In Episode 57 of the Joyful Health Show, we talk through the often underestimated yet crucial foundations of health. Join us as we delve into the "first-things-first" principles that form the bedrock of well-being, often neglected in the chaos of modern life and the temptations for quick fixes. In this conversation, Alex shares with us how God turned her heart to a more holistic approach and taught her about five foundations of health that she abides by and teaches in her profession. What You’ll Learn: Start Small, Grow Well: Learn why beginning with small, intentional steps in spiritual, physical, and emotional well-being can lead to lasting transformation.
