Her Story

Cathy Morenzie has been a leader in the health and wellness industry for over 35 years. With more than 30,000 coaching hours logged, she has helped hundreds of thousands of people lose weight and develop positive attitudes about their bodies, their diet, and their fitness. Today, she is recognized as a leading authority on Christian weight loss — an award-winning author, international speaker, and the founder of Weight Loss, God's Way.

But Cathy's journey didn't begin from a place of strength. For years, she struggled with the very things her readers face — emotional eating, self-doubt, and low self-esteem. She tried to change just about everything about herself. She knows what it feels like to be stuck, to wonder if anything will ever be different.

The turning point came when Cathy experienced a powerful breakthrough: the answer to her struggles wasn't another diet or exercise program. It was faith, not food. That revelation changed everything — and became the foundation for every book, program, and coaching relationship that followed.

"Until you understand why you do what you do, you will continue to repeat it."

Cathy's Guiding Philosophy

After logging over 30,000 coaching hours and helping hundreds of thousands of readers, Cathy has developed a set of biblical principles that guide everything she teaches. These aren't trendy tips — they're time-tested truths rooted in Scripture:

  • Good health is your identity, not your destination. Genesis 1:27
  • Information without revelation will not lead to transformation. Romans 8:5 & 12:2
  • Good health involves healing your body, soul, and spirit. 1 Thessalonians 5:23
  • Transformation comes through daily submission. 2 Corinthians 10:5 · Luke 9:23
  • You must move past the natural resistance from contemplation to action. James 1:22 & 2:26
