Why Did I Get Cancer?

I admit that after thirty years in this field, I assume that most of my "health decisions" are correct.

Yet, whenever I record a podcast, I discover more things I'm doing wrong!

GRRRRR….

At this point, I have two options:

• Get frustrated at everything "I've yet to do…"

OR

• Understand that knowledge is power, and one day at a time, incorporate new habits that can help lower disease risk.

Of course, I'm choosing cho...

This episode strays away from our usual path of interviews with oncologists and health experts. Today, we’re going into the world of crime and consequence.

I'm honored to be joined by Kate Moore, the brilliant mind behind "The Radium Girls." This book, a personal favorite of mine, not only captivated me but also disturbed me to the core. 

Today's conversation isn't about your typical crime drama. It's about a crime that unfolded si...

This is a topic I don’t know much about, so I was looking forward to interviewing Cancer Prevention Coach and nurse, Krista.

Krista’s focus is on genetic testing because she’s tested positive for a strong breast cancer gene, and she believes it’s the same gene that caused her mother’s breast cancer.

• I’ve always wondered: if a close relative had cancer does that mean I will get it too?
• What can you do to prevent cancer if it’s a...

Conversations about health and healing often go above and beyond conventional medical treatments. Many holistic methods have been employed to supplement traditional treatment protocols and I had the privilege to talk with Liz Curran, co-director of the Radical Remission Project, about this very topic. 

Witnessing her sister's battle with aggressive breast cancer ignited Liz’s passion to empower individuals in their healing. As a Ce...

Welcome back to part two of my conversation with Dr. Josh Axe! Last week, Dr. Axe discussed the challenges he faced during a dark season of his life, where he found himself unable to walk for an entire year. Despite this adversity, he channeled his time and energy into writing his latest book, "Think of This and Not That."

Today, our talk takes a turn as we explore the connection between mindset, healing, and joy. Dr. Axe discusses...

After moving into her new home, Lisa Beres quickly started to feel not quite right. It took some time to pinpoint where her symptoms were coming from, but once she did, she was on a mission to eradicate the source of the problem - her newly remodeled home! 

Along with her husband Ron, they are The Healthy Home Dream Team®, and they want to help you detox your environment with cheap and easy tips. 

In today’s episode, they share a t...

Dr. Amanda Tieu states, "Acupuncture has little to no risk and helps with pain, stress, and inflammation."

She's seen many success stories, from helping couples with infertility to injured veterans who've tried everything for pain. In the case of Dr. Tieu's Army veteran patient, his Dr. suggested acupuncture as a last-ditch effort to try before getting surgery; spoiler alert, the veteran had so much success with acupuncture and pai...

Dr. Bill Schindler told me that in 2 decades of research, he’d learned two simple truths:

1. Humans are sicker than ever before, and
2. We must learn from the ancestral past to correct the mistakes of the modern food system.

In today's podcast, Dr. S. tells us we should ask ourselves not what we should eat but how; specifically, to look at food in an ancestral way that makes the food we eat as safe and nourishing as it can be fo...

With his extensive expertise in whole-person care and depression treatment, Dr. Jantz engages in insightful conversations on handling toxic relationships.

What are EDCs and why should you care about them? 

Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs) are a group of compounds that, despite being unnoticeable, have the potential to disrupt the delicate balance of our endocrine system. These seemingly harmless substances are part of our daily lives, from the products we use to the food we consume. EDCs lurk in unexpected places, impacting hormonal functions and, consequently, our overall well-...

If you're going to only listen to one of my podcast episodes this year, THIS IS THE ONE!

Wendy is a Toxins Lawyer and clean-living coach, and we had a candid and, at times, frightening conversation about tap water and cancer risk.

Before cancer, I would say that I was suspicious but still trusting; for example, if the water was coming out of my tap, I believed the government was doing its job to keep us safe.

Then the train deraile...

The first standout episode featured sleep expert Devin Burke. Devin shed light on the profound connection between sleep and overall well-being. It's not surprising that this epis...

I loved my conversation with Holistic Nurse Practitioner Alyssa Siegel.

Alyssa is not afraid to go against big pharma to tell us how to use pharmaceutical alternatives, such as supplements and tinctures.

She believes that the body can heal itself if we create a healthy environment so our bodies can thrive. 

She is in hot pursuit of trying to find out what made her patients ill in the first place; what's the root cause of why they'r...

39: Putting ‘Junk’ in Your Heart Will Make You Sick

A candid conversation with Dr. Henry Cloud

Being vulnerable makes me uncomfortable, especially considering how I "used to be" before cancer.

Before cancer, it was crucial to me to be liked. So, "to make" people like me, I didn't always share my opinions or let people get to know the "real me."

When I receive...

38: Can a Lack of Boundaries Contribute to Cancer Risk?

A candid conversation with Boundaries author, Dr. Henry Cloud.

I was 33, single, and struggling with boundaries. I always picked the wrong guy, and then the relationship would blow up, and I'd be crushed and have a crisis of confidence.
