I hope you are ready for some candid conversations about aging today. I had so much fun with Heather Creekmore bemoaning some of the aspects of aging, and then pivoting that around and talking about how we can be grateful at the same time. Heather and I are just a few months apart and we talk about some of the surprising effects of aging, choosing praise rather than despair about our aging bodies, and how we have both been humbled as we have gotten older.We discuss:Her biggest surprise of agingHow choosing praise with frustrations of aging can help our heart and mindThings we forget to be grateful for as we ageGet your copy of Aging Gratefully here.Connect with Heather:Compared to Who PodcastImproveBodyImage.comInstagram: @comparedtowhoSupport the Show.Receive my free monthly journal full of food, fitness, faith, fun & moreConnect with Amy: GracedHealth.comJoin the Graced Health community on Facebook!

On March 17, 2020 I released an episode I was so grateful to have and had been wanting to have. Counselor Christina Chismar joined me to talk about raising our daughters with a healthy body image.Well, as you can imagine, on that date we were collectively distracted and trying to figure out the new normal. It was such an important conversation to have, and I've referenced it several time. Because I'm releasing my new book for teen girls on April 24, 2024 I thought this would be a good time to (re)play it.Whether you've heard it before or not, I think you'll appreciate the wisdom Christina brings.

If I haven’t said it lately, I am so grateful for the opportunity and privilege to be able to do this. Being a podcast host allows me to connect with and learn from some of the best. It also is a conduit for putting me in touch with people I probably wouldn’t have connected with otherwise, but I’m so glad I did.My conversation today is with Zach Lloyd. As you know we rarely have male guests on and I don’t think any of them have been in their early 30s. However, don't let his age fool you. He is wise, authentic and vulnerable and I appreciated his full transparency about his story. He shares how he almost lost his life to alcohol and hard drugs and then his journey into health and fitness but found himself in unhealthy patterns like binge eating.I think you’ll find his wisdom and brave storytelling compelling and if you have binge-eating tendencies you’ll appreciate the guidance he has. We also talk about the shame of binge eating and his anti-diet approach to helping people who struggle with weight and body image called food freedom, your transformation.WE DISCUSS:Zach’s terrifying story of drug and alcohol abuseHis evolution into fitness trainingHis binge-eating storyThe three-step process he offers to heal from binge eatingZach Lloyd is an Anti-Diet coach, speaker, and owner of Lift Life Fitness gym. He gives credit to God's Grace, basketball, and heavy weights in saving him from nearly losing his life to drugs and alcohol abuse. He's been coaching for over 11 years building skillsets in every area associated with physical and mental fitness. He is driven to help others find meaning and fulfillment in suffering through fitness.Connect with Zach:www.ZachLloydCoaching.comInstagram: @zachlloydcoachingFacebook: ZachLloydCoachingX: @CoachZachLloydYouTubeSupport the Show.Receive my free monthly journal full of food, fitness, faith, fun & moreConnect with Amy: GracedHealth.comJoin the Graced Health community on Facebook!
