Understand Healthy

Cultivating Lasting Lifestyle Change

Understand Healthy is a 30-week online course with biblical foundations that teaches nutrition, exercise, & stress management basics. Knowing these basics can enhance your wellbeing by equipping you with the necessary tools to develop better health. Individual and group options are available!

Most diets promise quick results by drastic efforts. Understand Healthy cultivates lasting lifestyle change through progressive behavior modification and practicing healthy habits over time.

Because healthy looks different for everyone.

Every ‘body’ is different with distinctive genes, personalities, surroundings, and family histories. For that reason, Understand Healthy offers choice and variability, making it applicable for men and women of any age.

Months

Lifelong Habits

Healthy Lifestyle

Understand Healthy lasts nearly 8 months for a reason. Bad habits form over time and must be unlearned. Good habits also take time to develop and maintain.

This program anticipates those challenges. It progresses in intervals to slowly produce a healthy lifestyle by giving new habit options on each level. The explanation behind each habit is meant to help you understand what it takes to get healthy. After focusing on one new habit every three weeks, the goal is for you to have consistently formed 10 new habits in 30 weeks.

How it works.

This program helps you understand how to live a healthy lifestyle – no matter your weight, activity level, or limitations.

It's about more than the number on the scale.

Don't let a busy schedule threaten your health.

While individuals can complete the program solo, doing Understand Healthy in a group provides additional support, accountability, and encouragement. These added benefits make a big difference when cultivating lasting lifestyle change. The group option is especially helpful for church or parachurch staffs, small groups, and missionaries.

I have spent over ten years working in the local church in addition to twenty years as a personal trainer. My educational background includes a bachelor’s in exercise science, master’s in Christian leadership, and doctorate in systematic theology. I combined these years of education and experience to create the Understand Healthy program.

Reviews

I’m so thankful for Lainey and her program Understand Healthy for getting my husband and I back on track. Officially 50 pounds down. And I’m proud to say I did it the correct way.

Chelsie

I'm doing great! Feeling encouraged by my latest cholesterol and HgbA1c results! Smalls changes are making a difference! My HbgA1c down from 5.7 to 5.3!

Alicia

My husband and I are absolutely loving Understand Healthy. We can’t thank you enough for all the time and effort you have put into such a great program. We have learned so much already and are enjoying learning more each 3 weeks. I am enjoying the learning side so much and am finding myself wanting to learn even more than I already am.

Robert and Sydney

5 weeks in, and am down 6 pounds without an enormous amount of effort on my part. I feel so much healthier in the choices I am making.

Kim

I am currently down 34 pounds and I am almost averaging 10,000 steps a day. Thanks for your help.

Mike

I am going to continue to focus on steps/cardio, strength, and cutting sugar. I did get good news on my bloodwork, and my sugar numbers are down to normal , which is good. Now I want to press on!

Kathy

I had a consultation over a year ago. I just want you to know that God use your work and passion and ministry to help someone approach their forties and the beginnings of aging in a better and healthier way!

Lessened headaches, more energy, lost 10lbs

I can tell my metabolism is more active because I'm actually hungry for breakfast in the morning!
