“Cancer is not a genetic disease, it’s a metabolic one.” – Dr. Thomas Seyfried, Professor of Biology & author of Cancer as a Metabolic Disease

🧬 Cancer doesn’t just happen overnight. It develops over time, often starting with mitochondrial dysfunction, long before a diagnosis. When our mitochondria (our cell’s energy factories) are damaged, cells shift to a fermentation-based metabolism… even when oxygen is present. This is the hallmark of cancer metabolism.

But here’s the hopeful news…

You can support healthy mitochondria and potentially prevent cancer through diet and lifestyle.

Science-backed strategies:

✅ Vigorous exercise

✅ Fasting

✅ A low-carb, nutrient-dense diet full of cruciferous veggies, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory whole foods.

It’s not about fear, it’s about empowerment.

Prevention is powerful.

"You are a creature of free will. You get to choose what you put in your mouth and swallow, and those choices ultimately determine your health. Your taste buds and gut microbes can change, and you can train them to fall in love with things that are actually good for you." -Dr. Will Bulsiewicz

I have been invited to speak at the Healing Strong cancer support group next Thursday, April 25th at 7pm MST. This is an open invitation to anyone wanting to learn how to harness the power of nutrition and holistic therapies in the fight against cancer, regardless of whether or not you choose to use conventional treatment. Nutrition is our first, most powerful medicine and it’s administered three times a day. We improve symptoms and our chances of healing when we provide our body with the support it needs. Some of the things you will learn in this webinar....

1. Leveraging fasting (autophagy) and detoxing to encourage cell repair.

2. The power of juicing to provide cells with essential nutrients and to oxygenate the body.

3. Nutrition to alkalize the body and support its powerful healing mechanisms.

4. Holistic therapies that can help reduce inflammation and encourage quicker recovery and healing.

I am also thrilled to announce that I will have a special guest and courageous cancer survivor join me who has healed by implementing the nutrition, therapies, and methods that will be discussed. I cannot wait for you to hear her powerful story of inspiration and hope. To everyone else, she goes by Patti. To me, she is Mom. Since this is a topic close to my heart, there is no cost.

All the love, health & healing. 💚

Dr. Mark Hyman remains one of my favorite functional medicine physicians, and I was lucky enough to hear him lecture at my college. “When you create health, disease goes away as a side effect. It’s really about putting in the right inputs, and taking out the things that are causing imbalance. You have to address every aspect of health, starting with food.”
