When my mom was battling with cancer the second time, we decided to take an all natural approach.

0:19.9

We said we're not doing conventional

0:21.2

treatments. We're going to really focus on healing her mind, body, and spirit. We started juicing

0:25.2

vegetables, doing turmeric and rishi mushroom, all kinds of, you know, very specific protocol. But one of the

0:30.8

biggest differences between that first time and that second time was we said, we're going to really

0:34.1

focus on spiritual healing. And my mom beat cancer naturally her tumor shrunk

0:38.7

and amazing yeah and i believe that a lot of diseases even cancer more than any there is a very deep

0:44.3

spiritual and mental root that's feeding those tumors it's feeding that disease so if we can go and get to

0:50.3

the root the body can heal josh by the time i was 20 years old i was a train off the tracks. I was a drunk. I was a fighter, a brawler. I was misogynist, a racist, and a hypocrite. I heard sermons about God's forgiveness, and I thought, I just can't, I can't believe it. He couldn't forgive a jerk like me. 50 years ago, I heard a sermon that they convinced me, okay, I'm going to trust

1:11.6

God to forgive me. What is heaven going to be like? So if you want to know the end, you go back

1:16.6

to the beginning.

2:03.2

So, if you want to know the end, you go back welcome the Dr. Josh Axe show. I'm so excited today. We have Max Located with us here in the house, and he's authored over 44 books. He's a pastor. He's a person that I've read many of his books. I know my mom is a big fan. She's read loads of them. And today we're going to talk about numerous things. One, how to win the battle of your mind. So many of us have negative thoughts that lead to depression, anxiety, lack of purpose, lack of motivation in our life. And we know that there is this deep, deep mind, body connection that oftentimes makes us ill. And so today we're going to go through

2:09.6

and Max is going to share with us how to heal our mind, how to heal our emotions, how to have a deeper,

2:15.6

more intimate connection with God and so much more. Max, welcome the show. Thank you so much, Josh. I'm super excited to be here. It's a great honor. And I can't wait to pick your brain on a few questions that I have. Well, same here. Well, again, it's a real honor here. Like I said, I mean, I've read, you've been reading your books now for, I mean, a long time. I mean, probably, you know, 25 years. So, so, so, so for a long time now. And one of the things we do on this show, you know, we hit a lot on, on diet and what to eat and supplementation and sort of the latest therapies and things like that. But we also talk a lot about spiritual health and mental health and the importance of that. And I've always had sort of that focus,
