Do you wish you could lose your belly fat for good and fit into your favourite clothes better? Do you want to reduce your appetite and kill carb cravings? Do you long for more energy throughout the day to play with your grandkids, keep your home in order, serve in your ministry AND have time for prayer? Do you want to detox and heal to become stronger in your walk with the Lord?  My mission in this podcast is to help Christians who desire a full and fruitful life in the Lord to reclaim their energy, refine their body and restore their health, so they can live more fully in their God-given power. Hi, I’m Laura Hargrave (formerly Rimmer). A Christian, Master Certified Nutritionist & Best-Selling Author. For over 25 years I’ve studied the science of weight loss and natural healing, and coached thousands of people to better health.  I went from overweight smoker at university, to wearing myself out as a vegan ultra-marathon runner in my 30s, to finally listening to God’s wisdom for health and becoming truly vibrant and lean in my late 40s with low carb and keto, and a ‘less is more’ Biblical approach. Friend, I made it through all the mistakes and deceptions out there and have finally found peaceful, joyful, easeful health - in body, mind and spirit and that’s what I’ll share with you in this podcast.  So take a few moments now to grow in your knowledge & wisdom, to benefit you for years to come.

50 | My God-Led Story and Labour of Love in Helping You Lose Weight and Heal
Have you ever wondered if there might be a more Biblical approach to health than simply dieting, taking more medication or hoping things improve on their own? Would you love to know why I now work primarily with Christians and what drives everything I teach? And if you've ever thought, "I wish someone could simply show me what actually works," then I think you'll really enjoy this episode. In this episode, I'm sharing my personal story of how the Lord led me from working with anyone who wanted nutritional coaching to creating a Christ-centred health ministry focused on equipping believers to lose weight, reclaim their energy and steward their health well. I'll explain the journey behind Health for Life, the mandate I believe God gave me, why simplicity is one of the biggest keys to lasting health and why I believe it's never too late to turn your health around. Whether you're struggling with stubborn weight, low energy, poor metabolic health or simply want to honour God with your body more faithfully, I hope this episode encourages you and gives you hope for the journey ahead. In this episode: My journey from Nutritionist to Christian health coach Why I completely changed the way I coach people The God-given vision behind Health for Life The connection between health, stewardship and spiritual discernment Why most people overcomplicate healthy living The "12 huskies pulling the sled" analogy that changes how you'll think about health Why it's never too late to improve your health An invitation to join me inside Health for Life Resources, Links Mentioned 👉 Health for Life – 6 Month Programme for Christians to Heal, Thrive & Restore Metabolic Health → https://healthinfaith.com/hfl 🎁 FREE 4-Step Christian Body Reset Guide → https://healthinfaith.com/guide 📩 Contact & Questions → https://www.healthinfaith.com/contact Episode blog post and resources → https://healthinfaith.com/2026/06/27/christian-weight-loss-story-health-for-life/  If this episode encouraged you, be sure to subscribe to the podcast, leave a review, and share it with a Christian friend who feels stuck in their health journey.

49 | The Best Weight Loss Diet Approach for Christians Over 50
Have you ever lost weight successfully... only to gain it back again? Do you feel like every weight loss diet works for a few weeks until hunger, cravings and real life eventually catch up with you? Do you go between the frustration of control and willpower for a day or so then splurge and stuffedness - never really making any true weight loss progress consistently? There's hope my friend, and it's another way! In this episode, I'm sharing what I believe is the best weight loss diet approach for Christians over 50. We'll explore why so many diets fail, the surprising difference between fullness and nourishment, and how choosing foods that are high in volume, protein and nutrients can help you lose weight without feeling constantly hungry. You'll discover why satiety may be one of the most overlooked secrets to sustainable weight loss and how to work with your body instead of fighting against it. If you're tired of dieting, tired of cravings and tired of starting over every January, this episode will help you approach weight loss from a completely different perspective. In this episode: • Why most weight loss diets fail in the long run • The difference between fullness and true satisfaction • How volume eating can make weight loss easier • The problem with empty calories • Protein, hunger and cravings • Why nutrient density matters for metabolic health • The overlooked power of satiety • A more sustainable approach to weight loss after 50 Resources, Links Mentioned 🎁 FREE 4-Step Christian Body Reset Guide → https://healthinfaith.com/guide 👉 Health for Life – 6 Month Programme for Christians to Heal, Thrive & Restore Metabolic Health → https://healthinfaith.com/hfl 📩 Contact & Questions → https://www.healthinfaith.com/contact If this episode encouraged you, be sure to subscribe to the podcast, leave a review, and share it with a Christian friend who feels stuck in their health journey.

48 | Boosting Energy Naturally — Why Coffee Isn't Fixing the Real Problem…And What to Do Instead
Have you ever finished a cup of coffee and realised you're still waiting for the energy to arrive? Do you find yourself relying on caffeine just to get through the day, only to crash again a few hours later? And what if the real problem isn't that you need more stimulation—but that your body is struggling to produce energy in the first place? In this episode, I'm sharing why coffee isn't fixing the real problem behind fatigue, brain fog, low motivation and energy crashes. We'll explore the difference between feeling awake and actually having energy, why blood sugar instability can leave you running on empty, how poor recovery quietly drains your reserves, and why healthy metabolism is about far more than weight loss. Most importantly, you'll discover practical steps you can take to start boosting energy naturally by supporting the body's energy-producing systems rather than simply masking the symptoms.

Do you feel frustrated watching other women seem to lose weight more easily while your own body appears to be fighting you every step of the way? And what if menopause weight gain isn't really about eating too much at all? In this episode, I'm sharing why eating less often stops working during menopause and the seven hidden factors that may be keeping your body stuck. We'll explore the surprising role of muscle loss, blood sugar problems, chronic stress, nutrient deficiencies and metabolic health, and why simply cutting calories may be making things harder rather than easier.

If you've been feeling discouraged by stubborn belly fat, low energy, cravings or menopause weight gain despite doing "all the right things," this episode will help you understand what may really be happening beneath the surface. In this episode: • Why eating less can sometimes slow progress rather than accelerate it • The surprising link between muscle loss and menopause weight gain • How blood sugar problems can drive cravings, fatigue and belly fat • Why chronic stress may be keeping your body in fat-storage mode • The nutrient deficiencies many women don't realise they have • Why menopause often reveals existing metabolic weaknesses • The mistake many women make when measuring progress • A more effective way to support your metabolism after 50 Ready to stop guessing and discover what's really keeping you stuck?
