Bad Relationships Can Make You Sick — Here’s What Science Says
Can bad relationships affect your health? Chronic stress doesn’t only affect how you feel emotionally—it can affect your body too.
In this video, I discuss research published in JAMA examining the association between stress-related disorders and autoimmune disease, and I connect the science of chronic stress with what the Bible teaches about peace, relationships, and guarding your heart.
Proverbs 14:30 says, “A heart at peace gives life to the body.”
This is not to say that stress or unhealthy relationships automatically cause autoimmune disease. But research continues to show an important connection between psychological stress and physical health.
If you’ve been dealing with a toxic relationship, chronic stress, anxiety, or difficulty setting boundaries, I hope this message encourages you to protect your peace and take care of your health—physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
