Metro Voice News Celebrating Faith, Family & Community
In an era of wellness trends and health fads, one board-certified physician is highlighting an often-overlooked factor in optimal health – the transformative power of God’s love. Dr. Don Colbert, author of “Dr. Colbert’s Spiritual Health Zone,” presents a compelling case for spiritual wellness as a cornerstone of overall health.
Recent research has consistently shown a positive relationship between spirituality and favorable health outcomes, lending scientific credence to Colbert’s approach. Harvard researchers note that integrating spirituality into healthcare can significantly improve individual and population well-being.
According to decades of data, maintaining a relationship with God demonstrably improves mental health and overall well-being. This scientific backing adds weight to Colbert’s assertion that abiding in God’s love serves as a protective factor against various health challenges.
As mental health conditions become increasingly prevalent, research suggests these issues may be rooted in deeper spiritual concerns. Colbert warns about the dangers of pursuing alternative spiritual paths or embracing what he terms “woke Christianity,” which he argues offers hollow versions of biblical principles without their transformative power.
Drawing from Romans 12:2, Colbert emphasizes the importance of mental renewal and resistance to worldly influences. His perspective is informed by more than 25 years of medical practice in Orlando and Dallas, combining traditional medical expertise with preventive and nutritional medicine.
More churches are recognizing the need to nourish both physical and spiritual health, particularly as many people report increased stress and decreased energy in recent times. Colbert’s integrated approach, supported by his extensive medical background and multiple board certifications, offers a roadmap for achieving optimal health through spiritual wellness.
His credentials include board certification in both family practice and anti-aging medicine, extensive training in nutritional and preventive medicine, and authorship of bestselling books that have sold over 10 million copies. Through his career, he has treated more than 50,000 patients, integrating spiritual principles with evidence-based medical practice.
