Restoring Your Body and Spirit: A Faith-Centered Approach to Wellness with Mishawnda Mintz

In a world where health trends constantly shift, it’s easy to get overwhelmed by conflicting advice and endless information. But what if, instead of turning to external sources first, we looked inward and leaned into our faith for guidance? That’s exactly what Mishawnda Mintz, a faith-centered health and wellness coach, did on her own health journey.

I had the pleasure of sitting down with Mishawnda on the Praying with Victory Podcast, where she shared her story of overcoming chronic health challenges and how faith played a central role in her transformation.

Mishawnda’s story isn’t just about the physical transformation she experienced—it’s about reclaiming her body, mind, and spirit through prayer, wisdom, and a deep connection to God’s guidance.

From Health Struggles to Empowerment

Mishawnda’s journey began over 20 years ago when she was diagnosed with prediabetes. At first, she didn’t fully understand the gravity of the situation. But after losing her grandmother to diabetes-related complications, she realized that this wasn’t just something that ran in the family—it was something that could shape her future if she didn’t take control of her health.

As her health issues progressed, including high cholesterol and high blood pressure, Mishawnda realized that she couldn’t just rely on conventional medicine alone. She had to seek wisdom beyond the standard prescriptions. 

It was during this challenging time that Mishawnda began to pray. She sought God’s direction, asking for wisdom to discern how to heal and manage her health.

The Power of Prayer in Health

What struck me most in our conversation was how prayer wasn’t just part of Mishawnda’s healing—it was foundational. She described prayer as not just a way to ask for help, but as an ongoing dialogue. In a world that often encourages quick fixes and instant answers, Mishawnda’s approach was different.

She patiently listened for God’s guidance, discerning which health practices would align with His will for her life.

“Health and wellness is a stewardship issue,” Mishawnda said, and I couldn’t agree more. She beautifully tied the concept of taking care of our bodies to the idea that we are stewards of the temples God has entrusted to us. 

This perspective completely changed the way I view my own health journey. If we’re called to steward everything from finances to relationships, why wouldn’t we also be responsible for our own bodies?

Integrating Faith with Wellness

What I truly admire about Mishawnda’s approach is how she blends biblical principles with practical health strategies. As a coach, she empowers women to not only reclaim their health but to also do so with discernment and prayer. 

No one-size-fits-all solution works for everyone, and Mishawnda emphasized how crucial it is to pray for wisdom and clarity when it comes to our own unique health needs. By inviting God into the process, we can find peace amidst the chaos of conflicting health advice.

In our conversation, she shared that she founded her program, Renewed Mind, Restored Body, to help overwhelmed women of faith reclaim their energy, balance their blood sugar, and experience wholeness in mind, body, and spirit. It’s a beautiful reminder that God cares about every part of our lives—even our health—and He wants us to thrive in every area.

A Call to Action for Women of Faith

As Mishawnda prepares to speak at the upcoming Praying with Victory Summit, she encourages women to know that God cares about their health. Health isn’t just a personal issue—it’s a spiritual one. Mishawnda hopes that women who attend the summit feel empowered to take control of their health, equipped with both knowledge and faith. 

She wants them to feel seen and heard, knowing that they are not alone in this journey.

Her message is simple yet profound: when we align our health with God’s principles, we honor Him. We are able to serve Him more effectively, with the energy, clarity, and strength needed to fulfill His call on our lives.

Final Thoughts

Mishawnda Mintz’s story is a powerful testament to how God can work in every area of our lives—including our health. It’s not just about following the latest diet trend or fitness fad. It’s about stewarding our bodies with wisdom, prayer, and faith. By seeking God’s guidance, we can navigate the overwhelming world of health advice and find the right path for us.

I’m so grateful for the time I got to spend with Mishawnda on this podcast episode. If you’re feeling overwhelmed or uncertain about your own health journey, I encourage you to listen to this episode. And remember, you don’t have to do it alone—invite God into the process, trust His wisdom, and walk confidently in the health and vitality He has for you.

A Prayer for Health and Healing

Heavenly Father, we thank You for the gift of our bodies, which You have wonderfully and fearfully made. We ask for Your guidance in caring for our health, both physically and spiritually. Help us to see our bodies as temples of Your Holy Spirit, and empower us to make choices that honor You. 

Lord, grant us the wisdom and discernment we need as we navigate our health journeys. Fill us with strength, peace, and the energy to fulfill Your purpose for our lives. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
