What if the “healthy” supplements you trust are quietly increasing your cancer risk?

In this episode, I’m joined by Keith Bishop, a retired pharmacist, clinical nutritionist, cancer coach, author, and founder of Prevail Over Cancer. In his work he brings decades of experience at the crossroads of pharmacy, natural medicine, and cancer care.

His journey from pharmacy owner to cancer-focused practitioner started when a few of his family members faced prostate cancer. This pushed him to study food, genetics, and supplementation long before it was mainstream. This even made him “the witch doctor” in the traditional medicine community. The conversation covers the hidden risks of folic acid, what supplements are useless, and how testing can reveal the gaps that diet and supplements alone can’t fix.

You’ll Learn:



• Why folic acid supplements can raise your cancer risk
• What forms of minerals are almost impossible to absorb
• The link between the MTHFR gene and higher cancer risk
• How to manage nutrient deficiencies when your body can’t absorb food properly
• Why vitamin D doesn’t function like a vitamin
• How genetics can block the benefits of Vitamin D
• The three supplements Keith would never live without for cancer prevention
• The number one thing you need to focus on before supplements
• The biggest mistakes people make when it comes to supplementation
• The easy to follow rule Keith uses to guide his daily meals and portion control
• How infrared sauna use functions as a cancer cell killer

Slowing down isn’t lazy. It’s medicine for your nervous system, and it might be the missing piece in your cancer story.

In this episode, I walk through the years leading up to my cancer diagnosis and why I believe stress was the common thread that set the stage. Caregiving for my mom through her stage four cancer, swallowing grief, pushing through burnout, even over-exercising, it all added up. There is a big difference between acute and chronic stress, how it hijacks your immune system, and why it matters for cancer prevention and healing. There are some simple, practical tools that calm your body that anybody can start doing today. It’s about building awareness and reshaping the terrain inside your body so it can finally start to repair.

You’ll Learn:



• What happens inside your body when cortisol and adrenaline stay elevated for too long
• The link between chronic stress and weakened immune surveillance against abnormal cells
• Why my genetic testing showed no inherited cancer risk and what that revealed about environment
• How chronic stress can flip on inflammatory pathways through epigenetics
• Practical tools that quickly move your body from fight-or-flight into rest-and-repair
• The role of boundaries, sleep, and slowing down as medicine for your nervous system
• Why awareness is the first step to breaking free from chronic stress

There are only eight things I refuse to skip for my health… even on my hardest days.

In this episode, I share the eight daily practices that keep me grounded, healthy, and moving forward as an eight-year  non-Hodgkin's lymphoma cancer survivor. I take you back to the years after chemo when I felt stuck in PTSD, frozen in fear, and disconnected from my own body, and I explain exactly how I rebuilt from there. These habits aren’t fancy or complicated, but they’ve changed everything about how I feel day to day.

You’ll learn:

• The drink that delivers three times the antioxidants of regular green tea and helps target cancer stem cells
• How exercise lowers recurrence risk by up to 40–50% in certain cancers
• The impact on blood sugar when you shift from carb-heavy breakfasts to protein-rich ones
• Simple stress-break tools that instantly calms the nervous system
• The damage of a sluggish lymphatic system and tips to support detox
• Why deep, consistent sleep is the most underrated healing tool for repair and prevention

​​Comment below this episode on YouTube and let me know which foods you are committing to adding to your diet this week!

Most cancer survivors focus on what to avoid, but almost no one talks about what you must rebuild first.



In this episode, I’m sharing three foundational foods I believe every cancer survivor and cancer-conscious human should be intentionally adding to their diet. These aren’t trendy superfoods or expensive supplements. They’re everyday foods that directly support your immune system, hormones, metabolism, and gut, the systems that matter most after treatment and for long-term cancer prevention.

As an eight-year non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma survivor, I know firsthand that life after cancer isn’t just about survival. It’s about rebuilding an internal environment where your body feels stable, nourished, and supported. Here, I break down why protein intake after cancer is often misunderstood, how blood sugar balance impacts cravings and energy, and why prioritizing nutrition for cancer recovery can shift how you feel day to day.

If you’re navigating life after treatment, or you’re proactively thinking about foods to prevent cancer, this episode offers grounded, science-backed clarity without fear or overwhelm. Grab a pen. This is one you’ll want to revisit.

You’ll Learn:

[00:00] Introduction

[01:57] The most overlooked food in cancer recovery and prevention

[03:59] How much protein cancer survivors actually need per meal to see real changes

[04:24] The dramatic shifts that happen when cancer survivors increase quality protein intake

[06:14] Chemotherapy and radiation devastate your gut microbiome

[08:33] Which fermented foods repair your gut and why prebiotics are essential

[10:41] How fiber functions as a cancer prevention tool through daily elimination

[12:45] Why eating 30 different plants per week creates a thriving gut microbiome

What if your first meal could quietly tip the scales away from cancer?

Wouldn’t it be nice if there was a simple breakfast that helps lower inflammation while keeping blood sugar steady? Good news. There is! It's the same combination of real, unprocessed ingredients I've eaten for years because it helped me rebuild my body and support remission. Instead of chasing trends, I lean on what the research shows actually protects my cells.

Most people start the day with something fast that secretly spikes blood sugar, stirs up inflammation, and leaves hormones scrambling to keep up. This episode zooms in on how a different kind of breakfast can signal safety, calm your stress response, and feed the systems that keep cell damage in check without relying on anything ultra-processed. Pairing certain nutrients together turns one ordinary meal into a daily prevention strategy instead of just another rush-through-it bite.

You’ll Learn:

[00:00] Introduction

[02:32] Why breakfast becomes a daily opportunity for cancer prevention

[03:46] The nutrient-dense power of pasture-raised eggs

[04:36] How wild-caught salmon transforms the inflammatory environment around your cells

[05:22] What my daily ‘secret weapon’ is

[06:58] The gut-healing impact of coconut kefir paired with antioxidant-rich fruits

[07:22] The cellular benefits of berries, pomegranates, and kiwi

[08:34] How this breakfast stabilizes blood sugar, lowers inflammation, and fuels detox pathways

What if the thing you put on your plate today could change the entire environment inside your body?

Food carries so much power in shaping what your body can and can’t do, and the best part is—it’s all in your control. After cancer, I realized my doctors weren’t guiding me on how to support myself through nutrition, so I had to figure it out on my own. That journey taught me that food isn’t just fuel. It’s information that influences how your body repairs, protects, and responds to stress. It’s what your new cells are created from. You are what you eat.

The real issue is how easy it is to forget what real food actually does when the world is filled with enticing, processed distractions. Small shifts can completely change the terrain your cells live in, and it doesn’t need to be over complicated. Simply adding in specific foods does a world of good for your body, even if you don’t change anything else.

You’ll Learn:

[00:00] Introduction

[01:35] The real reason understanding your "why" changes your choices

[02:51] What makes broccoli sprouts uniquely powerful

[03:47] How green tea compounds influence cancer cell behavior

[05:00] What happens when garlic is crushed and left to rest before cooking

[05:26] The surprising impact of berries on tumor growth

[06:37] 2 specific ingredients that boost turmeric beneficial effects

[07:05] How medicinal mushrooms support immune surveillance

[08:04] Why leafy greens play a role in recurrence risk

What if the moment that nearly broke you was actually the thing trying to wake you up?

In this episode, I sit down with Tonya Agostino, the founder of Unstoppable Joy and a survivor of triple-negative breast cancer. Her background in legal work and running a restaurant shaped the way she rebuilt her life after hearing the words no one wants to hear. She speaks openly about the moments that nearly took her out and the unexpected turning point that shifted everything.

The conversation digs into what it’s like when your world becomes appointments, tests, fear, and survival, and why the real battle often starts long before treatment does. Choices get murky when you’re sick, scared, and exhausted, and clarity doesn’t come easy when you’re stuck in fight-or-flight. There’s a way through, but it’s usually not the one you think it is.

Sometimes… the smartest move is giving your body what it already needs.

You’ll Learn:

[00:00:00] Introduction

[00:06:48] Cortisol levels can reveal underlying issues when doctors miss symptoms

[00:14:38] Why fight-or-flight mode blocks healing during treatment

[00:15:08] Why survivors need more support after ringing the bell

[00:17:44] The heartbreaking choice to stop chemo due to trauma

[00:24:27] What happened during a four-hour sound therapy session

[00:36:14] How a doctor's words during diagnosis can be life or death

Nobody tells you what happens after the cancer bell rings.

In this episode, I’m sharing what I wish someone had told me about life after cancer, the messy middle between being declared “cancer-free” and actually feeling alive again. As an eight-year non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma survivor, a mom, and an integrative nutrition health coach, I’ve lived through the part that no one prepares you for: rebuilding your body, calming your nervous system, and learning how to trust life again.

The truth is, healing doesn’t end when treatment does. It’s when the real work begins, navigating the anxiety, the grief, and the strange quiet that follows survival. There’s no roadmap for this part, but there should be. And you’ll see why real recovery starts long after the scans come back clear.

You’ll Learn:

[00:00] Introduction

[03:36] Why there’s little to no aftercare after cancer, and what survivors really need

[07:05] The truth about nutrition after treatment and how food can rebuild your cells

[09:18] How to know if you’re stuck in fight-or-flight mode and what helps you shift out

[15:44] Why emotions hit harder years after treatment ends, and how to process them safely

[20:17] The healing tools that make emotional recovery possible, from therapy to journaling

[24:43] What “scanxiety” really is and how to manage the physical and emotional triggers

[28:54] The mindset shift that rewires fear into hope before every scan

[29:48] Why healing after cancer isn’t linear, and how to stay resilient through setbacks

What if surviving cancer isn’t about fighting harder—but believing deeper?



In this episode, I sit down with Jen and Darren Delvaux, a couple who’ve both heard the words “you have cancer.” Darren was diagnosed with brain cancer at 36, and years later, Jen faced breast cancer of her own. She’s now an integrative health practitioner and host of Not Today Cancer, and together they’ve turned survival into a mission to help others heal with courage, humor, and hope.

We explore how two diagnoses reshaped their marriage, what faith looks like when the future feels uncertain, and how they both found strength in surrender. You’ll hear the moments that broke them open, the laughter that kept them going, and the mindset that helped them rise together.

You’ll Learn:

[00:00] Introduction

[00:07:31] The first signs that led to Darren’s brain cancer diagnosis

[00:13:51] How one doctor’s 18-month prognosis became the catalyst for defying the odds

[00:21:00] Why mindset, not diet, became Darren’s greatest survival tool

[00:27:57] How cancer forced Jen and Darren to rebuild their marriage from the ground up

[00:33:32] The healing power of talking openly about death and fear

[00:43:52] The moment Jen realized she had to take control of her own healing

[00:46:37] What happens when fear of recurrence becomes its own illness

[00:54:45] Jen’s grounding morning routine that keeps her in a healing mindset

In this episode, I sit down with Kelly Sturm, a doctor of physical therapy from the Mayo Clinic and one of the first board-certified oncology clinical specialists in the United States. Kelly specializes in cancer rehabilitation, pelvic health, and lymphedema treatment, helping survivors rebuild strength, regain mobility, and reclaim confidence after treatment.

We get into what the lymphatic system actually does for your health. Kelly breaks down the real causes of lymphedema, the myths around dry brushing and vibration plates, and what movement actually helps your body recover. This conversation goes deep into how your body heals, what signals to listen for, and how to move forward with more awareness and grace. It comes down to working with your body’s detox systems, not against them.

What happens when the cancer treatment ends, but the real fight is just beginning?

I learned the hardest way that beating cancer and healing from it are two completely different things. Today, I break the silence on what no one tells you after treatment: the missing exit plan, the fear that gets louder, and the lifestyle shifts that could change everything.

Most survivors report long-term side effects, yet structured support is nearly nonexistent. The system saves your life but leaves you to figure out recovery alone, no nutrition guidance, no detox strategy, no roadmap for prevention. 

You’ll Learn:

[00:00] Introduction

[03:52] Why there's no exit plan after cancer treatment ends

[05:17] The dangerous gap in nutritional education for cancer survivors

[06:56] What no one tells you about environmental toxins during and after treatment

[08:02] The emotional aftermath that's lonelier than the diagnosis itself

[08:25] Why prevention through lifestyle changes is the missing conversation in cancer care

A stressed nervous system can cancel out even the best nutrition.

If healing feels harder than it should, this episode explores why nervous system regulation may be the foundation you’re missing. I walk through practical anti-cancer lifestyle habits I’m personally prioritizing for 2026 and explain how chronic stress affects the body.

There are simple, realistic ways to support parasympathetic healing, including breathwork, slowing meals down, protecting sleep as medicine, and building routines that lower cortisol rather than add pressure. Blood sugar balance is examined through its impact on inflammation, sleep, and long-term health, along with why eating protein first and stopping food a few hours before bed can matter.

This episode also covers reducing toxic load where exposure is highest, especially through daily-use products, food, and environment, and why consistency matters more than perfection for cancer prevention and recovery.

If you’re a survivor, patient, or focused on prevention, this conversation centers on building a supportive internal environment through daily choices that feel sustainable and human, not extreme.

You’ll Learn:

[00:00] Introduction

[01:22] Why you can't heal in fight or flight

[05:19] My favourite thing to do to pull me out of fight or flight

[07:08] Finding your low-toxic product favorites and putting health on autopilot

[10:46] The best hack to support your blood pressure

[13:40] Less perfection and more consistency instead of wellness toxicity

[16:10] Focusing on what you do daily, and not occasionally 

[18:29] Eating to lower inflammation versus restricting

[20:16] Understanding your toxic load ‘rain bucket’

[22:38] Small swaps, big impact: the 28-day study proving personal care products change your cells

[25:43] Why you should protect sleep like it’s medicine

Comment on my YouTube and share with me one thing you're working on for the new year!

You don’t need another resolution. You need a system your body can actually stick with.

Let's see New Year’s resolutions through a cancer-conscious health lens. Why do most goals fail? It’s not because of laziness or lack of discipline, but rather because they’re built on motivation instead of systems.

In this episode, I share practical tools for creating sustainable habits, letting go of all-or-nothing thinking, honoring your nervous system, and why healing after cancer (or any major health challenge) requires consistency over perfection.

If you’re focused on cancer prevention, rebuilding trust with your body, or creating routines that lower inflammation, balance blood sugar, and support long-term vitality, this episode is for you.

You don’t need a total overhaul. You need a foundation that works, one habit at a time.

You’ll Learn:

[00:00] Introduction

[03:02] The cancer survivor's unique relationship with new beginnings and planning for the future

[05:21] Why most resolutions fail and what they should actually represent

[09:03] Using January as an observation period rather than forcing commitment to goals

[11:59] The comprehensive framework for making habits stick long-term

[28:11] Why missing a day doesn't mean failure

[31:12] How to identify what to focus on by asking yourself questions and observing

What if lowering your cancer risk started with the products you put on your skin every day?

Today, I’m joined by Andrea Dahr, a clean living advocate and the founder of Switch Natural. Her journey began during a high-risk twin pregnancy in 2014, when reducing extra health risks felt urgent, so she started swapping to non-toxic cosmetics, cleaning products, and kids products after realizing how unregulated so many of these items are.

You’ll hear why ingredients like talc, fragrance, and aluminum matter, how long-term low-dose exposure can add up, and why kids can be especially vulnerable during key developmental years. We also break down why deodorant and sunscreen deserve closer scrutiny, plus how “clean” labels and even EWG verified claims can still leave people confused.

[09:14] Why teaching kids to question products and ingredients creates lifelong healthy habits

[11:43] The Sephora kids phenomenon and how young girls are marketing anti-aging products

[14:45] Why fragrance is one of the most problematic ingredients

Share this with someone who’s rebuilding their health after cancer.

Chronic constipation can be a signal that something deeper is going on.

In this conversation, I sit down with Liz Roman, a Board Certified Functional Nutritional Practitioner and Master Restorative Wellness Practitioner, to unpack why gut health after cancer treatment is foundational to true healing. As the founder and co-owner of FITMOM and co-host of a Top 100 alternative health podcast, Liz has dedicated her work to uncovering the root causes behind digestive disorders, hormonal imbalances, autoimmune challenges, and metabolic issues.

We walk through how chronic constipation can signal deeper dysfunction, why digestion should be a silent event, and how backed-up detox pathways affect everything from brain fog to weight retention. Liz shares her personal journey with Hashimoto’s, yeast overgrowth, mold toxicity, and years of feeling dismissed before finding answers through functional medicine for gut health.

If you are navigating cancer recovery and prevention, hormonal shifts, or autoimmune symptoms, this conversation offers a clearer understanding of how digestive health connects to the rest of the body and where to begin rebuilding. Grab a pen. You’ll want to take notes.

You’ll Learn:

[00:00] Introduction

[02:41] Chronic misdiagnoses, Hashimoto's, and how functional medicine changed everything

[14:19] How constipation backs up every system in the body

[21:44] Why chemo and antibiotics wreck your immune system

[29:11] The right order of operations for rebuilding your gut after treatment

[41:56] Why your "healthy" foods might be making your gut worse

What happens after the diagnosis, when the appointments end, and the real questions begin?

Today I’m joined by breast cancer survivor Kelly Rovetto, the founder of Re-Femme, a cancer support platform created to support women through their active cancer journey.

We talk honestly about the moment treatment becomes real and how fear, overwhelm, and questions around identity, hair, skin, and femininity surface quickly. Kelly shares what it felt like to understand the medical side of cancer yet feel unprepared for everything that happens outside the clinic walls. That gap is what inspired Re-Femme, a resource offering trusted tips, tools, beauty and wellness services, and education designed to reduce isolation and increase connection.

This episode speaks to anyone navigating treatment, survivorship, or caregiving for someone who wants cancer journey support that feels humane, accessible, and grounded in real experience.

You’ll Learn:

[00:00] Introduction

[02:29] Kelly's breast cancer diagnosis and the overwhelming gaps she discovered in support systems

[06:40] Why cancer support groups on Facebook became overwhelming rather than comforting

[13:36] The identity crisis and femininity loss that cancer treatment creates

[19:21] How PTSD affects 96% of cancer patients and the powerlessness of diagnosis

[35:40] What services Re-Femme offers

[42:56] Kelly's belief in divine timing and what 12 years of breast cancer did for her

[53:09] Why hospital integrative medicine programs often miss the mark and retraumatize patients

What if your daily routine is your biggest source of toxin exposure?

Many people think harmful exposures come from rare or dramatic events. Yet some of the biggest contributors to the body’s toxic burden may come from the products and environments we interact with every single day.

In this episode, I sit down with functional nutritionist and toxic load expert Caitlin Fierro, founder of Non Toxic Homes, a wellness brand focused on helping people address both internal imbalances and environmental exposures. Her work was shaped by her own experience navigating an autoimmune condition that conventional medicine struggled to explain. That journey led her into the world of functional healthcare and a deeper investigation into how ingredients, environments, and everyday exposures influence the body.

Our conversation opens the door to a topic many people sense but don’t fully understand. If you’ve ever wondered how your home, habits, and daily products might be affecting your health, this episode will give you a new way to think about what’s happening around you every day.

You’ll Learn:

[00:00] Introduction

[02:50] How an autoimmune diagnosis and gluten in skincare led Caitlin to non-toxic living

[12:39] What toxic load actually does to your body on a cellular level

[20:57] Why a healthy lifestyle can't cancel constant exposure

[24:50] Daily detox practices that actually work

[35:55] The top three hidden home toxin sources

[48:48] What happened to women's breast tissue after 28 days of non-toxic personal care swaps

[01:04:13] What the wellness industry gets wrong about intermittent fasting, cold plunging, and HRT

Share this episode with someone who's struggling with gut issues.

You can do everything “right” and still not see progress if your gut isn’t working.

I’ve seen how easy it is to focus on treatments and still feel like something is missing, especially after cancer. This conversation brings gut health back to where it belongs: as the foundation that supports everything else in the body.

I’m joined by Carley Smith, a nutritional therapist and certified GAPS practitioner who rebuilt her health after a Lyme disease diagnosis, by turning to food as medicine and focusing on gut healing. That experience now shapes the way she helps others approach the connection between the gut microbiome, immune system support, and long-term resilience.

You’ll get a clear understanding of how approaches like the GAPS diet and simple gut healing foods can support digestion, especially if you’re dealing with bloating, fatigue, or food sensitivities. There’s also a strong emphasis on making this way of eating practical and accessible, not overwhelming.

If you’ve been trying to move forward but still feel stuck, this gives you a place to start that actually makes sense.

You’ll learn:

[00:00] Introduction

[03:11] The illness that led Carley to her gut health journey

[11:41] What the GAPS diet is and why it starts with meat stock instead of bone broth

[21:07] The biggest misconception about the diet most people get wrong

[27:04] Your body's own signals for knowing when the gut has actually healed

[37:24] Who the diet is really for, including people coming out of chemo

[41:07] A practical day of GAPS-style eating before committing to the full protocol

[46:49] Why most gut healing falls apart before it even starts

Why do so many people focus on treatment but overlook what made the body vulnerable in the first place?

This conversation centers on what it takes to build a resilient internal environment, especially after a diagnosis or during recovery. I sit down with Dr. Stephen Cabral, a board-certified doctor of naturopathy who has spent over 25 years helping more than 300,000 people understand what’s really happening beneath the surface through at-home lab testing and personalized protocols.

I share my own test results in real time, which brings a level of honesty and clarity that most people never see when it comes to their health data. This challenges the idea that normal labs mean optimal health. It also shows how hidden deficiencies and toxicities can shape long-term outcomes.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything right but still not getting answers, this will help you understand where to look next and why it matters.

You’ll Learn:

[00:00] Introduction

[04:50] Why cancer recurrence stays high and what actually weakens the body's terrain

Share this episode with someone who is ready to make some diet changes.

I stopped eating these 7 foods after my diagnosis, but one of them is something most people still have in their kitchen right now.

I want to start by grounding this in something important: no single food causes cancer. What matters more is the environment we create inside the body over time, and how our daily choices influence that internal landscape.

This conversation centers on seven foods I personally chose to stop eating or significantly reduce, based on how they may contribute to inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, and overall stress on the body.

The focus shifts away from perfection and toward patterns, because consistent choices tend to shape long-term health far more than any one-off decision. Small, gradual changes can influence energy, cravings, and day-to-day experience, reinforcing that meaningful change doesn’t require an overnight overhaul.

And one of the first foods on this list, which has been strongly linked to cancer risk, is something many people still consider completely normal to eat on a regular basis.

You’ll learn:

[00:00] Introduction

[01:06] Cancer doesn't appear out of nowhere; it needs the right conditions to survive

[02:13] How one cancer survivor turned her metabolic health around with a single shift

[04:20] The preserved meat that most people eat daily, which the WHO flagged as a carcinogen

[06:03] High heat changes more than the flavor; it changes what meat does to your cells

[07:19] The packaged foods, sugars, and drinks driving cancer risk

[08:25] Why refined sugar and white flour are more than empty calories

[09:24] The drinks most people don't realize are overwhelming their body metabolically

[10:24] The cooking oils hiding in plain sight that may be stoking inflammation

[11:28] Why diet and sugar-free labels may be misleading your gut and immune system

If you don't know where to start in your autoimmune journey, reach out to Alison. She gives personalized help so you can heal from the inside out.

Most women with Hashimoto's are told their thyroid labs are fine right up until their hair starts falling out. Alison Marras was one of them.

After years of being dismissed by top endocrinologists, Alison finally got her Hashimoto’s, PCOS, IBS, and SIBO diagnoses from a naturopath who ran the labs nobody else bothered to. She shares what she learned while navigating her own autoimmune diagnosis, which now shapes how she helps clients heal their gut, without restrictive elimination diets.

We get into the bloodwork you should be asking for, and why your TSH can look good while your thyroid is still struggling. Alison also pushes back on the autoimmune advice flooding social media. Carnivore, low FODMAP, AIP for a year, cutting food groups… She explains why a restrictive diet is a symptom, not a solution, and how to start expanding your diet again in a way your body can actually handle.

If your labs keep coming back “normal” but your body is telling you something different, this episode will change how you advocate for yourself.

You’ll learn:

[00:00] Introduction

[01:28] How 10 years on the pill masked Alison's symptoms, and what happened when she came off it

[10:19] The thyroid markers doctors never test, and why standard ranges aren't enough

[20:58] Why skipping breakfast tanks your hormones, adrenals, thyroid, and weight loss goals

[27:47] Animal protein is the non-negotiable foundation of Alison's healing approach

[33:56] Alison's root causes, two-year road to remission, and what functional medicine alone can't do

[40:33] Grieving a diagnosis, Type A perfectionism, and the inner dialogue that mirrors autoimmune issues

[46:38] How Alison builds a Hashimoto's healing plan and coaches the nervous system back to safety

[55:52] Alison's gut-healing cookbook and her go-to easy foods for the early healing stages

[01:02:21] Why staying on an elimination diet too long backfires, and how to start reintroducing foods

If you're ready to start living a low-tox lifestyle, book a free consultation here.

Can you really live a non-toxic life in today’s world?

Amy Enos is the pharmacist behind Low Tox Pharmacist. Her story starts with a question most healthcare professionals are never trained to ask: where did this cancer actually come from? The US personal care industry is barely regulated. The word "fragrance" hides thousands of undisclosed chemicals, and the average woman applies dozens of endocrine disruptors before leaving the house.

This conversation breaks down how to read an ingredient label without a chemistry degree. Amy shares the exact terms she scans for first, why "clean" brands often aren't, and what happens when a small non-toxic company gets acquired by a corporate giant.

She also pushes back on the all-or-nothing mindset in the low-tox space, outlining how one product swap a month adds up to twelve concrete changes over the course of a year.

If you're new to non-toxic living and feeling overwhelmed, these suggestions offer a practical starting point.

You’ll learn:

[00:00] Introduction

[00:11] The cancer diagnosis that pulled a pharmacist out of the pharmacy

[01:15] Why environment, not genetics, is the real driver of most cancer

[09:59] How a pharmacist learns to read labels the way you can

[18:29] What actually happens when a clean brand gets acquired

[23:07] The three ingredient markers that expose a fake-clean product

[27:51] Why avoidance beats detox supplements every time

[30:10] The 28-day breast tissue study that proves product swaps work

[47:43] The preservatives hiding in products marketed as clean

[53:40] The everyday product most people never think to check

Share this episode with someone who's struggling with mouth issues.

Your dentist might be missing the most important signs in your mouth.

Amber White explains how oral infections, mineral imbalances, and mouth breathing create conditions that ripple through your entire body and even make you vulnerable to cancer.

A specific oral bacterium has been directly linked to breast cancer, colorectal tumors, and pancreatic cancer in peer-reviewed research. And it doesn't stay in your mouth; it travels.

Most people treat bleeding gums and tartar buildup as hygiene problems. Amber breaks down why those symptoms often point to something deeper, such as mineral depletion, hormonal shifts, or hidden infections that never show up on a standard dental x-ray.

She also gets into the real tradeoffs of root canals, why your mouthwash might be making things worse, and what a biological dentist can actually see that a conventional one can't.

You’ll learn:

[00:00] Introduction

[01:53] Why oral health is often overlooked, and Amber’s shift to biological dentistry

[08:27] The oral microbiome and how your mouth reflects full-body health

[10:38] What your mouth reveals about disease, and why symptoms like bleeding gums matter

[13:33] The connection between oral bacteria, infections, and cancer risk

[17:10] Root canals explained, including risks and long-term considerations

[20:42] The real causes of tooth decay, and how biological dentists treat infections

[27:39] The role of minerals and hormones in oral health, healing, and sensitivity

[39:59] Daily habits, diet, and products that may be harming your oral health

[46:53] Fluoride, mercury fillings, and how to find a biological dentist

After cancer, I removed nine things from my kitchen that most people still use.

I'm a certified integrative nutrition health coach, a nine-year cancer survivor, and I work with people on cancer prevention and recovery, so my kitchen had to change in ways I didn't expect.

When I started looking at refined oils, non-stick cookware, plastic containers, aluminum foil, scented plug-ins, plastic water bottles, plastic cutting boards, ultra-processed foods, and conventional cleaning products together, I realized how much daily exposure I'd accepted as normal.

No single product causes cancer overnight. But chronic exposure over years is a different conversation, and that's the one I want to have.

Learn what I swapped out, what I use now, and why each change actually matters. Some swaps were easy. A few took me longer than I'd like to admit.

If you want more episodes on lowering your toxic load and rethinking everyday habits after a diagnosis, subscribe to the channel so the next one finds you.

You’ll learn:

[0:00] Introduction

[0:57] Why refined vegetable oils are the first thing to cut from your kitchen

[2:03] The forever chemicals in non-stick cookware, and what Teflon flu actually is

[2:57] An overlooked problem with cooking on aluminum foil

[3:42] Microplastics are now showing up in blood, placentas, and breast milk

[4:47] What synthetic air fresheners are actually releasing into your home

[5:58] Heat turns your plastic water bottle into an endocrine disruptor

[6:35] Plastic cutting boards shed microplastics directly into your food

Eight hours of sleep isn't the metric that matters most, and we now have the research to prove it.

My guest, Morgan Adams, is a holistic sleep coach who spent nearly a decade dependent on prescription sleeping pills before rebuilding her relationship with sleep from the ground up. She's also a two-time breast cancer survivor, which gives her a perspective on rest that goes far beyond optimization.

We get into what actually disrupts sleep for women in midlife, why most people feel jet-lagged by Monday morning, and the surprising research linking consistent wake times to a dramatically lower risk of death. Morgan also walks through why so many women wake up at 3:00 AM wired, and what's usually happening underneath that pattern.

If you've been chasing better sleep through supplements, gadgets, or sheer willpower, this conversation will reframe what you've been told to prioritize.

You’ll learn:

[0:00] Introduction

[3:29] How a message from Morgan's late mother led to her first breast cancer diagnosis

[9:55] Why the mammogram missed it and what finally found the tumor

[20:06] The Ambien overdose scandal that affected women for years

[26:43] Why sleep is the bedrock pillar that nutrition and exercise stand on

[33:48] Why sunglasses in the morning are sabotaging your circadian rhythm

[37:58] The myth of eight hours and why consistency cuts mortality risk by 49%

[48:13] The alcohol nightcap trap and why each drink slashes sleep quality

[1:05:35] Why women in midlife waking at 3 AM should test for sleep apnea

[1:16:12] Orthosomnia and why sleep stage data is the least accurate thing to obsess over

Most people eating "clean" all day are still stuck in fat-storage mode and have no idea why.

My guest this week is Shana Hussin, a registered dietitian with 26 years in the field who left the conventional system after watching her clients get sicker, not better, on standard advice. She walked away from what she was trained to teach. Then she figured out what was actually keeping people stuck.

We discuss the things nobody else does: how eating "healthy" foods 13 times a day keeps insulin elevated, why your morning fast might be wrecking your cortisol, and why so many women doing all the right things still can't lose weight.

Shana also opens up about her son's ulcerative colitis diagnosis and the moment she realized the food list she was handed in the hospital was making things worse.

If you've ever felt like your body stopped responding to the rules you've been following, this conversation explains why.

You’ll learn:

[00:00] Introduction

[02:44] The moment a dietician realized her own advice wasn't working

[11:03] The two fuel systems your body has and why most people can only use one

[15:56] Why eating "healthy" all day can still keep you storing fat

[22:39] Why front-loading protein in the morning changes everything downstream

[38:38] The lifestyle shifts that blunt blood sugar without changing what you eat

[44:12] What your light environment is doing to your blood sugar without you knowing

[47:34] The real driver behind chronic disease and why most carb advice gets it wrong

[59:28] The healthy habits that might secretly be working against you

Drop a comment below if you have questions around mindset!

A single thought can change your blood chemistry very fast.

Dr. Anna Marie says that’s why mindset is the missing piece in most cancer prevention and healing plans. Known as The Mindset Doctor™, Dr. Anna Marie Frank is a Doctor of Traditional Naturopathy who helps people rewire limiting beliefs and reconnect the brain and body for lasting health.

Through her work, she started to notice a pattern: the people who moved forward believed they could, while others stayed stuck in silent loops from past experiences without realizing it.

We get into what epigenetics means in real life, the difference between living in your amygdala versus your prefrontal cortex, and why fear of recurrence can keep many cancer survivors in a low-grade stress response long after treatment ends.

She also shares the language shift she uses with clients facing a diagnosis, her Activate Your Inner Pharmacy framework, and practical tools for nervous system regulation, including what she uses and avoids during chemo.

If you’ve focused on food, supplements, and exercise but still feel like something is missing, this conversation points to a layer most people overlook.

You’ll learn:

[00:00] Introduction

[02:58] What emotional avoidance does to your cells, and what epigenetics says about it

[07:30] The amygdala vs. the prefrontal cortex, with a personal story of reprogramming rejection

[13:09] The cancer diagnosis mindset shift: identity, visualization, and morning/night reprogramming

[18:43] Going through cancer treatment like an athlete when your world is already falling apart

[21:06] Why fear of recurrence keeps re-traumatizing you, and how to break the loop

[29:48] Your thoughts affect others through prayer, energy, and quantum connection, so choose who you surround yourself with wisely

[38:22] Nervous system vs. mindset: which comes first, and the tools to work both at once

[47:56] Chronic stress physically maps onto the body, and the signs you can read yourself

[51:14] Self-criticism, autoimmunity, and generational trauma stored in the body

[53:59] Activating your inner pharmacy, and whether mindset alone can keep you sick

For beauty companies, consumer harm is just “part of the business plan”.

Attorney Whitney Ray Di Bona has sued Johnson and Johnson, Pfizer, Avon, Maybelline, CoverGirl, Ford, and a long list of pharmaceutical and pesticide companies. The pattern she keeps finding is the same: The company knew, the consumer didn't.

This episode covers the reality behind talcum powder lawsuits, the Roundup glyphosate cases tied to non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, the rise in mesothelioma diagnoses in younger women, and how most beauty products on US shelves go through almost no FDA safety testing before hitting the market.

Whitney also walks us through the current Ozempic litigation, the new FDA brain tumor warning added to Depo-Provera birth control shots, and the Supreme Court case on April 27th that could decide whether consumers can continue to sue pesticide companies at all.

Then she gets into the GLP-1 and peptide boom. Compounded drugs prescribed without lab work. Influencers selling peptide stacks for $300 commissions. Telehealth companies shipping next-day injections after a one-page questionnaire. 

This is the legal exposure nobody is talking about.

If you've been trying to figure out which products, drugs, and trends are worth the risk, this conversation gives you the framework from someone who sees the worst-case outcomes for a living.

You’ll learn:

[00:00] Introduction

[02:04] From prosecutor to personal product rabbit hole: how Whitney's career led her here

[12:12] Corporations know their products are dangerous long before you do

[16:51] The corporations Whitney has sued

[20:37] From Roundup to baby powder: the everyday products behind cancers that most people don't connect the dots on

[27:03] Why daily cumulative toxic exposure, not single incidents, is driving rising cancer rates

[31:43] When doctors dismiss drug side effects as "just blood cancer", and what patients aren't being told

[36:05] The changes Whitney made that cleared her inflammation, brain fog, and toxic load

[43:31] Why Whitney thinks the peptide boom is one of the most reckless things happening in wellness right now

[59:16] Ozempic lawsuits already filed for gastroparesis and a blinding eye condition… more are coming

[01:02:06] Depo-Provera's 50% brain tumor risk was on European warning labels for years before the US acted
