    Your Body Is a Temple: The Missing Link Between Faith and Health

    What if one of the most important conversations about health isn't happening in doctors' offices, gyms, or nutrition programs—but in our understanding of faith? In this powerful episode of the Foundational Health Podcast, Dr. Kevin Schultz sits down with Pastor Paul Berthiaume to unpack the profound, often forgotten connection between faith and physical health. For decades, the modern church has separated spiritual truth from everyday lifestyle choices. Pastor Paul challenges this false dichotomy by revealing how the world is subtly designed to keep us sick, tired, and addicted. From the neurological engineering of processed foods to the toxic dopamine loops of doom-scrolling and alcohol culture, this conversation exposes the systemic traps destroying our vitality—and offers a practical, grace-filled way out. If you are ready to stop managing sickness and start chasing true, foundational vitality through faith, this episode is your roadmap.
