12Reflection Question:Where might understanding the why behind your habits help you steward your body with more wisdom and less guilt?🎧 Listen now and share this episode with a friend who wants clarity, not confusion.I am always love to connect with you!Don't hesitate to reach out!Personal Instagram: @racheljmitchellPodcast Instagram:  @livingonmissionpodEmail: [email protected] my 21 Day Metabolic Reset

Scripture Focus: Daniel 1:8 — “But Daniel resolved that he would not defile himself…”Daniel made a decision in his heart that his body—and what he fueled it with—would honor God. His discipline wasn’t just spiritual; it sharpened his mind, preserved his clarity, and gave him wisdom beyond his peers.In this episode, I’m encouraging Christian women to pursue that same kind of resolve. We are called to steward our bodies so we can think clearly, make wise decisions, and show up strong for our families, communities, and God’s calling.I also share insights from Charlie Kirk’s health habits. Friends and family have said he wanted to be the healthiest he could be so he had energy for his mission and for his family. His intentional rest, clean anti-inflammatory diet, and mindful choices helped preserve his mental clarity and focus—reminding us that physical health supports spiritual and cognitive strength.What you’ll learn in this episode:Why stable blood sugar and clean, God-designed foods improve energy, mood, and decision-makingHow building strength supports hormones, metabolism, and cognitive focusThe role of rest and Sabbath rhythms in reducing stress and enhancing clarityWhy your why—your purpose in Christ—keeps you consistent and motivated✨ Friend, this is more than fat loss or exercise.

In this episode, I open up and share my own salvation story—how God rescued me and gave me new life in Christ. Moments like the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk remind us that life is short, tomorrow isn’t promised, and eternity is real. But we cannot let this be just a one-time emotional catalyst. My prayer is that we carry the fire for Christ and the urgency for the salvation of others with us every single day.I promised to include the Roman Road to Salvation—a clear and powerful way to understand and share the gospel:Romans 3:23 – “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”Romans 6:23 – “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”Romans 5:8 – “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”Romans 10:9–10 – “If you declare with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.”Romans 10:13 – “For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”We are called to live with eternity on our hearts. The gospel is not just good news—it is urgent news. My encouragement to you is this: don’t wait for a national tragedy, a loss, or a wake-up call to stir your boldness. Share Christ now, love people enough to point them to salvation, and live surrendered to His mission.If you’ve never made the decision to follow Jesus, I invite you to pray, believe, and surrender your life to Him today. And if you’re already walking with Him, ask for fresh courage and boldness to share your faith with your family, your friends, and even strangers who need the hope of Christ.Let’s not waste this moment. Let’s keep the fire burning.I am always love to connect with you!Don't hesitate to reach out!Personal Instagram: @racheljmitchellPodcast Instagram:  @livingonmissionpodEmail: [email protected] my 21 Day Metabolic Reset 

How many times have you told yourself, “I’m just giving myself grace”—right after overeating or slipping into old habits? As Christian women, we know grace is one of the most beautiful gifts God has given us. But sometimes, we misplace it. Grace was never meant to excuse sin or keep us stuck in unhealthy cycles. Instead, it’s meant to lift us up and empower us to walk in righteousness.In today’s episode, I’m sharing encouragement and scripture to help you keep grace in its proper place—strength for the journey, not a license for gluttony. Together we’ll look at what God’s Word says about grace, how to recognize when we’re using it as an excuse, and how to let grace lead us into freedom, wholeness, and health.What you’ll learn in this episode:✨ The difference between true grace and cheap excuses✨ Why Romans 5:20 and Romans 6:1–2 remind us grace is not permission to keep sinning✨ How to invite conviction without slipping into condemnation✨ Practical ways to let grace guide your health journey toward strength and holinessScriptures mentioned:Romans 5:20Romans 6:1–2Hebrews 12:11Psalm 23:3Let’s Connect:💌 If today’s episode encouraged you, share it with a friend who needs this reminder.I am always love to connect with you!Don't hesitate to reach out!Personal Instagram: @racheljmitchellPodcast Instagram:  @livingonmissionpodEmail: [email protected] my 21 Day Metabolic Reset

Ephesians 5:6 says, “Let no one deceive you with empty arguments.” And wow—don’t we see that all over the health and fitness world?Messages like:❌ “Perimenopause and menopause have to suck.”❌ “This supplement is the only way you’ll survive this season.”❌ “The shot is the only way to finally lose weight.”These are nothing but empty arguments that keep women fearful, frustrated, and chasing quick fixes.But God has a better plan. His Word reminds us that our bodies were created with purpose and that true healing, peace, and strength come when we align with His original design—not the enemy’s lies or the world’s marketing tactics.In this episode, I’m encouraging you to:✨ Discern truth from deception.✨ Stop believing every health headline or flashy promise.✨ Anchor yourself in God’s wisdom for how your body was designed to work.When we stop chasing empty promises and start walking in God’s truth, we not only steward our health better—we find peace, freedom, and strength that no “fix” can offer.Let’s stop being deceived by the noise of the world and instead tune our hearts to the voice of the One who designed us.I am always love to connect with you!Don't hesitate to reach out!Personal Instagram: @racheljmitchellPodcast Instagram:  @livingonmissionpodEmail: [email protected] my 21 Day Metabolic Reset 

Ephesians 4:30 reminds us: “And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.”As followers of Christ, we carry the Holy Spirit with us into every part of life—our work, our relationships, even our health and fitness. That truth is both a comfort and a conviction. If God’s Spirit is always with me, am I living in a way that honors Him?In today’s episode, I share how this verse challenges me personally to examine my daily habits, choices, and thought patterns. From the way I care for my body to the way I respond under stress, I want to live with a heart that pleases Him—not one that pushes Him aside.When we recognize the Spirit’s presence, it changes everything.

Ephesians 4:24 says, “Put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.” This isn’t a one-time decision—it’s a daily act of surrender.

So much of our health and fitness journey isn’t about food or workouts—it’s about our mindset.

Ephesians 4:20–21 reminds us: “That, however, is not the way of life you learned when you heard about Christ and were taught in Him in accordance with the truth that is in Jesus.”Sister, this passage calls us to take a hard look at what doesn’t line up with Christ—and name it. Whether it’s fear, comparison, overeating, self-hatred, or shame, you have the authority in Jesus to say: “____ is not the way of life I learned in Christ.”In this episode, I’ll challenge you to fill in that blank for yourself and surrender it to God.

You’ve been included.

Welcome back to our August series, Rooted in Ephesians.Today we’re pausing with Ephesians 1:7–10, where Paul writes:“In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace that He lavished on us. With all wisdom and understanding, He made known to us the mystery of His will... to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ.”These verses are a stunning reminder that your salvation wasn’t cheap. It was bought with the blood of Jesus. He didn’t just redeem your soul—He redeemed your story, your struggles, your body, your entire life.And when we truly grasp that—when we understand the weight and wonder of being redeemed—it changes how we live today. We no longer use our bodies out of shame, punishment, or neglect. We use them as a form of worship.We eat, move, rest, and care for ourselves not to earn anything, but in response to everything we've already been given in Christ.💭 Reflection Question:Does your current relationship with food and your body reflect gratitude for your redemption—or guilt and striving?💬 Truth to Speak Over Yourself:“I am redeemed. I worship God not just with my words, but with my body and choices.”🙏 Prayer Prompt:“Jesus, thank You for redeeming me fully and completely. Help me live from that truth today—aligning my choices, my habits, and my health with Your grace, not my guilt.”📌 Don’t Miss This Month:Be sure to subscribe so you never miss these weekday encouragements in Ephesians—and if this episode spoke to you, share it with a friend who’s learning to worship God in both spirit and stewardship.I am always love to connect with you!Don't hesitate to reach out!Personal Instagram: @racheljmitchellPodcast Instagram:  @livingonmissionpodEmail: [email protected] my 21 Day Metabolic Reset

You were not an afterthought. You’re not invisible. You’re not trying out for God's approval like you're in some kind of spiritual audition.Before you ever performed, succeeded, failed, or fell apart—He had already said, “She’s mine.”Today’s episode is a reminder that your value is not in your productivity, your body, or your ability to keep it all together. Your value is in Christ. Full stop.💭 Reflection Question:Are you trying to earn something God has already freely given you?💬 Truth to Speak Over Yourself:“I am chosen, holy, and loved.”🙏 Prayer Prompt:“Lord, thank You for choosing me—not because of what I’ve done, but because of who You are.
