Leaven’s Blueprint to hylomorphic health
Chasing symptoms is like chasing your tail. It gets you nowhere.
Sickness, whether that be of the body or soul, will continue to fester if not corrected at the source.
Here at Leaven, we actually get to the root by optimizing foundations of hylomorphic health through a simple three-step approach.
01
Clear out the old leaven
02
Fill with the new leaven of Christ
03
rise up in activity
Like a phoenix, which erupts into a fiery blaze and rises from its ashes, we must put off our old man, which belongs to corruption, and put on the new man, belonging to Christ, to go to the heights.
In order to resurrect the world, we must first activate the resurrection potential latent within us.
To make the world alive again, we first must become leaven.
And a little leaven goes a long way. Here, it’s not about doing more. It’s doing less, better.

A note from the founder…
I am entirely convinced that the health crisis we face today, where people are drowning in the toxic soup of chronic illnesses and metabolic diseases without any sure answer as to why, is tied more deeply to the spiritual crisis than we could ever know. As the culture has lost touch with its ancient roots and embraced modernity, it has only gotten sicker and sicker.
Our journey to heaven is not a disembodied pilgrimage. We are body + soul. Yet, the pendulum often swings violently to either extreme, leading men to believe they must forfeit one for the other. Modern culture gives you two options: adhere to a Gnostic, Platonic angelism that insists the soul must escape the prison of the body for true, spiritual enlightenment, or commit to the cult of the body that glorifies the flesh and places it on a pedestal at the cost of the soul. Leaven Wellness refuses to dance to either tune. This is the proper order Leaven seeks to uphold: the body is the horse and the soul is the rider. To run this race well, we must tend to both.
My late grandmother, a Texas Hall of Fame cowgirl, would be the first to say you cannot separate the cowboy from his horse. Likewise, the elegance and incredible power of the body will aid the soul in its journey of defeating sin and achieving communion with God. The body and soul are not distinct, competing realities but together constitute the very fabric of the human person. To safeguard this sacred harmony, I coined the term hylomorphic health, which gives man the freedom to both grow in bodily wellness and advance in the spiritual life without any conflict. Health, in a Catholic perspective, is not a vain attempt to escape death, for we know we must die. Rather, it is a vehicle enabling man to energetically embrace the mission of the Church to transform the world!
The thief comes to kill, steal, and destroy, but Jesus came that we might have life, and have it abundantly (John 10:10). To live as leaven is to live in the abundance of Christ through Mary. Leaven is a culture of men that goes against the grain of the world to reclaim abundance of authentic Catholic masculinity in Christ Jesus.
Simplicity is the remedy to the toxicity we face in the world. The cure to this great plague is not a product of tomorrow, as so frequently advertised, but a forgotten secret of yesterday. It’s time to tap into the ancient ways. Rediscover them with Leaven, and watch yourself come alive.
