76: Ignite Your Healing: Fusing Faith, Science, and Holistic Wellness w/Dr. Terry Harmon
This discussion illustrates the consistency between natural health approaches and biblical principles. Dr. Harmon shares how his chiropractic and nutritional work aligns with his Christian faith, emphasizing the importance of addressing the autonomic nervous system, mitochondrial health, and finding one's God-given purpose. We talked about how obesity is often a symptom rather than a root cause, and the need for the church to better address physical health alongside spiritual growth.
Key themes that resonated with me include trusting God's design for the body, the power of confession and repentance, and using tools like heart rate variability to optimize nervous system function. Overall, the conversation highlighted the integration of faith, science, and holistic wellness in a way that I found deeply insightful.
