Podcast Show Notes: Interview with Kristy McCammon
Episode Highlights:
In this deeply honest and empowering episode of The Women Behind the Words, Kristy McCammon shares her journey of breaking free from emotional eating and food addiction through surrender, faith, and practical boundaries. Though she had a strong relationship with the Lord, Kristy battled shame and secret struggles with binge eating, often hiding her pain behind a smile. It wasn’t until she cried out to God for help that He gave her one life-changing word: boundaries.
After trying every diet with no lasting results, Kristy realized she needed something more sustainable—something rooted in truth. Through surrendering her food choices to the Lord and following a plan of three measured meals a day, Kristy lost over 100 pounds and has maintained that weight loss for more than six years. But more importantly, she found true freedom—freedom from shame, secrecy, and the constant mental battle with food.
Kristy explains how the world often tells us to satisfy every craving, but the Word of God teaches us to renew our minds and align our lives with His truth. For her, this meant creating beautiful guardrails—firm but life-giving boundaries with food, especially sugar and processed carbs. Though it required grieving the loss of certain habits and comforts, she gained something far more valuable: a deeper dependence on Jesus and a life she no longer wanted to numb.
Today, Kristy is a voice of hope to hundreds of thousands of women through her ministry, Life Unbinged. With over 700,000 social media followers and a thriving online community, she shares practical steps, daily encouragement, and biblical truth to help others break free from food struggles and emotional eating.
She leaves listeners with three powerful takeaways:
-
Let go of sugar and processed flour.
-
Journal what you eat.
-
Study what God says about your identity.
Food freedom, Kristy says, isn’t about restriction—it’s about liberation. It’s about choosing what nourishes you physically, emotionally, and spiritually while letting go of what leads you back into bondage.
