In this episode of Ex-Psychic Saved, Jenn welcomes registered nurse and board-certified functional medicine practitioner Melissa Schreibfeder, founder of the Christian Functional Medicine Academy. Together they take a deep dive into what holistic health truly is — and what it isn’t.

They expose how New Age practices like Reiki, yoga, mindfulness meditation, “energy work,” and even outright witchcraft have infiltrated healthcare, wellness programs, and churches under innocent-sounding labels like “holistic” and “integrative.” Melissa explains the biblical roots of holistic care, the importance of treating the whole person (mind, body, and spirit), and how Christians can pursue natural health without opening demonic doors.

You’ll hear:

  • The difference between biblical holistic care and counterfeit New Age practices
  • How functional medicine can honor God’s design for healing
  • Real examples of deception in the wellness world
  • Why prayer, nutrition, and Scripture-based care lead to better outcomes
  • The dangers of blending Christianity with occult-leaning “healing” methods
  • How Melissa created a Christian training program for practitioners to serve without compromise

This episode is eye-opening, encouraging, and equips believers to pursue health with discernment — without falling into spiritual traps.
