Want to feel strong and well in your body — without the diet culture pressure? The Graced Health podcast is for Christ-centered women in perimenopause and menopause who want to feel capable, grounded, and at peace in their bodies — without all the noise.

Here you'll find practical, grace-filled guidance on strength training, nutrition, body image, and wellness — all rooted in faith and free from diet culture. No shame. No comparison. Just clarity, encouragement, and a voice of reason.

I'm Amy Connell, a NASM Certified Personal Trainer and Nutrition Coach who grew up in diet culture doing step aerobics in a thong leotard.

God called me into Graced Health after showing me there's a more peaceful, less obsessive way to care for my body — so I can do what He's called me to do.

New episodes drop every week, covering everything from strength training and menopause to intuitive eating and body stewardship — all through a grace-centered lens.

    What if the key to better health wasn't more supplements, more tracking, or more optimization — but simply learning to listen? In this episode, Dr. Brook Sheehan, chiropractor, host of Your Body Speaks, and creator of the Body OS, joins us for a refreshingly honest conversation about what it really means to honor your body — especially in midlife.

    Dr. Brook shares her personal journey from growing up in a heavily medicalized household, to becoming obsessed with wellness culture, to finally finding a faith-grounded, grace-filled middle ground. Her core message: your body is a masterpiece designed by God, and it's already speaking to you — you just need to learn how to hear it.

    Main Points Covered:

    • Why our bodies are not machines to be hacked.
    • The danger of wellness obsession.
    • How to actually listen to your body.
    • Why building a relationship with your body takes consistency, not perfection.
    • The "this or that" practice.
    • Discerning signal from noise.
    • What the Talk to Me Body Card Deck is

  • 5 Uncomfortable Lessons from 500 Episodes

    5 Uncomfortable Lessons from 500 Episodes
    Mar 17 2026

    Click to Text Thoughts on Today's Episode

    500 episodes. 150 guests. And a month away I didn't plan for.

    Welcome back to the Graced Health Podcast — and welcome to a milestone I've been thinking about for a long time.

    This episode looks a little different than I originally envisioned for episode 500.

    I already knew "uncomfortable lessons" was an unusual theme for a milestone episode. I had no idea just how fitting it would become.

    If you know me, you know I lean toward encouragement. So sitting with "uncomfortable" took some intention. But God knew what he was doing with this one.

    In this episode you'll hear:

    • Podcast stats — the real numbers, held loosely and shared honestly
    • Which countries and cities are consistently showing up (shoutout to some of you!)
    • Where the Graced Health Podcast lands globally (top 2% — I'll take it)
    • Five uncomfortable lessons about health, habits, rest, and staying in your lane
    • A deeply personal fifth lesson that arrived on February 6 — the day I finished prepping this episode

    Whether this is your first episode or your 500th, I'm glad you're here.
