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.

In this episode of the Healthy by Heather Brown podcast, Heather dives into the importance of mental, physical, and spiritual health in children with her guest, Rebekah Weigel, a producer, writer, and foster/adoptive parent. They discuss the movie 'Sound of Hope,' which focuses on a community-based adoption and foster care model inspired by real-life events from a small church in East Texas.

Heather and Rebekah explore the church's role in supporting children both locally and globally, addressing the various traumas that children encounter today. Rebekah shares her journey from psychology to filmmaking, the challenges and blessings of foster care, and the critical role of community support in encouraging adoptive families. Families who serve children through foster care and adoption are embodying the role of local missionaries and are meeting a great need. While more foster and adoptive families are needed, the church can also support these parents by offering prayer and care in the same way it would for international missionaries. We are called to be set apart, salt and light, in a dark world. In the marriage corner, this episode focuses on the balance of phone usage to foster better family relationships and concludes with actionable insights for parents on how to stay present in their children's lives.

Scripture verses highlighted in this episode include:James 1:27 “Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained.”

2 Corinthians 12:9 “But he said to me,  ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.”

Hannah Brencher joins Heather on the Healthy By Heather Brown show to share her journey toward resetting and unplugging to live an intentional lifestyle. 

Founder of More Love Letters, author of new book, "The Unplugged Hours", mom and wife, Hannah shares how she achieved 1,000 hours unplugged. Hannah shares about the power of a digital Sabbath, how to fully reset through unplugging, and how to have anchor points in your day.

We are wired to move fast and yet in the slowness, we find DEEP JOY. The more we get rid of the noise, the more we realize we can step in rhythm with Jesus. God will never tell us to hustle or move faster and in fact, God is calling us to a slower pace. Productivity is amplified when we choose to unplug because we realize where our priority should be when the noise is reduced. 

My next step for you is this: Write down when you feel better, relaxed, or more alive and let that be part of you sabbath. (Example: reading, writing, napping)

In this episode:

Stephanie Quayle, acclaimed singer/songwriter and author of her forthcoming book, Why Do We Stay?, joins Heather to talk about healing from lies, toxic relationships, loss, and grief. 

When Stephanie lost her boyfriend in a plane crash, she faced intense grief and pain. Nothing compared, though, to the shock of discovering she had not been the only woman in his life. As her world unraveled around her, Stephanie realized that it had actually been unraveling from the start of their relationship—back when he promised her everything.

Stephanie says that her faith and forgiveness of not only the one who inflicted the pain but also of herself, has been the key to freedom and healing in her journey. Her personal journey of faith in Jesus has been one that she has held close and private, but now she is opening up about all God has done in her life. Stephanie was baptized by Pastor Chris Hodges of Church of the Highlands in January – on the 15th anniversary of her pain, which has now become her freedom.

Most of us have dealt with a toxic relationship – whether in friendship or romantically. Stephanie’s journey from heartbreak to healing will encourage and inspire you that in Christ, you can be empowered to walk in freedom, lay aside guilt and shame, practice self-care and rebuild your life.

Award-winning author and founder of the online brand GraceLaced.com, Ruth Chou Simons, joins Heather to talk about what it feels like when your current life circumstances, your parenting, marriage, career and friendships, are so far from where you long for them to be.

In her new book, Now and Not Yet: Pressing In When You’re Waiting, Wanting, and Restless for More, Ruth encourages readers to see their current circumstances the way God does, align their perspective with his and choose to press in instead of look for a way out. Drawing from scripture, biblical wisdom, and personal experience, Ruth's deep belief that God has already ultimately fulfilled all of His promises in Christ undergirds every word of Now and Now Yet. Readers will feel deeply understood, gently challenged and encouraged to call on the Lord amidst every circumstance—to trust they are right where they need to be because God will use it all.

Ruth states - “I truly believe your current season is not wasted." And, "God is purposeful about what happens between today and tomorrow, between right now and someday. My prayer is that we stop hiding behind simple platitudes and quick fixes to our unwanted right nows and bravely step into the ways God wants to change us… instead of staying busy trying to change our circumstances.”

Campbell Will, founder of Breath Body Therapy, joins Heather to share his story about researching the power of breathwork and how breathwork isn't a trend but rather it is the single most important function of the body and can either drive us towards health or towards disease.

Campbell shares that one of the best things you can do for your nervous system is to manage your state and thus how a managed state impacts parenting. Children will mirror the energy and attitude of parents. 

Campbell unpacks the differences between mouth breathing vs nose breathing as well as the impact each has on the mind, body, and nervous system. He also touches on stress (embracing it rather than avoiding it), self regulation (teaching the nervous system how to be calm, the link between breathing and emotions, and the difference between "breathwork" and "breath retraining". 

Campbell practically walks through good breathing patterns including how to properly take a deep breath. 

Campbell's best takeaway is to use your breathing as a way to hit the reset button throughout the day. When you begin noticing mouth breathing, use the moment to course correct.
