You’re the Cure w/ Dr. Ben Edwards

4d ago

What if nutrition isn’t just a health choice—but a spiritual one? In this episode of You’re the Cure , Dr. Ben Edwards sits down with Andy Felton, author of Nourished by Design: A Christ-Centered Approach to Nutrition , for a deep and thought-provoking conversation that bridges theology, science, and real-world health. Andy shares his personal journey from Navy submarine officer to Christian nutrition researcher, explaining how anxiety, infertility, and frustration with both secular health culture and shallow faith-based answers led him to write the book he couldn’t find. Together, Dr. Ben and Andy explore what it means to have an embodied faith —one that takes God’s design for the human body seriously. Andy thoughtfully dismantles the idea that health and pleasure must be at odds, arguing instead that God’s design is both nourishing and delightful. With theological depth and scientific rigor, this episode challenges listeners to rethink food—not as a battleground of fear and restriction, but as a daily invitation to gratitude, wisdom, and faithful living.

In this eye-opening replay episode, Dr. Ben Edwards sits down with Dr. Malcolm Kendrick, author of The Clot Thickens: The Enduring Mystery of Heart Disease , to unravel one of the biggest misconceptions in modern medicine — that cholesterol causes heart disease. Dr. Kendrick takes listeners on a journey through decades of research, exposing how flawed studies and powerful industries shaped misguided dietary guidelines. He explains why the real culprit behind heart disease isn’t cholesterol or saturated fat, but damage to the blood vessel lining — the endothelium — and the cascade of clotting that follows. Learn about the vital role of the glycocalyx (the “slick inner lining” of your blood vessels), why statins don’t meaningfully improve mortality, and how lifestyle factors like sun exposure, sugar, stress, and smoking truly impact heart health.

Together they explore how discovering your true identity —the person God created you to be—is the foundation for genuine peace, health, and purpose. Abraham explains how modern systems—from education to religion—condition us into living from our “fake selves,” disconnected from our divine design. Through powerful analogies like the “chicken coop,” he reveals how false beliefs, shame, and performance-based living keep us trapped in cycles of striving and sickness. Dr. Ben connects these spiritual truths to physical wellness, showing how unresolved identity issues can literally affect our mitochondria, nervous system, and overall health. This is not just another conversation about self-help—it’s an invitation to align your body, soul, and spirit with God’s truth, to rest in His love, and to walk in freedom and purpose.
