Renegade Nutrition

The holidays don't have to send your blood sugar—and your symptoms—spiraling. Even in a season filled with cookies, cocktails, and comfort foods, you can stay steady, clear-headed, and grounded in your healing.Welcome to Day 1 of The 12 Days of Holiday Resilience, a special Renegade Remission series designed to support your mind, body, and spirit through what can be one of the most overwhelming times of year for those living with or recovering from serious illness.Sugar shows up everywhere in December—and for most people, it's just a treat. But for those navigating cancer, autoimmune disease, neurological illness, or chronic fatigue, sugar isn't just dessert… it's a physiological disruptor.In today's episode, we explore why blood sugar swings hit harder when your body is healing, why holiday cravings are often more emotional than physical, and how you can enjoy the season without sacrificing your stability.We'll also revisit a core truth from your healing nutrition blueprint:Every remission story, regardless of diet type, starts with reducing added and excess sugar.By the end of this episode, you'll learn:What sugar actually does inside the body—especially for those managing inflammation, immune dysfunction, or neurological conditions.How to stabilize your energy during the holidays using simple nutrition strategies that don't involve restriction or deprivation.Why holiday cravings often mask deeper emotional needs like connection, rest, nostalgia, or comfort.Five grounding practices you can use immediately—from pairing treats with protein to hydrating before you crave—to prevent the spike-crash cycle that often leads to symptom flares.A simple intuitive check-in that helps you discern whether you're craving sugar… or safety.You'll walk away with strategies that stabilize your physiology and your emotions—without skipping the joy of the season.Listen now to learn how to stay calm, steady, and nourished through the sweetest season of the year—while honoring your healing and still enjoying the magic (and the cookies).Join us tomorrow for Day 2, where we'll explore how to protect your peace and keep stress from hijacking your energy when holiday pressures rise.DISCLAIMERThis podcast is for educational purposes only and does not offer medical advice.

What if the key to surviving an “incurable” diagnosis wasn't found in a lab, but in your kitchen? In this extraordinary episode, we follow the true story of Pablo Kelly, who defied every medical prediction after walking away from radiation and chemotherapy for a terminal brain tumor—and used nutrition alone to reclaim his life.Diagnosed with glioblastoma multiforme, the most aggressive form of brain cancer, Pablo was given less than a year to live. But instead of accepting that fate, he began a radical nutritional experiment—one that would change the course of his health, and challenge everything medicine thought it knew about cancer metabolism.Through a strict ketogenic diet, Pablo starved his tumor's primary fuel source—glucose—forcing his body into a state of ketosis that favored healing over growth. Over time, his scans stabilized, his energy returned, and what doctors once called “impossible” became his reality: full remission.By the end of this episode, you'll discover:The remarkable true story of Pablo Kelly's recovery from glioblastoma multiforme—and what his decade of survival reveals about the body's ability to heal.The emerging science of metabolic therapies—and how food can influence cancer metabolism, inflammation, and repair.The shared nutritional patterns seen across documented cases of remission, no matter the diagnosis.Why “one-size-fits-all” diets fail—and how aligning food choices with intuition, feedback, and physiology can become a personal blueprint for healing.You'll also hear how Pablo's journey connects to other stories of remission—from plant-based to ketogenic to carnivore—and what they share at the cellular level: a return to whole, unprocessed, life-giving foods that allow the body to remember how to heal.Listen now to learn how one man's refusal to accept the inevitable—and his willingness to trust his body's intelligence—redefined what healing from cancer can mean. Because sometimes, the most radical act of hope begins with what's on your plate.DisclaimerThis podcast is for educational purposes only and does not offer medical advice.

What if one simple choice—something you do three times a day—could begin to reverse disease? In this episode of Renegade Remission, we explore how changing what you eat can change everything—from reversing chronic illness to rebuilding cellular health. Through real stories of recovery, we'll look at how food becomes medicine, and how learning to listen to your body's cues can guide your path back to wellness.You'll hear the incredible story of Tom Wood, who reversed fifteen years of diabetes through food alone, and discover what all healing diets share beneath their surface differences. From ketogenic to plant-based, from intuitive eating to data-driven tracking, these stories reveal the same underlying principle: when you give your body what it truly needs, it remembers how to heal.By the end of this episode, you'll discover:The most common dietary changes people credit for their remission—and what patterns unite them.How one man reversed diabetes and eliminated all medications through nutrient-rich, anti-inflammatory foods.How to begin tracking, listening, and responding to your body's unique nutritional language.Why healing through food isn't about perfection or ideology—it's about alignment, sustainability, and self-awareness.You'll also learn how food can directly influence insulin sensitivity, mitochondrial repair, inflammation, and even the body's immune intelligence—mechanisms that support healing in conditions from diabetes and heart disease to cancer, Alzheimer's, and MS.Listen now to discover how changing what you eat can change your entire trajectory of health. Whether you start with one meal or a total reset, your body is always communicating—and food is one of the ways it speaks.DisclaimerThis podcast is for educational purposes only and does not offer medical advice.

If you've ever wondered if and how food has the power to change the course of disease, this is the episode that explains it all.In this deep dive, we unpack the science behind remission nutrition: how sugar, fats, additives, grains, and hydration influence your cells' ability to repair and regenerate. You'll learn how diseases like cancer, Alzheimer's, and autoimmune disorders share the same biological roots — mitochondrial dysfunction, inflammation, and metabolic imbalance — and how nutrition can begin to reverse those processes.By the end of this episode, you'll understand:Why sugar fuels cellular dysfunction across nearly every chronic disease.The truth about fats — which ones nourish healing, and which ones inflame it.How food dyes, additives, and toxins disrupt cellular repair.The nuanced science behind grains, dairy, and meat quality — and why “how it's raised” matters.How hydration and minerals influence energy, detoxification, and immunity.You'll come away with a clear blueprint for evaluating your own diet from a scientific — not ideological — lens, so you can begin rebuilding your body from the inside out.Listen now to learn how to transform your metabolism, restore cellular health, and create an internal environment where healing becomes biologically possible — no matter your diagnosis.This podcast is for educational purposes only and does not offer medical advice.

If fear can shut down your body's ability to heal, what might happen if you learned to release it?Fear isn't just an emotion—it's a biological signal that locks the body into fight-or-flight mode, shutting down immunity and blocking recovery. For those facing serious illness, fear of the future or fear of death can feel overwhelming.

Can your body really heal just because you believe it can? In this episode, we explore how expectation creates real biological changes—sometimes as powerful as medication or surgery.From sham surgeries that relieve chronic pain to sugar pills that rival morphine, the science of placebo and nocebo shows us that healing isn't only about what we take, but also what we believe.
