Weight Loss Blog
I didn't become a health coach because I had it all figured out. I became one because I didn't — and I refused to believe that was the end of the story.
This blog is where I share everything I've learned about Catholic weight loss, strength training, nutrition, virtues and the saints who walk this road with us.
I am so glad you are here.
How St. Augustine Can Help YOU Lose Weight
Feast Day: August 28 I want to introduce you to a saint who understood emotional eating long before anyone had a word for it. And he is on my mind so much lately. Not only did we just celebrate his feast day, but I am gong through St. Michael's Lent with Augustine's Confessions book on Hallow. A must-get app in my opinion. St. Augustine was born in 354 in Thagaste, a small town in North Africa, and he spent the first thirty-odd years of his life doing exactly what he knew
Why Women Over 50 Need Strength Training (The Science Your Doctor Probably Hasn’t Told You)
I want to talk about something that is not discussed nearly enough in women’s health conversations — and that is almost never mentioned in Catholic wellness spaces at all. Strength training is not optional for women over 50. It is essential. And I do not mean that in the wellness-influencer, you-should-really-try-this way.

5 Saints Who Can Help You Lose Weight (And How to Ask Them)
One of the most common questions I get from women who are new to my program is this: can I really ask the saints for help with something as ordinary as losing weight? Yes. Absolutely yes. The saints are not reserved for the dramatic moments — the health crisis, the grief, the impossible decision. They are our companions in the whole of life, including the ordinary, daily, unglamorous work of caring for the bodies God gave us. And some of them are extraordinarily well-suited t
St. Joan of Arc and the Courage to Start Over — Again
There is a moment that every woman in my program knows well. It is not the moment she decides to start. It is the moment — usually somewhere around Week 3 or Week 4 — when the novelty has worn off, the results are not visible yet, and everything in her says: what is even the point. That is the moment I always think of Joan of Arc. Who Was Joan of Arc? Joan of Arc was seventeen years old when she led the French army to victory at Orléans in 1429, turning the tide of a war that

What is Catholic Weight Loss?
If you found this page by searching "Catholic weight loss," welcome. You are in the right place — and I think you already know there has to be a better way. You have probably tried the diets. Maybe more than a few of them. You know what macros are. You have counted points, tracked calories, started over on Monday more times than you can count. And you are tired — not just of dieting, but of the whole exhausting cycle of trying and failing and wondering what is wrong with you.
