  • Summary

  • **The Go-to Podcast for Christian women who want to improve their body image and stop comparing themselves to others!**

    • Are you a Christian woman who is tired of the same old answers to your body image and comparison struggles?
    • Have you "tried everything," yet still feel like your body isn't enough or should be better?
    • Do you know that "God looks at the heart" or "You're fearfully and wonderfully made" yet STILL feel like maybe God should have made your body better?
    • Bonus: Have you ever prayed for God to zap you skinny? ;) (Your secret is safe here.)

    If you answered yes to any of the above, then Compared to Who? A Biblical Approach to Body Image Issues is the show for you!

    Twice a week, we tackle tough topics like feeling out of control with food, body shame, disordered eating, weight loss, aging, dieting, body dysmorphia, body hatred, and more from a practical, grace-filled, biblical, and gospel-centered perspective.

    I'm Heather Creekmore, author of several books (including a forthcoming body image workbook), speaker, and Christian body image coach. Our approach to body image issues is relatable, authentic, and truth-driven. We hope every episode is filled with grace and hope for your personal struggle. I spent decades battling the scale and the mirror. But, now I help women get free from body image issues so they can stop comparing and start living. Listen to laugh about all the common ways we struggle and find encouragement for our journey.

  • Why You Need a Healthy Soul in Order to Have a Healthy Body

    Why You Need a Healthy Soul in Order to Have a Healthy Body
    Jan 14 2025

    Pursuing physical health seems to have great benefits. Longer life, more enjoyment of life, compliments from friends who notice . . . But, what if the best way to become more physically healthy is to first become more spiritually, mentally, and emotionally healthy? In fact, what if a lack of spiritual, mental, or emotional health is actually keeping your body stuck in diseases or distress because you've tried to fix the problem from the outside in, instead of from the inside out? On today's podcast episode, Heather Creekmore talks about the importance of caring for our souls: our emotions, our mental health, and our spiritual health. She talks about research that shows how a failure to take care of what's going on inside may keep us fighting our bodies. As Christian women, what should take priority? Heather explores these questions and more in today's new episode.

    Listen, learn, and be encouraged to get healthy emotionally, mentally, spiritually, and physically in 2025.

  • Thinking About Your Weight as a Part of Your Overall Health (Part 2) Featuring Dr. Mikala Albertson

    Thinking About Your Weight as a Part of Your Overall Health (Part 2) Featuring Dr. Mikala Albertson
    Jan 10 2025

    Heather continues her conversation with author and board-certified physician, Dr. Mikala Albertson. In part two of this two-part interview, Heather and Mikala discuss why women feel so much shame around weight and BMI and how what's most healthy for some women is going to be to not focus on weight loss, especially if they have a lot of stress, grief, or change they are experiencing. You'll appreciate Dr. Albertson's honesty and genuine encouragement as she talks about the nuance of weight, health, and the pressures Christian women feel in this arena.

  • Doctor Says Weight Loss May Not Be Your Best New Years Goal featuring Dr. Mikala Albertson

    Doctor Says Weight Loss May Not Be Your Best New Years Goal featuring Dr. Mikala Albertson
    Jan 7 2025

    Today Heather is joined by author and board-certified physician, Dr. Mikala Albertson. In part one of this two part episode, Heather and Mikala discuss why women feel so much pressure to do and be everything and "look good doing it." They talk about control, striving, believing that we can control all of our health outcomes, and the pressure to be thin because of the belief that thin equals healthy. Heather asks Dr. Albertson what to do when your doctor makes you feel like your top focus should be weight loss and why doctors focus so much on weight and body size.
