97: Iridology with Dr. Rebecca Thomas

One of the many topics covered in this week’s podcast with Naturopath and Iridologist, Dr. Rebecca Thomas, is our belief that God would not create the body to attack itself. This is the conventional thought regarding autoimmune conditions but we discuss how the body is innately wise and designed to heal because that’s how our Creator made us. 

Listen in as we talk amazing things about the body, including how Dr. Thomas uses iridology and sclerology as a health assessment tool. She was able to recognize my past and present gut health, my family’s genetic tendencies, the fact that I need lymphatic support and so much more - ALL by studying the patterns in my eye. Fascinating!
