Healing the Body by Restoring the Spirit: Unlocking True Health Through the Nervous System

Welcome to The Health Quest, your guide to God's will for good health.I'm Dr. Sal, and today, we're honored to feature a special conversation with Dr. Joshua Henk, an inspiring chiropractor who beautifully merges science, spirit, and holistic healing to help people realign with their true design.

In this powerful discussion, Dr. Josh shares how true health isn't just about fixing symptoms — it's about reconnecting the body, mind, and spirit through the nervous system, God's master communication network within us.

Your Nervous System: The Divine Highway

Dr. Josh describes the nervous system as the ultimate communication pathway — where heaven (the brain) directs the body (the physical world). Like a car, your body has two modes:

• Eco Mode (Rest and Digest): Your natural, healing state.

• Sport Mode (Fight or Flight): Your emergency stress response.

  
  

The problem today?Most people are stuck in permanent "sport mode" — living in stress, anxiety, sugar cravings, and inflammation. This overdrive state leads to:

• Weakened immunity

• Digestive issues

• Hormone imbalance

• Higher risks for chronic diseases like cancer and diabetes

  
  

Healing starts by calming the nervous system and restoring divine flow throughout the body.

Dr. Josh’s Journey: From Artist to Healer

Dr. Josh's path wasn't straightforward.Though he initially pursued art (his passion), he was drawn back to healing, influenced by family and a deeper spiritual calling. He realized that most traditional education teaches what the body is, but not who made it or why it exists.

Through chiropractic care, he discovered a profound truth:

"The power that made the body heals the body."

This philosophy transformed his practice, emphasizing not just pain relief, but helping individuals reconnect with the divine blueprint inside of them.

The Sacred Structure: Anatomy Meets Spirituality

Dr. Josh explains that the base of the skull — the cranio-cervical junction — is the gateway where divine intelligence (Holy Spirit) enters the body.

• Atlas (the top vertebra) supports the skull, like Atlas holding up the world in Greek mythology.

• The Cruciform Ligament (shaped like a cross) represents the bridge between the body and heaven.

• 33 Vertebrae in the Spine symbolize the spiritual journey — a parallel to Jesus' life, culminating in crucifixion at age 33 and transcending into divine existence.

  
  

In chiropractic terms, when the Atlas and Axis are properly aligned, the body reconnects to the source of healing. When misaligned, it disrupts the flow of life-giving energy throughout the nervous system.

Health Isn't Just About the Physical

True healing isn't just physical adjustment; it’s holistic.Dr. Josh encourages:

• Testing the nervous system's function using tools like thermography and heart rate variability — not just relying on MRIs or X-rays.

• Identifying barriers to healing, whether they are:

  • Physical (muscle tightness, spinal misalignment)

  • Chemical (toxins, heavy metals, hormone disruptors)

  • Emotional (stress, trauma, limiting beliefs)

• Removing interference so the body can heal itself — just as God intended.

  
  

Chiropractic is not about forcing healing — it’s about clearing the path for healing.

Why Most of Us Are Chronically Stressed (And How to Fix It)

Dr. Josh explains that modern life forces us into a state of constant emergency:

• Processed foods fuel inflammation.

• Constant stimulation stresses the brain.

• Sleep deprivation and toxic products overload the body.

  
  

To heal, we must slow down and:

• Prioritize real sleep (wake naturally, not by alarm)

• Journal and reflect before bedtime

• Eat living foods and drink pure water

• Reduce chemical exposure on the skin and in the home

• Spend time in prayer, meditation, and community

  
  

"The spirit cannot grow with synthetic chemicals. God's fingerprint is not on Tylenol, but it is on turmeric."

A Final Word: Your Healing Is a Return to God's Design

You are a spiritual being having a physical experience.Your body isn’t broken — it’s simply blocked.Remove the interference, and the life force God placed within you will flow again.

Whether through gentle chiropractic realignment, mindful living, or restoring trust in your divine design, true healing is about returning to the way God created you to thrive.
