Why Your Soul Is Starving & How to Nourish It | John Eldredge

Are you feeling constantly stressed, overwhelmed, or disconnected from a deeper, more meaningful life? You’re not alone. The modern world—filled with endless digital distractions, relentless busyness, and artificial inputs—is quietly starving our souls. But what if there was a way to reclaim your peace, restore your energy, and truly hear God again?

In this episode of The Dr. Josh Axe Show, best-selling author and counselor John Eldredge joins Dr. Axe to reveal why so many people today feel burnt out, anxious, and spiritually numb—and what to do about it. Together, they explore how our phones, screens, and overstimulated lives are rewiring our brains, blocking our ability to heal, and keeping us from experiencing the presence of God.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • The shocking impact of screen time on your mental, physical, and spiritual health
  • Why the modern world is designed to keep you constantly distracted and disconnected
  • How digital addiction is shaping your brain and making you more anxious
  • The one simple habit that can transform your relationship with God in just one minute a day
  • Why nature is critical for your health—and how to reintroduce it into your daily life
  • The #1 reason people struggle to heal (and why it has nothing to do with genetics)
  • Two life-changing rules to create sacred space and regain control over your time

If you’ve ever felt like something is missing—like your soul is starving for real connection, peace, and purpose—this conversation is for you. Tune in to discover simple, powerful steps to break free from digital overload, reclaim your health, and experience God in a deeper way than ever before.
