In this episode of the Healthy by Heather Brown podcast, Heather welcomes Dr. Dan Sullivan, a chiropractor and health coach, to explore the intersection of faith and wellness. Dr. Sullivan shares his personal journey of coming from a Catholic background before coming to a saving faith as well as growing up in a medically traditional family to discovering the benefits of chiropractic care after a life-changing injury.
They discuss how standardized medicine came about, concerns with western medicine, and why many treatments focus on symptoms rather than holistic health, focusing on the mental, physical, and spiritual function. Dr. Sullivan emphasizes the importance of looking at the body as a capable, self-healing system, empowered by God’s perfect design.
The conversation also covers practical advice for parents on managing common childhood ailments naturally, questioning contemporary medical practices, and finding the right advocates for health transitions. Heather and Dr. Sullivan encourage listeners to trust in the body's natural processes, seek holistic health solutions, and lean on faith as a guiding principle in health decisions.
