Hosted by Tucson-based naturopathic physician Christian Natural Health brings together faith and practical wellness in a single conversation. Dr. Lauren Deville guides these discussions, drawing from both clinical experience and scripture to explore how body, mind, and spirit are interconnected. You’ll hear detailed conversations on foundational practices like nutrition, sleep optimization, and balanced exercise, as well as deep dives into specific conditions such as persistent anxiety, thyroid issues, or unexplained hair loss. The dialogue often includes insights from various guests, offering a rounded perspective on holistic care. Each week, the regular episode is joined by a quieter, reflective bonus episode where Dr. Deville focuses on a single Bible verse, connecting spiritual contemplation directly to personal health and resilience.
