body and soul
Every part involved
Body and soul together means completely, with one's entire being—physical and spiritual aspects united in a single effort or commitment.
The phrase emphasizes total devotion or involvement: She threw herself into the project body and soul.
To keep body and soul together is to maintain the bare minimum for survival, especially financially: The job barely paid enough to keep body and soul together.
