This week on Real Talk with Rachael I'm chatting with a very
special guest - my husband, Dr. Matthew Gilbert. Matthew Gilbert,
DC, of BBC Health in Lewisville, Texas, is passionate about taking
a collaborative, integrative approach to health care. He believes
that patients receive the most health benefits when medical and
chiropractic doctors work together to provide a comprehensive,
personalized treatment plan.
Dr. Gilbert established BBC Health to integrate his expertise in
chiropractic techniques with family medicine to provide patients of
all ages in the Lewisville area with the best medical,
chiropractic, and rehabilitation services around. He fosters a
warm, caring, family environment in an easily accessible,
state-of-the-art facility. Dr. Gilbert specializes in multiple
chiropractic techniques and spinal rehabilitation, and he’s an
expert at evaluating and treating sports-related
injuries.
When not at the office, Dr. Gilbert enjoys spending time with
his wife, Rachael, and their three children, Ellie, Olivia, and
Zeke.
Key Points from Our Conversation:
- We all struggle with some form of comparison. In my case, I was
comparing my current body to a previous version of myself when Matt
offered this life-changing perspective - "Stop comparing yourself
to other women, including your younger self. She’s another
woman."
- Fear of aging indicates a fear of death. But when we have hope
of eternal life with Jesus, there is nothing to fear. Everything
else will fade away, but we can have confidence in our relationship
with Christ.
- To be able to extend unconditional love to our spouse, we must
experience the unconditional love of Christ ourselves. Our ability
to love is an overflow of His love for us.
- We often believe that our toxic body image only affects us, but
what we believe about ourselves greatly affects our marriages,
families, sex life, and relationships.
- Husbands are called to tend to their wives as a gardener would
tend to his garden. You cannot beat a plant into growth, you must
provide a supportive environment for it to flourish.
Let’s Get Real Practical:
Break the comparison yardstick with the 3 Rs: recognize, repent,
and rejoice
