230. Ditch Diet Culture, Shame & Insecurity as you Redefine Beauty in Midlife with Melissa Johnson

Hey friend, let’s ditch diet culture, shame and insecurity as we redefine beauty in Midlife! My guest today is Melissa L. Johnson, a marriage and family therapist, as well as a spiritual director.   Melissa walked through her own challenges with an eating disorder and God has called her to help others not only with eating disorders or disordered eating but to encourage other women to stand boldly as faith fueled women. In a world saturated with diet culture, fake beauty, shame and feelings of unworthiness PLUS the toxic teachings of the cosmetic industry, Melissa encourages you to ditch the world focused shame and insecurity that is thrown at you and lean into what God says about you as His daughter. As we are beginning a new year with new marketing towards improving yourself the way the world thinks you should, I pray this is encouraging and gives you hope as you listen. You see it all the time: women are purposely being shown unrealistic and unhealthy images online, in commercials, in ads, magazines. This is nothing new but there more and more specific marketing targeted towards those of us in this midlife phase of life. Geared towards us covering up and masking up our true God given beauty and signs of a life lived as we are in this midlife season. I encourage you to lean into your true worth and recognize that you are a beautiful and a treasured possession in God’s eyes.  Recognize the lies of the enemy and when you are in the middle of a spiritual battle as it pertains to your looks, your beauty, your skin, your weight, your intelligence and so on. Seek God first for everything and rebuke the lies of the enemy.  Words have power my friend, so as you listen, ask the Lord to show you where you have been falling for lies and take some time to dig into what God says about you.  I pray this is a blessing and encouragement to you today!XO, Michelle ***Join our community, Holistic Health for Christian Women over 40, to be supported and encouraged as you work towards regaining energy and reclaiming your health! **Catch the Treasured Wellness Podcast on https://christianmix106.com/   YouTube  AND https://actsmediagroup.net/radio-free-america-internet-radio/ Related Episodes:  Ep. 217 Treasure your Midlife Wellness Ep. 228 A New Year WITH God Mindset Challenge

Reducing Toxic Inflammation: How the SHAPE Program Works

The SHAPE Program is a health transformation plan that is customized to meet your goals. To begin, reach out to me by clicking the link on my Services page to set up a call so we can have a meaningful conversation about your health challenges and long-term goals. When you are ready to get started, we will have an extended session to review your goals, go over a baseline  urinalysis, review your  SHAPE Drops and the SHAPE Program Guidebook. The SHAPE Program is organized into three phases: Phase I: Cleanse The purpose of Phase I is to cleanse   your body of toxins. During this phase, your brain chemistry will begin to balance, inflammation will decrease, and your immune system will begin to strengthen. If weight reduction is one of your goals, Phase I can also cleanse your body of excess weight. You will follow the SHAPE Nutrition Protocol, take the SHAPE Drops three times daily and meet regularly with me during Phase I. Phase I is a minimum of three weeks, but I do recommend staying in Phase I until you reach your health goals. Phase II: Stabilize The purpose of this phase is to stabilize your brain chemistry and metabolism. If you lost weight in Phase I, this phase is important for maintaining your new weight. You will stop taking the SHAPE Drops, begin reincorporating new foods and continue to meet with me during Phase II.  Phase II is exactly three weeks. Phase III: Live The purpose of Phase III is to use the knowledge you gained in the previous two phases to maintain a healthy lifestyle. You can start taking the SHAPE Drops again as a daily supplement to maintain optimal health. Phase III is making SHAPE a part of your everyday life. Ready to get YOUR transformation started? Read on for a recent testimonial for encouragement: Hi, my name is Tia, I am a 62-year-old woman who was desperate to get control of my cholesterol, without meds, and improve my overall health. In beginning this journey with the SHAPE ReClaimed Program and Michelle McCoy, my practitioner, I wasn’t sure what to expect but was hopeful to discover what was in store for me.   Not knowing how my life was going to change I followed the program and discovered ALL things ARE possible. In just a few short months I began to see overall energy, I was sleeping through the night, the inflammation in my body almost gone, and my cholesterol had dropped significantly.  Also, by the grace of God, the SHAPE program, and the coaching of Michelle, I am now completely off the anxiety meds I was taking. Through this time of focusing on mind, body, soul, and spirit I have a deeper relationship with God and a healthy eating lifestyle change that I will forever be grateful for. I truly hope you know that we are a gift from God and the best is yet to come because “You are a beautiful treasure.”  I borrowed that phrase from Michelle. What do you have to lose? Begin your own personal journey today! In great health, Michelle www.michelle@treasuredwellness.com
