Candid conversations about food, faith, and life with Registered Dietitian Rebecca Turner. RebeccaTurnerNutriton.com
"Us southerners love butter beans and purple hull peas. However, I have been told they are not that healthy. What are the best options?" Rebecca Turner tackles this listener's question and shares insight that teaches you to respect starchy vegetables, not remove them!
Everyone needs to eat, including the people of the Bible. Historical societies and religions of all kinds practiced or actively practiced some form of dietary restriction for a vast array of reasons. Biblical law is no different. In this episode, Rebecca Turner reads an excerpt from her latest book, Enjoy Good Health, on food rules in biblical law.
Portion sizes are a tool to help choose an appropriate amount of a certain food. Portion control can help you get the nutrients and enjoyment out of food without overeating. But, portion control can become a prison and feel more like torture than a tool. Listen and learn how to approach portion sizes from a fresh perspective.
Rebecca Turner was a guest on God Fire Radio to talk about her latest book release, Enjoy Good Health: A faith-based approach to personal wellness. Rebecca had the chance to provide host Pastor Dan and Lynn Sheldon a fresh insight into connecting our faith with our wellness journey.
Did you know that 97 percent of dieters regain everything they lost and then some within three years? Yet, people continue to look at diets as a means to reach their health goals. There is a better way to uncover the eating style that works for you. At the end of the episode, I'll give you a homework assignment that will get your tinker thinking.
What should I weigh? (What a loaded question.) Tune in for a fresh perspective on finding your ideal weight.
It's a rocky re-boot of the Rebecca Turner Nutrition Podcast. I'm honest, I'm rusty, but I'm back. Plus, I have a good question to ask you about your relationship with food.
In Mind Over Fork, I wrote about the “Skinny Smokescreen,” long before the popular Netflix documentary, “The Social Dilemma,” got us thinking about online algorithms designed to get our attention. In this episode, I explain the devious parallels in both the social media and wellness industries.
Heart disease is the leading cause of death for men, women, and people of most racial and ethnic groups in the United States, yet it feels people don't take its diagnosis seriously enough. You may find navigating the path to better heart health overwhelming. My guest, Dr. Josie Bidwell, FNP-C, breaks down the components of cardiovascular disease, and offers heart hope!
And while I hope this process ends in you taking better care of your heart, physically, I am here to urge you to take stock of your spiritual heart health, too. You will be encouraged to turn your Bible to Mark 4: 3-20.

Thousands have lived without love, sex, or Netflix, but not one without water. Spiritually speaking, water is a symbol of salvation and arguably the first nutrient to good health. So, how much water should you be drinking?
You have probably made some "dumb" dieting decisions before, and that's okay. Once you better understand how the body lets go of (or retains) weight, you are more likely to diet better. Listen and learn why your body doesn't like hasty dieting decisions.
How you define healthy will determine what happens next. You probably know what you don't want out of health (chronic disease, cancer, or low self-esteem), but have you ever taken time to discover and define what you want from good health? It's a powerful exercise that can change the way you approach wellness in general.
Before you worry about the quantity of food you eat daily, you should think about the quality. Calories, of any kind, can be manipulated to manage your weight, but nutrients found in whole foods are what manage your health. Listen and learn about simple digestion and how nutrients found in whole foods are the worker bees of the body.
I took a trip down memory lane and shared a few significant life events that have shaped my view of wellness. This episode explores my story. What is yours?
