Rising Cancer Rates, Processing Grief, + Healing Your Relationship With Food | Kris Carr
Episode 210
Tuesday, August 27, 2024 • Duration 01:03:33
EP. 210: I’m thrilled to share a truly special conversation with the incredible Kris Carr. It feels like a full-circle moment for me since I've followed her inspiring journey for over 13 years. Kris has been living with a challenging diagnosis for 21 years, and in this episode, she opens up about her health journey, how diet and lifestyle play a crucial role, and her empowering approach to becoming the CEO of her own health. We also explore her new book, I'm Not a Mourning Person, which deeply resonated with me given my own experiences with grief. Kris's vibrant energy and wisdom left me feeling incredibly inspired, and I know you'll find this episode just as moving and enlightening.
