Episode 985 Published 1 month ago

Description

“Spirituality and emotional health are directly linked to wellness,” says Dr. Don Colbert. He has been specializing in family medicine and anti-aging for decades. Dr. Colbert is the bestselling author of multiple books, including the Spiritual Health Zone: Add Joy, Love, Peace, and Years to Your Life. He says that applying Scriptural commands to our lives, like implementing the Fruits of the Spirit (Gal. 5:22-23), can greatly contribute to improving our health and overall wellness and eradicate disease. “We want to activate the Fruit of the Spirit and crucify the flesh,” Dr. Colbert advises. To free the body from a chronic fight or flight response, and to quell inflammation, get to the root of the problem: enter the spiritual health zone, lean on God’s wisdom, and dig into His promises. Forgiveness is key to a healthy body, as well.
