In this episode of the Healthy by Heather Brown podcast, Heather welcomes Dr. Dan Sullivan, a chiropractor and health coach, to explore the intersection of faith and wellness. Dr. Sullivan shares his personal journey of coming from a Catholic background before coming to a saving faith as well as growing up in a medically traditional family to discovering the benefits of chiropractic care after a life-changing injury.<br><br>They discuss how standardized medicine came about, concerns with western medicine, and why many treatments focus on symptoms rather than holistic health, focusing on the mental, physical, and spiritual function. Dr. Sullivan emphasizes the importance of looking at the body as a capable, self-healing system, empowered by God’s perfect design.<br><br>The conversation also covers practical advice for parents on managing common childhood ailments naturally, questioning contemporary medical practices, and finding the right advocates for health transitions. Heather and Dr. Sullivan encourage listeners to trust in the body's natural processes, seek holistic health solutions, and lean on faith as a guiding principle in health decisions.<br><br>00:00 Introduction to the Podcast<br>00:18 Meet Dr. Dan Sullivan<br>01:15 Dr. Dan's Personal Health Journey<br>02:02 Discovering Chiropractic Care<br>04:45 The Power of the Human Body<br>06:05 Family Dynamics and Health Choices<br>13:42 Navigating Children's Health Issues<br>20:07 Historical Perspective on Western Medicine<br>25:20 The FDA and Patentable Chemicals<br>26:01 Capitalism and Healthcare<br>26:42 Convenience vs. Health<br>27:32 Biblical Perspective on Health<br>28:56 Navigating Health Information<br>35:02 Vaccine Controversies<br>39:47 Encouragement for Moms<br>47:23 Closing Thoughts and Prayer<br>49:01 Outro and Next Steps<br><br><b>Links from this episode: </b><br>Dr. Josh Axe Spills Secrets on His Exact Routine for a Healthy Mind Episode: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/healthy-by-heather-brown/id1638763905?i=1000656235765<br><br>Semaglutides Dirty Secret: The Truth about Ozempic, Fad Diets, and Long Term Weight Loss with Naturopath Dr. John Palmer Episode: <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/healthy-by-heather-brown/id1638763905?i=1000626786408" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/healthy-by-heather-brown/id1638763905?i=1000626786408</a><br><br>Candace Owens Shot in the Dark Docuseries: <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/show/candace" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.dailywire.com/show/candace</a>  <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt30249032/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.imdb.com/title/tt30249032/</a><br><br>The Men who Built America documentary: <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2167393/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2167393/</a><br><br><b>Scriptures referenced in this episode:</b><br> “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.” Romans 12:2<br><br> “Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them.” Ephesians 5:11 <br><br><b>Connect with Heather:</b><br><ul><li>7 Days FREE of the HBHB Membership: <a href="https://www.mylifewellloved.com/membership/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.mylifewellloved.com/membership/</a></li><li>Heather's ebooks: <a href="https://www.mylifewellloved.com/product-category/digital-products/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.mylifewellloved.com/product-category/digital-products/</a></li><li>Heather's Amazon favorites: <a href="https://urlgeni.us/amazon/HBstorefront" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://urlgeni.us/amazon/HBstorefront</a></li><li>Heather's freebies: <a href="https://www.mylifewellloved.com/freebies/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.mylifewellloved.com/freebies/</a></li><li>Heather's favorite liquid collagen: <a href="https://www.mylifewellloved.com/everyday-must-haves/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.mylifewellloved.com/everyday-must-haves/</a></li><li>Heather's email list: <a href="https://spring-pine-631.myflodesk.com/9347a138-077e-4c55-bf61-2137aeed89ea" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://spring-pine-631.myflodesk.com/9347a138-077e-4c55-bf61-2137aeed89ea</a></li><li>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/healthybyheatherbrown/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.instagram.com/healthybyheatherbrown/</a></li><li>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/HealthyByHeatherBrown" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.facebook.com/HealthyByHeatherBrown</a></li><li>Pinterest: <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/healthybyheatherbrown/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.pinterest.com/healthybyheatherbrown/</a></li><li
