Human beings don’t come equipped with user manuals to become our best and highest selves, so we struggle to connect the dots that make us truly healthy. Health is the consequence of mental, emotional and spiritual alignment, and when we take care of ourselves holistically, the impediments to us reaching whatever we want to create disappear. How do we stop transgressing the laws of health? What does healing actually look like? In this episode, author of the critically acclaimed book "The Optimal Life, Empowering Health, Healing & Longevity", Dr Stephen Bizal talks about the path to a healthy life in every sense of the world.   I describe health in the physical body as a natural expression of spiritual, mental and emotional energy. So the healing process is all about identifying where you may be violating spiritual laws or laws of nature. -Dr Stephen Bizal   Three Things We Learned  Why health flows from the mind, heart and soulIf we’re not reaching the level of health we desire, how do we get to the root cause?
