Tara Josey, Nutrition Consultant, Certified Trainer
Feeling stuck chasing weight loss? Tired of obsessing, planning, and still running out of time? Struggling to stay consistent with exercise? Craving simple, healthy meals—but too overwhelmed to start? Wondering if you’ll ever figure this out on your own?
I am so grateful you are here! This podcast will help you finally reach your weight loss goals, find time in your day to exercise, spend time with Jesus and learn the tools you need to establish healthy meals on repeat!
Hey, I’m Tara. A wife, a mother, a fitness professional and a recovered obsessor of diet and exercise. For over 15 years, I struggled to reach my goal weight by using exercise and food restriction to get there.
I tried all the diets, exercised until my body would give out and spent more money than I want to admit on the next best diet.
I finally saw the light when I started focusing on the right things. Food as nutrition, exercise as medicine and a deeper relationship with Jesus that changed my opinion of who I am & what I look like.
I have been able to find a healthy lifestyle that works for me. A simple routine & handful of simple habits that I can be consistent with and have time for. A way of eating that I can enjoy life, without hopping into the next diet craze, exercising for my body to feel good and experiencing Jesus in a whole new way! And I’m ready to share it with you!
If you are finally ready to achieve your weight loss goal and get healthier physically and spiritually……
Learn nutrition strategies to save you time, get back your energy & finally lose weight.
Follow simple proven methods, instead of complicated diets or exhausting routines.
If you’re ready for undeniable change—more energy, lasting weight loss, consistency with exercise, and even spiritual growth—this podcast is for you!
Blend your favorite smoothie, grab some workout gear & your Bible and let’s get started!
