“I think the Bible is the greatest health book ever written,” Axe, a doctor of natural medicine in Tennessee, told Fox News Digital in an interview. “If somebody’s dealing with any health condition, whether it’s depression, anxiety, cancer, heart disease, diabetes, PCOS, infertility<\/a>, hypothyroidism or low testosterone, the Bible has a solution. If you follow a diet based on the Bible, you can be made well.”<\/p>\n PROTEIN SHAKE SAFETY DEBATE ERUPTS AFTER PROBE REVEALS LEAD IN POPULAR PRODUCTS<\/a><\/p>\n Here are more details.\u00a0<\/p>\n Faith and healing through biblical principles<\/p>\n Both Axe and Rubin have faced serious health challenges that deepened their faith<\/a> and inspired their work, they said.<\/p>\n Dr. Josh Axe and Jordan Rubin are co-authors of the book “The Biblio Diet.”\u00a0 (Hannah Corwin; courtesy of Dr. Josh Axe.)<\/p>\n Rubin was diagnosed with Crohn\u2019s colitis as a teenager, and later with severe cancer.\u00a0<\/p>\n After visiting dozens of doctors with no success, he met a man who told him that if he were to follow a diet based on the Bible \u2014 proven through history and confirmed by science \u2014 he could be well.<\/p>\n “After another 40-day period of an upgraded diet \u2014 plus detoxification, and emotional and spiritual therapy \u2014 I overcame cancer that was referred to as terminal and did not undergo chemotherapy<\/a>, radiation or additional surgeries,” Rubin told Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n KETO DIET HAS SURPRISING IMPACT ON MENTAL HEALTH, RESEARCHERS DISCOVER<\/a><\/p>\n Dr. Axe\u2019s own journey began while he was helping his mother overcome breast cancer.\u00a0<\/p>\n “I put together a program for my mom that included certain foods<\/a> in the Bible, like pomegranate and olive oil \u2014 and also prayer, faith, praise and worship,” he said.<\/p>\n “I think the Bible is the greatest health book ever written.”<\/p>\n Later, when a medical procedure left Axe with a spinal infection, he again turned to a Bible-based diet and prayer, combining them with regenerative treatments to heal.<\/p>\n “I listened to the diagnosis of my great physician, not my ordinary physician<\/a>,” the doctor said. “The great physician tells you to live with hope in all things and believe in the miraculous \u2014 and I did. Now I\u2019m 100% healed.”<\/p>\n What a Bible-based diet looks like<\/p>\n Food is mentioned repeatedly in the Bible, and both authors believe the core foods discussed can form the foundation of a healthy modern diet.\u00a0<\/p>\n Key examples include red meat, whole-grain sourdough bread<\/a>, olive oil, dairy, fruits like pomegranates and figs, and natural sweeteners, such as raw local honey.<\/p>\n A Bible-based diet includes foods like red meat and dairy, which some have argued should be foods to avoid. (iStock)<\/p>\n Red meat, the authors say, is a “superfood” that provides protein, creatine, glutamine, carnitine, zinc, iron and B6.\u00a0<\/p>\n “If you look at the Bible\u2019s longest-lived heroes, anytime they could afford red meat, they would consume it,” Rubin said.<\/p>\n RED MEAT CAN HELP YOUR MOOD IF PART OF A HEALTHY, BALANCED DIET, STUDIES SUGGEST<\/a><\/p>\n Bread, often demonized in modern diets<\/a>, also plays a key role when prepared correctly.\u00a0<\/p>\n “Properly sourced and properly prepared grains can be a part of a healthy diet,” Rubin said. “With Jesus being called the bread of life, it wouldn\u2019t make sense if bread was bad for everyone. The way it\u2019s processed and preserved matters.”<\/p>\n VIRAL MORNING WELLNESS ROUTINE PROMISES MORE ENERGY AND FOCUS BY NOON<\/a><\/p>\n Olive oil, frequently referenced in scripture, supports skin, metabolism and cardiovascular health<\/a>. Dairy \u2014 particularly from sheep, goats or certain dairy cows \u2014 can also be beneficial.\u00a0<\/p>\n “The land of milk and honey was not just a euphemism,” Rubin noted. “Dairy can be very healthy<\/a> if it\u2019s whole, raw and grass-fed.”<\/p>\n Raw, local honey serves as a natural sweetener and immune system booster, while unprocessed whole salt provides essential minerals. Avocados, figs and fresh fruits are other staples.\u00a0<\/p>\n “Eat foods that God created and in a form that\u2019s healthy for the body<\/a>,” Rubin advised. “You can take red meat or an apple and make it unhealthy by how you grow, raise, process and prepare it.”<\/p>\n Foods to consider avoiding<\/p>\n The authors argued that people should avoid foods labeled “unclean” in Leviticus \u2014 such as pork, shellfish and shrimp.\u00a0<\/p>\n “Pigs, shrimp and other scavengers don\u2019t have the system to properly process toxins,” Rubin said.<\/p>\n Axe believes that living a healthy life is one important factor to living faithfully. (Courtesy of Dr. Josh Axe.)<\/p>\n They also warned against modern processed foods, including those with high-fructose corn syrup, food dyes and refined sugars<\/a>.<\/p>\n Even foods considered healthy can become harmful when overly processed.\u00a0<\/p>\n “If Moses were here today, what would the food laws look like?” they ask in “The Biblio Diet” \u2014 encouraging readers to apply biblical principles to modern nutrition<\/a>.<\/p>\n Fasting and other biblical health practices<\/p>\n Beyond food, Axe and Rubin highlight spiritual disciplines that impact both body and soul \u2014 particularly fasting.<\/p>\n CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP<\/a><\/p>\n “There\u2019s no doubt that fasting is one of the greatest healing breakthroughs someone can experience,” Dr. Axe said.\u00a0<\/p>\n Fasting can begin simply by avoiding food for a 10-hour window overnight, allowing the body to “clean up damaged cells, cancer cells<\/a>, parasites and infections.”\u00a0<\/p>\n “Fasting is one of the greatest healing breakthroughs someone can experience.”<\/p>\n He added, “There\u2019s a lot of medical literature on it being the greatest thing you can do to reverse the aging process and activate longevity<\/a>.”<\/p>\n CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTER<\/a><\/p>\n For some, fasting can also bring spiritual clarity.\u00a0<\/p>\n “I can tell you personally [that] spiritual growth [brings a] deeper connection to God [and] clearer thinking \u2014 the ability to hear God\u2019s voice,” Dr. Axe said.<\/p>\n Olive oil is a key food noted in the Bible, and can be used in a variety of recipes.\u00a0 (iStock.)<\/p>\n Rubin agreed, emphasizing the importance of emotional healing as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n “During my successful battle with cancer, I made spiritual health a priority,” he said. “I wrote out a prayer from the Bible<\/a> and quoted it out loud three times a day \u2014 it was medicine to me.”\u00a0<\/p>\n He also focused on forgiveness, calling it “essential” to his recovery.<\/p>\n Best to consult multiple sources<\/p>\n The authors stressed that “The Biblio Diet” isn\u2019t a one-size-fits-all solution.<\/p>\n “It\u2019s a great diet for everyone, but due to the number of health problems<\/a> people have today, there is a level of customization that people can benefit from,” Dr. Axe said.<\/p>\n TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ<\/a><\/p>\n The diet, they noted, isn\u2019t restrictive \u2014 it can even include waffles, pizza, cookies and ice cream made with wholesome, Bible-approved ingredients.<\/p>\n Rubin advises anyone facing health challenges to stay calm, seek peace and consult multiple sources.\u00a0<\/p>\n Jordan Rubin still eats delicious foods while following a Bible-based diet, but he does so in a healthy way. (Sarah Partain Tran.)<\/p>\n “Take a deep breath. Believe that God has provided for your healing. Seek a second opinion, and most of all, do what you have peace about.”<\/p>\n Axe and Rubin view health as a form of worship,<\/a> they said \u2014 a way to honor God through the body.<\/p>\n![\"A](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/dr-josh-axe-jordan-rubin-biblio-diet.jpg\")
