208 | "Eat Less, Move More" Is Hurting Your Fertility: A Faith-Based Approach to Nourishment

If you've ever tried to "fix" your body by eating less and working out harder, this conversation is for you. I'm joined by Coryn Brown and Crysanne Clay, the mother-daughter coaching team behind Her Healthy Body, who spent years caught in diet culture before God showed them a completely different way to care for their bodies.

We talk about how restriction and over-exercise can burn out your hormones and make ovulation harder, what truly nourishing your body looks like, and why 15 minutes of strength training may do more for you than an hour of cardio. Most of all, we talk about inviting God into the everyday decisions of what we eat and how we move — not out of punishment, but out of purpose.

Content note: this episode includes a guest's personal story of disordered eating.

Episode Highlights:

• How a mother and daughter fell into diet culture together — and found their way out with God
• Why undereating and constant cardio can lower estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone and disrupt ovulation
• The moment skinny stopped being the goal and purpose took its place
• Why protein and fiber matter at every meal — and the trouble with processed "health" foods
• Simple, doable ways to eat more whole foods in a busy season
• Why daily movement and short strength sessions support your hormones and blood sugar
• Telling your body "I'm safe": encouragement for the woman who feels broken
