I’m Juanita Fletcher Cone. Welcome to my website. I am a retired physician. On my website, there’s a lot about health and life from a preventive and spiritual perspective. Years ago I named it Whole Life Health Care.

Health is important to everyone. Health is more that the diagnosis the doctor gave you or the pills you take every day. And it’s not synonymous with being free from disease. The emotions, mind, and soul affect health as much as the physical body. Blood pressure goes up when emotions are high. Calm down and the blood pressure will go down. Regular exercise slows the resting heart rate. Relationships affect health. Have you ever heard someone say, “He makes me sick?” Well, he just might. Or someone say, “She gets on my nerves.” You have probably made room for her in your mind. Health is affected by all parts of who you are and how you relate to the world around you.

Your relationship with God can affect your health. Prayer and meditation helps to settle the mind and the spirit. Meditation has been shown to lower blood pressure. Plus, there are many scriptures in the Bible about health. For starters, there is guidance on what to eat. “Then God said, ‘I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food’ (Genesis 1:29 NIV).” That’s only the beginning. The application of the scriptures to daily living are what I write about in this blog and in my recently published book.
