Healthy Living Without Compromising Christian ValuesDr. Eric Zielinski On Biblical Health

Published: Feb. 14, 2020, 4:44 a.m.

From a business perspective, the Christian market is one of the most underserved markets in the natural health space.\xa0Eric\xa0Zielinski\xa0(commonly called\xa0Dr. Z) is a doctor of chiropractic, public health researcher, best-selling author, and producer of the\xa0Hope for Breast Cancer\xa0documentary, 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,\xa0chiropractic 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\u2019s missions for God
  • What\xa0Dr. 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\xa0Dr. Z, he\u2019ll tell you it\u2019s 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: \u201cThis is the double standard: I don\u2019t see a lot of folks\u2026Mormons, or Jews or Christians or Muslims concerned about opioids or concerned about chemotherapy or highly addictive, potentially damage-causing pharmaceutical drugs, so I\u2019m trying to put things into perspective for people. Why are you so concerned about a plant\u2026an essential oil, when you\u2019re going to take a pharmaceutical without a second thought?\u201d 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.
