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.

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.

Dr. Lainey Greer has spent over ten years working in the local church in addition to twenty years as a personal trainer. Her educational background includes a bachelor’s in exercise science, master’s in Christian leadership, and doctorate in systematic theology.

She is the creator and founder of Sōma Consulting, LLC, along with the Understand Healthy lifestyle program, Forsaken Body blog, and Your Body Matters Workshop.
