Made Good: Overcoming the Lies that Keep Women at War with Their Bodies with Florencia Moyniham

In this episode of the Joyful Health Show, I interview Florencia Moynihan, a nutritional therapy practitioner and founder of The Catholic Nutritionist. We discuss her book "Made Good: Overcoming the Lies that Keep Women at War with Their Bodies." Together, we'll explore how women are sold the lie that worth is found in being thinner, prettier, or more productive, and how that leaves so many of us exhausted, anxious, and disconnected from our bodies.

We'll discuss:

Florencia's shift from using food to control her body to allowing food to nourish herself

How God can use anything (including social media) for good

The confusion between the "body" and the "flesh" in Christian theology and a right understanding of the two

Practical ways to start believing that you, too, are made good

Our hope is for you to see the lies for what they are and start trusting God and the body He gave you for better health and life in Christ:

"And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day." Genesis 1:31
