Graced Health
For women who want simple and grace-filled ways to take care of herself and enjoy a little chocolate in the process. My name is Amy Connell. I'm a certified personal trainer who wants you to take a rest day and nutrition coach who wants you to enjoy dessert. I also want you to know your movement, eating, and body DON'T have to be perfect ... you just need to be able to do what you're called to do. Join me for faith-filled conversations with about our WHOLE health - body, mind, and spirit. And by the way, there's no BMI in the Bible, so leave your body image concerns at the door!

Today I'm sharing six research-backed and...

For the first time on the Graced Health podcast, I deep dive into a research article that challenges our perspectives on health and body diversity. Unpacking the findings and analyzing the data, I share what I learned about the behavioral, physical, and psychological impacts of weight-neutral strategies vs. the traditional weight loss focus.
