This episode is part 2 of the Natural Health Matters mission statement explained. In this solo episode, talk about the 3 components of a human being and the 3 focus areas to each part that give us 9 pillars of health. Spirit: Love for God, love for others, and love for ourselves; Mind: Mindset, limiting beliefs, and emotional intelligence; Body: nutrition, movement, and sleep.
In this episode, I begin unpacking the mission statement of the Natural Health Matters podcast which is "I want to help you maximize your health potential so that you can look and feel your best at any age." We do that by aligning our lives more fully with God's natural design for spirit, mind, and body. I give you some reasons why I make the recommendations I do. In the next episode part 2, I finish off with some specific recommendations for spirit, mind, and body.

However, we're never finished with this topic because as followers of Jesus Christ, everything in life is holy and therefore takes on a spiritual component. Our bodies are the temple of The Holy Spirit (physical health).
