Tired? Fearful about your family's health? Overwhelmed by conflicting health information and not sure who to trust? You're not alone. And this conversation is going to help.
In this episode, Dr. Melanie Wilson talks with Dr. Dusty Hess, founder of Upstream Health and publisher of Upstream Magazine, about how to realign your family's health back to God's original design—without fear, without overwhelm, and without needing to become a health expert.
🎯 WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER:
- Why “fear is not of the Lord” is the FIRST principle of health stewardship
- How health got pulled out of the church (and why that's dangerous)
- The difference between acute care and getting healthy from the inside out
- Why you play a bigger role in your family's health than any doctor or institution
- How to escape the victim mindset around health challenges
- What to do when you or your kids face chronic health issues (PCOS, anxiety, ADHD, etc.)
- Why comparing yourself to health “gurus” keeps you stuck
- How to make ONE small change this month without feeling overwhelmed
- The cookware story that shows how simple changes compound over time
- Why Christian families are positioned to be the healthiest generation
