Graced Health: Perimenopause and Menopause Wellness for Christian Women
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.

My Journey to Intuitive Eating + Introducing Season 21
Click to Text Thoughts on Today's Episode
In January 2024, I officially declared this show to be Intuitive Eating focused.
Today I'm sharing my own journey to embracing Intuitive Eating (and my body) and why I feel it's important to do so here as well.
I discuss:
- My first few discussions about Intuitive Eating
- What this means for my first book, Your Worthy Body
- How Intuitive Eating influenced the writing of my second book for teen girls, Your CORE Strength
- The benefits I've gained
- Whether I think IE has caused my perimenopause weight gain
- And I introduce the next season of the Graced Health podcast
Episodes mentioned:
- How I heard from God without spending time in prayer or worship
- How Intuitive Eating may give you the grace and freedom you need with Erin Todd
- How do I know if my loved one is dealing with an eating disorder? with Brittany Braswell
- I've gained perimenopause weight. Why I'm not trying to lose it.
