Healthy Living Without Compromising Christian Values—Dr. Eric


Listen Later

From a business perspective, the Christian market is one of the most underserved markets in the natural health space. Eric Zielinski (commonly called Dr. Z) is a doctor of chiropractic, public health researcher, best-selling author, and producer of the Hope for Breast Cancer documentary, and he joins the podcast to discuss a number of interesting topics, such as the following:

  • How and why essential oils, energy healing practices, yoga, CBD, chiropractic therapy, aromatherapy treatment, and even massage therapy can cause concern for many Christians
  • How the lack of emphasis on physical health among Christians is leading to sickness and impeding the ability to fulfill people's missions for God
  • What Dr. Z sees as a double standard regarding religiously-driven avoidance and acceptance of certain substances

Biblical health is about healthy living without violating Christian beliefs, and if you ask Dr. Z, he'll tell you it's being severely overlooked and undervalued by many Christians. He argues that this is in large part due to the many concerns and lack of awareness surrounding certain practices and substances becoming increasingly popular in the natural health sector, such as aromatherapy, CBD, essential oils, yoga, and energy healing.

One of the biggest problems he sees in this regard is a detrimental double standard: "This is the double standard: I don't see a lot of folks…Mormons, or Jews or Christians or Muslims concerned about opioids or concerned about chemotherapy or highly addictive, potentially damage-causing pharmaceutical drugs, so I'm trying to put things into perspective for people. Why are you so concerned about a plant…an essential oil, when you're going to take a pharmaceutical without a second thought?" he says.

He goes on to explain that the key is in educating people and raising awareness about a variety of practices and substances used in health and wellness, and modern medicine.
