Show notes
Most people treating anxiety are starting in the wrong place. Madison Prewett Troutt — author, speaker, and podcast host — makes the case that anxiety, loneliness, and chronic exhaustion are primarily spiritual battles, and that no supplement or protocol will produce lasting freedom until the foundation is addressed first.
**In this episode:**
- Why your body is a temple and what it actually means to steward it well — physically, spiritually, and relationally
- The three things every human needs to be truly healthy: connection to God, connection to people, and connection to the earth
- Satan's specific strategies to keep you stuck in fear, comparison, and compromise — and how to recognize them
- A real spiritual prescription for overcoming anxiety (prayer, confession, praise, gratitude, and addressing childhood trauma)
- How community, marriage, and mentorship shape your health just as much as what you eat
- The health habits Madison and Grant actually practice — cold plunge, infrared sauna, and the mindset behind all of it
