Are you ready to ditch diet culture without ditching your health?
Do you long to feel comfortable in your own skin?
Are you sick of riding the diet roller coaster?

Do you feel out of control around certain foods?

Do you just wish that creating healthy habits felt easier?


Well friend, I'm here for you! Hi, my name is Jenna Waite. I'm a registered dietitian-nutritionist, middle-aged mom, and committed follower of Christ. Although we live in a world full of diet culture and body shaming, I believe it IS still possible to get healthy from a place of peace, acceptance, and love.


I'm dishing up practical, tactical advice to help you have more energy, enjoy better moods, and avoid health-related diseases. I'll show you how to make peace with your body so you can have more self-compassion, feel comfortable in your own skin, and have greater confidence no matter your size. And I'll help you improve your relationship with food so you can stop obsessing about every little thing you eat and use that energy for things that matter most. 

And a powerful side effect of improving your healthy habits and relationship with food and your body is that you'll also be setting a life-changing example for your kids.

I grew up in a large body and felt so much shame about my weight for years. Even after becoming a dietitian and getting to a more socially acceptable size, I never felt my body was small enough. But thanks to some fantastic tools, along with help from God, I’ve finally learned to love and appreciate my body no matter how it looks. I've also felt the incredible freedom of taking my focus OFF of losing weight and putting it ONTO becoming healthy for health's sake.

I've found some amazing strategies that have helped me get rid of bad habits and replace them with tons of healthy, sustainable routines. We'll discuss topics like meal planning, mindful eating, food freedom, and much more.

With decades of education and experience behind me, I know how to sift through all the noise and false data around health and wellness. I'll give you trustworthy information based on the latest science and research. I'll also keep things low-drama with clean language so that you can feel comfortable listening with the kids around.

Because I embrace body diversity, I use a weight-neutral, non-diet, Health At Every Size (HAES) framework. Our bodies and lives are all very different, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach to health. I firmly believe getting healthy isn't a matter of having enough motivation or willpower, or punishing yourself to reach some arbitrary goal weight. It's about creating realistic, sustainable habits that you can continue for years to come.


So if you're ready to fill your life with sustainable healthy habits, all while inviting God on your journey, this podcast is for you! And if you're looking for more resources to help you on your health journey, here's what I have to offer:

    Uplifting AND helpful!!
    I love Jenna’s personal, encouraging style in this podcast - you can really hear her heart that “cheers you on” in areas that can often feel intimidating, daunting, and like a difficult battle for many. She shares super helpful tips AND real-life lessons from her experiences. Truly a gem of a podcast!!

    You See Me…
    I can relate to so many things that you talk about. The body story episode really hit home. It is truly unsettling to know that things that happened YEARS ago still shape who we are today. Thank you for your insight.
  • JoiaRox
    So helpful & relatable!
    I’ve recently become a listener of this podcast and have enjoyed several episodes as they’ve popped into my feed. After listening to her episode on the “Body Story,” though, I felt compelled to write a review. Her opening references to her familial relationships that set the course for understanding how she has a parallels relationship with her body instantly drew me in, but her vulnerability in sharing how her body story was formed was completely relatable and allowed me to reflect on myself. Thank you for the honest insight as I begin the work to heal my relationship with food and my body!

    Listening to Jenna’s podcast is helping me change my perspective on loving my body even if I’m not the size I used to be because I know all the amazing things I am capable of as I am.

    Hope for the sugar obsessed mama!
    I have always had such a huge sweet tooth, and I know it’s not the right choice (especially as I’m now in my 40s!)…but the crazy busy days with kids make it so hard to not grab whatever just sounds good and/or easy! Jenna has so much wisdom to share from her background as a nutritionist, and I especially appreciate that she she shares it from a Christ-centered approach. Thank you Jenna!

This is a great place to be for me to tune in as I continue learning how to get unstuck when it comes to diet culture. Jenna also has so much knowledge when it comes to creating good habits and getting rid of the bad ones. Thanks so much for sharing all of this for FREE, Jenna.

    Encouraging dietitian
    This podcast has helped me so much. As someone that has struggled with eating disorders and body image issues my whole life this podcast is so encouraging. Jenna is very genuine and helpful and helping me feel less shame. Keep up the good work Jenna.😊As a mom of two girls 4 and 5 I have felt overwhelmed and as crazy as this sounds just not knowing how to care for myself and them. I am horrible at meal planning heck even eating lunch myself.
  • earthgirl98
    Learned so much!!!
    This is exactly what I needed. Jenna is so knowledgeable and well spoken, passionate and up-to-date. I was starting to go down the wrong path regarding my diet and health for the sake of losing weight, but this helped me see the error of my ways and the potential long-term pitfalls and consequences. I plan to listen to every episode again and take profuse notes. “Your body is an instrument, not an ornament.” ❤️❤️❤️

    Full of insightful, practical encouragement
    I have listened to my fair share of health podcasts and usually come away feeling overwhelmed and discouraged. Listening to Jenna, I felt just the opposite. She values health and wants her listeners to make good habits that are practical! Her personal stories felt so familiar to me and she gave me hope in my own journey forward. I highly recommend!
