Thrive Through Cancer Podcast

Supporting your microbiome is foundational to not only allowing your body to absorb and digest nutrients but also supporting your body’s immune system function…and this is key when going through cancer treatment! So, in this episode, you’ll gain an understanding of the role of the microbiome and its relationship to cancer. Plus, I share 3 steps to help you naturally improve your digestion, including specific supplements and nutrition recommendations. And we’ll discuss the signs and symptoms of low stomach acid and poor fat digestion. Finally, I’ll give you a specific action plan to help you take your first steps toward positive change.

I’m super excited to introduce you to something that's REALLY special to me, The KICKcancER Movement. My non-profit organization was the answer to a lot of prayers. And it was a helpful distraction for my husband and I when we were walking through our own pain of my son’s cancer diagnosis. In today’s episode, I share with you how The KICKcancER Movement was started and how it can help you directly. Plus, I want to invite you into some specific opportunities for you to partner with us. Also, I want to challenge you to think about your own heartaches and difficulties in a new way. Nothing in your story has to be wasted, and your personal sorrows can be a blessing and inspiration to others!

On December 4th, 2013, my son was diagnosed with cancer…ten years ago! And every year at this time, my husband and I are filled with a mixed bag of emotions. So as I once again reflect about our experiences, particularly in the context of the holiday season and all the gatherings, I discuss in today’s episode about the power of your thoughts and the consequences of when fear overtakes your mind. I also give you some intentional questions to ask yourself and others to help you navigate the holiday gatherings, and some encouragement in how you can live during this season of your life with hope and amongst community!

I’m thrilled to share this really special and tender conversation I had with lifestyle YouTube sensation, Brittany Vasseur. Brittany’s brother was diagnosed with Stage 3B Testicular Cancer at the age of 24, and as you can imagine, it turned their world upside down. Her story, her commitment to walking alongside her family during this difficult time, and her willingness to jump fully into educating herself in how they could fight more holistically are inspiring. Plus, her thoughts on hope in the midst of her brother only having a 5% chance of living will empower your heart deeply!
