We’ve been told to white-knuckle our way through cravings, to punish our bodies into submission, and to measure our worth by the scale. We’ve been told that “discipline” is the answer - that if we could just pray harder, try harder, or eat cleaner, we’d finally have peace. But here’s the truth: you were never meant to live in bondage to food or in battle with your body. Your Creator designed your body as a vessel - not an enemy. And when you step into partnership with her, everything changes. That’s why I created the Body Ally™ Movement: to help women of faith silence the food chatter, end the obsession, and finally walk in the freedom they’ve been praying for.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-14T22:17:09.054403+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-body-ally-podcast-7647350"},"episode":{"title":"Should you Stop Using the Scale in your Health Journey","slug":"should-you-stop-using-the-scale-in-your-health-journey","published_at":"2026-05-26T11:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-body-ally-podcast-7647350/should-you-stop-using-the-scale-in-your-health-journey","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-body-ally-podcast-7647350","url":"https://thebodyally.podbean.com/e/should-you-stop-using-the-scale-in-your-health-journey/","audio_url":"https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/aq3vqk5yjmr4n4uz/riverside_magic_episode_kerrie_s_studio7intf.mp3","summary":"In this episode, Kerrie Nygard explores the complicated relationship many women have with the scale and asks an important question: Is weighing yourself helping your health journey—or hurting it? Through personal stories and faith-based insight, Kerrie unpacks how diet mentality can tie our worth to a number, creating cycles of fear, shame, and frustration. She invites listeners to shift away from self-judgment and toward a more compassionate, body-allied approach rooted in gratitude, awareness, and partnership with the body God gave them. What if health wasn’t about chasing a number—but about learning to care for your body with love and intention? This episode is a gentle reminder that your worth is never defined by the scale, and that true wellness begins with grace, not pressure.
