Listen "Episode 12 – There’s No Such Thing As Disease (with Dr. Ben Edwards)"
Episode Synopsis
Friends… this conversation will blow your mind! Today I sit down with Dr. Ben Edwards from Veritas Medical, and we dig into a radical but powerful idea — there’s no such thing as “disease.” Instead, what we call disease is really the consequence of what’s happening inside our bodies — inflammation, stress, toxins, and a lifestyle that doesn’t match how we were designed to live.
Dr. Ben shares his journey from being a conventional MD (even making front-page news for turning around a county clinic!) to discovering a better way to help people truly heal. We talk about epigenetics — how your thoughts, nutrition, and environment can literally turn genes on or off — and why you’re not doomed by your genetics. This episode is packed with hope: diabetes, autoimmune issues, even heart disease can be reversed when we get to the root cause instead of just masking symptoms.
We also unpack the Veritas 4 Pillars of Health — Nutrition, Hydration, Movement, and Peace — and how aligning with these pillars gives your body the chance to heal the way God designed it to. And yes, we get real about personal responsibility and the courage it takes to take back your health, even when the system pushes against it.
About Dr. Ben Edwards:
Baylor undergrad, UT-Houston Medical School, Chief Resident at McLennan County Family Practice in Waco, and the only physician in rural Post, TX for 7 years before founding Veritas Medical 13 years ago to focus on true healing.
