The Spiritual Root of Anxiety Nobody Is Talking About | Madison Prewett Troutt

from The Dr. Josh Axe Show · host Dr. Josh Axe

Most people treating anxiety are starting in the wrong place. Madison Prewett Troutt — author, speaker, and podcast host — makes the case that anxiety, loneliness, and chronic exhaustion are primarily spiritual battles, and that no supplement or protocol will produce lasting freedom until the foundation is addressed first. **In this episode:** - Why your body is a temple and what it actually means to steward it well — physically, spiritually, and relationally - The three things every human needs to be truly healthy: connection to God, connection to people, and connection to the earth - Satan's specific strategies to keep you stuck in fear, comparison, and compromise — and how to recognize them - A real spiritual prescription for overcoming anxiety (prayer, confession, praise, gratitude, and addressing childhood trauma) - How community, marriage, and mentorship shape your health just as much as what you eat - The health habits Madison and Grant actually practice — cold plunge, infrared sauna, and the mindset behind all of it Uncover what’s really going on in your body with advanced biomarker testing for hormones, thyroid, and metabolism— plus a 1-hour consultation with a Senior Health Advisor! → http://mybloodwork.com Thank you to our sponsors!
