An Orthodox Christian Approach to Health & Wellness

What does it mean to truly care for your body, mind, and soul in a way that aligns with Christ? Orthodox Health explores the ancient wisdom of the Orthodox Church in cultivating true well-being—spiritually, physically, and mentally.

In this podcast, we dive into topics like fasting, nutrition, exercise, prayer, and breaking free from modern health deceptions—all through an Orthodox Christian lens. Through guest interviews, theological insights, and practical applications, we challenge the consumer-driven health industry and return to a balanced, faith-centered life.
