Dr. Edgar Rac holds a Ph.D. in Theology and has devoted more than 15 years to the study and practical application of demonology, spiritual warfare, and relationship psychology. Through extensive research and hands-on experience, he has developed a deep understanding of the complex relationship between spiritual influences and emotional, mental, and physical well-being. Having participated in hundreds of exorcisms, Dr. Rac brings a rare perspective to discerning the differences between mental illness and potential spiritual oppression. His discussion with us emphasizes the importance of addressing spiritual, psychological, and physical factors when seeking healing, restoration, and lasting wellness. Dr. Rac also shares the ways individuals, and even churches, may unknowingly open doors to negative spiritual influences, and how greater awareness, discipline, and your relationship with God can help prevent spiritual strongholds from taking root.

Anxiety is often described as something happening “in your head,” but what if it’s actually a whole-body experience? In this episode, Dr. Justina & Dr. Sofia explore how anxiety can manifest physically and impact multiple body systems — from digestion and hormones to metabolism, inflammation, sleep, and immune function.  Rather than viewing anxiety purely as a mental health condition, we take a deeper look at the many root causes that can contribute to anxious symptoms. We discuss how blood sugar imbalance, nutrient deficiencies, hormonal shifts, nervous system dysregulation, chronic stress, environmental factors, and lifestyle patterns can all play a role. This episode offers a more holistic and empowering perspective: anxiety is not simply a personal weakness or mindset problem. It is often a signal from the body asking for support, regulation, and restoration. These episodes expand on topics we referenced today and offer deeper insight into supporting anxiety from a whole-body perspective: 044 Dr. Christy Matusiak:  NET007 Dr. Melissa Kroll:  Testing for EmotionsFollow us on Instagram @justinab.nd & @valeofhealth
