I’ll teach you how to break out of diet culture and get to your goal weight so you can stop hiding and start thriving as the confident, energetic, and playful woman God created you to be. Hi, I’m Kelsey Wickenhauser, Physician Assistant turned Christian health coach. It’s my greatest passion to help women just like you live freely from the battle against the scale. After all, God has a greater purpose for you than wasting all those precious thoughts on your weight! I’ve spent over a decade helping women lose weight in a clinical setting and my patients rarely had lasting change. ’It wasn’t until I created a formula for losing weight that these women could experience transformational results. The secret? Bringing God into the equation so these women could learn to heal from the ’why’ behind their weight loss struggle.’ The best part? It’s not complicated or difficult to follow. In fact, it’s so simple that it probably seems too good to be true. And I can’t wait to share it with you! ’If you’re ready to lose weight for the last time without counting macros, feel amazing enough in your own skin to stand in the center of family pictures, and to understand why you struggle in the first place...this podcast is for you.

Hi Fit Mom!
In this episode of Kingdom Fit Moms, we explore the importance of scheduling your meals, especially when you're on a journey to better health and weight management. We discuss how adopting a structured approach to eating can bring numerous benefits, from eliminating decision fatigue to avoiding emotional eating triggers.
In This Episode:
Why Schedule Your Meals: We delve into the significance of incorporating meal schedules into our daily lives, emphasizing the role of rhythms and consistency in fostering successful weight management.
Mastering Food Planning: Learn how scheduling your meals can help you gain control over what you eat, reduce decision fatigue, and prevent impulsive choices that hinder your weight loss goals.
The Pitfalls of Intermittent Fasting (IF): Discover why intermittent fasting might not be the best starting point for everyone, especially if you struggle with emotional or binge eating.
The Power of Diligence: We explore the wisdom behind being diligent with your food choices, how to create realistic meal plans, and why foundations of structure are essential for long-term success.
Scripture Highlight: "Proverbs 21:5 - The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance, but everyone who is hasty comes only to poverty."
How to Put Your Food on a Schedule:
The simplest approach: 3 meals and 2 snacks.
Incorporate leftovers for lunch to reduce decision fatigue.
Choose high-quality, easy breakfast options.
Prioritize real foods and include quality protein and healthy fats to stay fuller for longer.
Set a predetermined time to eat, allowing you to eliminate in-the-moment decision-making.
Takeaway:
Consider trying meal scheduling for a week or even just three days. Experience the clarity and control it can bring to your eating habits. By reducing the need for constant decisions, you empower your long-term thinking brain to set you up for success in your health journey.

Creating a Movement: Uncover the vision of a movement where women awaken to joy, shed excess weight, and break free from the dieting cycle, stepping into a new season of abundance.

In this episode, these were my key takeaways:
Embracing ARISE means not just standing physically but also originating a healthier, thriving existence.

Scripture provides a foundation for ARISE by highlighting the call to radiate God's glory through our lives.
