So the biblically rooted thing is probably the most important aspect of this whole thing from my practice's perspective in my life. But I think there's two simple ways to think about it. There's a conversation that we are ignorant to things we don't know. God says in Hosea 4, verse 6, I think that my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. That's a problem.

We don't want to be destroyed by things we don't know. The second thing is iniquities. Those are things that we do know we do anyway and don't really care. It's like, I'm going to harm my body. And this was a more recent revelation that I had about the verse, I think it's 1 Corinthians 13, your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit.

In that, it says, though, like, you know, your bodies are not your own. They were bought with a price. Therefore, honor God with your bodies. And the thing that stuck out to me was like, oh, this isn't mine. Like, if I borrow somebody's car, like, I fill it up full of gas.

Yeah. But, like, if I borrow somebody's car, like, I fill it up full of gas. Like, I'll maybe clean it out a little bit. If it's my car, I'm like, eh, I don't know. It's fine. I'll just maybe not wash it this week or fill it up. But I think having that perspective, like, this is not mine. Like, this is a vessel that God gave me to be a steward over.

That belief is so impactful when it comes to this health stuff because you can have all the information. People have so much information these days about what they could potentially do with their health. Yet most people don't take any action on it. And I think we were talking about this today on the way over here. It's just like in Ecclesiastes, King Solomon had everything.

Richest person probably ever. Thousand chariots, thousand wives.

A thousand wives is a lot of wives. Maybe that's where he went wrong. That was his downfall for sure.

But like, you know, he's talking about and he always says meaningless. It's all vanity under the sun and all this stuff. And I think from a believer's perspective, even just like an average person that isn't a believer, it's like, well, it's all meaningless. What does it even matter? But that's not the point of Ecclesiastes.
