Do you struggle with low energy and catch yourself reminiscing about when you were “young” and able to keep up? Are you overwhelmed by even having to THINK about what it’d take to lose weight? Do you mindlessly snack and give in to late night cravings? Are you bogged down by the shame that comes with knowing what to do, but not being able to get yourself to do it consistently? Do you feel like anything you try is bound to fail, so there’s no point in trying anyway? Friend, there’s HOPE! Hope to feel strong and confident in your body, to create consistency in your habits, to lose the weight, and to have clarity on how to partner with God to experience a healthy lifestyle that lasts! Hey, I’m Robin Rhine McDonald, a follower of Jesus, a wife, a mama of 2, and a seminarian turned health coach. And I am SO excited that you are here!! I found myself 20lbs heavier, struggling to keep my eyes open in the afternoons, with a face full of acne. I was confused as to how I ended up there, being that I worked out and felt like I ate fairly healthy. It seemed like no matter what I tried, I couldn’t create the results I wanted in a way that I could see myself maintaining long term. It wasn’t until I discovered the unlimited motivation and FREEDOM that exists in living according to God’s VISION for my life and health that I began to see changes. That is when I realized the most important thing to ever impact my life and health - If I wanted change, I had to partner with God! With God, I crafted a healthy lifestyle that led to ENERGY, healthy weight loss, and confidence in my body WITHOUT feeling overwhelmed or giving in to old patterns. 10 years and two kids later, by the GRACE OF GOD, I’m still prioritizing my health and feeling amazing. I’ve become gripped with the vision of seeing EVERY body that comprises the BODY of Christ healthy and well. In this podcast, I (and the guests I bring on) will show you how to: *Achieve the results you want and KEEP them *Implement simple healthy habits that you ENJOY that fit your busy schedule *Ditch the negative beliefs and lies that keep you from creating results that LAST *Take hold of Biblical health through truth and encouragement for healthy living *Learn what it means to have Kingdom health as a Christian woman *See the possibilities and opportunity of a healthy life in partnership with God *Make changes NOW that will set you up for energy and vitality later in life *Simplify cooking and preparing healthy meals and snacks for you and your family - that everyone LOVES *Learn which foods and meals increase energy and support healthy weight loss *Create endless motivation and drive for your health by aligning with God’s VISION for your life *Partner with God every step of the way! I mix my seminary education with my studies in integrative nutrition to help Jesus loving women, like YOU, develop the energy and vitality to live out their unique God-given calling! Go grab a giant water bottle and start sipping. It’s time to learn how to create the healthy lifestyle you’ve always wanted - with Jesus as the VISION that drives you. Hit play and listen on!

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
