1. Introduction to Healthy & Redeemed with Healey Ikerd
Healthy & Redeemed
11/07/24 • 4 min
I introduce myself and the new Healthy and Redeemed podcast. I share my desires and goals of helping people live healthier lives as Christians.
In future episodes, I will share practical ways for you to become more emotionally healthy and deepen your faith. As a follower of Jesus, it's important that you live as healthy as possible—no matter what you have experienced in the past or what you may be facing now. Sometimes mental issues can get in the way of spiritual growth. Unmanaged emotions can also cause undue stress in life and relationships. Sometimes it can even cause others to turn away from the church or their faith.
My hope is that, by becoming emotionally healthier, Christians can more effectively reflect the image of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in their daily lives.
Thanks for listening! The information provided is based on my own thoughts, beliefs, education, and experiences.

5. Why Sleep is Vital to Mental Health
Healthy & Redeemed
11/21/24 • 26 min
In this episode of Healthy and Redeemed, we dive into the essential foundation for stable emotional and mental health. I focus on three parts of that foundation—sleep, exercise, and nutrition— emphasizing how each area uniquely contributes to emotional resilience, helping us face daily challenges with greater stability.
Special focus is given to the importance of sleep, an area often overlooked but deeply influential in healing, memory, and emotional regulation. I explain the benefits of quality sleep, from brain detoxification to mood regulation, and highlight how REM sleep supports the recovery from trauma.
Whether you’re struggling mood swings or just want to stabilize your emotions, I hope to offer insights and actionable advice that you can use.
Don’t miss this episode as we uncover why these daily habits are crucial and how small changes can make a powerful difference in our emotional health journey.
Thanks for listening! The information provided is based on my own thoughts, beliefs, education, and experiences.
