From Ovarian Cancer to Finding Her Birth Mother: Nadean Stone's Inspiring Story

Wed, 17 Jan 2024 08:00:00 +0000

In this made-for-movie episode, Nadean Stone reads excerpts from her memoir No Stone Unturned: A Remarkable Journey to Identity. Nadean was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 1981, at a time when very little information and resources were available. However, that is not where Nadean's story begins. Six days after her birth, her mother gave her up for adoption, which led to a 44-year search for her birth mother utilizing DNA technology and innovative detective skills. Her search challenged the laws in Ontario regarding non-adoptees access to their birth records.

In July 2018, Nadean filed a petition with the UN Commission on the Rights of the Child illuminating numerous Articles of the UN Convention that the Province of Ontario has violated in its treatment of illegally adopted children. She is currently exploring the transformation of her memoir into a television series.

✨Highlights from the show:

[00:02:25] Ovarian cancer diagnosis.

[00:06:07] Difficult decision for more children.

[00:11:49] Finding birth mother through DNA.

[00:16:35] Creating a TV series.

[00:20:17] Do not be defined by your challenges.

How to Thrive Through Cancer with Guest Erika Wolf

Wed, 13 Dec 2023 08:00:00 +0000

Nine years ago, at the age of 43, Erika Wolf faced an advanced form of breast cancer head-on. She underwent traditional oncology treatments, but it was the discovery of integrative medicine therapies that allowed her to thrive during treatment and throughout recovery.

Erika learned that much of the American oncology community does not widely support the utilization of complementary therapies. She advocated for herself to find and incorporate these therapies so that her entire being was cared for and treated as robustly as the cancer itself.

Therefore, it has become her passion to share this information with as many people as possible. She believes it is important for patients to be aware, but moreover, that physicians, nurses, and other caregivers accept the efficacy of complementary care and advocate for the inclusion of these modalities as a regular part of oncology care and recovery.

Erika lives in the mountains of Colorado with her husband and two dogs. She has worked in marketing and PR for the past 30 years and is the director of digital marketing for a non-profit based in Denver, CO.

✨Highlights from the show:

[00:02:40] Integrative medicine and cancer care.

[00:09:30] Mammograms and Thermograms.

[00:15:06] Gratitude and healing mindset.

[00:18:52] Complementary therapies and first steps.

[00:24:58] The importance of complementary therapies.

[00:32:02] Trusting yourself through illness.

Wed, 05 Apr 2023 07:00:00 +0000

As a Triple Negative Breast Cancer Survivor/Thriver, Ricki Fairley's personal purpose, passion, mission, ministry, and blessing is to bring focus, attention, research, science, and action to eradicating Black Breast Cancer, and supporting and coaching what she calls her “Breasties” through their breast cancer experience.

Wed, 22 Mar 2023 07:00:00 +0000

At 44, Sarah McDonald was newly married, newly promoted, and planning pregnancy. It felt like a time of new beginnings in her life when suddenly she was diagnosed with a rare, incurable cancer.

Told in an honest and oftentimes vulnerable voice, Sarah recounts a year of difficult stories in lighthearted and humorous ways. Readers of the book, The Cancer Channel will laugh and cry – and find it very difficult to set down.

✨A few highlights from the show:

1. A cancer diagnosis is a period of mourning.

2. Incurable cancer doesn't mean terminal cancer.

3. Try to accept your diagnosis so you can focus on healing.

Remembering a Family Matriarch Who Sparked Purple Pansies with Maria Fundora

Wed, 15 Mar 2023 07:00:00 +0000

Maria Fundora founded the nonprofit, Purple Pansies in 2008 following her mother’s death from pancreatic cancer. She felt called to raise awareness and crucial research dollars for this chronically underfunded but deadly cancer. To date, Purple Pansies has raised over $4 Million to fund research through TGen and aid affected families. The mission of Purple Pansies is to raise funds for research, clinical trials, and early detection, and to aid families in the community who have a family member suffering from pancreatic cancer and financially can use their help.

✨A few highlights from the show:

1. Pancreatic cancer is sometimes called a “silent” disease because symptoms are rarely noticeable in its early stages. If symptoms are present, they are often vague and can be easy to ignore.

2. A few symptoms: abdominal or mid-back pain, change in stool, digestive problems such as gas and bloating, and several others.

3. Pancreatic cancer awareness month is in November.

4. Pansies are resilient flowers. The root grows strong all winter and they grow during the worst of times in the winter. Hence, Purple Pansies.

5. Don't be afraid to get a second opinion when you or a loved one are diagnosed with cancer and trying to determine the best treatment options.

6. Maria has a couple of goals that she could use your help with.

a. Expand the Purple Pansies Board. She is looking for volunteers to be on the Board and chair committees to help Purple Pansies become a national footprint.

b. Develop an early detection test for pancreatic cancer.

🟣c. A very personal goal of Maria's is to have a major sports team wear purple during the month of November and have a major team be a part of the Board. #MNVikings #MNLynx #MNTimberwolves #MNTwins

The Diagnosis and the Many Paths to Finding Balance and Healing with Louise Lubin, Ph.D.

Sat, 11 Mar 2023 19:14:54 +0000

Dr. Louise Lubin is a licensed clinical psychologist in Norfolk, Virginia who has practiced adult, marital, and family therapy for nearly forty years. With her focus on survivorship in chronic and life-threatening illnesses, she developed programs and a website “Many Paths to Healing” for hospital systems and physician groups to provide patients with the necessary tools to cope and manage the challenges of illness. She is a retired Community Faculty at the Eastern Virginia Medical School and a lifetime member of the American Psychological Association and the National Register of Health Providers. She has recently published, Your Journey Beyond Breast Cancer- Tools for the Road- an interactive guide for women at any stage of their cancer journey.

✨A few highlights from the show:

1. Cancer demands that you learn how to take care of yourself, communicate, and ask for what you need. You must be assertive!

2. We have control over what we "think" is happening to us.

3. It is counterproductive to feel guilty about having cancer.

4. People need to take their cues from the patient.

5. Listen has the same letters as silent!

Visible Symptoms of Prostate Cancer and the Benefits of Being a Member of the 7 O'Clock Club with Barry Furey

Wed, 01 Mar 2023 08:00:36 +0000

Barry Furey has been involved in public safety since 1970, having served as a fire officer in three states and a 9-1-1 director in four. Additionally, he has provided consulting services worldwide and is an award-winning author. At age 70, he spends most of his time as a dad of three children under eleven, the youngest born after his battle with prostate cancer.

✨A few highlights from the show:

1. Prostate cancer is known as a 'silent killer' due to not usually causing any symptoms until it has grown large enough to put pressure on the urethra. Typically, there is no discomfort in the very early stages of prostate cancer.

2. Many men's prostates get larger as they get older because of a non-cancerous condition called benign prostate enlargement.

3. Firefighters have been shown in meta-analyses to have an increased incidence of prostate cancer (PCa) compared with the general population.

Breast Cancer Thriver, Patricia Muir Helps Women Return to Work and Thrive After Cancer

Wed, 15 Feb 2023 08:00:05 +0000

Patricia is a veteran businesswoman who thrives on working with women entrepreneurs, executives, and highly skilled professionals. Patricia is an accredited professional coach specializing in Emotional Intelligence Leadership. Combining entrepreneurial experience, knowledge of legislation, and her work in emotional intelligence, Patricia develops coaching programs that support a successful return to work after cancer and finding fulfillment after 60. Patricia produces the podcast “Executive Encore: Women Finding Fulfillment After 60” and blogs weekly for her audience.

In 2013, Patricia received her diagnosis of breast cancer. After a few weeks to recover from surgery (and the shock), Patricia returned to work during radiation treatments. Patricia experienced a loss of verve, zest, and her edge! Patricia immersed herself in intensive healing programs and group support provided by her local cancer center to support her healing and personal growth. But there was a gap!

Patricia’s own struggles and conversations with other businesswomen with cancer taught her that there are challenges and fears uniquely experienced by women who have reached a pinnacle in their personal and professional life.

✨A few highlights from the show:

1. Emotional intelligence is fluid.

2. Decision-making is emotional intelligence.

3. Self-care is emotional self-care also.

A Seasoned Medical Oncologist Explains Why Cancer Still Sucks with David J. Stewart, MD, FRCPC

Wed, 08 Feb 2023 08:01:00 +0000

Dr. David Stewart trained in medical oncology at MD Anderson Hospital in Houston from 1976 to 1978 and then joined the staff at MD Anderson. He returned to Ottawa Canada in 1980, moved back to MD Anderson in 2003, and then again moved back to Ottawa Canada in 2011 as a Professor of Medicine and Head of the Division of Medical Oncology. Since completing his term as a division head in 2019, he has continued to teach and practice oncology in Ottawa. He recently wrote the book A Short Primer on Why Cancer Still Sucks. It is intended for cancer patients, other members of the public, and non-oncology healthcare professionals.

✨A few highlights from the show:

1. The first reason that cancer still sucks is that it is everywhere. You can contract it no matter how healthy your lifestyle is or how pure your family history is.

2. A blood test such as a circulating tumor cell test detects cancer cells in your blood. The cells might be in the blood if they've broken away from where they started and are spreading to other parts of the body.

3. The US and Canadian healthcare systems each have strengths and weaknesses that help and hinder cancer prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.

Two-Time Cancer Survivor and Cancer Whisperer Who Beat the Odds to Shine Brightly and Share Hope with Howard S. Brown

Wed, 01 Feb 2023 08:00:40 +0000

Howard Brown is an author, Silicon Valley entrepreneur, interfaith peacemaker, two-time stage IV cancer survivor, and healthcare advocate. For over three decades, Howard’s business innovations, leadership principles, mentoring, and resilience in beating cancer against long odds have made him a sought-after speaker and consultant for businesses, nonprofits, congregations, and community groups. His hard-earned wisdom about resilience after beating cancer twice has led him to become a nationally known patient advocate and “cancer whisperer” to many families. Howard, his wife Lisa, and his daughter Emily currently reside in Michigan.

✨A few highlights from the show:

1. Medical technologies that played a role in Howard's recovery and expanding his family: bone marrow transplant, In vitro fertilization (IVF)/Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), Cytoreductive Surgery (CRS) and Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC), scans to video, liquid biopsy, tumor burden, clinical trials, immunotherapy, and Interleukin-2

2. It is important that you, your loved ones or family, or a patient advocate ask about what medical technologies are available to treat the type of cancer that you have. As you can see from Howard's experience, there are many options that may help save your life and improve your quality of life.

3. Don't isolate yourself. Isolation brings darkness.

4. Call for help and hold on to hope.

5. Find your happy place and go there!

My Sister's Keeper Raising and Losing a Sister to Liver Cancer with Andrea Wilson Woods

Wed, 25 Jan 2023 09:00:24 +0000

Andrea Wilson Woods is a writer who loves to tell stories, and a patient advocate who founded the nonprofit Blue Faery: The Adrienne Wilson Liver Cancer Association. Andrea is the CEO and co-founder of Cancer University, a for-profit, social-impact, digital health company. Her best-selling and award-winning book, Better Off Bald: A Life in 147 Days, is a medical memoir about raising and losing her sister, Adrienne, to liver cancer.

✨A few highlights from the show:

1. Even if there is resistance from the provider and healthcare team, always ask questions. Ask many as you need to ask until you get the information that you need in a way that you understand it. Your life or your loved one's life can depend on it.

2. You have to be a force of nature. You have to stand up for the patient because the patient's focus needs to be on getting well and resting. Often the patient doesn't have the time or energy to participate in those conversations. So the caregiver, whether it's a spouse or a friend, or a parent or sibling, the onus is on the caregiver often to take charge.

3. Always keep track of your medical records. Keep them organized in a binder and in a place where you can easily access them. It is a good idea to have electronic and paper copies. Always keep a medical journal with your notes and observations.

Finding Your Balance, Power, and Direction After an Unexpected Hardship Like Cancer with Trish Perry

Wed, 11 Jan 2023 09:00:44 +0000

Trish Perry is a Results Coach and 10-year breast cancer survivor. Trish helps professionals who have been thrown off track by an unexpected hardship to find their inner power, direction, and balance again to regain success and joy in their lives. Trish WAS that professional 10 years ago, pre-cancer. She had a high-powered job and was raising three kids when multiple adversities hit. She was diagnosed with breast cancer, had a double mastectomy, her 91-year-old father had brain surgery and her sister died of cancer; all within 9 months. Trish’s son describes her life in 2 phases: pre-cancer “Corporate Bad Ass Mom” and post-cancer “Zen Mom”. Trish became a coach by accident and adversity and continues coaching with passion and purpose. This is in her “Zen Mom” phase.

Since 2015, Trish’s coached over 100 leaders to navigate the challenges of life and gain their inner power, balance, and direction to have success and joy in life again. She’s also facilitated dozens of workshops and been a keynote speaker to audiences across the US. Trish is also an author. Her new book, “Real, Raw & Relatable” is her journey from “Corporate Bad Ass Mom” to “Zen Mom” launched on October 4, 2022.

✨A few highlights from the show:

1. Cancer is a gift wrapped in sandpaper.

2. Cancer is NOT your fault!

3. Create a "grief list" of people you can call on before something happens. Do it when you are in a good place.

3. Find healing modalities that feel safe for you.

A Four Time Cancer Survivor Shares How Her Approach to Treatment Changed and Why the Balm Box is the Functional Gift to Give with Liz Ben...

Wed, 04 Jan 2023 08:00:50 +0000

Elizabeth (Liz) Benditt, 4x survivor/thriver, Melanoma (2009), Thyroid (2010), Basel Cell (2015), Breast (2017)

Liz is currently President and CEO of The Balm Box, a self-care and gifting site for breast cancer patients. In addition to teaching undergraduate business marketing courses at the University of Kansas, Benditt also serves on the Education First Shawnee Mission board of directors and volunteers with National Charity League. She lives in the Kansas City suburbs with her husband and two children.

✨A few highlights from the show:

1. When you are diagnosed with cancer and making decisions about treatment, ask a lot of questions, take time to understand your treatment plan, and think about what is right for you and the quality of life that you want.

2. When making decisions about breast cancer treatment, ask what are the odds of recurrence with and without estrogen therapy.

3. People undergoing cancer treatment prefer functional items as gifts instead of inspirational items.

Personal Fears and Emotional Upsets How They Impact Couples and Marriages with Lane Stokes

Wed, 28 Dec 2022 08:00:20 +0000

Lane Stokes spent five years as an ordained minister before moving toward counseling. Unlike most ministers, he pursued mental health rather than pastoral counseling. He believed it would help him to better understand his clients in whatever type of therapy he would offer. In the past 34 years of private practice as a mental health clinician, and marriage and family counselor, he believes that he was correct in that assumption. During the first 32 years, he developed programs to make marriage counseling quicker and thus less expensive. Lane helps people understand how their emotions operate and how to control them to give the person a way to obtain their needs and desires. He made a big discovery that he now refers to as Counseling Condensed Courses. They can give the participant abilities in three to five sessions that it has taken others three to five years to learn. One of these is the course "Let Us Teach You How to be Married" for married or unmarried couples. Another is "How Others Perceive You".

✨A few highlights from the show:

1. Anxiety isn't a rooted emotion. The rooted emotion is fear.

2. Your personality changes right after you get married.

3. People don't go to counseling because they don't know what is possible in marriage.

Jodi's Climb for Hope Turning Pain Into Passion with Andrew Buerger

Wed, 21 Dec 2022 09:00:57 +0000

When Andrew Buerger's sister was diagnosed with terminal breast cancer, her courage and strength spurred Andy to turn pain into a passion. Andy founded Jodi's Climb for Hope, which raised more than $900,000 for research by leading mountain-climbing expeditions-an apt metaphor for the struggles women affected by breast cancer endure. In 2008 tragedy struck again when Andy's wife Jen was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Jodi's Climb for Hope expanded the scope of its mission into multiple sclerosis research as well. On an expedition in Iceland, Andy discovered something that he developed into B'More Organic, a protein drink that Inc. magazine ranked as the fifth fastest-growing natural brand. With engaging mountaineering, business, and personal stories, Andrew shares the guiding principles that have helped him navigate the peaks and valleys of his life.

✨A few highlights from the show:

1. Since 2007, Climb For Hope has taken over 250 people safely up summits around the world, raising approximately $750,000 for early-stage research.

2. Breast cancer vaccine - https://www.baltimoresun.com/health/bal-vaccineside1012-story.html

A Mother's Story of Traveling Through Grief After the Death of Her Child Due to Cancer with Jefri Franks

Wed, 14 Dec 2022 09:00:56 +0000

✨A few highlights from the show:

1. In some ways, society sees death as a failure. "America is the only country in the world that believes death is optional." ~Unknown

2. Grief and mourning are not the same. Grief is what's going on inside of you. For example, sadness, despair, and angst.

Mourning is moving grief from the inside of you to the outside of you by talking about it or writing about it.

3. Men and women grieve differently.

✨A few highlights from the show:

1. The Arukah Method, is Mayim's approach and her school's approach to holistic health and healing. The word arukah, comes from the Bible. It means whole, restoration, and complete healing.

2. Nutrition, exercise, water, sunshine, temperance, fresh air, rest, and trust in God, helps to heal cancer, and other diseases.

Stage 4 NonSmoker Lung Cancer: It Can Happen to Anyone with Tiffany Fagnani

Wed, 30 Nov 2022 08:00:14 +0000

Tiffany was diagnosed with stage 4 non-small cell lung cancer that had spread to her brain at age 36. Prior to her diagnosis, Tiffany lived an active, healthy lifestyle and worked as a nurse. Never did she think that one day, she herself would become the patient that she had spent her career caring for. Throughout her diagnosis, Tiffany has learned to become her own best advocate and work with her healthcare team to find the best treatment for her specific type of lung cancer. In July 2020, Tiffany’s doctors declared her NED – no evidence of disease.

✨A few highlights from the show:

1. Anyone with lungs can get lung cancer. It does not matter your age or if you smoke.

A Breast Cancer Thriver Shares Why Diversity Matters in Cancer Care with Nic Hyl

Wed, 30 Nov 2022 06:00:07 +0000

Nic Hyl is a fashion designer and cancer thriver. After being diagnosed with breast cancer in March 2022, she along with her husband, set out to help others by creating a foundation that donates funds from the sale of selected products, to help women, men, and families battling the daily costs of breast cancer. Live Beautiful Nation Foundation launched on October 1, 2022.

✨A few highlights from the show:

1. Nic shared that the one thing she would have done differently was getting a second opinion.

Some reasons to get a second opinion are a) To prevent a misdiagnosis. b) A diagnosis is not definitive. c) There can be more than one "right" treatment.

2. Black patients treated by Black doctors tend to fare better, and overall minority patients benefit from having minority doctors. (https://ro.co/health-guide/black-doctors/)

3. If you have doubts or concerns, never be afraid to ask how your race will affect the quality of care that you will receive.

How to Be a Caregiver with No Regrets with Rayna Neises

Wed, 16 Nov 2022 08:00:19 +0000

Rayna Neises author of No Regrets: Hope for Your Caregiving Season, ICF certified coach, Positive Approach® to Care Independent Certified Trainer, the host of “A Season of Caring” podcast, and speaker is passionate about supporting daughters and sons in a season of caring with their aging parents. Rayna lost both of her parents to Alzheimer’s disease twenty years apart. After her season of caring for her dad through his journey, she founded A Season of Caring where she offers regret-free resources, encouragement, and support aimed at preventing family caregivers from aimlessly wandering through this important season of life. Rayna lives on a farm in southeast Kansas with her husband, Ron, and a small pack of adorable dogs. She is the baby of her family, but most would never guess. In her free time, Rayna enjoys crafts of all kinds and spending time with her grandkids most of all.

✨A few highlights from the show:

1. Caregiving is a new season and you can't do all that you did in your season before. You have to make room!

2. Set clear expectations for in-home care providers. Share routines and document things so they are aware of your expectations. However, identify expectations for yourself first and write them down.

3. When you become a caregiver you are managing.

4. Gift your favorite caregiver CARE for the Caregiver affirmation cards. Give some encouragement

The Caregivers Path to Soul Care and Self-Healing with Dr. Edward Smink

Wed, 09 Nov 2022 08:00:18 +0000

Dr. Edward Smink Ph.D. defended his doctoral thesis, “Thresholds of Afflictions: The Heroic Journey of Healing,” at Pacifica Graduate Institute in May of 2010 and graduated with a Ph.D. in Philosophy with an emphasis in Depth Psychology. His dissertation hallmarks what Dr. Smink considers a sacred trust of his over forty years of experience in healthcare as a registered nurse, crisis and pastoral counselor, executive leader, facilitator of mission, ethics, spirituality, value and leadership formation, and a leader and promoter of community health. Dr. Smink likes to claim that along with his academic credentials, he has learned much as a caregiver from his experience with colleagues who care for others and from those who needed his services. His book The Soul of Caregiving, A Caregiver’s Guide to Healing and Transformation is an outcome of his dissertation and his contribution to caregivers and the community.

✨A few highlights from the show:

1. Health care is a spiritual practice.

2. Being wounded means not having all of the answers.

3. Compassion fatigue has to do with something we love to do.

Social Security Disability: The Importance of Section 13 Disability Listings for Cancer Patients with Spencer Bishins

Wed, 26 Oct 2022 07:00:13 +0000

Spencer Bishins has a master’s degree from the London School of Economics, and a law degree from Florida State University. After law school, he worked in the private sector for two years prior to joining the Social Security Administration (SSA) in 2010. He worked at the Appeals Council for almost four years, reviewing thousands of disability decisions for compliance with SSA’s complex rules and procedures. He then worked at the hearing level for seven years, where he drafted almost 2,000 decisions for SSA Administrative Law Judges. After working for SSA for more than 10 years, he wanted to help demystify the complicated disability system. His first book, Social Security Disability Revealed: Why it’s so hard to access benefits and what you can do about it, explores the obstacles that disability claimants face as they try to access benefits.

✨A few highlights from the show:

1. Many people are denied at the beginning of the social security disability benefits process because they have incomplete medical records and there is an incentive to deny claims.

2. Don't DIY when applying for social security benefits.

3. Disability Evaluation Under Social Security - Cancer Listings, https://www.ssa.gov/disability/professionals/bluebook/13.00-NeoplasticDiseases-Malignant-Adult.htm

In February of 2003, Ruth Bachman was a left-handed woman, wife, and mother in apparent good health.

Shedding Light on Nutraceuticals for Health Support with Bogdan Chugunov

Wed, 24 Aug 2022 07:00:24 +0000

Bogdan Chugunov is a 17-year gastric/stomach cancer survivor. He has traveled around the globe to find people who had minimal mortality rates due to cancer. He found that diet played a big part in the low rates, and he also discovered the amazing healing properties of beehive products. Bogdan incorporated nutraceuticals that help people get and stay healthy under Bee Magic and Health Republic brands. He personally tests and consumes all of his products in addition to sharing his experience and knowledge. Bogdan is not a medical doctor.

✨A few highlights from the show:

1. Nutraceuticals are food or dietary supplements that are believed to provide health benefits.

2. 100% of nutraceuticals can be absorbed into the body. Our bodies are not designed to consume pills or capsules. Therefore, only about 5-10% can be absorbed from consumption.

3. The immune system or immune barrier is the only thing that can prevent cancer development.

Cancer and the Healthcare System Through the Eyes of a Daughter, Caregiver, and Patient Advocate with Melissa Mullamphy

Wed, 03 Aug 2022 07:14:42 +0000

Melissa Mullamphy is a patient advocate. She was also the caregiver for her mother, Constance Burns, who passed away from ovarian cancer. She has a message that needs to be heard and tips on making your healthcare experience and outcomes positive. Melissa wrote a memoir and self-help book called, Not in Vain, A Promise Kept. It is about her mom's battle with ovarian cancer 10 years ago. It is a real and raw account of what her mother and her family went through for nine months of her cancer journey that she ultimately lost. Melissa's vision and goal are to get the message out and help people find their voice and take better control of their health.

✨A few highlights from the show:

1. Ovarian cancer is known as the "silent killer" because the symptoms are often mistaken for other benign conditions, particularly the ones that affect the gastrointestinal system, or simply changes in a woman's body as she ages.

2. Always research hospitals, facilities, and doctors before becoming a patient. Read the reviews and ratings. Use them as a guide.

3. Befriend nurses.

How to Share Acts of Love When Cancer Shows Up at Work and in Your Personal Life with Kim Hamer

Wed, 13 Jul 2022 07:00:04 +0000

On April 16, 2009, Kim Hamer watched her 44-yr-old husband take his last breath. During his illness and after his death, she was amazed by the helpful ways their coworkers, bosses, friends, and family supported them. Kim started calling their kind actions "acts of love".

After the death of her husband, Kim, an HR leader, noticed how little guidance leaders received when navigating cancer, health crisis, or the death of a team member. She knew their lack of knowledge negatively affected morale, employee engagement, and productivity. She set out to change that. Combining her personal experience with her professional knowledge and leadership skills, Kim launched her business to support leaders and coworkers when cancer (or any health crisis) affects a team member.

✨A few highlights from the show:

When someone has cancer, do NOT say, "If you need anything let me know"!

WHY? What is anything? They have no idea what kind of help they need. They do not want to risk rejection.

Instead, be specific about HOW you can help.

3. According to Richard, the first step to learn about clinical trials that may be available is to look into retail oncology. They have access to technology and resources. Also, spread the word that you are looking for a clinical trial. Word of mouth goes a long way!

4. VisitClinicalTrials.gov to get more information about clinical trials.

5. Learn more about the mission of the Cancer Moonshot.

How Insight and Changing Our Signal Can Lead to Inner Peace and Healing

Wed, 20 Apr 2022 09:00:00 +0000

When Ann was 19, she woke one morning to find her mother dead in her bathroom. Twenty years later, the tears from that trauma were still just under the surface. Ann found a simple technique that helped her release these emotions - but she went further and can now put her awareness inside her body - and has changed the bone structure of her skull and grown ½ an inch at age 55. Ann has found that seeking out our truth, what we truly feel, and accepting those feelings, is the key to inner peace.

A few highlights from the show:

1. Using EFT during and after cancer treatment can help release tension (dis-ease) in the body and find the true feelings one has about the diagnosis.

2. Our thoughts replay so we can release the energy around them and get them out of our minds.

3. Everything that we are experiencing is a result of our previous signal. The good thing is that our signal can be changed to attract different results.

4. Insight is bodywork. It is feeling where your awareness is. It allows you to get to know yourself on a deeper level.

How Grace De Angeli Became the Hero of Her Cancer Journey

Wed, 13 Apr 2022 09:00:00 +0000

Grace De Angeli is a wife, an entrepreneur, and a breast cancer survivor. Her life was plagued with childhood trauma, physical abuse, and a suicide attempt at the age of 21. When she was 47, Grace was diagnosed with breast cancer while watching their family business being taken due to a bad project. She had to look within and start to heal her body, her mind, and spirit. Grace was able to overcome adversity and discover her calling, which is to help people who might be suffering as she once did. Today she is the founder of TheAngelsofGrace.me, a journey focused on self-discovery and how to heal from breast cancer and other life traumas.

A few highlights from the show:

1. It is not what happens, but the meaning we give it.

2. When you have your own back you can get through anything.

3. What we go through is not for us to keep. It is to be shared and help others.

David Meine's Remarkable Journey to More than Healthy

Wed, 06 Apr 2022 09:00:00 +0000

David Meine is a cancer survivor, competitive road bike cyclist, and dedicated pickleball athlete. He is also an experienced career entrepreneur with a long list of successful launches under his belt. When he’s not out winning athletic medals, holding motivational talks, or advising business boards, David dedicates his time to furthering the mission he and Carla are most passionate about: Eating To Live! Over the past two decades, David’s work, books, and remarkable journey have inspired thousands of people to transform their health in the same way.

A few highlights from the show:

1. The sugar issue is real! Less sugar leads to amazing health.

2. When you get adequate sleep (7 - 8 hours), the brain shrinks, and toxins move through the glymphatic system. We can't have good brain health when we are sleep-deprived and overloaded with sugar.

3. Understanding the health of your stool and bowel movement frequency is very important. Download the Bristol Stool Chart. https://morethanhealthy.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Bristol-Stool-Chart-2.pdf

See Cancer Differently with Martha Tettenborn

Wed, 02 Mar 2022 11:00:00 +0000

Martha Tettenborn RD is a Registered Dietitian and certified Primal Health Coach with over 30 years of experience working in various areas of nutrition. Her private health coach practice, The Cancer Doula, promotes a low-carb, whole-food-based approach to disease prevention and cancer symptom management. When diagnosed with Stage 1 ovarian cancer, Martha began exploring the research of the disease and discovered the science of cancer metabolism. This led her to develop and use a protocol of ketogenic diet with targeted therapeutic fasting to significantly impact her response to chemotherapy. Inspired by her own journey, Martha wants to help others see cancer differently – as an experience that will give you strength, wisdom, and more love for your body and life than ever before.

A few highlights from the show:

1. Cancer does not burn fuel in the same way healthy cells do.

2. Cancer cells are hungry all the time. Fasting can stress cancer cells.

3. Metabolism = Fueling = Food

4. Love your body!

How Savio Clemente Survived Cancer and Why Men Need to Upgrade

Wed, 23 Feb 2022 10:00:00 +0000

Savio P. Clemente coaches cancer survivors to overcome the confusion and gain the clarity needed to get busy living in mind, body, and spirit. He inspires health and wellness seekers to find meaning in the "why" and to cultivate resilience in their mindset. Savio is a Board Certified wellness coach (NBC-HWC, ACC), author, syndicated columnist , podcaster , stage 3 cancer survivor, and founder of The Human Resolve LLC.

A few highlights from the show:

1. Ask men how they "really" feel.

2. Toughness will only get you to some level of acceptance, some level of sensation, but it won't get you to the finish line because toughness, to some degree, is not something that you need, it's something that you kind of want.

3. The path is the middle way.

4. I Survived Cancer And Here is How I Did It book, released on 2/22/2022. Order here https://www.isurvivedcancer.co/. Also available on Amazon.

The Inspirational Caregiver with Dr. Odell Glenn, Jr.

Wed, 16 Feb 2022 10:00:00 +0000

Dr. Odell Glenn, Jr. holds four degrees in various engineering disciplines, including a doctorate in chemical engineering. He is an engineering instructor at a research university. In addition to his scholarly achievements, he serves as an ordained minister at an AME church. He is an author, motivational speaker, radio host personality, and primary caregiver to his parents. Dr. Glenn, Jr. is also the founder and CEO of a non-profit called The 3 Tier Foundation, which provides SAT prep courses for high school students, financial education workshops for entrepreneurs and small businesses, and respite care for caregivers.

A few highlights from the show:

1. Some caregivers die BEFORE the recipient of care because they are not getting the care they need. Caregivers must maintain balance and take time for themselves.

2. There may come a time when you will need professional help to care for a parent or loved one to ensure they are cared for properly. Never say never and let go of your pride. It is ok.

3. The joy is in the journey of the process. Accept that you will not understand everything.

What Affects Us Externally Affects Us Internally with Sedruola Maruska

Wed, 09 Feb 2022 10:00:00 +0000

Sedruola Maruska is a social justice, equity, inclusion, and diversity consultant and coach, host of the award-winning podcast Diversity Dish, speaker, aspiring author, and breast cancer survivor. She’s a graduate of Andrews University with a BA in Graphic Arts, a former Conversational English teacher, Corporate Trainer, and Executive Assistant. Her passion is helping individuals in business cultivate cultures of equity and inclusion, so they attract the diverse partnerships they desire.

A few highlights from the show:

1. The most important thing that Sedruola has learned is that the time is NOW. The important moment is right now, and what you do intentionally right now, decides what happens next.

2. "I should", are words that Sedruola is actively working to remove from her language. She believes we are right where we are supposed to be.

3. Sedruola is a coach because she believes each individual person needs to tap into their power. She is a consultant because she feels companies focus a lot on diversity. However, equity & inclusion is about changing minds, practices, and processes to attract diversity.

Cancer Oral Side Effect Support with Jill Meyer-Lippert

Wed, 02 Feb 2022 10:00:00 +0000

Jill Meyer-Lippert is a Registered Dental Hygienist of nearly 30 years. She took an interest early in her career in the oral health concerns of people who were diagnosed with cancer. She created a one-of-a-kind online resource for cancer patients, family caregivers, and healthcare providers to reduce harmful oral side effects of treatments that can potentially affect treatment outcomes and quality of life throughout survivorship.

A few highlights from the show:

1. The oral-systemic link is the link between the health of your mouth and your overall health.

2. Yearly, thorough oral cancer screenings should be performed by your dentist. Not just a visual screening but also tactile and feeling the tissues.

3. Places to get affordable dental care if you don't have insurance: (a) community dental clinics with sliding scales, (b) dental schools, (c) virtual or teledentistry care.

4. Do oral screenings at home. Learn how. >> https://checkyourmouth.org/
