When it comes to supplements, quality matters. Many manufacturers are either ignorant, or they just don't have the resources to maintain proper quality control. Low quality supplements could do you more harm than good.

That's why I only recommend professional-grade products that are 3d party tested. These manufacturers encourage independent 3d party certification. Get peace of mind knowing that what's inside the bottle matches what's on the label.

Order supplements through my Fullscript store.

Summary (1-Minute Read)

In this episode, David Sandstrom delves into the second pillar of holistic health: love for others. He emphasizes the importance of connected, loving relationships, citing the biblical truth from Genesis 2:18 that "it is not good for man to be alone." Sandstrom explains the hierarchy and harmony of the spirit, mind, and body connection, underscoring the notion that a spirit animated by God will lead to a healthier mind and body.


The crux of the episode centers around the vital role of relationships in our overall well-being. Sandstrom cites alarming statistics that highlight the detrimental impact of fatherless homes on youth, including higher rates of incarceration, school dropouts, homelessness, and suicide. He also references a Harvard Health News article that links a lack of social ties to increased mortality risk, comparable to the effects of smoking 15 cigarettes a day. The main points covered in this episode include:


  • The hierarchy and harmony of the spirit, mind, and body connection, with the spirit as the highest and most noble part

  • The biblical basis for the importance of relationships, citing Genesis 2:18 and Jesus' teachings on love

  • The devastating consequences of relational disconnect, particularly the impact of fatherless homes on youth

  • The powerful influence of social connections on long-term health, as evidenced by scientific research

  • The need to address unmet relational needs from childhood, as "time does not heal all wounds"

  • The importance of confession and forgiveness in maintaining healthy relationships

  • The concept of unilateral, unconditional forgiveness, modeled by Jesus on the cross

Sandstrom emphasizes that the medical establishment often overlooks the crucial role of relationships in health outcomes, and he encourages listeners to take proactive steps to develop and maintain strong, connected relationships. By applying the biblical principles of love, service, confession, and forgiveness, Sandstrom believes individuals can experience the spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical benefits of holistic health.
