| Introduction | With a lifelong passion to help the hurting especially those struggling with overweight, Gwen Shamblin is a Tennessee church leader who guides Remnant Fellowship Church in Brentwood. In 1986, Gwen Shamblin felt the call to create The Weigh Down Workshop as a way of helping people of faith lose weight permanently. With a Master's Degree from the University of Tennessee in Nutrition, she began by teaching small classes and offering audiotape lessons. The unprecedented success of Ms. Shamblin’s teachings led to the founding of Weigh Down Ministries, which emphasizes weight loss through eating normal foods. Her Bible-based approach in helping people lose weight extended into other addictions like as cigarettes and alcohol. Since 2006, Ms. Shamblin has led Weigh Down Ministries as a not-for-profit within Remnant Fellowship Church, which she does not take a salary. |
