#416 Finding Your Peace After Breast Cancer - Burning The Manuals

If you've ever found yourself hurt, frustrated, or emotionally drained because someone didn't do what you thought they should—especially after you asked—this episode is for you. In this conversation, I'm talking about a powerful concept I use with my clients all the time, called “the manual.” It's the invisible rulebook we write in our minds about how other people should behave and what their actions (or lack of action) mean about us. But here's the catch: no one else has a copy of that manual. And when people don't follow our unspoken rules, we end up making it mean something painful—like “they don't care,” or “they don't love me.” That pain builds up, and it affects our emotional and physical health, especially when we're healing after something as life-changing as breast cancer. So in this episode, I'm sharing how to spot when you're living by a manual, how to burn it, and how to replace it with something far more powerful: clear, loving boundaries that support your peace and your healing.

This episode is such an exciting one, and honestly, it might just change the way you think about what you eat—especially if you've ever felt confused or overwhelmed about what's “safe” or supportive after a breast cancer diagnosis. I'm talking about two powerful cellular processes that are important for us to understand: autophagy and angiogenesis. These are what researchers call hallmarks of cancer—but they're also incredible opportunities for healing. And the best part? You don't need to fast for days or eat perfectly to support them. You just need to make some smart, loving food and lifestyle choices—and I'll walk you through what those are. We'll talk about how to support your body's natural clean-up system (autophagy) and how to regulate the way your body builds blood vessels (angiogenesis)—all through everyday foods, simple habits, and ditching the all-or-nothing mindset.

In this episode of Better Than Before Breast Cancer, we're talking about the concept of resistance — a natural, human response to discomfort, fear, and change. Resistance can show up in many forms, whether you're facing a difficult decision, trying to adopt new habits, or navigating life after cancer treatment. But here's the good news: resistance isn't something to fight. It's a powerful signal that you're on the verge of growth. Let's talk about: -Why does resistance come up -How can it affect your ability to move forward -How to work with resistance instead of against it I'll give you practical steps to help you embrace resistance as a natural part of the healing journey and turn it into an opportunity for personal growth. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Understanding Resistance: Why resistance is a natural and protective mechanism our minds use to avoid discomfort and uncertainty. The Science Behind Resistance: Discover how theories like cognitive dissonance and the Fogg Behavior Model explain why we resist change and how to break free from it. How Resistance Shows Up: Explore the subtle ways we resist without even realizing it, like procrastination, perfectionism, and busyness. Practical Steps to Overcome Resistance: Learn actionable strategies to embrace resistance, including acknowledging it, breaking tasks into smaller steps, and using self-compassion. Self-Determination Theory: Find out how to tap into your autonomy and regain control to make healthier decisions that align with your goals and values. Why Resistance is Part of the Healing Journey: Learn how to reframe resistance as a sign of growth, especially after cancer treatment or any major life change. Key Takeaways: Resistance isn't your enemy. It's a natural response to fear and discomfort that can guide you to a better, more resilient version of yourself. Embrace small, manageable steps to break through resistance and make progress, even when it feels challenging. Recognizing subtle forms of resistance, like busyness and perfectionism, can help you break free from inaction. Self-compassion and shifting your mindset are powerful tools to move through resistance with grace.

We've Been Wrong About Cancer For 100 Years - Dr. Thomas Seyfried, Boston College, DemystifySci #332

Cancer is one of the most terrifying illnesses of our age - a sudden change that happens silently inside our bodies and slowly eats away at us until there's nothing left. It's also one of the biggest failures of the pharmaceutical age - somewhere between 90 and 97% of all cancer drugs fail at clinical trials. Which is why we're unbelievably excited to bring you our conversation with Dr. Thomas Seyfried, Professor of Biology at Boston College who appears to be hot on the trail of a cure cancer that has nothing to do with the oncology-industrial-complex. According to the dozens of papers he and his colleagues have published over the last few decades, a strict ketogenic diet coupled to a glutamine inhibitor is sufficient to weaken cancer cells to the point that the immune system can actually clear the tumor. A recent paper from his group published in February of 2025 shows the stunning effects of his protocol in a small group of eighteen glioblastoma patients. Median survival for these patients for the last hundred years has been 12-15 months, but with Seyfried's intervention appears to have been extended up to 84 months. That's seven years, for those keeping score.We sit down with Seyfried to take apart his protocol, why it works for cancer, why no one's heard if it, and how everyone has completely misunderstood what cancer actually is.MAKE HISTORY WITH US THIS SUMMER:https://demystifysci.com/demysticon-2025PATREON https://www.patreon.com/c/demystifysciPARADIGM DRIFThttps://demystifysci.com/paradigm-drift-show(00:00) Go!(00:07:33) - Reception of Metabolic Cancer Research(00:10:05) - Breakthrough in Glioblastoma Treatment(00:14:49) - Glutamine-Glutamate Cycle in Cancer(00:16:33) - Challenges and Critiques of Standard Care(00:17:43) - Barriers to Implementing Metabolic Therapies(00:24:19) - Radiation and Cancer Treatment(00:26:07) - Metabolic Approach to Cancer(00:27:30) - Evolutionary Biology's Role in Understanding Cancer(00:28:52) - Mitochondria's Role in Cellular Destiny(00:31:39) - The Oxidative Phosphorylation Process(00:35:28) - Cancer and Mitochondrial Function(00:38:43) - Cellular Electrochemical Gradients(00:41:30) - Cancer's Dependency on Fermentable Fuels(00:45:08) - Glutamine's Role in Cancer Treatment(00:52:11) - Patient Compliance and Dietary Challenges(00:55:33) - Glucose Ketone Index for Health Monitoring(01:06:48) - Fenbendazole and Cancer Research(01:10:02) - Medical Industry Business Models(01:13:27) - Diets and Nutritional Ketosis(01:17:06) - Metabolic Variability and Personalization(01:19:25) - Exercise and Metabolic Health(01:23:43) - Historical Misconceptions in Cancer Treatment(01:26:21) - Obesity and Cancer Prevention(01:28:00) - Metabolic Theories of Cancer(01:47:18) - Metastatic Cancer Origins(01:55:24) - Therapeutic and Collaborative Approaches(01:59:57) - Practical Steps and Transformations#CancerResearch, #glioblastoma, #CancerAwareness, #Oncology, #CancerTreatment, #CancerSurvivor, #FightCancer, #EndCancer, #CancerSupport, #ClinicalTrials, #CancerWarrior, #BeatCancer, #CureCancer, #CancerFighter, #StayStrong, #CancerCommunity, #philosophypodcast, #sciencepodcast, #longformpodcast ABOUS US: Anastasia completed her PhD studying bioelectricity at Columbia University.

For many, navigating a cancer diagnosis can feel overwhelming. While mainstream treatments like chemotherapy remain foundational, emerging scientific research offers exciting new ways to support overall health and wellness during treatment. This week, I'm joined by Ian Mitchell, a research scientist and pharmaceutical consultant. We explore groundbreaking insights into Carbon 60 (C60), a compound with unique properties, and how it may complement lifestyle strategies like ketosis for those looking to support their health during cancer treatment. In this episode, you'll discover: What Is Carbon 60 (C60): C60 is a carbon-based molecule known for its antioxidant properties. When paired with lipids, it may interact with cellular membranes in mitochondria to reduce oxidative stress and promote energy production at the cellular level. "All of your inflammatory markers go down simultaneously while your energy levels are going up," says Mitchell. "And so you feel very robust." The Importance of Ketosis: A ketogenic diet, which emphasizes low-carbohydrate, high-fat nutrition, has been studied for its potential to support metabolic health. Mitchell shares how this dietary approach may create an environment that challenges cancer cell growth while supporting healthy DNA integrity.  How C60 Fits into a Comprehensive Wellness Plan: C60's unique properties allow it to promote healthy cell function while reducing oxidative stress. Mitchell explains how incorporating C60 into a broader health regimen, alongside a supportive diet, may help optimize cellular health and resilience. Chemotherapy Can Be Effective—to an Extent: While chemotherapy plays a crucial role in many treatment plans, Mitchell and I discuss why personalized approaches to wellness and treatment may provide better outcomes.
