About
What if your struggle with sugar isn’t simply about willpower—but about biology, habits, emotions, and the deeper invitation to care for the body God has given you?
In this episode of the Wise Divine Women Podcast, Dana Irvine sits down with Christine Trimpe, sugar addiction specialist and Christian health coach, for a powerful conversation about breaking free from sugar, improving metabolic health, and inviting faith into the wellness journey.
Christine shares her personal transformation from living with morbid obesity to reclaiming her health, energy, and purpose. Her journey wasn’t built on perfection or complicated diet rules. It began with understanding what sugar was doing to her body, recognizing the patterns behind cravings, and inviting God into the process.
Together, Dana and Christine explore how sugar can influence insulin resistance, appetite, mood, energy, inflammation, and emotional eating. They also discuss why many women struggle with cravings even when they know what they “should” be eating—and why shame and restriction rarely create lasting change.
Faith, Food & Freedom
One of Christine’s most powerful messages is that health does not have to be pursued alone.
By inviting God into her journey, she began seeing wellness differently—not simply as weight loss, but as an opportunity to become physically and spiritually equipped for the purpose she was created to fulfill.
As Christine reminds us:
“I invited the Lord into my journey.”
“Keep it super simple.”
“God created you for a purpose.”
The goal isn’t dietary perfection. It is learning to understand your body, recognize the patterns keeping you stuck, and make intentional choices that support the life you want to live.
