17: Faith and Functional Medicine: Can a Christian Do Both?
from Abounding Life Podcast | Gut Health & Functional Medicine for Women · host Nikki Yelton, RD, FMCP, of Abounding Life™
Have you ever felt caught between two worlds, conventional medicine that dismisses you and a wellness world that sometimes feels spiritually off? On one side, doctors who tell you your labs are "normal" while you still feel exhausted, foggy, and not like yourself. On the other, a wellness world that finally takes you seriously, but slowly starts pointing you toward practices that just do not sit right in your spirit as a believer.If you have ever wondered whether there is a way to heal your body that takes your symptoms seriously AND honors God along the way, this episode is for you.As a board-certified Functional Medicine Practitioner, Registered Dietitian, and a Christian, I hold together two things the world likes to keep separate: real, rigorous science, and a deep trust in God as the ultimate healer. In this episode I share, as my own personal conviction, how I navigate the murkier parts of the wellness world, what Scripture says about healing and discernment, a story about a client that will stay with you, and why I believe healing has an order, because our God is a God of order!🎙️ Thanks for tuning in to today's episode.
