In this powerful episode of Fit Beyond For, Coach Crystal sits down with Dr. Candice Childs — a medical professional, faith-filled wellness advocate, and woman on a mission to help others pursue health with Christ at the center.
Dr. Candice opens up about her journey through medical school, where the intense stress led to emotional eating and burnout. But in the midst of the pressure, prayer became her turning point. She shares how the Holy Spirit gently led her away from using food as a coping mechanism and toward a lifestyle rooted in grace, movement, and nourishing choices.
Together, Coach Crystal and Dr. Candice talk about:
How faith fueled her transformation
The shift from stress eating to spirit-led self-care
Finding joy in movement that fits your life
Why nutrition is key — and simple, realistic tips to start today
If you’ve ever struggled with finding balance between faith, food, and fitness, this episode will encourage and empower you to invite God into your wellness journey.
